### What is this PR for? This PR enables edit on double click for markdown/angular paragraph. Users can change `editOnDblClick` field to be `false` by editting `interpreter/md/interpreter-setting.json` or `conf/interpreter.json`. In the same context, users can set other type paragraphs to be editable on double click by setting `editOnDblClick` to be true. This PR also fixes bug that syntax highlight doesn't work on pasted code. ### What type of PR is it? Feature ### Todos * [x] Create test * [x] Update docs ### What is the Jira issue? [ZEPPELIN-1566](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-1566) ### How should this be tested? 1. Create new markdown interpreter 2. Create notebook and run markdown paragraph 3. Double click markdown paragraph to edit ### Screenshots (if appropriate) **Edit on double click and hide editor on paragraph run**  **Syntax highlight on paste** Before  After  ### Questions: * Does the licenses files need update? no * Is there breaking changes for older versions? no * Does this needs documentation? yes Author: Mina Lee <minalee@apache.org> Closes #1540 from minahlee/ZEPPELIN-1566 and squashes the following commits: |

Overview
Python interpreter for Apache Zeppelin
Architecture
Current interpreter implementation spawns new system python process through ProcessBuilder and re-directs it's stdin\strout to Zeppelin
Details
- UnitTests
To run full suit of tests, including ones that depend on real Python interpreter AND external libraries installed (like Pandas, Pandasql, etc) do
mvn -Dpython.test.exclude='' test -pl python -am
- Py4j support
Py4j enables Python programs to dynamically access Java objects in a JVM. It is required in order to use Zeppelin dynamic forms feature.
- bootstrap process
Interpreter environment is setup with thex bootstrap.py
It defines help() and z convenience functions
Dev prerequisites
-
Python 2 or 3 installed with py4j (0.9.2) and matplotlib (1.31 or later) installed on each
-
Tests only checks the interpreter logic and starts any Python process! Python process is mocked with a class that simply output it input.
-
Code wrote in
bootstrap.pyandbootstrap_input.pyshould always be Python 2 and 3 compliant. -
Use PEP8 convention for python code.
Technical overview
-
When interpreter is starting it launches a python process inside a Java ProcessBuilder. Python is started with -i (interactive mode) and -u (unbuffered stdin, stdout and stderr) options. Thus the interpreter has a "sleeping" python process.
-
Interpreter sends command to python with a Java
outputStreamWiterand read from anInputStreamReader. To know when stop reading stdout, interpreter sendsprint "*!?flush reader!?*"after each command and reads stdout until he receives back the*!?flush reader!?*. -
When interpreter is starting, it sends some Python code (bootstrap.py and bootstrap_input.py) to initialize default behavior and functions (
help(), z.input()...). bootstrap_input.py is sent only if py4j library is detected inside Python process. -
Py4J python and java libraries is used to load Input zeppelin Java class into the python process (make java code with python code !). Therefore the interpreter can directly create Zeppelin input form inside the Python process (and eventually with some python variable already defined). JVM opens a random open port to be accessible from python process.
-
JavaBuilder can't send SIGINT signal to interrupt paragraph execution. Therefore interpreter directly send a
kill SIGINT PIDto python process to interrupt execution. Python process catch SIGINT signal with some code defined in bootstrap.py -
Matplotlib display feature is made with SVG export (in string) and then displays it with html code.
-
%python.sqlsupport for Pandas DataFrames is optional and provided using https://github.com/yhat/pandasql if user have one installed
