Code Sample, a copy-pastable example if possible
import pandas as pd
from scipy.stats import pearsonr
df = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1,2,3], 'B': [2,5,6]})
df.corr(method='a')

7038 return self._constructor(correl, index=idx, columns=cols)
ValueError: method must be either 'pearson', 'spearman', or 'kendall', 'a' was supplied
Problem description
The ValueError
in the example above does not mention that a callable
could be supplied to corr
as well. I would suggest to add this to the error message.
Expected Output
ValueError: method must be either 'pearson', 'spearman', 'kendall' or callable, 'a' was supplied
Output of pd.show_versions()
