SHORT="An enhanced Interactive Python shell"
cat << EOF
IPython is a free software project (released under the GNU LGPL) which tries to:
1. Provide an interactive shell superior to Python's default. IPython
has many features for object introspection, system shell access,
and its own special command system for adding functionality when
working interactively. It tries to be a very efficient environment
both for Python code development and for exploration of problems
using Python objects (in situations like data analysis).
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.
