EIN is an Emacs Lisp package providing a Jupyter notebook client and integrated REPL inside GNU Emacs, supporting code evaluation, completion, and kernel connection across languages. The project has been sunset since 2023, with a successor greenfield implementation at commercial-emacs/xjupyter.

Use cases

  • edit jupyter notebooks in emacs
  • run ipython cells from emacs buffers
  • connect a jupyter kernel to a python buffer
  • open and evaluate .ipynb files in emacs
  • use a slime-like REPL for python in emacs
  • connect to a remote jupyter server over ssh

When to choose

  • you live in Emacs and want notebook editing without leaving it
  • you need kernel-connected evaluation and completion in arbitrary Emacs buffers
  • you want org-mode integration via ob-ein

When to avoid

  • you are on non-WSL Windows
  • you need full parity with Jupyter's web-first features like rich inline widgets
  • you need robust undo in notebooks - the successor xjupyter is recommended instead
