Does it have any new features? I am a big fan of IPython Notebook/Jupyter, and use it daily, but from the release note I don't see what's that cool in v 4.0 (from the users perspective).
I.e. is there a reason to actually upgrade? (Against typical cons - notebooks are not backwards compatible.)
- baldfat 11y agoYes iPython is no longer the project but only the parts that actually deal with Python. So the kernel is now 100% agnosit. For users this means if your a polygot (I sort am one) you can now use Jupyter for Haskell or R or Julia. I think that if people will let the name iPython go we will see an explosion of usage by other communities and see new features added to the project.
- stared 11y agoI already run Julia and Haskell on IPython Notebook 3.0 - does the current 4.0 make it simpler to add kernels?
- baldfat 11y agoYes 4.0 is suppose to make it so that the kernels are much easier to install and work with. I haven't been home to install it on my Linux boxes nor the Linux boxes at work. Only thing I can try is Windows and well I HATE working with Python in windows.
