ipython-widgets/matplotlib guis are not being printed inline, onto the screen inside an ein notebook? #775

Closed zeta-00 closed 3 years ago

zeta-00 commented 3 years ago

Hello there, I got ipython working great in ein, but I was wondering if there's a way to get it to print guis like ipython-widgets? I can't seem to get it to work, maybe i'm missing a front-end/dependeny? here's a similar issue: https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets/issues/2141 here's the example that i'm using: https://ipywidgets.readthedocs.io/en/stable/examples/Widget%20Basics.html If you could let me know if this is even possible, thanks! I hope that I can get the printing of guis working in ein notebooks, so that I can use python packages like matplotlib and numpy!

Here's my reddit post that is a much more descriptive:

thanks in advance for the help!

Even if EIN knew anything about js widgets, emacs itself wouldn't be able to render them. This enterprising youth, while nowhere near the point for serious consideration by the emacs maintainers, seems furthest along the path of having emacs become Web-2.0-aware. I hope that effort never comes to fruition, not purely out of schadenfreude, but out of a personal desire for emacs not to become a web browser like, well, every popular text editor out there today.

This current issue as well as our previous interactions #708 strongly suggest you'd be happier using jupyter in a browser as the jupyter designers intended.
