Hi Alex,

Have you tried using knitr for python? Attached is a simple example
and the output created. For more info, see
http://yihui.name/knitr/demo/engines/ . graphics and everything else
should also work, although you might need to add custom hooks (not as
hard as it sounds).

This might not be ideal because you have to have R installed (knitr is
still itself written in R). But I would be curious in your thoughts.

James, I haven't tried this but it looks awesomely awesome. Would you mind 
making a note on the LyX wiki about it? And maybe an indication, if not already 
present, how to install without brew, e.g., put in /some/path for those who 
don't know this.

And maybe you can help my confusion. PDF is listed as source-file only but the 
note about -n pageno sort of indicates that pageno can be applied to rendered 
PDFs. I'm probably misreading something.

Yes, that's more or less what I was suggesting.

No, that's exactly what I had in mind: Python code inthe document that 
gets executed at compile timeto create graphsor tables---or delete all 
your files. ;-) Formats are a LyX-internal method for keeping track of 
such thingsas what stage of compilation a document is at. The file 
format wouldn't really be different.

This should be the folder "~/Library/Application Support/LyX-2.0" -
to open it in Finder do this:
1. Go to your users Home Folder
2. Use "Gehe zu" and choose "Gehe zum Ordner…"
3. Type the word Library and choose "Öffnen"
4. Now your able to navigate to the other folders

I've tracked down the flow of control now and it possibly calls "gs" here too, 
like that:

I've prepared the run_command utility to print some message and started the 
converter in a terminal:
python -tt 
"/Users/stephan/git/lyx-build/LyX-2.0.7.1.app/Contents/Resources/scripts/lyxpreview2bitmap.py"

Then I made the gs call explicitely:

(cd

I'm not sure how to interpret this. Either I have a different gs or I have X11 
somehow available.
(I know I'm having it in /opt/X11, but I've locked it for regular users before. 
I cannot open a
xterm on my system anymore, but the conversion succeeded.)

Can you clear out the cache/ subdirectory of your user directory and try

Oh, if we're going consider requests for difficult additions to handle a
small subset of needs like beautiful graphics, how about filling the
GAPING HOLE that there's no practical way to export to ePub, without
massive human intervention and end-user programming? None of LyX's HTML
and xHtml exports are remotely suitable for flowing-text eBook
production, especially because different people have different ideas of
how eBooks should be built.


I don´t think this is a "dificult addition" since there is already a module 
that does something similar for what I've asked, knitr module does this but 
accepting R commands instead of python ones, so maybe the knitr author can 
put some light to this discussion. Again there should be no need to touch 
the code, just build a module similar to knitr that can be named "knitpy"


This is my original motivation

GAPING HOLE that there's no practical way to export to ePub, without
massive human intervention and end-user programming? None of LyX's HTML
and xHtml exports are remotely suitable for flowing-text eBook
production, especially because different people have different ideas of
how eBooks should be built.

Personally, I think the easiest way forward on this is to take the
current half XML half something else native format, and make it well
formed XML. No doing favors of renaming graphics files with arbitrary
numbers, no doing favors of making obvious hierarchy into , just
make the native format XML and let anyone with Python and lxml.etree
have his way with the native LyX file.

I know that two years ago I railed against XML native format, but
parsers have gotten better, and right now we have the human
unreadability of XML, combined with the unparsability of a more TeX
like language. Well formed XML can only be an improvement.

If well formed XML native format is not practical in the near future,
perhaps somebody could make a program that exports the current native
format into well-formed XML, once again without renumbering, throwing
away structure, etc. Basically, just pass the environments through: No
need to map Part to , once it's XML, we can trivially do that
ourselves, the way we want to. Given that most eBooks don't do a lot of
bibliography stuff, you could even have an initial version that has
hooks for the bibliography stuff but doesn't actually do it. Put in the
bibliographies next time. If it's not perfect with math, that's fine: I
can't think of anything more frustrating than trying to read a math
book on a small device.

Because of LyX's inability to author flowing text eBooks in any
reasonable way, I haven't used LyX in 9 months: I'm authoring with
Bluefish now. Slow, difficult, crashy, but at least my source document
can produce both print, PDF and ePub.

Maybe it's just me, but if there's one feature LyX should really have
in 2014, I think that one feature is a reasonable export mechanism to
something that can be turned into ePub, without undoing all the BS the
current LyX (x)Html converters throw into the export.

Mark my words: Within two years, beautiful graphics won't matter one
bit if the document can't be read on a small device.

[Feature Request] python binding

[Alex Vergara Gil]

Hello Lyxers

I wonder why LyX is not available to process little pieces of python code 
within its own framework, like ipython notebook for instance??
This feature allows us to have beautiful graphics such the one produced by 
matplotlib package. I know there already exists a similar binding for R through 
knitr module, so why not a binding for python too??

Is there a way, like modules or whatever, to achieve the same functionality or 
at least some basic functionality of ipython notebook within LyX??

If you're going to use huge ERT, then it would likely be better to have

Yes, the release is in preparation, but we have run into several issues 
involving these conversions

since the release of 2.1.0. We think we are close

If you need this now, you can grab the entire lyx2lyx/ subdirectory from

Re: Spell check within ERT

[Benedict Holland]

So I so love how I specifically that tables are a problem and get people
wondering why I can't use lyx for tables. Imagine you have to get a table
of attributes all with starting with a letter and a period with a width of
.26in but no cellpadding on that particular column because it is left
justified and the extra .01in leaves just enough space for an m to look
good. This letter should appear as a block like

a. some text
some text

AND then there should also be another column with even more text. How about
if some rows contain multi column or multi row environments? How about if I
am importing from R and need to use long tables instead? That is a simple
copy and paste, chance tabular to longtable and continue on my way. Tables
are inherently difficult. Latex knows this which is why it says in many
many documents that tables are difficult. Lyx even admits that tables are
difficult but provides a UI to get some functionality. Regularly I hit that
wall and find it much easier to just use latex markup even with sometime
like using spaces between rows as oppose to lines (which is much better
design). I tried it once a long time ago. I couldn't make it do what I
wanted. Perhaps it is time to a revisit when things are not so hectic. I
use three part tables with booktabs because I need professional looking
tables to present scientific results. These tables need to be spell checked
because there is sometimes a lot of text embedded in them.


I am less worried about having too much spelling highlighted than too many.
I see two ways easily to get around the problem. The first is to have a set
of reserved or defined words. Other editors have figured out how to write
up latex code while having the display not underline every command. It is
also possible that they prescan for all defined words and don't highlight
them. I actually have not worked with document processors befores so I
don't know how language specific commands or other defined/reserved words
are not automatically recognized. A lot of other text editors do it though
so I can't imagine that to be difficult.

The second, and slightly more hacky way, would be to just add every
reserved word to my personal dictionary. It cannot be any more hacky then
writing the ERT, copying that into a new document, fixing spelling, and
copying it back. That is actually the exact situation I want to avoid. I
suppose a third option would be to use a non-ui like device to create
tables and then import the latex into lyx. I would prefer to not have to do
that though but it sounds like redefining ERT is sort of hacky.

Thank you for all the fine ideas. I will try to think about how to better
approach the problem. I suppose the huge feature request would be to make
ERT into an expansive latex or tex editor with defined functions like in an
editor such as MikTex. I don't have time right now to tackle the problem
but that seems like the not so hacky way to deal with it.

Thanks again,
~Ben

Will there be a version 2.0.x that can import 2.1.0 files?

[David A Case]

In the past, there have been "final" releases of a series that are able to
read files created by the "next" LyX format.  Are there plans (and a
estimated time) for a "2.0.8" release that can read 2.1 files?
