IPython -- An enhanced Interactive Python
|
|
|
|
|
|
One of Python's nicest features is its interactive interpreter. This allows
|
|
|
very fast testing of ideas without the overhead of creating test files as is
|
|
|
typical in most programming languages. However, the interpreter supplied with
|
|
|
the standard Python distribution is fairly primitive (and IDLE isn't really
|
|
|
much better).
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPython tries to:
|
|
|
|
|
|
i - provide an efficient environment for interactive work in Python
|
|
|
programming. It tries to address what we see as shortcomings of the standard
|
|
|
Python prompt, and adds many features to make interactive work much more
|
|
|
efficient.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ii - offer a flexible framework so that it can be used as the base
|
|
|
environment for other projects and problems where Python can be the
|
|
|
underlying language. Specifically scientific environments like Mathematica,
|
|
|
IDL and Mathcad inspired its design, but similar ideas can be useful in many
|
|
|
fields. Python is a fabulous language for implementing this kind of system
|
|
|
(due to its dynamic and introspective features), and with suitable libraries
|
|
|
entire systems could be built leveraging Python's power.
|
|
|
|
|
|
iii - serve as an embeddable, ready to go interpreter for your own programs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
IPython requires Python 2.3 or newer.
