AttributeError: module 'plotly' has no attribute 'plotly'

Question

I don't understand why this snippet of code does not work. The data is fictional, I just want to be able to make time-series visualization with plotly.

This module once worked for me in a Kaggle kernel :

Curiously, I am not able to make it work again. It says « AttributeError: module 'plotly' has no attribute 'plotly' ».

Any tips ?

raw_data = [[20,29], [30,33]]

trace_1 = go.Scatter(
    x=array_of_time, 
    y=raw_data[0],
    name = 'data_1',
    line = dict(color = '#aeb9ba'),
    opacity = 0.8

AttributeError: module 'plotly' has no attribute 'plotly'

Answer 1

Try import plotly.plotly.

I recommend giving it an alias like import plotly.plotly as plt.

Essentially in plotly.plotly, the first one is calling the plotly package and the second one after . is calling the function plotly from the package.

Edit: Please do let me know, if it worked for you or not.

Answer 2

import plotly.express as px

It's the latest update.
