The UI is obviously inspired by Rstudio for R. And I have zero objections to that; this is something that I've wanted for awhile, after having difficulty with PyCharm for my Python-related data projects. I'll play around with it a bit.

As a heads up, the setup workflow assumes you are on OS X, which may be a problem if it asks you to open a Terminal on Windows: http://i.imgur.com/nya50e4.png

hey minimaxir, the commands should still work if you have python and/or conda installed. if you have any issues you can post here: https://github.com/yhat/rodeo/issues.

thanks for trying it out!

That works for the pip command. Since people who analyze data may not necessarily be experts at the command line, I recommend relooking at this workflow.

matplotlib, however, fails to install completely with this method on Windows for subtle reasons. Filed: https://github.com/yhat/rodeo/issues/204

The documentation just points to a blog article on how to install matplotlib on Windows.

I'm curious what advantages are there with this or (PyCharm) over something like Spyder?

I'd like to know this too... Comparison between PyCharm, Canopy, Spyder, Yhat, etc.

After using it for 10 minutes, it feels identical to RStudio. That's a good thing.
