ipython and the ipython notebook
--------------------------------
`ipython <http://ipython.scipy.org>`_ is a more user-friendly version of python with an enhanced interactive shell, which is specially useful
in conjunction with matplotlib.
If :program:`ipython` is installed on your machine, it will be automatically detected by the TRIQS installation process.
A second script named `ipytriqs` will be generated along `pytriqs`, where the standard python shell is replaced by the ipython one.
IPython notebook
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
TRIQS is compatible with the great new IPython notebook (ipython 0.12), which is a notebook-style web interface to IPython and can be started withe command ipython notebook.
If you wish to install the notebook:
* The simplest is to use an Enthought distribution or Ubuntu 12.10.
* Use the shell ipytriqs_notebook in the directory you want to work.
* NB : example of notebooks are provided in the notebook sudirectory.
