Translate to python #9

Open florianboergel opened 3 years ago

florianboergel commented 3 years ago

I am still impressed with the content of this lecture series. I offer to translate everything (climate related) to python. I get that this course is mainly to push Julia, therefore the translation could be perceived as counterproductive.

But I guess my main point is, that language should not be a barrier to this amazing content.

Thanks for your interest! What do you think is the best way of organizing this? Should we make a simplEarth organization and have simplEarth.py and simplEarth.jl?

E.g. one reason to separate them is that it makes the environment set-up faster, which is especially important for binder.

I agree that a python port would benefit everyone, but remember that there is no python equivalent of Pluto.jl yet, so you need to find alternatives for the interactivity

florianboergel commented 3 years ago

I agree. It's a good idea to separate both versions. I propose that I start by creating simplEarth.py

@fonsp to your point: Have a look at https://florianboergel.github.io/personal_blog/jupyter/2020/11/12/nonlinear-dynamics.html

Interactivity of ipywidgets is limited. However I would be OK with the way it is handled here. Try the binder version.

The simplEarth.py could be hosted similar to this blog version on the MIT class github page?

Quick update: I finished with the two-dimensional advection-diffusion of heat. The last lecture is exciting but I am not so much looking forward to translating it to python ;). The speed difference between python and julia is just mindblowing.
