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.
The latest development version is always available from IPython's `GitHub
site <http://github.com/ipython>`_.
