<title> IPython Console Plugin</title>
<p>
The IPython Console Plugin allows real-time interaction with a selected item in the <link xref="desktop_tree_view">
Application Tree View</link>. Since the IPython Console Plugin is an interactive Python shell, you can import any Python
modules you want.
</p>
<note style="tip">
<p>
Make sure you have the standalone package IPython installed in your system. Otherwise, the IPython Console Plugin will
not work properly.

<title>Running the IPython Console Plugin</title>
<p>
To run the IPython Console Plugin, select one of the accessible items
listed in the Application Tree View - either an application or a widget. In the plugin, the
selected item will correspond to the variable 'acc'.
</p>
<p>
Pressing <key>Tab</key> shows completions for the current command in the console,
what can be useful for discovering pyatspi methods.
