Actually, I'm not sure how it worked. It really was (and is) magic to me. I do know that the basics still does work in degraded (no zmq) mode. My plan is to get *all* the features working in no-zmq mode. > While this still may be possible with the new Ipython, (and this may > be what you are working on?), the new model for this is to have two > interpreters running, one running Leo and one running Ipython and > handle the communications between the two through the zmq interchange > library, (via the python bindings provided by pyzmq).

I hadn't thought of that. Clearly, something like zmq could solve a lot of problems. > Setting up zmq on a windows PC is so involved, that I have not done > anything with Ipython lately, however, the people at enthought have a > windows distribution package that includes it, plus a number of > scientific, mathematical, simulation goods that will work out of the > box. It runs Leo fine. Time to check into enthought. Thanks for this tip. I'd love to give IPython notebooks try. And all the other goodies too.
