read and write CSVs in the local folder

[pablocastilla]

Hi,

First of all... this is great, keep pushing!

And, although I have seen a few issues that are quite similar, I want to explain my use case that doesn't work and I see it as a core one:

• From vscode opening a local folder: -- read a csv from the local folder using pandas -- work with it -- save the result to another file in the folder <-- this also didn't work for me.

When people can do this, I think it will be the best tool for learning python or casual programming.

Thanks

Thank you for trying out the extension, and for filing the issue! I agree that this would be a useful feature. 👍

Potentially related to jupyterlite #403 (cc: @jtpio).

@pablocastilla I agree. Meanwhile, you can try loading CSV from public sources via https.

I tried that with CSVs in public repos and public Chicago city data this summer in pyolite notebooks and that part worked great.

@dynamicwebpaige thanks for linking us to the ticket on filesystem api support in jupyterlite!
