JupyterLab Desktop

February 2023

 

I tried installing JuypterLab Desktop v3.6.1-1 under Windows 11 OS but if failed to work properly!.  

Any attempt to configure a 'Default Python environment' causes the application to stop working, forcing me to uninstall it and start over.   I tried to set the path to a working Python executable, but that failed to work.  

 

Jupyter Notebook is a web-based interactive computing platform. The notebook combines live code, equations, narrative text, visualizations, ..   A notebook integrates code and its output into a single document.   The output can include any output that is generated by Python, including visualizations.

Visual Studio Code is an IDE designed for programmers.   Since 2020 a integrated Jupyter Extension is available that shows you code on the left, and the output on the right. &nbap; The advantages are GIT Versioning and debugging that are integrated into VS Code.  

Personally, I am not impressed.   You get the advantage of running Python scripts (not Jupyter notebook files) and the output appearing in a separate window.   But you cannot break up the code into subroutines and then run any Jupyter cells.   If you create a Jupyter notebook file with the code, then the output is at the end of the file (not in a separate window).   This is the better option, but it still isn't a fantastic solution.
