Description:
Reinteract is a system for interactive experimentation with Python.
Reinteract worksheets contain Python code combined with the results of
that code, formatted as text or graphical plots. Unlike a traditional
shell, you can go back and edit previously entered statements, and the
results will update. Among other things, Reinteract is suitable for
experimentation with the Python language and for data analysis
using the NumPy and SciPy libraries.

Comment 1 Colin Walters 2008-10-25 15:31:33 UTC
rpmlint is clean (modulo unused Group: bit), spec file is consistent.  Looks good to me.

Comment 5 Michel Lind 2009-03-01 00:00:03 UTC
I just signed up for ACL access in pkgdb -- Owen, if you'd like, I can start the build for Rawhide, F-10 and F-9.

Some notes:
- the reinteract modules refer to numpy, python-matplotlib and sox, but these are
  not declared as runtime dependencies
- hicolor-icon-theme should also be a dependency for directory ownership (/usr/share/icons/hicolor)

How much work would it take to make this work on RHEL 5? (Python 2.4, gtk2 2.10). My university's CS department deploys RHEL 5 on the Linux desktops, and I'm planning to propose using Reinteract for the programming classes that already use Python. It'd be a bit bizarre if we could install them on the Macs and Windows machines but not on Linux.

Thanks,

Comment 6 Owen Taylor 2009-03-01 21:05:44 UTC
I've gone ahead and given you the ACLs as comaintainer. I'll do the initial builds though and fix up the missing deps. (Not completely sure about the sox dep - I think I might put a patch in the spec file and require alsa-utils instead. Or instead of patching make the reinteract upstream search the path for aplay/play.)

Comment 7 Owen Taylor 2009-03-01 21:09:13 UTC
Oh, yeah, should note here the discussion we had on the google group about RHEL 5

http://groups.google.com/group/reinteract/browse_thread/thread/e9a9903e2f94214d

Basic conclusion: old Python and GTK+ means that significant work would have to be done upstream to keep compatibility with EL-5, and it's probably not worth it.

Comment 8 Michel Lind 2009-03-02 23:21:56 UTC
I looked into the matter some more, and it looks like I could just update the existing 0install script for Reinteract, and make sure it pulls Python 2.5 *and* GTK+ -- it'd be annoyingly big, but doable.
