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 On 9 July 2013 18:59, Carlos Córdoba <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi David, > > I'm sorry but I think none of us (the core devs) is going to be at > EuroSciPy, but we'd be glad if you can make a bit of promotion for Spyder > there :-) > > Cheers, > Carlos > > El 08/07/13 03:42, David Verelst escribió: > > Hi all, > > I will be attending the EuroScipy <https://www.euroscipy.org/>conference in > Brussels (tutorials on 21-22 August, talks 23-24 August, > Sprints 25 August).
