[Texmacs-dev] TeXmacs and jupyter

[Massimiliano Gubinelli]

Dear all, 

 I was looking at the jupyter protocol, in view of integrating it with TeXmacs. 
Instead of reimplementing everything (which seems quite complex) we could try 
to modify the jupyter console here

https://github.com/jupyter/jupyter_console

to make it output the TeXmacs plugin protocol instead that using standard 
output, in this way we can call it from TeXmacs and have jupyter kernels at our 
disposal. This will make available many other systems inside TeXmacs.

It should not be very difficult but I need some help since I’m not very 
familiar with python. In particular I do not undestand how we should do: surely 
we want to branch the jupyter console to have our own version adapted to 
TeXmacs protocol, but in order for it to run it would need to have some other 
packages available (like the one implementing the jupyter protocol, and some 
other, like for example pygments, to colorise code). How one can be sure that 
these are available on the client machine? Is there a standard way  to require 
packages? Can one assume they are always installed? I have a very poor 
understanding of Python ecosystems.

Are  you interested in join this effort?

Miguel? Darcy?
