-{{{ Show the slide containing title }}}
-
-Hello Friends and Welcome to the tutorial on getting started with
-``ipython``.
-
-{{{ Show slide with outline }}}
-
-This tutorial will cover the basic usage of the ``ipython``
-interpreter. The following topics would be covered.
-
-IPython is an enhanced Python interpreter that provides features like
-tabcompletion, easier access to help and lot of other functionality
-which are not available in the vanilla Python interpreter.
-
-First let us see how to invoke the ``ipython`` interpreter.
-
-We type
-::
-
- ipython
-
-at the terminal prompt to invoke the ipython interpreter.
-
-We get a prompt with ``In [1]:`` after getting some information about
-the version of Python installed and some help commands.
-
-If you get an error saying something like ``ipython is not
-installed``, refer to the tutorial on how to install the packages
-required for this course.
-
-Now, to quit the ipython interpreter, type Ctrl-D. You are prompted
-asking if you really want to exit, type y to say yes and quit ipython.
-
-Start ipython again, as you did before.
-
-The prompt that you have says ``In [1]``. ``In`` stands for input and the
-ipython interpreter is ready to accept input from you.
-
-Now let us see, how we can type some commands into the interpreter.
-
-Start with the simplest thing, addition.
-
-Let's type
-::
- 1+2
-
-at the prompt. IPython promptly gives back the output as 3. Notice
-that the output is displayed with an ``Out[1]`` indication.
-
-.. #[[Anoop: I think we can illustrate In [] and Out[] in slides]]
-.. #[[Puneeth: I think we can do that on the terminal?]]
-
-Let's try out few other mathematical operations.
-::
-
- 5 - 3
- 7 - 4
- 6 * 5
-
-Now let's ``print 1+2``. Instead of typing the whole thing, we make
-use of the fact that IPython remembers the history of the commands
-that you have already used. We use the up arrow key to go back the
-command ``1+2``. We then use the left-arrow key to navigate to the
-beginning of the line and add the word ``print`` and a space. Then hit
-enter and observe that the interpreter prints out the value as 3,
-without the Out[] indication.
-
-Now, let's change the previous command ``print 1+2`` to ``print
-10*2``. We use the up arrow again to navigate to the previous command
-and use the left arrow key to move the cursor on to the + symbol and
-then use the delete key to remove it and type 0 and * to change the
-expression as required. We hit enter to see the output of
-``print``.
-
-Now, let's say we want to use the function ``round``. We type ``ro``
-at the prompt and hit the tab key. As you can see, IPython
-completes the command. This feature is called the tab-completion.
-
-Now, we remove all the characters and just type ``r`` and then hit
-tab. IPython does not complete the command since there are many
-possibilities. It just lists out all the possible completions.
-
-Following is an exercise that you must do.
-
-%%1%% Type ``ab`` and hit tab to see what happens. Next, just type
-``a`` and hit tab to see what happens.
-
-Please, pause the video here. Do the exercise and then continue.
-
-``ab`` tab completes to ``abs`` and ``a<tab>`` gives us a list of all
-the commands starting with a.
-
-Now, let's see what these functions are used for. We will use the
-help features of ipython to find this out.
-
-.. #[[Anoop: Another slide which says about ? mark and round? etc, as
- few people cannot just follow by listening (like me) :)]]
-
-.. #[Punch: These things are shown on the terminal. I feel we don't
-.. need slide, here I guess.]
-
-To get the help of any function, we first type the function, ``abs``
-in our case and then add a ? at the end and hit enter.
-
-As the documentation says, ``abs`` accepts a number as an input and
-returns it's absolute value.
-
-We say,
-::
-
- abs(-19)
-
- abs(19)
-
-We get 19, as expected, in both the cases.
-
-Does it work for decimals (or floats)? Let's try typing abs(-10.5)
-and we do get back 10.5.
-
-Following is an exercise that you must do.
-
-%%2%% Look-up the documentation of ``round`` and see how to use it.
-
-Please, pause the video here. Do the exercise and then continue.
-
-::
-
- round?
-
-If you notice, there are extra square brackets around the ``ndigits``.
-This means that ``ndigits`` is optional and 0 is the default value.
-Optional parameters are shown in square brackets anywhere in Python
-documentation.
-
-The function ``round``, rounds a number to a given precision.
-
-Following are exercises that you must do.
-
-%%3%% Check the output of::
-
- round(2.48)
- round(2.48, 1)
- round(2.48, 2)
-
- round(2.484)
- round(2.484, 1)
- round(2.484, 2)
-
-Please, pause the video here. Do the exercises and then continue.
-
-We get 2.0, 2.5 and 2.48, which are what we expect.
-
-Let's now see how to correct typing errors that we make while typing at
-the terminal. As already shown, if we haven't hit the enter key
-already, we could navigate using the arrow keys and make deletions
-using delete or backspace key and correct the errors.
-
-Let's now type round(2.484 and hit enter, without closing the
-parenthesis. We get a prompt with dots. This prompt is the
-continuation prompt of ``ipython``. It appears, the previous line is
-incomplete in some way. We now complete the command by typing, the
-closing parenthesis and hitting enter. We get the expected output of
-2.5.
-
-In other instances, if we commit a typing error with a longer and more
-complex expression and end up with the continuation prompt, we can
-type Ctrl-C to interrupt the command and get back the ``ipython`` input
-prompt.
-
-Following is an exercise that you must do.
-
-%%4%% Try typing round(2.484, and hit enter. and then cancel the
-command using Ctrl-C. Then, type the command, round(2.484, 2) and
-resume the video.
-
-Please, pause the video here. Do the exercises and then continue.
-
-::
-
- round(2.484
- ^C
-
- round(2.484, 2)
-
-This brings us to the end of the tutorial on getting started with
-``ipython``.
-
-.. #[[Anoop: add slides for interrupts, navigating history, I feel
- even a single point will also do]]
-
-.. #[Puneeth: I don't feel these things cannot be shown on a slide.]
-
-In this tutorial we have learnt, how to
-{{{ show the outline/summary slide. }}}
-
- 1. invoke the ``ipython`` interpreter.
- #. quit the ``ipython`` interpreter.
- #. navigate in the history of ``ipython``.
- #. use tab-completion.
- #. look-up documentation of functions.
- #. interrupt incomplete or incorrect commands.
-

-
-Hope you have enjoyed and found it useful.
-Thank you!
