Answer 1

How about using the FileLinks class from IPython? I use this to provide access to data directly from Jupyter notebooks. Assuming your data is in pandas dataframe p_df:

from IPython.display import FileLink, FileLinks

p_df.to_csv('/path/to/data.csv', index=False)
p_df.to_excel('/path/to/data.xlsx', index=False)

FileLinks('/path/to/')

Run this as a notebook cell and the result will be a list of links to files downloadable directly from the notebook. '/path/to' needs to be accessible for the notebook user of course.
