now I can not remember if I sent this earlier.

I like the idea behind ob-ipython, hopefully where it might go as
ob-jupyter, which could make it able to run many other languages via the
jupyter project and it's kernels.

The last time I tried it, it only supported sessions, and I had to add
non-session support. I doubt it supported async running either.

Before any major effort went in to a new ob-python, it is probably worth
a serious look at what the jupyter project could offer.
