jupyter_jsmol-2022.1.0 will not build against python3.9

[strogdon]

This is on Prefix which I don't believe is causing this.

I must say since the default has changed from python 3.9 to python 3.10 I have stopped testing my install on 3.9. I'll have to investigate.

[strogdon]

Initially I though python3.9 was the issue, but StaticModule is in the same location for python3.9 and python3.10

[kiwifb]

Do you have an old stale version of jupyter_packaging? The call comes from there and has protection against import not working in version 0.12.2.

[strogdon]

I do have jupyter_packaging-0.11.1 installed - 0.12.2 is available.

[kiwifb]

I am fairly sure updating will help.

[strogdon]

Upgrading jupyter_packaging did the trick.

[kiwifb]

I am thinking of raising the dependency to avoid that kind of stale package. And obviously, this is the right thing to do in that case.
