Good news for all Python users on MeeGo Harmattan : the best interactive Python environment, IPython, has its v0.13.1 released !

The QtConsole and Notebook interfaces for IPython v0.13.1 aren't available for MeeGo Harmattan as they have a lot of dependencies not yet packaged for MeeGo Harmattan. Maybe I will have success compiling the IPython Notebook dependencies : Tornado, PyZMQ and ZMQ. Until then, you can install Easy Debian Harmattan with scientific version based on experimental Sulu's Debian wheezy image, which has IPython 0.13, including Notebook and QtConsole interfaces.

The IPython v0.13.1 was packaged in 58s on a Nokia N9 running Harmattan SDK on chroot, see the topic "Compiling & packaging on MeeGo Harmattan device".

The blog post "Scientific Python for computers, tablets and smartphones" shows that MeeGo Harmattan is the only mobile OS with IPython >= 0.11 (Maemo 4 & 5 have IPython 0.10.2). Android, Blackberry OS, iOS, Symbian and Windows Phone don't have IPython at all. Even some desktop OS distributions don't have yet IPython 0.13.1.
