IPython notebooks allow the IPython terminal to be used from a browser in combination with graphical components that wouldn't work in a terminal such as plots (matplotlib) and equations (sympy). See e.g. here for examples of how it looks with sympy (notice that the sympy output is rendered as proper equations with Mathjax in the browser). http://nbviewer.ipython.org/github/ipython/ipython/blob/master/examples/notebooks/SymPy%20Examples.ipynb Oscar _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
