[Chicago] Any talks this week from DSSG people?

[Pete[r] Landwehr]

There are actually _two_ types of iPython:

* The ipython interpreter, which is basically a _much_ smarter version
of the standard python interpreter. I was a skeptic for a long time
but it's definitely worth a whirl.

* iPython notebook, which is the fancy-dancy website/magic cell combo.
It's very useful for building presentations out of your workflows,
though if you have to constantly rerun the cells to fix a bug in code
from an outside module it'll make your eyes bleed.
