A usage walkthru showing the use of the enhanced interactive shell named IPython. Divided into five parts, this talk in the series will cover tab completion, namespace management, logging, the help system and introspection.
This series is a follow-on to the talk "5-Minutes with Python and the Interactive Shell 'IPython'" which gave an overview as a slideshow of the features of IPython.
NOTE: The portions of this talk series that demonstrate access to the underlying operating system shell utilize Linux and the bash shell.

Nice video, very helpful, thanks. Will certainly watch the rest.
very nice little vid Jeff. thank you for the work you put in. I'll be watching the rest of them for sure.
Thank you for this video!
A nice and comfortable video-howto, thanx alot!
Great stuff, thanks! :)
Only minor issue I sent you email about, re: the 5-minute overview you mention, and which seems to be on your page, (with your name under it) but links to some 5-minute video by someone else... not a huge deal, obviously.
Much appreciated!

Thank you for making this video. IPython strike me as something that could be incredibly useful. But I've never have enough sustained interest to learn and use it effectively. I think your video really help to initiate me to the tool. Looking forward for the next part of the video.
very good, and informative video. thank god that there are people like you that love what they do enough to want to explain it to other people. thank you.
I want more!!!
:)
I use python for 2 years.
Interested by mathplotlib which brought me to ipython and then to your video.
Your demo provides a fast look at what ipython does and one has only to remember what seems mandatoty.
Nice job.
Thanks for the video. I'm new to python and trying to find the best ways to learn the language. IPython looks like a great tool.
I am discovering iPython with your videos. I think iPython is awesome! At first, it is a bit difficult because you have to know commands to use it. I did watch the first video many times. There is lots of stuff in it.
It is really cool because iPython is like having a shell with the power of Python.
I think you should mention that usual console edition keys are working in iPython.
If I do %store x > something, I don't know how to load it. May be you should tell.
Thank a lot Jeff. People like you make Python a great community. I hope to see you at Montreal Python. We have a great community here in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
I think I'll probably do a flash presentation of iPython in our next meeting. I'll mention your videos.
Great overview!
Hi! Just watched the first of your IPython series. Looking forward to watching the rest. Screencasts rule!
Amazing introduction to IPython. Just loved it!
Thanks for sharing your expertise. I learned and enjoyed your video.
Awesome Job!
enjoyed it ; well done. IF you ever in Singapore i buy u a beer !
Enjoyed the first one very much. Thanks a lot. One very tiny comment: You mentioned that you used emacs as your editor, how did you change it from vi?
Jeff, I'm looking for an IDE that can help my son learn to program. This looks interesting; I'll give it a shot! Thanks.
a good demonstration - would have taken me at least a couple of extra hours to work out on my own. Thankyou.
muy bueno para los que estamos empezando a conocer esta herramienta tan versatil para programar

good intro... on to #2!
Amazing stuff
This cuts down hours of work involved in finding the right place to start and the right time and the right blah...
Thanks Jeff,
Python makes life easy. At a higher level, comes iPython. And even higher, YOU (<- whatever that meant ;-) )
Thanks again.
Very nice tutorial on iPython, very clear, I like to use it.
I am very new with Python and I discover how powerful this language is.
After more than 10 years developing with Java I am now become a fan or Python.
I'm sold. Thanks!
Thanks
You inspired me to try ipython :)
Really enjoyed ipython video 1/5...eye opening stuff. e.g. the ability to open the source of a function in a text editor like "edit -x re.match" is awesome...
