Hi,

we are planning to transition ipython from version 2.4 to 5 [1]. This
amounts to larger changes: ipython-notebook and ipython-qtconsole were
moved to a separate project, Jupyter. Packages for ipython 5 and several
Jupyter components are available in experimental (see [1]), however
jupyter-notebook and jupyter-qtconsole are not packaged yet.

glueviz depends on ipython3-qtconsole. Could you please evaluate if this
is a blocker for the transition or if glueviz could work temporarily
without a dependency on ipython3-qtconsole?
Furthermore, if the dependency on ipython3-qtconsole is not strictly
necessary, could you please test your package with ipython 5 from
experimental?

Thanks,
Tobias
