@mofojed

Just ran into this issue since kaleido 1.0.0 was just released yesterday.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install plotly 5.x (pip install "plotly<6.0.0")
  2. In a python session, create a plotly figure and try to write it using to_image (using instructions from https://plotly.com/python/static-image-export/)
  3. Follow the steps in the error message to install kaleido pip install -U kaleido
  4. Repeat step 2

Expected Results
4. Image export should work

Actual Results
4. Get an error about the version of kaleido not being compatible with plotly.

Warning: You have Plotly version 5.24.1, which is not compatible with this version of Kaleido (1.0.0).

This means that static image generation (e.g. `fig.write_image()`) will not work.

Please upgrade Plotly to version 6.1.1 or greater, or downgrade Kaleido to version 0.2.1.

Two things could help here:

  1. In plotly 5.x, update the error message to say pip install -U "kaleido<1.0.0":
  2. In kaleido 1.x, update the error message to say how to upgrade plotly or downgrade kaleido, e.g. pip install -U plotly, or pip install "kaleido<1.0.0"
