UnhashableTypeError: Cannot hash object of type _thread.lock, found in the arguments of get_price()

Hi, I’m trying to build a web-app to monitor my financial portfolio and I get the last update on the stock prices using a custom function (get_price()).
Since I want to plot a chart that can vary without re-run again everything just changing the security name in the sidebar I need to cache (or at least I think I need) the function to retrieve the prices and in doing it I get this error.
UnhashableTypeError : Cannot hash object of type _thread.lock , found in the arguments of get_price()

The function structure:

@st.cache(suppress_st_warning=False,allow_output_mutation=True) # to cache the function and not re-execute it again
def get_price(driver: webdriver.chrome.webdriver.WebDriver, source: str, ticker: str):
    """
    Retrieve the last prices from a specified web-source
    :param driver: the Google Chrome webdriver object to perform the search
    :param source: the web-source of the price (supported are: Investing.com, Borsa Italiana, Yahoo finance)
    :param tickers: a list of the tickers of the instruments to monitor
    :return last_price: the updated price of the security
    """

How can I overcome the error?

The entire error is:


UnhashableTypeError: Cannot hash object of type _thread.lock, found in the arguments of get_price().

While caching the arguments of get_price(), Streamlit encountered an object of type _thread.lock, which it does not know how to hash.

To address this, please try helping Streamlit understand how to hash that type by passing the hash_funcs argument into @st.cache. For example:


@st.cache(hash_funcs={_thread.lock: my_hash_func})
def my_func(...):
    ...
If you don't know where the object of type _thread.lock is coming from, try looking at the hash chain below for an object that you do recognize, then pass that to hash_funcs instead:

Two suggestions:

  1. Use st.experimental_memo - Streamlit Docs instead of the soon-to-be-deprecated st.cache
  2. Don’t pass in the driver unless you have to, as that’s a bit of a weird input to cache. It may work with experimental_memo, but if it doesn’t I would try having the driver be a global object (at least relative to the function) so that you don’t have to pass it in.

Thanks!
It solved the issue, great!
