emacs-ipython-notebook VS AstroNvim

the github source : https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook

I used https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook at one employer and it works quite well for Jupyter. Of course Org is great but if your coworkers are unfamiliar it's probably a non-starter.

Looking at https://github.com/millejoh/emacs-ipython-notebook/issues this person seems to be using the github issues tracker as a combination of their personal tech support line + ranting board.

Maybe Emacs should have went down the road to have good Jupyter notebooks support instead, even EIN's maintainer was advising against using notebooks.

So that project was forked and this is the better location https://millejoh.github.io/emacs-ipython-notebook/

Except when it doesn't work. I tried using it a few months ago on both Windows and WSL, but I had to give up. Surprisingly, EIN¹ running a Maxima kernel worked.

I was going to try again before commenting, but I broke my WSL setup last week and didn't have time to fix it yet, but I sure will try it again next month.

EIN also looks good but I haven't used it.

From my perspective when I had to turn ML models from a "real scientist" to something I could use in production, emacs-ipython-notebooks[1] was immensely helpful for me, since it allowed to connect to the jupyter server and edit and copy things from emacs to other code places as if I'm looking at an org mode file.

I see the appeal of Jupyter notebooks for someone testing out things or experimenting, but it's a bit like a brain dump that isn't that trivial to navigate around when a second or third person is involved.

Hey all! I'm quite attracted by the Emacs IPython Notebook (ein) package and would love to incorporate it into my workflow. However last time I tried (about a year and a half ago) it was officially unsupported in spacemacs and my experiments led to constant headaches like undotree failing, notebooks not saving, native compilation crashing, and a reliance on elpy for IDE features (afaik the only elpy layer available can be found here, uses ESS bindings, and seems to be orphaned.)

You can definitely put all of your configuration into a single file for AstroNvim if you want.

In the docs it shows the minimal configuration to get AstroNvim running which is <10 lines in your ~/.config/init.lua file and then anything else you can just drop in that same file if you want. (https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim?tab=readme-ov-file#mi...)

Here is a user on GitHub that has a single file AstroNvim configuration: https://github.com/20k-ultra/dotfiles/blob/master/nvim/init....

Not sure of all of your use cases but this is my sorta my workflow when working mobile using termux and termux-x11. i use i3 WM, AstroNvim.

One of the demo pics in the GitHub README seemingly shows a file navigation panel. Since I haven't seen any config which reproduces this feature, do you any ideas as to how it was done? I'm only aware of two packages with similar functionality (nvim-navbuddy and dropbar) but they do not display breadcrumbs as a side panel.

If you don't have much clue, this might help you. https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim/blob/main/lua/plugins/telescope.lua

My current favorite is AstroNvim: https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim, with an awesome introduction video: https://youtu.be/GEHPiZ10gOk

You really want nvim. And if you don't already know, look at astronvim. It has all the IDE-like features, and whatever new plugins pop up for nvim, the community will try to include configs for them. The community packs of Astronvim are arguably its best features. https://github.com/AstroNvim/AstroNvim
