BIG RFE: Pweave - Scientific Reports Using Python #84

Open dsanalytics opened 6 years ago

Re: Pweave - Scientific Reports Using Python

Pweave is a scientific report generator and a literate programming tool for Python.

This exists for Atom only and is not available in Jupyter Notebook/Lab. So, if you could implement this within this extension or in a separate new extension, that would make VS Code, IMHO, a premiere python environment for STEM. This would be BIG!

Hey there:)

First, thx a lot for your awesome extension! If you could add support for pweave so that we can create scientific reports straight in VS Code using Python + Markdown/Latex that would be totally awesome!

Do you know the RStudio RMarkdown notebook? (If not, here is a link)

Would it be feasible to port this to VS Code and/or Theia? Then we could have the power of VS Code combined with a proper notebook that you can put in version control. (if you could support Theia, then we could also run it in a Docker container and have the same environment in Dev->Prod and no more virutal environments etc necessary:)

I wanted to switch to Python a couple of times in the past, but nothing beats RStudio when it comes to data analytics imo. If you have used Rmarkdown notebooks, Jupyter just feels a huge step backward:(

I really like VS Code and perhaps it could become an RStudio for Python data scientists?

Thx anyway for your awesome work!
