I am running a .ipynb notebook on a Kaggle server.

At the first code cell, when importing modules, specifically cv2_imshow from google.patches as follows,

from google.colab.patches import cv2_imshow

I get this error:

/opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/IPython/utils/traitlets.py:5: UserWarning: IPython.utils.traitlets has moved to a top-level traitlets package.
  warn("IPython.utils.traitlets has moved to a top-level traitlets package.")

AttributeError: module 'IPython.utils.traitlets' has no attribute 'Unicode'

After running

from traitlets import *

print(traitlets)

<module 'traitlets.traitlets' from '/opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/traitlets/traitlets.py'>

and re-running the problem line, to deal with the top part of the error message,

/opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/IPython/utils/traitlets.py:5: UserWarning: IPython.utils.traitlets has moved to a top-level traitlets package.
  warn("IPython.utils.traitlets has moved to a top-level traitlets package.")

This part of the error message dissappears but all else remains the same.

The warning message is saying that traitlets is now a top level package, and not still under the IPython.utils package.

You can fix the error by editing the data_table.py file ( /opt/conda/lib/python3.7/site-packages/google/colab/data_table.py). Change the line importing the traitlets package from

from IPython.utils import traitlets as _traitlets

to

import traitlets as _traitlets

I have no idea why this error arose, but this fixed it for me anyway.

I have a jupyter-notebook environment where I cloned colabotools on WSL's Ubuntu and installed it with pip. I ran into a similar error when running "from google.colab import output".

As a workaround, I copied the 'traitlets' module directory to the IPython.utils module directory and backed up IPython.utils/traitlets.py. After that I got no imort errors. Below is the execution script.

!cp -r /home/engbjapan/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/traitlets /home/engbjapan/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/IPython/utils/

!mv /home/engbjapan/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/IPython/utils/traitlets.py /home/engbjapan/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/IPython/utils/traitlets.py.bkup

from IPython.utils import traitlets

traitlets.Unicode
>IPython.utils.traitlets.traitlets.Unicode

from google.colab import output
#no error
from google.colab.patches import cv2_imshow
#no error

For your reference.
