Refactor kernel #13

Closed xerz-one closed 4 years ago

xerz-one commented 4 years ago

Currently, the kernel code is manually installed by copying the contents of src into $JUPYTER_PATH/kernels/guile and replacing the absolute path of guile-jupyter-kernel.scm inside kernel.json. Ideally, a Jupyter kernel should be able to run without making any changes to the source code, thus the project should be refactored accordingly, providing a Makefile or some similar installation script.

The best choice imho would be providing the kernel script as a Guile module. Additionally, I have looked into including the Jupyter path relative variable into kernel.json, but jupyter/jupyter_client provides no way to add in variables other than connection_file. Perhaps looking into how guix-kernel does it could be helpful?

Actually, it's clear this project is duplicating efforts over those of guix-kernel. Could be worth talking with Ludovic Courtès.

It is easier to use Dockerfile to avoid these issues.
