Jupyter: automatic rendering of objects as HTML
Rendering of last-returning objects wasn't implemented using a custom display hook, like in IPyKernel, because it is not thread-safe. Instead user's code is modified to call an external method, Base_renderAsHtml, with the object as argument to render it. This external method can be called manually as the user wishes. To render a object of a given class a processor needs to be created and associated with that class. When the class has no processor, the default one is used to render the object's string representation. Many processors were created for some special classes: Image class from the Image Module, Figure class from matplotlib and all the IPython's display objects classes (Audio, IFrame, YouTubeVideo, VimeoVideo, ScribdDocument, FileLink, and FileLinks). The user can manually add processors as he likes using the `_processor_list` object that is automatically injected into the code context.
