auto-install python and jupyter extension in vscode?

[sonichi]

          This is nice (and it worked for me). 

One minor annoyance is that in order to run the notebooks, I still needed to manually install python and jupyter. Perhaps a future PR could update devcontainer.json to take care of this?

Hello @sonichi

"updateContentCommand": "pip install -e . pre-commit && pre-commit install && pip install jupyter",

will this work ?
Should i open a PR with this

This will install jupyter in the python environment but not the extension in vscode. I guessed the OP's question is about the extension, but I'm not sure.

Hi Guys,

I read #367.

@Gourav2609 would like python dependencies in codespaces. I created a PR for it:#367
This will install all the dependencies listed in the pyproject.toml.
(Still need to test it.)

Can we say it like we give them recommendation to install the following extensions....
can be done by

• creating .vscode folder
• creating extension.json
  - { "recommendations": ["ms-python.python", "ms-toolsai.jupyter"] }

After exploring the repo some more, it seems that poetry isn't used to manage dependencies, setup.py is. And there Dockerfile that is being used to create the codespace already installs the dependencies.

I'm changing my PR to a clean-up PR .

Yes, my original workflow was:

Click the green Code button in Github -> Create a Codespace -> Open an example notebook

The user then needs to select a kernel, and is prompted to install python/jupyter. I opened PR #433 which modifies the devcontainer.json to include python/jupyter.

Thanks @craigomatic
