IPython is a powerful, free and open-source interactive shell used for interactive computing. It's an alternative to the Python interpreter that provides improvements over its default counterpart. These improvements include syntax highlight, proper indentation, documentation, and much more. With iPython, you can use Jupyter notebooks to create reports that contain live code, charts, and more interesting things for data science and data visualisation.
