Agreed. More information would be nice to know, especially with JupyterLab 3 out, understanding the maintained status of this is important.
Thanks!
If not maintained, what is the current best alternative?
I don't think it's maintained anymore... Quantopian appears to have gone defunct in 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantopian
Does anyone know of an active fork?
I'd say that https://github.com/bloomberg/ipydatagrid is an awesome alternative...

That one is awesome. Thank you for the suggestion!
I see some activity on the forks by @8080labs ( https://github.com/8080labs/ipyslickgrid ) which got acquired by Databricks, so unclear future; and by @modin-project ( https://github.com/modin-project/modin-spreadsheet ) , which has lots of complicated dependencies. Here's some issues i am aware of:
I have cloned qgrid and spent a day learning it well enough to work with an up-to-date Jupyterlab. I prebuilt the extension and it seems to be working. I am not an expert JS coder, and more of a hacker, but I got it working. If we move over here, we could start maybe cleaning up some of the bugs in the code, but I will need other coders to help!
Thanks for the research @pankajp
I saw modin-spreadsheet
but it looks like they are tying it to the rest of their ecosystem (eg, you need to import modin.pandas
instead of just pandas
).
I'm more of a fan of ipyslickgrid
but I see that the project has disabled the Issues
tab.
I've created a new repo QgridNext to continue maintaining it. QgridNext is now compatible with recent releases of Jupyter and addressed many bugs found in Qgrid.
https://github.com/mwouts/itables seems to be the most popular alternative at this point, with https://github.com/bloomberg/ipydatagrid a close second.
I like the fact that ipydatagrid is maintained by Bloomberg, so it should be around for a while.
After testing I think I am going to use itables because it comes with a simple search field out of the box, which is probably my most common use case.
I see a significant number of PRs and issues with people making the effort to provide the desired details, but not much feedback or other activity.
