Automatically import or install modules when they're needed in IPython

In plain words

This tool automatically imports or installs Python modules in IPython when they're needed, eliminating manual import statements. It's designed for IPython users who want a more streamlined interactive computing experience. The tool detects when code references an unavailable module and handles the import or installation automatically, reducing friction during exploratory work and interactive sessions.
