In-process kernels
------------------

The Python-language frontends, particularly the Qt console, may now communicate
with in-process kernels, in addition to the traditional out-of-process
kernels. An in-process kernel permits direct access to the kernel namespace,
which is necessary in some applications. It should be understood, however, that
the in-process kernel is not robust to bad user input and will block the main
(GUI) thread while executing. Developers must decide on a case-by-case basis
whether this tradeoff is appropriate for their application.
