'super' object has no attribute '_ipython_display_'

[AlastorBloode]

I'm still learning ArcGIS, but I immediately came upon an issue while trying to get everything set up. This is from the very first tutorial, as well.

The code is very simple. It simply displays a map. 

from arcgis.gis import GIS
gis = GIS()
m = gis.map()
m

However, I'm getting an error message from this code. 

FWIW, I installed everything using pip, and I'm in the virtualenvironment that everything was installed into using a jupyter notebook and vs code. I tried it in jupyter lab, just to make sure, but I got the same error.

    956 )

AttributeError: 'super' object has no attribute '_ipython_display_'

I'm not sure how to fix it, or if it's a known bug or if I'm just making some mistake somewhere, but any help would be highly appreciated.

I also tried to do the same thing. I installed ipywidgets like the following, but I still had issues with arcgis-map-ipywidget. Apparently Jupyter Notebook introduced a breaking change, and we need to downgrade our versions. I'll link a similar github issue at the bottom. 

    install_requires=[
        'ipywidgets>=7.6.0,<8'
    ],

Thank you for sharing this - I was running into the same issue. I did a `pip uninstall ipywidgets` and then a `pip install ipywidgets==7.6.0` and restarted my notebook and no longer running into the error. (NOTE: I dont use ARGGIS Pro, my environment is native python3.9  venv with installed module arcgis==2.1.0)

Having the same issue and keen on finding a solution 🙂

When using m.embed() instead, I do not get the error above

AttributeError: 'super' object has no attribute '_ipython_display_'

but an error on the following line instead (949 as per the code above)

AttributeError: 'MapView' object has no attribute '_preview_image_display_handler'

 This issue is also discussed here: https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-online-questions/mapview-object-has-no-attribute-preview-image/...

[BengtDahlgrenStockholmGeo]

Ok so I managed to solve this issue by:

• updating ArcGis to the latest version 3.0.3, which required .NET Desktop Runtime v6.0
• cloning a new arcgispro-py3 environment (the new environment runs on Python 3.9 kernel instead of 3.7 previously in my case)

Now I have a new issue related to numpy though:

AttributeError: module 'numpy' has no attribute 'str'

[BengtDahlgrenStockholmGeo]

The Numpy error was solved by replacing instances of np.str and np.int (will be deprecated soon) in the _accessor.py file, see https://community.esri.com/t5/arcgis-pro-questions/attributeerror-module-numpy-has-no-attribute-str/....

For the m.embed() code, I think the the map should have been generated at least once before being embedded. This removed the "MapView" error for me.
