IPython 4.0 → Jupyter

IPython 4.0 is out, or in other words, everything is now “Jupyter.” The devs wrote a blog post on it:

Main points

  • It’s now jupyter notebook
  • Configs are now in ~/.jupyter
  • The Jupyter transition split the ipython package into sub packages that can be installed independently. pip install jupyter installs a metapackage that installs all the Jupyter packages.
  • pip install ipython only gets you the command line terminal binary.
