Starting notebook

[Kevin Horton]

I've got spd running on an EeePC 901, Linux version. Spd runs, but the
notebook won't start:

% spd
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
| Source Python Distribution, Version 3.4.2spd2, Release Date: 2009-05-15 |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. |
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
In [1]: notebook()
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
NameError Traceback (most recent call last)

/home/user/apps/spd-3.4.2spd2/local/bin/<ipython console> in <module>()

NameError: name 'notebook' is not defined

=====================================
I then tried "spd -notebook" from the command line, and that worked.
But the instructions seen after starting spd are clearly misleading.

What type of bugs are you interested in learning about:

1. Report major issues only - don't report bugs with documentation or
general polish issues, or

2. Report all issues, including glitches with docs, etc.

This is fixed in our git version:

Yes, I agree. This is fixed in the git version, we just have to
release it, I haven't got to it yet.

Btw, here are instructions how to start notebook:

http://code.google.com/p/spdproject/

e.g. you have to:

$ ./spd

In [1]: from sage.server.notebook.notebook_object import notebook
In [2]: notebook()

and it should just work.

The notebook package is still a little rough over the edges, as it is
a new thing to use it without Sage. Another problem is this:

Report everything. Just create new issues in the issue tracker:

Thanks again for giving SPD a shot. It took me and Brian lots of time
just to get to this point, where it actually builds and the notebook
works. Now we need to polish it and send most patches back to Sage.
