Failing to load interactive widget

[dav92lee]

Best!

I think this is an issue with ipywidgets (jupyter/notebook#1386). It seems that ipywidgets=4.1.1 do not appear in notebook>=4.2...

They have fixed this issue for ipywidgets>=5.0 so this will be fixed by #22. Maybe try to downgrade notebook and see if it is fixed until then?

Struggling with downgrading without version conflicts. Would mean the world if one of you guys could put up your conda list where the interactive widget works?

specifically with widgetsnbextension and notebook

Best!

Same with ipywidgets 6.0 here...

update: solved by downgrading widgetsnbextension to 2.0
