ipython27 notebook installed

Dear Autonians,


Due to popular demand I have upgraded ipython27 on all computing nodes and
desktops to version 2.4 which supports notebook mode. I also installed
icewm light desktop environment on all computing nodes as well as Firefox
so that you can use the notebook. This is short how to.

In order to use ipython27 notebook you will have to log into a computing
node using x2go client and bash.autonlab.org as a proxy. Make sure that
you chose "custom desktop" as the option and execute the command icewm.
Once you log in GUI mode into one of computing nodes using x2go client you
will be presented with minimal icewm desktop environment. Open an xterm
and type

ipython27 notebook

The server will ask you if you are sure that you want to run ipyton27 in
the insecure notebook mode. Answer yes and Firefox will automatically
start and present you with the notebook on

127.0.0.1/notebook

If you wonder what is ipython27 notebook think of  Mathematica notebook.


Most Kind Regards,
Predrag


P.S. If you have troubles understanding this chaotic e-mail but you use
Python and want to use ipython shell in notebook mode please stop by my
office NSH 3119 and I will be happy to give you demo and walk you through.
