http://www.super-cooper.com Python, GIS, and a sprinkling of mindless drivel from Chad Cooper Sat, 21 Aug 2010 20:22:37 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0 http://www.super-cooper.com/archive/2008/03/16/ipython-first-thoughts/ http://www.super-cooper.com/archive/2008/03/16/ipython-first-thoughts/#comments Sun, 16 Mar 2008 14:45:56 +0000 Chad http://super-cooper.com/2008/03/16/ipython-first-thoughts/ After I got back from the ESRI PUG a few weeks ago, I installed and started playing around with IPython. I gave a talk at the PUG, and afterwards met a guy who told me I had to try it. Boy was he right. IPython is worth its weight in gold just on the surface for its color-coding of text and history access (hit the up arrow key to get the previous commands, like at the DOS prompt). Another gem is that you can CTRL-C code from your editor and CTRL-V it into the IPython prompt – nice. I plan on playing around with this some more, and need to install it on my Mac as well – after the impending Leopard upgrade I need to do.
