Jupyter-themes: jupyterthemes installs with no themes

[droberts01]

I've installed jupyterthemes using

pip install jupyterthemes.

When I run jt -l, I get no themes - the list of themes is empty!!:

user$ jt -l
Available Themes: 

user$ jt -t chesterish
Didn't recognize theme name: chesterish
Available Themes: 

user$ 

I tried to trace the source of this curious behavior. I looked back at the output that I got when I installed jupyterthemes:

user$ pip install jupyterthemes

However, when I visit my anaconda2 directory under /Users/username/, I see that

/Users/username/anaconda2/python2.7/lib/site-packages/jupyterthemes/fonts

exists. furthermore, the folder /Users/username/anaconda2/python2.7/lib/site-packages/jupyterthemes seems to have all of the contents intact. I haven't checked *.js, but I assume a similar contradition may be derived by looking through my file system.

[dunovank]

Do you have multiple versions of python installed through anaconda? or multiple environments (i.e., named py2 and py3, for instance)? If so, you may have to install jupyterthemes for each separately.

# assuming terminal is opened with default env already activated
pip install --upgrade jupyterthemes

then...

source activate py3
pip install --upgrade jupyterthemes

[droberts01]

Based on the following output, I don't think I have multiple versions of python installed, _but I could be wrong_:

USER$ source activate py3

CondaEnvironmentNotFoundError: Could not find environment: py3 .
You can list all discoverable environments with `conda info --envs`.

USER$ conda info --envs
# conda environments:
#
root                  *  /Users/Droberts/anaconda2

USER$

Nevertheless, I tried to see if your other suggestion

pip install --upgrade jupyterthemes

had any effect, and so, after running the above, I tried listing the themes again:

USER$ jt -l
Available Themes: 

USER$

No effect. This is really mysterious...

[dunovank]

hmm.. this is weird. Yours is the first and only report I've had about this issue which leads me to think that the install is running into something unique on your machine... And you're right, it looks like you only have one env installed.

Can you execute the following lines in a jupyter notebook and paste the output here?

import jupyterthemes as jt
print(jt.package_dir)
print(jt.stylefx.styles_dir)

import os 
print(os.listdir(jt.stylefx.styles_dir))

import lesscpy
print(lesscpy.__version__)

[droberts01]

Good idea - I suspected that it might have to do with my machine - the code you gave me worked at the second line, where it printed

 /Users/Droberts/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jupyterthemes

But broke down right at the third line:

 /Users/Droberts/anaconda2/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jupyterthemes
 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 AttributeError                 Traceback (most recent call last)
 <ipython-input-1-be670b6a64f2> in <module>()
       1 import jupyterthemes as jt
       2 print(jt.package_dir)
 ----> 3 print(jt.stylefx.styles_dir)

 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'stylefx'

The two lines involving "import os" yielded a similar error:

 ----------------------------------------------------------------
 AttributeError                 Traceback (most recent call last)
 <ipython-input-4-8d80b2b8909c> in <module>()
       1 import os
 ----> 2 print(os.listdir(jt.stylefx.styles_dir))

 AttributeError: 'module' object has no attribute 'stylefx'

The last two lines of code (involving "import lesscpy") work, however, and yield the print statement

 0.12.0

[droberts01]

Any idea as to what the output was supposed to mean?
I already tried reinstalling anaconda2.

[dunovank]

Hey @droberts01 can you tell me which version of jupyterthemes you have installed? I ran into a similar issue the other day on my machine complaining about stylefx not existing. Trying to figure out the issue now.

[droberts01]

The folder containing jupyterthemes doesn't say, but there is a folder called "jupyterthemes-0.16.6-py2.7.egg-info" right under it in my anaconda "site-packages" directory. I assume that that is the version I have installed:

I should note, that in addition to

/Users/username/anaconda2/...

I also have an anaconda directory directly under root:

/anaconda/...

Shown below: it does not have jupyter themes, as you can see:

Anyways, that's probably not the source of the problem. But just want to give you as much information as possible.

[dunovank]

actually that may be an important detail.

First, can you try running pip install --upgrade jupyterthemes to see if the issue is fixed (probably not but worth a shot)?

Is there any particular reason you have two anaconda directories? It's possible jupyterthemes is getting confused either during the install or when applying theme style (although I don't know exactly how)..

[dunovank]

@droberts01 can you check if your issue is fixed by updating to v0.17.0?

pip install --upgrade jupyterthemes

[droberts01]

This was my terminal output (issue is still there, basically the jupyterthemes folder installs with key missing folders)

It seems that the key warning messages are here:

warning: no files found matching 'jupyterthemes/fonts' anywhere in distribution
warning: no files found matching '*.js' anywhere in distribution

What is the "distribution"? In what manner does the install script look for jupyterthemes, and why does it have trouble?

[dunovank]

hm... I'm made some changes to the setup.py MANIFEST to make sure the style and layout css and less files get packaged with font files. Would you mind updating again (to v0.17.3) to see if maybe that fixed it?

[droberts01]

It worked!!!

Awesome! and you can install a theme without errors?

[droberts01]

yep!

Thank you so much (this is awesome) :)
