Supporting Scryer Prolog as a backend for the Logtalk Jupyter Kernel

[pmoura]

I'm working on a Jupyter Kernel for Logtalk at:

https://github.com/LogtalkDotOrg/logtalk-jupyter-kernel

This work aims to support as many Prolog backends as possible. The main portability issue is stream redirection, in particular, redirecting output from a goal that would be sent to user_input or user_error to a file. Some systems provide a set_stream/2 predicate (ECLiPSe, LVM, SWI-Prolog, Trealla Prolog, YAP, ...). Others (SICStus Prolog) provide the same functionality via flags. In the case of Scryer Prolog, command-line options also would need to be revised.

If you find the idea of running Scryer Prolog in a Jupyter notebook interesting and you're willing to help with the missing functionality, let me know. Thanks.
