 """
 IPython provides a rich toolkit to help you make the most out of using Python
 interactively.  Its main components are:
 
-* Powerful interactive Python shells (terminal- and Qt-based).
-* A web-based interactive notebook environment with all shell features plus
-  support for embedded figures, animations and rich media.
-* Support for interactive data visualization and use of GUI toolkits.
-* Flexible, embeddable interpreters to load into your own projects.
-* A high-performance library for high level and interactive parallel computing
-  that works in multicore systems, clusters, supercomputing and cloud scenarios.
+* A powerful interactive Python shell
+* A `Jupyter <http://jupyter.org/>`_ kernel to work with Python code in Jupyter
+  notebooks and other interactive frontends.
 
 The enhanced interactive Python shells have the following main features:
 
 * Comprehensive object introspection.
 
 * Input history, persistent across sessions.
 
 * Caching of output results during a session with automatically generated
   references.
 
 * Extensible tab completion, with support by default for completion of python
   variables and keywords, filenames and function keywords.
 
 * Extensible system of 'magic' commands for controlling the environment and
   performing many tasks related either to IPython or the operating system.
 
 * A rich 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 and GUIs.
 
 * Integrated access to the pdb debugger and the Python profiler.
 
-The parallel computing architecture has the following main features:
-
-* Quickly parallelize Python code from an interactive Python/IPython session.
-
-* A flexible and dynamic process model that be deployed on anything from
-  multicore workstations to supercomputers.
-
-* An architecture that supports many different styles of parallelism, from
-  message passing to task farming.
-
-* Both blocking and fully asynchronous interfaces.
-
-* High level APIs that enable many things to be parallelized in a few lines
-  of code.
-
-* Share live parallel jobs with other users securely.
-
-* Dynamically load balanced task farming system.
-
-* Robust error handling in parallel code.
-
 The latest development version is always available from IPython's `GitHub
 site <http://github.com/ipython>`_.
