Neovim PDE for Data Science

In this article, we will explore configuring an opinionated development environment for exploratory data analysis and machine learning.

This article is part of the Neovim PDE series.

The Neovim configuration files are available in this repository.

Getting Started

In a previous article, we mentioned different approaches to using Neovim with Jupyter. Specifically, we went through the following.

• We used Jupyter Ascending to edit Jupyter Notebook from Neovim, which instantly syncs and executes the code in the Jupyter Notebook running in the browser.
• We used Firenvim to turn the browser into a Neovim client and use it with Jupyter.
• We talked about Magma-nvim, Sniprun and other plugins that can be used to interact with the REPL.

This article will configure an opinionated approach to using Neovim with Jupyter Notebook.

• We want to use Neovim for development.
• We still want to have the Jupyter Notebook, and the ability to sync the code with the notebook.
• We want to have a similar experience using a Jupyter Notebook within Neovim.
