The kernel needs to send a display_data message (or execute_request, which
has basically the same semantics plus a prompt number). Here's the
messaging docs:
http://jupyter-client.readthedocs.org/en/latest/messaging.html#display-data

What the user needs to do in a notebook to make the kernel send that
message depends on the kernel. In IPython, we expose a set of classes and
functions in the IPython.display module to display different kinds of
output. Fishbowl may have something similar, or that may be a feature yet
to be added.
