Question

I am using spyder to run my code.

I tried to replace Ipython.html.widgets to ipywidgets and execute it. It threw me back:

ImportError: cannot import name ButtonWidget"

Answer 1

You said

I am using spyder to run my code.

However, IPython Widgets code can't be run in Spyder because its consoles can't display Html content.

So you need to run this code in the Jupyter notebook.
