I want to play around with matplotlib plots. The official matplotlib site strongly recommends using ipython instead of the regular python interpreter. I installed ipython myself. From the terminal ipython is run.
But I can't add it to PyCharm. Writes "The selected file is not a valid home for Python SDK" Tried to select "/usr/bin/ipython2.7" and "/usr/local/bin/ipython" in the path to the interpreter. I can't understand anything. Can you help?

ipython is not an interpreter, but an interactive shell over it.
They cannot replace python
And yes - it is convenient for graphs and in general it is part of SciPy. Look also towards ipython notebook.
