Python: AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute 'keys'

Question

I want to make country map from code:

import chart_studio.plotly as py
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('MS.csv')

data = [ dict(
       type = 'choropleth',
       locations = df['CODE'],
       z = df['MS'],
       text = df['COUNTRY'],
       colorscale = [[0,"rgb(5, 10, 172)"],[0.35,"rgb(40, 60, 190)"],[0.5,"rgb(70, 100, 245)"],\
           [0.6,"rgb(00, 120, 245)"],[0.7,"rgb(06, 130, 247)"],[1,"rgb(255, 255, 259)"]],
       autocolorscale = False,
       reversescale = True,
       marker = dict(
           line = dict (
               color = 'rgb(180,180,180)',
               width = 0.5
           ) ),
       colorbar = dict(
           autotick = False,
           tickprefix = None,
           title = 'ASes'),
     ) ]

layout = dict(
   title = 'MS COUNTRY',
   geo = dict(
       showframe = False,
       showcoastlines = False,
       projection = dict(
           type = 'Mercator'
       )
   )
)

fig = dict( data=data, layout=layout )
py.plot( fig, validate=False, filename='d3-world-map' )

This produces a fine map with Python 3 but when I run on spyder Anaconda It is giving error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

How can I solve this?

Without a proper data sample and complete knowledge of your data, it's hard to know what's the cause of the error. But with newer versions of plotly you should be able to show plotly figures in Spyder with examples like the one below. Try that, see if it works, and tell us what you find out.

Version info:

Python 3.7.0
Spyder 3.3.1
Plotly 4.2.0

Code:

import plotly.graph_objects as go
import pandas as pd

df = pd.read_csv('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/plotly/datasets/master/2014_world_gdp_with_codes.csv')

fig = go.Figure(data=go.Choropleth(
    locations = df['CODE'],
    z = df['GDP (BILLIONS)'],
    text = df['COUNTRY'],
    colorscale = 'Blues',
    autocolorscale=False,
    reversescale=True,
    marker_line_color='darkgray',
    marker_line_width=0.5,
    colorbar_tickprefix = '$',
    colorbar_title = 'GDP<br>Billions US$',
))

fig.update_layout(
    title_text='2014 Global GDP',
    geo=dict(
        showframe=False,
        showcoastlines=False,
        projection_type='equirectangular'
    ),
    annotations = [dict(
        x=0.55,
        y=0.1,
        xref='paper',
        yref='paper',
        text='Source: <a href="https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/fields/2195.html">\
            CIA World Factbook</a>',
        showarrow = False
    )]
)

fig.show()
