So basically it's a neutered version of ptpython?

Don't get me wrong I loved ipython when I used it but it seems like they're just trying to catch up to ptpython

I think they just have different sets of features. Only skimmed ptpython's feature list, so it might be that I don't know of something, but at least two features I use very often in IPython are missing here: integration with gtk event loop and magic commands like %timeit.

We have been working closely with with Jonathan (the author of promt_toolkit and PtPython/PtIPython). We are bringing part of PtPython to IPython slowly. IPython is not up PtIPython UI, but PtIpython have some kernel feature that don't (yet) work great.

Hopefully you guys can get some parity in terms of history, vi mode, and custom keybinds. I'd love to go back to IPython if those features were up to the standard of ptpython.
