Offline Bubble Chart Using Cufflinks Shows All Bubbles in One Color

[pybokeh]

Hello, I am using plotly.py version 1.9.7 and cufflinks version 0.7.2. When making a bubble chart, all the bubbles are the same color when I expect plotly to use different or alternating colors. Below is my code for creating offline bubble chart using cufflinks:

import pandas as pd
from plotly.offline import download_plotlyjs, init_notebook_mode, iplot
import cufflinks as cf
init_notebook_mode()


df = pd.read_csv('http://www.stat.ubc.ca/~jenny/notOcto/STAT545A/examples/gapminder/data/gapminderDataFiveYear.txt', sep='\t')
df2007 = df[df.year==2007]

iplot(df2007.iplot(asFigure=True, kind='bubble', x='gdpPercap', y='lifeExp', size='pop', text='country',
             xTitle='GDP per Capita', yTitle='Life Expectancy', dimensions=(800,600)))

When I output the data/layout data, it shows that all the bubbles are indeed given one color "rgb(255, 153, 51)". I can get the data and layout data by running this:

df2007.iplot(asFigure=True, kind='bubble', x='gdpPercap', y='lifeExp', size='pop', text='country',
         xTitle='GDP per Capita', yTitle='Life Expectancy', dimensions=(800,600))

The output is rather large, so I only paste a portion of it:
{'data': [{'marker': {'color': ['rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
'rgb(255, 153, 51)',
...
'layout': {'height': 600,
'legend': {'bgcolor': '#F5F6F9', 'font': {'color': '#4D5663'}},
'paper_bgcolor': '#F5F6F9',
'plot_bgcolor': '#F5F6F9',
'titlefont': {'color': '#4D5663'},
'width': 800,
'xaxis1': {'gridcolor': '#E1E5ED',
'showgrid': True,
'tickfont': {'color': '#4D5663'},
'title': 'GDP per Capita',
'titlefont': {'color': '#4D5663'},
'zerolinecolor': '#E1E5ED'},
'yaxis1': {'gridcolor': '#E1E5ED',
'showgrid': True,
'tickfont': {'color': '#4D5663'},
'title': 'Life Expectancy',
'titlefont': {'color': '#4D5663'},
'zerolinecolor': '#E1E5ED'}}}

So for some reason, plotly gives all 142 markers/bubbles just one color "rgb(255, 153, 51)". Is there a way to tell plotly to change the colors for each bubble? Perhaps this is problem on cufflinks side?
