bokeh.sampledata¶
The sampledata module can be used to download data sets used in Bokeh
examples.
The simplest way to download the data is to use the execute the command line program:
bokeh sampledata
Alternatively, the download function described below may be called
programmatically.
>>> import bokeh.sampledata
>>> bokeh.sampledata.download()
By default, data is downloaded and stored to a directory $HOME/.bokeh/data.
This directory will be created if it does not already exist.
Bokeh also looks for a YAML configuration file at $HOME/.bokeh/config. The
YAML key sampledata_dir can be set to the absolute path of a directory where
the data should be stored. For example, add the following line to the
config file:
sampledata_dir: /tmp/bokeh_data
This will cause the sample data to be stored in /tmp/bokeh_data.
