    you probably want `IPython.start_kernel()` instead.

    Parameters
    ----------
    module : types.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)

        Further keyword args are relayed to the IPKernelApp constructor,

        on the first embed_kernel call for a given process.

    `start_ipython()` does full, regular IPython initialization,
    including loading startup files, configuration, etc.
    much of which is skipped by `embed()`.

    This is a public API method, and will survive implementation changes.

    Parameters
    ----------
    argv : list or None, optional
        If unspecified or None, IPython will parse command-line options from sys.argv.
        To prevent any command-line parsing, pass an empty list: `argv=[]`.
    user_ns : dict, optional
        specify this dictionary to initialize the IPython user namespace with particular values.

        Any other kwargs will be passed to the Application constructor,
