If you use Python, there's a good chance you have heard of IPython, which provides an enhanced read-eval-printloop (REPL) for Python. But there is more to IPython than just a moreconvenient REPL. Today's IPython comes with integrated libraries that turnit into an assistant for several advanced computing tasks.
