[Python.NET] announcement - IPython cell magic for C# usage in jupyter notebooks (clrmagic)

Last week I noticed very useful blog post on how to use C# magic cells with
pythonnet from IPython by Xavier Dupré @sdpython
<https://github.com/sdpython>:

http://www.xavierdupre.fr/blog/2014-09-20_nojs.html

As a result of this, we put together a package clrmagic
<https://pypi.python.org/pypi/clrmagic> that can be installed and loaded
into jupyter notebooks in 3 steps:

*pip install clrmagic*

*jupyter notebook*

In open notebook enter:

*%reload_ext clrmagic*

Here is a small demo:

%%CS mypower System.dll
public static double mypower(double x, double y)
{
    if (y == 0) return 1.0 ;
    return System.Math.Pow(x,y) ;
}

<function clrmagic.create_cs_function.<locals>.<lambda>>

mypower(3.0,3.0)

27.0

Note that clrmagic works and is tested both on Windows and Linux! It should
also work on OSX, but I have not tested.

Currently the source code is hosted here:

https://github.com/denfromufa/clrmagic

I plan to host this code in pythonnet repository under:

https://github.com/pythonnet/clrmagic

Let's wait for one week to get any feedback from this mailing list and
jupyter group (to be posted later this week).

Thanks,

Denis and Xavier
