Summary

Makes plotly-cloud a default install dependency of Dash instead of only being available through the optional dash[cloud] extra. plotly-cloud (imported as plotly_cloud) powers the plotly console entry point and Dash's cloud integration in dash/dash.py, so shipping it by default means those features work out of the box.

Changes

  • Add plotly-cloud to requirements/install.txt (unpinned, matching the file's existing style and requirements/cloud.txt).
  • Keep the cloud extra (requirements/cloud.txt + setup.py extras_require) unchanged so pip install dash[cloud] still resolves for backward compatibility. It is now redundant but non-breaking.
  • Update the ImportError hint in dash/_plotly_cli.py: since plotly-cloud is now always installed, the stale dash[cloud] suggestion is replaced with pip install plotly-cloud (or reinstalling dash). The defensive try/except is retained.
  • Add a CHANGELOG entry under Added.

Closes #3513

plotly-cloud is now installed by default with dash instead of only via
the optional dash[cloud] extra. The extra is kept for backward
compatibility. Update the plotly CLI ImportError hint to no longer point
at dash[cloud].

Closes #3513
