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

       ipbori - An Interactive PolyBoRi Shell

SYNOPSIS

       ipbori [ -ipythonprefix	prefix ] [  ipython-options ]

DESCRIPTION

       An  interactive IPython shell for interfacing with the PolyBoRi framework. It offers full support of specialized data structures as well as
       C/C++- and Python-based algorithms for treating polynomials over Boolean rings.

OPTIONS

       -ipythonprefix
	      This options allows to select a path for the IPython executable in the case of multiple IPython installations.

	      Alternatively, the environment variable IPYTHONPREFIX may be set accordingly.

       In addition IPython options may be added to the command line.

ENVIRONMENT

       IPYTHONPREFIX
	      Defines a path for the IPython executable. It can be overwritten by the -ipythonprefix option.

Background
       The core of PolyBoRi is a C++ library, which is wrapped and extended by a Python interface. Essentially, ipbori calls IPython together with
       a  profile for using PolyBoRi's python interface.  It can be used as a special purpose computer-algebra system for computation with polyno-
       mials over Boolean rings.  In ipbori a global ring is already predefined and a set of variables called  x(0),  ...,  x(9999).  The  default
       ordering is lexicographical ordering (lp).

       For  more  details,  see the PolyBoRi documentation. In particular, have a look at the tutorial, the doxygen part for the core library, and
       pythondoc part for the high-level routines.

AUTHOR

       The PolyBoRi framework was created by The PolyBoRi Team <polybori@mfo.de>, consisting of Michael Brickenstein <brickenstein@mfo.de>  (high-
       level algorithms, primary designer) and Alexander Dreyer <alexander.dreyer@itwm.fraunhofer.de> (low-level routines, project infrastructure,
       and this man page).
