Installing IDE for berryconda like spyder about berryconda

IDLE is a minimal "IDE" that is included with Python itself. It can be run using idle3 in a Python 3.x environment of idle in Python 2.7. IDLE is bare-bones and you might be looking for something more full featured. A number of people use Jupyter notebooks for creating and running Python code. Jupyter is available in berryconda after installing the notebook package.

Jupyter Lab is a full featured browser based development environment. Packages do not yet exist for berryconda but I'll look into adding them.

Spyder has a large number of dependency which make it difficult to build for the Raspberry Pi.

Ah ok, that makes sense. One more question then: I'm trying to install wxpython to use a GUI for spectrometer use, but installing through berryconda doesn't work (it can't find wxpython). Is this just a limitation of berryconda, or am I doing this wrong?

[jjhelmus]

berryconda does not provide a wxpython package.

jupyterlab is now available for berryconda. To create a new conda environment and run the application use:

conda create -n jl python=3.6 jupyterlab
source activate jl
jupyter lab

Then point your browser at the URL. If you want to access the Jupyter Lab instance from other machines use jupyter lab --ip XX.XX.XX.XX replacing XX.XX.XX.XX with the IP address of the Raspberry Pi.
