Error creating Satellite images from THREDDS server after MetPy 0.12->1.1 upgrade

Upgraded MetPy to 1.1 and my ability to produce satellite images from a THREDDS server is no longer working. I isolated the part that is causing me issues.
Example:
#!/usr/bin/python3
import metpy
from siphon.catalog import TDSCatalog
cat_e = TDSCatalog('https://thredds.ucar.edu/thredds/catalog/satellite/goes/east/products/CloudAndMoistureImagery/FullDisk/Channel09/current/catalog.xml')
nc_e = cat_e.datasets[0].remote_access(use_xarray=True)
data_e = nc_e.metpy.parse_cf('Sectorized_CMI')
yields the following output/error
Traceback (most recent call last):

I appreciate any thoughts on how to get around this.

Can you double check that your Python installation with MetPy is correct? I was able to run your code fine on my local install of MetPy 1.1.0 with Python 3.9. Also, your traceback shows Python 3.6 being used; MetPy 1.1.0 only supports Python >=3.7. You should not have been able to install MetPy 1.1.0 with that version of Python.
You can confirm the version of MetPy being used by adding the following to your script:
print(metpy.__version__)

How to use dates in the yahoo_fin Python Package

I recently installed yahoo_fin and I tired the following example:
get_calls('NFLX' ')
It worked. I then tired the following:
get_calls('NFLX', '11/8/2019')
It failed. Here is what I got:
get_calls('NFLX', '11/8/2019')
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
get_calls('NFLX', '11/8/2019')
File "C:\Users\rsher\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\yahoo_fin\options.py", line 48, in get_calls
options_chain = get_options_chain(ticker, date)

File "C:\Users\rsher\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\pandas\compat__init__.py", line 344, in raise_with_traceback
raise exc.with_traceback(traceback)
ValueError: No tables found
I am using version 3.6.3 of Python and I am also using Spyder.
Am I doing something wrong? Do you think I have found a bug?
I updated my version of yahoo_fin. Not really sure it was out of date. I now get the following error messages when I run the command: get_calls("nflx", "1/31/20")
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in

It should work the way you have it.
from yahoo_fin.options import get_calls
get_calls("nflx", "1/31/20")
Are you using the most recent version of yahoo_fin? It should be (as of this writing) version 0.8.4. Another possible issue is that there could have been a problem with Yahoo Finance's page for that option chain at that particular time.

vboxapi COM API not working

I have the virtualbox 5.0.10 Python sdk in my source root, but when I run my code the program will fail:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "C:/Users/xiao/.PyCharm50/config/scratches/scratch", line 2, in <module>
mgr=vboxapi.VirtualBoxManager()
File "C:\Users\xiao\Desktop\test\vboxapi\__init__.py", line 1018, in __init__
self.platform = PlatformMSCOM(dPlatformParams)
File "C:\Users\xiao\Desktop\test\vboxapi\__init__.py", line 513, in __init__
win32com.client.gencache.EnsureDispatch('VirtualBox.Session')
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\gencache.py", line 540, in EnsureDispatch
disp_class = CLSIDToClass.GetClass(str(disp_clsid))
File "C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\win32com\client\CLSIDToClass.py", line 46, in GetClass
return mapCLSIDToClass[clsid]
KeyError: '{7844AA05-B02E-4CDD-A04F-ADE4A762E6B7}'
Here is my code: (really simple, right?)
import vboxapi
mgr=vboxapi.VirtualBoxManager()
This program is buggy under Python 2.7.6, but runabble under Python 3.4.0.
Why? How can I fix that?

maybe do you know why I got this error, and how to fix it ?

OSError: Result too large

I'am playing around with scapy but i cant get it to work. I tried different code's but all gave me the same output:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Iam using python 2.6 with all dependencies installed for scapy.
How to fix this?
