Looks good. I frown a bit on modules doing stuff (install_nbextension in
this case) at import time. I have my code install the nbextension (using
the symlink option) when the widget class is instantiated. We've designed
that API to be cheap when it's already installed, so you can use it as an
'ensure this is installed' mechanism.
