<p>IPython was starting in 2001 by Fernando Perez. IPython as we know it
today grew out of the following three projects:</p>
<ul class="simple">
<li>ipython by Fernando Pérez. I was working on adding
Mathematica-type prompts and a flexible configuration system
(something better than $PYTHONSTARTUP) to the standard Python
interactive interpreter.</li>
<li>IPP by Janko Hauser. Very well organized, great usability. Had
an old help system. IPP was used as the ‘container’ code into
which I added the functionality from ipython and LazyPython.</li>
<li>LazyPython by Nathan Gray. Simple but very powerful. The quick
syntax (auto parens, auto quotes) and verbose/colored tracebacks
were all taken from here.</li>
</ul>
<p>Here is how Fernando describes it:</p>
<blockquote>
When I found out about IPP and LazyPython I tried to join all three
into a unified system. I thought this could provide a very nice
working environment, both for regular programming and scientific
computing: shell-like features, IDL/Matlab numerics, Mathematica-type
prompt history and great object introspection and help facilities. I
think it worked reasonably well, though it was a lot more work than I
had initially planned.</blockquote>
