1.1.7 Getting help

Here are some tips on how to use IPython:

  • To get help on an object, just type ? after the object's name and then press the Return key.
  • Use the arrow keys to reuse the last executed commands.
  • You may use the Tab key for completion (that is, you write the first letter of a variable or method and IPython shows you a menu with all the possible completions).
  • Use Ctrl+D to quit.
  • Use IPython's magic functions. You can find a list and explanations by applying %magic on the command prompt.

You can find out more about IPython in its online documentation.
