# Sidecar
A lightweight viewer of Jupyter output to run next to your terminal session.

## Installation
```bash
cargo install sidecar
```
## Usage
In a `jupyter console` session with Python, run:
```python
import subprocess
from ipykernel.connect import get_connection_file
connection_file = get_connection_file()
sidecar = subprocess.Popen(
["sidecar", "--quiet", connection_file],
stdout=subprocess.PIPE, stderr=subprocess.PIPE
)
```
That will open a separate window showing the output of your Jupyter session.
It even works with anywidgets like `quak`!
```python
%load_ext quak
import polars as pl
df = pl.read_parquet(
"https://github.com/uwdata/mosaic/raw/main/data/athletes.parquet"
)
df
```
