ipy_table

Overview

ipy_table is a support module for IPython Notebooks. ipy_table is an independent project and is not an official component of the IPython package.

The home page for ipy_table is http://epmoyer.github.com/ipy_table/

ipy_table is maintained at http://github.com/epmoyer/ipy_table

ipython is maintained at http://github.com/ipython, and documentation is available from http://ipython.org/

Documentation

Documentation is provided by the documentation notebooks supplied with this package:

ipy_table-Introduction.ipynb
ipy_table-Reference.ipynb

The documentation notebooks can be viewed online with nbviewer at: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/epmoyer/ipy_table/master/ipy_table-Introduction.ipynb http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/epmoyer/ipy_table/master/ipy_table-Reference.ipynb

Dependencies and Supported Python Versions

At this time, ipy_table has only been tested with Python 2.7 under Linux and Windows.

ipy_table is designed to be used within an IPython Notebook.

IPython qtconsole operation is not currently officially supported. ipy_table renders tables using HTML, and HTML tables render differently in the IPython qtconsole than in an IPython notebook for reasons which I have not yet unraveled. Particularly, cell border rendering behaves differently.

Installation

1. Run ‘python setup.py install’.

2. Copy the documentation notebooks (ipy_table-Introduction.ipynb and ipy_table-Reference.ipynb) to your main IPython notebook working directory (the directory where your IPython notebooks are stored).

If you don’t know your IPython notebook working directory, start the IPython Notebook server, create a blank notebook, and execute the command ‘pwd’.

Revision History

1.11

Initial GitHub release

1.12

Adopt the standard IPython display protocol. Instead of returning an Ipython.core.display.HTML object, add the _repr_html_() method to the IpyTable class.

Remove the get_table_html() method (no longer necessary; the table HTML can now be obtained by calling _repr_html_() explicitly).

Remove the render() method from IpyTable (no longer necessary).

Remove the get_table_html() function (no longer necessary; can call render()._repr_html() in interactive mode).
