Python 3.13.5 : use the jupyterlab, notebook and voila - part 001.

JupyterLab is the latest web-based interactive development environment for notebooks, code, and data. Its flexible interface allows users to configure and arrange workflows in data science, scientific computing, computational journalism, and machine learning. A modular design invites extensions to expand and enrich functionality.

Let's test with these python modules: jupyterlab, notebook and voila.

First, I install with pip tool the jupyterlab python module:

pip install jupyterlab
Collecting jupyterlab

Next, the install of the notebook python module

pip install notebook
Collecting notebook
...
Installing collected packages: notebook
Successfully installed notebook-7.4.4

This python package named voila will help us to use online graphic user interfaces:

pip install voila
Collecting voila
...
Successfully installed voila-0.5.8 websockets-15.0.1

The voila package need to work with ipywidgets python package:

pip install ipywidgets
Collecting ipywidgets
...
Successfully installed ipywidgets-8.1.7 jupyterlab_widgets-3.0.15 widgetsnbextension-4.0.14

Let's start the jupiter tool with this command:

jupyter notebook

I used an default python example with a slider:

import ipywidgets as widgets
from IPython.display import display

slider = widgets.IntSlider(value=5, min=0, max=10)
display(slider)

This command will start the web with the slider using the voila command:

voila test.ipynb

The result is this:

Python 3.13.5 : the manim python module - part 001.

I used this package few days ago and now I wrote about how can used it.

Update the new release of pip is available: 25.0.1 -> 25.1.1 , run this command:

python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip

The documentation can be found on the official website.

pip install manim

Let's see how can be used to see the help area:

python.exe -m manim render --help
Manim Community v0.19.0

Usage: python -m manim render ...

Let's use this source code:

from manim import *

class AdvancedAnimation(Scene):
    def construct(self):
        # Scene 1: Introduction
        title = Text("Advanced Animation with Manim").scale(0.76)
        self.play(FadeIn(title))
        self.wait(2)

        # Scene 2: Custom Animation
        circle = Circle().set_fill(color=BLUE, opacity=0.5)
        square = Square().set_fill(color=RED, opacity=0.5)
        self.add(circle, square)
        self.play(
            Rotate(circle, angle=TAU),
            Rotate(square, angle=-TAU),
            run_time=2,
            rate_func=linear
        )
        self.wait()

        # Scene 3: Text Animation
        text = Text("This is a custom text animation", font_size=40).to_edge(UP)
        self.play(Write(text), run_time=2)
        self.wait()

        # Scene 4: Shapes Manipulation
        triangle = Triangle().shift(RIGHT * 2)
        self.play(GrowFromCenter(triangle), run_time=1.5)
        self.wait()

        # Scene 5: Transition to next scene
        self.play(Uncreate(triangle), FadeOut(text))

        # Scene 6: Final Animation
        final_text = Text("This is the end of our animation", font_size=50).to_edge(DOWN)
        self.play(FadeIn(final_text), run_time=1.5)
        self.wait(2)

# Run the animation
AdvancedAnimation()

Use this command to render:

python.exe -m manim render manim_test_001.py AdvancedAnimation -p
AdvancedAnimation -p
