----------
module : ModuleType, optional
The module to load into IPython globals (default: caller)
local_ns : dict, optional
The namespace to load into IPython user namespace (default: caller)
kwargs : various, optional
Further keyword args are relayed to the IPKernelApp constructor,
allowing configuration of the Kernel. Will only have an effect
on the first embed_kernel call for a given process.
