Description
Hi,
Apparently, to use ipympl with Jupyter, one needs to install it in the kernel that runs the jupyterhub:
https://github.com/matplotlib/ipympl/issues/547
but that also installs matplotlib, which is a no go.
Can we install ipympl *without* installing matplotlib, so that our users can install whatever matplotlib they want ?
Thanks
