Description of expected behavior and the observed behavior

When updating to the latest dask version hvplot breaks due to an unresolved attribute error.

Complete, minimal, self-contained example code that reproduces the issue

• I may be interested in making a pull request to address this

[hoxbro]

This is because dask removed dask.dataframe.core.DataFrame in the 2025.1 release without any deprecation warning.

We will release a new version of Datashader soon to fix the problem (holoviz/datashader#1390). Until then, please downgrade dask to 2024.12.

[monodera]

Thanks for the comment. In my case, the error is raised by imports in hvplot, and I see they have already been aware of it. I downgraded dask to 2024.12.1 and it worked.

[maximlt]

@hoxbro do you have an estimate for when datashader is going to be released?

[hoxbro]

today

[hoxbro]

Datashader 0.17.0 has been released.

[FlorisCalkoen]

Meh.. I now run into a very similar issue (seems to be related to spatialpandas now). @hoxbro, have you seen this as welll? And would you like me to open a separate issue?

[hoxbro]

Same issues as holoviz/spatialpandas#169. In short, the current release of spatialpandas does not support Dask 2025.1. This means the code goes into a bad code path, resulting in this error.

I have started working to support spatialpandas at holoviz/spatialpandas#171. You can try to give it a run with conda install spatialpandas=0.5.0a3 -c pyviz/label/dev
