parse cl_args agnostic of leading '-' leading '-' is stripped from all command-line args for parsing. This means that `ipython --gui=qt` will work, as will `ipython gui=qt` non-leading '-' is still allowed, since rc1 unfortunately made it into EPD this week. help output now includes '--' format, to discourage use of short form. argv passed to scripts specified on the command-line is also fixed Also, parsing will stop at the first unrecognized arg, so `ipython foo.py -i` is *not* the same as `ipython -i foo.py` (foo will get -i, not IPython). This makes passing args to scripts match what should be expected. config tests updated accordingly.

IPython README

Overview

Welcome to IPython. Our full documentation can be found in the docs/dist subdirectory in .html and .pdf formats, also available online at our docs repo. 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 or 2.7. An experimental port of IPython to Python 3.x is being developed at http://github.com/ipython/ipython-py3k.

Instant running

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

$ python ipython.py
