Neovim PDE for Data Science (Part 2)

Configure a PDE for data science — Python, R, and Julia.

Neovim PDE for Data Science (Part 2)

We will continue our journey to configure a PDE for data science.

This article is part of the Neovim PDE series.

The Neovim configuration files are available in this repository.

Getting Started

We configured a development environment to edit Jupyter Notebook in the previous article. The environment can also be used to edit regular Python files. With this configuration, we can have a familiar experience using Jupyter, from within Neovim.

Context Menu using hydra.nvim

To have a better user experience, we will configure a context menu using hydra.nvim.

In the lua/base/editor.lua file, we configure the plugin.

  {
    "anuvyklack/hydra.nvim",
    event = { "VeryLazy" },
    opts = {
      specs = {},
    },
    config = function(_, opts)
      local hydra = require "hydra"
      for s, _ in pairs(opts.specs) do
        hydra(opts.specs[s]())
      end
    end,
  },
