Plotly AttributeError: 'Figure' object has no attribute 'show'

Question

I'm trying to use Plotly to do a Displot for the returns for Apple stock in the past year.

import plotly.figure_factory as ff

hist_data = [df['Return'][1:]] 
group_labels = ['Apple Return distplot'] 

fig = ff.create_distplot(hist_data, group_labels, bin_size=.1)
fig.show()

And I got the following error message:

AttributeError: 'Figure' object has no attribute 'show'

How can I resolve the above issue?

What version of plotly are you using? Can you show us the output of print(plotly.__file__)? — John Gordon

@JohnGordon I got this message: /Users/jacquelinewong/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/plotly/__init__.py — tainangao

They have totally destroyed plotly. Nothing works for me too. — Dimanjan

If you're seeing this error, then you're using a version of plotly lower than 4.x and you will need to upgrade. I recommended upgrading to the latest version, which is 4.1.1

I upgraded to 4.1.1 but still got this message

ImportError:  The plotly.plotly module is deprecated, please install the chart-studio package and use the chart_studio.plotly module instead.

Yes, this is correct. Are you also importing from plotly.plotly? With version 4 this package moved, but it’s also no longer needed, specifically because fig.show() is the better way to show figures.

Is there any workaround, for those who cannot upgrade their plotly version?

This worked for me

!pip install plotly==4.1.1

from plotly import graph_objs as go
