Using pybricksdev with Jupyter notebooks

Here are some tips on using pybricksdev with Jupyter notebooks.

  • Create a virtual environment for hosting the kernel (remember pybricksdev is Python 3.8 only!).
  • Use apt, brew, pipx, etc. and not pip for installing notebook server globally.
  • Required packages for kernel: pybricksdev, ipykernel, ipywidgets
  • Recommended packages for kernel: matplotlib
  • Create a named kernel: python -m ipykernel install --user --name=pybricksdev
  • Required packages for notebook server (classic): notebook, widgetsnbextension
  • Required packages for notebook server (new): jupyterlab, jupyterlab_widgets
  • Enable widgets for progress bars (should only be needed for older versions): jupyter nbextension enable --py widgetsnbextension
  • Start a notebook server (classic): jupyter notebook
  • Start a notebook server (new): jupyter lab
  • Can use VS Code ms-toolsai.jupyter extension instead of installing and running your own server.
