jsonschema.exceptions._RefResolutionError while trying to use line charts, bar charts or area charts

[Aditya_Nair]

Summary

Hi, I’m not able to use these particular charts and even the documentation of streamlit is not showing up for some reason. Any reason why just these aren’t working? I’ve been using the example code snippets from the documentation and it’s resulting in the error given in the subject line.

Steps to reproduce

Code snippet:

import streamlit as st
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np


st.write("Hello world")
chart_data = pd.DataFrame(
    np.random.randn(20, 2),
    columns=["a", "c"])

st.bar_chart(chart_data)

If applicable, please provide the steps we should take to reproduce the error or specified behavior.

Expected behavior:
Expect to see a Hello World followed by the bar graph

Actual behavior:

Hello World prints out and is followed by an error.
The error that comes up is:

_RefResolutionError: ‘bytes’ object has no attribute ‘timeout’

Hi @Aditya_Nair,

I wasn’t able to reproduce this error when I ran your code. This is what I see when I run the app locally:

Can you share a full list of the packages that are installed in your environment (if you’re using pip, you can do so by entering pip list in the command line)? Can you also confirm that you’re running your app by entering streamlit run <name of your Python file>?

I just found this post because I ran into the exact same error. I updated altair to 5.0.1 and jsonschema to 4.18.1 and it fixed my issue. Apparently tied to this bug: After updating to 4.18.1 earlier code fails with `jsonschema.exceptions._RefResolutionError: 'bytes' object has no attribute 'timeout'` · Issue #1124 · python-jsonschema/jsonschema · GitHub
