display tools module: jupyter or IPython?

[mail4r...@googlemail.com]

Will the display module (http://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/api/generated/IPython.display.htm) be supported in future releases?

I was surprised it's not a part of the jupyter notebook but instead an IPython module. Is it possible to use the display module in jupyter notebook with kernels other than IPython?

metakernel makes available the display functionality, but it is up to the individual kernel implementations to take advantage of it. We also have display library code that can be used from IPython or metakernel-based kernels:

https://github.com/Calysto/metakernel/blob/master/metakernel/display.py#L10

Thus, metakernel-based kernels that can use Python libraries directly (like Calysto Scheme) don't need to do anything, but have the user import and us these libraries.

 

The ipyparallel code is similar: it is written for IPython, but it is fairly easy to take advantage of, and metakernel-based kernels can also be run be in parallel via metakernel "magics".
