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 <https://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.
