Seaborn website down

Does anyone know what's going on with the Seaborn website? The URL doesn't work anymore, it just says "Access forbidden."

There's a GitHub issue saying that a new place to host the website needs to be found in the future. Maybe the future is now.

And just posted on that issue, the documentation can be found at: https://seaborn.github.io/

Author of Seaborn has graduated from Stanford as now doesn't have web hosting w/ them anymore, there's been talk on Twitter about having pydata host the documentation.

my quick solution:

 git clone [email protected]:mwaskom/seaborn.git
 cd seaborn/doc
 pip install sphinx sphinx-bootstrap-theme numpydoc statsmodels
 make html
 open _build/html/index.html

I can confirm that this affects more than OP.

They might have had a glitch on their systems, happens sometimes to the best of websites. Check back in an hour or so. If you need access to their docs the source is probably in their github. It's not ideal but might work in a pinch.

A friend contacted Stanford who said since he graduated, they took down his site.

Another alternative if you don't want to make the documentation is download Dash (for mac only), it's there as a user contributed docset.

If you need to read see the webpage for example to read the documentation you could use The Wayback Machine.

From GitHub:

My Stanford website will be deactivated sometime in the fall. Need to find a new home and set up appropriate redirects.
