This is because a file named "logging.conf" miss from pypi. You could install this package from source, for my laptop Mac HighSierra(10.13.3), I run

cd ~/python_package_from_src pip install -e git+https://github.com/litaotao/IPython-Dashboard.git#egg=dashboard

However, you would run into another issue NoSectionError: No section: 'formatters'

This is due to logging.config.fileConfig use relative path

import os BASE_DIR=os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file))) logging.config.fileConfig(os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'conf', 'logging.conf')) #logging.config.fileConfig('dashboard/conf/logging.conf')

Use this one should help you successfully import this dashboard module
