ipywidgets version might need updating?

[MKCarter]

Hi,

I installed the updated code and ran into an issue when running:

aizynthapp --config config_local.yml

It appears that the ipywidgets throws the error displaying widget when viewing the jupyter notebook.

To fix this I had to pip install ipywidgets==8.0.0 - there is a message shown that this version would conflict with aizynthfinder, but it seems to have fixed the problem. I have tried this on both Mac and Linux and it seems to work on both of these OS.

Hope this helps.

All the best!

Hello Mike. We had issues with ipywidgets before, so we pinned it to a lower version. That have worked, so it is interesting that it doesn't work for you. I also think they have fixed the issue that was causing problems before, so perhaps we should update the version. We will look into this.

I can confirm this problem, and its fix.

I met the same problem and the install of ipywidgets==8.0.0 solved it. Thank you @MKCarter

The GUI with the ipywidgets have clearly been outdated.

We have decided to deprecate this interface to the package for a number of reasons:

• It is not used particularly much by ourselves
• It only support a small portion of the features in AiZynthFinder
• Maintaining a GUI is costly
• We believe that in-depth notebooks highlighting how the Python interface can be used can serve a similar purpose
