So I was super excited when IPython started rolling widgets into itself - I thought I would be using them a lot. But turns out that I just ended up using one pattern (slider + matplotlib to cycle through dataset visualizations). What I've found is that googling for IPython widget documentation or tutorials is just... really difficult. There's stuff from a lot of eras, and it's often quite tricky to figure out exactly what the I'm pretty certain its just my poor google-fu in this case, but does anyone have a particularly good/authoritative 2.x (or 3.x if those even exist yet) tutorial or guide to follow?

Jonathan Frederic just updated the example notebooks for widgets before the release: http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/tree/master/examples/Interactive%20Widgets/ http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/tree/mast.... We've also listed a few examples of cool widgets at https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/widgets https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/widgets (though some of these may not have been updated to run on IPython 3.x). You're welcome to ask questions on the IPython mailing list or the gitter chat: https://gitter.im/ipython/ipython/help https://gitter.im/ipython/ipython/help.

My experience was the same as yours, with both ipython widgets and ipython presentation mode. At least at the time (a year ago), I asked and there was no solid docs for either. (edit: I still love ipython. just wish the docs were better. I should help, but I haven't.)
