[AstroPy] Python powered GUI for secondary school education image processing and possible porting to Tablets and Smart Phones

[Eric Jeschke]

A quick follow-up to Matt's reply.

I agree with him that Ipython/Jupyter notebooks are really compelling
vehicles for teaching and documenting the use of python libraries, both for
students and practitioners.  Ginga has only nascent web-capabilities so
far, but you can get a little taste of what it has by checking out this
example notebook <http://nbviewer.ipython.org/gist/ejeschke/6067409>.

Ginga supports not only qt4/qt5/pyside, but also gtk2, tk, matplotlib and
now HTML backends.  We are considering adding one for bokeh.
