v2 branch is under active development. You might want to use that instead, since it’s much easier to work with and supports python3.

In this case, please refer to the v2 documentation.

To upgrade to v2, please enjoy the v1 to v2 upgrade instructions (documented with love !).

• the Autocomplete class design hasn’t changed at all.

• yourlabsWidget() doesn’t parses data-* options the same,
