Upgrade to JupyterLab 3

[mbektas]

• Upgrades to JupyterLab 3.1.10 version
• MVP solution for stand-alone and self-contained desktop application for macOS, Debian, Ubuntu, Red Hat, Fedora and Windows with GUI installers for each platform
• Bundles JupyterLab server using conda constructor and automatically installs the conda environment during app installation. Following conda packages are included in the environment:

  - python 3.8
  - numpy
  - scipy
  - pandas
  - jupyterlab 3.1.10
  - ipywidgets 7.6.4
  - matplotlib

• Some features are removed (remote JupyterLab server connection etc) for now with the initial goal being providing an MVP desktop app

Current state:

This is awesome! Somewhere we have the account, certificates, and information needed to create the app for MacOS. Let me know if you want to dive into that and I can track down the needed information.

Thanks @ellisonbg ! Sure, please share that information with me. Not so urgent but I will need those.

Are the instructions on the README still valid to test this PR?

Yes @echarles, yarn commands work for me. I didn't update & test distribution build yet. Are you having any issues?

yarn install and yarn build:all should work fine

[echarles]

@mbektasbbg No issue, yarn and yarn build:all work fine on my env and the electron window is launched correctly.

I am on mac, and confused with To build for macOS a macOS computer is required.: There is no yarn dockerdist:macostarget.

Then there is If you don't want to user Docker but instead want to build locally, there are a few dependencies you're required to install.: On https://github.com/electron-userland/electron-builder I read To ensure your native dependencies are always matched electron version, simply add script "postinstall": "electron-builder install-app-deps" to your package.json.. What should I do? (As you see, first-time electron developer here).

@echarles readme seems to be pretty outdated. Once I update distribution related code, I will make sure readme is up to date as well.

Thx a lot @mbektasbbg for working on this. Looking forward the instructions when you will publish them.

Thx so much @mbektasbbg for this work!! Just yesterday I was discussing this app with @lgfunderburk, in the context of her work at Cybera/Callysto. For some of her use cases, a standalone, self-contained, "native" app would be very valuable. I missed your recent work on it, so it's great to see it moving forward!

Thanks @fperez! Yes, our goal is to provide a self-contained native app which would also be able to connect to remote Jupyter server backends.

Thx a lot @mbektasbbg for working on this. Looking forward the instructions when you will publish them.

@echarles you can now follow the updated instructions to create a Mac installer and test. Now we have a self-contained app with its own conda env. bundled in. More updates to follow.

LGTM! Happy to merge and iterate, but let's leave this open for a day in case anyone else has feedback

[blink1073]

The yarn file has a conflict

[jtpio]

This is great, thanks @mbektas for the update!

[jtpio]

Given that this is clearly a big improvement compared to the current state on master, we can indeed go ahead with a merge and iterate 👍

[welcome]

Congrats on your first merged pull request in this project! 🎉

Thank you for contributing, we are very proud of you! ❤️

Where is this file?

[mbektas]

@krassowski I copied the LICENSE file as is from jupyterlab repo. I just checked, semver.py is shipped with bundled jupyterlab python package. but I am not sure if it is OK to remove from jupyterlab-desktop license.

but I am not sure if it is OK to remove from jupyterlab-desktop license

I'd say it is OK to remove, since that file was never explicitly included in this repo.
