How to use this libary in colab

dorisjlee commented 3 years ago

Hi @rizwannitk, Thank you for your interest in Lux. We have not yet tested Lux on Google Colab. Lux currently only works on the classic Jupyter notebook and we plan to support Jupyter Lab soon. If this is something that is really essential for you, please try it out on Colab and report any issues on Github.

Hi Doris, I tried it on Colab and it installs and loads fine but the toggle button fails to render any charting options. I am going through the fork to see if I can identify the issue.

dorisjlee commented 3 years ago

Thanks @taimur1871, let us know how it goes!

Seems like Google Colab doesn't support custom widgets yet https://github.com/googlecolab/colabtools/issues/498. Will probably have to wait until it does.

Noticed the below error while installing LUX in Google Collab. Lux_Google_Colab_Issue

Will appreciate your help !

dorisjlee commented 3 years ago

Hi @Sateesh110, Thanks for your question! Lux is not currently supported for Google Colab (since custom widgets are not yet supported in Colab). For now, you can use Lux alongside Jupyter notebook and Jupyter Lab (see setup instructions here). If you would like to just try out Lux without installing locally, here is a Binder link to a live notebook. Let us know if this works for you!

A helpful related discussion about not trying to build support for proprietary colab APIs one by one into jupyter extensions https://github.com/QuantStack/ipycytoscape/issues/148

Pandas profiling does have support for colab, maybe their implementation could be of help?

charlie17 commented 3 years ago

This looks like a significant update?

dwootton commented 2 years ago

Lux is working in colab!

As @charlie17 linked to, you need to enable custom widgets like: from google.colab import output output.enable_custom_widget_manager()
