Just give it a try (http://ipython.scipy.org/moin/)
I don't think you will ever look back the regular Python interpreter. (When
I first start with Python, I only use it for about less than a day :)
This page is very explanatory of what IPython is capable of
http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/stable/html/overview.html
This is a great audio-visual tutorial about IPython by Jeff Rush
A Demonstration of the 'IPython' Interactive
Shell<http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=2025411588241625522>
and finally I recommend you to watch some of the SciPy09 videos to see how
other people using IPython interactively. Since we are corresponding under
matplotlib roof, wouldn't be fair it don't suggest you to watch John
Hunter's Advanced topics in
matplotlib<http://www.archive.org/details/scipy09_advancedTutorialDay1_3>tutorial.
