Merge pull request #1862 from minrk/bindkernel Minor bind_kernel improvements. * `bind_kernel()` on an already bound kernel is a no-op. * `%qtconsole` on an engine implies bind_kernel * add bind_kernel, and `%px %qtconsole` to docs

.. _plugins_overview:
===============
IPython plugins
===============
IPython has a plugin mechanism that allows users to create new and custom
runtime components for IPython. Plugins are different from extensions:
* Extensions are used to load plugins.
* Plugins are a more advanced configuration system that gives you access
to the running IPython instance.
* Plugins are traited and configurable.
At this point, the documentation of our plugin system is minimal. If you are
interested in creating a new plugin, see the following files:
* :file:`IPython/extensions/parallelmagic.py`
* :file:`IPython/extensions/autoreload.py`
As well as our documentation on the :ref:`configuration system <config_overview>`
and :ref:`extensions <extensions_overview>`.
