[IPython-dev] ipython notebook installation instructions

[Brian Granger]

We have started tho think about things like that, but haven't quite
gotten there.  I think the main question I have is whether or not this
transformation should be applied by the frontends or the kernel.  The
problem with the kernel is that there could be multiple frontends
connected to the kernel and it would be very confusing for those users
to all of a sudden to switch modes.  Also, I don't like the idea of
having stateful magics like this.  We have tried that with the %autopx
magic is it tends to be very confusing.  I guess as I write, I am
leaning towards this being a frontend transformation.
