NoteBooks don't work on MyBinder #157

Open boustrephon opened 2 years ago

boustrephon commented 2 years ago

I really like this training, but it currently fails when run in MyBinder which is one of the options. I suspect that there is a problem with the 2_to_3 component.

I was going to share the error messages, but I can't get them back at the moment.

I haven't touched this project in 5 years. I'm not planning to take it down, but it is not being actively maintained at this point.

Thank you. I quite understand. I was just wondering if there was a quick fix. Do you think I might be able to identify it if I download the notebook, or is it likely to be elsewhere?

That would probably be a reasonable page to start with (the contents notebook), because I believe that page has only markdown cells. If I were going to pick up development on this project, I would start by building a fresh environment with current Jupyter infrastructure, and then start copying individual ipynb files over to the new environment. But I've been out of the Jupyter world for a while, so I'm not sure the current best approach.

I do know most of the complexity in this project was involved in the process of converting it to html that worked well for learners. I don't think there's a whole lot of complexity in the cells themselves.
