Yes, but before to use it, you'll need to load the extension somewhere.
Could be with ipython's %load_ext or setting up it in your config script to
be loaded automatically on the startup.

For example, see how octave magic (included in the package oct2py) works

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/blink1073/oct2py/blob/master/example/octavemagic_extension.ipynb?create=1

and here is the code
https://github.com/blink1073/oct2py/tree/master/oct2py/ipython

Also, how testable is this (e.g. via automated tests vs. having

There is some unittests

https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/master/IPython/extensions/tests/test_cythonmagic.py

Of course, they could/should be included in the moving. I could refactor
them to remove Nose as a requirement, but obviously IPython (probably few
versions) would be mandatory to run them.

let me know any other consideration/question.

cheers
Martin
