Fixed

[rht]

The CI fails because matplotlib is not installed. TODO:

• inside PyPlotVisualization.py, do a try import matplotlib. If this fail raises an error and say that the optional dependency matplotlib is missing
• in setup.py, in extras_require, in dev, add matplotlib.

[rht]

If the 3 TODOs are addressed, then this LGTM.

Not yet addressed.

Also the new const comments not yet addressed.

[vineetvermait]

Anything pending??

[rht]

• There is one issue with the import matplotlib still not yet resolved
• You need to squash your commits into 1 commit

Here is an example UX in Pandas. I was trying to use the string[pyarrow] feature, which depends on an optional dependency of PyArrow. I got this error message:

ImportError: pyarrow>=1.0.0 is required for PyArrow backed StringArray.

We could use this concise error message instead of the long one I suggested.

@vineetvermait are you still availabe for the remaining small points? If not would you mind me finishing the PR for you so we can get this merged?

[rht]

It has been 2 days. @Corvince you should just go for it.

[rht]

Bump.

[Corvince]

Thanks for the bump, I totally forgot about this!

Closing, because I think the next-gent frontend for Mesa should be based on Streamlit/Panel/ipywidgets. This would result in simpler code (plus for maintainability), and that it is easier to be customized by the user. Followup discussion on https://github.com/projectmesa/mesa/discussions/1622.
