Hi Nick,

I know you didn't mean to be harsh, I was just kidding :-) For now I can only say that yes, we've been in contact with Continuum guys about possible funding. I'll publish a message on the list when I have something more solid to say :-)


Cheers,
Carlos

Carlos,

I didn't mean to have a harsh tone toward Continuum (or Enthought -- I'm a happy user). I agree with you, and I think that they both do really great work in making scientific python available to the masses at a very affordable price. Just out of curiosity, have you contacted Continuum about possible funding? Since they integrate Spyder into Anaconda, I wonder if there is any possibility that they would give the project a donation or something for this sort of stuff. Or maybe they already do...

Cheers,
Nick

    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

        If i rework on adaptable ipython schema , it will be too
        late for now i guess. Sorry man , i was very busy with my
        project and deadline is end of this month. If anyone want to
        take over my current work of adaptable ipython schema let me
        know.

            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>

            And don't forget to follow Spyder updates/news on the
            project website (http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/
