Hi all,

Just want to share some of the experiences I had at the EuroScipy 2013
conference in Brussels. I think it was a great conference with some very
nice tutorials, presentations and posters. It was also nice to be able to
talk to other open source developers from NumPy, SciPy, IPython and other
scientific packages. From time to time I brought up Spyder, and it seems
that most people know very well that it exists, which is nice :-)  I think
there could definitely be room for a Spyder tutorial in the beginners track
on future editions. However, most developers seemed to use VIM.

Based on the very few discussion I had on the topic (sample size = very
small ), I also realized not everybody is aware of the current up to date
feature set of Spyder. And a nice (?) idea also popped up (credits to Valentin
Haenel): some people use VIM in combination with coverage.py (
http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=4292,
http://nedbatchelder.com/code/coverage) to mark the functions/classes in
the editor that are not covered by tests. I think this would be cool to
integrate into Spyder, so I've opened an issue for it here:
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=1543. I would say it is
related to issue
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=219regarding a
plugin for Unittest, nose.

The IPython notebook is a huge hit, almost everybody was using it. I think
editing them within Spyder directly would be a killer feature. Do I
understand it correctly that there are plans/idea's for doing something
like that?

One other thing I would consider as a nice thing to have is a visual
representation of the profiling results. Some tools already exist for this:
* runsnakerun (http://www.vrplumber.com/programming/runsnakerun/)
* gprof2dot (http://code.google.com/p/jrfonseca/wiki/Gprof2Dot)
* KCachegrind (http://kcachegrind.sourceforge.net/html/Home.html) According
to this (http://blog.ionelmc.ro/2013/06/08/python-profiling-tools/) there
are even windows binaries available
* more??
And for that I opened issue 1544 (
http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=1544)

Greetz,
David
