Python environment with a requirements.txt

A Binder-compatible repo with a requirements.txt file containing Democritus libraries.

Access this Binder at the following URL

http://mybinder.org/v2/gh/binder-examples/requirements/master

Notes

The requirements.txt file should list all Python libraries that your notebooks depend on, and they will be installed using:

pip install -r requirements.txt

The base Binder image contains no extra dependencies, so be as explicit as possible in defining the packages that you need. This includes specifying explicit versions wherever possible.

If you do specify strict versions, it is important to do so for all your dependencies, not just direct dependencies. Strictly specifying only some dependencies is a recipe for environments breaking over time.
