error importing observable_jupyter (version 0.1.11) on Colab about observable-jupyter

[thomasballinger]

I only published a source distribution AKA sdist for 0.1.11, and it looks like there's something wrong with installing the source distribution. I've since published a wheel which does work in colab, but the release is still yanked so unless specifically requested by version, users will keep getting 0.1.10.

I can reproduce the issue with the source dist locally with 0.1.11 and 0.1.10. The source distribution is find for 0.1.8.

I'll look into this.

! whoops, thank you! I'll yank that release.

The problem is changes I made to the install process: now installing from a source distribution includes using npm to install JavaScript dependencies and bundle the JavaScript code. This is wrong, a source distribution shouldn't require node, the JavaScript code should be bundled already.

Thanks :D I'll just stick with 1.1.10 for now

Resolved by 1d264c3 and newly published version 0.1.12 should work fine, even when installed via sdist with pip install observable_jupyter==0.1.12 --no-binary :all:
