Problem with PyYAML installing DASH

jgriffi · July 10, 2019, 8:33pm

Hi All,

I’m trying to pip install dash and I’m getting this error message:

Cannot uninstall ‘PyYAML’. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

I’m running python 3.7 with pip 19.0.3. Can anyone help? I need to get this sorted quickly as I’ve got a demo to prepare.

Thanks in advance

Can you paste your exact command and full error message.

Hi Damian,

Here’s what I did.

pip install dash

alexcjohnson · July 10, 2019, 9:35pm

I guess this is implying that PyYAML was installed by something other than pip? Not sure how to fix it per se, but in order to get you running quickly, can you install dash (and whatever else you need for your demo) in a virtual env?

python -m venv venv
. venv/bin/activate
pip install dash

jgriffi · July 10, 2019, 9:39pm

I thought I may have to do that. Thanks.

Damian · July 10, 2019, 9:43pm

It looks like pyyaml was installed via conda, you should update it via conda:

conda update pyyaml

Then try installing Dash via Pip.

jgriffi · July 10, 2019, 11:24pm

I tried that, same error. I created a virtual env and installed dash there. But I have a new problem. How do I sort this?

Thanks

Event was removed in Dash 0.36 https://github.com/plotly/dash/blob/master/dash/CHANGELOG.md#0360---2019-01-25

Use event properties instead, for example the n_clicks property instead of the click event

As well as dash.callback_context to know which input changed 📣 Dash Club - Dispatch #4 - Latest Dash Developments

jgriffi · July 11, 2019, 12:18pm

Thanks for responding so promptly. As I am new to Dash your help has been very much appreciated. Another question about my Event issue. As seen in the code snippet a live graph for twitter sentiment. My question is how do I implement n_clicks here?

alexcjohnson · July 11, 2019, 2:06pm

Happy to help
You can use Input('graph_update', 'n_interval') for this

jgriffi · July 11, 2019, 2:45pm

I should have really given the full code. Here it is along with my new error. Hopefully, this is final one.

import dash
from dash.dependencies import Output, Input
import dash_core_components as dcc
import dash_html_components as html
import plotly
import random
import plotly.graph_objs as go
from collections import deque
import sqlite3
import pandas as pd

app = dash.Dash(name)
app.layout = html.Div([
html.H2(‘Live Twitter Sentiment’),
dcc.Graph(id=‘live-graph’, animate=True),
dcc.Interval(id=‘graph-update’, interval=1 * 1000),
])

@app.callback(Output(‘live-graph’, ‘figure’),
[Input(‘graph_update’, ‘n_interval’)])

def update_graph_scatter():
try:
conn = sqlite3.connect(‘twitter2.db’)
c = conn.cursor()
df = pd.read_sql(“SELECT * FROM sentiment WHERE tweet LIKE ‘%wimbledon%’ ORDER BY unix DESC LIMIT 1000”, conn)
df.sort_values(‘unix’, inplace=True)
df[‘sentiment_smoothed’] = df[‘sentiment’].rolling(int(len(df)/5)).mean()
df.dropna(inplace=True)

    X = df.unix.values[-100:]
    Y = df.sentiment_smoothed.values[-100:]
    
    data_1 = plotly.graph_objs.Scatter(x = X,
                                       y = Y,
                                       name = 'Scatter',

                                                 yaxis = dict(range = [min(Y), max(Y)]),)}

alexcjohnson · July 12, 2019, 1:23pm

ugh we really need to fix that bug https://github.com/plotly/dash/issues/791

We’ve detected an error in the callback definition but this bug prevents us from telling you what it is!

I see two issues here:

be careful about _ and - in graph-update vs graph_update (I think this is the one throwing the broken error)
every input (or state but you don’t have state) needs a corresponding arg in your callback, even if you aren’t going to use it. So def update_graph_scatter(n):

jgriffi · July 15, 2019, 2:02pm

Yes I do have def update_graph_scatter(n): after the callback or am I missing something else.

app = dash.Dash( name )
app.layout = html.Div([
html.H2(‘Live Twitter Sentiment’),
dcc.Graph(id=‘live-graph’, animate=True),
dcc.Interval(id=‘graph-update’, interval=1 * 1000),
])

@app.callback(Output(‘live-graph’, ‘figure’),
[Input(‘graph-update’, ‘interval’)])

def update_graph_scatter():
try:
conn = sqlite3.connect(‘twitter2.db’)
c = conn.cursor()
df = pd.read_sql(“SELECT * FROM sentiment WHERE tweet LIKE ‘%wimbledon%’ ORDER BY unix DESC LIMIT 1000”, conn)
df.sort_values(‘unix’, inplace=True)
df[‘sentiment_smoothed’] = df[‘sentiment’].rolling(int(len(df)/5)).mean()
df.dropna(inplace=True)

    X = df.unix.values[-100:]
    Y = df.sentiment_smoothed.values[-100:]
    
    data_1 = plotly.graph_objs.Scatter(x = X,
                                       y = Y,
                                       name = 'Scatter',
                                       mode = 'line+markers')
    
    return {'data': [data_1], 'layout': go.Layout(xaxis = dict(range = [min(X), max(X)]),
                                                 yaxis = dict(range = [min(Y), max(Y)]),)}

except Exception as e:
    with open('errors.txt', 'a') as f:
        f.write(str(e))
        f.write('\n')

if name == ‘main’:
app.run_server(debug=False)

jgriffi · July 15, 2019, 2:03pm

I apologise for the formatting.

alexcjohnson · July 15, 2019, 8:05pm

@jgriffi try upgrading to dash v1.0.2 📣 Dash 1.0.2 released - it should fix the “‘Div’ object has no attribute ‘keys’” problem and give you a more helpful error message about what needs fixing in the callback.

David22 · August 7, 2019, 10:29pm

I have the same issue. Stuck with dash 0.43,
pip install dash==1.1.1 results in:

Installing collected packages: PyYAML, dash-core-components, dash-html-components, dash-renderer, dash-table, dash
Found existing installation: PyYAML 3.13
Cannot uninstall ‘PyYAML’. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

David22 · August 7, 2019, 10:46pm

Error message was:

Cannot uninstall ‘PyYAML’. It is a distutils installed project and thus we cannot accurately determine which files belong to it which would lead to only a partial uninstall.

I fixed executing this in the conda prompt:
pip install --ignore-installed PyYAML==5.1.2

It installed PyYAML 5.1.2

And after that pip install dash==1.1.1 worked fine
