Support for ipypopout #16251

Closed mariobuikhuizen closed 3 days ago

mariobuikhuizen commented 3 days ago

Would it be possible to get ipypopout working? It opens a new browser window, connects to the kernel it was opened from and shows the target widget.

It would need the following:

The server extension of Voila or a way to serve a static HTML file accessible by the opened browser window.
Access the vscode-jupyter-kernel from the opened browser window.

Is this possible in vscode / vscode-jupyter?

Duplicate of https://github.com/microsoft/vscode-jupyter/issues/1120

I'm not sure this is a duplicate. I think #1120 would require integration with the vscode interface (and seems difficult to do). For ipypopout we might be able to get this working ourselves if we know how to do both things Mario mentioned (serving assets, and find a way to connect to the kernel).

way to connect to the kernel). Unfortunately there's no webserver nor that is served for an external browser window to connect to the kernel.

The only way to connect to the kernel is via some messaging api, and this will not be possible with external browser windows. The only approach we have and plan on supporting is using a vs code window.
