ipython 0.7.1.fix1

An enhanced interactive Python shell.

Latest Version: 0.8.4

IPython provides a replacement for the interactive Python interpreter with extra functionality.

Main features:

  • Comprehensive object introspection.
  • Input history, persistent across sessions.
  • Caching of output results during a session with automatically generated references.
  • Readline based name completion.
  • Extensible system of 'magic' commands for controlling the environment and performing many tasks related either to IPython or the operating system.
  • Configuration system with easy switching between different setups (simpler than changing $PYTHONSTARTUP environment variables every time).
  • Session logging and reloading.
  • Extensible syntax processing for special purpose situations.
  • Access to the system shell with user-extensible alias system.
  • Easily embeddable in other Python programs.
  • Integrated access to the pdb debugger and the Python profiler.

The latest development version is always available at the IPython subversion repository.
