IPython: Productive Interactive Computing

Overview

Welcome to IPython. Our full documentation is available on our website <http://ipython.org/documentation.html>_; if you downloaded a built source
distribution the docs/source directory contains the plaintext version of
these manuals. If you have Sphinx installed, you can build them by typing
cd docs; make html for local browsing.

See the install page <http://ipython.org/install.html>__ to install IPython.

The Notebook, Qt console and a number of other pieces are now parts of Jupyter.
See the Jupyter installation docs <http://jupyter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html>__
if you want to use these.

Officially, IPython requires Python version 2.7, or 3.3 and above.
IPython 1.x is the last IPython version to support Python 2.6 and 3.2.

Instant running

You can run IPython from this directory without even installing it system-wide
by typing at the terminal::

$ python -m IPython
