[IPython-dev] announcing Maxima-Fishbowl, an IPython kernel for Maxima

[Robert Dodier]

Hi, just wanted to let you know, I've succeeded in creating a kernel
for the Maxima computer algebra system
(http://maxima.sourceforge.net), based on the Fishbowl project of
Frederic Peschanski. Many thanks to Frederic. The Github project for
Maxima-Fishbowl is: https://github.com/robert-dodier/maxima-fishbowl

There are rough spots and unimplemented stuff -- perhaps the most
important is that user interactions for the sign of some term (e.g.
cases for < 0 or > 0) are not handled. But basic functionality seems
to be working reliably as expected -- the IPython notebook is really a
pretty nice UI for Maxima, e.g.:
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/robert-dodier/maxima-fishbowl/blob/master/MaximaFishbowlExample.ipynb

Maybe you could add Maxima-Fishbowl to the list of IPython kernels for
other languages? Just a thought -- if not, it's really no problem.

Thanks a lot for your help, & best wishes.
