Previously we had supported using ipywidgets in the notebook (using the regular Jupyter CommManager) and on the server using ipywidgets_bokeh. I had however overlooked the case where you start a server inside the notebook, e.g. when using
.show()
. This PR provides a custom IPyKernel to be used in such scenarios, when rendering a plot with.show()
the kernel on each Comm is updated to point to this custom kernel allowing communication on the server even when it has been launched inside a notebook.
