Hi, I just noticed this package in PyPI

> `jupyterstan` is a package to help development of Stan models (using `pystan` ) in jupyter notebooks.
> 
> The package is heavily based on Arvinds-ds [stanmagic](https://github.com/Arvinds-ds/stanmagic) package, but provides an interface that simply returns a `pystan.Model` object.
> 
> In addition, it bundles Arvinds-ds `stan_code_helper` package to improve syntax highlighting for stan cells.
> 
> ## Features
> 
> - Stan language syntax highlighting in all cells beginning with `%%stan`
> - Compile a stan model and save it as a pystan variable by running a `%%stan` cell
> - No longer worry about `model_code` , reading in stan files, etc.

> **[jupyterstan](https://pypi.org/project/jupyterstan/)**
>
> Magics for defining stan code in notebooks.

Looks very promising.
