Requirements

  • python >=3.8

Compatibility

With Jupyter

status jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel jupyterlite-core jupyterlab notebook retrolab
pre 0.4.* >=0.4,<0.5 >=4.2.0,<4.3 >=7.2.0,<7.3 -
stable 0.3.* >=0.3,<0.4 >=4.1.1,<4.2 >=7.1.0,<7.2 -
stable 0.2.* >=0.2,<0.3 >=4.0.7,<4.1 >=7.0.5,<8 -
stable 0.1.* >=0.1,<0.2 >=3.5,<3.6 - >=0.3,<0.4

Installing the matching version of JupyterLab with your package manager can help ensure matching labextension assets and kernel dependencies, even though this kernel does not yet work in a full, jupyter_server-hosted client such as JupyterLab or Notebook.

With Pyodide

jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel pyodide python emscripten
>=0.1.0,<=0.1.1 0.23.* 3.10.* 3.1.29
>=0.1.2,<=0.2.1 0.24.* 3.10.* 3.1.45
>=0.2.2,<=0.2.3 0.25.* 3.11.* 3.1.46
>=0.3.*,<=0.4.0 0.25.* 3.11.* 3.1.46
>=0.4.*,<=0.5.0 0.26.* 3.12.* 3.1.58

Note that the Emscripten version is strict down to the bugfix version.

Install

To install the Pyodide kernel labextension and the CLI addons for jupyter lite, run:

pip install jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel

or with conda, mamba, micromamba, etc.

conda install -c conda-forge jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel

For more options see the development install or contributing guide.

Usage

Build a JupyterLite site:

jupyter lite build

Some new CLI options are also available:

jupyter lite --help

This should show something like this:

  --piplite-wheels=<typedtuple-item-1>...
      Local paths or URLs of piplite-compatible wheels to copy and index
      Default: ()
      Equivalent to: [--PipliteAddon.piplite_urls]
  --pyodide=<Unicode>
      Local path or URL of a pyodide distribution tarball
      Default: ''
      Equivalent to: [--PyodideAddon.pyodide_url]

⚠️ The documentation for advanced configuration is available from the main JupyterLite documentation site:

Uninstall

To remove the extension, run:

pip uninstall jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel  # or however you installed it

Prerelease Versions

To install pre-release versions with pip:

pip install --upgrade --pre jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel

Or, similarly for the conda ecosystem, for alpha packages:

conda install \
  -c conda-forge/label/jupyterlite_core_alpha \
  -c conda-forge/label/jupyterlite_pyodide_kernel_alpha \
  -c conda-forge \
  jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel

Note: _beta and _rc packages would follow a similar channel naming convention

Development Install

Below is an short overview of getting up and running quickly. Please see the contributing guide for full details.
