Change linewidth in python plotly px figure

I'm unclear how to style a line in a plotly express figure, altering color and width. The plotly documentation offers suggestions to style lines using go, but I do not see information for px.

Example

import plotly.express as px

df = px.data.gapminder().query("continent=='Oceania'")
fig = px.line(df, x="year", y="lifeExp", color='country')
fig.show()

I tried putting line=dict(color='firebrick', width=4) as an argument of px.line but that throws the error line() got an unexpected keyword argument 'line' as it is code for go rather than px.

Plotly px line styles can be updated with update_traces function see documentation for further information. The following example modifies the prior figure making all of the lines black and thin.

import plotly.express as px

df = px.data.gapminder().query("continent=='Oceania'")
fig = px.line(df, x="year", y="lifeExp", color='country')

# This styles the line
fig.update_traces(line=dict(color="Black", width=0.5))

fig.show()
