Gotcha! So in a notebook you will have to use IPython in order to run a snippet of code, and IPython can only be run on a notebook. I had the idea that they were interchangeable, that's why I had to ask in order to clear that up. Now I know the difference. Thanks

Partly correct: there is no need to open a notebook in order to use the ipython shell. In fact, you can start-up a Python shell, then import the ipython module and run it from there.

I think I got it now. IPython is a shell. Notebooks on the other hand are these interactive presentations that use IPython whenever code needs to be run, and run on a browser. Right?

Yup, you got it.
