 """
 Defines a variety of Pygments lexers for highlighting IPython code.
 
 This includes:
 
     IPythonLexer
     IPython3Lexer
         Lexers for pure IPython (python + magic/shell commands)
 
     IPythonPartialTracebackLexer
     IPythonTracebackLexer
         Supports 2.x and 3.x via keyword `python3`.  The partial traceback
         lexer reads everything but the Python code appearing in a traceback.
         The full lexer combines the partial lexer with an IPython lexer.
 
     IPythonConsoleLexer
         A lexer for IPython console sessions, with support for tracebacks.
 
     IPyLexer
         A friendly lexer which examines the first line of text and from it,
         decides whether to use an IPython lexer or an IPython console lexer.
         This is probably the only lexer that needs to be explicitly added
         to Pygments.

 New IPython Console Lexer
 -------------------------
 
 The IPython console lexer has been rewritten and now supports tracebacks
 and customized input/output prompts. An entire suite of lexers is now
 available at :module:`IPython.nbconvert.utils.lexers`. These include:
 
     IPythonLexer
     IPython3Lexer
         Lexers for pure IPython (python + magic/shell commands)
 
     IPythonPartialTracebackLexer
     IPythonTracebackLexer
         Supports 2.x and 3.x via the keyword `python3`.  The partial traceback
         lexer reads everything but the Python code appearing in a traceback.
         The full lexer combines the partial lexer with an IPython lexer.
 
     IPythonConsoleLexer
         A lexer for IPython console sessions, with support for tracebacks.
         Supports 2.x and 3.x via the keyword `python3`.
 
     IPyLexer
         A friendly lexer which examines the first line of text and from it,
         decides whether to use an IPython lexer or an IPython console lexer.
         Supports 2.x and 3.x via the keyword `python3`.
 
 Previously, the :class:`IPythonConsoleLexer` class was available at
 :module:`IPython.sphinxext.ipython_console_hightlight`.  It was inserted
 into Pygments' list of available lexers under the name `ipython`.  It should

 is not the same as IPython code (which itself is a superset of the Python
 language).
