How do I make a Jupyter Notebook Wrapper Kernel? Suggesting tutorials will also help.

I read the documentations, and some tutorials. But haven't been able to grasp them.

And the tutorials are mostly for IPython too.

Thank for your time.

You might want to have a look at metakernel:

https://github.com/Calysto/metakernel

It was created to have a common API for kernels. You can either make an API in Python, or run a program (using expect) and route information back and forth between it and the wrapper.

There are examples in that repository (metakernel_bash, _python, _echo) and others, like octave:

https://github.com/Calysto/octave_kernel

You can write an entire kernel in a native language, but that requires quite a bit of work. If you want to do that, what language are you targeting?
