ipympl does not work with JupyterNotebook, contradicts ReadMe

See original GitHub issue

On Windows (at least), I can only plot using ipympl with jupyter lab, not jupyter notebook.

The following code does not produce anything.

%matplotlib ipympl
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3])

Currently, the repo README lists installation instructions for Jupyter Notebook. Assuming this is just not a bug on my system (all my windows machines have this behaviour), I suggest that these be removed or commented out with an explanation.

In addition, it would be nice with a short “Usage” paragraph in the README with showing how one can (and should!) use %matplotlib ipympl instead of %matplotlib notebook in jupyter lab. I’m happy to amend the file and come up with a bit of text.

@thomasaarholt @jenshnielsen I have just fixed the conda-forge recipe.

Also, 0.1.1 has been released. The main change in 0.1.1 is that there is no need to enable the extension at all even with pip if you use notebook >= 5.3.
