Is IPython same as Jupyter?
IPython has now only two roles to fulfill: being the Python backend to the Jupyter Notebook, which is also known as the kernel, and an interactive Python shell. But this is not all: within the IPython ecosystem, you’ll also find a parallel computing framework. You’ll read more about this later on!

So JupyterLab feels more like an IDE; in Notebook notebooks, it feels more standalone. All the files are opened as different tabs in your webbrowser. It depends on you what you prefer more.
What is IPython library?
Website. ipython.org. IPython (Interactive Python) is a command shell for interactive computing in multiple programming languages, originally developed for the Python programming language, that offers introspection, rich media, shell syntax, tab completion, and history.
Why you should not use Jupyter notebook?
Jupyter notebooks implicitly discourage this, because they’re not designed to be modularized (awkward hacks do allow you to import one notebook into another, but they’re, well, awkward). What’s more, to reproduce another person’s results, you need to first reproduce the environment in which their code was run.
What is IPython and Jupyter notebook?
(Formerly known as the IPython Notebook) The IPython Notebook is now known as the Jupyter Notebook. It is an interactive computational environment, in which you can combine code execution, rich text, mathematics, plots and rich media. For more details on the Jupyter Notebook, please see the Jupyter website.
Which Python does IPython use?
