Golly and IPython

Post by LaundryPizza03 » August 13th, 2020, 1:59 am

IPython is a console for running Python commands. RLEs copied from IPython outputs don't translate correctly in Golly — you have to paste it somewhere else and then C&P into Golly. For example, if you run a series of IPython commands to print the following:

Code: Select all

# print('x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2a3n/S\n2o2$bo!')
x = 2, y = 3, rule = B2a3n/S
2o2$bo!
it comes out in Golly as

Code: Select all

x = 31, y = 2, rule = B3/S23
3bobobo2bobobo2b4obob7o$3o10b3o!

Code: Select all

x = 4, y = 3, rule = B3-q4z5y/S234k5j
2b2o$b2o$2o!

You need to use File->Open Clipboard (Ctrl+Shift+O) rather than Paste.

That didn't work.

My system is a macOS Catalina, if you are unable to reproduce it.

Cmd+Shift+O.
Each day is a hidden opportunity, a frozen waterfall that's waiting to be realised, and one that I'll probably be ignoring
