Hi all, The IPython devs have been sketching out the protocol for their javascript widgets. They've also been setting a good timetable for when external devs can start working on it. Since this is -- in my opinion -- one of the most promising directions for Reason and other yt GUIs/explorers, it's definitely interesting to see it take shape. (Frankly, I think it's the most promising direction for *all* scientific python data exploration, but maybe that's just me ...) The message spec Matthias links to does a pretty interesting job of laying out how Python would communicate with the GUI and how it would look to the slightly-higher-level infrastructure developer. Definitely something to keep an eye on, and also seems like porting existing Reason code (which is very similar in feel, although not as well thought-out or implemented) would be possible. -Matt ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Matthias BUSSONNIER <bussonniermatthias@gmail.com> Date: Tue, Jul 30, 2013 at 10:36 AM Subject: Re: [IPython-dev] interactive widgets To: IPython developers list <ipython-dev@scipy.org> Hi Jason. You can have allow here https://hackpad.com/IPython-Interactive-JavaScript-Widget-Design-jRD6dHFt5I8 We have only define the rough edges of what we will do. - create widget step (from kernel to javascript IIRC) - bidirectionnal update_state js<-> kernel - possibly a destroy widget message Data in json form. No binary websocket for now. -- Matthias Le 30 juil. 2013 à 18:11, Jason Grout a écrit :

Could someone summarize some of the discussion that happened last week on interactive widgets (like manipulate/interact controls, etc.)? I'm working more on extending Sage's implementation this week, and I'm curious what happened last week in the IPython camp.

Thanks,
