cl-jupyter-widgets

Add jupyter widgets to cl-jupyter

Important : this is beta-quality software, expect (and please report) some bugs...

Requirements

To try cl-jupyter-widgets you need :

a Common lisp implementation, for now
- either SBCL 1.2.x or above (with native threads enabled)
- Clasp
Quicklisp (cf. http://www.quicklisp.org)
cl-jupyter
Python 3.x (cf. http://www.python.org)
Jupyter (a.k.a. IPython 4.x) or IPython 3.x (cf. http://www.jupyter.org)

Everything below this needs to be updated

Quick install

Please run the installation script :

python3 ./install-cl-jupyter.py

By default, cl-jupyter assumes SBCL as the default lisp implementation. Using CCL instead requires the following command line:

python3 ./install-cl-jupyter.py  --lisp=ccl

Note: cl-jupyter seems to work better with CCL on MacOS but on Linux everything's fine with SBCL and it is the most tested configuration. Alas, it seems cl-jupyter does not work on Windows (I cannot try myself). If using a VM I would recommend the Linux/SBCL configuration.

As an optional step, you can pre-install the quicklisp dependencies to avoid a veeeerrrry long first startup.

using SBCL
```
sbcl --load ./cl-jupyter.lisp
```
using CCL
```
ccl --load ./cl-jupyter.lisp
```

Running cl-jupyter

The console mode is a simple REPL that is useful to check that cl-jupyter is working.

Console mode

for Jupyter
```
 jupyter console --kernel=lisp
```
for IPython 3.x
```
 ipython3 console --kernel=lisp
```

Notebooks

The real interest of cl-jupyter is its use conjointly with the Jupyter notebook frontend. For a try, type:

for Jupyter
```
jupyter notebook
```
for IPython 3.x
```
ipython3 notebook
```

The file about-cl-jupyter.ipynb is an example of a Lisp-based notebook.

The file about-cl-jupyter.pdf is a printable PDF version of this notebook that can be generated by the Jupyter nbconvert tool.

... have fun !
