Sidecar

A lightweight viewer of Jupyter output to run next to your terminal session.

Installation

cargo install sidecar

Usage

In a jupyter console session with Python, run:

import subprocess
from ipykernel.connect import get_connection_file

connection_file = get_connection_file()

sidecar = subprocess.Popen(
    ["sidecar", "--quiet", connection_file],
    stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE
)

That will open a separate window showing the output of your Jupyter session.

It even works with anywidgets like quak!

%load_ext quak
import polars as pl
df = pl.read_parquet(
    "https://github.com/uwdata/mosaic/raw/main/data/athletes.parquet"
)
df
