Time series forecasting in Python

Hi,
I am reading this time series article
https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/blog/2016/02/time-series-forecasting-codes-python/
I got struck in executing this line of code

data = pd.read_csv('AirPassengers.csv', parse_dates='Month', index_col='Month',date_parser=dateparse)

I am getting the error as follows

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)
<ipython-input-5-dea51b569cba> in <module>()
      1 dateparse = lambda dates: pd.datetime.strptime(dates, '%Y-%m')
----> 2 data = pd.read_csv('AirPassengers.csv', parse_dates='Month', index_col='Month',date_parser=dateparse)
      3 print data.head()

Kindly help me solve the problem.Thanks
