[Chicago] Anaconda vs. IDLE.

[Pete[r] Landwehr]

In addition to Spyder, but more in the vein of IDLE, there's the QT console
for iPython, which is similar to running ipython directly in the terminal
but adds mouse support and some other extra jazz; you can start it with
"ipython qtconsole". (See
https://ipython.org/ipython-doc/2/interactive/qtconsole.html)
