[IPython-dev] How to get the notebook name/path in the kernel?

Hi everyone,

I am writing my own kernel (a thin wrapper around
IPython.kernel.zmq.ipkernel.Kernel), which is started through the
standard KernelApp and KernelManager by reconfiguring
KernelManager.kernel_cmd.

During initialization, my kernel needs to know the name and path of
the notebook that it is attached to.  I don't see an obvious way to
get this information. It looks like the KernelManager is the class
that has the information, but I can't communicate with it from
the kernel.

Any help would be appreciated!

Konrad
