Heya, yep I'm already aware of click v8. It should be a problem to update, but needs to be synchronised with an update in other packages, including jupyter-book and sphinx-external-toc

Ehi @chrisjsewell, thanks. Maybe just unpinning it allowing also future versions? If the code still works with 8.x, that would let other project their time to adapt, still allowing people needing more modern versions to use them, wouldn't it?

Also, why is explicitly listed? I fasly searched here on Github and click does not seem to be used in this project, isn't it?

I was wondering the same thing - is there a reason that we're depending on click in the book theme? I would have imagined this is only necessary for the command-line-based tools.

If we can't think of a good reason, I'm +1 on removing Click as a dependency
