Subject: [Ironpython-users] IronPython in IPython notebook/console

If you haven't used IPython in a while, you might be surprised to find that it 
can use a web browser as an IDE. They have separated out the frontends of their 
interfaces (console, qtconsole, and notebook) from their backend (called a 
kernel). We've written a kernel that allows our Calico system to use any of our 
languages (including IronPython) through their frontends.

(This doesn't use the IPython Python codebase... we have written our own 
interface in C#, which might be generally useful for IronPython.)

You can get a feel for how this works is by checking out some of our notebooks:

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/bitbucket.org/ipre/calico/raw/master/notebooks/SiteMap.ipynb

We don't have the nice pipeline provided by numpy and matplotlib, but we are 
developing our own set of tools; see for example:

http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/bitbucket.org/ipre/calico/raw/master/notebooks/Python/Travelling%20Salesperson.ipynb

and easily getting camera images:

We have full support for IPython 2.0 (just released) including the new widgets. 
You can find out more information, and install directions here:

If anyone has suggestions or ideas, please let us know!
