UnicodeDecodeError in Dash app example

Dash Python
1

Hi, everyone. :wave:

I’m having troubles trying to use the Dash API for the first time. I looked for some tutoriais to try some ideias, but, oddly, I found an error that doesn’t make any sense for me. For the sake of science, I tried the example code “Hello Dash” and I got the same issue.

I tried different codes, python interpreters, but all them get the same “UnicodeDecodeError: ‘utf-8’ codec can’t decode byte 0xf3 in position 5: invalid continuation byte”. There is a similar topic in this forum talking about a split function, but I don’t get what should I do to fix that.

By the way, if I tried to use only the plotly library in a python code, I get the same problem. But, if I do the same thing in a python notebook, it works (just the plotly). So, I guess it could be a problem generation the server (???).

Any ideias? I would appreciate any help.

Code:

# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

# Run this app with `python app.py` and
# visit http://127.0.0.1:8050/ in your web browser.

import dash
import dash_core_components as dcc
import dash_html_components as html
import plotly.express as px
import pandas as pd

external_stylesheets = ['https://codepen.io/chriddyp/pen/bWLwgP.css']

app = dash.Dash(__name__, external_stylesheets=external_stylesheets)

# assume you have a "long-form" data frame
# see https://plotly.com/python/px-arguments/ for more options
df = pd.DataFrame({
    "Fruit": ["Apples", "Oranges", "Bananas", "Apples", "Oranges", "Bananas"],
    "Amount": [4, 1, 2, 2, 4, 5],
    "City": ["SF", "SF", "SF", "Montreal", "Montreal", "Montreal"]
})

fig = px.bar(df, x="Fruit", y="Amount", color="City", barmode="group")

app.layout = html.Div(children=[
    html.H1(children='Hello Dash'),

    html.Div(children='''
        Dash: A web application framework for Python.
    '''),

    dcc.Graph(
        id='example-graph',
        figure=fig
    )
])

if __name__ == '__main__':
    app.run_server(debug=True)
