At first I tried:

pip install python-utils

pip install utils

Then I downloaded Utils from the GitHub repository and did

Import Utils

Since after every step I kept getting errors I just pasted the Utils code in the top cell instead of

from utils import render

from IPython.display import display, Markdown

def render(md):
    return display(Markdown(md))

def make_chaos(df, sample_size, columns, fn):
    # Keep chaos the same randomly
    some = df.sample(sample_size, random_state=sample_size)
    for col in columns:
        some[col] = some[col].apply(fn)
    # Update the original DataFrame
    df.update(some)

After closing and opening my Jupyter notebook I can now also just use

from utils import render

Tested on Windows 10 + Chrome + Jupyter with full Anaconda3 and Python 38-32 installed separately

Whatever render was, it is not needed

Use PEP 498 f-strings instead

PEP 498 introduced a simpler string formatting mechanism known as Literal String Interpolation. Because of the leading f character preceding the string literal, this is more commonly called an f-string.

To create an f-string, prefix the string with the letter f. The string itself can be formatted in much the same way that you would with str.format().

F-strings provide a concise and convenient way to embed python expressions inside string literals for formatting.

Original

render("The label {} has a value of {}".format(label, value))

F-String

print(f'The label {label} has a value of {value}.')

https://pypi.org/project/python-utils/

The virtual environment or python distribution you are using does not have utils. From your terminal try pip install python-utils

This does not work for me either, after installing both "utils" and "python_utils".

I get following error messages:

"ImportError: cannot import name 'render' from 'utils' (C:\Users\Craig\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\utils_init_.py)"

"ImportError: cannot import name 'render' from 'python_utils' (C:\Users\Craig\Anaconda3\lib\site-packages\python_utils_init_.py)"

The init.py files are where they should be..

This suggestion didn't solve the issue for me, either. Has anyone been able to install utils?

Also having this issue. I did some snooping and the init.py file is completely empty! I tried installing the most recent utils version as well as the previous two, and all have the same issue. I tried copying Sebastiaan's utils code into the init file, and it did import without throwing an error, however render() is returning an object instead of a string:

<IPython.core.display.Markdown object>

Any reason I should be using render() instead of just a regular print() command? I'm testing my code on Spyder instead of Jupyter Notebooks, so there could be some differences.
