=======================================================

 Simple interactive Python kernel/frontend with ZeroMQ

=======================================================

This is the code that served as the original prototype for today's IPython

client/server model.  It is kept here purely as a reference to illustrate how

to implement similar ideas for interactive Python interpreters on top of

zeromq.  This example used to be included with pyzmq but for some reason was

removed, so it's available here in standalone form.  It should be useful to

anyone wishing to either implement a similar system or understand IPython's

basic architecture without all of the details.

The message spec included here was the original, minimal spec we used for this

implementation, today's IPython messaging is based on these ideas but has

evolved substantially.

Usage

=====

Run in one terminal::

  ./kernel.py

and in another::

  ./frontend.py

In the latter, you can type python code, tab-complete, etc.  The kernel

terminal prints all messages for debugging.  Exit the frontend with Ctrl-D, and

the kernel with Ctrl-\ (note that Ctrl-C will *not* stop the kernel).

License

=======

This code is released under the terms of the BSD license, same as IPython

itself.  It was originally authored by Brian Granger and Fernando Perez, but no

further development is planned, as all the ideas illustrated here are now

implemented in IPython and developed there as production code.
