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?
