[4.Feb.2016]: iPython is now jupyter: http://ipython.org/

to install jupyter (on MacOSX): see documentation : here http://jupyter.readthedocs.org/en/latest/install.html
- install anaconda from http://www.continuum.io/downloads#_macosx
- reboot mac
- in terminal: conda install jupyter
start iPython/Jupyter:
- in terminal jupyter notebook
note, there are also additional jupyter kernels for other languages such as IDL, PhP, Javascript, Scilab, http://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/IPython-kernels-for-other-languages

Btw. after starting I got an UTF-8 error when calling pandas, i.e.

jupyter ValueError: unknown locale: UTF-8

The key was here to enter in the console the following lines:

export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8

for installing iPython see here: http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/2/install/install.html
start iPython notebook, run in a normal terminal

ipython notebook --pylab inline
for the command line version on Ubuntu go to the menu and start development>ipython
run the code with <shift+enter>
updating pandas (I had 0.7 installed but needed 0.9 for doing some str ops) simply type sudo pip install --upgrade pandas
