Can somebody familiar with #JupyterLab or #JupyterNotebook please tell me why the top cell in this notebook doesn't render the HTML, when the other two cells do? Everything I'm reading online suggests it should render it. https://gist.github.com/mattcen/c5db6e729dfe9e949596ffb87207cb1b
In the "Rich representation" section of this notebook (https://jupyterlite.github.io/demo/lab?path=.%2Fpython.ipynb) it does something similar and Just Works (obviously that's #Pyodide rather than CPython, but I don't think that should matter).
I am guessing maybe there's a library I haven't installed; for this example I just created a new virtual environment and installed jupyterlab and nothing else. #Jupyter#IPython
@allanchain Thanks for your suggestions! Doing a jupyter lab build just rebuilds the client-side JavaScript as I understand it (and having just tried it, I can see that's the majority of the files that got created in jupyter/), and this is definitely a server-side issue since Python is the bit sending back the output. This suggestion didn't work for me unfortunately.
Using Docker (specifically the jupyter/minimal-notebook image) did the trick though, so thanks for that! Now I just need to work out what's different between those environments!
@KathyReid Thanks for the input, Kathy! I just installed all of these in my venv and restarted Jupyter, and it still doesn't display the HTML! What the heck is going on!? Guess I'll keep digging. 🙂
Thanks again!
@mattcen hi, I did a quick search for you and I'm not sure if this will work, but maybe try passing raw=True in. Seems to me like your function call is returning an HTML python object instead of your rendered HTML? This might be exactly what you meant, in which case I'm sorry.. https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/generated/IPython.display.html
Could be wrong, was just interested as I've been meaning to use IPython.display more as it looks really useful. Please let me know if so.
@somewheresouth thanks; I'd already read that page, and indeed you can see from the rest of the examples that does indeed work, but it should also work without that according to all I've read, which is frustrating.
