import error

See original GitHub issue

Hi, when I try to run this classic api example:

import plotly.plotly as py
from plotly.graph_objs import *

py.sign_in("myusername", "mykey")

data = Data([
    Bar(
        x=['giraffes', 'orangutans', 'monkeys'],
        y=[20, 14, 23]
    )
])

plot_url = py.plot(data, filename='basic-bar')

I get this error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "test.py", line 1, in <module>
    import plotly.plotly as py

That was it! Have misunderstood what “–upgrade” is for, as I thought I have installed the latest stable version with “pip install plotly” anyway. Apparently the dependencies where upgraded too.

Thanks, you made my day!

I’m sorry, I don’t recall correctly what i’ve done to fix it. Have you done a pip install --upgrade plotly ?
