Happy to see this direction. I think that the best approach to make Leo and Jupyter collaborate without one becoming the other.
As I have said before, the idea is to go from files to services and for that, I would use the Jupyter Kernel protocol to communicate with Leo, making nodes in Leo behave as Jupyter cells, which means that they can send calculations to the Jupyter Kernel and get results back that would be "output" nodes in Leo. I would start with the Jupyter Client documentation [1], making Leo behave as one of such clients.
