Why is it that certain Python visualisation libraries do not work on Databricks? I am trying to install (via pip) and work with some data visualisation libraries - they work perfectly in a normal Jupyter Notebook but not on a Databricks notebook environment. Do I need to install or configure any extensions on Databricks?

It depends on the library. Maybe share some examples.

Hi @Patrick Bezzina , What DBR version are you trying to install these libraries?

Hi @Patrick Bezzina , I tried following commands, and it worked like a charm on DBR 10.5 runtime.
pip install lux
pip install bamboolib
import lux
import bamboolib

We are using DB runtime 10.3 (which includes Apache Spark 3.2.1). For Bamboolib I do not get the button "Show Bamboolib UI" in the output of the cell.
Installing and importing the library works fine but cannot use it.

Hi @Patrick Bezzina , bamboolib is not yet available within Databricks notebooks.
(You can install and import the Python library, but the GUI will not show up.)
However, a private preview with selected customers will start within the following weeks.
You can sign up for the private preview by contacting your Databricks account team.

Hi @Patrick Bezzina , Private Preview will most likely begin in the next week after May 23.
