A note on iPython

In iPython, there is an Input/output caching system that offers numbered prompts (In/Out). All input is saved and can be retrieved as variables (besides the usual arrow key recall).

  The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
  _i: stores previous input.
  _ii: next previous.
  _iii: next-next previous.
  _ih : a list of all input _ih[n] is the input from line n.

Anywhere in code, don't use these variables, otherwise it would make very messy situation while debugging the code.
