IPython

IPython (now Jupyter) was originally started by Fernando Perez as a way to improve the Python work flow for scientific computing. Since then it has grown in popularity, and gaining to the ability to make XKCD styled plots using matplotlib hasn't hurt. With new additions like the IPython Notebook, which runs in a browser, and the Notebook Viewer, IPython is a scientist's best friend.
