BUILD an APPLICATION on Mac OSX using Bokeh and Python

Community Support

HI All,

I find Bokeh very interesting.

We are a start-up and we are looking to build an Application using Bokeh and running with Python.

Can we do that ? I am not thinking as running the Terminal but to build a real professional application.

html files are not enough for something pro on Mac OSX.

What tools do you recommend us with Bokeh and Python ?

Starting for free in the beginning and upgrading later.

Thank You for ALL of your replies.

My email is also contact@artadys.com

Hi Christian,

Bokeh is a library for building interactive data visualizations and "data apps" that targets modern browsers for presentation. To the extent that many rich client GUI libraries have embeddable HTML widgets that could render Bokeh output inside your app, Bokeh might be suitable for your purpose. There has been some discussion from other people about creating new backends for Bokeh that render directly to things beside the current browser/JavaScript based backend, but to my knowledge this work has not started by anyone, and would be a long way off. If embedding an HTML widget in your app is not an option, I will have to suggest that Bokeh is probably not a good fit for your use-case.

Thanks,

Bryan

Hi Bryan,

Thanks for your very interesting answer.

We wish to work with Bokeh so we need more informations to test integration with “To the extent that many rich client GUI libraries have embeddable HTML widgets that could render Bokeh output inside your app, Bokeh might be suitable for your purpose” We need to know who are the rich client GUI libraries with embeddable HTML widgets" on Mac OSX.

We are a start-up and this answer is primordial for us.

Thanks Bryan

Hi Christian,

Off the top of my head, some common large cross-platform GUI toolkits are: GTK, QT, WX Widgets. The native OSX GUI toolkit is called Cocoa. I am afraid I can't give you any more detailed information, since I am not a rich client app developer (perhaps others here on the mailing list can chime in). Rich client applications are simply not the market and use-case that we are prioritizing right now.

Thanks Bryan for your prompt answer. I will test the GUI applications and come back here to integrate Bokeh inside, because I need Bokeh functions to display.

I still need to understand how to move data in the bokeh server and how to modify them dynamically.

I need also to understand where is the bokeh code ? How to modify Bokeh code ?

Thanks

Thank you Travis,

I have to test and see how to integrate Bokeh inside and how to keep writing in Python the GUI application.

I will be back after that.

Hi Bryan,

Hi Travis,

Thank you for the proposals.

Sorry if I come again. I think I have to open a new topic to broaden the audience.

At this stage we need to sell to clients and show a GUI application integrating Bokeh.

I tested the GUI application you proposed. Thanks. The challenge we need to integrate Bokeh, NLTK, pandas, we need GUI applications which support machine learning and algorithm related to bokeh

And one more thing…we need a free GUI application at this stage.

Thanks Bryan and Travis
