Avoid loading readline in the kernel...
Avoid loading readline in the kernel This bit of code was loading readline even when there was no need for it. In a Qt console or notebook, try: 'readline' in sys.modules 'gnureadline' in sys.modules I plan to rework this code more extensively once we've switched to prompt_toolkit, but for now, this little fix should make the kernel start slightly faster.

"""
Shim to maintain backwards compatibility with old frontend imports.
We have moved all contents of the old `frontend` subpackage into top-level
subpackages (`html`, `qt` and `terminal`), and flattened the notebook into
just `IPython.html`, formerly `IPython.frontend.html.notebook`.
This will let code that was making `from IPython.frontend...` calls continue
working, though a warning will be printed.
