@jtpio as Python packaging doesn't have peerDependencies like npm does, I'd like to specify the dependency somehow. The same, of course, is true for the jupyterlab version (which we don't currently specify). I wonder if splitting the server component into a separate package would help. We could then potentially use sys_platform to test for emscripten.

@jtpio do you have any feelings about whether it's appropriate to use publish PyPI wheels that sys_platform to detect emscripten? I can't find any standard on the allowed values for sys_platform, which implies it's OK.

@jtpio thinking about this again - would changing this dependency to jupyterlab instead of jupyter-server work for jupyterlite?

It would be quite similar since jupyterlab depends on jupyter-server.
