       print("Hello")
       
       # simply disable the button by setting the 'disabled' variable
       my_btn.disabled = True

   from button_execute import ExecuteButton
   # when clicking the button, the next 3 Jupyter notebook cells will be executed
   my_btn = ExecuteButton(button_text="Run analysis", n_next_cells=3)
   
   # if you register a callback function, this function will be executed
   # before the subsequent cells are being executed
   my_btn.on_click(my_function)
