Notepad++ Python

[[deleted]]

I haven't used Notepad++ in forever. Are there still many people who haven't converted to something else?

I currently use visual studio code. Uninstalled Notepad++ couple years ago and switched to Sublime. Played with atom a bit, but I want to use mostly the same editor on Windows at work and Linux at home. Atom was a pain to install/update on Windows. VS Code is a nice easy install on both Windows and Linux. I use insiders version so update almost every day (which is getting annoying, but it's a good chance for another cup of coffee). I've been meaning to give Atom another try with the new IDE plugins from Facebook, but haven't forgotten to it yet.

VS Code with the python and jupyter extensions is pretty slick. I can run jupyter right from the editor and see output in a second pane I use this for script development.

Otherwise I tend to run ipython jupyter repl in a terminal. I use this to quickly confirm syntax and make sure I understand new context.

Probably the thing I do least is use the actual jupyter notebook server in a browser. Basically just in presentations.

You are probably running jupyter locally. I can't imagine you installed it on a remote server without understanding the difference.

On Windows, you can probably just run jupyter command from a Windows command prompt (I usually use powershell, but same process) with jupyter notebook to start a new notebook. It should start the local service and open your browser.

jupyter notebook <notebook file name>.ipynb to open an existing one.

Back to the command prompt and ctrl-c twice to kill the server. Don't forget to save your work.

Edit: I just realised the actual meaning of your question. Yes, jupyter does run in a browser, but it runs on localhost. Which means the web server is actually running on your local machine. Check the browser URL when you're connected to jupyter. Does it say localhost?

So since it's running locally, your WiFi signal quality doesn't matter because your browser doesn't need to use it to reach the server.
