STARTING IPython

Most of the book relies on Jupyter Notebook (see Chapter 3) because it provides meth-

ods for creating, managing, and interacting with complex coding examples. However, 

sometimes you need a simple interactive environment to use for quick tests, which is 

the route this chapter uses. Anaconda comes with two such environments, IPython and 

Jupyter QT Console. Of the two, IPython is the simplest to use, but both environments 

provide similar functionality. To start IPython, simply click its entry in the Anaconda3 

folder on your system. For example, when working with Windows, you choose 

Start ➪   All Programs ➪   Anaconda3 ➪   IPython. You can also start IPython in a console or 

terminal window by typing 

IPython and pressing Enter.
