A notebook interface for wxpython
Project description
Introduction
Pynotebook is a an interactive shell for python, similar to the python command line but much nicer to work with. Noteboks can contain python code together with output and documentation. Nootebooks are a pleasent way to develop python code and to document and store your ideas.
The “notebook” concept originally appeared with the program Mathematica and became famous for python with the iPython/Jupyter project. Unlike iPython, pynotebook does not need a webbrowser, c extensions or anything except python and wxPython . Pynotebook runs out of the box and is therefore easy to embed and distribute.
Most notable features of pynotebook are:
syntax highlighting
command completion (tab-key)
builtin graphics
plotting via matplotlib
BSD-license
Pynotebook can be used as stand alone application (pynb) or as a widget in wx programs.
There are a couple of demo applications:
the pynb application
a plotting demo
a notebook interface to Gnu R
The later demonstrates how to completely modify the notebook. It uses rpy2 for interfacing Gnu R and Pygments Pygments for colorization.
Installation:
Do in a console:matplotlib
python ./setup.py build
and then as root:
python ./setup.py install
This will install the pynb application and the pynotebook module.
To open a notebook:
pynb demo/ball.pyb
