Python Jupyter kernel using Poetry for reproducible notebooks

Overview

Poetry Kernel

Use per-directory Poetry environments to run Jupyter kernels. No need to install a Jupyter kernel per Python virtual environment!

The idea behind this project is to allow you to capture the exact state of your environment. This means you can email your work to your peers, and they'll have exactly the same set of packages that you do! Reproducibility!

Why not virtual environments (venvs)?

Virtual environments were (and are) an important advancement to Python's package management story, but they have a few shortcomings:

  • They are not great for reproducibility. Usually, you'll create a new virtual environment using a requirements.txt which includes all the direct dependencies (numpy, pandas, etc.), but not transient dependencies (pandas depends on pytz for timezone support, for example). And usually, even the direct dependencies are specified only as minimum (or semver) ranges (e.g., numpy>=1.21) which can make it hard or impossible to accurately recreate the venv later.
  • With Jupyter, they usually require that the kernels be installed globally. This means you'll need need to have a separate kernelspec for every venv you want to use with Jupyter.

Poetry uses venvs transparently under the hood by constructing them from the pyproject.toml and poetry.lock files. The poetry.lock file records the exact state of dependencies (and transient dependencies) and can be used to more accurately reproduce the environment.

Additionally, Poetry Kernel means you only have to install one kernelspec. It then uses the pyproject.toml file from the directory of the notebook (or any parent directory) to choose which environment to run the notebook in.

Shameless plug

The reason we created this package was to make sure that the code environments created for running student code on Pathbird exactly match your development environment. Interested in developing interactive, engaging, inquiry-based lessons for your students? Check out Pathbird for more information!

Usage

  1. Install Poetry if not yet installed.
  2. Install this package:
    # NOTE: Do **NOT** install this package in your Poetry project, it should be
    # installed at the system or user level.
    pip3 install --user poetry-kernel
  3. Initialize a Poetry project (only required if you do not have an existing Poetry project ready to use):
    poetry init -n
  4. IMPORTANT: Add ipykernel to your project's dependencies:
    # In the directory of your Poetry project
    poetry add ipykernel
  5. Start a "Poetry" Jupyter kernel and see it in action! Jupyter launcher screenshot

Troubleshooting

Kernel isn't starting ("No Kernel" message)

Pro-tip: Check the output of the terminal window where you launched Jupyter. It will usually explain why the kernel is failing to start.

  1. Make sure that you are launching a notebook in a directory/folder that contains a Poetry project (pyproject.toml and poetry.lock files). You can turn a directory into a Poetry project by running:
poetry init -n
  1. Make sure that you've installed ipykernel into your project:
poetry add ipykernel
  1. Make sure the Poetry project is installed! This is especially important for projects that you have downloaded from others (warning: installing a Poetry project could run arbitrary code on your computer, make sure you trust your download first!):

    poetry install
  2. Still can't figure it out? Open an issue!

A package I added won't import properly

If you added the package after starting the kernel, you might need to restart the kernel for it to see the new package.

    Hey, cool project!

    I got the following error, not sure how informative it is for you. Happy to dig into logs etc. I'm using a Gitpod workspace with a public github repo too, so could potentially offer a completely reproducible clean environment.

  • poetry-kernel uses Jupyter env instead of notebook env

    poetry-kernel uses Jupyter env instead of notebook env

    If a poetry pyproject.toml is used to create the environment for the Jupyter lab (adding poetry-kernel as a dependency), then no matter in which working directory the jupyter server is started, any notebook that is opened with the "poetry" kernel will have the Jupyter environment, not the environment of the notebook's project.

    Minimal example: https://github.com/drakesiardxy/poetry-kernel-bug To replicate: Create the jupyer-base env and the kernel_a env separately, then start the jupyter server with the first environment and attempt to run kernel_a.ipynb using the "Poetry" kernel. pandas will be missing, because the notebook will have been launched with the environment of the server, not the environment belonging to the notebook's project.

  • Is it possible to make poetry-kernel work with JupyterHub?

    Is it possible to make poetry-kernel work with JupyterHub?

    Hi!

    We have a multi-user JupyterHub instance and we would like to use your library. So far we have only been able to see the poetry-kernel button in the kernel selection screen by installing poetry kernel at the user level (if we install poetry kernel from the user that launches JupyterHub, the root user, the button does not show). But the problem that we have is that when we press the poetry button and create a new notebook in a folder with a poetry project (and ipykernel installed), the kernel is never connected so no code can be executed. The generated logs are the following:

    This looks like poetry is not being found by the library although it is indeed installed both at the root and user level. Is there a way to solve this? Or is this case out of the scope of the library for now?
