tryint to get spyder plugins to works (maybe too early ?)

[stonebig]

Description

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. install spyder plugins into spyder 3.2.0dev on winpython-3.5.3
2. start spyder
3. spyder shows an error at start

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
hoped to see the notebook and terminal extensions
maybe did I miss a commit ?

Please provide any additional information below

plugin.initialize_plugin_in_mainwindow_layout()
self.on_first_registration()
self.main.tabify_plugins(self.main.extconsole, self)
self.tabifyDockWidget(first.dockwidget, second.dockwidget)

ok, so:

• the terminal extension has problems,
• unselecting it and selecting the noteebook extension:
  • the notebook extension works,
  • it just fails at first opening of the day because of slow start of jupyter
• now, the notebook extension works as advertised https://youtu.be/Hf07PmwQwPQ?list=PLYx7XA2nY5GfdAFycPLBdUDOUtdQIVoMf&t=329

awesome !

@stonebig What problems do you have with the terminal?

[stonebig]

spyder complains at start, so I remove the toolbar.
If I re-add it now, I see this unworkable terminal window:

[stonebig]

the `\' of windows have disappeared, maybe a UTF-8 / DOS code page issue ? ... will try to launch it from powershell

[andfoy]

Do you have the winpty binaries on your path? Did you install pywinpty?

[andfoy]

Is this the latest commit from spyder-terminal repo?

[stonebig]

ah, I may have missed that two ones... will check

[andfoy]

@stonebig by judging the screenshot, it seems that you installed spyder-terminal v0.1.1 which is uncompatible with Windows. Our great milestone was to bring it compatible on v0.2, so it would be great if you can give it a test :-)

[stonebig]

can't recompile winpty from source ?

winpty/cywinpty.c(445): fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: 'winpty.h': No such file or directory

indeed wheel is spyder_terminal-0.1.2

[andfoy]

Do you have winpty's binaries on your path @stonebig?

[stonebig]

maybe not, and I don't have "bower" to compile spyder-terminal.... I see I'm badly equipped to digg on this issue... will wait official wheels

[andfoy]

@stonebig, thanks for your effort. Our official v0.2 release will occur after the official release of spyder v3.2, however, any comment is welcome!

[stonebig]

it would be nice if the "winpty" terminal feature was reproduced also per jupyterlab team

[andfoy]

@stonebig, @ccordoba12 told me that the people at JupyterLab might be interested on this terminal server, however, we don't know yet if they are going to use it

[stonebig]

I would prefer to have spyder-notebooks and spyder-reports well polished and stable today. Terminal may have a lot of incompatible iterations to go to awesomness; jupyterlab and xonsh cross-sharing, powershell, ...

[ccordoba12]

@stonebig, thanks a lot for trying our new plugins and for thinking to include them already in WinPython!

I would prefer to have spyder-notebooks and spyder-reports well polished and stable today.

I'd say they are pretty stable already, but we will know for sure when people start to use them. I really like the output of spyder-reports, it's beautiful!

Terminal may have a lot of incompatible iterations to go to awesomness

Spyder-terminal will be awesome on Windows! That has been the great work of @andfoy for its 0.2 version.

[andfoy]

@stonebig Spyder-terminal is now available on Windows via PyPi, would you mind if you can give it a test run?

pip install -U spyder-terminal

[stonebig]

will retry spyder-terminal today. I don't understand evolution state of spyder-unittest, so I may leave it aside
