That's very cool. Unrelated to %loadpy, but is anyone else bothered/confused by the fact that the both the plot in the website and the plot embedded in the app are wrong? There are lines that should be blue (they don't intersect the bbox) in both that are red. I presume this is a bug in either the intersect calculation, or the plot command in the example code. -MinRK On Thu, Sep 16, 2010 at 13:36, Fernando Perez fperez@gmail.com wrote: On Tue, Sep 14, 2010 at 8:21 AM, John Hunter jdh2...@gmail.com wrote: How about this as an alternative: on my box, I can drag the source code link from the browser into my terminal, which by default pastes the URL of the referenced *.py into the terminal.

Sage provides some level of interaction actually without any deployment made
on local side. Try for instance the following example on sagenb.org
from scipy import stats
import numpy as np
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
@interact
def plot_gamma(a=(1,(1,10)), loc=(0,(0,10)), scale=(1,(1,10))):
rv = stats.gamma(a, loc, scale)
x = np.linspace(-1,20,1000)
plt.plot(x,rv.pdf(x))
plt.grid(True)
plt.savefig('plt.png')
plt.clf()
This one is very useful for educational and demonstrative purposes. Still
requires a bit Sage syntax manipulations to make things fully interacting on
browser.
Nice that you have matured IPython infra for implementing
such interactive functionality. I was thinking perhaps running something on
top GApss Engine but not sure they allow compiling/running C/C++ extensions
on their servers. Alternatively, like in Sage servers virtual OS'es might be
the way to go with it then possibly there will be user registration and
management issues (not sure about all specifics).
Probably, Ondrej might like experiencing with this idea :) Since he has
similar initiatives and asking help on similar topics. I am trying to
graduate myself working to solve some of my research problems and struggling
with writing especially to move on PhD. This might be a very fun Summer job
if I am wandering around jobless then.

Actually sage does have one *implicit* but very particular 'local
deployment': its notebook execution model is *strictly* tied to the
idea that the client is a web browser. Try this code in the sage
terminal (i.e. their customized ipython, not the notebook):
sage: @interact
: def x(a=(1, (1, 10))):
: print a
:
and you'll see:
html!--notruncate--div padding=6 id='div-interact-0' table
width=800px height=20px bgcolor='#c5c5c5'
cellpadding=15trtd bgcolor='#f9f9f9' valign=top
align=lefttabletrtd align=rightfont
color=blackanbsp;/font/tdtdtabletrtd
div id='slider-a-0' style='margin:0px; margin-left: 1.0em;
margin-right: 1.0em; width: 15.0em;'/div
... lots more...
/tablediv id='cell-interact-0'?__SAGE__START
table border=0 bgcolor='#white' width=100% height=100%
trtd bgcolor=white align=left
valign=toppre?__SAGE__TEXT/pre/td/tr
trtd align=left valign=top?__SAGE__HTML/td/tr
/table?__SAGE__END/div/td
/tr/table/div
/html
sage:
So you can see, @interact in sage does basically:
- analyze the inputs of the function
- do some basic 'type inference' and emit javascript/html controls for
each parameter.
- emit an html section that wires the above controls to repeated calls
of the decorated function as the controls are operated.
This is very cool, and it enables great functionality, but it's
hard-coded to an html/javascript client.
What we're doing is a little different, as we've built a *protocol*
that clients can use to talk to the kernel, regardless of how they are
implemented.
As the functionality matures, we'll see who contributes a
browser-based client (that will require wrapping the kernel in an http
server, obviously). And then the question of things like @interact
will be an interesting one to think about. @interact by nature is
creating a user interface (Mathematica's Manipulate creates Notebook
controls, sage's @interact creates HTML ones). I'm not sure yet how
we'll approach that: having per-client implementations? A traits-style
approach where each client renders it differently? No idea yet.
Cheers,
f

Location: file:///home/fperez/ipython/ipython/bad.svg Line Number 287, Column 3:/svg --^ In summary: we can run pretty much any MPL example by straight copy/paste, and the only two glitches I see are in the SVG data itself. Once the other two buglets I reported earlier get fixed up, this will be a very nice way to interact with MPL. One small request: is it possible/easy to add to the MPL examples a little 'copy to clipboard' button or link? Now that one can copy/paste wholesale examples into an interactive session to explore them, it feels annoying to have to highlight the whole text box and then do Ctrl-C or menu-copy. It would be really nice to have a one-click 'copy to clipboard'... But I have no idea if that's easy or hard in HTML... +1 to this!

Thanks, that's good to know. But I'm mostly thinking of teaching situations, so it would be nice to have this in the source: it's not for my use but for the benefit of students who may be in a lab where they can't install extensions. But I don't know if that can even be done in html in the first place.
