IPython is an interactive shell for the Python programming language that offers enhanced introspection, additional shell syntax, tab completion and rich history.

[edit] Other features
IPython allows non-blocking interaction with Tkinter, GTK, Qt and wxWidgets (the standard Python shell only allows interaction with Tkinter). IPython can interactively manage parallel computing clusters using asynchronous status callbacks and/or MPI. IPython can also be used as a system shell replacement. Its default behavior is largely familiar to Unix shells, but it allows customization and the flexibility of executing code in a live Python environment.
[edit] In the media
IPython has been mentioned in the popular computing press,[1] and it has a presence at scientific conferences.[2] For scientific and engineering work, it is often presented as a companion tool to Matplotlib.[3]
