Add support for IPython/Jupyter notebook files #288

Open rainman28 opened 8 years ago

rainman28 commented 8 years ago

Dear developers,

I thought it would be awesome if you could add support for .ipynb files. I am not an expert, but I thought that it shouldn't be a problem, given that Rodeo uses IPython in the background anyway.

In that way Rodeo could become a single app to program in Python for many users, and they would simply be able to choose between a classical layout (best for data analysis) or notebook (best for demonstrations and simulations), depending on the particular need. Perhaps notebooks could be edited in separate windows (i.e. w/o console, environment, and plots), so that they do not interfere with the "main" Rodeo layout.

Thank you very much, Artur

This is VERY important for me, since most of my development for data sci happens with python notebooks. Also, there are a couple of online courses that also use jupyter.

Not sure if the following needs to be said, but JupyterLab, in alpha right now, has this capability. They don't have the ability to send code to a console like Rodeo does, but they have prioritized developing that. So, if Rodeo wants to keep up with the Joneses..... :-)
