Unpinning nbconvert

See original GitHub issue

Really awesome project everyone! I’m trying to make more use of it myself but certainly coming from a beginner angle.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

What is the reason for pinning nbconvert to be a lower version than the latest major release of 6.0. I have other packages that have moved on to this version and this is causing a dependency clash (knowing that there were some changes to the API in these versions I can particularly “bodge” it).

I did a scan of the issues, both open and closed and on the myst-nb repo. But all I could see was a vague reference to a install on Mac error.

Describe the solution you’d like

Moving onto the latest version of nbconvert.

Describe alternatives you’ve considered

An understanding of the issues that are stopping this so I could look to help.

Hi @quant-dc, yes for reference this was the exact point it was pinned: https://github.com/executablebooks/jupyter-book/pull/972#issuecomment-693653973, but anyhow removing the pin would not “work” just yet because myst-nb also pins to version 5. I have some outstanding work on myst-nb that I am trying to finish as quickly as possible 😬 (got side-tracked with some other stuff), where I actually intend to completely remove the nbconvert dependency, at which point there should also be no reason for jupyter-book to depend on nbconvert

Wouldn’t dream of it! But looking forwards to the change nonetheless.
