[IPython-dev] IPython (Notebook) 0.13.2 on Ubuntu Touch OS

[Roberto Colistete Jr.]

     Ubuntu Touch OS is Ubuntu for smartphones & tablets. Version 13.10 
will be stable, currently it is very simplified and lacks many functions.

     But Ubuntu Touch 13.04 already has Python 2.7.4 and all the Python 
modules of regular Ubuntu 13.04. But only softwares with GUI written in 
Qt5/QML/HTML5 work, so those written using Gtk, Qt4, wxWidgets, etc, 
can't work.

     Here is my first contact with Ubuntu Touch on a device (Nexus 4), 
described in this portuguese blog article 
<http://robertocolistete.wordpress.com/2013/05/26/ubuntu-touch-no-nexus-4-instalando-e-testando/>

     Here are some screen photos (while I don't know how to screenshot 
via software) :

IPython Notebook 0.13.2 showing the new plotting module (using PyLab) of 
SymPy 0.7.2, embedded in the Notebook.

IPython 0.13.2 runs the Notebook interface. In server and client mode. 
In client mode there are some issues due to current development of the 
web navigator of Ubuntu Touch. IPython Notebook client works with 
DashBoard, opens IPython Notebooks, renders MathJax and PyLab embedded 
plots, make calculations, etc. But IPython Notebook doesn't allow to 
create "New Notebook", large Notebooks which are not totally shown (the 
scrolling is limited) and some bottons don't work very well.

I hope to see IPython Notebook more "touch-friendly" so it will work 
better in mobile Linux OS : MeeGo Harmattan 1.2 (see below), Nemo / 
Sailfish OS and Ubuntu Touch.

Here my post about a smartphone Nokia N9 as IPython Notebook server :
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1320465&postcount=19
My tests included :
- 4 web clients at once, 2 notebooks, 1 Android tablet and 1 Nokia N900 
smartphone, see :
http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p=1320501&postcount=6
- many types of mobile web browsers on Android, Maemo 4&5 and Symbian, 
besides PC's.

So AFAIK, currently we can run IPython Notebook server on :
- PC's with Linux, Mac OS, Windows;
- mini-PC's running Linux (costing from US$30-40);
- smartphone Nokia N9 with MeeGo Harmattan OS;
- Android tablet Aakash, it costs US$35 :

- Linux chroot on tablets/smartphones with Maemo/MeeGo, rooted Android 
devices, etc.

I have also tested my Nokia N9 running IPython Notebook server and web 
clients on many devices : PC's, Android tablets, Maemo 5/Nokia N900 
smartphone, etc. It works very well. As Nokia N9 has WiFi hotspot, we 
can have a full IPython 0.13.1 in your pocket, accessible to any 
computer/tablet/smartphone without IPython but with good web browser 
(with websockets and MathJax support).
