r17399 | Using different kernels | ||
======================= | ||||

You can now choose a kernel for a notebook within the user interface, rather | ||||
than starting up a separate notebook server for each kernel you want to use. The | ||||
syntax highlighting adapts to match the language you're working in. | ||||
Information about the kernel is stored in the notebook file, so when you open a | ||||
notebook, it will automatically start the correct kernel. | ||||
It is also easier to use the Qt console and the terminal console with other | ||||
kernels, using the --kernel flag:: | ||||
ipython qtconsole --kernel bash | ||||
ipython console --kernel bash | ||||
# To list available kernels | ||||
ipython kernelspec list | ||||
Kernel authors should see :ref:`kernelspecs` for how to register their kernels | ||||
with IPython so that these mechanisms work. | ||||
