Solution for SpecificationError: nested renamer is not supported while agg() along with groupby()

change

temp['total'] = pd.DataFrame(project_data.groupby(col1)[col2].agg({'total':'count'})).reset_index()['total']

temp['Avg'] = pd.DataFrame(project_data.groupby(col1)[col2].agg({'Avg':'mean'})).reset_index()['Avg']

to

temp['total'] = pd.DataFrame(project_data.groupby(col1)[col2].agg(total='count')).reset_index()['total']
temp['Avg'] = pd.DataFrame(project_data.groupby(col1)[col2].agg(Avg='mean')).reset_index()['Avg']

reason: in new pandas version named aggregation is the recommended replacement for the deprecated “dict-of-dicts” approach to naming the output of column-specific aggregations (Deprecate groupby.agg() with a dictionary when renaming).
