This is fantastic news - I spend about two-three hours a day in iPython. It's completely replaced my tool chain of awk/sed/wc/grep that I previously used to do analytics on various files - and not only allows me to do much more complex analysis, but also maintains "state" in a visual way so that I can quickly hop through a number of file load/analysis/report cycles.

Being able to do this interactively is going to be a huge win.

If anyone else is interested in real-time collaborative IPython environments, check out https://coderpad.io/.

It's less focused on the data analysis side and more focused on collaborative coding for interview environments. You get a full IPython shell with most of the niceties (syntax highlighting, exception captures, etc).

I wish environments like that supported something like 'run with..' option that would allow for the entry of arguments which would be fed to the script.

I know it's not a big deal to get data another way, but it'd allow for the following of a tutorial like Learn Python the Hard Way totally in-browser.

It might just be me but $50/month for the lowest tier seems a little overpriced. I know it depends on how much utility one can get out of it - maybe I just can't think of $50 of utility.

I might not therefore be the target market.
