IPython 6.0 support

[pl31]

I just found, that IPython 6 is not supported, yet.

In a first step I tried to update the tox-Tests, but my travis build fails even for py{27,34}-ipython4, as it seems to install IPython6.

I ran into this same problem, anybody have any ides if this is on the roadmap or if someone needs to take the time to add this feature?

@rbhatia5 the environment in which I deploy pgcontents is still in python 2, which IPython 6 doesn't support, so I don't have much incentive to work on this. I'd accept a reasonable patch that fixed any incompatibilities with IPython 6 (I wouldn't expect there to be many if any) and updated the test matrix.

It looks like the right support is now on master, which checks the notebook version rather than the ipython version. Just need a release at this point.

I need this feature as well. Any idea when this might be released ?

ok guys. with respect to quantopian, i want to help a bit - seems it will take time before it hit pip.... 1. for installation get it from github directly pip install git+https://github.com/quantopian/pgcontents.git

then change in api_utils.py row 22

from
DUMMY_CREATED_DATE = datetime.fromtimestamp(0)

to
DUMMY_CREATED_DATE = datetime.now()

and it works - tested with python 3.6.5

Hey all. I'm looking into cutting a 0.6 release now.

For those who are only using HybridContentManager and want support for all IPython versions, see our hybridcontents fork

Despite my previous comment, I never actually got around to cutting a 0.6 release...I just did so. Apologies for the delay!
