pandas read_html error: unexpected keyword argument 'max_rows' - pandas

Question

I'm trying to write a scraper to scrape Option prices from Yahoo Finance. The code below is working and even gives the correct output answer. The problem is that right before the answer, I get the following error:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

TypeError: __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'max_rows'
I tried researching the cause of the error in different stackoverflow questions, as well as the github repo of the pandas library. The closest thing I found was in the what's new section of the pandas 0.24.0 "max_rows and max_cols parameters removed from HTMLFormatter since truncation is handled by DataFrameFormatter GH23818"
My code is as follows:
import lxml
import requests
from time import sleep
ticker = 'AAPL'
url = "http://finance.yahoo.com/quote/%s/options?p=%s"%(ticker,ticker)
response = requests.get(url, verify=False)
print ("Parsing %s"%(url))
sleep(15)
parser = lxml.html.fromstring(response.text)
tables = parser.xpath('//table')
print(len(tables))
puts = lxml.etree.tostring(tables[1], method='html')
df = pd.read_html(puts, flavor='bs4')[0]
df.tail()
The df.tail() shows correctly the last 5 rows of the table, but I can't seem to remove the error. Also every time I use the dataframe, I get a correct result, but the error is shown again.
Thanks in advance in helping with my error.

Answer 1

For future reference:
The error was driven by the anaconda install of the packages.
By pip installing the packages, the error goes away.
