Demo

Background

The purpose of this document is to explore the pyodide WebAssembly interface to power interactive Quarto documents.

Setup

Sample Calculations

Let’s start off with a quick calculation

Strings

Viewing string data

Retrieving prior objects

Checking string length

Notice, we’re able to track the run value of code.

Define and Call Functions

Functions can be defined in one cell and called.

Similarly, they persist to other cells.

Load a package

We’ve enabled dynamic package detection to handle importing packages into the environment. The dynamic part comes from detecting whether a non-core Python package is used, installing, and, then, importing it.

Note

Importing a package for the first time will require more time. Subsequent import statements will be resolve quicker.

Graphing

Important

Graphing is not yet available.

Free-for-all

Feel free to explore adding your own Python code into this code cell. Note, you may also do the same with earlier cells.
