FWIW, I used MathCAD extensively around that period while in grad school (I taught physics lab courses that were 100% structured around MathCAD workflows). I hated it, and Jupyter is explicitly informed by that experience. So it's n

There's a higher quality PDF available [here]( http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.13.... ), it has a credit footnote: "Converted to electronic version by: Roby Joehanes, Kansas State Unive

+1 to the team that's been doing a phenomenal job on the project... These days I'm just an email answering machine :) But yes, JLab is shaping up quite nicely, opening up a lot of interesting possibilities. For advanced users&#x2

And btw, it's worth mentioning that in JupyterLab, we just merged a PR that will make embedding the Monaco editor (the editing component of VS code) much easier: https://github.com/jupyterlab/jupyterlab/pull&#

IPython creator here, just to say I'm thrilled to see this! We've wanted more languages to follow this route, and while we have only had time to work directly with the Julia team, it's fabulous to see others following up wi

I'm also a researcher, but I've had to learn how these things work :) When you accept funds for a grant, that's a contract between the funding agency and typically your employer (UC Berkeley in my case), not you as a person.

The work @smortaz and the PTVS team have done with IPython over the years is awesome, and we're really very thankful for this!

Note that this is a donation, not a grant. The legal terms are completely different.

a) it's $100k we didn't have, and which we greatly appreciate. We have a 'donate' button on the site, but that's basically a few dollars a day, more or less. It will pay for pizza for a sprint every few months, and

Feel free to ask for help on our mailing list. We regularly test IPython with python 3.3, and one of our core developers is a python-3 person, so he's using it day in, day out. You most likely didn't run the installer correctly, a

IPython is actually almost 12 years old, I started the project while a grad student in 2001.

We are extremely aware of this fact, and are working very, very hard to ensure that the format is a robust component of long-lived, archival-quality workflows. We (in the IPython project) are interested in using it for capturing reproducibl

Please ping us on the ipython-dev mailing list; the core team is all made up of academics and we have a strong interest in educational uses (we're using it for our own courses), so it will be good to coordinate/share ideas on this

Indeed, and communicating that clearly and effectively is something that we don't always succeed at. This is the reason why, on many occasions I had to resist fairly vociferous requests that we split up the parallel computing code fr

Glad to be of use :) Do you have the original SVG sources for the image?

by fperez_org 13y ago
Hey guys, would you be OK if we use the image at the top of that notebook in the official IPython docs/tutorials/talks? We haven't made one that nice yet :) If you have the svg sources, that would be awesome...

You can always use `%doctest_mode` to toggle back and forth between IPython-style prompts and `>>>` ones (along with changing exception mode to be more standard-looking).

@takluyver, maybe you should come to Berkeley for a while, so we can think about some of these issues... :-)

I think I've only commented a handful of times, I'm not really a regular. But many thanks for the kind words, and to @profjsb for the generous writeup. As I tried to say at the meeting, this really goes to the whole team. I may have star

Note that we also intend to at least expose Emacs/vim keybindings for the text area as soon as possible. It's not hard as codemirror has most of the bits we need, we just haven't had the time for it.
