Hi Nick,

Thanks for your kind words. All the work we are putting in Spyder (well, I can't speak for everyone, but I feel that's the case :-) is motivated to make Scientifc Python *really* accessible for everyone (grads, undergrads, hobbyists, etc). Scientific Python is still a bit like Linux was before Ubuntu and we are trying to change that for good!

Don't be so harsh on Continuum :-) They've been really nice with us and they're also doing a heck of a job with Anaconda and Conda. It's made super easy to install and use Scientific Python on the desktop, something that was sorely needed!

I'm planning to open a donations channel in a couple of months so that people can help us with these kind of things.


Cheers,
Carlos

Carlos & the Spyder team,

Thanks for the excellent work, and I look forward to the final release!

Carlos, it is upsetting to me that you do not have funding to attend the Scipy conference. The work you are doing is extremely important in my opinion. I switched from MATLAB to Python for doing scientific computing a few months ago and Spyder made that transition /much /easier. Heck, doesn't Anaconda use Spyder as it's featured code editor? I feel like they ought to be happy to give you the money to attend the conference considering the software you are creating has the potential to bring them a lot of users. /I'd/ give you the money if I had it (grad student's don't make much) and I'd /definitely /give you the money if I ran a company that relied on scientists/engineers using Python to get business. Even Enthought's code editor has nowhere near the feature set of Spyder at present, and it doesn't seem to have been appreciably updated in a while.

It makes me said, but hopefully you will be able to attend next year.

Nick

    @Sylvain: Sorry, no financial aid for me this year, so no SciPy :(
    I'm a bit sad because it's such a nice conference and I had a
    pretty good talk to give!

    @Phyo: Yes, it's too late for 2.3 but you can work on it for 2.3.1
    (our first bugfix release) to be released at the end of July or
    first week of August. Just submit a PR as soon as you can so we
    can start to discuss it with a good amount of time.

    @Yuxiang: Great, I'm glad you like it!


    Cheers,
    Carlos

        Hi all,

        On the behalf of Spyder's development team, I'm pleased to
        announce the first and only release candidate of our upcoming
        2.3 version.

        We've been working on this version for over a year now and as
        far as we know is very stable. There are still some minor
        bugs to squash but we encourage all people who like the
        bleeding edge to give it a try.

        The most important improvement of this release is that it
        supports Python 3.2/3.3/3.4 besides (of course) Python
        2.6/2.7. This version also comes with highlighting of cells
        in the Editor, i.e. portions of a file separated by comments
        of the form "# %%" (like Matlab cells), a new shortcut to
        quickly move to the IPython console (Ctrl+Shift+I) and
        several important bugfixes.

        This release comes almost a month and a half after beta4 and
        we feel we are quite close to the final one. To download it
        please go to our Bitbucket Downloads page:

        https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/downloads
        <https://bitbucket.org/spyder-ide/spyderlib/downloads>

        website (http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/
