elyra VS ipyflow

The Elyra open source project for JupyterLab aims to simplify common data science tasks. Its most popular feature is the Visual Pipeline Editor, which is used to create pipelines without the need for coding. You can run these pipelines in JupyterLab or on Kubeflow Pipelines or Apache Airflow.

During the past year we have received many suggestions and feedback from users like you. We appreciate your input and encourage you to stay involved. Open GitHub issues, reach out on gitter, post in our new forum, or join our weekly community meeting.

You're probably referring to nbgather (https://github.com/microsoft/gather), which shipped with VSCode for a while.

nbgather used static slicing to get all the code necessary to reconstruct some cell. I actually worked with Andrew Head (original nbgather author) and Shreya Shankar to implement something similar in ipyflow (but with dynamic slicing and a not-as-nice interface): https://github.com/ipyflow/ipyflow?tab=readme-ov-file#state-...

I have no doubt something like this will make its way into marimo's roadmap at some point :)

Np.

From https://news.ycombinator.com/context?id=35887168 re: ipyflow I learned about ReactiveX for Python (RxPY) https://rxpy.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ .

https://github.com/ipyflow/ipyflow :

> IPyflow is a next-generation Python kernel for Jupyter and other notebook interfaces that tracks dataflow relationships between symbols and cells during a given interactive session, thereby making it easier to reason about notebook state.

FWIU e.g. panda3d does not have a react or rxpy-like API, but probably does have a component tree model?

Not necessarily indicative of foul play. I have two projects like this (https://github.com/smacke/ffsubsync and https://github.com/ipyflow/ipyflow) and I attribute it to not having great developer documentation.

It's not in the highlights, but one of the things that excites me most is this: https://docs.python.org/dev/whatsnew/3.12.html#pep-669-low-i...

> PEP 669 defines a new API for profilers, debuggers, and other tools to monitor events in CPython. It covers a wide range of events, including calls, returns, lines, exceptions, jumps, and more. This means that you only pay for what you use, providing support for near-zero overhead debuggers and coverage tools. See sys.monitoring for details.

Low-overhead instrumentation opens up a whole bunch of interesting interactive use cases (i.e. Jupyter etc.), and as the author of one library that relies heavily on instrumentation (https://github.com/ipyflow/ipyflow), I'm very keen to explore the possibilities here.
