Customizing the Jupyter notebook¶

These are strictly optional.

1. Creating a startup script¶

It is convenient to have a bunch of default imports and set up inline plotting automatically. Here’s how to do it.

Create an ipython profile¶

In [1]:

! ipython profile create

Edit the next cell to set your defaults, then execute it.¶

In [2]:

%%file ~/.ipython/profile_default/startup/start.ipy

import os
import sys
import glob
import operator as op
import itertools as it
from functools import reduce, partial
import numpy as np
import pandas as pd
from pandas import DataFrame, Series
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
sns.set_context("notebook", font_scale=1.5)
%matplotlib inline

Stop and restart your Jupyter kernel¶

2. Change keybindings to emacs¶

In [3]:

! pip install jupyter-emacskeys

Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): jupyter-emacskeys in /Users/cliburn/anaconda2/envs/p3/lib/python3.5/site-packages
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): ipython>=4 in /Users/cliburn/anaconda2/envs/p3/lib/python3.5/site-packages (from jupyter-emacskeys)
Requirement already satisfied (use --upgrade to upgrade): notebook>=4 in /Users/cliburn/anaconda2/envs/p3/lib/python3.5/site-packages (from jupyter-emacskeys)
You are using pip version 8.1.1, however version 8.1.2 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'pip install --upgrade pip' command.

3. Install slide mode (RISE)¶

In [4]:

%%bash

git clone https://github.com/damianavila/RISE.git
cd RISE
python setup.py install

fatal: destination path 'RISE' already exists and is not an empty directory.

4. Install Calico extensions (see videos for what they do)¶

This will not work in the Docker container as you do not have the appropriate permissions. However, you can do this for your local installation if you wish.

In [5]:

import IPython

Spell-check¶

In [6]:

IPython.display.YouTubeVideo("Km3AtRynWFQ")

Out[6]:

Document tools¶

In [7]:

IPython.display.YouTubeVideo("YbM8rrj-Bms")

Out[7]:

Cell tools¶

In [8]:

IPython.display.YouTubeVideo("WwoTzvOkEJQ")

Out[8]:

Execute the next 2 cells to install spell-check, document and cell tools¶
