Streamlit

Streamlit is an open-source Python framework designed for data scientists and AI/ML engineers to create interactive data applications with minimal code. Developers write Python scripts enhanced with Streamlit commands and run them using a single command, which launches a local server and opens the app in a web browser. The framework supports displaying data frames, charts, maps, text, and interactive widgets such as sliders, buttons, checkboxes, and selectboxes. Streamlit apps rerun the entire script from top to bottom upon user interactions to update the display dynamically. The framework includes features like sidebar layouts for control widgets, multipage app support through page definitions and navigation components, and theming options including Light, Dark, and custom themes configurable via a configuration file. Streamlit is distributed as open-source software, with no pricing details publicly provided.

Interactive Data Visualization

Data scientists can create apps that display data frames, charts, and maps with interactive widgets to explore datasets.

Rapid Prototyping of AI/ML Models

AI/ML engineers can build interfaces to test and demonstrate machine learning models with live input controls.

1
Install Streamlit
Install Streamlit using pip.
2
Add Streamlit Commands
Add Streamlit commands such as import streamlit as st and use elements like st.write or widgets in your Python script.
3
Run the Script
Run the script with streamlit run your_script.py to start a local server and open the app in a browser.
4
Interact with Widgets
Use widgets in the app; the script reruns top-to-bottom on changes to update the display.
5
Create Multipage Apps
Organize your app into multiple pages by creating page files and an entry point script using st.Page and st.navigation.
