Jupyter-LC_wrapper, we call lc_wrapper, is a wrapper kernel that relay the code and messages between the ipython kernel and the notebook server. The original ipython kernel is hard to use at the time of huge output. The behavior of the browser slows down, and it stops working at the worst. The lc_wrapper resolved this difficulty by summarizing the data sent to the notebook server. And, if you are planning to distribute notebooks, you should avoid printing secret information (ex. secret-key, telephone-no., etc) in the notebooks. The lc_wrapper has the ability to mask specified patterns in notebooks and log files.
The lc_wrapper has several features shown below:
- Turn on and off this summarize features easily.
- It is summarized that the contents displayed on the output area of the notebook.
- The specified keywords can be checked.
- The output results are saved in the files with the executed history.
- Secrets words that specified by "pattern regexp" are masked with '***...'.
- Jupyter Notebook 4.2.x
- Python2.7
- (Optional) Jupyter-LC_nblineage and Jupyter-multi_outputs ... to track relation between output file and cell (MEME)
Note: Jupyter-LC_wrapper is prepared for Python and bash at this moment.
To install lc_wrapper by pip:
pip install git+https://github.com/NII-cloud-operation/Jupyter-LC_wrapper
python -m lc_wrapper.ipython.install
If you'd like to use with bash kernel, you can install lc_wrapper for bash kernel as follows:
python -m lc_wrapper.bash.install
In order to save output files with cell MEMEs, you should install and enable Jupyter-LC_nblineage and Jupyter-multi_outputs.
- Jupyter-LC_nblineage ... See Jupyter-LC_nblineage/README
- Jupyter-multi_outputs ... See Jupyter-multi_outputs/README
Jupyter-LC_wrapper has the frontend extension for recording log file history as cell metadata.
To install the extension, copy its files into the jupyter server's search directory.
jupyter nbextension install --py lc_wrapper --user
To use the extension, you will also need to enable it.
jupyter nbextension enable --py lc_wrapper --user
Replace KernelManager for customized shutdown_kernel() behavior.
Append the below line to jupyter_notebook_config.py.
c.MultiKernelManager.kernel_manager_class = 'lc_wrapper.AsyncLCWrapperKernelManager'
If you want to completely replace the Python or Bash kernel in the kernel selection list with the wrapper kernel,
you can use the custom kernel spec manager (lc_wrapper.LCWrapperKernelSpecManager).
This custom kernel spec manager provides another kernel spec list that is separated from the default kernel spec list.
Append the following line to jupyter_notebook_config.py
c.NotebookApp.kernel_spec_manager_class = 'lc_wrapper.LCWrapperKernelSpecManager'
If you want to install additional kernels to this kernel spec list,
you can use jupyter wrapper-kernelspec command like jupyter kernelspec command.
For details, please execute jupyter wrapper-kernelspec --help.
The Jupyter-LC_wrapper kernel logs the cell output to a local file for each execution.
The frontend extension records the log file path as cell metadata.
The log file path is sent to the frontend with execute_reply message.
Example of cell metadata:
{
"lc_wrapper": {
"log_history": [
"/notebooks/.log/20181221/20181221-141855-0874.log",
"/notebooks/.log/20181221/20181221-141912-0312.log"
]
},
(snip)
}
The log directory named .log is created in the current working directory (the same directory as the notebook file).
If this directory is not writable, the .log directory is created in the your home directory.
To use the summarizing mode, you should make the code cell with !! at the beginning of the command.
Example:
[In]
---
!!1+1
[In]
---
!!!ls -al
The masking feature is enabled when it is installed.
Specify the pattern to mask, in lc_wrapper_masking_pattern.
Specify whether or not to mask the string in log file as well as the notebooks, in lc_wrapper_mask_log.
This specifications can be set by environment variables or in configuration file. The environment variables overrides the variables in the configuration file. If neither setting is present, the default variables are used.
Set the lc_wrapper_masking_pattern to undefined, if you do not want to apply the masking feature. When the pattern is undefined, the system returns the raw output string as is.
You can customize the summarizing settings by creating a configuration file
named .lc_wrapper.
The Jupyter-LC_wrapper searches the configuration file in the following order
and reads the first file found.
- Current working directory (the same directory as the notebook file)
- Home directory (
~/.lc_wrapper)
The configuration file is a text file consisting of lines like key=value.
If the line is empty or starts with #, it is ignored.
This is an example of .lc_wrapper file.
# Example of .lc_wrapper
lc_wrapper_force=on
lc_wrapper=2:2:2:2
lc_wrapper_regex=3|5|7
lc_wrapper_masking_pattern=(?:[0-9]{11}@[a-z]*.proxy.example.com:8080)|AKIAJTQHFTLP426OCK3Q|2468
lc_wrapper_mask_log=on
You can use lc_wrapper_force to enable summarizing mode forcefully on every cell.
If the value is on, summarizing mode is enabled on every cell.
If it is off or otherwise, the enable/disable of the summarizing mode follows the contents of the cell.
If it is enabled, even if the code cell does not start with !!, the output is summarized.
The lc_wrapper controls the summarized output.
The meaning of value is as follows.
lc_wrapper=s:h:e:f
s: Summary starts when # of output lines exceed 's' (default s=50)h: Summary displays the first h lines and max 2 x h error lines. (default h=20)e: Max # of output lines in progress. (default e=1)f: Summary displays the last f lines (default f=20)
The following is an example of code and output for lc_wrapper=2:2:2:2.

The lc_wrapper_regex is a regular expression for finding error message lines from the output to display in the summarized output.
If the value starts with file: such as file:xxxx.txt,
the wrapper kernel interprets the part after file: as a filename in the same directory as a notebook file,
read its contents as regular expressions.
In this file, one regular expression can be written on one line, and multiple lines can be described.
If the filename part is default, it means the default regular expressions file named .lc_wrapper_regex.txt.
The Jupyter-LC_wrapper searches .lc_wrapper_regex.txt in the following order and reads the first file found.
- Current working directory (the same directory as the notebook file)
- Home directory (
~/.lc_wrapper_regex.txt)
The default value of lc_wrapper_regex is file:default.
If the default regular expressions file is not found, the wrapper kernel generates a file with default contents.
The following is an example of code and output for lc_wrapper_regex=3|5|7.

Mask the keywords of the output and log files with variable 'lc_wrapper_masking_pattern'.
The meaning of variable is as follows.
lc_wrapper_masking_pattern=z
z is a regular expression to mask. Ex.) pass_word|[0-9a-zA-Z_]+@[0-9a-zA-Z.]+?com|AKIAIOSFODNN7EXAMPLE .

When value is on, mask the secret words (strings that matches to lc_wrapper_masking_pattern) with "***..." in the log file.
And when it is off or otherwise, strings in log files are not masked.
default value is on.
Instead of the configuration file, you can set with the environment variables.
For example, set the environment variables as follows.
$ export lc_wrapper_force='on'
$ export lc_wrapper='2:2:2:2'
$ export lc_wrapper_regex='3|5|7'
$ export lc_wrapper_masking_pattern='[0-9a-zA-Z_]+@[0-9a-zA-Z.]+?com'
$ export lc_wrapper_mask_log=off
The name of environment variable is same to the key name of the configuration file.
If you set both the configuration file and environment variables, the environment variables are applied and the duplicated entries in the configuration file are ignored.
