-*This is a straight port of [[https://github.com/shg/julia-vterm.el][julia-vterm.el]].* I only modified the code slightly to deal correctly with python environments

+This is a port of [[https://github.com/shg/julia-vterm.el][julia-vterm.el]] with some modification to deal with
+python (virtual) environments and play nicely with =ipython= and the
+like.
+
+Some advantages over the built-in python interaction is the ability to
+run ~ipython~ with it's fancy prompt and make use of ~spyder~-like code
+cells (see below) or running the current function.
