sims_maf dependency on ipython-notebook obsolete?

[rhiannonlynne]

So sims_maf has a dependency on ipython-notebook >= 3.0
(line 104/105 https://github.com/mjuric/conda-lsst/blob/master/etc/config.yaml)

but I believe with jupyter notebook, that the 'ipython-notebook' package is deprecated.

I don't know if we require a specific version of jupyter or ipython, but if it's already a recent enough version, we should just drop the ipython-notebook requirement. I'm not entirely sure where the change happened, but I think it was with ipython 4.0.

[mjuric]

We added the requirement because people were confused when they installed sims_maf and didn't have IPython :).

What would you prefer -- to have them install (ipython|jupyter)-notebook manually, or just bump up the requirement to jupyter-notebook?

[rhiannonlynne]

Is there a jupyter-notebook? (I don't see one if I do conda search jupyter-notebook).
If they have jupyter_core > 4.0, I think that they have jupyter notebook automatically, or anyway, I can't figure out which of the jupyter modules (jupyter, jupyter_core, jupyter_client or jupyter_console) it comes with.

[rhiannonlynne]

Does jupyter come with miniconda? If so, I think the easiest thing to do is drop any requirement. If people don't have jupyter or ipython notebook capabilities (because they have a very old version of anaconda/miniconda), they can install it manually. And upgrade conda.

[mjuric]

No, miniconda comes with nothing; that's why we added the requirement.

Fine with me to drop it, but you'll have to update the docs to make sure people know to install it on their own.

Hmm. Maybe we can add the relevant 'jupyter' to the dependencies?
