streamlit-jupyter

Simple Python package to preview and develop streamlit apps in jupyter notebooks

CI Badge Open Streamlit App

Install

pip install streamlit_jupyter

How to use

Take a look at our example notebook, streamlit version runs here

The main idea is for you do experiment and develop in your notebook, visually see all the pieces, and then convert the notebook to .py to be run by streamlit

start by importing streamlit and patching it with streamlit-jupyter:

import streamlit as st

from streamlit_jupyter import StreamlitPatcher, tqdm

StreamlitPatcher().jupyter()  # register streamlit with jupyter-compatible wrappers

And now develop your notebook as usual, but with the ability to use Streamlit widgets and components.

See how it works below, and check out the example notebook

Currently unsupported methods

Most of the other methods are not supported yet.

If you need any of them, you have one of 2 options:

  • please open an issue or a PR

  • use them in your notebook regardless, they will still work once you convert your notebook to streamlit. You just won’t be able to preview them in jupyter.
