Hi, 
I would suggest starting IPython with --debug flag to see messages going back and forth. 

Also the messages you send back and forth should not get only content. 
in the doc, you can get the all structure of messages here : 

http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/dev/development/messaging.html#python-functional-api

and in the case of kernel_info_reply you should fill the content key with what you are doing above. 

Here is an full kernel_info_reply in my case :

{'parent_header': {'date': datetime.datetime(2014, 5, 11, 23, 13, 51, 792276), 'username': 'bussonniermatthias', 'session': 'd3b54a91-ba51-4b53-9393-4bec584075d7', 'msg_id': '1544cb4c-9190-4651-9caf-17330ea382cc', 'msg_type': 'kernel_info_request'}, 'msg_type': 'kernel_info_reply', 'msg_id': 'cd756a25-15ab-4996-87b5-460633f4ea68', 'content': {'protocol_version': [4, 1], 'language_version': [2, 7, 6], 'language': 'python', 'ipython_version': [3, 0, 0, 'dev']}, 'header': {'date': datetime.datetime(2014, 5, 11, 23, 14, 9, 461599), 'username': u'kernel', 'session': u'c32cf515-60af-421b-890a-4b6d82a77ecc', 'msg_id': 'cd756a25-15ab-4996-87b5-460633f4ea68', 'msg_type': 'kernel_info_reply'}, 'tracker': <zmq.sugar.tracker.MessageTracker object at 0x107b8b790>, 'metadata': {}}
