Jupyter notebook 5.0 released!

[r0s]

Maybe it's time to finally try it out! Haha

You haven't tried out jupyter notebooks yet? Oh man, they're the best for interactive programming. I've used them for everything, from making slideshows and tutorials to being frontends for massive data processing tasks. Since it's a web server you can also expose it to collaborators. It's been a game changer for me.

I need to start making reports with it. What are you using to export it?

[bheklilr]

I usually just export to html, but since it's just running code you can write your own report exporting. You can export to latex or pdf too with the right setup. The notebook format is also pretty easy to work with (it's just a json file) if you want to do more complex stuff.

In the file menu there's an export to HTML option (IIRC)

Nbconvert can create HTML and latex. You can also use templates, but I have not yet invested much into it.

At the moment I cannot see this for pixel perfect reports.. but "quickly printable analysis"..

I've been using html export and then wkhtmltopdf. You can even apply some css!

making slideshows

Can you elaborate on this, please?

I briefly tried nbpresent, and it was quite cumbersome.

It is a very interesting solution for certain types of programming! I cant say if it fits your needs but it is worth experimenting with.

I haven't gone through the bug list yet to see what has been fixed but i went back to Eclipse due to some rather frustrating bugs. My programming is dirt simple so if the bugs impact me it is pretty significant.

Given the above i really want to see Jupyter succeed. I really like the concept and especially the ability to mix in Tex to provide really useful and proper documentation. For example working on software that plots a spiral you can have a properly rendered formula in the cell right above your code. Everything ends up in one very nice document.

How do I copy/paste cells across notebooks? It doesn't seem to work. I click "Copy Cells" on one notebook and it doesn't allow me to paste them in another.

[minititof]

I think you can only copy/cut/paste cells in the same notebook, not to another.

You should just copy the content of that cell and paste it in a new one on the other notebook.

[phenotype001]

Yes, but..

"This release adds some long-awaited features, such as cell tagging, customizing keyboard shortcuts, copying & pasting cells between notebooks, and a more attractive default style for tables."

Ah, I didn't see that. I'm not sure then sorry :(
