[IPython-dev] Embedding IPython Notebook in Flask web app

[Yang Zhang]

Right, I wasn't anticipating anything *not* involving spinning up separate
servers, but I was wondering if there was anything in the way of doing
that/managing them, and (more importantly) whether I can pre-load the
session with the right environment (is the best bet to produce and
somehow load a notebook file?).
