=============== | ||||
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. | ||||
