[IPython-dev] Execute python code from the notebook dashboard

[Clyde Fare]

Hi,

Thanks for the suggestions. I can see that I can start a new kernel by
posting to /api/kernels, but am a little lost at how to pass code to it
using javascript. Is there a simple way to use
services/kernels/js/kernel.js and hence kernel.execute? Or would I need to
explicitly code up connecting to the kernel's ports and passing it the
relevant messages as if I were writing a new kernel?

Cheers

Clyde
