Enhanced Python Support

Elyra provides Enhanced Python Support where Python scripts can be developed and executed. It also leverages the Hybrid Runtime Support to enable running these scripts in remote environments.

The execution of the python script leverages the available Python based Kernels. This enables users to run their scripts in different configurations and environments.

Python script execution support

• In the Jupyter Lab Launcher, click the Python File icon to create a new Python Script.
• When used in conjunction with Jupyter Enterprise Gateway, the dropdown will be populated with more kernel options, allowing users to run their scripts with remote kernels with more specialized resources.
• To run your script locally, select the python3 option in the dropdown menu, and click the Run icon.

Python Editor related components

The Elyra python editor is based on the JupyterLab editor which is currently based on CodeMirror.
