can you update
Now that #20745 is merged, updated this.
@jorisvandenbossche a couple new warnings I think: https://travis-ci.org/pandas-dev/pandas/jobs/369977719#L2762

```

```

Can you see if they're easy to fix?
lgtm, other than @TomAugspurger comments.
lgtm. modulo any warnings fixes. note that I just pushed a CI fix for lint (on other PR)
Thanks @jorisvandenbossche 
I was doing scipy.fftpack.fft over a series and it showed error as
Attriute error: Series object has no attribute flags.

What should I use instead? And how to overcome it?
