Maybe we can make another GitHub Actions for these later; but
Songbird is causing tensorflow nonsense to pop up, and this is not
the sort of thing I think we should spend time fixing (esp with
the advent of birdman)

See biocore#258 and biocore#315. not confident this is done yet (and if nothing
else the rest of the code gleefully refers to "SparseDataFrame"
because 2019 marcus was a schmuck), but this at least fixes a fair
amount of failing tests

The problem was using .loc[] on these sparse dataframes. whoops

since apparently it's deprecated, or about to be deprecated, idk

most of these warnings were just pd.DataFrame.append() being
deprecated and replaced with pd.concat()

looks like it's a tiny floating-point thing -- probably an artifact
of working here on a new operating system, on a new python version,
a new pandas version, a new biom version, etc. shouldn't make a
noticeable difference

nice!

IIRC something about how our specific altair version works makes it
incompatible with python 3.10. let's test that here -- if needed,
we can update the README to disallow python versions >= 3.10. (And
then we can look into removing the altair pin when absolutely needed.)

Songbird and ALDEx2 ones will cause problems

since i thiiiink these versions mighta worked with the pandas >= 1
syntax

that being said, i don't think it makes sense to devote time/energy
to officially supporting them; just wanna check

Looks like the tests themselves pass for these versions, but the
style-checking with black fails due to incompatibility with click.

yeah this is enough for me to not bother supporting these versions
imo

the apocalypse came and all i got was this pull request
