[IPython-User] notebook and parallel work on Windows7 and Linux

[Fritz Payr]

MinRK, thank you very much for the answers!!

- I think the strategy of separating task-submission from 
result-retrieval will work well for me! :-)

I don't understand websockets, so please ignore this if it doesn't make 
sense: Could it be useful (e.g. in a special "persistent-session-mode"?) 
to have output saved independently of the websocket connections, to be 
able to reconnect to it later? (- together with reconnecting the kernel...)

Paramiko-docs say 
(http://www.lag.net/paramiko/docs/paramiko.SSHClient-class.html#load_system_host_keys) 
loading hosts with filename=None "...is probably only useful on posix." 
- I'm afraid on Windows they really leave known-hosts-management to the 
application! :-/
- But then, for what you call "sort of working" on Windows, IPython's 
SSH code really does a very decent job!! :-)

Thanks!
Fritz
