streamlit-notebook 0.0.3

A notebook interface for Streamlit.

Streamlit Notebook

streamlit_notebook is a reactive notebook interface for Streamlit.

Pretty much like a Jupyter notebook, you can create and run Code cells (supporting Streamlit commands) or Markdown cells. These cells will be executed dynamically and rendered under each cell box.

The main difference with a Jupyter notebook is that the notebook is reactive: Any UI event modifying the value of a variable gets immediately reflected in the python code and vice versa.

The execution flow follows the same logic as a Streamlit script, where each cell gets re-executed in order each time the UI triggers an event. Most notably, the python session gets reinitialized every new loop and all variables/objects that have not been saved in st.session_state will be lost at the end of the current run, and redefined in the next which is somewhat different from what one would expect in a persistent Python session.

This notebook is meant to be fully compatible with Streamlit and doesn't introduce any specific logic beyond standard Streamlit functionning. All Streamlit commands should work out of the box. If it's not the case, it should be reported as a bug.

I hope users already familiar with Streamlit will have great fun with this notebook.

Features

• Switch to "App" mode by hiding code cells and notebook specific controls.
• Create and delete cells easily, move cells up and down, control how they execute.
• Create reactive Markdown cells by adding formatting tags <<my_expression>> that let you insert the current value of any global / state variable or evaluated expression into the text.
• The whole notebook UI can be controled dynamically from code cells. You can refer to the notebook object as st.notebook from within the session.

Installation

pip install streamlit-notebook

Usage

You may open a new notebook from anywhere by just running st_notebook in the terminal.

You may as well create a python file like so :

# notebook.py
from streamlit_notebook import st_notebook

st_notebook()

and run it using streamlit run notebook.py from the terminal.

The st_notebook() function imported from the package is a complete app in itself rather than a single component, and only serves as an entry point.

The app is also available online here
