numpy again
-
@omz awesome news, can't wait for the next version. I know you're still working on it, but any idea when it might be released?
Once you get Matplotlib working properly, it'd be great if you could eventually add support for inline plotting, a la IPython. Actually a full IPython front-end would be awesome too.
I'm not the biggest fan of IAPs, but I think it's a better idea to charge $0.99 for extra packages that not everyone will use, instead of raising the entire cost of Pythonista. I think being cheaper than comparable apps is a good thing in some regards.
-
@omz: Yes, I understand. Thank you for responding my query. sad '_'
-
Just found a great simple app: http://tydligapp.com
With numpy and matplotlib, I think some pythonistas will write a program similar to that by using Pythonista. (pun intended) :D
-
I'm new to the forum, I just bought Pythonista right after omz's posted those beautiful images of matplotlib. I just wanted to thank you omz! Waiting anxiously for the next update!
-
Loving the application. Is there a timeline for next release
-
@Avisual I'm still working on it (numpy/matplotlib won't be the only new thing), and I'm not sure yet when I'll be done.
-
I see your a solo developer. Can I offer any support.
-
Fun possibility?
matplotlib + (lightning to serial adapter) + pyserial + equipment = real time data streaming/plotting?
This is that cable: http://redpark.com/lightning-console-cable-l2-rj45v/ , I have used it with get-console for data acquisition. Cool stuff!
-
I'm absolutely delighted to see that numpy + matplotlib are coming! Thank you so much for developing this! This is the last ingredient I need to be able to do science development on the road with my iPad.
-
When Will numpy+matplotlib be included?
This would make life so much easier.
-
This would be a perfect time to include SymPy by default, since it has built in support for plotting with matplotlib. (Note: it also can plot to text, which is quite funny).
It's quite small and easy to download, but it's irritating to have to delete it every time I want to backup to Dropbox.
-
So sympy works with pythonista? Great! How did you install it? And why do you have to delete it to do a DropBox backup?
-
@sidewinder, you can use https://gist.github.com/henryiii/9011826 , but it extracts into sympy/, so the Dropbox script picks it up when run.
-
Great! Henryiii - it shouldn't be too hard to edit the Dropbox script to tell it to ignore the sympy folder. Have a look at my alteration to it to ignore the inbox folder on downloading (since attempting to write to the Inbox causes an error).
-
This would be absolutely awesome, as for IAPs, I'm absolutely repulsed by them. A single 10$ fee would be much better. But I think it should also be noted that there are also free python 2.7 interpreters for iOS that run locally but are inferior in quality(I'm thinking about pythoni2.7 by XiaoWen Huang, which includes tons of useless crap unrelated to python such as deeply philosophical works in chinese, a flashlight, a password manager, a web browser, a voice recorder, a calculator, and a tutorial for python).
-
Python math actually has had numpy as an in app purchase for months. But the app is no where near pythonista in terms of usability and quality. The custom libraries and user interface really make a difference. So really looking forward to this upgrade!
-
When will numpy and matplotlib come to your app?
-
I am very excited to see NumPy and matplotlib coming along. I hope it comes soon!
Regarding pricing and in-app purchase, I have a suggestion: keep the price the same but offer the in-app purchase of a "warm glow". If you offered me the option to buy a "thumbs up" badge or a "like" for $5 I would totally buy a bunch of these when you roll out matplotlib. Apple's IAPs don't have to enable stuff; you can use them for stickers that show up when the program starts. I think many of your users would be happy to have the warm glow of knowing that they are supporting the development of an excellent product.
-
I just bought Pythonista this morning. It is very impressive. I work in scientific research so numpy and matplotlib would be right up my alley. At the moment I'm just playing with it on my iPhone, but you may end up selling me on getting an iPad if I can get some real work done on it.
-
So....when will numpy, sympy and matplotlib come?
