The combination of editor, debugger and interpreter is what I miss
most from Matlab. In Matlab we can have a function or script open in
an editor, and use it directly from the interpreter. No need to
reimport or anything: edit and invoke. It is also possible to paste
data directly from the clipboard into variables in the interpreter.

ipython does not have that annoying >>> prompt.
