Comment on Change current working directory from inside the Python interpreter by Evan Jones

iPython makes my life much happier. It’s worth spending some time with:

– method tab-completion
– run shell commands (’ls’, ‘cd xxx’, etc) from the interpreter
– drop into your editor whenever you want to refine code interactively
– easily save and reuse a session, so if you did a bunch of fancy stuff in the interpreter you can automatically put that in a file.
– automatically drop into a debugger when something goes wrong.
– Yay!
