Support of notebooks in VS Code?

[kolibril13]

Would it be possible to use ipylab in VS Code notebooks?
Currently, it's failing

similar report to
#114

ipylab is based on JupyterLab, and VS Code does not seem to be using any part of JupyterLab for rendering notebooks (as far as a I know, except @jupyterlab/services).

So this very likely never going to be supported in this repo :)

That sounds reasonable!
VS Code has its own API to handle notebook operations:

So in theory there could be a package build ontop of ipylab that checks for the platform and then calls these functions accordingly, but I think it's probably not worth the effort to make such a package.

Or rather have a package similar to ipylab, but using the VS Code API instead. It might be possible to reuse some Python parts of the ipylab package, but not sure it would be worth it.
