Introducing pdit

January 2024

We're excited to introduce pdit, an interactive Python editor that displays execution results inline.

Why pdit?

Jupyter notebooks are great for exploration, but they can feel heavy for quick scripts. Traditional REPLs are fast but don't preserve your work. pdit sits in between: you write regular Python files, but see results inline like a notebook.

Key Features

• Inline results - Output appears right next to the code that produced it
• DataFrames - Pandas DataFrames render as clean tables
• Plots - Matplotlib figures appear inline automatically
• File watching - Edit in your favorite editor and see updates in real-time
• Export - Share your work as standalone HTML files

Getting Started

Install with pip and run on any Python file:

pip install pdit
pdit script.py
