[IPython-dev] requirements for porting ipython to a new gui

[Matthias BUSSONNIER]

Hi,


We are in a busy week where we all meet to prepare the next version of IPython.
If we don't respond rapidly don't hesitate to re-ping us.

You can also directly ask on hip chat (cf link on IPython.org) or open a github issue.

IIRC we don't support None, sys.stdin should be a file like (that eventually raise on some unsupported operations?)
We had the discussion somewhere at some point (on github ?)  but I don't find it. 

Have you had a look at 
http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/interactive/reference.html#embedding

and embeding kernel only  to have frontend potentially on a separate process ?

(It would be great that blender could embed IPython !)
