Looks great!

Just confirmed matplotlib/pylab plotting working with Anaconda Python distribution. (To get LightTable to not use the system python, I had to go through some hoops... creating an environment.plist didn't seem to work.)

The dot-completion seems like it still needs work, but it's pretty neat to have an alternative web-based REPL front-end to the IPython kernel than just IPython Notebook.




Can you elaborate on the "hoops"? I am trying to get a similar thing working.


Well, it's not that much of a hoop. If you start LightTable from the command line, via "open /Applications/LightTable.app", then it gets your environment parameters, including PATH, which is the important one.

I tried to create a ~/.MacOSX/environment.plist file per the instructions here[1], but that didn't seem to work and I haven't bothered to fiddle with it more.

Thanks for the tip. Got it working now.
