Overview of this book

Jupyter has garnered a strong interest in the data science community of late, as it makes common data processing and analysis tasks much simpler. This book is for data science professionals who want to master various tasks related to Jupyter to create efficient, easy-to-share, scientific applications. The book starts with recipes on installing and running the Jupyter Notebook system on various platforms and configuring the various packages that can be used with it. You will then see how you can implement different programming languages and frameworks, such as Python, R, Julia, JavaScript, Scala, and Spark on your Jupyter Notebook. This book contains intuitive recipes on building interactive widgets to manipulate and visualize data in real time, sharing your code, creating a multi-user environment, and organizing your notebook. You will then get hands-on experience with Jupyter Labs, microservices, and deploying them on the web. By the end of this book, you will have taken your knowledge of Jupyter to the next level to perform all key tasks associated with it.

Converting Notebooks to reStructedText


The reStructuredText (.rst) format is a simple, plain-text markup language that is used for programming documentation.

How to do it...

With the Notebook loaded into Jupyter, you can select the Download reST format file. You are then prompted to handle the download to your machine.

How it works...

As with some of the other downloads, the downloaded file is in .zip format, containing the .rst file and a .png of the graphic. The files are all named as the name of the Notebook followed by the appropriate extension (.zip, .rst, and .png). My files used the Notebook name of B09656_07+r+iris+for+conversions.

There are many .rst file viewers available. In the one I picked, the display looks like:

Which, I think, is one of the better renderings of this information.

The plot graphic .png is also included; it looks as shown earlier.

The internals of the .rst file look like a combination of HTML and markup:

This is similar to other generated formats, especially HTML. There...
