Introduction

When this extension is loaded, you can type code into the IPython prompt and visualize its execution in a web browser.

This extension also defines a %clear magic command to clear the user's global environment and accompanying visualization, and %run_server command to start tornado server and run default browser from within IPython

One-minute video demo:

Prerequisites:

IPython shell (http://ipython.org)
Tornado Web server (http://www.tornadoweb.org)

Instructions:

Clone this repo:

$ git clone https://github.com/klonuo/opt-ipy
$ cd opt-ipy

then start the IPython shell in this directory by running:

$ ipython

and load the extension and start server by running:

In[1]: %load_ext opt_ipy

In[2]: %run_server

At this point, as soon as you execute a Python statement in the IPython shell, it should immediately be visualized in your browser.
