After working in IPython for a while, sometimes you’d like to use a variable you created way back at the beginning, but you don’t remember exactly what it was called. Here are some useful commands for working with variables in IPython.

who show contents of workspace
who int show integers in workspace
whos show details of workspace contents
whos int show details of integers in workspace
psearch msg* search for objects in the workspace starting with msg
