ptpython

What may be a lesser known console-based Python REPL is ptpython, designed by Jonathan Slenders. It exists only in the console and is an independent project by him. You can find it on GitHub. It has lightweight features, yet it also includes syntax highlighting, autocompletion, and even IPython. It can be installed with the following command:

pip install ptpython
  

That concludes our discussion on alternatives to the Jupyter Notebooks.
