IPython Notebook VS bpython

I would like to use an IPython notebook as a way to interactively analyze some genome charts I am making with Biopython's GenomeDiagram module. While there is extensive documentation on how to use matplotlib to get graphs inline in IPython notebook, GenomeDiagram uses the ReportLab toolkit which I don't think is supported for inline graphing in IPython.

Tools like Jupyter Notebook are very well known and useful, although limited to a few languages. Wouldn't it be amazing to have this power to create notebooks with any other language? - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

Yeah, mostly I lack time to catch up with Jonathan Slenders works, and have stronger backward compatibility requirements. b=But ptpython and pyipython are both great. I should also look into Rich and Textual https://bpython-interpreter.org/ is also another alternative python shell, and of course https://xon.sh. - Source: Hacker News / over 2 years ago

Python comes with IDLE as /usr/bin/idle but it doesn't have a corresponding .desktop file that would let it appear in the application menu. Otherwise, /usr/bin/python has an interactive mode and bpython is a wrapper around that interactive mode that has like syntax highlighting, indenting, undo, etc. Source: over 2 years ago
