reactivity in pidgy

pidgy allows authors to include python objects in their markdown using jinja templates.

reactive templates

jinja2 is pidgys preferred template language that allows python objects to be displayed in markdown displays. when templates are used, pidgy watches for changes to template variables and will update displays when the values change.

modified IPython templates

pidgy features modified jinja2 templates that can access all the variables in the interactive shell. templates are rendered by the IPython display system and converted to their web representation.
