Cell-based input for console and qt frontends?

[vext01]

Hi,

I like the idea of the notebook, but not in a browser. Would it be possible to have a cell-based input mode for the console-based and qt-based modes?

I am not sure how much work that would entail.

Cheers

If you just want multi-line input, you can use the Qt console: hit Ctrl-enter for a new line.

If you're an Emacs user, there's a third party Emacs IPython Notebook: http://tkf.github.com/emacs-ipython-notebook/

If neither of those meets your needs, then the answer is: quite a bit of work, but not impossible. However, I don't think it's something we're going to take on in the near future.

Well yes, however this does not start a new cell.

I have never used emacs.

That's a shame. Thanks anyway.

OK, I'll close this issue, since it's not something I see us working on.

Just on quick addition.
I tried to embed the notebook in a qt application+webkit view an themed it so that it looked like the qtconsole.
It was working great, but the problem was that Javascript VM was painfully slow. Maybe once those issues have been resolved we'll have something.

@Carreau, is your work on a branch I can take a look at? I tried the notebook on Rekonq (a pure QtWebKit browser) a couple of months ago and it worked just fine (and I think others have had the same experience).

I would like to test it because we at Spyder want to embed the notebook for our next release (2.3).

Ouch, that was quite some time ago and I'm not even sure I kept everything.

the following seem to be relevant, seeing it's name

https://github.com/Carreau/ipython/commits/webconsole

And also the file attached, but you will be pretty disappointed. (it's 5lines...)

If I had to redo it I would look at chromium embedded.
