| 1 | +IPython provides a rich toolkit to help you make the most out of using Python, |
| 2 | +with: |
| 3 | + |
| 4 | +- Powerful Python shells (terminal and Qt-based). |
| 5 | +- A web-based notebook with the same core features but support for code, text, |
| 6 | + mathematical expressions, inline plots and other rich media. |
| 7 | +- Support for interactive data visualization and use of GUI toolkits. |
| 8 | +- Flexible, embeddable interpreters to load into your own projects. |
| 9 | +- Easy to use, high performance tools for parallel computing. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +To learn more about IPython, you can watch our :ref:`videos and screencasts |
| 12 | +<videos>`, download our `talks and presentations <presentation.html>`_, or read |
| 13 | +our `extensive documentation <documentation.html>`_. IPython is open source |
| 14 | +(BSD license), and is used by a range of `other projects |
| 15 | +<http://wiki.ipython.org/Projects_using_IPython>`_; add your project to that |
| 16 | +list if it uses IPython as a library, and please don't forget to :ref:`cite the |
| 17 | +project <citing>`. |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +IPython supports Python 2.6 to 2.7 and 3.1 or newer. Our older 0.10 series |
| 20 | +supports Python 2.5, and can be used with Python 2.4. |

| 64 | +Citing IPython |
| 65 | +============== |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Several of the authors of IPython are connected with academic and scientific |
| 68 | +research, so it is important for us to be able to show the impact of our work |
| 69 | +in other projects and fields. |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +If IPython contributes to a project that leads to a scientific publication, |
| 72 | +please acknowledge this fact by citing the project. You can use this |
| 73 | +`ready-made citation entry <citing.html>`_. |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | + |
