enable IPC transport for kernels

[minrk]

in progress, but it works with the qtconsole

Config is a bit clumsy, because the interpretation of 'ip' is actually a path when transport is IPC.

Notebook does not yet expose the option, because it's still not well integrated into the rest of the config universe.

Do you think we should chance this one for 0.13, or is it 0.14 material?

[minrk]

0.14, definitely

ping to get status on this one.
Should we mark it as dormant, close and open an issue ?

[minrk]

I'd say it's ready for merge. The config/names can be improved, but I think that can be a separate Issue.

[Carreau]

Ok, the in progress in the description was confusing me.
I'll have a look, try to re-run test_pr and merge if it passes.

[minrk]

yeah, sorry - I had intended to clean up the config API here as well (specifying ipc files with sensible path related names, instead of ip/port), but I don't have time right now. An Issue can be opened for that, if anyone cares enough about it.

But my computer does not find python 3... investigating.
if you could run the test on python3 just to be sure.
Thanks.

Cant get python3 working anymore.
Merging still.
