Jupyter is an offshoot of the IPython project, which aims to create a better interactive mode for Python. While Jupyter incorporates IPython, it's still available as a standalone program.

Add-on to Jupyter Notebooks enables a literate Python development style that gives you high-quality documentation, tests, continuous integration, and packaging for free.
