AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on an issue with accessing the IPython Shell after installation on Python 2.7.2. The user is unable to launch IPython by typing "Ipython" in the command prompt. A suggested solution involves checking the system's PATH variable by opening a DOS Command Prompt and typing 'set' to see if the IPython directory is included. If it is not listed, the user is advised to add the IPython directory or its /bin directory to the PATH through the System Properties under the Advanced tab and Environment Variables.

This might be a silly question.

I installed Ipython on my Python 2.7.2 but I can't seem to find the Ipython Shell. I tried typing "Ipython" in the command prompt but it wouldn't work.

Thanks!

Open a DOS Command Prompt window and type the word 'set'. Look at the path variable. Is your Ipython directory (and/or its /bin directory) listed there? If not, then try adding it to your PATH through the System Properties -> Advanced tab -> Environment Variables.

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Project Documentation'

Trying to package up a small bank account manager project that I have been tempering on for a while. One that is certainly worth something to me. Although I have created methods to whip up quick documents with all fields and properties. I would like something better to reference in order to express the mechanical functions. It is unclear to me about any standardized format for code documentation that exists. I have tried object orientated diagrams with shapes to try and express the...
