CONT: adding firefly tutorials

Both these notebooks work for me locally on OSX, so I'm puzzled if the issues we see in CI are expected or not.

@bsipocz this gaierror: [Errno 8] nodename nor servname provided, or not known has been observed by me, Eric, and others randomly - it's hard to reproduce consistently. It's interesting to see that it's happening only on MacOS pipeline.

A quick google search and chasing SO threads, reveals that it has to do with requirement of explicit defining of hosts/port name for MacOS (but I can be wrong). I'll open a bug ticket about it at firefly-client so that we can remember to debug it.

[jaladh-singhal]

Is this something we need to fix at package configuration of firefly-client by defining setuptools as required dependency?

[bsipocz]

yeap, see Caltech-IPAC/firefly_client#60, as well as the other pkg_resources related issue. In fact addressing Tim's would make this one irrelevant, too.

[jaladh-singhal]

Ah, didn't notice that - thanks. I'll get this added to Jira

Couldn't help but notice: the pip packages names for both of these use - instead of _ - I ran into similar confusion earlier and couldn't install the package, I'm surprised to see it's working in CI with _

[bsipocz]

hahh, interesting. I suppose pip replaces them at install, but indeed I should declare them as they are named on pypi.

It seems to be pretty consistent on CI, but I also don't see it locally on OSX, everything works there for me when I directly use the notebooks.
So, is there a workaround recipe that you would suggest us to do here? I mean, the easiest would be to just exclude these tutorials from the OSX testing for now and comment in a reference for a known firefly issue.

Yes, I would suggest excluding these (or anything under firefly/) for now. I have other stuff on my plate so I won't get chance to work on it until late August.

Ubuntu and Windows pipelines passing is good enough check, I think?

Well, not if we want to ensure things are working for mac users, too, but for now I'll indeed turn off that job for that directory.
