[IPython-dev] Feasilibity of widgets/layout for mimicking this

[Brian Granger]

Oh a few more things:

* Plotting is supported
* nbviewer support for widgets is currently being worked on
* To hide the code, I would write the code in a spearate .py file, and
import a top level function and call it.
