marimo 0.2.0

A library for making reactive notebooks and apps

A reactive Python notebook that's reproducible, git-friendly, and deployable as scripts or apps.

Docs · Discord · Examples

marimo is a reactive notebook for Python. It allows you to rapidly experiment with data and models, code with confidence in your notebook's correctness, and productionize notebooks as pipelines or interactive web apps.

Highlights.

• reactive: run a cell, and marimo automatically updates all affected cells and outputs
• interactive: bind sliders, tables, plots, and more to Python — no callbacks required
• reproducible: no hidden state, deterministic execution order
• executable: execute as a Python script
• shareable: deploy as an app
• git-friendly: stored as .py files

A reactive programming environment

marimo guarantees your notebook code, outputs, and program state are consistent. This solves many problems associated with traditional notebooks like Jupyter.

A reactive programming environment. Run a cell and marimo reacts by automatically running the cells that reference its variables, eliminating the error-prone task of manually re-running cells. Delete a cell and marimo scrubs its variables from program memory, eliminating hidden state.

Deterministic execution order. Notebooks are executed in a deterministic order, based on variable references instead of cells' positions on the page. Organize your notebooks to best fit the stories you'd like to tell.

Synchronized UI elements. Interact with UI elements like sliders, dropdowns, and dataframe transformers, and the cells that use them are automatically re-run with their latest values.

Performant runtime. marimo runs only those cells that need to be run by statically analyzing your code. You can optionally disable expensive cells to prevent them from automatically running.

Batteries-included. marimo comes with GitHub Copilot, Black code formatting, HTML export, fast code completion, a VS Code extension, and many more quality-of-life features.

Quickstart

Installation. In a terminal, run

pip install marimo  # or conda install -c conda-forge marimo
marimo tutorial intro

Create notebooks. Create an empty notebook with

marimo edit

or create/edit a notebook with a given name with

marimo edit your_notebook.py

Run apps. Run your notebook as a web app, with Python code hidden and uneditable:

marimo run your_notebook.py

This app is deployed on marimo cloud.

Execute as scripts. marimo notebooks can be executed as scripts at the command line:

python your_notebook.py

Automatically convert Jupyter notebooks. Automatically convert Jupyter notebooks to marimo notebooks with the CLI

marimo convert your_notebook.ipynb > your_notebook.py

or use our web interface.

Inspiration ✨

marimo is a reinvention of the Python notebook as a reproducible, interactive, and shareable Python program, instead of an error-prone JSON scratchpad.

We believe that the tools we use shape the way we think — better tools, for better minds. With marimo, we hope to provide the Python community with a better programming environment to do research and communicate it; to experiment with code and share it; to learn computational science and teach it.

Our inspiration comes from many places and projects, especially Pluto.jl, ObservableHQ, and Bret Victor's essays. marimo is part of a greater movement toward reactive dataflow programming. From IPyflow, streamlit, TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, and React, the ideas of functional, declarative, and reactive programming are transforming a broad range of tools for the better.
