I came across this issue while looking for a way to spawn Datasette as a SQLite files viewer in JupyterLab. I found https://github.com/simonw/jupyterserverproxy-datasette-demo which seems to be the most up to date proof of concept, but it seems to be failing to list the available db (at least in the Binder demo, https://hub.gke.mybinder.org/user/simonw-jupyters--datasette-demo-uw4dmlnn/datasette/, I only have `:memory`).

Does anyone tried to improve on this proof of concept to have a Datasette visualization for SQLite files?

Thanks!","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",396212021,base_url configuration setting,

This looks great, thanks for the share! I refactored it into a self-contained function, binding on a random available TCP port (multi-user context). I am using subprocess API directly since the `%run` magic was leaving defunct process behind :/

    ) as p:
        print(p.stdout.readline(), end='')
        while True:
            try:
                line = p.stderr.readline()
                if not line:
                    break
                print(line, end='')
                exit_code = p.poll()
            except KeyboardInterrupt:
                p.send_signal(SIGINT)
```

Ideally, I'd like some extra magic to notify users when they are leaving the closing the notebook tab and make them terminate the running datasette processes. I'll be looking for it.","{""total_count"": 1, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 1, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",396212021,base_url configuration setting,
