Parameters
----------
cmd : Popen list,
A string of Python code that imports and executes a kernel entry point.
stdin, stdout, stderr : optional (default None)
Standards streams, as defined in subprocess.Popen.
independent : bool, optional (default False)
If set, the kernel process is guaranteed to survive if this process
dies. If not set, an effort is made to ensure that the kernel is killed
when this process dies. Note that in this case it is still good practice
to kill kernels manually before exiting.
cwd : path, optional
The working dir of the kernel process (default: cwd of this process).
ipython_kernel : bool, optional
Whether the kernel is an official IPython one,
and should get a bit of special treatment.
Returns
