Hi IPython!
i was tring to learn how to code a cell in order to have interaction between python <-> Javascript (jquery?)
i can try to explain with an example …
let's say i have a dictionary in python :
>>>mydict = {'key1':'val1', 'key2':'val2'}
and a function that take as input the dict and print out the value :
>>>def printval(mydict, keyN):
print maydict['keyN']
what i'm tring to learn is :
how to render inside an "IPython notebook cell" a js gui tool like a "dropdown menu" that will contain the "mydict keys"
and button that will connect the selected value in the dropdown menu to the printval function ?
i guess it should be trivial for who knows the how the internal engine works, i was really attracted by the new "js plugin system" (i saw it in NYC at the PyData … cool!)
for me an example like this can be a perfect starting point to start to develop something useful ….
thamk you for you great support!
Massimo.
