I'd also like to recommend IPython and the notebook is added, it's a commonly used notebook for working with python, similar to knitr & R. These are important for enabling reproducible research.

Thanks Ben, the license seems perfect: "IPython is open source (BSD license)" (from the website). Now I am checking the software (videos and slides).

Good news: Ipython seems to be already in Debian repos, so it would be easy to integrate it in ArcheOS. There is also the version IPython3. I instaled the software (IPython3) in ArcheOS 5 form repos and it runs without problems, but I am not familiar with it. Ben, could you write/show something about the an archaeological use of this application? If you want I can give you an access in ATOR (http://arc-team-open-research.blogspot.it/), so you can start to write a bout the software and later we can use your articles/post for ArcheOS documentation. what do you think about it?

Honestly I don't use it - I use R, RStudio, pandoc, and the knitr package. IPython is the equivalent tool for Python users. I'm not really sure what is more popular amongst archaeologists, R or Python, what do you think?
