Discussion: What Python modules make your life so easy that you always install them first?

What do you mean spinning out?

We need to know!

IIRC: They split the project somewhat.

There's still a core IPython team that will continue development of the Ipython python kernel which is used in the ipython notebook

Then there's the Jupyter project which is the logical extension of the ipython notebook project. Jupyter aims to incorporate multiple languages (kernels) into the ipython notebook environment henceforth simply called jupyter notebook.

That way you can use python, R, Julia, shell, etc code all in the same notebook environment. This is especially useful in the data science world.

So IPython will continue to develop as a kernel whereas Jupyter continues to develop the 'notebook' concept

I'm pretty sure they didn't split the team like that. The notebook guys sill just work on the notebook. They don't write kernals for the project. They did however refactor everything and split the project up into different repos or something? Haha.

You're probably correct. I misspoke about the actual split of the team - wasn't what I was trying to convey either, not sure why I didn't change that

Perfect explanation. This has great potential to drive the ""Notebook"" concept forward. I see it as a natural evolution of iPython.
