<BR><BR>
IPython’s interactive shell (ipython), has the following goals, amongst others:
<ol>
<li>Provide an interactive shell superior to Python’s default. IPython
has many features for tab-completion, object introspection, system shell
access, command history retrieval across sessions, 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).</li>
<li>Serve as an embeddable, ready to use interpreter for your own
programs. An interactive IPython shell 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.</li>
<li>Offer a flexible framework which can be used as the base
environment for working with other systems, with Python as the underlying
bridge language. Specifically scientific environments like Mathematica,
IDL and Matlab inspired its design, but similar ideas can be
useful in many fields.</li>
<li>Allow interactive testing of threaded graphical toolkits. IPython
has support for interactive, non-blocking control of GTK, Qt, WX, GLUT, and
OS X applications via special threading flags. The normal Python
shell can only do this for Tkinter applications.</li>
</ol>
