Host on PyPI #2

Closed ben-albrecht closed 5 years ago

ben-albrecht commented 5 years ago

Is it possible to host this as a pip package on PyPI so that a user can pip install it and it will be available to their Jupyter notebook kernels?

A quick pip search reveals existing kernels that do something like this:

coq-jupyter (1.4.0)                          - Coq kernel for Jupyter
jupyter-sql (0.1.0)                          - Simple SQL kernel for Jupyter
jupyter-kernel-singular (0.9.8)              - A Jupyter kernel for singular
jupyter-kernel-polymake (0.16)               - A Jupyter kernel for polymake
macaulay2-jupyter-kernel (0.6.7)             - Jupyter kernel for Macaulay2
jupyter-kernel-gap (0.15)                    - A Jupyter kernel for GAP
jupyter-fortran-kernel (0.1.0)               - Minimalistic Fortran kernel for Jupyter
sorna-jupyter-kernel (0.1.3)                 - Sorna Jupyter Kernel Integration
jupyter-kernel-mgmt (0.3.0)                  - Jupyter protocol implementation and client libraries

Clearly, there is not a standardized naming scheme. However, jupyter-kernel-chapel seems like the most popular option.

@ben-albrecht I will host it in pip.

@ben-albrecht I have hosted it in PyPI. For installing you can follow the readme or

pip3 install jupyter-kernel-chapel
install_chapel_kernel --user
ben-albrecht commented 5 years ago

Nice! Is it possible for the setup.py to do the install_chapel_kernel step automatically or is it separate for a specific reason?

Taking a glance at the fortran kernel repository, it looks like they require a similar post-installation command: jupyter-kernelspec install fortran_spec/.

Perhaps this is the norm for installing kernels?

Hey @ben-albrecht, Actually we are doing it internally rather than asking the user to do that https://github.com/krishnadey30/jupyter_kernel_chapel/blob/ce54fb7eedc3de9d853890e7908971f9b5ebbb55/jupyter-kernel-chapel/install_chapel_kernel#L33 But if you will check fortran is using json file and calling it from outside to install it.

Oh, so can a user skip this step?

> install_chapel_kernel --user

I'll try it out myself when I get a chance.

krishnadey30 commented 5 years ago

@ben-albrecht No, I don't think so. But I will try to find out some other ways for this.

krishnadey30 commented 5 years ago

@ben-albrecht I have made changes and now 

> install_chapel_kernel --user

is not needed.

ben-albrecht commented 5 years ago

That worked for me! Thanks!
