Turicreate: Image not show on Google Colab Jupyter Notebook

[ancs21]

Runtime:

• Python 3.6.7
• Google Colab Jupyter Notebook
• Turicreate 5.2.1

@ancs21 - Using your code in Python 3.6 with a local instance of Jupyter Notebook, the image gets displayed fine for me. Could you please tell us the values you get for the following two expressions:
1 - tc.visualization._plot._target
2 - get_ipython().__class__.__name__

[ancs21]

Hello @TobyRoseman

The values two expressions run on Google Colab Jupyter Notebook:
1 - 'auto'
2 - 'Shell'

Thanks.

[TobyRoseman]

Thanks @ancs21. The second expression seems to be what is causing this issue.

Looking at the code we expect this values to be "ZMQInteractiveShell".

[ancs21]

I understand. Many thanks @TobyRoseman

Fix this issues with code: get_ipython().__class__.__name__ = "ZMQInteractiveShell"

Check again:

Reopening; we should fix this in Turi Create itself so users don't need the workaround.
