pyxel-config-lab-bridge 0.2.2

A Python bridge that opens the Pyxel Config Lab UI directly inside Jupyter Notebooks.

Pyxel Config Lab Bridge🪐

Pyxel Config Lab Bridge is a lightweight Python connector that allows Jupyter Notebooks to communicate with the Pyxel Config Lab JupyterLab extension.
It sends a command from Python to open the Pyxel Config Lab interface inside your JupyterLab environment.

---

✨ Features

• Opens the Pyxel Config Lab UI directly from a notebook cell.
• No JavaScript needed — pure Python bridge using Jupyter’s comms.
• Easy to install and distribute.

---

🧩 Installation

1. Install via pip

pip install pyxel-config-lab-bridge

If you’re developing locally:

pip install -e .

2. Ensure the Pyxel Config Lab JupyterLab extension is installed

jupyter labextension install pyxel-config-lab

---

🚀 Usage

In any Jupyter Notebook cell:

from pyxel_config_lab_bridge import open_pyxel_config_lab

open_pyxel_config_lab()

This will open the Pyxel Config Lab panel directly in your JupyterLab workspace.

---

🧠 How It Works

The bridge uses Jupyter’s comms (ipykernel.comm.Comm) to send a small message to the frontend extension.
Once received, the frontend triggers the pyxel-config-lab:open command — which opens the Pyxel Config Lab iframe view.
