| =============== | ||||
| IPython plugins | ||||
| =============== | ||||
| IPython has a plugin mechanism that allows users to create new and custom | ||||
| runtime components for IPython. Plugins are different from extensions: | ||||
| * Extensions are used to load plugins. | ||||
| * Extensions are a more advanced configuration system that gives you access | ||||
| to the running IPython instance. | ||||
| * Plugins add entirely new capabilities to IPython. | ||||
| * Plugins are traited and configurable. | ||||
| At this point, our plugin system is brand new and the documentation is | ||||
| minimal. If you are interested in creating a new plugin, see the following | ||||
| files: | ||||
| * :file:`IPython/extensions/parallemagic.py` | ||||
| * :file:`IPython/extensions/pretty.` | ||||
| As well as our documentation on the configuration system and extensions. | ||||
