Testing if the notebook runs fine with pyodide-kernel

[kp992]

I am trying to see if I can automate the testing of .ipynb notebooks after they are served using jupyter-lite. The problem is given a python notebook, the script should output whether the execution completed successfully or not. When I installed using

pip install jupyterlite-pyodide-kernel

I can't see the kernel in the kernel list:

% jupyter kernelspec list
Available kernels:
  python3                     /Users/kpl/mambaforge/envs/qe/share/jupyter/kernels/python3
  xpython-raw                 /Users/kpl/mambaforge/envs/qe/share/jupyter/kernels/xpython-raw

How do I test the notebooks or how do I fix the installation to see this in kernel list.

[agriyakhetarpal]

A workaround, for now, could be in this form (if you use the Pyodide kernel):

# convert the notebook to a Python file
python -m pip install jupytext
python -m jupytext --to py your_notebook.ipynb # or py:percent if you like

# install Pyodide and activate
python -m pip install pyodide-build
pyodide xbuildenv install 0.27.0 # or your preferred Pyodide version
pyodide venv .venv-pyodide
source .venv-pyodide/bin/activate

# run the notebook as a Python file
python my_notebook.py

As a more robust solution, maybe it can be possible to run the notebook as one usually does – it would require making the Pyodide/Xeus kernels visible in the kernel list and making it possible for notebook testing tools like papermill or nbmake to connect to them.

Thank you. That did work till some extent. I not sure how to install packages like numpy? I am getting this error:

See https://pyodide.org/en/stable/usage/loading-packages.html for more details.

[agriyakhetarpal]

Ah – micropip implements a command-line interface that's highly similar to pip, so, in an activated Pyodide venv, you should be able to run pip install numpy to install NumPy. The await micropip.install(<...>) syntax is more relevant for running in the context of a browser.

[kp992]

Thanks @agriyakhetarpal for the response. Executing pip install on CLI does work, but is numba supported by pyodide?

I don't think we can install numba because of missing pure python wheels? Please correct me if I am wrong but I was able to install numba.

[agriyakhetarpal]

I don't think we can install numba because of missing pure python wheels?

Yes, @kp992, numba isn't supported yet in Pyodide. xref: pyodide/pyodide#621

Please correct me if I am wrong but I was able to install numba.

I think you mistyped or missed a word here – "(not) able to install numba"?

[kp992]

No, I was able to install.

[agriyakhetarpal]

Well, we certainly haven't compiled or added numba :)

[agriyakhetarpal]

Right, that means that the virtual environment was probably not activated correctly, or there's a bug on our side (slightly less likely), as it downloaded the macOS wheel in your case:

Using cached numba-0.60.0-cp311-cp311-macosx_11_0_arm64.whl (2.6 MB)

A wheel for Pyodide/WASM would have had the filename as numba-0.60.0-cp312-cp312-pyodide_2024_0_wasm32.whl

Could you please recreate the environment and try again, @kp992? I am unable to reproduce:

Thanks for that, @kp992 – I think there's some issue with it here:

pip 24.3.1 from /Users/kpl/repos/intro-wasm-demo/.venv-pyodide/lib/python3.11/site-packages/pip (python 3.11)

We use Python 3.12 for Pyodide 0.26.0 and 0.27.0, and

pip install numba

is likely pointing to some other pip that the virtual environment fails to rule over, perhaps, and therefore installing the macOS arm64 wheels for numba. However, you used python -m pip in #145 (comment), so it's baffling to me. I tried again, and I'm unable to reproduce with either python -m pip or pip on my machine. Could you please open a bug report at https://github.com/pyodide/pyodide-build if the error persists after deleting both the Pyodide virtual environment and the xbuildenv folder?
