 Overview
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 One of Python's most useful features is its interactive interpreter.
  This system allows very fast testing of ideas without the overhead of creating
  test files as is typical in most programming languages.
  However, the interpreter supplied with the standard Python distribution
  is somewhat limited for extended interactive use.

  It tries to be a very efficient environment both for Python code development
  and for exploration of problems using Python objects (in situations like
  data analysis).
-\layout Enumerate
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Enumerate
 Serve as an embeddable, ready to use interpreter for your own programs.
  IPython can be started with a single call from inside another program,
  providing access to the current namespace.
  This can be very useful both for debugging purposes and for situations
  where a blend of batch-processing and interactive exploration are needed.
-\layout Enumerate

+\begin_layout Enumerate
 Offer a flexible framework which can be used as the base environment for

  Specifically scientific environments like Mathematica, IDL and Matlab inspired
  its design, but similar ideas can be useful in many fields.
-\layout Enumerate

+\begin_layout Enumerate

  IPython has support for interactive, non-blocking control of GTK, Qt and
  WX applications via special threading flags.
  The normal Python shell can only do this for Tkinter applications.

 Main features
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Dynamic object introspection.
  One can access docstrings, function definition prototypes, source code,
  source files and other details of any object accessible to the interpreter
  with a single keystroke (`
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 ?
-\family default 
+\family default
 ', and using `
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %psearch
-\family default 
+\family default
  command.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Completion in the local namespace, by typing TAB at the prompt.
  This works for keywords, methods, variables and files in the current directory.
  This is supported via the readline library, and full access to configuring
  readline's behavior is provided.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Numbered input/output prompts with command history (persistent across sessions
  and tied to each profile), full searching in this history and caching of
  all input and output.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 User-extensible `magic' commands.
  A set of commands prefixed with 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %
-\family default 
+\family default
  is available for controlling IPython itself and provides directory control,
  namespace information and many aliases to common system shell commands.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Alias facility for defining your own system aliases.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Complete system shell access.
  Lines starting with ! are passed directly to the system shell, and using
  !! captures shell output into python variables for further use.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Background execution of Python commands in a separate thread.
  IPython has an internal job manager called 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 jobs
-\family default 
+\family default
 , and a conveninence backgrounding magic function called 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %bg
-\family default 
+\family default
 .
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 The ability to expand python variables when calling the system shell.
  In a shell command, any python variable prefixed with 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 $
-\family default 
+\family default
  is expanded.
  A double 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 $$
-\family default

+\begin_layout Itemize
 Filesystem navigation, via a magic 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %cd
-\family default 
+\family default
  command, along with a persistent bookmark system (using 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %bookmark

-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 A lightweight persistence framework via the 
-\family typewriter

  These get restored automatically when your session restarts.
-\layout Itemize

 Automatic indentation (optional) of code as you type (through the readline
  library).
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Macro system for quickly re-executing multiple lines of previous input with
  a single name.
  Macros can be stored persistently via 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %store
-\family default 
+\family default
  and edited via 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %edit
-\family default 
+\family default

-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Session logging (you can then later use these logs as code in your programs).
  Logs can optionally timestamp all input, and also store session output
  (marked as comments, so the log remains valid Python source code).
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Session restoring: logs can be replayed to restore a previous session to
  the state where you left it.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Verbose and colored exception traceback printouts.
  Easier to parse visually, and in verbose mode they produce a lot of useful
  debugging information (basically a terminal version of the cgitb module).
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Auto-parentheses: callable objects can be executed without parentheses:
  
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Extensible input syntax.
  You can define filters that pre-process user input to simplify input in
  special situations.
  This allows for example pasting multi-line code fragments which start with
  
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `>>>'
-\family default 
+\family default
  or 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `...'
-\family default 
+\family default
  such as those from other python sessions or the standard Python documentation.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Flexible configuration system.
  It uses a configuration file which allows permanent setting of all command-line
  options, module loading, code and file execution.
  The system allows recursive file inclusion, so you can have a base file
  with defaults and layers which load other customizations for particular
  projects.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Embeddable.
  You can call IPython as a python shell inside your own python programs.
  This can be used both for debugging code or for providing interactive abilities
  to your programs with knowledge about the local namespaces (very useful
  in debugging and data analysis situations).
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Easy debugger access.
  You can set IPython to call up an enhanced version of the Python debugger
  (
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 pdb
-\family default 
+\family default
 ) every time there is an uncaught exception.
  This drops you inside the code which triggered the exception with all the
  data live and it is possible to navigate the stack to rapidly isolate the
  source of a bug.
  The 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %run
-\family default 
+\family default
  magic command --with the 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 -d
-\family default 
+\family default
  option-- can run any script under 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 pdb
-\family default 
+\family default
 's control, automatically setting initial breakpoints for you.
  This version of 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 pdb
-\family default 
+\family default
  has IPython-specific improvements, including tab-completion and traceback
  coloring support.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 Profiler support.
  You can run single statements (similar to 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 profile.run()
-\family default 
+\family default
 ) or complete programs under the profiler's control.
  While this is possible with standard 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 cProfile
-\family default 
+\family default
  or 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 profile
-\family default 
+\family default
  modules, IPython wraps this functionality with magic commands (see 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `%prun'
-\family default 
+\family default
  and 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `%run -p
-\family default

 Mac OSX information
-\layout Standard

+\begin_layout Standard
 Under OSX, there is a choice you need to make.
  Apple ships its own build of Python, which lives in the core OSX filesystem
  hierarchy.
  You can also manually install a separate Python, either purely by hand
  (typically in 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 /usr/local
-\family default 
+\family default
 ) or by using Fink, which puts everything under 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 /sw
-\family default 
+\family default
 .
  Which route to follow is a matter of personal preference, as I've seen
  users who favor each of the approaches.
  Here I will simply list the known installation issues under OSX, along
  with their solutions.

 The following instructions apply to an install of IPython under OSX from
  unpacking the 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 .tar.gz
-\family default 
+\family default
  distribution and installing it for the default Python interpreter shipped
  by Apple.
  If you are using a fink install, fink will take care of these details for
  you, by installing IPython against fink's Python.

 IPython offers various forms of support for interacting with graphical applicati
 ons from the command line, from simple Tk apps (which are in principle always
  supported by Python) to interactive control of WX, Qt and GTK apps.
  Under OSX, however, this requires that ipython is installed by calling
  the special 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 pythonw
-\family default 
+\family default
  script at installation time, which takes care of coordinating things with
  Apple's graphical environment.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 So when installing under OSX, it is best to use the following command:
-\family typewriter

 depending on where you like to keep hand-installed executables.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 The resulting script will have an appropriate shebang line (the first line
  in the script whic begins with 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 #!...
-\family default 
+\family default
 ) such that the ipython interpreter can interact with the OS X GUI.
  If the installed version does not work and has a shebang line that points
  to, for example, just 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 /usr/bin/python
-\family default 
+\family default
 , then you might have a stale, cached version in your 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

  directory.
  Delete that directory and rerun the 
-\family typewriter

  as indicated above, to ensure that the ipython scripts end up in a location
  which is part of your 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 $PATH
-\family default 
+\family default

  Otherwise Apple's Python will put the scripts in an internal directory
  not available by default at the command line (if you use

-\family default 
+\family default
 , you need to make sure this is in your

+\begin_layout Standard
 The 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %edit
-\family default 
+\family default
  command (and its alias 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %ed
-\family default 
+\family default
 ) will invoke the editor set in your environment as 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 EDITOR
-\family default 
+\family default
 .
  If this variable is not set, it will default to 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 vi
-\family default 
+\family default
  under Linux/Unix and to 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 notepad
-\family default 
+\family default
  under Windows.
  You may want to set this variable properly and to a lightweight editor
  which doesn't take too long to start (that is, something other than a new
  instance of 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 Emacs
-\family default 
+\family default
 ).
  This way you can edit multi-line code quickly and with the power of a real
  editor right inside IPython.

 If you are a dedicated 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 Emacs
-\family default 
+\family default
  user, you should set up the 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 Emacs
-\family default 
+\family default
  server so that new requests are handled by the original process.
  This means that almost no time is spent in handling the request (assuming
  an 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 Emacs
-\family default 
+\family default
  process is already running).
  For this to work, you need to set your 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 EDITOR 
-\family default 
+\family default
 environment variable to 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 'emacsclient'

 You can test whether the colored prompts and tracebacks work on your system

-\family default 
+\family default
  at the prompt (use '
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

  If the input prompt shows garbage like:
-\newline

-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 [0;32mIn [[1;32m1[0;32m]: [0;00m
-\family default

 instead of (in color) something like:
-\newline 
+\newline
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 In [1]:
-\family default 
+\family default
  
-\newline

 this means that your terminal doesn't properly handle color escape sequences.
  You can go to a 'no color' mode by typing '

  But this system relies on passing information which is longer than your

-\family typewriter

 Source code handling tips
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 IPython is a line-oriented program, without full control of the terminal.
  Therefore, it doesn't support true multiline editing.
  However, it has a number of useful tools to help you in dealing effectively
  with more complex editing.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 The 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %edit
-\family default 
+\family default
  command gives a reasonable approximation of multiline editing, by invoking
  your favorite editor on the spot.
  IPython will execute the code you type in there as if it were typed interactive
 ly.
  Type 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %edit?
-\family default 
+\family default
  for the full details on the edit command.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 If you have typed various commands during a session, which you'd like to
  reuse, IPython provides you with a number of tools.
  Start by using 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %hist
-\family default 
+\family default
  to see your input history, so you can see the line numbers of all input.
  Let us say that you'd like to reuse lines 10 through 20, plus lines 24
  and 28.
  All the commands below can operate on these with the syntax
-\layout LyX-Code
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
 %command 10-20 24 28
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 where the command given can be:
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %macro <macroname>
-\family default 
+\family default
 : this stores the lines into a variable which, when called at the prompt,
  re-executes the input.
  Macros can be edited later using 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `%edit macroname
-\family default 
+\family default
 ', and they can be stored persistently across sessions with `
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %store macroname
-\family default 
+\family default
 ' (the storage system is per-profile).
  The combination of quick macros, persistent storage and editing, allows
  you to easily refine quick-and-dirty interactive input into permanent utilities
 , always available both in IPython and as files for general reuse.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %edit
-\family default 
+\family default
 : this will open a text editor with those lines pre-loaded for further modificat
 ion.
  It will then execute the resulting file's contents as if you had typed
  it at the prompt.
-\layout Itemize
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Itemize
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %save <filename>
-\family default 
+\family default
 : this saves the lines directly to a named file on disk.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 While 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %macro
-\family default 
+\family default
  saves input lines into memory for interactive re-execution, sometimes you'd
  like to save your input directly to a file.
  The 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %save
-\family default 
+\family default
  magic does this: its input sytnax is the same as 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %macro
-\family default 
+\family default
 , but it saves your input directly to a Python file.
  Note that the 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %logstart
-\family default 
+\family default
  command also saves input, but it logs 
-\emph on 
+\emph on
 all
-\emph default 
+\emph default
  input to disk (though you can temporarily suspend it and reactivate it
  with 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %logoff/%logon

-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

 Lightweight 'version control'
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 When you call 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %edit
-\family default 
+\family default
  with no arguments, IPython opens an empty editor with a temporary file,
  and it returns the contents of your editing session as a string variable.
  Thanks to IPython's output caching mechanism, this is automatically stored:
-\layout LyX-Code
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
 In [1]: %edit
-\layout LyX-Code
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
 IPython will make a temporary file named: /tmp/ipython_edit_yR-HCN.py
-\layout LyX-Code
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
 Editing...
  done.
  Executing edited code...
-\layout LyX-Code
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
 hello - this is a temporary file
-\layout LyX-Code
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout LyX-Code
 Out[1]: "print 'hello - this is a temporary file'
-\backslash 
+\backslash
 n"
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 Now, if you call 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `%edit -p'
-\family default 
+\family default
 , IPython tries to open an editor with the same data as the last time you
  used 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %edit
-\family default 
+\family default
 .
  So if you haven't used 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %edit
-\family default 
+\family default
  in the meantime, this same contents will reopen; however, it will be done
  in a 
-\emph on 
+\emph on
 new file
-\emph default 
+\emph default
 .
  This means that if you make changes and you later want to find an old version,
  you can always retrieve it by using its output number, via 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `%edit _NN'
-\family default 
+\family default
 , where 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 NN
-\family default 
+\family default
  is the number of the output prompt.
-\layout Standard

 If invoked with no options, it executes all the files listed in sequence

 Windows, unfortunately, uses the `

  This is a terrible choice, because `
-\family typewriter

  For this reason, issuing many of the commands discussed below (especially

 Magic command system
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 IPython will treat any line whose first character is a 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %
-\family default 
+\family default
  as a special call to a 'magic' function.
  These allow you to control the behavior of IPython itself, plus a lot of
  system-type features.
  They are all prefixed with a 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %
-\family default 
+\family default
  character, but parameters are given without parentheses or quotes.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 Example: typing 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 '%cd mydir'
-\family default 
+\family default
  (without the quotes) changes you working directory to 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 'mydir'
-\family default 
+\family default
 , if it exists.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 If you have 'automagic' enabled (in your 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 ipythonrc
-\family default 
+\family default
  file, via the command line option 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 -automagic 
-\family default 
+\family default
 or with the 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %automagic
-\family default 
+\family default
  function), you don't need to type in the 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 %
-\family default 
+\family default
  explicitly.
  IPython will scan its internal list of magic functions and call one if
  it exists.
  With automagic on you can then just type '
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 cd mydir
-\family default 
+\family default
 ' to go to directory '
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 mydir
-\family default 
+\family default
 '.
  The automagic system has the lowest possible precedence in name searches,
  so defining an identifier with the same name as an existing magic function
  will shadow it for automagic use.
  You can still access the shadowed magic function by explicitly using the
  
-\family typewriter

 %
-\family default 
+\family default
  character at the beginning of the line.

 Persistent command history across sessions
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout

 , but if you've loaded a named profile, '
-\family typewriter

  This allows you to keep separate histories related to various tasks: commands

  for example.

+\begin_layout Standard
 The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
  
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

-\family default 
+\family default
 : stores previous input.
  
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 _ih[n]
-\family default 
+\family default
  is the input from line 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 n
-\family default 
+\family default
  and this list is aliased to the global variable 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 In
-\family default 
+\family default
 .
  If you overwrite 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

  list with a simple 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

-\family default 
+\family default
 ' will re-execute lines 9 through 13 and line 18).
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 You can also re-execute multiple lines of input easily by using the magic
  
-\family typewriter

 %macro
-\family default 
+\family default
  function (which automates the process and allows re-execution without having
  to type '

  The macro system also allows you to re-execute previous lines which include
  magic function calls (which require special processing).

 This system obviously can potentially put heavy memory demands on your system,
  since it prevents Python's garbage collector from removing any previously
  computed results.
  You can control how many results are kept in memory with the option (at
  the command line or in your 
-\family typewriter

-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

 Automatic parentheses and quotes

  They are meant to allow less typing for common situations.

+\begin_layout Subsubsection
 Automatic parentheses
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 Callable objects (i.e.
  functions, methods, etc) can be invoked like this (notice the commas between
  the arguments):
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 >>> callable_ob arg1, arg2, arg3 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 and the input will be translated to this: 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 --> callable_ob(arg1, arg2, arg3) 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 You can force automatic parentheses by using '/' as the first character
  of a line.
  For example:
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 >>> /globals # becomes 'globals()' 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 Note that the '/' MUST be the first character on the line! This won't work:
  
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 >>> print /globals # syntax error
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 In most cases the automatic algorithm should work, so you should rarely
  need to explicitly invoke /.
  One notable exception is if you are trying to call a function with a list
  of tuples as arguments (the parenthesis will confuse IPython): 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 In [1]: zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6) # won't work 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 but this will work: 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 In [2]: /zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6)
-\newline 
+\newline
 ------> zip ((1,2,3),(4,5,6)) 
-\newline 
-Out[2]= [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)] 
-\layout Standard
+\newline
+Out[2]= [(1, 4),
+ (2, 5), (3, 6)] 
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 IPython tells you that it has altered your command line by displaying the
  new command line preceded by 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 -->
-\family default 
+\family default
 .
  e.g.: 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter

-\newline 
+\newline
 -------> callable (list)
-\layout Subsubsection
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Subsubsection
 Automatic quoting 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 You can force automatic quoting of a function's arguments by using 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `,'
-\family default 
+\family default
  or 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `;'
-\family default 
+\family default
  as the first character of a line.
  For example: 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 >>> ,my_function /home/me # becomes my_function("/home/me") 
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 If you use 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `;'
-\family default 
+\family default
  instead, the whole argument is quoted as a single string (while 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 `,'
-\family default 
+\family default
  splits on whitespace):
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 >>> ,my_function a b c # becomes my_function("a","b","c")
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 >>> ;my_function a b c # becomes my_function("a b c")
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 Note that the `
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 ,
-\family default 
+\family default
 ' or `
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 ;
-\family default 
+\family default
 ' MUST be the first character on the line! This won't work:

 Customization
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 As we've already mentioned, IPython reads a configuration file which can
  be specified at the command line (
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 -rcfile
-\family default 
+\family default
 ) or which by default is assumed to be called 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 ipythonrc
-\family default 
+\family default
 .
  Such a file is looked for in the current directory where IPython is started
  and then in your 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 IPYTHONDIR
-\family default 
+\family default
 , which allows you to have local configuration files for specific projects.
  In this section we will call these types of configuration files simply
  rcfiles (short for resource configuration file).
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 The syntax of an rcfile is one of key-value pairs separated by whitespace,
  one per line.
  Lines beginning with a 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 #
-\family default 
+\family default
  are ignored as comments, but comments can 
-\series bold 
+\series bold
 not
-\series default 
+\series default
  be put on lines with data (the parser is fairly primitive).
  Note that these are not python files, and this is deliberate, because it
  allows us to do some things which would be quite tricky to implement if
  they were normal python files.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 First, an rcfile can contain permanent default values for almost all command
  line options (except things like 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 -help
-\family default 
+\family default
  or 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 -Version
-\family default 
+\family default
 ).
- Sec\SpecialChar ~
+ Sec\InsetSpace ~
 
 \begin_inset LatexCommand \ref{sec:cmd-line-opts}
 
-\end_inset 
+\end_inset
 
  contains a description of all command-line options.
  However, values you explicitly specify at the command line override the
  values defined in the rcfile.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 Besides command line option values, the rcfile can specify values for certain
  extra special options which are not available at the command line.
  These options are briefly described below.
  
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 Each of these options may appear as many times as you need it in the file.

 rcfiles you want to recursively load up to 15 levels (don't use the

  This feature allows you to define a 'base' rcfile with general options
  and special-purpose files which can be loaded only when needed with particular
  configuration options.
  To make this more convenient, IPython accepts the 
-\family typewriter

  option (abbreviates to 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

  IPython isn't meant to be a shell replacement, but it is often very useful

  This gives you the flexibility to have within IPython any aliases you may
  be used to under your normal system shell.

 Finally, IPython supports the evaluation of arbitrary expressions in your
  prompt string.
  The prompt strings are evaluated through the syntax of PEP 215, but basically
  you can use 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 $x.y
-\family default 
+\family default
  to expand the value of 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 x.y
-\family default 
+\family default
 , and for more complicated expressions you can use braces: 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 ${foo()+x}
-\family default 
+\family default
  will call function 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 foo
-\family default 
+\family default
  and add to it the value of 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 x
-\family default 
+\family default
 , before putting the result into your prompt.
  For example, using 
-\newline 
+\newline
 
-\family typewriter

  Opening an IPython instance will give you full access to your data and

  the interactive part (perhaps to stop again later, as many times as needed).
-\layout Standard

 The following code snippet is the bare minimum you need to include in your
  Python programs for this to work (detailed examples follow later):

  the IPython interactive prompt with '
-\family typewriter 
-%run\SpecialChar ~
+\family typewriter

-\family default 
+\family default
 '.
  Since it's easy to get lost as to where you are (in your top-level IPython
  or in your embedded one), it's a good idea in such cases to set the in/out
  prompts to something different for the embedded instances.
  The code examples below illustrate this.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 You can also have multiple IPython instances in your program and open them
  separately, for example with different options for data presentation.
  If you close and open the same instance multiple times, its prompt counters
  simply continue from each execution to the next.

  opens up at the point in your code which triggered the exception, and while

  One must instead do a line by line manual copying, carefully removing the

 Signals and Threads

 When any of the thread systems (GTK, Qt or WX) are active, either directly
  or via 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter

-\family default 
+\family default
  with a threaded backend, it is impossible to interrupt long-running Python
  code via 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 Ctrl-C
-\family default 
+\family default
 .
  IPython can not pass the KeyboardInterrupt exception (or the underlying
  
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 SIGINT
-\family default 
+\family default
 ) across threads, so any long-running process started from IPython will
  run to completion, or will have to be killed via an external (OS-based)
  mechanism.
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 To the best of my knowledge, this limitation is imposed by the Python interprete
 r itself, and it comes from the difficulty of writing portable signal/threaded
  code.
  If any user is an expert on this topic and can suggest a better solution,
  I would love to hear about it.
  In the IPython sources, look at the 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 Shell.py
-\family default 
+\family default
  module, and in particular at the 
-\family typewriter

 I/O pitfalls

+ bytecodes, where the default value as of Python\InsetSpace ~

 \begin_inset Formula $N=100.$
-\end_inset 
+\end_inset
 
  This value can be read by using the 
-\family typewriter

-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 sys.setcheckinterval(

-\emph default 
+\emph default
 )
-\family default 
+\family default

  This switching of threads can cause subtly confusing effects if one of
  your threads is doing file I/O.
  In text mode, most systems only flush file buffers when they encounter
  a

-\family default 
+\family default
 
-\newline 
+\newline
 actually consists of several bytecodes, so it is possible that the newline
  does not reach your file before the next thread switch.
  Similarly, if you are writing to a file in binary mode, the file won't
  be flushed until the buffer fills, and your other thread may see apparently
  truncated files.
  
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 For this reason, if you are using IPython's thread support and have (for
  example) a GUI application which will read data generated by files written
  to from the IPython thread, the safest approach is to open all of your
  files in unbuffered mode (the third argument to the 
-\family typewriter 
+\family typewriter
 file/open
-\family default 
+\family default
  function is the buffering value):
-\newline 
+\newline

-\SpecialChar ~
-\SpecialChar ~

+\InsetSpace ~
 filehandle = open(filename,mode,0)
-\layout Standard
+\end_layout
 
+\begin_layout Standard
 This is obviously a brute force way of avoiding race conditions with the
  file buffering.
  If you want to do it cleanly, and you have a resource which is being shared
  by the interactive IPython loop and your GUI thread, you should really
  handle it with thread locking and syncrhonization properties.
  The Python documentation discusses these.
