Seaborn AttributeError: module 'seaborn' has no attribute 'displot' AND conda Solving environment fail

Question

As per seaborn documentation here seaborn.distplot() has been deprecated with the forward going supported plots being: seaborn.displot() and seaborn.histplot().

However, when I try to use either of displot() or histplot() I get the following Attribute error:

AttributeError: module 'seaborn' has no attribute 'displot'

Note I can succesfully run seaborn.jointplot() and various others.

I found this SO post Module Seaborn has no attribute '' but that doesn't seem to be the solution to my issue.

I have seaborn version 0.10.1 installed on my MacOS version 10.15.5 (19F101)

I had seaborn 0.9.0 earlier today and was having the same problem so I deleted my Anaconda distribution using the App Cleaner & Uninstaller app and re-installed. Now I have seaborn version 0.10.1.

Shouldn't a fresh install of Anaconda take care of all dependencies and requirements?

See below screenshot of Attribute error. Any ideas what is going on?

UPDATE:

It seems the above plots are only recently available starting in seaborn 0.11.0. So I am trying to install the new seaborn via: conda install seaborn==0.11.0 but it seems something is wrong with conda and or the channels. It tries to solve the environment but its in a never ending loop. I kill the process and try again and same thing.

(base)MacBook-Air:$ conda install seaborn==0.11.0
Collecting package metadata (current_repodata.json): done
Solving environment: failed with initial frozen solve. Retrying with flexible solve.
Solving environment: / 

Note: conda update seaborn --yes complained with the following (below) so I am installing a specific version using conda install seaborn==0.11.0 but as explained above that never returns from the death loop.

Updating seaborn is constricted by 

anaconda -> requires seaborn==0.10.1=py_0
If you are sure you want an update of your package either try `conda update --all` or install a specific version of the package you want using `conda install <pkg>=<version>`

UPDATE2:

I was able to install seaborn 0.11.0 only by using conda update --all. Trying to install the individual package resulted in a Solving environment forever loop. No idea why that is.

Solution 1

displot() has been introduced in Seaborn v0.11.0, see the changelog: https://seaborn.pydata.org/whatsnew.htmlhttps://seaborn.pydata.org/whatsnew.htmlhttps://seaborn.pydata.org/whatsnew.html

From your code, you are importing v0.10.1.

Solution 2

Try installing with pip:

pip install seaborn==0.11.0

You have 0.10 latest is 0.11. conda update seaborn --yes

I tried yet still having problems. See updated post for details please.

Seems there is a problem with conda.

I am a bit confused. what plot are you trying to make? Distplot obvious need a column name. Also, displot and histplot are introduced in 0.11.0, so you can't use them 0.10.0. distplot should work fine if you continue to use 0.10.0. See this answer if you want help plotting a distplot.

I was trying to use displot and histplot but @venky__ pointed out that I needed 0.11.0. So now I have been trying to install that version of Seaborn but now as you see in my updated section of the post am running into conda problems trying to install a specific package. I just now got it to work by doing a conda update ---all. Otherwise trying to install a specific package was not working. Conda is too flakey. I get many mysterious problems like this all the time.

See updated post. I am trying to install v0.11.0 but having problems.

Seaborn gets installed, however the above issue still persists.
