  Description     : An enhanced interactive Python shell

IPython is an enhanced interactive Python shell.  It can be used as a
replacement for the standard Python shell, or it can be used as a
complete working environment for scientific computing (like Matlab or
Mathematica) when paired with the standard Python scientific and
numerical tools.  It supports dynamic object introspections, numbered
input/output prompts, a macro system, session logging, session
restoring, complete system shell access, verbose and colored
traceback reports, auto-parentheses, auto-quoting, and is embeddedable 
in other Python programs.

I've already prepared a preliminary package.  It is available at:

deb http://i.cantcode.com/~jack/debian/ unstable main contrib
