interactive example on mybinder not working

[PeerHerholz]

Ahoi hoi there,

Problem:

I was just trying to run the examples on mybinder, but appears to be a problem as none of the imports do work:

Steps to reproduce:

Try to run the examples on mybinder here.

Possible solution:

No precise idea, but seems that the examples are running on a local mybinder instance. Hence, maybe check if everything is okay there.

Happy to help solving this in case there's something I could do.

Best, Peer

it looks like the package installer was reorganized in a previous commit. and as such the automated binder builder is not working. perhaps @janfreyberg can provide some information.

otherwise one needs to create a .binder folder to add some binder specific action.

Yeah, this is a really good catch. I updated to use a different install system (poetry) and that now causes problems on binder. I don't have a huge amount of experience with binder - I'll look into it but am not sure how long it will take me!

[PeerHerholz]

I'm not sure if I can help, but I would be happy to give it a try. @satra would a Dockerfile with the respective settings be an overkill? That's how I usually run tutorials, etc. on binder. However, I also see the feasibility of a .binder folder.

@PeerHerholz - sorry for the really late reply. but given that many projects are using poetry, this may be a question for the binder team whether they plan to support poetry, before thinking of other solutions.
