Hello,
(This could be related [Error when executing the Binder example: “compare images side by side” #455](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/itkwidgets/issues/455))
It seems that the compare widget is missing:
```auto
ImportError Traceback (most recent call last)
Input In [1], in ()
2 import numpy as np
3 import imageio
----> 4 from itkwidgets import view, compare, checkerboard
ImportError: cannot import name 'compare' from 'itkwidgets' (/home/edgar/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/itkwidgets/ __init__.py)
```
` __init__.py` does not require it, and it does not seem to exist in the directory, either (`ls /home/edgar/.local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/itkwidgets/`)
```auto
cm.py
__init__.py
__pycache__
static
trait_types.py
_transform_types.py
_version.py
widget_checkerboard.py
widget_line_profiler.py
widget_viewer.py
```
I tried [this](https://github.com/InsightSoftwareConsortium/ITKElastix/blob/master/examples/1_NumPyArray.ipynb) with a `jupyter-notebook` and a `jupyter-lab`:
```auto
import itk
import numpy as np
import imageio
from itkwidgets import view, compare, checkerboard
```
itkwidgets 0.20.0 (also with 1.08a; 0.32.2 is not installable)
itk 5.3rc4
jupyter-lab 3.4.4
Python 3.10.5 (main, Jun 6 2022, 18:49:26) [GCC 12.1.0]
IPython 8.4.0
notebook server 6.4.12

After `itk-5.3.0` is published, we will bump the dependency in itkwidgets.

Solved by uninstalling suggested version of itkwidgets and simply running “pip install itkwidgets”
