how to load a spreadsheet? #1026

Open shriram opened 7 years ago

shriram commented 7 years ago

From these docs

https://www.pyret.org/docs/latest/tables.html

it's impossible to tell how to take an actual spreadsheet you're looking at and get it imported into Pyret. What is a ? Is it the URL? Part of the URL? Do I have to own it? Etc.

Great point. This should be added to the "Open" dialog that can be used for images.

And the docs also need to be improved (CCing Tom).​

Do we want a separate section for the gdrive-sheets module or just include it inline under tables? Given that it will probably be a while before there are alternative data sources, I'd lean toward doing it as part of tables.

I would indeed include it in tables for now. That way, "search in page" is also more likely to yield useful results.

This seems to be fixed in docs; Joe's suggestion of enhancing the Open dialog is still to be done.

Recommend renaming the issue to specifically talk about the Open dialog, or making a new issue specific to that. And I am all for @jpolitz 's suggestion.
