A Jupyter kernel for Scilab

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

See the installation instructions for `scilab2py <http://blink1073.github.io/scilab2py/source/installation.html>`_ and `Jupyter Notebook <http://jupyter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html>`_, which are dependencies.

You should have a `Scilab` entry under "New" on the Jupyter Notebook dashboard.

It supports command history, the ``?`` help magic and calltips,
plotting, and completion.  You can toggle inline plotting using ``%inline``.

For details of how this works, see Jupyters's docs on `wrapper kernels
<http://jupyter-client.readthedocs.org/en/latest/wrapperkernels.html>`_.
