IPython is a powerful Python REPL that gives you tab completion, better tracebacks, multiline editing, and several useful features on top of pure Python Scripts. It is also the library that powers the Jupyter Kernel via the IPykernel.
Updates on IPython Parallel; new features, future direction
Support for the Jupyter Debugger Protocol just landed in ipykernel
Last year, we set ourselves to implement a visual debugger for JupyterLab. This endeavor required major developments in the JupyterLab front-end, in core-Jupyter protocols, and on the kernel side (the part of the Jupyter infrastructure responsible for executing the code).
Today we are pleased to announce the release of IPython 7.0, the powerful Python interactive shell that goes above and beyond the default Python REPL with advanced tab completion, syntactic coloration, and more. It’s the jupyter kernel for python used by millions of users, hopefully including you.
Four month after releasing IPython 6.1 and 5.4, and a couple of hours after the release of the notebook 5.1, we are happy to announce the release of IPython 6.2 (Python 3 only), and it’s cousin IPython 5.5 still compatible with Python 2.7.
Slightly over a month ago we released IPython 6.0: the first version of IPython to be compatible only with Python 3. The reception of IPython 6.0 was great, and the codebase way more maintainable.
It is with great pleasure that today we released IPython 6.0 — almost a year after the 5.0 version. Users on Python 3.3 and above can get this latest version with all its new features by asking your package manager to upgrade IPython.
This is a guest post by John, who initially sent it to our mailing list; we believe that it’s an interesting story, so we wanted to share it on here on the blog.
We are pleased to announce the release of IPython 5.0 LTS (or Long Term Support).
Today is an exciting day! We have just finished releasing IPython 4.0, the last piece of the first release of Jupyter and IPython after The Big Split™.
Please upgrade your IPython notebook installation to 3.2 as soon as possible. There are important security patches in this release.
IPython has grown a great deal over the years.
