[GRASS-dev] IPython Notebook & GRASS

Hi Massimo,

This looks pretty cool. But I don’t understand what you mean about integrating it with the GUI. Can you explain?

BTW, I just learned from your weblink that you’re at RPI. My son is in the cognitive science doctoral program at RPI. We were just visiting him a month ago.

Hi All,

in the last month i’m working a lot using IPython Notebook and some GFOSS tools (mostly GRASS)
and example of what a notebook can do is showed here :

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/url/epi.whoi.edu/esr/GIS_GRASS-R_Example.ipynb

essentially i found it a really easy and effective way to use grass from a web page, but it runs pretty well also from localhost of course.

i’d love to write a grass gui plug-in to integrate the IPython Notebook inside the WX-gui in GRASS
maybe a simple wx frame that embed an http link to where the notebook is running + an init script to lunch the notebook
before to start to coding something ( i’m pretty new to WX and its “grass internals” )
i was wondering if there is any interest on doing this from the GRASS gui guru … :slight_smile: that can help me to get started

thanks for any comment.

–Massimo.
