 Hi,
 you projects looks really great!
 I was wondering if you are making use of any pre-existing javascript
 plotting library like flot or flotr2 ?
 And if not, what are your reasons ?


We did not use any pre-existing JS plotting library.  At the time we were
exploring our options (and I believe this still to be the case), the
plotting libraries were all architected to (1) have their plots specified
by JS code, (2) interact with mouse/keyboard via DOM events and JS
callbacks; (3) process data locally in the JS namespace.  Flot was one of
the few that actually had any support for callbacks to retrieve data from a
server, but even so, its data model was very limited.

We recognized that in order to support good interaction with a non-browser
language, we would need a JS runtime that was *designed* to sync its object
models with server-side state, which could then be produced and modified by
other languages.  (Python is the first language for Bokeh, of course, but
other languages should be pretty straightforward.)  We also wanted to
structure the interaction model at a higher level, and offer the
configuration of interactions from a non-JS language.

It's not entirely obvious from our current set of initial examples, but if
you use the output_server() mode of bokeh, and you grab the Plot object
via curplot(), you can modify graphical and data attributes of the plot,
and *they are reflected in realtime in the browser*.  This is independent
of whether your plot is in an output cell of an IPython notebook, or
embedded in some HTML page you wrote - the BokehJS library powering those
plots are watching for server-side model updates automagically.

Lastly, most of the JS plotting libraries that we saw took a very
traditional perspective on information visualization, i.e. they treat it as
mostly as a rendering task.  So, you pass in some configuration and it
rasters some pixels on a backend or outputs some SVG.  None of the ones I
looked at used a scene-graph approach to info viz.  Even the venerable
d3.js did not do this; it is a scripting layer over DOM (including SVG),
and its core concepts are the primitives of the underlying drawing system,
and not ones appropriate to the infovis task.  (Only recently did they add
an axis object, and there still is not any reification of coordinate
spaces and such AFAIK.)

The charting libraries that build on top of d3 (e.g. nvd3 and d3-chart)
exist for a reason... but they mostly just use d3 as a fancy SVG rendering
layer.  And, once again, they live purely in Javascript, leaving
server-side data and state management as an exercise to the
scientist/analyst.

FWIW, I have CCed the Bokeh discussion list, which is perhaps a more
appropriate list for further discussion on this topic.  :-)

 I have to go digging in github or somewhere to see how you made these

You actually should not need nodejs, redis, and gevent if you just want to
embed the full source code of bokeh.js into the IPython notebook itself.
 Also, the data will be baked into the DOM as javascript variables.

You will still have interactivity *within* plots inside a single Notebook,
but they will not drive events back to the server side.  Also, if your data
is large, then the notebook will also get pretty big.  (We will be working
on more efficient encodings in a future release.)

 It would be really cool if you could hook into the new IPython comm

 The comm infrastructure basically opens up a communication channel

 the normal IPython channels.  The server and browser objects just use
 either send() or an on_message() handler.  See
 https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/4195


Yeah, I think we should definitely look into integrating with this
mechanism for when we are embedded in a Notebook.  However, we always want
the underlying infrastructure to be independent of IPython Notebook,
because we want people to be able to build analytical applications on top
of these components.


 Here's a very simple example of the Comm implementation working with
 matplotlib images in the Sage Cell server (which is built on top of the
 IPython infrastructure):  http://sagecell.sagemath.org/?q=fyjgmk (I'd
 love to see a bokeh version of this sort of thing :).


This is interesting, and introducing widgets is already on the roadmap,
tentatively v0.4.  When running against a plot server, Bokeh plots already
push selections back to the server side.  (That's how the linked brushing
in e.g. this example works: https://www.wakari.io/sharing/bundle/pwang/cars)

Our immediate short-term priorities for 0.3 are improving the layout
mechanism, incorporating large data processing into the plot server, and
investigating basic interop with Matplotlib objects.

Depends how you define adequate.  If these companies stopped being

the lack of a test suite, then they would immediately put all their
efforts on it.  But for users for whom Numpy (and software in general)
is merely a means to an end, the management of technical debt and
future technology risk is merely one component of all the risk factors
facing the organization.  Every hour spent managing code and technical
debt is an hour of lost business opportunity, and that balance is very
conscientiously weighed and oftentimes the decision is not in the
direction of quality of software process.

In my experience, it's a toss up.. most people have reasonable unit
tests and small integration tests, but large scale smoke tests can be
very difficult to maintain or to justify to upper management.  Because
Numpy can be both a component of larger software or a direct tool in
its own right, I've found that it makes a big difference whether an
organization sees code as a means to an end, or an ends unto itself.

Re: [Numpy-discussion] Numpy governance update

On Feb 16, 2012, at 12:08 AM, Matthew Brett wrote:

 The question is more about what can possibly be done about it. To really
 shift power, my hunch is that the only practical way would be to, like
 Mark said, make sure there are very active non-Continuum-employed
 developers. But perhaps I'm wrong.
 
 It's not obvious to me that there isn't a set of guidelines,
 procedures, structures that would help to keep things clear in this
 situation.

Matthew, I think this is the crux of the issue.

There are two kinds of disagreements which could polarize Numpy development: 
disagreements over vision/values, and disagreements over implementation.  The 
latter can be (and has been) resolved in an ad-hoc fashion because we are all 
consenting adults here, and as long as there is a consensus about the shared 
values (i.e. long-term vision) of the project, we can usually work something 
out.

Disagreements over values and long-term vision are the ones that actually do 
split developer communities, and which procedural guidelines are really quite 
poor at resolving.  In the realm of open source software, value differences 
(most commonly, licensing disagreements) generally manifest as forks, 
regardless of what governance may be in place.  At the end of the day, you 
cannot compel people to continue committing to a project that they feel is 
going the *wrong direction*, not merely the right direction in the wrong way.

In the physical world, where we are forced to share geographic space with 
people who may have vastly different values, it is useful to have a framework 
for resolution of value differences, because a fork attempt usually means 
physical warfare.  Hence, constitutions, checks  balances, impeachment 
procedures, etc. are all there to avoid forking.  But with software, forks are 
not so costly, and not always a bad thing.  Numpy itself arose from merging 
Numeric and its fork, Numarray, and X.org and EGCS are examples of big forks of 
major projects which later became the mainline trunk.  In short, even if you 
*could* put governance in place to prevent a fork, that's not always a Good 
Thing.  Creative destruction is vital to the health of any organism or 
ecosystem, because that is how evolution frequently achieves its greatest 
results.

Of course, this is not to say that I have any desire to see Numpy forked.  What 
I *do* desire is a modular, extensible core of Numpy will allow the 
experimentation and creative destruction to occur, while minimizing the merge 
effort when people realize that someone cool has been developed.  Lowering the 
barrier to entry for hacking on the core array code is not merely for 
Continuum's benefit, but rather will benefit the ecosystem as a whole.

No matter how one feels about the potential conflicts of interest, I think we 
can all agree that the alternative of stagnation is far, far worse.  The only 
way to avoid stagnation is to give the hackers and rebels plenty of room to 
play, while ensuring a stable base platform for end users and downstream 
projects to avoid code churn.  Travis's and Mark's roadmap proposals for 
creating a modular core and an extensible C-level ABI are a key technical 
mechanism for achieving this.

Ultimately, procedures and guidelines are only a means to an end, not an ends 
unto themselves.  Curiously enough, I have not yet seen anyone articulate the 
desire for those *ends* themselves to be written down or manifest as a 
document.  Now, if the Numpy developers want to produce a vision document or 
values statement for the project, I think that would help as a reference 
point for any potential disagreements over the direction of the project as 
commercial stakeholders become involved.  But, of course, the request for such 
a document is itself an unfunded mandate, so it's perfectly possible we may get 
a one-liner like make Python scientific computing awesome.  :-)

[Numpy-discussion] Scipy 2011 Convore thread now open

2011-07-12 Thread Peter Wang
Hi folks,

I have gone ahead and created a Convore group for the SciPy 2011 conference:

https://convore.com/scipy-2011/

I have already created threads for each of the tutorial topics, and
once the conference is underway, we'll create threads for each talk,
so that audience can interact and post questions.  Everyone is welcome
to create topics of their own, in addition to the official
conference topics.

For those who are unfamiliar with Convore, it is a cross between a
mailing list and a very souped-up IRC.  It's usable for aynchronous
discussion, but great for realtime, topical chats.  Those of you who
were at PyCon this year probably saw what a wonderful tool Convore
proved to be for a tech conference.  People used it for everything
from BoF planning to dinner coordination to good-natured heckling of
lightning talk speakers.  I'm hoping that it will be used to similarly
good effect for the SciPy

[Numpy-discussion] How to include numpy headers in C across versions 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3

2009-05-11 Thread Peter Wang
Hey guys,

I've got a small C extension that uses isnan() and (in numpy 1.1) had  
been importing it from ufuncobject.h.  I see that it has now moved  
into npy_math.h in 1.3.

What is the best way to ensure that I can reliably include this  
function across versions 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3?  (Checking  
NPY_FEATURE_VERSION won't work, since it did not change from 1.2 to  
1.3, although the location of the function definition did.)

My best idea right now is to simply do a numpy version check in my  
setup.py, and hard-code some macros at the top of my C extension to  
#include the appropriate headers for each version.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

We will need to do some more on the network today, Sunday May 4, from  
1pm to 3pm Central time.  (This is 2pm-4pm Eastern, 6pm-8pm UTC.)   
This affects the main Enthought and Scipy.org servers, including SVN,  
Trac, the mailing lists, and the web site.  As usual, we don't  
anticipate the services being down for the entire time, but there may  
be intermittent connectivity issues during that time.  Please try to  
avoid editing any Trac wikis during this time, since you may lose your  
changes.

We will try to complete the work as quickly as possible, and we will  
send a status update when the scheduled work as been completed.   
Please check http://dr0.enthought.com/status for status updates.

On behalf of the IT crew, thanks again for your patience and bearing  
with us.  We recognize that these outages are inconvenient but they  
are a critical part of the transition to a new infrastructure that  
better supports the growing needs of the Scipy open-source community.

Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns!


-Peter

[Numpy-discussion] [IT] Maintenance and scheduled downtime this evening and weekend

2008-05-02 Thread Peter Wang
Hi everyone,

This evening and this weekend, we will be doing a major overhaul of  
Enthought's internal network infrastructure.  We will be cleaning up a  
large amount of legacy structure and transitioning to a more  
maintainable, better documented configuration.

We have planned the work so that externally-facing servers will  
experience a minimum of downtime.  In the event of unforeseen  
difficulties that cause outages to extend beyond the times given  
below, we will update the network status page, located at 
http://dr0.enthought.com/status/ 
.  This page will remain available and be unaffected by any network  
outages.

Downtimes:
Friday May 2, 2008, 8pm - 10pm Central time
 (= 9pm - 11pm Eastern time)
 (= 1am - 3am UTC Sat. May 3)

Saturday May 2, 2008, 10am - 11am Central time
 (= 11am - 12 noon Eastern time)
 (= 3pm - 4pm UTC)

To reach us during the downtime, please use the contact information  
provided on the network status page.  Please let me know if you have  
any questions or concerns.

We will send out another email once the outage is complete.  Thanks  
for your patience!


-Peter

 Will this effect SVN and Trac access?
 Thanks!

Yes, this affects svn, trac, web, mailing lists,...everything, because  
we will be working on the underlying network infrastructure.
