Geopandas not working after importing a file from a different directory

I am trying to make a map in python using shapefiles I have downloaded from bbike.org. Here is my code:
import geopandas as gpd
import os
import sys
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
bos_files_list = ['buildings.shx', 'landuse.shx', 'natural.shx', 'places.shx', 'points.shx', 'railways.shx', 'roads.shx']
cur_path = os.path.dirname(__file__)
def maps_of_bos(files):
for x in range(len(files)):
os.chdir(f'location/of/file')
f = open(f'{files[x]}', 'r')
gpd.read_file(f)
z = maps_of_bos(bos_files_list)
z.plot()
plt.show()
However, my error output is as follows:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "test.py", line 16, in <module>
z = maps_of_bos(bos_files_list)
File "test.py", line 13, in maps_of_bos

on.py", line 126, in __init__
raise DriverError("no driver")
fiona.errors.DriverError: no driver
I am relatively new to python, and don't really understand my error. can someone please help me?

According to the docs read_file should take the path to the file not an object.
gpd.read_file(f'{files[x]}')
you dont need
f = open(f'{files[x]}', 'r')

Report Lab is not producing/saving a pdf file

Report lab is not producing a pdf in a very simple example/try:
from arcpy import *
from reportlab.lib.styles import getSampleStyleSheet, ParagraphStyle
from pyPdf import PdfFileWriter, PdfFileReader
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter, cm
from reportlab.platypus import Paragraph
from reportlab.lib import colors
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
filename = "HelloWorld.pdf"
c = canvas.Canvas(filename)
c.drawString(100,750,"Welcome to Reportlab!")
c.save()
These two lines work fine:
c.drawString(100,750,"Welcome to Reportlab!")
c.save()
But is this one that throw the errors. I've tried to change the path, the filename, try the 'r' before the string of text for the path+filename, nothing works.
I've got this error trace:
Traceback (most recent call last):

You need to call showPage():
from reportlab.pdfgen import canvas
filename = "HelloWorld.pdf"
c = canvas.Canvas(filename)
c.drawString(100,750,"Welcome to Reportlab!")
c.showPage()
c.save()

use polyglot package for Named Entity Recognition in hebrew

I am trying to use the polyglot package for Named Entity Recognition in hebrew.
this is my code:
# -*- coding: utf8 -*-
import polyglot
from polyglot.text import Text, Word
from polyglot.downloader import downloader
downloader.download("embeddings2.iw")
text = Text(u"in france and in germany")
print(type(text))
text2 = Text(u"נסעתי מירושלים לתל אביב")
print(type(text2))
print(text.entities)
print(text2.entities)
this is the output:
<class 'polyglot.text.Text'>

ValueError: Package u'embeddings2.iw' not found in index
The english worked but not the hebrew.
Whether I try to download the package u'embeddings2.iw' or not I get:
ValueError: Package u'embeddings2.iw' not found in index

I got it!
It seems like a bug to me.
The language detection defined the language as 'iw' which is the The former ISO 639 language code for Hebrew, and was changed to 'he'.
The text.entities did not recognize the iw code, so i changes it like so:
text2.hint_language_code = 'he'

How do I use reportlab's drawImage with an image url?

When I try the following:
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas
import urllib
import StringIO
import PIL.Image
image_file = urllib.urlopen('https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png')
image_string = StringIO.StringIO(image_file.read())
logo = PIL.Image.open(image_string)
canvas = Canvas('output.pdf', pagesize=letter)
canvas.drawImage(logo, 10, 10)
canvas.showPage()
canvas.save()
I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "imagefromurl.py", line 12, in <module>
canvas.drawImage(logo, 10, 10)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/reportlab/pdfgen/canvas.py", line 857, in drawImage
imgObj = pdfdoc.PDFImageXObject(name, image, mask=mask)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/reportlab/pdfbase/pdfdoc.py", line 2090, in __init__
ext = string.lower(os.path.splitext(source)[1])
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py", line 96, in splitext
return genericpath._splitext(p, sep, altsep, extsep)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/genericpath.py", line 91, in _splitext
sepIndex = p.rfind(sep)
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/PIL/Image.py", line 515, in __getattr__
raise AttributeError(name)
Reportlab is version 2.5.

I was doing it the hard way. This works (also added the necessary mask to avoid transparent becoming black):
from reportlab.lib.pagesizes import letter
from reportlab.pdfgen.canvas import Canvas
from reportlab.lib.utils import ImageReader
logo = ImageReader('https://www.google.com/images/srpr/logo11w.png')
canvas = Canvas('output.pdf', pagesize=letter)
canvas.drawImage(logo, 10, 10, mask='auto')
canvas.showPage()
canvas.save()
Though the hard way would have allowed me to detect a failure to fetch the image url and handle it (e.g. substituting a local image), and this doesn't.

Mistake in Spyder setting

I have a little problem in using Spyder to run a python program:
This is my program:
from PySide.QtGui import QApplication
from pyoppinet.helper.correlation_manager import *
import pyoppinet.network as nt
import numpy as np
from pyoppinet.node import node
from pyoppinet.GUI import network_view as nw
from pyoppinet.pipe.flowline import Flowline
network = nt.PipeLineNetwork(1000.2000)
source1 = node.Source(10,200)
source1.name = 'source1'
source2 = node.Source(150,500)
source2.name = 'source2'
source3 = node.Source(200,400)
source3.name = 'source3'
junction1 =node.Junction(150,600)
junction1.name = 'junction'
sink =node.Sink(300,800)
sink.name = 'sink'
for n in [source1,source2,source3,junction1,sink]:
network.add_node(n)
fl1=Flowline(source1,junction1)
fl2=Flowline(junction1,sink)
fl3=Flowline(source2,sink)
fl4=Flowline(source2,junction1)
fl5=Flowline(source3,sink)
fl6=Flowline(source3,junction1)
for n in [fl1,fl2,fl3,fl4,fl5,fl6]:
network.add_flowline(n)
print [n.name for n in network.get_nodes()]
print 'topological sort', [n.name for n in network.topological_sort()]
a=QApplication([])
view=nw.PipeLineNetworkView(network)
view.show()
a.exec_()
These two rows:
from pyoppinet.helper.correlation_manager import *
import numpy as np
are error.
And the error is:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I believe that the error is caused by the setting in spyder, maybe in tools or something.
Could I change some setting in spyder to fix this problem?
