Hi All,

i'm really happy with spyder, in the last week i was really positive impressed
by python notebook option providing an ip and an hostname is now easy to run 
the same python environment on the network.

My question, is on the spider roadmap an python notebook integration, 
maybe using qtwebkit this should be easy to implement

essentially running the command :

ipython notebook --pylab inline --ip 'my.ip' --ws-hostname 'my.ip'

while print a link in the terminal, spider should be able to read this link and open it inside a PyQt network page
where the user can open several tabs .. one for each python kernel he want run.

what do you think about ?

thanks for any comment.

--Massimo.

Hi Massimo,

We are following quite closely the development of the ipython notebook and we surely want to integrate it with Spyder using QtWebkit, as you mentioned. Right now the notebook is working quite well under rekonq, so we are confident we won't have problems in that front.

The good thing is that we can provide better facilities than the notebook has right now, like presenting docstrings in html and inspecting/modifying variables with the variable explorer. The bad thing is that the integration will probably have to wait until we properly integrate ipython qtconsole first, which is our top priority now. I'd say the notebook integration will be ready in the next six months, depending in developers time resources.

Cheers,
Carlos

That's great!

indeed python notebook is an option more to the wonderful spider environment!
actually i was just working the doctoring and looks really nice to have them available inside spider.

a quick question, is there the possibility to ember the graph generated by matlpotlib inside the spider guy something like "plot tab widjet"
i a way like the pylab inline option does with python notebook ?
maybe i just have to search on the list history .. i remember some topic about this

thanks for the grab job spider team !!!

Window plots inside the main window was a feature of the Spyder 1 series. Unfortunately that was deprecated in version 2 because, I think, it made the whole application too unstable. However, as you mention, with the inline feature of qtconsole and the notebook that won't be much of a problem.

Hi Carlos, 

I can imagine that this would be a long term project to have a QtWebkit-based integration of the notebook into Spyder. Do you guys have any specific plan regarding this? 

And by the way, I could test the Debian package for 2.2 in SID, and it works just perfectly, congrats!

Best, 

Sylvain

Hi Sylvain,

Notebook integration is planned for 2.3 whose (tentative) release date is in September.

I'm in the planning stage right now, thinking what could be the best way to accomplish this task in the same way as we did with qtconsole. Besides, we are waiting for some important changes to be merged in IPython that will make our job a lot more easier.

I hope to have something working by the end of June or mid July.

Cheers,
Carlos

Hi Carlos, September is not so far ! Awesome. I would be glad to test it as soon as you can share something. 
Cheers,
