Error when using plot function

[FionaMoon]

Hi all,
I met a strange problem which never exists before.
Every time I run cellphonedb plot heatmap_plot, I'll get errors like this

Warning message:
In options(stringsAsFactors = TRUE) :
  'options(stringsAsFactors = TRUE)' is deprecated and will be disabled
Error: package or namespace load failed for ‘methods’:

And it seems have another problem like in #363, markupsafe need to be downgrading. If I don't do this I 'll got error:

ImportError: cannot import name 'soft_unicode' from 'markupsafe'

pip install -U markupsafe<=2.0.1 should solve your markupsafe issue
