   import numpy as np

   st.title("My First Streamlit App")

   st.write("Welcome to my first Streamlit application!")

   # Create a random dataframe
   df = pd.DataFrame(
       np.random.randn(20, 3),
       columns=['Column A', 'Column B', 'Column C']
   )

   st.write("Here is a random dataframe:")
   st.dataframe(df)

   st.write("Line chart of the data:")
   st.line_chart(df)

Explanation:

  • Imports necessary libraries.
  • Sets the title and writes introductory text.
  • Generates a random DataFrame.
  • Displays the DataFrame and a line chart based on the data.

Save the Script:

  • Ensure that you save app.py after adding the code.

Understanding the Basic Structure of a Streamlit Script

A Streamlit script is a standard Python script with the streamlit library functions to create interactive elements.

  • Import Streamlit: 
import streamlit as st

Set the Title and Headers:

st.title("App Title")
st.header("This is a header")
st.subheader("This is a subheader")

Write Text:

st.text("This is a simple text.")
st.markdown("This is a text with **markdown** formatting.")

Display Data:

st.dataframe(df)  # Displays an interactive table
st.table(df)      # Displays a static table

Display Charts: 

st.line_chart(data)
st.bar_chart(data)
st.area_chart(data)

Add Interactive Widgets: 

name = st.text_input("Enter your name:")
st.write(f"Hello, {name}!")

age = st.slider("Select your age:", 0, 100)
st.write(f"You are {age} years old.")

Layout Elements: 

with st.sidebar:
    st.write("This is the sidebar.")

col1, col2 = st.columns(2)
col1.write("Content in column 1")
col2.write("Content in column 2")

Running Streamlit Apps from Within the Jupyter Notebook

Streamlit simplifies the process of creating interactive and dynamic visualizations that can help users explore and understand data more effectively. In this section, we'll explore how to use Streamlit's built-in functions and integrate popular visualization libraries to build interactive data visualizations.

Using Streamlit's Built-in Chart Functions

Streamlit provides easy-to-use functions for creating basic charts directly from data structures like Pandas DataFrames and NumPy arrays.

Line Chart 

import streamlit as st
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# Generate random data
data = np.random.randn(100, 3)
columns = ['Feature A', 'Feature B', 'Feature C']
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=columns)

# Display line chart
st.line_chart(df)

Explanation: The st.line_chart() function takes a DataFrame or array-like object and renders an interactive line chart.

Bar Chart 

# Display bar chart
st.bar_chart(df)

Explanation: st.bar_chart() displays a bar chart. It's useful for categorical data or comparing different groups.

Area Chart 

# Display area chart
st.area_chart(df)

Explanation: st.area_chart() creates an area chart, which is similar to a line chart but with the area below the line filled.

Customizing Charts with Altair

For more advanced visualizations, Streamlit supports libraries like Altair, which provides a declarative statistical visualization library for Python.

Creating an Altair Chart

import altair as alt

# Create an Altair chart
chart = alt.Chart(df.reset_index()).mark_circle(size=60).encode(
    x='index',
    y='Feature A',
    color='Feature B',
    tooltip=['Feature A', 'Feature B', 'Feature C']
).interactive()

st.altair_chart(chart, use_container_width=True)

Explanation: This code creates an interactive scatter plot using Altair, where you can hover over points to see tooltips.

Interactive Widgets for User Input

Streamlit allows you to add widgets that enable users to interact with your visualizations.

Adding a Slider 

# Slider to select number of data points
num_points = st.slider('Select number of data points', min_value=10, max_value=100, value=50)

# Generate data based on slider
data = np.random.randn(num_points, 3)
df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=columns)

# Display updated chart
st.line_chart(df)

Explanation: The slider widget allows users to select the number of data points, and the chart updates accordingly.

Selectbox for Options 

# Selectbox to choose a feature
feature = st.selectbox('Select a feature to display', columns)

# Display the selected feature
st.line_chart(df[feature])

Explanation: The selectbox lets users choose which feature to visualize.

Integrating Plotly for Advanced Visualizations

Plotly is another powerful library for creating interactive graphs.

Plotly Example 

import plotly.express as px

# Create a Plotly figure
fig = px.scatter(df, x='Feature A', y='Feature B', size='Feature C', color='Feature C', hover_name='Feature C')

# Display the Plotly figure in Streamlit
st.plotly_chart(fig, use_container_width=True)

Explanation: This code creates an interactive scatter plot with Plotly, which includes zooming, panning, and tooltips.

Combining Widgets and Visualizations

You can combine multiple widgets and charts to create a rich interactive experience.

Example: Interactive Data Filtering 

# Multiselect to choose features
selected_features = st.multiselect('Select features to visualize', columns, default=columns)

# Checkbox to toggle data normalization
normalize = st.checkbox('Normalize data')

# Process data based on user input
if normalize:
    df_normalized = (df - df.mean()) / df.std()
    data_to_plot = df_normalized[selected_features]
else:
    data_to_plot = df[selected_features]

# Display line chart of selected features
st.line_chart(data_to_plot)

Explanation: Users can select which features to visualize and whether to normalize the data, and the chart updates accordingly.

Best Practices for Interactive Visualizations

  • Limit Data Size: Large datasets can slow down your app. Consider sampling or aggregating data.
  • Use Caching: Use @st.cache_data decorator to cache data loading and computation functions.
  • Provide Instructions: Use st.markdown() or st.write() to guide users on how to interact with your app.
  • Optimize Layout: Organize widgets and charts using columns and expanders for a clean interface.

Example of Layout Optimization 

# Create columns
col1, col2 = st.columns(2)

with col1:
    st.header('User Inputs')
    # Add widgets here
    num_points = st.slider('Number of points', 10, 100, 50)
    feature = st.selectbox('Feature', columns)

with col2:
    st.header('Visualization')
    # Generate and display chart
    data = np.random.randn(num_points, len(columns))
    df = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=columns)
    st.line_chart(df[feature])

Explanation: This layout separates user inputs and visualizations into two columns, making the app more organized.

Summary

In this section, you've learned how to:

  • Use Streamlit's built-in chart functions to create quick visualizations.
  • Customize charts using Altair and Plotly for more advanced visualizations.
  • Add interactive widgets like sliders and selectboxes to make your visualizations dynamic.
  • Combine widgets and charts to build a user-friendly data exploration tool.

By leveraging these features, you can create powerful interactive applications that make data exploration and analysis more accessible to your audience.

In this section, we'll delve into some of these capabilities, including state management, dynamic content creation, file handling, and performance optimization through caching.

State Management with st.session_state

Streamlit runs your script from top to bottom every time a user interacts with a widget. To maintain state across these reruns, you can use st.session_state, which is a dictionary-like object that persists throughout the user's session.

Example: Counter Application 

import streamlit as st

# Initialize counter in session state
if 'counter' not in st.session_state:
    st.session_state.counter = 0

# Increment counter on button click
if st.button('Increment'):
    st.session_state.counter += 1

st.write(f"Counter value: {st.session_state.counter}")

Explanation: The counter value is stored in st.session_state.counter, ensuring it persists across interactions.

Dynamic Content with st.expander and st.tabs

Streamlit provides layout elements to organize content and improve user experience.

Using st.expander 

import streamlit as st

st.write("This is visible content")

with st.expander("Click to expand"):
    st.write("This content is hidden by default")

Explanation: st.expander creates a collapsible section that users can expand or collapse.

Using st.tabs 

import streamlit as st

tab1, tab2 = st.tabs(["Tab 1", "Tab 2"])

with tab1:
    st.write("Content in Tab 1")

with tab2:
    st.write("Content in Tab 2")

Explanation: st.tabs allows you to organize content into tabs for better navigation.

Uploading and Handling Files with st.file_uploader

Allow users to upload files directly into your app for processing.

Example: CSV File Uploader 

import streamlit as st
import pandas as pd

uploaded_file = st.file_uploader("Choose a CSV file", type="csv")

if uploaded_file is not None:
    df = pd.read_csv(uploaded_file)
    st.write("Uploaded Data:")
    st.dataframe(df)

Explanation: Users can upload a CSV file, which the app reads and displays as a DataFrame.

Caching with @st.cache_data for Performance Optimization

Heavy computations or data loading can slow down your app. Use caching to store results and avoid redundant processing.

Using @st.cache_data 

import streamlit as st
import pandas as pd

@st.cache_data
def load_data(url):
    return pd.read_csv(url)

data_url = 'https://path-to-large-dataset.csv'
df = load_data(data_url)
st.write("Data loaded successfully")
st.dataframe(df.head())

Explanation: The @st.cache_data decorator caches the load_data function's output, improving performance on subsequent runs.

Customizing the App Layout

Enhance user experience by customizing your app's layout and appearance.

Setting Page Configuration

import streamlit as st

st.set_page_config(
    page_title="Advanced Streamlit Features",
    page_icon="?",

    initial_sidebar_state="expanded",
)

Explanation: st.set_page_config sets global configurations like the page title, icon, layout, and sidebar state.

Using Columns and Containers 

import streamlit as st

col1, col2 = st.columns(2)

with col1:
    st.header("Column 1")
    st.write("Content for the first column")

with col2:
    st.header("Column 2")
    st.write("Content for the second column")

Explanation: Columns help organize content side by side.

Theming and Styling

Apply custom themes to match your app's branding or preferred aesthetics.

Applying a Custom Theme

st.write("PyTorch model loaded successfully.")

Making Predictions 

from PIL import Image
import torchvision.transforms as T

uploaded_file = st.file_uploader("Upload an image", type=["jpg", "jpeg", "png"])

if uploaded_file is not None:
    # Load and preprocess the image
    image = Image.open(uploaded_file)
    st.image(image, caption='Uploaded Image', use_column_width=True)

    preprocess = T.Compose([
        T.Resize(256),
        T.CenterCrop(224),
        T.ToTensor(),
        T.Normalize(
            mean=[0.485, 0.456, 0.406], 
            std=[0.229, 0.224, 0.225]
        )
    ])
    img_t = preprocess(image)
    batch_t = torch.unsqueeze(img_t, 0)

    # Make prediction
    with torch.no_grad():
        out = model(batch_t)
    probabilities = torch.nn.functional.softmax(out[0], dim=0)

    # Load labels
    with open("imagenet_classes.txt") as f:
        labels = [line.strip() for line in f.readlines()]

    # Show top 3 predictions
    top3_prob, top3_catid = torch.topk(probabilities, 3)
    st.write("Top Predictions:")
    for i in range(top3_prob.size(0)):
        st.write(f"{i+1}. {labels[top3_catid[i]]}: {round(top3_prob[i].item()*100, 2)}%")

Note: Ensure that the imagenet_classes.txt file is available in your working directory.

Building a Simple Prediction App with scikit-learn

Let's build a simple regression app using scikit-learn.

Training a Model 

import streamlit as st
from sklearn.datasets import load_boston
from sklearn.ensemble import RandomForestRegressor
from sklearn.model_selection import train_test_split

# Load dataset
data = load_boston()
X = data.data
y = data.target

# Split data
X_train, X_test, y_train, y_test = train_test_split(X, y, test_size=0.2)

# Train model
model = RandomForestRegressor()
model.fit(X_train, y_train)

st.write("Model trained successfully.")

Making Predictions with User Input 

import numpy as np

st.header("Boston Housing Price Prediction")

# Feature input sliders
CRIM = st.number_input('Per capita crime rate by town', min_value=0.0, value=0.1)
ZN = st.number_input('Proportion of residential land zoned for lots over 25,000 sq.ft.', min_value=0.0, value=0.0)
# ... add inputs for other features

# For brevity, we'll use default values for the rest of the features
input_features = np.array([[CRIM, ZN] + [0]*(X.shape[1]-2)])

# Predict
prediction = model.predict(input_features)
st.write(f"Predicted median value of owner-occupied homes: ${prediction[0]*1000:.2f}")

Explanation: Users can input values for features, and the app predicts housing prices.

Visualizing Model Outputs and Performance Metrics

Visualizations help in understanding model performance.

Displaying Metrics 

from sklearn.metrics import mean_squared_error, r2_score

# Predict on test set
y_pred = model.predict(X_test)

# Calculate metrics
mse = mean_squared_error(y_test, y_pred)
r2 = r2_score(y_test, y_pred)

# Display metrics
st.write("Model Performance on Test Set:")
st.write(f"Mean Squared Error: {mse:.2f}")
st.write(f"R² Score: {r2:.2f}")

Plotting Actual vs. Predicted Values 

import pandas as pd

df = pd.DataFrame({'Actual': y_test, 'Predicted': y_pred})

st.write("Actual vs. Predicted Values")
st.line_chart(df)

Explanation: The line chart shows how closely the model's predictions match the actual values.

Tips for Integrating Machine Learning Models in Streamlit

Model Serialization: For complex models, consider saving and loading models using joblib or pickle to avoid retraining every time.

import joblib

# Save model
joblib.dump(model, 'model.joblib')

# Load model
model = joblib.load('model.joblib')
Use Caching for Models: Cache the model loading or training functions to improve performance.

python
Copy code
@st.cache_resource
def load_model():
    # Load or train model
    return model

Handle Large Models: Be mindful of resource limitations. Use efficient data structures and consider offloading heavy computations.

Provide Clear Instructions: Guide users on how to interact with the app, especially when expecting specific input formats.

Summary

In this section, you've learned how to:

  • Load and use pre-trained models with TensorFlow and PyTorch in your Streamlit apps.
  • Build a simple prediction app using scikit-learn.
  • Collect user input to make predictions and display results.
  • Visualize model outputs and performance metrics to evaluate model effectiveness.

By integrating machine learning models into your Streamlit applications, you can create powerful tools that make complex models accessible to end-users in an interactive and user-friendly manner.

Database Connectivity

In many data science projects, interacting with databases is essential for retrieving, processing, and storing data. Streamlit, combined with the powerful libraries included in the Python Data Science Notebook Docker Image, makes it straightforward to connect to various databases and integrate them into your applications. In this section, we'll explore how to connect to databases using sqlalchemy, psycopg2, and specifically how to interact with Dremio using the dremio-simple-query library.

Connecting to Dremio Using dremio-simple-query

Dremio is a data lakehouse platform that enables you to govern, join, and accelerate queries across various data sources such as Iceberg, Delta Lake, S3, JSON, CSV, RDBMS, and more. The dremio-simple-query library simplifies querying a Dremio source using Apache Arrow Flight, providing performant data retrieval for analytics.

Installing the dremio-simple-query Library

First, ensure that the dremio-simple-query library is installed in your environment:

pip install dremio-simple-query

Setting Up the Connection to Dremio

To connect to Dremio, you'll need to obtain your Dremio Arrow Flight endpoint and an authentication token.

Obtaining the Arrow Flight Endpoint

  • Dremio Cloud (NA): grpc+tls://data.dremio.cloud:443
  • Dremio Cloud (EU): grpc+tls://data.eu.dremio.cloud:443
  • Dremio Software (SSL): grpc+tls://:32010
  • Dremio Software (No SSL): grpc://:32010

Getting Your Authentication Token

  • Dremio Cloud: Obtain the token from the Dremio interface or via the REST API.
  • Dremio Software: Obtain the token using the REST API.

You can use the get_token function from the dremio-simple-query library to retrieve the token programmatically.

Connecting to Dremio 

import streamlit as st
from dremio_simple_query.connect import get_token, DremioConnection
from os import getenv
from dotenv import load_dotenv

# Load environment variables from a .env file (optional)
load_dotenv()

# Retrieve Dremio credentials and endpoints
username = st.secrets["dremio_username"]
password = st.secrets["dremio_password"]
arrow_endpoint = st.secrets["dremio_arrow_endpoint"]  # e.g., "grpc+tls://data.dremio.cloud:443"
login_endpoint = st.secrets["dremio_login_endpoint"]  # e.g., "https://your-dremio-server:9047/apiv2/login"

# Get authentication token
payload = {
    "userName": username,
    "password": password
}
token = get_token(uri=login_endpoint, payload=payload)

# Establish connection to Dremio
dremio = DremioConnection(token, arrow_endpoint)

# Test the connection
try:
    st.success("Successfully connected to Dremio.")
except Exception as e:
    st.error(f"Failed to connect to Dremio: {e}")

Note: Ensure that you securely manage your credentials using Streamlit's secrets management or environment variables.

Querying Data from Dremio

You can now query data from Dremio and retrieve it in various formats.

Retrieving Data as an Arrow Table 

# Query data and get a FlightStreamReader object
stream = dremio.toArrow("SELECT * FROM your_space.your_table LIMIT 100")

# Convert the stream to an Arrow Table
arrow_table = stream.read_all()

# Optionally, display the data in Streamlit
df = arrow_table.to_pandas()
st.write("Data from Dremio:")
st.dataframe(df)

Retrieving Data as a Pandas DataFrame 

# Directly get a Pandas DataFrame
df = dremio.toPandas("SELECT * FROM your_space.your_table LIMIT 100")
st.write("Data from Dremio:")
st.dataframe(df)

Retrieving Data as a Polars DataFrame 

# Get a Polars DataFrame
df_polars = dremio.toPolars("SELECT * FROM your_space.your_table LIMIT 100")
st.write("Data from Dremio (Polars DataFrame):")
st.write(df_polars)

Querying with DuckDB

You can leverage DuckDB for in-memory analytics on the data retrieved from Dremio.

Using the DuckDB Relation API 

# Retrieve data as a DuckDB relation
duck_rel = dremio.toDuckDB("SELECT * FROM your_space.your_table LIMIT 100")

# Perform queries on the DuckDB relation
result = duck_rel.filter("column_name > 50").df()

# Display the result
st.write("Filtered Data using DuckDB:")
st.dataframe(result)

Querying Arrow Objects with DuckDB

Alternatively, you can query Arrow Tables using DuckDB:

import duckdb

# Get data from Dremio as an Arrow Table
stream = dremio.toArrow("SELECT * FROM your_space.your_table LIMIT 100")
arrow_table = stream.read_all()

# Create a DuckDB connection
con = duckdb.connect()

# Register the Arrow Table with DuckDB
con.register("dremio_table", arrow_table)

# Perform SQL queries using DuckDB
query = "SELECT * FROM dremio_table WHERE column_name > 50"
result = con.execute(query).fetch_df()

# Display the result
st.write("Filtered Data using DuckDB on Arrow Table:")
st.dataframe(result)

Best Practices for Using Dremio with Streamlit

  • Secure Credentials: Always handle your Dremio credentials securely. Use Streamlit's secrets management or environment variables to avoid hardcoding sensitive information.
  • Efficient Data Retrieval: Optimize your SQL queries to retrieve only the necessary data. Use LIMIT clauses and filters to reduce data transfer and improve performance.
  • Error Handling: Implement try-except blocks to manage exceptions and provide informative error messages to users.
  • Environment Configuration: Ensure that your arrow_endpoint and login_endpoint are correctly configured based on your Dremio deployment (Cloud or Software, with or without SSL).

Connecting to Databases Using sqlalchemy and psycopg2

In addition to Dremio, you might need to connect to other databases like PostgreSQL or MySQL. The Docker image comes with sqlalchemy, psycopg2-binary, and other database drivers pre-installed.

Setting Up a Connection to a PostgreSQL Database 

from sqlalchemy import create_engine
import pandas as pd

# Database connection parameters
DB_USER = st.secrets["db_user"]
DB_PASSWORD = st.secrets["db_password"]
DB_HOST = st.secrets["db_host"]
DB_PORT = st.secrets["db_port"]
DB_NAME = st.secrets["db_name"]

# Create a database engine
engine = create_engine(f'postgresql+psycopg2://{DB_USER}:{DB_PASSWORD}@{DB_HOST}:{DB_PORT}/{DB_NAME}')

# Test the connection
try:
    with engine.connect() as connection:
        st.success("Successfully connected to the PostgreSQL database.")
except Exception as e:
    st.error(f"Failed to connect to the database: {e}")

Querying Data from the Database 

# Sample query
query = "SELECT * FROM your_table LIMIT 10"

# Execute the query and load data into a DataFrame
df = pd.read_sql(query, engine)

# Display the data
st.write("Data from PostgreSQL:")
st.dataframe(df)

Handling Large Datasets with Dask

When dealing with large datasets, performance can become an issue. Dask is a parallel computing library that integrates with Pandas to handle larger-than-memory datasets efficiently.

Using Dask to Query Large Tables 

Copy code
import dask.dataframe as dd

# Read data from SQL using Dask
df = dd.read_sql_table(
    table='large_table',
    uri=f'postgresql+psycopg2://{DB_USER}:{DB_PASSWORD}@{DB_HOST}:{DB_PORT}/{DB_NAME}',
    index_col='id'
)

# Perform computations with Dask DataFrame
filtered_df = df[df['value'] > 100]

# Compute the result and convert to Pandas DataFrame
result = filtered_df.compute()

# Display the result
st.write("Filtered Data:")
st.dataframe(result)

Best Practices for Database Connectivity

  • Secure Credentials: Use Streamlit's secrets management or environment variables to store sensitive information.
  • Parameterized Queries: Always use parameterized queries to prevent SQL injection.
  • Connection Management: Use context managers (with statements) to ensure connections are properly closed.
  • Error Handling: Implement try-except blocks to handle exceptions and provide user-friendly error messages.
  • Limit Data Fetching: When displaying data in the app, limit the number of rows fetched to prevent performance issues.

Summary

In this section, you've learned how to:

  • Connect to Dremio using the dremio-simple-query library and retrieve data efficiently using Apache Arrow Flight.
  • Query data from Dremio and convert it into various formats such as Arrow Tables, Pandas DataFrames, Polars DataFrames, and DuckDB relations.
  • Utilize DuckDB for in-memory analytics on data retrieved from Dremio.
  • Connect to other databases like PostgreSQL using sqlalchemy and psycopg2.
  • Handle large datasets efficiently using Dask. Implement best practices for secure and efficient database connectivity.

By integrating Dremio and other data systems into your Streamlit applications, you can create powerful data-driven apps that interact with live data sources, enabling real-time analysis and insights.
