Descrizione

With the new Python kernels which are now arising, it may be interesting to define a scoped API that a Python kernel must make available for the Python runtime.

For example, `xeus-python` monkey-patches `IPython.display`, `IPython.clear_output`, etc... I just opened https://github.com/jupyter-widgets/ipywidgets/issues/2665 in ipywidgets to list the IPython and ipykernel APIs that we are using and may be included in this limited API.

Instead of monkey-patching and using the IPython module, a way to go may be for the kernel to dynamically create a "kernel" python module that has all these functions...

This somewhat goes along the lines of @Carreau's remark on points of convergence between ipykernel and xeus-python:

> If users needs to switch between ipykernel and Xeus-python depending on wether they want to use a given magic or the debugger the experience will be sub-par. If we have to choose, a clear distinction of features would be better than two almost similar projects.

Direzione di ricerca

Start by reviewing the linked ipywidgets issue 2665 and comparing the IPython and ipykernel APIs used by xeus-python. Define the scope and compatibility requirements for a shared Python-kernel API, including whether a dynamically created kernel module is appropriate; the work is done when the API boundary and adoption path are agreed.
