While you're on the waiting list: https://notebooks.azure.com/

Supports more than Python 2.7: https://notebooks.azure.com/help/jupyter-notebooks/available...

(disclaimer: work for Microsoft (though not Azure)).

Does this support real-time editing with someone else (similar to Google Docs?).

I've been using JupyterLab [0] + Google Drive [1] plugin for this. It uses Drive's API for doing real-time collaboration and let's you code in real time with someone else. It's the only solution I've found for this that doesn't require you to pay an arm to use.

Another competitor is CoCalc (https://cocalc.com/) created by the SageMath developers.

There is also JuliaBox (https://www.juliabox.com) if you prefer Julia to Python.

I really like the Azure notebooks, and its hard to see what extra Google are bringing here.

I'd like to test various deeplearning frameworks, but would prefer not to setup my own testing server in the cloud.

Is there a guide to installing frameworks in azure notebooks? I don't mind paying for using it.

Was disappointed to see 2.7.12 only.

Just tried azure, looks legit. 2.6, 3.5, 3.6, and R

F# too!

Last time I tried this you couldn't import libraries.

  !pip install <>
