At first I wanted to separate the base classes of ILua because other projects could potentially benefit from them. On second thought, this is pretty far fetched at the moment, and my life maintaining ILua will be easier if I merge txkernel into it. TXKernel still lives in ILua, so be sure to pay that repo a visit!
TXKernel is a base kernel for Jupyter powered by Twisted. TXKernel development really revolves around ILua, at least for it's early stages. If your kernel is to be written in Python, I'd recommend checking out Jupyter's repositories as they contain much more mature base classes
