Overview

This package provides a set of package requirements that can be used to install a selection of JupyterLab extensions into a JupyterLab environment. A simple test function is also provided to check packages are installed.

NOTE that this extension should be installed into the Python environment that runs the JupyterLab server. This may NOT be the environment served by any of the Jupyter kernels.

The extensions have been selected to enhance a JupyterLab environment used to support the delivery of a distance education higher education module on database management and analysis.

The environment itself is provided via a browser accessed containerised virtual computing environment (VCE) available as an institutionally run hosted service, or as a locally run container.

The extensions fall broadly into the following categories:

• user-interface enhancements;

• file-type and file system support;

• programming / coding support.
