Jupyter kernel for Logtalk

[pmoura]

A development version of a Jupyter kernel for Logtalk is now available at:

https://github.com/LogtalkDotOrg/logtalk-jupyter-kernel

This kernel currently supports using ECLiPSe, GNU Prolog, LVM, SICStus Prolog, SWI-Prolog, Trealla Prolog, or YAP as the backend compiler. Support for some more backends is expected soon.

Example notebooks are included in the repo and can be previewed using nbviewer:

https://nbviewer.org/github/LogtalkDotOrg/logtalk-jupyter-kernel/blob/master/notebooks/LogtalkTutorial.ipynb

The kernel can also be used to write plain Prolog notebooks.

Feedback and suggestions are welcome.

The Logtalk Jupyter kernel can now be installed from PyPI:

https://pypi.org/project/logtalk-jupyter-kernel/0.2.0/

If you install and try it, let me know if you run into any issue. Thanks.

Working on using https://mybinder.org/ to publish demo Logtalk Jupyter notebooks and allow users to create their own notebooks:

https://mybinder.org/v2/gh/LogtalkDotOrg/notebooks/master

Notebooks running on the default Prolog backend (SWI-Prolog) for now. Planning to add a few other backends soon.

GNU Prolog and Trealla Prolog now also supported as backends.

Adding ECLiPSe and YAP support require either using a Docker file (which Binder advises against) or waiting for Binder to update the base Ubuntu image to a more recent version.
