IPython/frontend/prefilterfrontend.py

"""
Frontend class that uses IPython0 to prefilter the inputs.

Using the IPython0 mechanism gives us access to the magics.

This is a transitory class, used here to do the transition between
ipython0 and ipython1. This class is meant to be short-lived as more
functionnality is abstracted out of ipython0 in reusable functions and
is added on the interpreter. This class can be a used to guide this
refactoring.
