documentation is incorrect for install process

[pleabargain]

I have ipython .13 installed and it works

I'm running python3.2

I'm trying to get .13.1 installed and notebook to work. Both = NO joy.

Please help!

Here is the troubleshooting video I made:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1jTTGnaZ09U

The install instructions are not correct/updated/accurate:

http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/install/install.html

sudo is necessary to get the commands to even try to work

does not work
easy_install ipython[zmq,qtconsole,notebook,test]
does not work, throws missing qtconsole error

does not work
http://wiki.ipython.org/Python_3
Ubuntu pkgs are not updated and do not include iptyhon-notebook
Inaccurate:
"As of Ubuntu 12.04, the packages ipython3 and ipython3-qtconsole are available in the repositories, along with all their dependencies. 12.10 will also include ipython3-notebook."

does not work
sudo easy_install ipython3-qtconsole
No local packages or download links found for ipython3-qtconsole

does not work
sudo easy_install ipython3-notebook
No local packages or download links found for ipython3-notebook

Does:

sudo apt-get install ipython3-qtconsole
sudo apt-get install ipython3-notebook

Work for you?

Thank you for the quick reply.

yes
sudo apt-get install ipython3-qtconsole

no
sudo apt-get install ipython3-notebook
Error: Unable to locate package ipython3-notebook

Which version of Ubuntu are you running? That statement looks quite accurate to me.

I suggest you use this PPA, which has newer versions of IPython, including ipython3-notebook.

https://launchpad.net/~jtaylor/+archive/ipython

(Oh, and easy_install ipython3-qtconsole won't work - ipython3-qtconsole is the name of an Ubuntu package, which you install with apt-get. easy_install looks for Python packages on PyPI.)

[pleabargain]

Thank you for the quick replies. I've loaded the new PPA (https://launchpad.net/~jtaylor/+archive/ipython)
ppa:jtaylor/ipython

here is my latest troubleshooting video
http://youtu.be/fXASK1ZSp3Y

(a special PPA is not something mentioned in the help docs BTW)
http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/interactive/htmlnotebook.html

and these worked
sudo apt-get install ipython3
sudo apt-get install ipython3 notebook

Neither install threw errors

but
ipython3 - V
comes back as .13

as does ipython3 notebook -V
comes back as .13

So, is the PPA pulling .13.1 and the pkg not been updated?
OR
am I still running ipython .13? What command can I use to be sure that I'm running .13.1?

That said, notebook now appears to be working which it didn't before.

Going forward, I want to create little notebooks for teaching basics of Python. Has anyone on this list gone down that road before? Are there libraries of ipynb to be found in one place? If yes, where?

This is more appropriate on the User ML, and you will have more response.

There are some ipynb in the source tree and in some other ipython organisation repository.
We don't keep an explicit list of ipynb files used, but a few project have ipynb example files, also http://software-carpentry.org/ decided to make ipython notebook files their default teaching material, so you might find something there.

ipython 0.13.1 will be backported to ubuntu 12.04
but currently a few things still need testing, see:

@juliantaylor Thanks Julian! I thought I was losing my mind!

[pleabargain]

@Carreau Thank you. I'm using Titus Brown's demo now and learning as I go... :)

Current docs do work, closing.
