Plotly in Python Tool

Hi Everyone,

Has anyone tried to use the 'plotly' package in the Python tool?

I have been using it to generate a chart after prepping some data in Alteryx and once the chart has been created in the Jupyter environment, I go to any other tool in the workflow and I get this message and the whole thing freezes:

If anyone has seen anything similar or has any ideas it would be much appreciated!

@jcktwnsnd It seems to work fine for me. Are you able to share your python code or the workflow with the dataset here?

Hey, thanks for getting back to me. I've attached a simple example recreating the error.

Once I have run the cell generating the chart, everything I do in the workflow then generates the 'unhandled exception' error.

Cheers

You'll need to turn on init_notebook_mode. Add the following to your first cell:

from plotly.offline import init_notebook_mode init_notebook_mode(connected=True)

Let me know if this fixes the problem. You may need to create a new workflow.

That's done the trick, thanks!
