I could not get the notebook to run. Even after I updated the first cell to

import piplite
await piplite.install(['panel', 'altair', 'pyodide_http'])
                       
import pyodide_http
pyodide_http.patch_all()  # Patch all libraries

Getting this traceback:

I got the notebook to run with the following:

import piplite
await piplite.install(['panel', 'altair', 'pyodide_http'])
                       
import pyodide_http
pyodide_http.patch_all() 

import panel as pn
pn.extension('vega', comms="default")  # comms will be fixed in this PR

import altair as alt
import pandas as pd

import bokeh.models.sources
bokeh.models.sources.pd = pd

df = pd.read_json("https://raw.githubusercontent.com/vega/vega/master/docs/data/penguins.json")

brush = alt.selection_interval(name='brush')  # selection of type "interval"

chart = alt.Chart(df).mark_point().encode(
    x=alt.X('Beak Length (mm):Q', scale=alt.Scale(zero=False)),
    y=alt.Y('Beak Depth (mm):Q', scale=alt.Scale(zero=False)),
    color=alt.condition(brush, 'Species:N', alt.value('lightgray'))
).properties(
    width=250,
    height=250
).add_selection(
    brush
)

vega_pane = pn.pane.Vega(chart, debounce=10)

def filtered_table(selection):
    if selection is None:
        return '## No selection'
    query = ' & '.join(
        f'{crange[0]:.3f} <= `{col}` <= {crange[1]:.3f}'
        for col, crange in selection.items()
    )
    return pn.pane.DataFrame(df.query(query), width=600)

pn.Column(
    'Select points on the plot and watch the linked table update.',
    sizing_mode='stretch_width'
)# .servable()  <- Does not work if this is served. 
pn.Row(
    vega_pane,
    pn.Column(
        pn.bind(filtered_table, vega_pane.selection.param.brush),
        scroll=True, width=650, height=300
    )

Instructions for building the Jupyterlite are as follows:

python ./scripts/build_pyodide_wheels.py lite/pypi
python ./scripts/generate_panelite_content.py
jupyter lite build --lite-dir lite --output-dir lite/dist

[MarcSkovMadsen]

Will we always have to make a special build to support Panel?

Or will it be supported in default build of Jupyter lite some day?

[jbednar]

It sounds pretty complicated still!

[philippjfr]

Will we always have to make a special build to support Panel?

Unless we can convince Jupyterlite folks to add pyviz_comms as a default extension this will indeed always be necessary.

Some more comments:

• lite/ and .jupyterlite.doit.db should be added to .gitignore.
• ../assets should be copied, so images are in the notebook. (user_guide/Performance_and_Debugging.ipynb)
• pn.panel('Hello').app('localhost:8888') does not work. (user_guide/Display_and_Export.ipynb)
• Threading.start() does not work. (user_guide/Async_and_Concurrency.ipynb)
• croniter install missing. (user_guide/Session_State_and_Callbacks.ipynb)
• sample_template.html missing. (user_guide/Templates.ipynb)

I like the idea of the script folder and want it to be used more and not necessarily limited to python files. Like why not have a build_jupyter_lite.sh which contains the build process below? This shell script can then be called from the Github action.

python ./scripts/build_pyodide_wheels.py lite/pypi
python ./scripts/generate_panelite_content.py
jupyter lite build --lite-dir lite --output-dir lite/dist

Maybe in a future PR, a more selective list of imports can be done per notebook for the piplite install, so it does not import a lot of unnecessary imports in all notebooks.

I just tried panelite.holoviz.org and it does not work for me. I guess you know ?

Hasn't been redeployed in over 6 months. That said it works fine as long as you don't try to install ipywidgets (OR pin ipywidgets<8)
