Merge pull request #1059 from fperez/__IPYTHON__ Switch to simple `__IPYTHON__` global to indicate an IPython Shell object has been created. Note that this does *not* try to track whether user code is being executed by ipython via %run, nor whether the Shell object itself is running an interactive event loop or not. So the answer for how people should query whether IPython objects are active is now simply ``` try: __IPYTHON__ except NameError: print 'not in IPython' ``` We do not attempt to track activity levels anymore, as we realized that logic was ultimately to brittle and error prone to be of any real use.

IPython: Productive Interactive Computing

Overview

Welcome to IPython. Our full documentation, including PDF versions of our manual, is available on our website; if you downloaded a built source distribution the docs/html directory contains an HTML version of the manual. The docs/source directory contains the plaintext version of these manuals.

Dependencies and supported Python versions

For full details, see the installation section of the manual. The basic parts of IPython only need the Python standard library, but much of its more advanced functionality requires extra packages.

Officially, IPython requires Python version 2.6, 2.7, or 3.1 and above.

Instant running

You can run IPython from this directory without even installing it system-wide by typing at the terminal:

$ python ipython.py
