SciPy package.Other features
IPython allows non-blocking interaction with
Tkinter ,GTK , Qt and WX. The standard Python shell only allows interaction withTkinter . IPython can interactively manage parallel computing clusters using asynchronous status callbacks and/or MPI. IPython can be used as a system shell replacement, especially on Windows, which has a minimally capable shell. Its default behavior is largely familiar fromUnix shell s, but it allows customization and the flexibility of executing in a live Python environment.In the media
IPython has been mentioned in the popular computing press,cite journal|title=Introducing IPython|date=September 12, 2005|author=Conrad Koziol|journal=NewsForge] and it has a presence at scientific conferences. [http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/About/Presentations About/Presentations - IPython ] ] For scientific and engineering work, it is often presented as a companion tool to
Matplotlib . [http://csdl2.computer.org/persagen/DLAbsToc.jsp?resourcePath=/dl/mags/cs/&toc=comp/mags/cs/2007/03/c3toc.xml&DOI=10.1109/MCSE.2007.53 IPython: A System for Interactive Scientific Computing ] ]External links
