Note

This documentation is for a development version of IPython. There may be significant differences from the latest stable release (1.2.1).

IPython developer’s guide

This are two categories of developer focused documentation:

1. Documentation for developers of IPython itself.
2. Documentation for developers of third party tools and libraries that use IPython.

This part of our documentation only contains information in the second category.

Developers interested in working on IPython itself should consult our developer information on the IPython GitHub wiki.
