This project implements a highly secure and scalable IPython Notebook service to facilitate accessing IPython notebook servers from a browser. This is designed for teaching courses where large number of students can practise data-driven computing exercises in their browser without installing any Python packages on their machines.

• Separte Notebook server process management via Supervisor package unlike forking Notebook servers via the Apache process.
• Integrated with LDAP authentication.
• All Notebook servers are password-protected to prevent illegeal access.
• Course/site administrators can control the access to the Notebook servers. Only authorized users can access the Notebook servers.
• Mass user authorization based on CSV file uploads.
• Automatic deployment option in a virtual environment via Fabric package.

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv mysiteenv
source mysiteenv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py runserver
