Notes from 2017

[takluyver]

• We ran out of material for part 2 (notebook tools) before the end of the session. We cut the nbconvert templating stuff out of this after last year, and added nbviewer, ndime and nbval. Possibly we can cover a bit more detail or another tool, or come up with some more interesting exercises.

• A few changes to the widgets broke some of the exercises for part 3:

  • Matplotlib plots in interact don't automatically work any more - you need to display the figure and close it inside the function.
  • Widget styling has been removed (or heavily changed), which was involved in a couple of exercises.
  • The Popup widget, used in one exercise, is gone.
