When it reaches its default value the DuplicateWidgetID error is thrown. Here’s a snippet that’s a little better, it a…

Thanks @Jonathan_Rhone , that confirms my observations and saves me from removing a lot of functions to create a minimal example. My job involves data visualization. I’d really like to have a Python library that permits both creating interactive exploration web apps and documenting findings via real-…

Is there any update on this proposed API? This is exactly what I am currently looking for.
