jupyter_contrib_nbextenions appears to be incompatible with Jupyter Notebook v7.

[txoof]

Major Edits:

It appears that this is no longer compatible with Jupyter Notebook V7. The contrib_nbextenions executable attempts to load files from the notebook/base path which no longer exists as of V7.

It appears that major changes are necessary to make this project work with notebook V7.

Issue

Running any of the following contbrib/nbextension command results in a ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'notebook.base' error . I have a similar setup on a similar raspberry pi from a few months ago and it works just fine. I used an ansible playbook to install and set this up for both Pis, so I'm pretty confident that I haven't done anything different between the two.

Commands:

• jupyter-nbextensions_configuratior
• jupyter contrib

This is a completely fresh, out of the box RasPi OS Lite install. I've installed the Python3 module using apt (apt install python3 python-setuptools python3-pip python3-gpiozero pytyhon-dev). I then installed jupyter, jupyterthemes, jupyter_contrib_nbexteions and pipenv using pip3.

Full error output

$ ./jupyter-nbextensions_configurator

Python Information

Version: Python 3.9.2

All python modules were installed using pip3, not the debian package manager. The python entry files in ~/.local/bin source /usr/bin/python3 so it doesn't look like this is some weird issue of using different versions of python.

Disregard everything below this point; this is totally irrelevant.

I've done some more investigation and it seems that the problem is related to how the path's are sourced though I have no idea what the **actual** problem is.

Here's the current function

__version__ = 0.7.0
def _jupyter_nbextension_paths():
    """Magically-named function for jupyter extension installations."""
    nbextension_dirs = [
        os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), 'nbextensions')]
    specs = jupyter_nbextensions_configurator.get_configurable_nbextensions(
        nbextension_dirs=nbextension_dirs)

And what I have on a working version from November of 2022:

__version__ = 0.6.1
def _jupyter_nbextension_paths():
    return [
        dict(
            section="notebook",
            src="static/nbextensions_configurator",
            dest="nbextensions_configurator",
            require='nbextensions_configurator/config_menu/main',
        ),
        dict(
            section="tree",
            src="static/nbextensions_configurator",
            dest="nbextensions_configurator",
            require='nbextensions_configurator/tree_tab/main',
        ),
    ]
```<

OK, the actual problem is this: I appear to be missing ~/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/notebook/base

Looking back at version 6.5.x of jupyter notebook, the base path is included. In version 7.0.1, the base path, along with a shedload of other paths are no longer included.

Is there a sensible workaround for this other than pinning to Notebook 6.5.x?

[dotlambda]

This is caused by Jupyter-contrib/jupyter_nbextensions_configurator#165.

[nesterenkobohdan]

does anyone know when jupyter_contrib_nbextenions will be compatible with Jupyter Notebook v7 ?

I'm not as savvy. how can i fix this issue for Notebook v7 or +?

i can't make NBextension work due to this same issue. * withtthe usual pip install or jupyter install commands.
"module not found. notebook.base "

any suggestions?

[WesleyTheGeolien]

I put a PR together that should fix this and make the package work with notebook 7 if someone could test #1657 and verify the PR works that would be great
