Spyder 2.2 second public beta release

[Carlos Córdoba]

Hi all,

On the behalf of Spyder's development team, I'm pleased to announce the
second beta of our 2.2 version.

This new beta comes with a lot of love for MacOS X users: we fixed
several outstanding bugs on this platform and updated our DMG
installers, which now come with Pandas, PIL, scikit-image, scikit-learn
and sympy. Besides, thanks to Sylvain Corlay, we changed the icons of
our new Debug toolbar and also added support to make it work with the
IPython console.

We've been working on Spyder 2.2 for almost a year and as far as we know
is very stable. There are still some minor bugs to squash but we
encourage all people who like the bleeding edge to give it a try. It
comes with several improvements, the most important ones being: better
IPython integration, a new debugger toolbar, breakpoints widget and a
MacOs X application.

See the incomplete changelog here:
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/wiki/ChangeLogBeta

And don't forget to follow Spyder updates/news on the project website
(http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/) and on our official blog
(http://spyder-ide.blogspot.com/). In the next couple of weeks I'll be
writing a series of blogs describing in more detail our new changes

Enjoy!
Carlos

Bravo! 

Spyder is becoming the coolest python IDE! I really like how ipython is integrated in the IDE. 

-> I still have a few problems in the case of an IPython console connected to an existing kernel:

-The "Run selected text" button does not work in this case.

-Neither does Jed's debug toolbar. 

Generally, the presence of an ipython console connected to an external kernel messes interaction with any other ipython console. 

-> By the way, this "Run selected text" is a feature that is intensely used by Matlab afficionados arround me. It would be great if it was available in the right-click menu of the editor. 

-> Something that should be a very very quick fix: add *.ipynb files to the default File explorer filter. 

Cheers,

Sylvain

Hi Sylvain,

1. You're right: neither "Run block" nor "Run file" are working for external IPython kernels. I opened a new issue for it (1249) and I'll try to fix it for the next beta.

2. Yep, it'd be easy to implement "Run cell" now that we have a pretty good IPython integration. We even have an Issue for it (852), but it requires some time to do it right. I'll work on it after 2.2 is released.

3. Do you want to edit ipynb as plain text files? Because we can't open them as notebooks right now, but hope to do it for 2.3.

Cheers,
Carlos

Hi Carlos,

Thanks for your reply, it would be great if this problem with external ipython kernel worked in the next release! 

Regarding the second point, I was simply thinking of the already existing "run selection" button which could be made available in the right-click menu.

For the *.ipynb files, it is just because these files are naturally located in the same directory and are more or less part of the project. It can be confusing not to see them in the file explorer. 

Best,

Sylvain

Hi Carlos,

I am using git for version control.

If I right-click on a git-project in the project explorer and select
"browse repository" I get the message:

"Unable to find external program. Please install git!"

But git is installed.
(I am using Ubuntu 12.04, 32 bit)

Any idea?

I found what was missing:

I had to install the Ubuntu package "git-gui".

Please fix the error message so that it says that "git gui" is missing!

Best regards:

Uwe Fechner

Thomas,

I'm not sure if this is the best method but I just unzipped the zip file and ran 'bootstrap.py'.

Hi Carlos,

I ran the setup on a Win32 system, with Python 2.7.3. installed, but Spyder 2.2.0.beta1/2 (I tried both) would not start. Had to revert to 2.1.
Any suggestions? I have been craving for Spyder 2.2 for months!

Hi Thomas,

Can you give a traceback of spyder crashing? Try to launch spyder from the command line with the debug flag: spyder --debug

Alternatively, you run the bootstrap method as mentioned by Doug.
