Python Alternative for R Markdown

Question

People who work with R are undoubtedly familiar with the R markdown package .

I am a vibrant python user and use Mistune to convert markdowns to html pages. It also supports code highlighting and mathjax for embedding latex formulas in html. However, one type of functionality is missing.

R markdown has the ability to execute embedded R-code (and render the result in html) or render charts. This saves time and makes documentation suitable for maintenance, since you do not need to manually prepare the output of this function or manually prepare and save the schedule, since it is displayed on the fly.

Is there such a feature or library in python, perhaps in combination with Mistune?

Answer 1

You really have to check ipython notebook (now called Jupyter , because it supports many languages, including R), it can be a little harder to install for those starting with Python, so I can also offer Anaconda Python Distribution , which includes it by default.

Allows you to execute code, enter formatted text, display graphics, and more.
