[ZEPPELIN-502] Python interpreter group ### What is this PR for? Adding a python 2 &3 interpreter. It's a basic implementation (no py4j for example), with a java ProcessBuilder object used to instantiate a python REPL. The interpreter doesn't bring it own python binary but uses the python specified by python.path configutation. Thus, you can still use your specific installed python modules (scikit-learn, matplotlib...) and the interpreter is able to work with python 2 & 3 without change. I had a python helper function (zeppelin_show() ) to easily display matplotlib graph as SVG. ### What type of PR is it? [Feature] ### Todos * [ ] - Code review * [ ] - Improve bootstrap.py : choose available helper functions and their names * [ ] - Unit / IT tests ? ### What is the Jira issue? [ZEPPELIN-502](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZEPPELIN-502?jql=project%20%3D%20ZEPPELIN%20AND%20text%20~%20%22python%22) ### How should this be tested? 1. In interpreter screen, in Python section, specify in python.path the python binary you want to use 2. In a paragraph, you can use the interpreter with **_%python_**. Calling help() will describe you the interpreter functionnalities. ### Screenshots     ### Questions: * Does the licenses files need update? No * Is there breaking changes for older versions? No * Does this needs documentation? Yes You can merge this pull request into a Git repository by running: $ git pull https://github.com/hriviere/incubator-zeppelin-python-interpreter PR_interpreter_python Alternatively you can review and apply these changes as the patch at: https://github.com/apache/incubator-zeppelin/pull/869.patch To close this pull request, make a commit to your master/trunk branch with (at least) the following in the commit message: This closes #869 ---- commit 489265a0ae2eff4a3618bad487f5b51143e0afd6 Author: Hervé RIVIERE <hrivi...@users.noreply.github.com> Date: 2016-04-13T21:23:12Z [ZEPPELIN-502] Python interpreter group ---- --- If your project is set up for it, you can reply to this email and have your reply appear on GitHub as well.
