Using q.show in Jupyter Notebook about pyq

[sashkab]

You don't really need to use q.show() in your Notebook.

In order to use PyQ in a Jupyter notebook, you need to install pyq-kernel. See https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pyq-kernel.

Installation instructions are:

pip install pyq-kernel
pyq -m pyq.kernel install

Then you will need to either create new notebook with PyQ X kernel (where X is 2 for Python 2, or 3 for Python 3).

In addition, you can enable show in q sells by redirecting q stdout to the notebook:

I am reopening this issue to clarify that the reported behavior affects q('show') and q.show(), but not the .show() method of K objects:

I do recall thinking about making q.show the same as K.show, but I don't remember the reasons for the decision to keep q.show equivalent to q('show') rather than treating it as a special case.
