ipython looks really interesting, maybe even deserving its own HN thread.
This is the second time I've seen it in the last month, I noticed it in the documentation of a Python static blog generator, Nikola [1].

- gknoy 13y agoI love IPython: it's definitely worth it if you want to regularly use a REPL to explore things like your Django objects, filter for things, or test scripts with test data. I really like it for exploring a codebase which I am not 100% familiar with, as its tab completion is excellent. Run it with ipython --pprint though, so you get automatic pretty printing. I also recommend using the qtconsole plugin , as it is Much Nicer. Basically, if you like bpython, this is better in every way I can think of. If you like the plain python REPL, give this a shot anyway. :) You may be pleasantly surprised.
- omaranto 13y agoYou can also use the ipython notebook instead of qtconsole if for some reason you refuse install At on your system (I have a GTK using friend who so refuses).
- Chris2048 13y agoIt also has a nice client-server structure too: I think there's a vim or emacs python extension that connects to an ipython kernel to run execute python snippets.
