[Python-ideas] A better interactive prompt

[Tim Mitchell]

Mark,
Windows folk do not type

pip install ipython

On windows it's much easier:

1) install pycharm (because it has UI for installing packages)
2) Go to settings > project interpreter
3) select the python interpeter you want to use
4) click the + button
5) search through the entire pypi listing for IPython
6) click install package

(Off topic I know - but I couldn't resist!)
