IPython is a free software project which tries to:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Provide an interactive shell superior to Python's
|
||
|
|
default. IPython has many features for object introspection,
|
||
|
|
system shell access, and its own special command system for
|
||
|
|
adding functionality when working interactively. It tries to be
|
||
|
|
a very efficient environment both for Python code development
|
||
|
|
and for exploration of problems using Python objects (in
|
||
|
|
situations like data analysis).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
2. Serve as an embeddable, ready to use interpreter for your own
|
||
|
|
programs. IPython can be started with a single call from inside
|
||
|
|
another program, providing access to the current namespace. This
|
||
|
|
can be very useful both for debugging purposes and for
|
||
|
|
situations where a blend of batch-processing and interactive
|
||
|
|
exploration are needed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
3. Offer a flexible framework which can be used as the base
|
||
|
|
environment for other systems with Python as the underlying
|
||
|
|
language. Specifically scientific environments like Mathematica,
|
||
|
|
IDL and Mathcad inspired its design, but similar ideas can be
|
||
|
|
useful in many fields.
