  Description     : Python kernel for jupyter using the xeus library

This package provides xpython, a high-performance python 3 kernel for the
Jupyter interactive computing environment (Jupyter notebook, lab, etc), using
the native xeus library to handle messaging between the interpreter and
frontend as opposed to the pure-python implementation in ipykernel.
