[IPython-dev] Replacing PopUp?

[Brian Granger]

Adam,

We apologize for all of the instability. We consider the IPython widgets to
be research grade code for now and there will continue to be API and
architecture changes for a few releases to come. For 3.0 we have added a
warning upon import that clarifies this aspect of widgets.

Moving forward, there will eventually be something that provides popup-like
capabilities for widgets, but it was causing a lots of problems and the
implementation had usability/UI problems for users. But, you should be able
to take the popup widget out of ipython 2.0 and get it working with 3.0
when it comes out as a third party widget.

Cheers,

Brian
