AttributeError: module 'plotext' has no attribute 'box'

Hello. I'm following your example for Box Plot implementation and am facing the following error:

line 156, in simple_box
    plt.box(
AttributeError: module 'plotext' has no attribute 'box

I've imported the module in my file and have confirmed installation. I'm using the latest plotext==5.2.8. Any ideas on why this might be happening?

Python Version: 3.10.12

Hi @coleramos425 sorry for late reply.

Try pip install git+https://github.com/piccolomo/plotext, to install the GitHub version.

should work.

Thanks. I discovered that I needed to install from the repository rather than the latest PyPi release. That fixed the issue.

@piccolomo is there an ETA for the next release? I've gotten a lot of value from the new functionality and would like to see this in the official module.

Hi @coleramos425, glad it helps.

I am will the box plot available for next version. I have been working on rebuilding next version (in spare time) from scratch and I am taking more time then expected, as I want to be happy with the code. So far I have implemented the basic matrix of plots code as well basic plot building.

There is still a long way as I need to finish all plotting tools (data points, lines, grids) and then then add all derived plots (bar plots, datetime , box plot etc). Then add docstrings, code comments and make a better documentation, possibly unit tests (as I keep on getting reminded about it). I just hope that March could be a realistic ETA. If there is any suggestions and request, now is the time.
