Remove QGrid from Datahub and add Modin in Biology Hub

Open yuvipanda opened this issue 3 years ago • 12 comments

Per @ericvd-ucb, MCB32 still uses qgrid. However, qgrid is basically abandoned, and doesn't work with ipywidgets 8.x

https://github.com/berkeley-dsep-infra/datahub/pull/3620 adds it back, but we should have MCB32 move to something else.

  • [x] @ericvd-ucb to provide context about the use case!

Some background - this is used by Prof Robin Ball Main repo is here https://github.com/ds-modules/MCB-32 QGrid is called in a Python script external to notebooks https://github.com/ds-modules/MCB-32/blob/master/lab05/qgrid_bridge.py

The point is that student are introduced to tables, then they enter data into a table from a lab, then they use their own lab data to explore topics such as visualization on, regression, prediction

I think the solution might be https://github.com/QuantStack/ipysheet

@ericvd-ucb yes that looks like a good replacement! Should I add it to datahub?

@yuvipanda @ericvd-ucb There was also ipydatagrid which was presented at Bloomberg recently, https://github.com/bloomberg/ipydatagrid. (just fyi, I've no opinion)

hmm that looks better I guess we should work on rebuilding the notebooks and then... figure out which one is better and install that

@elias326 did a detailed analysis for the instructor to recommend the ideal replacement for Qgrid. He has chosen ipysheet and Eric VD recommended ipydatagrid to replace QGrid. Our next step here is to figure out ways to install both packages in the biology hub image.

I am currently waiting on approval from the instructor to move forward.

  • [x] Tag Peter when we have some clarity about the requirement?
  • [x] Write an email to Robin Ball

Instructor needs to decide the package and then use it only during summer (by mid June)! So - scoping this request for May!

balajialg avatar Mar 02 '23 20:03 balajialg

Instructor confirmed that they are interested to use ipydatagrid package as a replacement for qgrid! We need to scope this for the month of May.

Jonathan Ferrari recommends to use Modin package for this course. He will update this GitHub issue to install the package when the notebook is ready for deployment in the bio hub.

ipydatagrid is now part of Project Jupyter
