demo_utils.launch_streamlit unable to work on local install of `conversant`

The files of conversant that are installed by pip are only from sandbox-conversant-lib/conversant.

demo_utils.launch_streamlit requires app/streamlit_example.py to be available.

Code to replicate: pip install conversant

co = cohere.Client("API KEY")
shakespeare_config = {
    "preamble": "Below is a conversation between Shakespeare and a Literature Student.",
    "example_separator": "<CONVERSATION>\n",
    "headers": {
        "user": "Literature Student",
        "bot": "William Shakespeare",
    },
    "examples": [
        [
            {
                "user": "Who are you?",
                "bot": "Mine own nameth is Shakespeare, and I speaketh in riddles.",
            },
        ]
    ],
}
shakespeare_bot = PromptChatbot(
    client=co,
    prompt=ChatPrompt.from_dict(shakespeare_config),
    persona_name="william-shakespeare",
)
demo_utils.launch_streamlit(shakespeare_bot)

Error:

Usage: streamlit run [OPTIONS] TARGET [ARGS]...
Try 'streamlit run --help' for help.

Error: Invalid value: File does not exist: /app/streamlit_example.py

One possible solution is to move app/ into conversant (with a rename), such that streamlit_example.py is available in the pip installed version of conversant as conversant/demo/streamlit_example.py.

Yes good call! I’m running behind on PR reviews so maybe we remove the example now-ish and add it back in next week alongside the fix

Streamlit app needs to be pointed to conversant/demo/streamlit_example.py.
