Voila

Rendering of live Jupyter notebooks with interactive widgets.

Introduction

Voila serves live Jupyter notebook including Jupyter interactive widgets.

Unlike the usual HTML-converted notebooks, each user connecting to the Voila tornado application gets a dedicated Jupyter kernel which can execute the callbacks to changes in Jupyter interactive widgets.

• By default, voila disallows execute requests from the front-end, disabling the ability to execute arbitrary code.
• By defaults, voila runs with the strip_source option, which strips out the input cells from the rendered notebook.

When using these default settings, the code powering the Jupyter notebook is never sent to the front-end.

Usage

To render the bqplot example notebook as a Voila app, run

voila bqplot.ipynb
