Not compatible with jupyter-client >= 7.0.0

[phlummox]

This issue arises using the current version of Pweave (Pweave-0.30.3) and Python 3.6.9 on Ubuntu 18.04.6.

To reproduce:

$ python3.6 -m venv env && . ./env/bin/activate
$ echo > test.pmd
$ pweave --format=markdown test.pmd

Expected output

$ pweave --format=markdown test.pmd
status
Weaved test.pmd to test.md
$ cat -n test.md
     1	

Actual output

output follows:

Versions of jupyter-client from 6.1.5 through to 6.1.12 inclusive seem to work fine. (This can be tested by running e.g. pip install --upgrade Pweave 'jupyter-client==6.1.12'.)

Earlier than 6.1.0, I assume one runs into issue #151.

I have the same issue on mac, haven't yet been able to figure out which jupyter client to install

Well, as I mention in the original issue, versions from 6.1.5 through to 6.1.12 seem to work fine.

But if you can't use those, then I think you may simply be out of luck. Pweave as it stands appears to be incompatible with recent versions of jupyter-client, and activity on the project seems to have ceased (the last activity by maintainers was in 2019).

You are right, I changed to the version you mention and now it works, thanks!

In case either of you are interested, a lot of the nice properties from pweave can now be found in quarto, which uses python natively and has support for a lot of nice format (and uses pandoc too).

Ah, cool! I'll take a look. I actually ended up implementing my own mini- generator and templating engine to replace my use of Pweave, because Pweave contains a lot of features I just never use. But something better maintained than my own hacked together solution would be great. :)

An update, for anyone coming across this issue: Pweave seems to be dead [1] [2], but I listed some alternatives here:
