+""" Simple TCP socket server that executes statements in IPython instance.
+
+Usage:
+
+import ipy_server
+ipy_server.serve_thread(16455)
+
+Now, to execute the statements in this ipython instance, open a TCP socket
+(port 16455), write out the statements, and close the socket. 
+You can use e.g. "telnet localhost 16455" or a script to do this.
+
+This is a bit like 'M-x server-start" or gnuserv in the emacs world.
