Missing Data Plotly Express px.data

In the example from here

https://plotly.com/python/px-arguments/#plotly-express-works-with--long-wide-and-mixedform-data

there is only one line for data import: wide_df = px.data.medals_wide()

I tried on my Python via Anaconda and get this Traceback: AttributeError: module ‘plotly.express.data’ has no attribute ‘medals_wide’

I just tried this code:

for name in dir(px.data):
    if '__' not in name:
        print(name)

and get

absolute_import
carshare
election
election_geojson
gapminder
iris
tips
wind

based on the result I miss a few data including the medals one, then I tried to re-install Plotly and Plotly Express under Anaconda Prompt but the problem persists

Successfully installed plotly-express-0.4.1

when I tried pip install plotly to update in case I get

Requirement already satisfied: plotly in c:\users\ appdata\roaming\python\python37\site-packages (4.7.1)
Requirement already satisfied: retrying>=1.3.3 in c:\users\ appdata\roaming\python\python37\site-packages (from plotly) (1.3.3)
Requirement already satisfied: six in c:\users\\anaconda3\lib\site-packages (from plotly) (1.14.0)

Thanks

Solution

  • It will be available if you update to Plotly version 4.14.

    Check your current version with:

    import plotly
plotly.__version__

    And if necessary run:

    pip install plotly==4.14.3
