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.
