A plugin that adds a console to napari

----------------------------------

This [napari] plugin was generated with [Cookiecutter] using with [@napari]'s [cookiecutter-napari-plugin] template.

## Local variables

In napari-console 0.0.8 and earlier, the console `locals()` namespace only
contained a reference to the napari viewer that enclosed the console.

Since version 0.0.9, it instead contains everything in the enclosing frame that
called napari. That is, if your Python code is:

```python
import napari
import numpy as np
from scipy import ndimage as ndi

image = np.random.random((500, 500))
labels = ndi.label(image > 0.7)[0]

viewer, image_layer = napari.imshow(image)
labels_layer = viewer.add_labels(labels)

napari.run()
```

Then the napari console will have the variables `np`, `napari`, `ndi`, `image`,
`labels`, `viewer`, `image_layer`, and `labels_layer` in its namespace.

This is implemented by inspecting the Python stack when the console is first
instantiated, finding the first frame that is outside of the `napari_console`,
`napari`, and `in_n_out` modules, and passing the variables in the frame's
`f_locals` and `f_globals` to the console namespace.

If you want to disable this behavior (for example, because you are embedding
napari and the console within some larger application), you can add
`NAPARI_EMBED=1` to your environment variables before instantiating the
console.
