How to read images from pandas column in a pytorch class
I need to define a pytorch dataset class that reads the absolute path from a column to pull the image. When I try this with multiple packages, I get errors.  Below are the errors for each package I'm aware of:

Pathlib.Path: TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not method

glob.glob: TypeError: expected str, bytes or os.PathLike object, not method

os.path: TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

Below is my pytorch custom dataset.

class image_Dataset(Dataset):
'''
image data class    

'''
def __init__(self, data, transform = None):
    '''
    Args:
    ------------------------------------------------------------
        data = dataframe
        image = column in dataframe with absolute path to the image
        label = column in dataframe that is the target classification variable
        policy = ID variable

    '''
    self.image_frame = data
    self.transform = transform

def __len__(self):
    return len(self.image_frame)

def __getitem__(self, idx):
    if torch.is_tensor(idx):
        idx = idx.tolist()

    label = self.image_frame.iloc[idx, 16]
    pic = Path(self.image_frame.iloc[idx,19])
    img = Image.open(pic)
    policy = self.image_frame.iloc[idx, 1]
    sample = {'image': img, 'policy': policy, 'label':label}

    if self.transform:
        image = self.transform(image)

    return image, label, policy


path column in my dataset values looks like the following:

single positional indexer is out-of-bounds is telling you that your are trying to access a column that is not there. Make sure that the columns you are trying to access exist
