#2That grant is well deserved. IPython is easily the most useful Python tool I have ever used.

Absolutely - it is definitely essential to python development.
Although I hear more and more people talk about bpython[1]. I understand why it's different, but it's just not as awesome as IPython, especially since IPython 0.11+
This is big news for the Python community :)

Basically it's the Python terminal on steroids.

#6Thrilled to see this. IPython Notebook has become my go-to tool for data munging and analytics. I look forward to seeing the IPython team take it to the next level.

#7IPython is extremely useful.
I like the qtconsole feature but i find it less than perfect to install:
1. pip install ipython 2. install qt4 3. pip install pyside / qt4 bindings
The better feature, for me anyway, is the notebook interface (it starts a local web server and gives you a rich web guy, somewhat like a Mathematica idea of interactive notebook editing with inline charting etc.)
But, that's a whole other bunch of dependencies that aren't in scope when installing ipython.
Not sure of the best fix, offer ipython and ipython-full-stack on PyPI?

#8IPython notebook is actually one of the most interesting developments not just in the python world, but in computing generally. It's the first step towards the fully graphical shell on the internet that many of us have been looking for, whether or not we realize it.
Being able to weave together text|markdown, tabular data (in almost any format you want) and images ( whether from matplotlib, raw captures, or synthetic assemblies ) in one environment is very powerful.
I suspect that with some additional tools IPython notebook will become the integrators workbench par excellence, useful in many contexts.

#9I really wish there was an equivalent of IPython in Ruby; it's one of the tools I miss the most from python.

#10Fantastic news, IPython deserves it and can't wait what they will deliver next.
