I just try to get myself familiar with datalab (for data preprocessing) by following the document, and the best guide I found is the one on the official website (https://cloud.google.com/ml-engine/docs/datalab). I installed the shell, created a new instance of the virtual machine, connected to it, and now I can see the folder (/docs/ and /notebooks/).
\n\nHowever, if I open a notebook and try to run some code within it, nothing happened except a “localhost is not responding due to long-running scripts”. I am not running any heavy task, just a simple “hello, world” printing.
\n\nI don’t know if I miss anything here. Any hints or suggestions are very welcome.
