Learning Jupyter 5 - Second Edition

Overview of this book

The Jupyter Notebook allows you to create and share documents that contain live code, equations, visualizations, and explanatory text. The Jupyter Notebook system is extensively used in domains such as data cleaning and transformation, numerical simulation, statistical modeling, and machine learning. Learning Jupyter 5 will help you get to grips with interactive computing using real-world examples. The book starts with a detailed overview of the Jupyter Notebook system and its installation in different environments. Next, you will learn to integrate the Jupyter system with different programming languages such as R, Python, Java, JavaScript, and Julia, and explore various versions and packages that are compatible with the Notebook system. Moving ahead, you will master interactive widgets and namespaces and work with Jupyter in a multi-user mode. By the end of this book, you will have used Jupyter with a big dataset and be able to apply all the functionalities you’ve explored throughout the book. You will also have learned all about the Jupyter Notebook and be able to start performing data transformation, numerical simulation, and data visualization.

Installing widgets


  • The widgets package is an upgrade to the standard Jupyter installation. You can update the widgets package using this command:
pip install ipywidgets
  • Once complete, you must then upgrade your Jupyter installation using this command:
jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension
  • And then you must use this command:
conda update jupyter_core jupyter_client
  • We put together a basic example widget Notebook to make sure everything is working:
#import our librariesfrom ipywidgets import *from IPython.display import display#create a slider and message boxslider = widgets.FloatSlider()message = widgets.Text(value = 'Hello World')#add them to the containercontainer = widgets.Box(children = (slider, message))container.layout.border = '1px black solid'display(container)
  • We end up with the following screenshot, where the container widget is displayed enclosing the slider and the message box:
