# Lua IPython Kernel
This is a kernel to support Lua with [IPython](http://ipython.org). It is pure Lua and should work with both Lua and LuaJIT.
## Requirements
The following Lua libraries are required:
* [zeromq](http://zeromq.org/bindings:lua)
* [dkjson](http://dkolf.de/src/dkjson-lua.fsl/home)
* [uuid](https://github.com/Tieske/uuid)
Here's how to install via [LuaRocks](http://luarocks.org/):
```
# You need zeromq... on OSX I use Homebrew:
# brew install zeromq
# On Ubuntu:
# sudo apt-get install libzmq-dev
# The LuaRocks
sudo luarocks install https://raw.github.com/Neopallium/lua-zmq/master/rockspecs/lua-zmq-scm-1.rockspec
sudo luarocks install dkjson
sudo luarocks install uuid
```
Of course you also need to [install IPython](http://ipython.org/install.html)...
## Installation
The installation process is janky right now.
* Install the Requirements above
* Create a profile with IPython
```
ipython profile create lua
```
* Modify the profile's `ipython_config.py` to use lua_ipython_kernel. This will be at either
`~/.config/ipython/lua/ipython_config.py` or `~/.ipython/lua/ipython_config.py`:
```
# Configuration file for ipython.
c = get_config()
c.KernelManager.kernel_cmd = [
"luajit", # select your Lua interpreter here
"ipython_kernel.lua", # probably need full path
"{connection_file}"
]
# Disable authentication.
c.Session.key = b''
c.Session.keyfile = b''
```
* Invoke IPython with this Lua kernel:
```
ipython console --profile lua
# or
ipython notebook --profile lua
```
## TODO
* Get the execute side of things working
* Go through all the TODOs in the source file
* Make a luarock spec
* Make an installer
* HMAC
## Acknowledgements
Thanks to Andrew Gibiansky for his [IHaskell article](http://andrew.gibiansky.com/blog/ipython/ipython-kernels/) that inspired this.
Thanks to the makers of the dependencies of this library, who made this pretty easy to create: [Robert Jakabosky](https://github.com/Neopallium), [David Kolf](http://dkolf.de/src/dkjson-lua.fsl/home), and [Thijs Schreijer](https://github.com/Tieske).
And of course thanks to the [IPython folks ](http://ipython.org/citing.html).
