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  completion,  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  configuring  IPython,  do  'ipython
       profile create', and edit '*_config.py' files located in IPYTHONDIR/profile_default.
