Jupyter Notebook error message that IOPub data rate exceeded

Question

I get the following error message when I try to import a .txt file with the following code,

with open("cobuy.txt", "r+") as my_file:
    for item in my_file:
        my_file.write("%s\n" % item)

text = open("obuy.txt").read()

text

:

IOPub data rate exceeded.
The notebook server will temporarily stop sending output
to the client in order to avoid crashing it.
To change this limit, set the config variable
`--NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit`.

From googling around, it seems there is a problem with Jupyter Notebook version 5.0. It shows that you can put the following code in the terminal to resolve that: jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit=10000000000, I can't seem to get this to work: https://github.com/jupyter/notebook/issues/2287

Are there any other solutions to this?

This solution is working for me.

Start the notebook as below:

jupyter notebook --NotebookApp.iopub_data_rate_limit=1.0e10

how do I do this if I access my jupyter notebook through the Anaconda screen rather then the terminal? Thanks! – bernando_vialli Jun 25 '18 at 15:55
