Getting Nglview going in Kaggle platform

[phu004]

I am trying to get nglview going using Kaggle platform.

This is my installation code:
python -m pip install git+https://github.com/arose/nglview
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension

However when I try to run ngview, i.e.
import nglview
view = nglview.show_pdbid("3pqr")
view

It only output the message "NGLWidget()" without showing any window or error.

Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?

nglview: 2.7.7
ipywidgets: 7.6.2

browser console error track:

manager-base.js:273 Could not instantiate widget
utils.js:119 Error: Could not create a model.
at utils.js:119

Thanks in Advance!

Try to enable nglview too: jupyter-nbextension enable nglview --py --sys-prefix

I have tried that as well, unfortunately I am still getting the same error.

@phu004 Can you make the ipywdgets work?

import ipywidgets as Text
Text("HELLO")

If that does not work, I don't think your platform support it.

Thanks for replying, I got the following from executing Text("HELLO")

TypeError Traceback (most recent call last)
in
1 import ipywidgets as Text
----> 2 Text("HELLO")

TypeError: 'module' object is not callable

However executing Text.IntSlider() works

import ipywidgets as Text

My bad. import ipywidets; ipywidgets.Text("hello")

However executing Text.IntSlider() works

Did you kill/close your notebook and reopen the session after enabling nglview?

[phu004]

In kaggle, if you close the notebook session, any change you have made to the kernel (such as installed packages) are lost.

So what I did is starting a fresh notebook instance and re-do all the steps plus the "enable" line. But it doesn't seem to make any difference.

Then I am sorry not able to help. I am not familiar with the platform.
