Metaclustering `DEBUG_VIEW` gives a cryptic error on the latest version of `ipywidgets` (8.0.5)

[srivarra]

Please refer to our FAQ and look at our known issues before opening a bug report.

Describe the bug

A new release of ipywidgets was made earlier on 3/21/23 which causes a cryptic error pop up when setting the DEBUG_VIEW for metaclustergui.py.

Expected behavior

It should run without errors. Looks like this pr may fix it. But for now the solution would be to pin ipywidgets to 8.0.0.

To Reproduce Run pytest and it'll error out. See this recent CI run
