IPython

IPython is an improved Python shell than the one you get from running python in the command-line. It has many cool functions (running Unix commands from the Python shell, easy copy & paste, creating Matplotlib charts in-line etc.). You can find all functions in the documentation. IPython is a kernel for Jupyter Notebook. If you are confused IPython with Jupyter, refer to the Jupyter documentation
