Yeah, I think we should definitely look into integrating with this
mechanism for when we are embedded in a Notebook. However, we always want
the underlying infrastructure to be independent of IPython Notebook,
because we want people to be able to build analytical applications on top
of these components.

This is interesting, and introducing widgets is already on the roadmap,
tentatively v0.4. When running against a plot server, Bokeh plots already
push selections back to the server side. (That's how the linked brushing
in e.g. this example works: https://www.wakari.io/sharing/bundle/pwang/cars)
Our immediate short-term priorities for 0.3 are improving the layout
mechanism, incorporating large data processing into the plot server, and
investigating basic interop with Matplotlib objects.
