Unable to export plotly image with kaleido (self.pythonhelp)

submitted 1 year ago by breadcrumb to c/pythonhelp

3 comments fedilink hide all child comments

Hi, I'm trying to save a plotly image as a static .svg file using kaleido. I have kaleido-0.2.1 installed, but when I run this code on jupyter: fig1.write_image("../figures/supp1A.svg", format="svg", engine="kaleido")
I get this error:

ValueError: 
Image export using the "kaleido" engine requires the kaleido package,
which can be installed using pip:
    $ pip install -U kaleido

Why does this happens even tho kaleido is installed?

I've used jupyter, but not extensively. Maybe this can help?

Unfortunatly I'm not using any virtual environments, the packages are installed system-wide and I checked that the python version where the package is installed matched the one used by jupyter. Also, installing from jupyter didn't work either :/

Here is something where apparently downgrading Kaleido helped. Apparently on Windows if that helps. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69016568/unable-to-export-plotly-images-to-png-with-kaleido

Otherwise if you are on Linux I do sometimes have to run pip via sudo to get things to show up in the path, although it may not be advisable to do so.
