kernel-run 0.0.6

Run any Jupyter notebook on Kaggle kernels instantly

kernel-run 🔥🚀

Instantly create and run a Kaggle kernel from any Jupyter notebook (local file or URL).

$ kernel-run path/to/notebook.ipynb
Kernel created successfully: https://www.kaggle.com/aakashns/kr-notebook/edit

$ kernel-run http://cs231n.stanford.edu/notebooks/pytorch_tutorial.ipynb
Kernel created successfully: https://www.kaggle.com/aakashns/kr-pytorch-tutorial/edit

kernel-run uploads the Jupyter notebook to a private kernel in your Kaggle account, and launches a browser window so you can start editing/executing the code immediately.

Installation

pip install kernel-run --upgrade

The above command install a command-line tool called kernel-run which can be invoked from the terminal/command prompt.

Note: To allow kaggle-run to upload the notebook to your Kaggle account, you need to download the Kaggle API credentials file kaggle.json. To download the kaggle.json file:

1. Go to https://kaggle.com
2. Log in and go to your account page
3. Click the "Create New API Token" button in the "API" section
4. Move the downloaded kaggle.json file to the folder ~/.kaggle/

CLI Usage & Options

Run the kernel-run command on your terminal/command prompt with a Jupyter notebook's path (or URL) as the argument:

$ kernel-run path/to/notebook.ipynb
Kernel created successfully: https://www.kaggle.com/aakashns/kr-notebook/edit

$ kernel-run http://cs231n.stanford.edu/notebooks/pytorch_tutorial.ipynb
Kernel created successfully: https://www.kaggle.com/aakashns/kr-pytorch-tutorial/edit

There are various options you can configure. Run kernel-run -h to see the options:

usage: kernel-run notebook_path_or_url [-h] [--public] [--new] [--no-browser] [--strip-output] [--prefix PREFIX]

positional arguments:
  notebook_path_or_url  Path/URL of the Jupyter notebook

optional arguments:
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit
  --public              Create a public kernel
  --new                 Create a new kernel, if a kernel with the same name exists
  --no-browser          Don't open a browser window automatically
  --strip-output        Clear output cells before uploading notebook (useful for large files)
  --prefix PREFIX       Prefix added to kernel title to easy identification (defaults to 'kr/')

Python API

You can also use the library form a Python script or Jupyter notebook. It can be imported as kernel_run.

from kernel_run import create_kernel

create_kernel()

The arguments to create_kernel are identical to the CLI options:

def create_kernel(path_or_url, public=False, no_browser=False, new=False,
                  strip_output=False, prefix=DEFAULT_PREFIX, creds_path=None):
    """Instantly create and run a Kaggle kernel from a Jupyter notebook (local file or URL)

    Arguments:
        path_or_url (string): Path/URL to the Jupyter notebook
        public (bool, optional): If true, creates a public kernel. A private kernel
            is created by default.
        no_browser (bool, optional): If true, does not attempt to automatically open
            a browser tab to edit the created Kernel
        new (bool, optional): If true, creates a new Kernel by adding a random
            5-letter string at the end of the title
        prefix (string, optional): A prefix added to the Kernel title, to indicate that
            the Kernel was created using kernel-run
        creds_path (string, optional): Path to the 'kaggle.json' credentials file
            (defaults to '~/.kaggle/kaggle.json')
        strip_output (bool, optional): Clear output cells before uploading notebook.
