vnlog VS vim-ipython-cell

For simple analyses (i.e. what most people do most of the time) doing this on the commandline gets you there faster. I use vnlog (https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog/). By the time you fired up your editor to write your Python code, I already have analyses and plots ready.

Alternative very appropriate for some uses cases: `vnl-join` from the vnlog toolkit (https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog). Uses the `join` tool from coreutils (works well, has been around forever), and `vnlog` for nice column labelling

There's also https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog/ which is a wrapper around the existing coreutils, so all the options work, and there's nothing to learn

And to improve the ergonomics, the vnlog wrappers are available to operate on field names, while retaining the internals of the core tools:

I sorta, kinda agree. Tools written in AWK (and friends) are indeed somewhat unmaintainable, but they're really close to being just right for a LOT of applications. The vnlog toolkit (https://github.com/dkogan/vnlog) adds just a little bit of syntactic sugar to the usual commandline tools to make processing scripts robust and easy to read and write. This was not my intent initially, but I now do most of my data processing with the shell and vnl-wrapped awk (and sort and join, ...) It's really nice. If you write stuff in awk, you should check it out. (Disclaimer: I'm the author)

hanschen/vim-ipython-cell: Seamlessly run Python code in IPython from Vim with tmux

With stuff like https://github.com/dccsillag/magma-nvim or https://github.com/hanschen/vim-ipython-cell, I rarely never use a Jupyter notebook anymore.

I like to use Vim and Tmux on Linux, however, for Python I often end up using the Spyder IDE as it has the convenient functionality of putting all the plots in one window and allowing me to scroll through it when I have multiple graphs for a script. I am aware of nice solutions like https://github.com/hanschen/vim-ipython-cell and https://gontcharov.be/blog/vim-tmux-python that allow one to use VIM and TMUX. This seems like an excellent solution, but I am missing the figure component. Anybody has a good suggestion for that?

I personally have vim (or neovim) and IPython open in two panes in tmux and then use my plugin vim-ipython-cell to run the code. It supports running code cells similar to what you have in Jupyter notebooks, so you can for example have one cell that reads the data and another cell to make the plot, and then just re-run the plotting part.

If you'd like a Jupyter Notebooks-like experience, where you execute one cell at a time and such, try these together: - https://github.com/hanschen/vim-ipython-cell - https://github.com/jpalardy/vim-slime - tmux or you could try using vim's builtin terminal, though it's a bit... unideal - ipython of course. It's way better for interactivity than python3

If you use vim, you can also try https://github.com/hanschen/vim-ipython-cell . It works quite well
