Highlighting matching parentheses

[ghost]

I have seen references to CodeMirror in the HTML of Ipython notebook, but I don't know how much has been implemented. One feature I'd really like to see is highlighting matching parentheses, similar to what CodeMirror does in this demo: http://codemirror.net/mode/python/index.html

I just came across this SO question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15715837/bracket-matching-in-ipython that suggests that it can be done but I don't know whether anyone is working on it or not.

You should try master, it should be implemented on it, I personally see it.
Do you run on master and don't see it?

I pip installed the latest version a few days ago (0.13.2) but I can't see that feature. Is it dependent on platform? I'm using Linux Mint 15, Google Chrome 27 and Firefox 21.

0.13.x is stable branch, only bug-fix, i think bracket highlight is
disponible only on last dev version. If you want to install it by you will
have to clone the repo and install it. Or use pip -e git+http and the URL
of Ipython master.

Thank you very much. It works great.

Do you recommend to use 1.0 dev on a daily basis or are there important things to sort out to make it stable?

Well, that depends on how confortable you are with running from dev and moving through git commit.
We do our best to keep master usable at all time (i'm working from master for my phd every day or so), but things can break every 2 weeks or so (not badly, just small issues) but still keep a backup of your data there have been some data loss here and there.

We are close from release, so the chance of something breaking are low (except for 1 or 2 big PR, but that might break git and not IPython itself), once 1.0 is released, things might become a little more dangerous to follow for a few weeks.

If you are using mint (base on ubuntu or lmd?) you might be able to use Julian taylor PPA that daily build IPython-dev, which is a little more secure, but in the other hand can get fixes a little slower (you have to wait 24h+...)

[Carreau]

Closing the issue also, but you can still add comment.

Thanks. Sure. I keep a back up anyway. I think I will keep 1.0 dev installed for now. Let's see how it goes. By the way, I'm using Mint based on Ubuntu.
