To_image() OR write_image() error

plotly.js
1

to_image() function generates error:

img_bytes = fig.to_image(format=“png”, width=600, height=350, scale=2)
Traceback (most recent call last):
File “”, line 1, in

This is probably related to OS localization - on another PC works well.
This code will work:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure(data=go.Bar(y=[2, 3, 1]))
fig.show()

This code will not:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
fig = go.Figure(data=go.Bar(y=[2, 3, 1]))
img_bytes = fig.to_image(format=“png”, width=600, height=350, scale=2)

Same with
fig.write_image(“c:/temp/fig1.jpeg”)
