Title:

AttributeError: 'ZMQInteractiveShell' object has no attribute 'magic' when importing vectorbt

Text:

Description:

When trying to import vectorbt in my Python environment, I encountered the following error:

AttributeError: 'ZMQInteractiveShell' object has no attribute 'magic'

This happens when running:

import vectorbt as vbt

Error Traceback:

AttributeError: 'ZMQInteractiveShell' object has no attribute 'magic'

System Information:
• OS: macOS Sequoia 15.3.2
• Python Version: 3.12
• vectorbt Version: 0.27.2
• ipykernel: 6.29.5
• Jupyter/IPython: 9.0.2

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install vectorbt in a Python 3.12 environment:

pip install vectorbt

2.	Run the following command:

import vectorbt as vbt

3.	The error occurs during import.

Expected Behavior:

vectorbt should import without raising an attribute error.

Possible Cause:
• This issue may be related to incompatibility between vectorbt and IPython/Jupyter.
• The error originates from ZMQInteractiveShell, which is used in Jupyter-based environments.

Workarounds Attempted:
• Tried running in a standard Python shell instead of Jupyter, but the issue persists.
• Verified the installed versions of IPython and vectorbt.
• Attempted reinstalling vectorbt and IPython:

pip install --upgrade vectorbt ipython

Request for Help:
• Has anyone encountered this issue before?
• Is there a specific environment setup required to run vectorbt with Python 3.12?
• Could this be an incompatibility with Jupyter, and if so, is there a recommended fix?

Any guidance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

That's an issue with quantstats, try

pip install "ipython<8.0"
pip install "nbformat>=4.2.0"

If this doesn't work, upgrade or uninstall quantstats.
