A Jupyter kernel for Scilab

This requires `Jupyter Notebook <http://jupyter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html>`_, and `Scilab <http://www.scilab.org/download/latest>`_.

To install::

    pip install scilab_kernel
    python -m scilab_kernel.install

To use it, run one of:

.. code:: shell

    ipython notebook
    # In the notebook interface, select Scilab from the 'New' menu
    ipython qtconsole --kernel scilab
    ipython console --kernel scilab

This is based on `MetaKernel <http://pypi.python.org/pypi/metakernel>`_,
which means it features a standard set of magics.

A sample notebook is available online_.

You can specify the path to your Octave executable by creating a `SCILAB_EXECUTABLE` environmental variable.
