IPython Notebook, an interactive, browser-based tool for developing in Python, has become the de facto standard for creating and sharing code. We'll be using it throughout this book. The Python library that we're about to install—Rodeo—is an alternative you can use. The difference between IPython Notebook and Rodeo is that Rodeo has a built-in functionality to view data in a Pandas data frame, a functionality that can come in handy when you want to view, real-time, the changes that you are making to your data. Having said that, IPython Notebook is the current standard.
Regardless of the operating system, you install Rodeo with the following command:
pip install rodeo
That's all there is to it!
