create pvviewer to work with jupyter notebook

Hi, thanks for this. I've merged your PR into master. Having better support for ipython (aehm jupyter) notebooks has been on my todo list for a while but I have never found the time to implement a python wrapper so far. How are you currently using this? Are you also doing structure analysis in the jupyter notebooks and are just using PV to display structures on the side? In that case, it would make sense to also provide functionality in python to display local structure files, and allow to tweak the coloring as well as the display of it through properties. Best, |

I'm glad to hear this was useful! This was actually mainly a proof-of-concept I made for my colleague @ebrunk to demonstrate that this is possible... I agree that adding local files (trivial to add) and the ability to tweak the display style would make this useful to even more people. I think that can be done pretty easily by mirroring the properties which can be set by PV in the PDBViewer class and having the javascript render function apply those. I'm sure @ebrunk has lots of ideas for other features as well. |

Also may I suggest you claim the pvviewer package name on pypi.python.org (or whatever name you feel you want the python package to be installed as) |
|
Hi, I guess that depends: if you feel like taking this further yourself, it probably makes more sense for you to claim the package on pypi.python.org and be listed as the main author :). Best, |
|
Well in any case I made the package. If have (or want to make) a pypi account, I can add it to the "administrator" list. |
|
Thanks! |

Hello, It looks like you've improved this even more! I really don't think I'll have time to take this any further, however. If you want the pvviewer package name I can give it to you if you give me your pypi username. |
This allows easy viewing of PDB structures within the ipython/jupyter notebook interface.
