Configuration

Pre-installed packages

xeus-python allows you to pre-install packages in the Python runtime. You can pre-install packages by passing the XeusPythonEnv.packages CLI option to jupyter lite build.

Note

This will automatically install any labextension that it founds, for example installing ipyleaflet will make ipyleaflet work without the need to manually install the jupyter-leaflet labextension.

For example, say you want to install NumPy, Matplotlib and ipyleaflet, it can be done with the following command:

jupyter lite build --XeusPythonEnv.packages=numpy,matplotlib,ipyleaflet

The same can be achieved through a jupyterlite_config.json file:

{
    "XeusPythonEnv": {
        "packages": ["numpy", "matplotlib", "ipyleaflet"]
    }
}

Then those packages are usable directly:
