Goal: When using Jupyter how are python packages managed?

Where are Python Packages Installed During a Jupyter Session?

You can use pip list -v and conda list to inspect what is in your environment.

Example using the default Python kernel:

# Cell
import sys
print(sys.version)

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

Notice there are two paths:

  1. The library path of the conda environment that this default kernel is running from: /apps/s/jupyterlab/miniconda3/lib/python3.12/site-packages

  2. Your local home library path related to the version of Python within this kernel: /home/salexan5/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages

Can I pip install?

Yes. And this will installed into your local home under the appropriate library/version folder.

Remember: Any previously install Python packages under this location will be available to your notebook.

Any installs/updates within the notebook will thus also affect any other Python environments you have that use this location and packages.

This could cause issues with dependencies and versions.

Can I Use Conda Within My Notebook?

Yes and no…

Note: you may need to restart the kernel to use updated packages.

You can use conda commands within cells to inspect and search.

You will not have permissions to conda install since you do not own this folder, so do not have permissions to install/update anything within it.

But, you should have permissions if you have created the kernel, own it, and thus have permissions.

Jupyter Sessions

When you start a Jupyter session via OnDemand, you get a Session ID, which also creates a corresponding folder within your home:

image-20240806-144730.png

Clicking on the Session ID link will open up a new tab:

image-20240806-144836.png

Or, you can navigate to it via the command-line:

[salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ ls ondemand/data/sys/dashboard/batch_connect/sys/jupyter/form/output/8c0766ae-b302-47d7-8f40-007460cc3ad1/
after.sh  before.sh  config.py  connection.yml  job_script_content.sh  job_script_options.json  output.log  script.sh  user_defined_context.json

You can view the output.log file under this folder to track the session.

Issue: Jupyter Doesn’t Start?

Sometimes when you try and start a Jupyter session it immediately fails to open.

This is typically caused by something that you have done/run/installed that has installed a python package under the library/version folder that is causing a dependency issue with a Python package installed under the kernel..

If you do not have the Session ID, then list the child session folders, in date order, under ~/ondemand/data/sys/dashboard/batch_connect/sys/jupyter/form/output/ and look at the output.log file under the last child folder created:

[salexan5@mblog2 ~]$ ls -altr ~/ondemand/data/sys/dashboard/batch_connect/sys/jupyter/form/output/
...

Issue: Jupyter Doesn’t Start: Example

This example is from an older cluster/version of OnDemand, but the principle still applies.

The fakeusername user had the following error:

Cleaning up...

Two things to notice.

First the ImportError caused by a dependency issue: ImportError: cannot import name 'tarfile' from 'backports'

Second, the location of the package, that has been installed, where this is originating from: /home/fakeusername/.local/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pkg_resources

Unfortunately, the simplest way to resolve is to remove this folder.

How this effects your environment/pipeline you will have to figure out.

Unfortunately, the more complicated you try and make a single environment, the more likely this is too occur.

Suggestion: Maybe consider creating a separate Conda environment/kernel.
