- IPython provides a rich toolkit to help you make the most out of using Python
- interactively. Its main components are:
- * A powerful interactive Python shell
- * A `Jupyter <http://jupyter.org/>`_ kernel to work with Python code in Jupyter
- notebooks and other interactive frontends.
- The enhanced interactive Python shells have the following main features:
- * Comprehensive object introspection.
- * Input history, persistent across sessions.
- * Caching of output results during a session with automatically generated
- references.
- * Extensible tab completion, with support by default for completion of python
- variables and keywords, filenames and function keywords.
- * Extensible system of 'magic' commands for controlling the environment and
- performing many tasks related either to IPython or the operating system.
- * A rich configuration system with easy switching between different setups
- (simpler than changing $PYTHONSTARTUP environment variables every time).
- * Session logging and reloading.
- * Extensible syntax processing for special purpose situations.
- * Access to the system shell with user-extensible alias system.
- * Easily embeddable in other Python programs and GUIs.
- * Integrated access to the pdb debugger and the Python profiler.
- The latest development version is always available from IPython's `GitHub
- site <http://github.com/ipython>`_.
