stata-kernel

A Stata kernel for IPython/Jupyter

Setup

This kernel currently only works in Windows.

You need a recent version of Stata, and if you have not already used Stata automation, register its type library by following these instructions.

You also need IPython 3.

Installing

You can install with

pip install git+https://github.com/jrfiedler/stata-kernel
python -m stata_kernel.install

Using

After installing, simply open an IPython notebook server

ipython notebook

and choose a new "Stata" notebook.

Graphs

Use %%graph to insert the last graph created by Stata into the notebook. The graph is saved as a png file in a temporary directory, shown in the output.

Example

sysuse auto, clear

Then in a separate cell:

%%graph   
histogram price
scatter price mpg
