+IPython is a multiplatform, Free Software project (BSD licensed) that offers:
+
+* An enhanced Python shell designed for efficient interactive work. It includes
+ many enhancements over the default Python shell, including the ability for
+ controlling interactively all major GUI toolkits in a non-blocking manner.
+* A library to build customized interactive environments using Python as the
+ basic language (but with the possibility of having extended or alternate
+ syntaxes).
+* A system for interactive distributed and parallel computing (this is part of
+ IPython's new development). \ No newline at end of file
