render() throws error

@mgierdal what OS are you running your Jupyter notebook on? As a side note, currently ‘view()’ is fully supported only Linux and OSX. If you could try using another environment, I suggest Google Colab notebooks (https://colab.research.google.com/).

@mgierdal You could also try just returning the result of the graph traversal : g.v().tag("from").out("follows").tag("to").all()

and then visualize it on cogdb.io > visualization tab.

It's running on cygwin, which enables Unix-like environment on Windows. It's really very rare to encounter incompatibilities. Effectively cog is NOT running on Windows.

Using Colab notebooks or visualization tab is out of question, unfortunately. While I wasn't to "shoot tanks" with cogdb, I intended to put it to small scale, but serious use.

Out of curiosity, what are the main issues preventing from using it under actual Windows?

It looks like the error occurs when using 'render()' which depends on IPython's display module - perhaps there is some incompatibly. You could still see the visualization without using render. You can get the location of the html view file using this: g.v().tag("from").out("follows").tag("to").view("follows").url

And view the html file containing the graph visualization using a web browser.

@mgierdal There is nothing preventing it from running on Windows but currently there is no testing done in Windows environment. In theory everything should work just fine on Windows in standard Python. The only exception to that is the 'render' function which is meant to display graph visualizations directly in an IPython notebook.
