py-ipython v0.12 requires py-tornado for notebook functionality

[michelle.lynn.gill@…]

iPython version 0.12 adds the ability to run an ipython instance as a "notebook" in a web browser ​http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/rel-0.12/whatsnew/version0.12.html. This functionality requires py-tornado. Thus, py-tornado should be added as a dependency, either to the port itself or to a variant of the port.

I have verified with python 2.7 that installing py-tornado is the only change needed to allow the notebook function to work.

It looks like py-zmq is also required. ​http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/rel-0.12/install/install.html#dependencies-for-the-ipython-html-notebook I didn't notice because I already had it installed via the parallel variant.

$ port variants py27-ipython
py27-ipython has the variants:
   notebook: Support for IPython HTML notebook
     * requires parallel
   parallel: Support for parallel computing
   pyqt4: Support for the Qt console using pyqt4
     * conflicts with pyside
     * requires parallel
   pyside: Support for the Qt console using pyside
     * conflicts with pyqt4
     * requires parallel
[+]scientific: Use ScientificPython to provide physical quantities support

notebook variant depends on py-tornado and requires parallel. parallel variant requires py-zmq.

PS. notebook variant was added several months ago, but was commented out until 0.12 release.

Odd that it didn't show up for me as a variant when I checked earlier and I hadn't had a chance to look at the Portfile.

Seems to be working now, however. Maybe I accidentally looked at the variants for the python 2.6 version, which I haven't updated. Apologies.

I guess this ticket can be closed.
