No module named ipykernel.comm

Hi,

I am getting an ImportError when I try to use the bokeh.charts.Bar or Line methods in a Jupyter notebook.

It actually displays the plot properly, but then the ImportError pops up.

I am on IPython 3.2.0 I believe.

Any idea what might be going wrong?

Hi Adrian,

Not doing anything wrong, but I guess IPython 3.2 is too old for the new notebook comms feature. There might be a way to make it work on older versions, but it's unlikely that supporting that one feature for older IPython can be ascribed a high priority. The quickest solution would just be to wrap the code in the last backtrace frame at the bottom in a try...except block, and return None if there is an import error. I think that would suffice to have everything except notebooks comms work on older IPython. Can you try that out / submit a PR? I don't have an older IPython set up, and it would be much more efficient for someone who already do have to test it out.

Thanks,

Bryan

Thanks Bryan, I will look at migrating to a newer version of IPython.
