Rich architecture for interactive computing with Python

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 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.
