https://github.com/binder-examples/jupyter-extension is not compatible with current version

"@jupyter-widgets/jupyterlab-manager@0.38.1" is not compatible with the current JupyterLab

@dg-data I pointed this out back in September last year. See here. The current listing of incompatibilities looks more troubling now. I haven't come across an example that has extension working in JupyterLab version 2.2.0 launched from MyBinder recently to learn if there is a magic incantation to update to make it work again for now. Maybe locking in things in by adding an environment.yml file with older versions?

That fix will just be temporary though because I imagine soon the default JupyterLab version on MyBinder will be JupyterLab 3.

The system for extensions in JupyterLab 3 is much different. See the section 'Faster more compact Binders' here. The current example I know of is here. That example still uses Conda though. At present the example lists an extension.

Thanks for responding! Now I see what's going on and why. As Freddie Mercury sang, it's a kind of magic. The gist linked above looks good for now, installing extensions with pip makes life easier.

(Apparently the Jupyterlab version on MyBinder is 3.0)
