Description
I am sharing an IPython console widget that I have been using for several months in my GUI. It has the same API as all the other QtRe-widgets, in that it takes a run engine client model. It then uses this to connect to the underlying ipython kernel that QueueServer is using. Then, you can run commands in the QueueServer's ipython kernel directly from your GUI.
Motivation and Context
Having an IPython console embedded in a GUI means that you no longer need to switch to a terminal version of Bluesky in order to do debugging, define custom scans, or run plans that aren't included in the GUI. It has been a great way to do development.
How Has This Been Tested?
I have been using this code for several months. It's pretty simple, I'm not sure how you would really test it in an automated fashion.
