Hi,

I invested in using JupyterHub to teach two courses this year (which has
been great!). One of my courses uses the PyDy package which makes use of
IPython widgets to display threejs animations. We built this animation tool
in 2014 and since then all of the changes to IPython, widgets, and Jupyter
have broken our code. Since I have not been able to fund the development
needed to migrate to the pythreejs code, I've been teaching by having
students setup environments with old versions of Jupyter on their local
machines so that PyDy still works.

The problem is now that I am running a reasonably new version of Jupyter on
a server with JupyterHub and setting up a a conda environment as a new
kernel doesn't seem to let me make use of and older Jupyter version when
opening notebooks with that kernel, and thus the animations don't work.

I'm curious if there is a solution to this.This is the pinned environment
that I'd like to run as a kernel on the hub:

https://github.com/pydy/pydy-conda-recipes/blob/master/
pydy-examples/0.4.0/meta.yaml

It uses notebok 4.* and ipywidgets 4.*. Is it possible for me to get this
working if we have notebook 5.1 as the main version setup for our
JupyterHub?

Thanks,

Jason
