please put python and text editor in the web only ipython

[davidjensen]

I just got ipython working for browser only, so I have not yet seen a python editor for files in the browser only version. A work around is to read in the file (f=open()), but there seems to a lot of hacking to get that to work.

EditArea seems to be a possibility, but the last version was 2010.

You can use this to write to a file

%%file filename
your file content

Be carefull it won't warn before overwriting...

you can load a file into the next cell with

%load filename

as usual, you can get more info with ?, also by reading the introductions, and example in /docs/examples/notebooks.

It worked. ipython is brilliant and there had to be a solution using an In, which already handles Python code. This should be in the main documentation as it is almost always needed.

%%file is a bit of a rough and ready solution - we do plan to put an editor in as well, see issue #1581. In fact, this is a duplicate of that, so I'll close this one.

I assume the editor will be included in a file managere
