RFC to push a widget rewrite. Cannot update package to latest jupyter(lite)/pyoxide versions.

[rgon]

The current bundled jupyter/plotly/numpy version have some limitations. For example #8, and a plotly+pandas bug while creating graphs which makes a graphed dataframe lose data (haven't even found the related issue, can provide reproduction if asked) .

In any case, it's best to use the up-to-date versions.

In #9, I tried manually upgrading it, but unexpectedly, a bunch of console issues appeared, and jupyterlite doesn't even run (see below). I haven't been able to fix them.

I successfully rebuilt the entire widget in @rgon/grist-jupyterlite-2, but it required even a new bundler.

• Python 3.13, latest pyoxide, latest jupyterlab/jupyterlite
• Allows importing ipywidgets
• The rest stays the same
  If any of you are able to backport the fixes, It'd be a possibility. I haven't (although I had never worked with the internals of jupyter). If not, if the maintainers are OK with that, I could push the contents of my rewrite.

Any ideas are welcome!

Thanks for looking into this @rgon.

I shared a link to this issue with the other developers at Grist Labs. We'll respond as soon as we can.

No rush, I'm currently using my own deployment (custom widgets have quite a nice DX, by the way)!
