Hey @amit_kumar_thakur

Welcome to the Streamlit community :tada:: streamlit:

Currently streamlit supports Python >=3.6 but you are using Python 3.5. Consider upgrading it and it should work fine afterwards.

Also on streamlit cloud the Python versions that are available are 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 so I would suggest using one of those as it would increase the chances of your app running fine on the cloud as well.

Best,
Kanak

Adding to @Kanak 's answer…I suspect the issue is that the last time Streamlit supported Python 3.5, the themeing functionality wasn’t available. So when you install Streamlit, it installs an older version. Upgrading to Python >= 3.6 and validating a more recent version of Streamlit (> 1.0) should make things work correctly.

Best,
Randy
