cypher-kernel 0.3.2

A Cypher kernel for Jupyter

This is a Cypher kernel for Jupyter notebooks.

Installation

To install the cypher_kernel from PyPI:

pip install cypher_kernel
python -m cypher_kernel.install

Dependencies

The kernel requires a Neo4j database engine running somewhere. For experimentation and under the assumption that Docker is installed, an instance can be spawned as in the following:

docker run        --rm        --publish=7474:7474        --publish=7687:7687        --env NEO4J_AUTH=neo4j/pwd        neo4j

Configuration

The Cypher Kernel needs to know to which Neo4j instance to connect, which can be specified in ~/.jupyter/cypher_config.yml. In case the file is not existent the following default configuration is used:

user: 'neo4j'
pwd: 'pwd'
host: 'neo4j://localhost:7687'
connect_result_nodes: False
cmd_timeout: null

Using the Cypher Kernel

Notebook: The New menu in the notebook should show an option for an Cypher notebook.
