Dependency issues

[jdeschamps]

Hi!

A collaborator tried to use blik and had some issues. I could reproduce the errors with their data. I encountered problems with some of the dependencies, both when starting napari and then when starting the reader plugin.

1) Related to imageio==2.22.1 that prevents napari from starting. i would suggest to pin either imageio!==2.22.1 in setup.cfg or suggesting to pip install "napari[all]==0.4.15 in the Readme.

2) naaf version 0.3.1 doesn't have naaf.data submodule:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Maybe you could pin naaf>=0.2.2, <=0.2.3 in a new version at least until you merge a branch compatible with naaf>=0.3.0?

Hi @jdeschamps, sorry you encountered issues! The problem is caused by a mismatch with the dependency that I thought I would be able to work on silently without messing up anyone's system, so you just got unlucky and tried to use blik when it's broken :P Yes, pinning dependencies for now is a good idea.

I'm currently waiting for napari==0.4.17 (which should come in the coming 2 weeks hopefully) in order to push several updates that depend on it and make a new release. I will update you once that happens!

For the time being, forcing naaf==0.2.3 as you found out should be enough to help.

Alright, if napari==0.4.17 is really that close, then I understand it makes no sense to make an in-between version.

Thanks!
