[IPython-dev] Using IPython notebooks to teach Python

[Ramalingam Saravanan]

Hi Sébastien,

The multi-user IPython server would be the best option for your needs, but
here are some alternatives:

    https://github.com/ptone/jiffylab

    https://cloud.sagemath.com

    https://github.com/mitotic/graphterm (my own project; somewhat
experimental)

Here's a paper from SciPy14 proceedings that discusses these alternatives:

Best,
Saravanan
