[IPython-dev] Simple Kernel Example

[Doug Blank]

Thanks to the many pointers, I have the start of a simple_kernel.py:

https://github.com/dsblank/simple_kernel

It doesn't actually work yet. My goal is to develop a simple example
that people would find useful to translate into other languages. So,
trying not to use too many Python-specific options.

If you see something that I'm doing wrong, or have suggestions to make
it a better example, please let me know, or fork it and fix.

Thanks!
