Exposing current `sessionContext` to ipylab about ipylab HOT 7 CLOSED

Thanks @TK-21st!

That would indeed be very useful. I guess another way would be to get a hold on the current notebook (either the current notebook or by accessing the currentWidget from the notebook tracker), and get the session context with:

opts = notebook.sessionContext()

from ipylab.

By the way if you feel like opening a PR (even as a draft), please don't hesitate!

Just did! WIP on reporting the current kernel back.

Also I tried to define a bunch of HasTraits to map the interface from JLab's Typescript API but I clearly do not understand how traitlets are supposed to work 🙄 so that's WIP too..

The latest PR should have the feature necessary.

It was easy to show all sessions, since I can just expose app.serviceManager.sessions
It was a bit harder to make the currrentWidget work. I ended up exposing the private attribute app.shell._tracker which gives me access to the currently in focused widget and go from there.

Need to figure out linter still but it is functional

I opted for using tracker since I wanted to potentially get the session of console widgets too. Turns out that's not working.. Comm open error.
Looks actually like a problem with using ipywidget in console.

Right, the current JupyterLab widget manager does not handle consoles (yet).

Fixed by #46.
