A little wrapper around `uv` to launch ephemeral Jupyter notebooks.

Project description

juv

A little wrapper around uv to launch ephemeral Jupyter notebooks.

uvx juv
# A wrapper around uv to launch ephemeral Jupyter notebooks.
#
# Usage: juv [uvx flags] <COMMAND>[@version] [PATH]
#
# Commands:
#   lab: Launch JupyterLab
#   notebook: Launch Jupyter Notebook
#   nbclassic: Launch Jupyter Notebook Classic
#
# Examples:
#   uvx juv lab script.py
#   uvx juv nbclassic script.py
#   uvx juv notebook existing_notebook.ipynb
#   uvx juv --python=3.8 notebook@6.4.0 script.ipynb

juv has three main commands:

  • juv lab launches a Jupyter Lab session
  • juv notebook launches a classic notebook session
  • juv nbclassic launches a classic notebook session

These commands accept a single argument: the path to the notebook or script to launch. A script will be converted to a notebook before launching.

uvx juv lab script.py # creates script.ipynb

Any flags that are passed prior to the command (e.g., uvx juv --with=polars lab) will be forwarded to uvx as-is. This allows you to specify additional dependencies, a different interpreter, etc.

what

PEP 723 (inline script metadata) allows specifying dependencies as comments within Python scripts, enabling self-contained, reproducible execution. This feature could significantly improve reproducibility in the data science ecosystem, since many analyses are shared as standalone code (not packages). However, a lot of data science code lives in notebooks (.ipynb files), not Python scripts (.py files).

juv bridges this gap by:

  • Extending PEP 723-style metadata support from uv to Jupyter notebooks
  • Launching Jupyter sessions with the specified dependencies

It's a simple Python script that parses the notebook and starts a Jupyter session with the specified dependencies (piggybacking on uv's existing functionality).

alternatives

juv is opinionated and might not suit your preferences. That's ok! uv is super extensible, and I recommend reading the wonderful documentation to learn about its primitives.

For example, you can achieve a similar workflow using the --with-requirements flag:

uvx --with-requirements=requirements.txt --from=jupyter-core --with=jupyterlab jupyter lab notebook.ipynb

While slightly more verbose and breaking self-containment, this approach totally works and saves you from installing another dependency.
