Description:

IPython is a free software project which tries to:

1. Provide an interactive interpreter superior to Python's default.
IPython has many features for object introspection, shell access, and
its own special command system for adding functionality when working
interactively.

2. Serve as an embeddable, ready to use interpreter for your own
programs. IPython 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.

3. Offer a flexible framework which can be used as the base
environment for other systems with Python as the underlying language.
Specifically scientific environments like Mathematica, IDL and Mathcad
inspired its design, but similar ideas can be useful in many fields.

This package contains IPython shell.
