Python Visualization Fails to start

[Grinshpun]

Mr. Mabey

My original problem has come back after I used the "gensim_speed" branch variation of the bug fix for 1.3.1. The original problem #33 that you closed last week appears to be deeper than originally thought. I an running Win 10, Python 3.4.3.6, and pyLDAvis 1.3.1 with the gensim_speed correction. I used the ipython -i at the commend prompt to enter the intractive mode, loaded the model and and ran prepare, and got the same printout as it was in #33 . PFA the screenshots with the problem. I suspect I'm doing something wrong - but I have no idea what can it possibly be, since I'm only running the simplest commands.

Thanks
Vadim

As I said in #33 you need to be using the IPython notebook if you want to display the visualization inline. It will not work with the IPython shell or QT frontends since the viz requires javascript and CSS. Start up ipython with ipython notebook and run your same commands to see the visualization.

Alternatively, if you don't want to use IPython notebook you can have pyLDAvis start up a webserver with the show function that I also mentioned in #33:

vis_data = pyLDAvis.gensim.prepare(lda, corpus, dictionary)
pyLDAvis.show(vis_data)
