|
43 | The goal of IPython is to create a comprehensive environment for | |
|
44 | interactive and exploratory computing. To support this goal, IPython | |
|
45 | has two main components: | |
|
43 | IPython provides a rich toolkit to help you make the most out of using Python | |
|
44 | interactively. Its main components are: | |
|
46 | 45 | |
|
47 | * An enhanced interactive Python shell. | |
|
46 | * Powerful interactive Python shells (terminal- and Qt-based). | |
|
47 | * Support for interactive data visualization and use of GUI toolkits. | |
|
48 | * Flexible, embeddable interpreters to load into your own projects. | |
|
49 | * Tools for high level and interactive parallel computing. | |
|
48 | 50 | |
|
49 | * An architecture for interactive parallel computing. | |
|
50 | ||
|
51 | The enhanced interactive Python shell has the following main features: | |
|
51 | The enhanced interactive Python shells have the following main features: | |
|
52 | 52 | |
|
53 | 53 | * Comprehensive object introspection. |
|
54 | 54 | |
|
55 | 55 | * Input history, persistent across sessions. |
|
56 | 56 | |
|
57 | 57 | * Caching of output results during a session with automatically generated |
|
58 | 58 | references. |
|
59 | 59 | |
|
60 | 60 | * Readline based name completion. |
|
61 | 61 | |
|
62 | 62 | * Extensible system of 'magic' commands for controlling the environment and |
|
63 | 63 | performing many tasks related either to IPython or the operating system. |
|
64 | 64 | |
|
65 | 65 | * Configuration system with easy switching between different setups (simpler |
|
66 | 66 | than changing $PYTHONSTARTUP environment variables every time). |
|
67 | 67 | |
|
68 | 68 | * Session logging and reloading. |
|
69 | 69 | |
|
70 | 70 | * Extensible syntax processing for special purpose situations. |
|
71 | 71 | |
|
72 | 72 | * Access to the system shell with user-extensible alias system. |
|
73 | 73 | |
|
74 | 74 | * Easily embeddable in other Python programs and wxPython GUIs. |
|
75 | 75 | |
|
76 | 76 | * Integrated access to the pdb debugger and the Python profiler. |
|
77 | 77 | |
|
78 | 78 | The parallel computing architecture has the following main features: |
|
79 | 79 | |
|
80 | 80 | * Quickly parallelize Python code from an interactive Python/IPython session. |
|
81 | 81 | |
|
82 | 82 | * A flexible and dynamic process model that be deployed on anything from |
|
83 | 83 | multicore workstations to supercomputers. |
|
84 | 84 | |
|
85 | 85 | * An architecture that supports many different styles of parallelism, from |
|
86 | 86 | message passing to task farming. |
|
87 | 87 | |
|
88 | 88 | * Both blocking and fully asynchronous interfaces. |
|
89 | 89 | |
|
90 | 90 | * High level APIs that enable many things to be parallelized in a few lines |
|
91 | 91 | of code. |
|
92 | 92 | |
|
93 | 93 | * Share live parallel jobs with other users securely. |
|
94 | 94 | |
|
95 | 95 | * Dynamically load balanced task farming system. |
|
96 | 96 | |
|
97 | 97 | * Robust error handling in parallel code. |
|
98 | 98 | |
