How to use modular components of scimax (like new ipython)?

[ghost]

I just discovered scimax and I'm pretty excited about it. I'm looking to get started with some of the features, like the fancy new ob-ipython.

Since I already have a fair amount of emacs/org configuration of my own, I'd like to incorporate scimax a bit at a time, rather than enabling the whole thing all at once, so I have a better sense of what changes I'm making and so I have finer-grained control of which packages are controlling what.

I see the docs say

The new update is in two files: ./scimax-ob.el, which contains pretty general functions for all org babel src blocks I think, and ./scimax-org-babel-ipython-upstream.el which contains monkey-patches on ob-ipython, and additional features.

Is there a recommended way to use only the new ob-ipython, while keeping the other components disabled?

I already have the MELPA version of ob-ipython installed. Should I then clone this repo and (require 'scimax-ob) and (require scimax-org-babel-ipython-upstream) to get the added scimax ipython features? What of scimax-ob, scimax-notebook and scimax-org-babel-ipython?

Thanks for your help!

You can do any of the following:

1. use load-file to load specific files in scimax
2. add scimax to your load-path and require what you want.

You will have to read the source files to see what is required, and then debug what is missing. You probably need scimax-ob and scimax-org-babel-ipython-upstream. You do not need scimax-notebook or scimax-org-babel-ipython (which is the old branch).

These seem to be the minimum needed to get things working for me on a (very) simplified spacemacs install:

(require 'ox-ipynb)
(require 'ob-ipython)
(require 'scimax-org-babel-ipython-upstream)

My .spacemacs loads a file that adds a few things like Easy Template definitions, keymap tweaks, etc., and the nuke-ipython function (found in scimax-org-babel-ipython.el).

Edit: I should mention this assumes

1. Full install of scimax from github, including running scimax.sh at least once so other required packages are downloaded.
2. load-paths are added per @jkitchin 's comment above

This works, thanks. I'll leave it open in case you want to reference it for the docs or anything.

Thanks.
