Let me introduce my package [IPython.jl](https://github.com/tkf/IPython.jl). It let you drop into [IPython](https://ipython.readthedocs.io) session from Julia REPL with the help of [PyCall](https://github.com/JuliaPy/PyCall.jl). Here is an example session:

 ![Example REPL session](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/julialang/original/3X/4/0/404619cd376175642f7de6b818e2485daf9f9388.png)

It’s already registered so you can install it by:

```julia
(v1.0) pkg> add IPython

julia> Pkg.add("IPython") # in Julia 0.6

```

It actually has been around for some months but it was a bit tricky to use until IPython 7.0 was released recently.

I think you would find it useful if you are using PyCall ecosystem. And yes, it integrates nicely with [PyJulia](https://discourse.julialang.org/t/ann-pyjulia-0-2-is-released-with-julia-1-0-support/17227).
