IPYTHON(1)						      General Commands Manual							IPYTHON(1)

NAME

       ipython - Tools for Interactive Computing in Python.

SYNOPSIS

       ipython [options] files...

       ipython subcommand [options]...

DESCRIPTION

       An  interactive Python shell with automatic history (input and output), dynamic object introspection, easier configuration, command comple-
       tion, access to the system shell, integration with numerical and scientific computing tools, web notebook, Qt console, and more.

       For more information on how to use IPython, see 'ipython --help', or 'ipython --help-all' for all available command-line options.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       IPYTHONDIR
	   This is the location where IPython stores all its configuration files.  The default on most platforms is $HOME/.ipython, but  on  Linux
	   IPython respects the XDG config specification, which will put IPYTHONDIR in $HOME/.config/ipython by default.

	   You can see the computed value of IPYTHONDIR with `ipython locate`.

FILES

       IPython	uses various configuration files stored in profiles within IPYTHONDIR.	To generate the default configuration files and start con-
       figuring IPython, do 'ipython profile create', and edit '*_config.py' files located in IPYTHONDIR/profile_default.

AUTHORS

       IPython is written by the IPython Development Team <https://github.com/ipython/ipython>.

NAME

       isympy - interactive shell for SymPy

SYNOPSIS

       isympy [-c | --console]
       isympy [ {-h | --help} | {-v | --version} ]

DESCRIPTION

       isympy  is  a  Python shell for SymPy. It is just a normal python shell (ipython shell if you have the ipython package installed) that exe-
       cutes the following commands so that you don't have to:

       >>> from __future__ import division
       >>> from sympy import *
       >>> x, y, z = symbols("xyz")
       >>> k, m, n = symbols("kmn", integer=True)

       So starting isympy is equivalent to starting python (or ipython) and executing the above commands by hand. It  is  intended  for  easy  and
       quick  experimentation  with  SymPy. For more complicated programs, it is recommended to write a script and import things explicitly (using
       the "from sympy import sin, log, Symbol, ..." idiom).

OPTIONS

       -c shell, --console=shell
	      Use the specified shell (python or ipython) as console backend instead of the default one (ipython if present or python otherwise).

	      Example: isympy -c python

FILES

       ${HOME}/.sympy-history
	      Saves the history of commands when using the python shell as backend.

BUGS

       The upstreams BTS can be found at <http://code.google.com/p/sympy/issues/list> Please report all bugs that you find  in	there,	this  will
       help improve the overall quality of SymPy.
