ORCA Error from Windows IIS

📊 Plotly Python
1

Hello,

When using Windows IIS to deploy my Flask app using Plotly with Orca I receive the following error. This error does not happen when running the program using the VS Code editor via werkzeug. I have no idea what might be wrong or how to fix it and I do not know how to save the plotly chart to image any other way or how to access the chart via the matplotlib and save to BytesIO etc. All help appreciated!

Error occurred:

Traceback (most recent call last):

pio.write_image(fig[‘fig’], os.path.join(os.path.dirname(file), ‘static\images{}.png’).format(fig[‘title’]))

I have the exact same issue. Did you find a solution?

Thanks!

Do I need to install Python to make Orca working? I am running the following line:
I am running the following line: C:\WINDOWS\system32>orca graph “{ “data”: [{“y”: [1,2,1]}] }” -o fig.png and nothing is happening. Any idea?

Thanks
