 """
 IPython provides a rich toolkit to help you make the most out of using Python
 interactively.  Its main components are:
 
 * A powerful interactive Python shell
 * A `Jupyter <https://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 latest development version is always available from IPython's `GitHub
 site <http://github.com/ipython>`_.
