[Python-modules-team] Bug#816275: ipython-notebook can't find mathjax.js if base_url is set in your config

[Will Manley]

Package: ipython-notebook
Version: 2.4.1-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

I use IPython notebook on a system serving more than just iPython
notebook.  To do this I set the base_url config option[1].  On with
the debian package this fails when opening a notebook with:

> Failed to retrieve MathJax from '/calibration/static/javascript/mathjax/MathJax.js'

(my base-url is set to '/calibration')

I believe this is due to the patch
[use-system-mathjax-if-available.patch] which doesn't take `base_url`
into account when calling`new_handlers.append`.  I believe the two
places in that patch that refer to mathjax urls should be prepended
should be prepended by the `base_url`.
