As comented in previous posts, Python is an exelent interpretive programming language with a powerful object-oriented approach and modular integration capabilities. Inspired by this, Fernando Perez bagan working on IPython since 2001, an enhanced interactive Python shell with improvements such as history caching, profiles, object information, session logging, and tab completion, as an evolve alternative for the default interpreter.
Evaluation or Quality Assurance of FlOSS projects is a must with greater demand every day. It is critical to have tools handling the processes of data analysis and visualization, and there are handful of third-party Python packages that are suitable for this purpose. Including packages like matplotlib, Chaco, PyX or Bokeh, IPython is able to provide powerful visual representations of data, which allows better understanding.
It is possible to generate scientific plots, bars, histograms, trellis, boxplots and scatterplots, which are different ways for low and high level data visualization. Also there is IPython Notebook, a web-based interactive computational environment where you can combine code execution, text, mathematics, plots and rich media into a single document online.
