error in using FigureWidget() of the plotly.graph_objects

Question

I would appreciate any assistance in resolving the below issue. i have tried to find a resolution to the error messages in existing questions (e.g., Import error in plotly while using FigureWidget) but nothing has worked.

I have python code using plotly with following imports (on Mac OS):

# Import the modules
import dash
from dash import dcc, html
from flask import Flask
import dash_bootstrap_components as dbc 

and instantiation :

# Component 1
 
countfig = go.FigureWidget()

On running this I am getting an error message:

ImportError: Please install ipywidgets>=7.0.0 to use the FigureWidget class

To resolve this issue, I installed the ipywidgets package with the following pip command.

pip install ipywidgets

which returns the installation confirmation

Successfully installed ipywidgets-8.0.6

Now when I run the python code again, the error message changes to :

raise NotImplementedError("Cannot ")

NotImplementedError: Cannot

This is where i have been for over a day.I have tried a few resolutions but these lead to the same outcome.

I would appreciate greatly if someone can help me in resolving this error.
