 Package iep

IEP (pronounced as 'eep') is a cross-platform Python IDE focused on
interactivity and introspection, which makes it very suitable for
scientific computing. Its practical design is aimed at simplicity and
efficiency.

IEP is written in Python 3 and Qt. Binaries are available for Windows,
Linux, and Mac. For questions, there is a discussion group.

Two components + tools
----------------------

IEP consists of two main components, the editor and the shell, and uses
a set of pluggable tools to help the programmer in various ways. Some
example tools are source structure, project manager, interactive help,
and workspace.

Some key features
-----------------

  * Powerful *introspection* (autocompletion, calltips, interactive help)
  * Allows various ways to *run code interactively* or to run a file as a
    script.
  * The shells runs in a *subprocess* and can therefore be interrupted or
    killed.
  * *Multiple shells* can be used at the same time, and can be of different
    Python versions (from v2.4 to 3.x, including pypy)
  * Support for using several *GUI toolkits* interactively: PySide, PyQt4,
    wx, fltk, GTK, Tk.
  * Run IPython shell or native shell.
  * *Full Unicode support* in both editor and shell.
  * Various handy *tools*, plus the ability to make your own.
  * Matlab-style *cell notation* to mark code sections (by starting a line
    with '##').
  * Highly customizable.
