IPython workflow (edit, run)

Question

Is there a GUI for IPython that allows me to open/run/edit Python files? My way of working in IDLE is to have two windows open: the shell and a .py file. I edit the .py file

Answer 1

I want to suggest excellent plugin for vim that makes two-way integration between Vim and IPython: vim-ipython.

From project page on http://github.com/ivanov/vim-ipython:

Using this plugin, you can send lines or whole files for IPython to execute, and also get back object introspection and word completions in Vim, like what you get with: object? and object. in IPython.

This plugin has one big limitation: it doesn't support python 3 (it's planned).
