Perhaps having these loaded automatically is not the right approach. I appreciate that those three lines have nothing to do with what you want to teach. But magically having "np" and "plt" available without doing anything can also be confusing, especially if the students move to a different environment, or if you want to share your materials with others that have a standard environment. I would reconsider, and perhaps just import those when you need them. Or, create a standard way of loading them (maybe a standard magic, or create your own). Maybe you want to create your own python module around matplotlib, to make it even easier? -Doug > > Thanks, > > Ryan > -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Project Jupyter" group.
