<PurpleSym>rekado: Afaik when I added python-jupyter-server as a dependency to python-notebook its tests failed differently, accessing a non-existent object key.

<PurpleSym>Unfortunately the package metadata is not indicating any minimal versions, but several packages have seen major version bumps – amonst them python-jupyter-server, python-jupyter-core.

<rekado>okay

<rekado>I've already broken through many of the boundaries that I had set myself; so now I've touched python-rich, jsonschema, attrs, python-ipykernel, etc

<rekado>mass rebuilds!

<rekado>let's see what good this will do us

<rekado>(if any)

<civodul>rekado: you’re a hero

<civodul>we should set a broad Guix+Python meeting to discuss ways to make this sustainable

<rekado>yeah, there are a few things worth discussing

<rekado>I just found the reason for an annoying problem: some pytest plugin propagated python-tornado, but everywhere else I'm using python-tornado-6.

<rekado>this is a very frustrating vector for build failures: some other package in the huge graph of transitive dependencies adds this pytest plugin and somewhere down the line jupyter fails because it ends up loading tornado 5 instead of 6

<rekado>the convention to overload the meaning of "native-inputs" in the case of Python to mean "development tools and libraries, or whatever" suggests a separation that doesn't actually exist

<rekado>successfully built python-notebook

<rekado>...but I wonder how many more I broke
