 This console is based on qt. It would be possible to call it and use it as
 a separate window. However, so far I was not able launch it from wxGUI
 because of various errors. Also it seems that the console (from the
 example above) does not quit with the wx app. Maybe someone will be more
 lucky.


 I haven't succeeded in launching wxGUI from IPython either. The GUI
 freezes. The [https://github.com/ipython/ipython/blob/master/examples/lib
 /gui-wx.py example] works at least, so it should be possible to make it
 work.
