hiplot command not working on windows

[saratbhargava]

Hi,

I installed hiplot on windows machine using poetry. I am not able to run the hiplot from command line in my python virtual environment.

C:\Users\sarat.chinni\Codes_sequencing\hiplot>hiplot
'hiplot' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

I have added .py extension to hiplot function in my virtual environment Scripts folder then I got the following error:

C:\Users\sarat.chinni\Codes_sequencing\hiplot>hiplot
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\sarat.chinni\Codes_sequencing\biobench\sandbox\Sarat\supervised_sequencing\.venv\Scripts\hiplot.py", line 6, in <module>
    sys.exit(hip.run_server_main())
AttributeError: module 'hiplot' has no attribute 'run_server_main'

How can I solve this issue on windows? (I am able to install and hiplot in my linux machine and it worked properly)

Thank you

Hello @saratbhargava and thank you for your report 👍

I will investigate what is happening on windows later, but on the meantime you should be able to run hiplot server using python -m hiplot as well.
If you have an error like AttributeError: module 'hiplot' has no attribute XXX, make sure that you don't have a folder named hiplot (or a hiplot.py file) as it will be imported rather than the hiplot package you installed.

I hope this helps

Thanks a lot, python -m hiplot has worked. I think windows doesn't read the hashbang line to execute it with just hiplot So its not using the right interpret.

Hi !

I have the same issue with Hiplot on Anaconda.
Do you have a workaround about hiplot-render ?

Thanks !

[danthe3rd]

Does hiplot.py or hiplot-render.py work for you?

[Hirisar]

python -m hiplot runs well because python takes the server in the file __main__.py.

Otherwise, there are no files hiplot.py and hiplot-render.py in the conda package :(

[danthe3rd]

I just pushed a new RC version to pip, can you try to install it (pip install hiplot==0.1.23rc119) and let me know if hiplot and hiplot-render work?

[Hirisar]

I can't install it.
Do you have the tar.bz2 file for Anaconda ?

Thank you for the time given !

[danthe3rd]

Hum right we don't have release-candidate channels for anaconda... It will work on the next release.
In between, you can use the python API as a workaround. To convert data.csv, you can do:

python -c "import hiplot; hiplot.Experiment.from_csv('data.csv').to_html('rendered.html')"

[danthe3rd]

This should be fixed in the latest version just released (0.1.23). Let me know if hiplot command still doesn't work after the update on windows.

[Hirisar]

It doesn't solve my problem.
How do you execute Hiplot and hiplot-render with Anaconda prompt ?
