I found the ability to run Rodeo directly in the browser really useful, but the RStudio folks appear to have found a way of running RStudio via a browser using their RStudio server, so I’m hoping there’ll also be an open source version of Rodeo server available too? Whilst the first version of Rodeo was a flask app viewable via a browser, and installable via pip, the latest version is an electron app, like RStudio.

Charts can be generated using matplotlib and are displayed in the chart view area bottom right.Īs with RStudio, you can write reproducible research documents that blend markdown and code and render the result as HTML or PDF.Īs you might expect, charts can be embedded as outputs in the document too. The preferences panel lets you set the initial working directory as well as the path the required python executable.Ĭode selected in the file editor can be run in the console. The layout resembles the RStudio layout – file editor top left, interactive console bottom left, variable inspector and history top right, charts, directory view and plugins bottom right. It’s been out for some time, but a recently updated release of Rodeo gives an increasingly workable RStudio-like environment for Python users. So have you been looking for something like RStudio, but for Python?
