Impossible to scroll Ipython (not notebook!) while producing output within tmux window

Question

I have been trying to scroll the output of a script run via Ipython in a separate window/session created by tmux (off notebook, meaning that I am not using Ipython notebook as usual: I am just using Ipython). I see that, while the program is loading the output, I can’t scroll the window to see what has been published before, and can just visualize the latest results produced. Honestly, this problem comes totally unexpected because I usually use a notebook and have never encountered a similar issue. Could you help me please? Thanks in advance

I finally found the answer to my problem right here https://superuser.com/questions/209437/how-do-i-scroll-in-tmux , it did not depend on Ipython but on tmux as I was suspecting. To scroll on tmux press ctrl+b and then [, so that you can enter the copy mode, and then use arrows or page up/down to scroll through the window, then press ctrl+c or Esc to quit the copy mode after finishing the desired scroll
