issue with latest version (3.0.2) in Windows

[M00NSH0T]

first of all, thank you for making this extension. It's incredibly useful.

Anyway, when I installed earlier versions of this via the extension manager within Jupyter Lab, it worked as intended. However, the latest version (3.0.2) appears to require installation via pip instead, which, after downgrading to pip 18.1 (see here), results in the variable inspector window installing and activating correctly, but it never updates to actually show any variables. Unlike other bugs I've encountered with upgrading to new versions of jlab before the extension had been upgraded, I am able to move the variable instpector window around to new panes. It's responsive and appears to not be frozen (like it will show "restarting kernel" if I restart a kernel), but it never lists active variables in my notebooks.

Hey, I could not reproduce this issue on linux using a python kernel.
If you're also using a py kernel try to execute _jupyterlab_variableinspector_dict_list() in a notebook with an existing variable to check if the extension scripts have been pushed successfully to the kernel.

you mean just run _jupyterlab_variableinspector_dict_list() in a cell in an active workbook?

if so, I get the following error:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

NameError: name '_jupyterlab_variableinspector_dict_list' is not defined

Please try the new 3.0.4 release which should fix this issue.

confirmed that's working. Thank you very much!
