Jupyter Configuration

[lmerritt47]

Is there anyway to configure this plugin so that it can run in a jupyter notebook?

Hi @lmerritt47! Thanks for opening this discussion.

I'm not very familiar with jupyter notebook and I didn't spend any time trying to port pyp5js to it yet. Although I highly recommend people to do so =)

Recently, @ranoya, a professor from Brazil was able to port it over ObservableHQ, so I think that maybe you run it in a jupyter notebook.

@lmerritt47 just a quick heads-up that you might be interested in this project: https://github.com/jtpio/p5-notebook

Which is based on the in-browser version of JupyterLab called JupyterLite: https://github.com/jupyterlite/jupyterlite/

JupyterLite has support for p5.js kernels running in the browser (in JavaScript), but also a Python kernel backed by Pyodide. It would be great to find a way to use pyp5js with the Python kernel and reuse the existing architecture (tracked in jtpio/p5-notebook#52 and linked issues)

I made a very basic package called jupy5 that uses Skulpt for this task. It works OK in JupyterLab and on CoCalc -- the biggest limitation at the moment is that you have to open the browser console to view error messages 🤦🏽‍♂️

Thanks for sharing this @nickmcintyre! Yesterday I've met with Tamir and he showed me this cool experiment as well!

The issue about the errors messages in the console is indeed a problem. We have this issue #130 to document this requirement of improving error/exception log messages.
