Add support for non-blocking functionality in IPython. #1

Closed lebedov closed 7 years ago

lebedov commented 9 years ago

This pull request enables one to start the object browser window in IPython without blocking the session, i.e., one can continue to interact with the IPython session even after the browser window is created. Ordinary blocking behavior is maintained when the browser is opened from a regular python session.

My appologies for never replying. I eventually implemented this functionality myself, but this was inspired by your pull-request. So thank you for your contribution.

(Unfortunately my implementation works only in IPython4. It is broken in IPython 5, but I will see what I can do about that)

Great!

I reported a bug about it. It will be fixed in IPython 5.2
