I unfortunately don't keep up with sage-dev as much as I'd like to, so forgive me if I'm saying something you all already know...

Once sage is ported to work with ipython 0.12 (to be released hopefully within a few weeks, git master is nearly ready), this should be more or less trivial. Pierre (Spyder author) has done a good job of keeping up with the changes in ipython, and I think the current version of spyder already supports using an ipython kernel over zeromq. So once the work of porting sage's prefilter, config and other details to ipython is done, it should be a simple matter of telling spyder to open an ipython with that configuration instead of a plain one. Incidentally, another thing you'll get with the port will be the ability to run sage in 'headless' mode by running an ipython kernel with the sage config. Now you can type 'ipython kernel' and this starts up an ipython that only listens over zeromq sockets. You use it by connecting a qt console or terminal-based console (this one isn't fully merged yet) and can disconnect-reconnect as needed. The idea is to decouple the basic execution of code in the kernel from the details of the frontend using that kernel. This would make it possible to talk to sage-as-a-service from a variety of clients.
