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?
It does nothing that you want. "from scipy import *" does not import anything from its subpackages. Just pretend that it doesn't exist. It exists only for backwards compatibility. -- Robert Kern "I have come to believe that the whole world is an enigma, a harmless enigma that is made terrible by our own mad attempt to interpret it as though it had an underlying truth." -- Umberto Eco
