Hi Michael, Sorry for the delay.. I'm running into problems because currently I'm without my notebook.. :-(
Well.. Matt is correct in this points (thanks Matt!).. Although NuPIC Studio use good third software like PyQt and PyQtGraph, sometimes they are tricky to install (not always, but happens with some users). :-( Hopefully we will have new versions of such dependencies and so these issues are solved soon. As Matt said, NuPIC Studio is not for "to create applications, but for experimenting with network setups".. The real intention is experiment things, but a big advantage is that you can copy to clipboard the code generated for your network setup in order to you re-use the code in your application! This decrease a lot of work/learning curve for you. Answering your question about NuPIC include NuPIC Studio, I have another idea: How about the reverse, i.e. include NuPIC library in NuPIC Studio dependencies? So when you install NuPIC Studio, automatically it install NuPIC (via pip)! I did not this before because NuPIC was needing some improvements related to setup.py, but maybe this is possible now.. Let me know your thoughts, they seem interesting... On 12 March 2015 at 19:09, Matthew Taylor <[email protected]> wrote: > A few reasons, from my perspective. > > 1.
