Hello list,

what is the best way to use ipython, numpy, matplotlib, and scipy together?

I start ipython using

ipython --pylab

in order to get an interactive matplotlib and pull numpy and matplotlib 
functions to the workspace. But some functions like fft, ifft, ... are 
reimplemented in scipy. I have read, that it is proposed to use

from scipy import *

for interactive shells. How does this interefere with --pylab?

Thank you for you advice.
Wolfgang
