Seaborn AttributeError: module 'seaborn' has no attribute 'displot' AND conda Solving environment fail

Question

As per seaborn documentation here seaborn.distplot() has been deprecated with the forward going supported plots being: seaborn.displot() and seaborn.histplot().

However, when I try to use either of displot() or histplot() I get the following Attribute error:

AttributeError: module 'seaborn' has no attribute 'displot'

Note I can succesfully run seaborn.jointplot() and various others.

I found this SO post Module Seaborn has no attribute '' but that doesn't seem to be the solution to my issue.

I have seaborn version 0.10.1 installed on my MacOS version 10.15.5 (19F101)

I had seaborn 0.9.0 earlier today and was having the same problem so I deleted my Anaconda distribution using the App Cleaner & Uninstaller app and re-installed. Now I have seaborn version 0.10.1.

Shouldn't a fresh install of Anaconda take care of all dependencies and requirements?

See below screenshot of Attribute error. Any ideas what is going on?

UPDATE:

It seems the above plots are only recently available starting in seaborn 0.11.0. So I am trying to install the new seaborn via: conda install seaborn==0.11.0 but it seems something is wrong with conda and or the channels. It tries to solve the environment but its in a never ending loop. I kill the process and try again and same thing.

(base)MacBook-Air:$ conda install seaborn==0.11.0
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: / 

Note: conda update seaborn --yes complained with the following (below) so I am installing a specific version using conda install seaborn==0.11.0 but as explained above that never returns from the death loop.

Updating seaborn is constricted by 

anaconda -> requires seaborn==0.10.1=py_0
If you are sure you want an update of your package either try `conda update --all` or install a specific version of the package you want using `conda install <pkg>=<version>`

UPDATE2:

I was able to install seaborn 0.11.0 only by using conda update --all. Trying to install the individual package resulted in a Solving environment forever loop. No idea why that is.

Answer 1

Try installing with pip:

pip install seaborn==0.11.0

Answer 2

displot() has been introduced in Seaborn v0.11.0, see the changelog: https://seaborn.pydata.org/whatsnew.htmlhttps://seaborn.pydata.org/whatsnew.htmlhttps://seaborn.pydata.org/whatsnew.html

From your code, you are importing v0.10.1.
