IPython is mainly developed by Fernando Pérez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>, but the project was born from mixing in Fernando's code with the IPP project by Janko Hauser <jhauser-AT-zscout.de> and LazyPython by Nathan Gray <n8gray-AT-caltech.edu>. For all IPython-related requests, please contact Fernando.

As of early 2006, the following developers have joined the core team:

User or development help should be requested via the IPython mailing lists:

The IPython project is also very grateful to7:

Bill Bumgarner <bbum-AT-friday.com>: for providing the DPyGetOpt module which gives very powerful and convenient handling of command-line options (light years ahead of what Python 2.1.1's getopt module does).

Ka-Ping Yee <ping-AT-lfw.org>: for providing the Itpl module for convenient and powerful string interpolation with a much nicer syntax than formatting through the '%' operator.

Arnd Baecker <baecker-AT-physik.tu-dresden.de>: for his many very useful suggestions and comments, and lots of help with testing and documentation checking. Many of IPython's newer features are a result of discussions with him (bugs are still my fault, not his).

Obviously Guido van Rossum and the whole Python development team, that goes without saying.

IPython's website is generously hosted at http://ipython.scipy.org by Enthought (http://www.enthought.com). I am very grateful to them and all of the SciPy team for their contribution.

Fernando would also like to thank Stephen Figgins <fig-AT-monitor.net>, an O'Reilly Python editor. His Oct/11/2001 article about IPP and LazyPython, was what got this project started. You can read it at: http://www.onlamp.com/pub/a/python/2001/10/11/pythonnews.html.

And last but not least, all the kind IPython users who have emailed new code, bug reports, fixes, comments and ideas. A brief list follows, please let me know if I have ommitted your name by accident:
