  • If the ipython package is installed in the environment, the default renderer (pio.renderers.default) is set to "plotly_mimetype+notebook" even when running in a normal Python script.
  • This causes undesirable behavior for fig.show(): Calling fig.show() causes HTML/Javascript output to be printed to the terminal, rather than launching a browser window to show the plot.
  • If jupyter / anywidget are NOT installed, then pio.renderers.default is set to "browser", as it should be, and fig.show() behaves normally.
