I got this error
TypeError: LayoutsMixin.container() got an unexpected keyword argument ‘key’
at line 212 but I commented out the key argument and it worked great!

What version of Streamlit are u using,

1.39 i developed this with… so an older version might break,

I used the key there to ensure you could have 2 file managers open the same time … i initialy wanted to develop something like NortonCommander / MidnightCommander in the browser but then got pulled way to another project
