JupyterLab
#1

Release candidates are now available for JupyterLab 3.0, and can be installed with pip and conda!

pip

python -m pip install jupyterlab --pre

conda / mamba

conda install -c conda-forge/label/jupyterlab_rc -c conda-forge/label/jupyterlab_server_rc -c conda-forge jupyterlab=3

Alternatively there is also this gist to test on Binder directly:

Binder

The gist will be updated to target the latest release candidate.

Changelog: https://jupyterlab.readthedocs.io/en/latest/getting_started/changelog.html

Happy testing!

One of the main changes for the 3.0 release is the Single Document Mode that has been improved.

This topic of having a “lighter” and simpler UI for JupyterLab has been discussed here on Discourse several times:

So an issue has been opened to collect feedback: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/9117

beautiful! thanks very much for sharing.

This is great! I noticed in your gist you’ve got

- jupyterlab-python-file  # JupyterLab extension installed with conda (no end user build)

Do you have a guide on how to convert a JupyterLab 2 extension to a pip-installable JupyterLab 3 one that doesn’t require a build step? This is something that came up in repo2docker: https://github.com/jupyterhub/repo2docker/issues/964

Yes, the goal of the gist is also to showcase how to ship lab extensions with conda.

There will be a guide available soon, currently tracked in https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/issues/9118

In the meantime you might want to have a look at the 3.0 branch of the extension examples repo: https://github.com/jupyterlab/extension-examples/tree/3.0

Which have been updated to target the latest RCs.

Or even at the source for the python file extension, which is a rather simple extension: https://github.com/jtpio/jupyterlab-python-file

Normally upgrading should almost of running the upgrade script (thanks Steve for this!).

The single document mode is amazing!! And thanks for putting together the demo because that meant I tried it right away instead of putting “try jupyterlab v3” on my list of things to do when I have “a spare moment” :smiley:

Some updates:

  • A couple of other release candidates have been released, with the latest one RC 7 today. It can be tested using the same instructions, or the Binder link above (or right below), and contains improvements to the single document mode:

Hi,
I have installed the RC on raspberryPi it works perfectly on standalone screen but I cannot use it through jupyterhub. it seems not to be a big problem (see workaround a bit further) I report here in case it may help (moon is my jupyter guest user :wink:) .

[I 2020-11-25 21:48:25.061 ServerApp] 302 GET /user/moon/ (127.0.0.1) 4.12ms
[W 2020-11-25 21:48:25.064 JupyterHub _version:41] Single-user server has no version header, which means it is likely < 0.8. Expected 1.2.1

The error message on the web browser is a 404

404 : Not Found
You are requesting a page that does not exist!
## here is the padge adress
https://192.168.10.28:8000/user/moon?

Workaround : start jupyterhub with notebook and change the web address to :
https://192.168.10.28:8000/user/moon/lab?
instead of
https://192.168.10.28:8000/user/moon/tree?
you get the jlab3 interface :crazy_face: .
Thanks for the work
