Replace the ipykernel dependency with an IPython dependency? #409

Closed martinRenou closed 2 years ago

martinRenou commented 2 years ago

Describe the issue

In the setup.py file and in the conda-forge recipe, there is an ipykernel dependency that we could maybe get rid of. We should probably reduce the dependency to an IPython dependency, which we use directly in the codebase.

martinRenou commented 2 years ago

The conda-forge bot is complaining about the following:

Missing dependencies:
- traitlets
- jupyter-packaging
- numpy
- ipython
- pillow
- ipython_genutils

Unused dependencies:
- six
- ipykernel

is it still mandatory to have the contraint ipython<8 ? (ipympl is the only package with that in my stack) and recompiling it is a not trivial problem
