ipyfernel 0.0.5

Remote execution of solveit/jupyter cells

ipyfernel 🔥

Description

IPyfernel allows you to interact with a persistent remote IPython kernel. It will stream text outputs like simple progress bar updates it will communicate error messages seamlessly and image outputs. It allows you to optionally “hijack” the code cell execution via “sticky” mode so that cells execute remotely by default.

Choice of Name

It’s a remote kernel, so this is a play on words: ipykernel + the German word/prefix “fern” meaning “remote”. Plus it sounds a bit like “infernal.” 🔥
