Environment

We built a Python virtual environment capable of importing every published PyHC package without dependency conflicts, and we intended to use that environment for this gallery. However, the resulting Docker image is too large for Binder to handle. So instead, we made our own pyhc-gallery image and pushed it to Docker Hub. We encourage interested readers to try it out.

But for now, these pages are generated using a minimal set of packages needed to run the examples:
