There is only one mention of Python in the entire post... there are 5 mention of JavaScript. Recently, I have been mulling over the GUI creation problems and packaging problems that still plague the Python ecosystem. That being just the start of it... I guess my love affair with Python is souring a bit. Compared to JavaScript it seems like it has slowed to a crawl on the innovation front. That is, for anything NOT re…

Haha, don't worry the Python side is still quite active, and IPython is still evolving. JupyterLab is (so far) only a new UI. It still connects to all the kernels via the same protocol in the back, and we were not willing to change both at the same time. But thanks for caring and expressing concerns.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

JupyterHub is the multi-user application which will proxy a single user application. Jupyter notebook is the default single user app, but it can be configured to use jupyterlab.

Also, it should be noted that, since it just proxies a single user notebook server, JupyterHub doesn’t support any interaction, sharing, or other collaboration between users (though one could implement some of that by mounting an NFS share inside notebook containers). Still, I’ve found it quite useful for teaching. IIRC, there’s also a project underway to bring collaboration features to Jupyterhub.

To JupyterLab, yes it's working but google retired the real-time API, so the project have seen some delay as we are reimplementing the Backend server where we were hoping to use Google Drive. CoCalc (ex sagemath cloud) already have real-time notebooks.

Yeah, output right in the notebook is important. I'm wanting them to be able to do something like this in a cell: for ship in myShip.radarScan(): if ship.is_enemy: display([ship.type, ship.range, ship.bearing]) And then have that cells results always showing the current data as they play the game.

I haven't used it much, but I believe you can do this by using (or more likely slightly extending) the init_cell nbextension. https://jupyter-contrib-nbextensions.readthedocs.io/en/lates...

Oh, that's cool - it's just some javascript that's essentially clicking execute on the selected cells. That makes sense, and hacked up version of this could work fine! Thanks!

This is really exciting for the team! However I don't think that I am particularly sold on the notebook style of coding.. its possible that I simply haven't found a good use case for it, can anyone suggest an example where the notebook style outperforms a simple script based style? For reference, I use Matlab and Mathematica pretty heavily, and python in a text editor like sublime along with a terminal running ipytho…

I'm using RStudio notebooks heavily in my latest bioinformatics analysis pipeline. They're a great way to produce an HTML report containing code, exposition, results, and plots all in one place. https://github.com/DarwinAwardWinner/CD4-csaw (look at scripts/*.Rmd)

I wrote an article a few months ago on the differences between R Notebooks and Jupyter Notebooks (and why, IMO, R Notebooks are better): http://minimaxir.com/2017/06/r-notebooks/

If you like Juypter, Google colabs has a google-docs style juypter notebook that’s quite good. It’s nice for collaboration. https://colab.research.google.com/notebook

As far as I can see there's no way for a user to set the size of their infrastructure.

Yeah, you can connect your GPU for machine learning, but that seems to be it.

I'll be teaching a group of nine and ten years olds to code. I'm planning on using Jupyter. What I'd really like to do is make a multiplayer naval game, with each player controlling their ship from their own notebook. Players would start out by running commands like fire(range=400, bearing=120) right from a cell, but would later be able automate their ship - for example, pick the nearest enemy, get the range, and plu…

I know that matplotlib.pyplot has a sleep function used to animate graphs. May be worth investigating.

I like Medium, but I always struggle to find a link to the company's site. Is this hidden somewhere? I had to google it to find it, not that it was hard, but I thought it would somewhere on their Medium blog.

Oh ! Thanks, we'll try to fix that ! BTW we're not a company, but sponsored by a non profit, academics and volunteers mostly.

As someone new to not just Jupyter (and for someone coming from the Microsoft c# world, mind = blown, many kudos)....do you (or anyone else reading) happen to know off the top of your head a particularly well done, information dense (not dumbed down, showing what you can do, but skipping a hand holding explanation, one can go get that elsewhere) notebook that demonstrates a broad range of Pandas & Jupyter capabilities?
