Typerror (Singleton array...) when using train_test_split within a custom class

TypeError: Singleton array array(<__main__.AZHU_EmailClassifier_2 object at 0x000001D6E7A680D0>, dtype=object) cannot be considered a valid collection.

I get this error when I try to run the train_test_split function within my custom AZHU_EmailClassifier_2 class.

My class:

class AZHU_EmailClassifier_2:
    import os
    import numpy as np
    import pandas as pd
    from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

    def __init__(self):
        pass
    
    def retrain_model(self, csv_file):
        
        MIN_ROW_NUMBER = 500
        TEST_SIZE = 0.25
        RANDOM_STATE = 42
        
        self.os.chdir(r"c:\LORI\PROJECTS\ALLIANZ\INCOMING_CHANNELS") # <---- a retraining file mappaja
        
        df=self.pd.read_excel(csv_file,error_bad_lines=False, header=None)
        
        df.dropna(axis=0,how='any', inplace=True)
             
        rows_no=df.shape[0]
        if rows_no<MIN_ROW_NUMBER:
            print("Insufficient number of rows (<35.000)! RETRAINING ABORTED")
            return None

        X=df[0]
        y=df[1]
        
        X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test=self.train_test_split(X,y)
        #X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test=self.train_test_split(X,y,test_size=TEST_SIZE, random_state=RANDOM_STATE, stratify=y)
        
        return X_train

The error is triggered when I run the train_test_split function.

The whole error message:

I have no clue why does it throw this error. Could you please point me in the right direction? Any help is appreciated!

You got this error because you import train_test_split inside the class, therefore, train_test_split becomes a bound method rather than a function, and the instance will be passed as the first argument whenever the method is called. Here is an minimum example that can reconstruct the situation

class test():
    
    from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split
    
    def retrain_model(self):
        print(self.train_test_split)
        print(self.train_test_split())
    
test_instance = test()
test_instance.retrain_model()

After you run this script, you will got an TypeError

TypeError: Singleton array array(<__main__.test object at 0x7ffa473ae438>, dtype=object) cannot be considered a valid collection.

while the location of self.train_test_split in memory is also 0x7ffa473ae438.

According to PEP8

Imports are always put at the top of the file, just after any module comments and docstrings, and before module globals and constants.

Therefore, the simplest solution is to import everything outside the class and call train_test_split directly

import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

class AZHU_EmailClassifier_2():

    def __init__(self):
        pass
    
    def retrain_model(self,):
        
        MIN_ROW_NUMBER = 20
        TEST_SIZE = 0.25
        RANDOM_STATE = 42
                
        df = pd.DataFrame({0:np.linspace(1,100,100),1:np.random.rand(100)})
        X=df[0];y=df[1]
        X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X,y,test_size=TEST_SIZE,random_state=RANDOM_STATE)
        
        return X_train

test = AZHU_EmailClassifier_2()
test.retrain_model()
