cannot import processing or turtle (possibly issue #3 redux)

[sawula]

• skulpt_python kernel seemed to install successfully through pip install --upgrade skulpt_python as revised at close of issue Installation problem - version requirement #3
• tried to work through basic examples in Jupyter notebook using Skulpt Python kernel. import turtle triggers the error ExternalError: TypeError: target is null on line 1 and import processing triggers the error message ImportError: Failed to load remote module 'processing' on line 1
• then went back and tried to install by cloning skulpt_python and running python setup.py install, but that didn't make any difference

Again, I'm on:
Windows 8.1 Enterprise
Notebook server 4.1.0
Python 2.7.11
Anaconda 2.5.0 (64-bit)
I believe I already have Metakernel, and Calysto installed via pip.

Thanks again!

I'll have to dig into why the notebook on jupyter.cs.brynmawr.edu works... must be some differences there. Thanks for reporting!

Hi, Doug.

I'm up at Jupyter days in Boston. Seems like a way around the differences
in dependencies/versions is for us to use Docker (www.docker.com). btw
Kitematic.com is GUI for Docker.

There's also www.mybinder.org, but I believe Docker is more appropriate
because I want students to make lots of versions of your working notebook.
I'm not totally clear on this.

Could that be a plan for now? I'm eager to use your Skulpt kernel. It
sounds like creating a Docker container isn't that hard.

Thanks,

ms

@p5k12 Cool... wish I were there!

Yes, docker (and mybinder) are very easy to set up. I'm tying to find the version I made that notebook with...

[sawula]

I wish you were here, too. I kept scanning the room today thinking you would be!

So, this seems to work for me:

from processing import *

def setup():
    size(400,400)
    noStroke()
    smooth()
    noLoop()

def draw():
    drawCircle(200,170,6)

def drawCircle(x, radius, level):
    tt = 128.0 * level / 4.0
    fill(tt)
    ellipse(x, 200, radius*2, radius*2)
    if level > 1:
        level = level - 1
        drawCircle(x - radius / 2, radius/2, level)
        drawCircle(x + radius / 2, radius/2, level)
run()

But I am getting an error importing turtle...

What is your result of this:

python3 -c "import skulpt_python; print(skulpt_python.__version__)"

[dsblank]

Oh, I see you are using Python2... maybe there is an issue there...

[dsblank]

Ah, yes... this is a Python2 issue. Looks like there may be code in the skulpt_python/kernel.py that is Python3 specific. Let me take a look...

[dsblank]

No, that wasn't it... I think it is not finding this file: http://localhost:8888/notebooks/processing/**init**.js

I think I need to rebuild skulpt with the processing __init__.js in it...
