IntroductionsHow did you get introduced to Python? – ChrisFor anyone who may not have heard of or used IPython, can you describe what it is?How challenging was it to port IPython to Python 3?Thomas KluyverWhat prompted the name change from IPython to Project Jupyter and were there any associated changes in the project itself? Name inspired by Julia, Python and R – the three programming languages of data scienceData scientists have adopted the use of IPython notebooks in their work on a large scale, what is it about notebooks that lend themselves to this particular problem domain? Bayesian methods for Hackers – Cameron Davidson-PilonSignal processing in PythonO’Reilly added support for notebooks into Atlas publishing platformIPython Notebook seems like an incredible tool for educators is advanced fields. Have you seen wide spread adoption in this area and is it a focus for the project? NBGrader – notebook graderGithub recently added the ability to render notebooks in a repo. Did you work with them to build that integration?
What are some of the most interesting uses of IPython notebooks that you have seen? Gallery of interesting notebooks on the wikiReproducible academic publicationsCouple of dozen scientific papers, some very high profileEducational notebooks on various subjects
Great learning resource, as well as entertaining
MOOC taught between distributed team on Open EdX using IPython notebooks about numerical computing with Python
Peter Norvig collection of IPython notebooks Includes analysis of traveling salesman problemnotebooks.codeneuro.org– time series data analysis <- Couldn’t get this to work. -Chris
Are there any notable projects that use IPython as one of their components? KBase for computational biologySage – Open source mathematics project written in PythonCreated by number theorist William SteinCustom parser to allow for non-python syntaxQuantopian – Collaborative platform for financial modeling. Runs on top of IPython
Wakari from Continuum Analytics – hosted IPython with computing environment
Rackspace hosts TempNB and other IPython services
Where do you see Project Jupyter going in the future? Are there any particular new features you’d like to see added? – Tobias One of the biggest targeted features is real-time collaborationPrototyped by engineers from GoogleMore modular UI and architecture
Multi-user deployments with Jupyter Hub
A few weeks ago we interviewed Jonathan Slenders who wrote ptpython, which brings IDE like capabilities to interactive Python. Have you ever considered including this in IPython?
What are some of the features that an average user might not know about?
Is there anything in particular that you would like to ask our listeners for help with? Pitch in with the development effortOrganize community events on behalf of IPython/JupyterBe patient while documentation improves Picks
