See > https://github.com/ipython/ipython/pull/4195 Yeah, I think we should definitely look into integrating with this mechanism for when we are embedded in a Notebook. However, we always want the underlying infrastructure to be independent of IPython Notebook, because we want people to be able to build analytical applications on top of these components. > Here's a very simple example of the Comm implementation working with > matplotlib images in the Sage Cell server (which is built on top of the > IPython infrastructure): http://sagecell.sagemath.org/?q=fyjgmk (I'd > love to see a bokeh version of this sort of thing :). > This is interesting, and introducing widgets is already on the roadmap, tentatively v0.4. When running against a plot server, Bokeh plots already push selections back to the server side. (That's how the linked brushing in e.g. this example works: https://www.wakari.io/sharing/bundle/pwang/cars) Our immediate short-term priorities for 0.3 are improving the layout mechanism, incorporating large data processing into the plot server, and investigating basic interop with Matplotlib objects. -Peter
