IPython already makes for a pretty good bash/zsh/etc replacement for many things. You can get a GUI using the IPython notebooks as well. While I haven't made the switch completely yet, I always keep an IPython session around in an extra tab, since it is very often just much simpler to do something there than in bash.


>I always keep an IPython session around in an extra tab

By "tab" you mean tab in your web browser; do you not? (I ask because there are non-web-based IPython thingies.)


I actually meant a terminal tab (I'm using Tilda as terminal emulator). I'm only really using the web-based notebook interface when I need to display graphics for something.


I am very glad I asked :)
