Feature: run local DO model (under development)

[victorterpstra]

Run a DO model based on a local class or notebook. This allows us to use the dashboard for development and debugging of a DO model.

• Use the dash long-callback feature
• DO model could be a class (i.e. subclass of OptimizationModel), and/or
• DO model from notebook.

To run a notebook:

• Requires similar extraction of code from notebook as in DO Experiment
• Omit any cell that starts with #dd-ignore
• Provide the inputs
• Extract the outputs
• Use nbconvert or nbformat to extract the code
• https://nbconvert.readthedocs.io/en/latest/
• https://nbformat.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html

Some additional notes on running a script:

1. Extract code from notebook (using nbconvert or nbformat)
2. Run the extracted script using exec:

   with open("somefile.py") as f:
   code = compile(f.read(), "somefile.py", 'exec')
   exec(code, global_vars, local_vars)
