[IPython-dev] Notebook + WebGL = Molecule Drawer?

[Patrick Fuller]

Thanks, guys!

I wrapped my js example in some Python and made a repo:
https://github.com/patrickfuller/imolecule. I'll read through the examples
posted and see if I can clean up my approach. Going off of the browser
screenshot alone, I like the idea of generating a single static div to
display the output of js execution.
