import error about plotly.py

[cyber42]

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 ?

Hi i am new to using mac and trying to install plotly on mac using python 2.7.

Still i am getting import error as follows:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "", line 1, in
ImportError: No module named plotly

thanks for help.

I have the same issue, but reinstalling plotly doesn't help. Did you only reinstall plotly or more pakages?

My stacktrace:

I'm also on 2.7.5+ Python but on Ubuntu 13.

have you properly installed all dependencies ?

The User Guide assumes:
The lastest version of Plotly's Python package (see step 3 )
Python version 2.7.5+ or 2.7.6 with
numpy (version 1.8.1), for all sections
pandas (version 0.13.1), for sections 3, 5 and 7.3
scipy (version 0.13.3), for section 4 and 7
matplotlib (version 1.3.1), for section 6
IPython version 2.0.0

Good point, for importing I guess we only need numpy and pandas. Seem to have proper versions there (below). Did you reinstall all of them or only plotly?
