Description

# Notebook Shim This project provides a way for JupyterLab and other frontends to switch to [Jupyter Server](https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_server/) for their Python Web application backend. ## Basic Usage Install from PyPI: ``` pip install notebook_shim ``` This will automatically enable the extension in Jupyter Server. ## Usage This project also includes an API for shimming traits that moved from `NotebookApp` in to `ServerApp` in Jupyter Server. This can be used by applications that subclassed `NotebookApp` to leverage the Python server backend of Jupyter Notebooks. Such extensions should *now* switch to `ExtensionApp` API in Jupyter Server and add `NotebookConfigShimMixin` in their inheritance list to properly handle moved traits. For example, an application class that previously looked like: ```python from notebook.notebookapp import NotebookApp class MyApplication(NotebookApp): ``` should switch to look something like: ```python from jupyter_server.extension.application import ExtensionApp from notebook_shim.shim import NotebookConfigShimMixin class MyApplication(NotebookConfigShimMixin, ExtensionApp): ```
