<br>
Before going further I would like to take your advice on the subject.<br>
<br>
Is that something wanted in IPython?<br>
<br>
We can imagine having cells and widgets in docks.<br>
<br>
The prototype is hackish and just a proof of concept.<br>
<br>
You can find it github on the branch dockspawn of:<br>
<a href="http://github.com/ctaf42/ipython" target="_blank">github.com/ctaf42/ipython</a> and <a href="http://github.com/ctaf42/ipython-components" target="_blank">github.com/ctaf42/ipython-components</a><br>
<br>
just checkout, run IPython and open a notebook like this one:<br>
