I've switched to Enthought's Canopy 1.0.0 but I miss the standalone QT shell and the QT notebook. I don't want to use the built-in shell which comes in the IDE. Where can I find the QT shell?
Are you asking about the IPython QtConsole? It and the Ipython notebook (NB this is not a QT notebook; it runs in a browser) are both accessible from the terminal / command prompt:
ipython qtconsole
ipython notebook
But you must have Canopy User Python on your PATH, as described here.
FWIW, the Python shell in Canopy is QtConsole, integrated with the editor and file browser.

I recently began using julia, and I would like to use in with IPython Notebook/Jupyter.
So, I installed julia using MacPorts, i.e. sudo port install julia. Following the installation instructions here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/IJulia.jl
After the prompt, I used "Pkg.add("IJulia") to install IJulia.
However, I cannot use Julia with IPython notebook. After opening the notebook with
ipython notebook --profile=julia
the kernel for the julia notebook dies instantly and cannot be restarted.
The error on the Terminal shows:
[I 19:03:19.410 NotebookApp] KernelRestarter: restarting kernel (1/5)
WARNING:root:kernel dc00ae3a-8fa6-4d01-a802-f7845a16a9ba restarted

while loading /Users/NAME/.julia/v0.3/IJulia/src/kernel.jl, in expression starting on line 6
I suspect I have installed IJulia incorrectly? How can I solve this?
(The version of julia is julia version 0.3.11. The version of python is Python 2.7.10. The version of ipython is 4.0.0.)
The current stable version of Julia is v0.4.0.
You should download it directly from the Julia homepage (.dmg):
http://julialang.org/downloads/
Having done that, run it and do Pkg.add("IJulia") again.
Then from within Julia do
using IJulia
notebook()
Note that the Jupyter Notebook (the new name for what used to be the IPython Notebook) is run as
jupyter notebook
The --profile julia is no longer necessary and should be removed.
Furthermore, this (jupyter notebook) will only work if you had a previous installation of Jupyter, which seems to be the case. In this case, I suggest you upgrade it with conda, if you installed Anaconda, or with pip.)
I am having a really hard time adding python 2.7 as a kernel to my iphyton notebook. I have anaconda installed with a python environment called "python2." I can navigate to the environment folder and launch ipython (using python 2.7) in the script folder.
I have tried ipython kernelspec install-self using iphython.exe, however, it seems like ipython is not even a command in that window.
I tried it again in anaconda command window and it just install python3. Please help with precise steps.
Ok I got it. I had to:
Change my python.exe under envs to python2.exe. I also change pythonw to pythonw2.
Added Anacoda\envs\python2 folder that includes python2.exe and scripts to path variable
Then ran this command in Anaconda command window: python2 -m IPython kernelspec install-self
Then ipython kernelspec list to verify
I'm having trouble getting an ipython console in Spyder. It only offers a python interpreter under the "interpreters" menu.
I've seen this issue for a couple of others in Stackoverflow, but didn't have much joy with the proffered solutions.
I'm running linux Mint 16 and have installed both ipython (v 1.1.0) and Spyder (v 2.2.1) the easy way via the Mint Software Manager. I made sure that I also installed ipython-qtconsole and verified that I could run it from a terminal (i.e. ipython qtconsole).
I can activate an ipython console using the following commands in a Spyder python console:
import IPython
IPython.start_ipython()
though the font coloring is strange and doesn't work well on a white background (e.g. error messages in yellow and light green). It would be nice anyway to be able to start ipython the normal way from the Spyder menu.
You may want to install python-zmq for Python 2 and python3-zmq for Python 3.
I use Ubuntu 14.04, so:
sudo apt-get install python-zmq python3-zmq
I'm also using Linux Mint (18.1, at this time) and I have faced the same issue.
What solved this for me was installing Ipython3 Qt console (that, of course, should be Ipython Qt console if you're using Python 2.x).
In case you have it installed, check if you have the latest version
(In Linux Mint you can do this through Synaptic, aptitude or apt-get.)
I am using Enthought/Canopy (version 1.1.0.1371) and would like to use nbconvert to convert ipython notebooks to other formats. nbconvert has now been incorporated into ipython and is not available outside of ipython. However, it is apparently not available within the Canopy distribution. Any suggestions?
I believe it is available in the current version of canopy.
You can always install canopy package the old fashioned way with setup.py, just make sure you call Canopy's python. That way, you don't have to always wait for the package manager to incorporate changes to repos.
If canopy's python is your system python, merely python setup.py install should work. If you have multiple python paths, find Canopy's python; on my Ubuntu system it's:
~/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/python
So I would just do:
~/Enthought/Canopy_64bit/User/bin/python setup.py install
1) Use the Canopy Package manager to update IPython to version 1.0
2) Open a Canopy User Python shell / terminal / command prompt. If you did not make Canopy your default Python, be sure to see this article: https://support.enthought.com/entries/23646538-Make-Canopy-User-Python-be-your-default-Python
3) ipython nbconvert ....

I have been using EPD for some time and recently started using Canopy. So now I have both EPD and Canopy installed on my machine, which runs Windows 7 Pro x64. But I just realized I cannot launch Canopy's IPython interactive session (located in the directory C:\Users\User\AppData\Local\Enthought\Canopy\User\Scripts) in a Windows command prompt. I already added this directory to my Path before the EPD's python directory.
I checked out those files in the directory .../Canopy/User/Scripts/, I believe that problem is not with the file "ipython-script.py" there, but with the file "ipython.exe", which is what will be run when I simply type "ipython" in a Windows command shell (I set the path already).
In a Windows command shell, if I changed to the directory .../Canopy/User/Scripts/ and type up "python ipython-script.py", then I can correctly start the IPython session in the command shell. So, it looks like that "ipython.exe" does not run the script "ipython-script.py"...
Has anyone run into this same problem? Is there an easy fix?
P.S. I already had the latest Canopy (version 1.0.1.1160) installed.
Thanks for any help.
If you want to launch web interactive then the command
ipython notebook in windows shell or in canopy shell works.
