Does anyone know if the Notebook Server pandas module also includes other modules like xlsxwriter or if it can be installed on the server?

Hi,

I was wondering if the notebook server pandas module includes the xlsxwriter module or if it can be installed on the server? I have a fairly complex setup that includes this module so I wanted to check and see if that is also included.

You can always test and see:

When you need another module, you can always include a cell at the top of your notebook to install it first. A small module like this installs pretty quick, so it shouldn't slow down your process too much.

!pip install xlwt

Thank you very much @jcarlson. We are looking to acquire the Notebook Server so we can create custom tools and store and run all of our scripts on one server rather than having multiple scripts run on multiple machines/servers. That was one of my main concerns since one of my project includes that module. The other concern is whether or not if the Notebook Server has the ability to run scripts that output to different folder locations. I have run into that issue regarding windows task scheduler, and I am hoping the notebook server may be able to circumvent that.

Also, in  terms of installing a module, does it have to be installed every time or just the one time?
