Unexpected error: <class 'AttributeError'>

Issue: Attempting to work through the tutorial using the tutorial files. However, whenever I reach try to merge replicates using the 'replicate consistency' function or use table filtering to extract Arthropods. I am met with the following message: "Unexpected error: <class 'AttributeError'>.

Hi @MattGFFI and @TillMacher,

I also encountered the same error [1, 2] while running both "apscale_gui" and "TTT". However, my colleague recommended using writer.close() instead of writer.save() in the following files which resolved the issue:

• /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/apscale_gui/settings_file.py
• /Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/taxontabletools/taxon_table_filtering.py

Btw, downgrading the latest version of pandas might be an another solution.

best, Onur.
