1 1 """hooks for IPython.
2 2
3 3 In Python, it is possible to overwrite any method of any object if you really
4 4 want to. But IPython exposes a few 'hooks', methods which are _designed_ to
5 5 be overwritten by users for customization purposes. This module defines the
6 6 default versions of all such hooks, which get used by IPython if not
7 7 overridden by the user.
8 8
9 9 hooks are simple functions, but they should be declared with 'self' as their
10 10 first argument, because when activated they are registered into IPython as
11 11 instance methods. The self argument will be the IPython running instance
12 12 itself, so hooks have full access to the entire IPython object.
13 13
14 14 If you wish to define a new hook and activate it, you need to put the
15 15 necessary code into a python file which can be either imported or execfile()'d
16 from within your ipythonrc configuration.
16 from within your profile's ipython_config.py configuration.
17 17
18 18 For example, suppose that you have a module called 'myiphooks' in your
19 19 PYTHONPATH, which contains the following definition:
20 20
21 21 import os
22 22 from IPython.core import ipapi
23 23 ip = ipapi.get()
24 24
25 25 def calljed(self,filename, linenum):
26 26 "My editor hook calls the jed editor directly."
27 27 print "Calling my own editor, jed ..."
28 28 if os.system('jed +%d %s' % (linenum,filename)) != 0:
29 29 raise TryNext()
30 30
31 31 ip.set_hook('editor', calljed)
32 32
33 33 You can then enable the functionality by doing 'import myiphooks'
34 34 somewhere in your configuration files or ipython command line.

373 373 IPython's 'magic' functions
374 374 ===========================
375 375
376 376 The magic function system provides a series of functions which allow you to
377 377 control the behavior of IPython itself, plus a lot of system-type
378 378 features. All these functions are prefixed with a % character, but parameters
379 379 are given without parentheses or quotes.
380 380
381 381 NOTE: If you have 'automagic' enabled (via the command line option or with the
382 382 %automagic function), you don't need to type in the % explicitly. By default,
383 383 IPython ships with automagic on, so you should only rarely need the % escape.
384 384
385 385 Example: typing '%cd mydir' (without the quotes) changes you working directory
386 386 to 'mydir', if it exists.
387 387
388 388 For a list of the available magic functions, use %lsmagic. For a description
389 389 of any of them, type %magic_name?, e.g. '%cd?'.

623 623 matched, many IPython generated objects have a single
624 624 underscore. The default is case insensitive matching. Matching is
625 625 also done on the attributes of objects and not only on the objects
626 626 in a module.
627 627
628 628 [OBJECT TYPE]
629 629
630 630 Is the name of a python type from the types module. The name is
631 631 given in lowercase without the ending type, ex. StringType is
632 632 written string. By adding a type here only objects matching the
633 633 given type are matched. Using all here makes the pattern match all
634 634 types (this is the default).
635 635
636 636 Options:
637 637
638 638 -a: makes the pattern match even objects whose names start with a
639 639 single underscore. These names are normally ommitted from the
640 640 search.
641 641
642 642 -i/-c: make the pattern case insensitive/sensitive. If neither of
643 these options is given, the default is read from your ipythonrc
644 file. The option name which sets this value is
645 'wildcards_case_sensitive'. If this option is not specified in your
646 ipythonrc file, IPython's internal default is to do a case sensitive
647 search.
643 these options are given, the default is read from your configuration
644 file, with the option ``InteractiveShell.wildcards_case_sensitive``.
645 If this option is not specified in your configuration file, IPython's
646 internal default is to do a case sensitive search.
648 647
649 648 -e/-s NAMESPACE: exclude/search a given namespace. The pattern you
650 649 specifiy can be searched in any of the following namespaces:
651 650 'builtin', 'user', 'user_global','internal', 'alias', where
652 651 'builtin' and 'user' are the search defaults. Note that you should
653 652 not use quotes when specifying namespaces.
654 653
655 654 'Builtin' contains the python module builtin, 'user' contains all
656 655 user data, 'alias' only contain the shell aliases and no python
657 656 objects, 'internal' contains objects used by IPython. The
658 657 'user_global' namespace is only used by embedded IPython instances,
659 658 and it contains module-level globals. You can add namespaces to the
660 659 search with -s or exclude them with -e (these options can be given
661 660 more than once).

1278 1277 %prun [options] statement
1279 1278
1280 1279 The given statement (which doesn't require quote marks) is run via the
1281 1280 python profiler in a manner similar to the profile.run() function.
1282 1281 Namespaces are internally managed to work correctly; profile.run
1283 1282 cannot be used in IPython because it makes certain assumptions about
1284 1283 namespaces which do not hold under IPython.
1285 1284
1286 1285 Options:
1287 1286
1288 1287 -l <limit>: you can place restrictions on what or how much of the
1289 1288 profile gets printed. The limit value can be:
1290 1289
1291 1290 * A string: only information for function names containing this string
1292 1291 is printed.
1293 1292
1294 1293 * An integer: only these many lines are printed.
1295 1294
1296 1295 * A float (between 0 and 1): this fraction of the report is printed
1297 1296 (for example, use a limit of 0.4 to see the topmost 40% only).
1298 1297
1299 1298 You can combine several limits with repeated use of the option. For
1300 1299 example, '-l __init__ -l 5' will print only the topmost 5 lines of
1301 1300 information about class constructors.
1302 1301
1303 1302 -r: return the pstats.Stats object generated by the profiling. This
1304 1303 object has all the information about the profile in it, and you can
1305 1304 later use it for further analysis or in other functions.
1306 1305
1307 1306 -s <key>: sort profile by given key. You can provide more than one key
1308 1307 by using the option several times: '-s key1 -s key2 -s key3...'. The
1309 1308 default sorting key is 'time'.
1310 1309
1311 1310 The following is copied verbatim from the profile documentation
1312 1311 referenced below:
1313 1312
1314 1313 When more than one key is provided, additional keys are used as
1315 1314 secondary criteria when the there is equality in all keys selected
1316 1315 before them.
1317 1316
1318 1317 Abbreviations can be used for any key names, as long as the
1319 1318 abbreviation is unambiguous. The following are the keys currently
1320 1319 defined:
1321 1320
1322 1321 Valid Arg Meaning
1323 1322 "calls" call count
1324 1323 "cumulative" cumulative time
1325 1324 "file" file name
1326 1325 "module" file name
1327 1326 "pcalls" primitive call count
1328 1327 "line" line number
1329 1328 "name" function name
1330 1329 "nfl" name/file/line
1331 1330 "stdname" standard name
1332 1331 "time" internal time
1333 1332
1334 1333 Note that all sorts on statistics are in descending order (placing
1335 1334 most time consuming items first), where as name, file, and line number
1336 1335 searches are in ascending order (i.e., alphabetical). The subtle
1337 1336 distinction between "nfl" and "stdname" is that the standard name is a
1338 1337 sort of the name as printed, which means that the embedded line
1339 1338 numbers get compared in an odd way. For example, lines 3, 20, and 40
1340 1339 would (if the file names were the same) appear in the string order
1341 1340 "20" "3" and "40". In contrast, "nfl" does a numeric compare of the
1342 1341 line numbers. In fact, sort_stats("nfl") is the same as
1343 1342 sort_stats("name", "file", "line").
1344 1343
1345 1344 -T <filename>: save profile results as shown on screen to a text
1346 1345 file. The profile is still shown on screen.
1347 1346
1348 1347 -D <filename>: save (via dump_stats) profile statistics to given
1349 1348 filename. This data is in a format understod by the pstats module, and
1350 1349 is generated by a call to the dump_stats() method of profile
1351 1350 objects. The profile is still shown on screen.
1352 1351
1353 1352 If you want to run complete programs under the profiler's control, use
1354 1353 '%run -p [prof_opts] filename.py [args to program]' where prof_opts
1355 1354 contains profiler specific options as described here.

1451 1450 Usage:\\
1452 1451 %run [-n -i -t [-N<N>] -d [-b<N>] -p [profile options]] file [args]
1453 1452
1454 1453 Parameters after the filename are passed as command-line arguments to
1455 1454 the program (put in sys.argv). Then, control returns to IPython's
1456 1455 prompt.
1457 1456
1458 1457 This is similar to running at a system prompt:\\
1459 1458 $ python file args\\
1460 1459 but with the advantage of giving you IPython's tracebacks, and of
1461 1460 loading all variables into your interactive namespace for further use
1462 1461 (unless -p is used, see below).
1463 1462
1464 1463 The file is executed in a namespace initially consisting only of
1465 1464 __name__=='__main__' and sys.argv constructed as indicated. It thus
1466 1465 sees its environment as if it were being run as a stand-alone program
1467 1466 (except for sharing global objects such as previously imported
1468 1467 modules). But after execution, the IPython interactive namespace gets
1469 1468 updated with all variables defined in the program (except for __name__
1470 1469 and sys.argv). This allows for very convenient loading of code for
1471 1470 interactive work, while giving each program a 'clean sheet' to run in.
1472 1471
1473 1472 Options:
1474 1473
1475 1474 -n: __name__ is NOT set to '__main__', but to the running file's name
1476 1475 without extension (as python does under import). This allows running
1477 1476 scripts and reloading the definitions in them without calling code
1478 1477 protected by an ' if __name__ == "__main__" ' clause.
1479 1478
1480 1479 -i: run the file in IPython's namespace instead of an empty one. This
1481 1480 is useful if you are experimenting with code written in a text editor
1482 1481 which depends on variables defined interactively.
1483 1482
1484 1483 -e: ignore sys.exit() calls or SystemExit exceptions in the script
1485 1484 being run. This is particularly useful if IPython is being used to
1486 1485 run unittests, which always exit with a sys.exit() call. In such
1487 1486 cases you are interested in the output of the test results, not in
1488 1487 seeing a traceback of the unittest module.
1489 1488
1490 1489 -t: print timing information at the end of the run. IPython will give
1491 1490 you an estimated CPU time consumption for your script, which under
1492 1491 Unix uses the resource module to avoid the wraparound problems of
1493 1492 time.clock(). Under Unix, an estimate of time spent on system tasks
1494 1493 is also given (for Windows platforms this is reported as 0.0).
1495 1494
1496 1495 If -t is given, an additional -N<N> option can be given, where <N>
1497 1496 must be an integer indicating how many times you want the script to
1498 1497 run. The final timing report will include total and per run results.
1499 1498
1500 1499 For example (testing the script uniq_stable.py):
1501 1500
1502 1501 In [1]: run -t uniq_stable
1503 1502
1504 1503 IPython CPU timings (estimated):\\
1505 1504 User : 0.19597 s.\\
1506 1505 System: 0.0 s.\\
1507 1506
1508 1507 In [2]: run -t -N5 uniq_stable
1509 1508
1510 1509 IPython CPU timings (estimated):\\
1511 1510 Total runs performed: 5\\
1512 1511 Times : Total Per run\\
1513 1512 User : 0.910862 s, 0.1821724 s.\\
1514 1513 System: 0.0 s, 0.0 s.
1515 1514
1516 1515 -d: run your program under the control of pdb, the Python debugger.
1517 1516 This allows you to execute your program step by step, watch variables,
1518 1517 etc. Internally, what IPython does is similar to calling:
1519 1518
1520 1519 pdb.run('execfile("YOURFILENAME")')
1521 1520
1522 1521 with a breakpoint set on line 1 of your file. You can change the line
1523 1522 number for this automatic breakpoint to be <N> by using the -bN option
1524 1523 (where N must be an integer). For example:
1525 1524
1526 1525 %run -d -b40 myscript
1527 1526
1528 1527 will set the first breakpoint at line 40 in myscript.py. Note that
1529 1528 the first breakpoint must be set on a line which actually does
1530 1529 something (not a comment or docstring) for it to stop execution.
1531 1530
1532 1531 When the pdb debugger starts, you will see a (Pdb) prompt. You must
1533 1532 first enter 'c' (without qoutes) to start execution up to the first
1534 1533 breakpoint.
1535 1534
1536 1535 Entering 'help' gives information about the use of the debugger. You
1537 1536 can easily see pdb's full documentation with "import pdb;pdb.help()"
1538 1537 at a prompt.
1539 1538
1540 1539 -p: run program under the control of the Python profiler module (which
1541 1540 prints a detailed report of execution times, function calls, etc).
1542 1541
1543 1542 You can pass other options after -p which affect the behavior of the
1544 1543 profiler itself. See the docs for %prun for details.
1545 1544
1546 1545 In this mode, the program's variables do NOT propagate back to the
1547 1546 IPython interactive namespace (because they remain in the namespace
1548 1547 where the profiler executes them).
1549 1548
1550 1549 Internally this triggers a call to %prun, see its documentation for
1551 1550 details on the options available specifically for profiling.
1552 1551
1553 1552 There is one special usage for which the text above doesn't apply:
1554 1553 if the filename ends with .ipy, the file is run as ipython script,
1555 1554 just as if the commands were written on IPython prompt.

1753 1752
1754 1753 Time execution of a Python statement or expression using the timeit

1756 1755
1757 1756 Options:
1758 1757 -n<N>: execute the given statement <N> times in a loop. If this value
1759 1758 is not given, a fitting value is chosen.
1760 1759
1761 1760 -r<R>: repeat the loop iteration <R> times and take the best result.
1762 1761 Default: 3
1763 1762
1764 1763 -t: use time.time to measure the time, which is the default on Unix.
1765 1764 This function measures wall time.
1766 1765
1767 1766 -c: use time.clock to measure the time, which is the default on
1768 1767 Windows and measures wall time. On Unix, resource.getrusage is used
1769 1768 instead and returns the CPU user time.
1770 1769
1771 1770 -p<P>: use a precision of <P> digits to display the timing result.

1794 1793 The times reported by %timeit will be slightly higher than those

1797 1796 of the shell, compared with timeit.py, which uses a single setup
1798 1797 statement to import function or create variables. Generally, the bias
1799 1798 does not matter as long as results from timeit.py are not mixed with

1980 1979 """Define a macro for future re-execution. It accepts ranges of history,
1981 1980 filenames or string objects.
1982 1981
1983 1982 Usage:\\
1984 1983 %macro [options] name n1-n2 n3-n4 ... n5 .. n6 ...
1985 1984
1986 1985 Options:
1987 1986
1988 1987 -r: use 'raw' input. By default, the 'processed' history is used,
1989 1988 so that magics are loaded in their transformed version to valid
1990 1989 Python. If this option is given, the raw input as typed as the
1991 1990 command line is used instead.
1992 1991
1993 1992 This will define a global variable called `name` which is a string
1994 1993 made of joining the slices and lines you specify (n1,n2,... numbers
1995 1994 above) from your input history into a single string. This variable
1996 1995 acts like an automatic function which re-executes those lines as if
1997 1996 you had typed them. You just type 'name' at the prompt and the code
1998 1997 executes.
1999 1998
2000 1999 The syntax for indicating input ranges is described in %history.
2001 2000
2002 2001 Note: as a 'hidden' feature, you can also use traditional python slice
2003 2002 notation, where N:M means numbers N through M-1.
2004 2003
2005 2004 For example, if your history contains (%hist prints it):
2006 2005
2007 2006 44: x=1
2008 2007 45: y=3
2009 2008 46: z=x+y
2010 2009 47: print x
2011 2010 48: a=5
2012 2011 49: print 'x',x,'y',y
2013 2012
2014 2013 you can create a macro with lines 44 through 47 (included) and line 49
2015 2014 called my_macro with:
2016 2015
2017 2016 In [55]: %macro my_macro 44-47 49
2018 2017
2019 2018 Now, typing `my_macro` (without quotes) will re-execute all this code
2020 2019 in one pass.
2021 2020
2022 2021 You don't need to give the line-numbers in order, and any given line
2023 2022 number can appear multiple times. You can assemble macros with any
2024 2023 lines from your input history in any order.
2025 2024
2026 2025 The macro is a simple object which holds its value in an attribute,
2027 2026 but IPython's display system checks for macros and executes them as
2028 2027 code instead of printing them when you type their name.
2029 2028
2030 2029 You can view a macro's contents by explicitly printing it with:
2031 2030
2032 2031 'print macro_name'.

2326 into the editor. You can thus edit any string which contains

2328 2328
2329 2329 - If the argument is the name of an object (other than a string),
2330 IPython will try to locate the file where it was defined and open the
2331 editor at the point where it is defined. You can use `%edit function`
2332 to load an editor exactly at the point where 'function' is defined,
2333 edit it and have the file be executed automatically.
2334
2335 If the object is a macro (see %macro for details), this opens up your
2336 specified editor with a temporary file containing the macro's data.
2337 Upon exit, the macro is reloaded with the contents of the file.

2339 2339 Note: opening at an exact line is only supported under Unix, and some
2340 2340 editors (like kedit and gedit up to Gnome 2.8) do not understand the
2341 2341 '+NUMBER' parameter necessary for this feature. Good editors like
2342 2342 (X)Emacs, vi, jed, pico and joe all do.
2343 2343
2344 2344 After executing your code, %edit will return as output the code you
2345 2345 typed in the editor (except when it was an existing file). This way
2346 2346 you can reload the code in further invocations of %edit as a variable,
2347 2347 via _<NUMBER> or Out[<NUMBER>], where <NUMBER> is the prompt number of
2348 2348 the output.
2349 2349
2350 2350 Note that %edit is also available through the alias %ed.
2351 2351
2352 2352 This is an example of creating a simple function inside the editor and
2353 2353 then modifying it. First, start up the editor:
2354 2354
2355 2355 In [1]: ed
2356 2356 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
2357 2357 Out[1]: 'def foo():n print "foo() was defined in an editing session"n'
2358 2358
2359 2359 We can then call the function foo():
2360 2360
2361 2361 In [2]: foo()
2362 2362 foo() was defined in an editing session
2363 2363
2364 2364 Now we edit foo. IPython automatically loads the editor with the
2365 2365 (temporary) file where foo() was previously defined:
2366 2366
2367 2367 In [3]: ed foo
2368 2368 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
2369 2369
2370 2370 And if we call foo() again we get the modified version:
2371 2371
2372 2372 In [4]: foo()
2373 2373 foo() has now been changed!
2374 2374
2375 2375 Here is an example of how to edit a code snippet successive
2376 2376 times. First we call the editor:
2377 2377
2378 2378 In [5]: ed
2379 2379 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
2380 2380 hello
2381 2381 Out[5]: "print 'hello'n"
2382 2382
2383 2383 Now we call it again with the previous output (stored in _):
2384 2384
2385 2385 In [6]: ed _
2386 2386 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
2387 2387 hello world
2388 2388 Out[6]: "print 'hello world'n"
2389 2389
2390 2390 Now we call it with the output #8 (stored in _8, also as Out[8]):
2391 2391
2392 2392 In [7]: ed _8
2393 2393 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
2394 2394 hello again
2395 2395 Out[7]: "print 'hello again'n"
2396 2396
2397 2397
2398 2398 Changing the default editor hook:
2399 2399
2400 2400 If you wish to write your own editor hook, you can put it in a
2401 2401 configuration file which you load at startup time. The default hook
2402 2402 is defined in the IPython.core.hooks module, and you can use that as a
2403 2403 starting example for further modifications. That file also has
2404 2404 general instructions on how to set a new hook for use once you've
2405 2405 defined it."""

2556 2556
2557 2557 Then, typing 'alias_name params' will execute the system command 'cmd
2558 2558 params' (from your underlying operating system).
2559 2559
2560 2560 Aliases have lower precedence than magic functions and Python normal
2561 2561 variables, so if 'foo' is both a Python variable and an alias, the
2562 2562 alias can not be executed until 'del foo' removes the Python variable.
2563 2563
2564 2564 You can use the %l specifier in an alias definition to represent the
2565 2565 whole line when the alias is called. For example:
2566 2566
2567 2567 In [2]: alias bracket echo "Input in brackets: <%l>"
2568 2568 In [3]: bracket hello world
2569 2569 Input in brackets: <hello world>
2570 2570
2571 2571 You can also define aliases with parameters using %s specifiers (one
2572 2572 per parameter):
2573 2573
2574 2574 In [1]: alias parts echo first %s second %s
2575 2575 In [2]: %parts A B
2576 2576 first A second B
2577 2577 In [3]: %parts A
2578 2578 Incorrect number of arguments: 2 expected.
2579 2579 parts is an alias to: 'echo first %s second %s'
2580 2580
2581 2581 Note that %l and %s are mutually exclusive. You can only use one or
2582 2582 the other in your aliases.
2583 2583
2584 2584 Aliases expand Python variables just like system calls using ! or !!
2585 2585 do: all expressions prefixed with '$' get expanded. For details of
2586 2586 the semantic rules, see PEP-215:
2587 2587 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html. This is the library used by
2588 2588 IPython for variable expansion. If you want to access a true shell
2589 2589 variable, an extra $ is necessary to prevent its expansion by IPython:
2590 2590

2597 2597
2598 2598 You can use the alias facility to acess all of $PATH. See the %rehash
2599 2599 and %rehashx functions, which automatically create aliases for the
2600 2600 contents of your $PATH.

2754 2754 since the default prompts do not display path information.

2939 2939 You should use the form 'var = !command' instead. Example:
2940 2940
2941 2941 "%sc -l myfiles = ls ~" should now be written as
2942 2942
2943 2943 "myfiles = !ls ~"
2944 2944

2948 2948 --
2949 2949 %sc [options] varname=command
2950 2950
2951 2951 IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
2952 2952 will then update the user's interactive namespace with a variable
2953 2953 called varname, containing the value of the call. Your command can
2954 2954 contain shell wildcards, pipes, etc.
2955 2955
2956 2956 The '=' sign in the syntax is mandatory, and the variable name you
2957 2957 supply must follow Python's standard conventions for valid names.
2958 2958
2959 2959 (A special format without variable name exists for internal use)
2960 2960
2961 2961 Options:
2962 2962
2963 2963 -l: list output. Split the output on newlines into a list before
2964 2964 assigning it to the given variable. By default the output is stored
2965 2965 as a single string.
2966 2966
2967 2967 -v: verbose. Print the contents of the variable.
2968 2968
2969 2969 In most cases you should not need to split as a list, because the
2970 2970 returned value is a special type of string which can automatically
2971 2971 provide its contents either as a list (split on newlines) or as a
2972 2972 space-separated string. These are convenient, respectively, either
2973 2973 for sequential processing or to be passed to a shell command.
2974 2974
2975 2975 For example:
2976 2976
2977 2977 # all-random
2978 2978
2979 2979 # Capture into variable a
2980 2980 In [1]: sc a=ls *py
2981 2981
2982 2982 # a is a string with embedded newlines
2983 2983 In [2]: a
2984 2984 Out[2]: 'setup.py\\nwin32_manual_post_install.py'
2985 2985
2986 2986 # which can be seen as a list:
2987 2987 In [3]: a.l
2988 2988 Out[3]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']
2989 2989
2990 2990 # or as a whitespace-separated string:
2991 2991 In [4]: a.s
2992 2992 Out[4]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
2993 2993
2994 2994 # a.s is useful to pass as a single command line:
2995 2995 In [5]: !wc -l $a.s
2996 2996 146 setup.py
2997 2997 130 win32_manual_post_install.py
2998 2998 276 total
2999 2999
3000 3000 # while the list form is useful to loop over:
3001 3001 In [6]: for f in a.l:
3002 3002 ...: !wc -l $f
3003 3003 ...:
3004 3004 146 setup.py
3005 3005 130 win32_manual_post_install.py
3006 3006
3007 3007 Similiarly, the lists returned by the -l option are also special, in
3008 3008 the sense that you can equally invoke the .s attribute on them to
3009 3009 automatically get a whitespace-separated string from their contents:
3010 3010
3011 3011 In [7]: sc -l b=ls *py
3012 3012
3013 3013 In [8]: b
3014 3014 Out[8]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']

3016 3016 In [9]: b.s
3017 3017 Out[9]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
3018 3018
3019 3019 In summary, both the lists and strings used for ouptut capture have
3020 3020 the following special attributes:
3021 3021
3022 3022 .l (or .list) : value as list.
3023 3023 .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.

3059 3059
3060 3060 Notes:
3061 3061
3062 3062 1) If an input line begins with '!!', then %sx is automatically
3063 3063 invoked. That is, while:
3064 3064 !ls
3065 3065 causes ipython to simply issue system('ls'), typing
3066 3066 !!ls
3067 3067 is a shorthand equivalent to:
3068 3068 %sx ls
3069 3069
3070 3070 2) %sx differs from %sc in that %sx automatically splits into a list,
3071 3071 like '%sc -l'. The reason for this is to make it as easy as possible
3072 3072 to process line-oriented shell output via further python commands.
3073 3073 %sc is meant to provide much finer control, but requires more
3074 3074 typing.
3075 3075
3076 3076 3) Just like %sc -l, this is a list with special attributes:
3077 3077
3078 3078 .l (or .list) : value as list.
3079 3079 .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
3080 3080 .s (or .spstr): value as whitespace-separated string.

3231 3231
3232 3232 This mode is intended to make IPython behave as much as possible like a
3233 3233 plain Python shell, from the perspective of how its prompts, exceptions
3234 3234 and output look. This makes it easy to copy and paste parts of a
3235 3235 session into doctests. It does so by:
3236 3236
3237 3237 - Changing the prompts to the classic ``>>>`` ones.
3238 3238 - Changing the exception reporting mode to 'Plain'.
3239 3239 - Disabling pretty-printing of output.
3240 3240
3241 3241 Note that IPython also supports the pasting of code snippets that have
3242 3242 leading '>>>' and '...' prompts in them. This means that you can paste
3243 3243 doctests from files or docstrings (even if they have leading
3244 3244 whitespace), and the code will execute correctly. You can then use
3245 3245 '%history -t' to see the translated history; this will give you the
3246 3246 input after removal of all the leading prompts and whitespace, which
3247 3247 can be pasted back into an editor.
3248 3248
3249 3249 With these features, you can switch into this mode easily whenever you
3250 3250 need to do testing and changes to doctests, without having to leave
3251 3251 your existing IPython session.

20 20 Tools for Interactive Computing in Python
21 21 =========================================
22 22
23 23 A Python shell with automatic history (input and output), dynamic object
24 24 introspection, easier configuration, command completion, access to the
25 25 system shell and more. IPython can also be embedded in running programs.
26 26
27 27
28 28 Usage
29 29
30 30 ipython [subcommand] [options] [files]
31 31
32 32 If invoked with no options, it executes all the files listed in sequence
33 33 and exits, use -i to enter interactive mode after running the files. Files
34 34 ending in .py will be treated as normal Python, but files ending in .ipy
35 35 can contain special IPython syntax (magic commands, shell expansions, etc.)
36 36
37 37 Almost all configuration in IPython is available via the command-line. Do
38 38 `ipython --help-all` to see all available options. For persistent
39 39 configuration, look into your `ipython_config.py` configuration file for
40 40 details.
41 41
42 42 This file is typically installed in the `IPYTHON_DIR` directory, and there
43 43 is a separate configuration directory for each profile. The default profile
44 44 directory will be located in $IPYTHON_DIR/profile_default. For Linux users,
45 45 IPYTHON_DIR defaults to `$HOME/.config/ipython`, and for other Unix systems
46 46 to `$HOME/.ipython`. For Windows users, $HOME resolves to C:\\Documents
47 47 and Settings\\YourUserName in most instances.
48 48
49 49 To initialize a profile with the default configuration file, do::
50 50
51 51 $> ipython profile create
52 52
53 53 and start editing `IPYTHON_DIR/profile_default/ipython_config.py`
54 54
55 55 In IPython's documentation, we will refer to this directory as
56 56 `IPYTHON_DIR`, you can change its default location by creating an
57 57 environment variable with this name and setting it to the desired path.
58 58
59 59 For more information, see the manual available in HTML and PDF in your
60 60 installation, or online at http://ipython.org/documentation.html.

64 64 IPython -- An enhanced Interactive Python
65 65 =========================================
66 66
67 67 IPython offers a combination of convenient shell features, special commands
68 68 and a history mechanism for both input (command history) and output (results
69 69 caching, similar to Mathematica). It is intended to be a fully compatible
70 70 replacement for the standard Python interpreter, while offering vastly
71 71 improved functionality and flexibility.
72 72
73 73 At your system command line, type 'ipython -h' to see the command line
74 74 options available. This document only describes interactive features.
75 75
76 76 MAIN FEATURES
77 77
78 78 * Access to the standard Python help. As of Python 2.1, a help system is
79 79 available with access to object docstrings and the Python manuals. Simply
80 80 type 'help' (no quotes) to access it.
81 81
82 82 * Magic commands: type %magic for information on the magic subsystem.
83 83
84 * System command aliases, via the %alias command or the ipythonrc config file.
84 * System command aliases, via the %alias command or the configuration file(s).
85 85
86 86 * Dynamic object information:
87 87
88 88 Typing ?word or word? prints detailed information about an object. If
89 89 certain strings in the object are too long (docstrings, code, etc.) they get
90 90 snipped in the center for brevity.
91 91
92 92 Typing ??word or word?? gives access to the full information without
93 93 snipping long strings. Long strings are sent to the screen through the less
94 94 pager if longer than the screen, printed otherwise.
95 95
96 96 The ?/?? system gives access to the full source code for any object (if
97 97 available), shows function prototypes and other useful information.
98 98
99 99 If you just want to see an object's docstring, type '%pdoc object' (without
100 100 quotes, and without % if you have automagic on).
101 101
102 102 Both %pdoc and ?/?? give you access to documentation even on things which are
103 103 not explicitely defined. Try for example typing {}.get? or after import os,
104 104 type os.path.abspath??. The magic functions %pdef, %source and %file operate
105 105 similarly.
106 106
107 107 * Completion in the local namespace, by typing TAB at the prompt.
108 108
109 109 At any time, hitting tab will complete any available python commands or
110 110 variable names, and show you a list of the possible completions if there's
111 111 no unambiguous one. It will also complete filenames in the current directory.
112 112
113 113 This feature requires the readline and rlcomplete modules, so it won't work
114 114 if your Python lacks readline support (such as under Windows).
115 115
116 116 * Search previous command history in two ways (also requires readline):
117 117
118 118 - Start typing, and then use Ctrl-p (previous,up) and Ctrl-n (next,down) to
119 119 search through only the history items that match what you've typed so
120 120 far. If you use Ctrl-p/Ctrl-n at a blank prompt, they just behave like
121 121 normal arrow keys.
122 122
123 123 - Hit Ctrl-r: opens a search prompt. Begin typing and the system searches
124 124 your history for lines that match what you've typed so far, completing as
125 125 much as it can.
126 126
127 127 - %hist: search history by index (this does *not* require readline).
128 128
129 129 * Persistent command history across sessions.
130 130
131 131 * Logging of input with the ability to save and restore a working session.
132 132
133 133 * System escape with !. Typing !ls will run 'ls' in the current directory.
134 134
135 135 * The reload command does a 'deep' reload of a module: changes made to the
136 136 module since you imported will actually be available without having to exit.
137 137
138 138 * Verbose and colored exception traceback printouts. See the magic xmode and
139 139 xcolor functions for details (just type %magic).
140 140
141 141 * Input caching system:
142 142
143 143 IPython offers numbered prompts (In/Out) with input and output caching. All
144 144 input is saved and can be retrieved as variables (besides the usual arrow
145 145 key recall).
146 146
147 147 The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
148 148 _i: stores previous input.
149 149 _ii: next previous.
150 150 _iii: next-next previous.
151 151 _ih : a list of all input _ih[n] is the input from line n.
152 152
153 153 Additionally, global variables named _i<n> are dynamically created (<n>
154 154 being the prompt counter), such that _i<n> == _ih[<n>]
155 155
156 156 For example, what you typed at prompt 14 is available as _i14 and _ih[14].
157 157
158 158 You can create macros which contain multiple input lines from this history,
159 159 for later re-execution, with the %macro function.
160 160
161 161 The history function %hist allows you to see any part of your input history
162 162 by printing a range of the _i variables. Note that inputs which contain
163 163 magic functions (%) appear in the history with a prepended comment. This is
164 164 because they aren't really valid Python code, so you can't exec them.
165 165
166 166 * Output caching system:
167 167
168 168 For output that is returned from actions, a system similar to the input
169 169 cache exists but using _ instead of _i. Only actions that produce a result
170 170 (NOT assignments, for example) are cached. If you are familiar with
171 171 Mathematica, IPython's _ variables behave exactly like Mathematica's %
172 172 variables.
173 173
174 174 The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
175 175 _ (one underscore): previous output.
176 176 __ (two underscores): next previous.
177 177 ___ (three underscores): next-next previous.
178 178
179 179 Global variables named _<n> are dynamically created (<n> being the prompt
180 180 counter), such that the result of output <n> is always available as _<n>.
181 181
182 182 Finally, a global dictionary named _oh exists with entries for all lines
183 183 which generated output.
184 184
185 185 * Directory history:
186 186
187 187 Your history of visited directories is kept in the global list _dh, and the
188 188 magic %cd command can be used to go to any entry in that list.
189 189
190 190 * Auto-parentheses and auto-quotes (adapted from Nathan Gray's LazyPython)
191 191
192 192 1. Auto-parentheses
193 193 Callable objects (i.e. functions, methods, etc) can be invoked like
194 194 this (notice the commas between the arguments):
195 195 >>> callable_ob arg1, arg2, arg3
196 196 and the input will be translated to this:
197 197 --> callable_ob(arg1, arg2, arg3)
198 198 You can force auto-parentheses by using '/' as the first character
199 199 of a line. For example:
200 200 >>> /globals # becomes 'globals()'
201 201 Note that the '/' MUST be the first character on the line! This
202 202 won't work:
203 203 >>> print /globals # syntax error
204 204
205 205 In most cases the automatic algorithm should work, so you should
206 206 rarely need to explicitly invoke /. One notable exception is if you
207 207 are trying to call a function with a list of tuples as arguments (the
208 208 parenthesis will confuse IPython):
209 209 In [1]: zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6) # won't work
210 210 but this will work:
211 211 In [2]: /zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6)
212 212 ------> zip ((1,2,3),(4,5,6))
213 213 Out[2]= [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
214 214
215 215 IPython tells you that it has altered your command line by
216 216 displaying the new command line preceded by -->. e.g.:
217 217 In [18]: callable list
218 218 -------> callable (list)
219 219
220 220 2. Auto-Quoting
221 221 You can force auto-quoting of a function's arguments by using ',' as
222 222 the first character of a line. For example:
223 223 >>> ,my_function /home/me # becomes my_function("/home/me")
224 224
225 225 If you use ';' instead, the whole argument is quoted as a single
226 226 string (while ',' splits on whitespace):
227 227 >>> ,my_function a b c # becomes my_function("a","b","c")
228 228 >>> ;my_function a b c # becomes my_function("a b c")
229 229
230 230 Note that the ',' MUST be the first character on the line! This
231 231 won't work:
232 232 >>> x = ,my_function /home/me # syntax error

302 302 The graphical IPython console
303 303 ===============================
304 304
305 305 This console is designed to emulate the look, feel and workflow of a terminal
306 306 environment, while adding a number of enhancements that are simply not possible
307 307 in a real terminal, such as inline syntax highlighting, true multiline editing,
308 308 inline graphics and much more.
309 309
310 310 This quick reference document contains the basic information you'll need to
311 311 know to make the most efficient use of it. For the various command line
312 312 options available at startup, type ``ipython qtconsole --help`` at the command line.
313 313
314 314
315 315 Multiline editing
316 316 =================
317 317
318 318 The graphical console is capable of true multiline editing, but it also tries
319 319 to behave intuitively like a terminal when possible. If you are used to
320 320 IPyhton's old terminal behavior, you should find the transition painless, and
321 321 once you learn a few basic keybindings it will be a much more efficient
322 322 environment.
323 323
324 324 For single expressions or indented blocks, the console behaves almost like the
325 325 terminal IPython: single expressions are immediately evaluated, and indented
326 326 blocks are evaluated once a single blank line is entered::
327 327
328 328 In [1]: print "Hello IPython!" # Enter was pressed at the end of the line
329 329 Hello IPython!
330 330
331 331 In [2]: for i in range(10):
332 332 ...: print i,
333 333 ...:
334 334 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
335 335
336 336 If you want to enter more than one expression in a single input block
337 337 (something not possible in the terminal), you can use ``Control-Enter`` at the
338 338 end of your first line instead of ``Enter``. At that point the console goes
339 339 into 'cell mode' and even if your inputs are not indented, it will continue
340 340 accepting arbitrarily many lines until either you enter an extra blank line or
341 341 you hit ``Shift-Enter`` (the key binding that forces execution). When a
342 342 multiline cell is entered, IPython analyzes it and executes its code producing
343 343 an ``Out[n]`` prompt only for the last expression in it, while the rest of the
344 344 cell is executed as if it was a script. An example should clarify this::
345 345
346 346 In [3]: x=1 # Hit C-Enter here
347 347 ...: y=2 # from now on, regular Enter is sufficient
348 348 ...: z=3
349 349 ...: x**2 # This does *not* produce an Out[] value
350 350 ...: x+y+z # Only the last expression does
351 351 ...:
352 352 Out[3]: 6
353 353
354 354 The behavior where an extra blank line forces execution is only active if you
355 355 are actually typing at the keyboard each line, and is meant to make it mimic
356 356 the IPython terminal behavior. If you paste a long chunk of input (for example
357 357 a long script copied form an editor or web browser), it can contain arbitrarily
358 358 many intermediate blank lines and they won't cause any problems. As always,
359 359 you can then make it execute by appending a blank line *at the end* or hitting
360 360 ``Shift-Enter`` anywhere within the cell.
361 361
362 362 With the up arrow key, you can retrieve previous blocks of input that contain
363 363 multiple lines. You can move inside of a multiline cell like you would in any
364 364 text editor. When you want it executed, the simplest thing to do is to hit the
365 365 force execution key, ``Shift-Enter`` (though you can also navigate to the end
366 366 and append a blank line by using ``Enter`` twice).
367 367
368 368 If you've edited a multiline cell and accidentally navigate out of it with the
369 369 up or down arrow keys, IPython will clear the cell and replace it with the
370 370 contents of the one above or below that you navigated to. If this was an
371 371 accident and you want to retrieve the cell you were editing, use the Undo
372 372 keybinding, ``Control-z``.
373 373
374 374
375 375 Key bindings
376 376 ============
377 377
378 378 The IPython console supports most of the basic Emacs line-oriented keybindings,
379 379 in addition to some of its own.
380 380
381 381 The keybinding prefixes mean:
382 382
383 383 - ``C``: Control
384 384 - ``S``: Shift
385 385 - ``M``: Meta (typically the Alt key)
386 386
387 387 The keybindings themselves are:
388 388
389 389 - ``Enter``: insert new line (may cause execution, see above).
390 390 - ``C-Enter``: *force* new line, *never* causes execution.
391 391 - ``S-Enter``: *force* execution regardless of where cursor is, no newline added.
392 392 - ``Up``: step backwards through the history.
393 393 - ``Down``: step forwards through the history.
394 394 - ``S-Up``: search backwards through the history (like ``C-r`` in bash).
395 395 - ``S-Down``: search forwards through the history.
396 396 - ``C-c``: copy highlighted text to clipboard (prompts are automatically stripped).
397 397 - ``C-S-c``: copy highlighted text to clipboard (prompts are not stripped).
398 398 - ``C-v``: paste text from clipboard.
399 399 - ``C-z``: undo (retrieves lost text if you move out of a cell with the arrows).
400 400 - ``C-S-z``: redo.
401 401 - ``C-o``: move to 'other' area, between pager and terminal.
402 402 - ``C-l``: clear terminal.
403 403 - ``C-a``: go to beginning of line.
404 404 - ``C-e``: go to end of line.
405 405 - ``C-k``: kill from cursor to the end of the line.
406 406 - ``C-y``: yank (paste)
407 407 - ``C-p``: previous line (like up arrow)
408 408 - ``C-n``: next line (like down arrow)
409 409 - ``C-f``: forward (like right arrow)
410 410 - ``C-b``: back (like left arrow)
411 411 - ``C-d``: delete next character.
412 412 - ``M-<``: move to the beginning of the input region.
413 413 - ``M->``: move to the end of the input region.
414 414 - ``M-d``: delete next word.
415 415 - ``M-Backspace``: delete previous word.
416 416 - ``C-.``: force a kernel restart (a confirmation dialog appears).
417 417 - ``C-+``: increase font size.
418 418 - ``C--``: decrease font size.
419 419
420 420 The IPython pager
421 421 =================
422 422
423 423 IPython will show long blocks of text from many sources using a builtin pager.
424 424 You can control where this pager appears with the ``--paging`` command-line
425 425 flag:
426 426
427 427 - ``inside`` [default]: the pager is overlaid on top of the main terminal. You
428 428 must quit the pager to get back to the terminal (similar to how a pager such
429 429 as ``less`` or ``more`` works).
430 430
431 431 - ``vsplit``: the console is made double-tall, and the pager appears on the
432 432 bottom area when needed. You can view its contents while using the terminal.
433 433
434 434 - ``hsplit``: the console is made double-wide, and the pager appears on the
435 435 right area when needed. You can view its contents while using the terminal.
436 436
437 437 - ``none``: the console never pages output.
438 438
439 439 If you use the vertical or horizontal paging modes, you can navigate between
440 440 terminal and pager as follows:
441 441
442 442 - Tab key: goes from pager to terminal (but not the other way around).
443 443 - Control-o: goes from one to another always.
444 444 - Mouse: click on either.
445 445
446 446 In all cases, the ``q`` or ``Escape`` keys quit the pager (when used with the
447 447 focus on the pager area).
448 448
449 449 Running subprocesses
450 450 ====================
451 451
452 452 The graphical IPython console uses the ``pexpect`` module to run subprocesses
453 453 when you type ``!command``. This has a number of advantages (true asynchronous
454 454 output from subprocesses as well as very robust termination of rogue
455 455 subprocesses with ``Control-C``), as well as some limitations. The main
456 456 limitation is that you can *not* interact back with the subprocess, so anything
457 457 that invokes a pager or expects you to type input into it will block and hang
458 458 (you can kill it with ``Control-C``).
459 459
460 460 We have provided as magics ``%less`` to page files (aliased to ``%more``),
461 461 ``%clear`` to clear the terminal, and ``%man`` on Linux/OSX. These cover the
462 462 most common commands you'd want to call in your subshell and that would cause
463 463 problems if invoked via ``!cmd``, but you need to be aware of this limitation.
464 464
465 465 Display
466 466 =======
467 467
468 468 The IPython console can now display objects in a variety of formats, including
469 469 HTML, PNG and SVG. This is accomplished using the display functions in
470 470 ``IPython.core.display``::
471 471
472 472 In [4]: from IPython.core.display import display, display_html
473 473
474 474 In [5]: from IPython.core.display import display_png, display_svg
475 475
476 476 Python objects can simply be passed to these functions and the appropriate
477 477 representations will be displayed in the console as long as the objects know
478 478 how to compute those representations. The easiest way of teaching objects how
479 479 to format themselves in various representations is to define special methods
480 480 such as: ``_repr_html_``, ``_repr_svg_`` and ``_repr_png_``. IPython's display formatters
481 481 can also be given custom formatter functions for various types::
482 482
483 483 In [6]: ip = get_ipython()
484 484
485 485 In [7]: html_formatter = ip.display_formatter.formatters['text/html']
486 486
487 487 In [8]: html_formatter.for_type(Foo, foo_to_html)
488 488
489 489 For further details, see ``IPython.core.formatters``.
490 490
491 491 Inline matplotlib graphics
492 492 ==========================
493 493
494 494 The IPython console is capable of displaying matplotlib figures inline, in SVG
495 495 or PNG format. If started with the ``pylab=inline``, then all figures are
496 496 rendered inline automatically (PNG by default). If started with ``--pylab``
497 497 or ``pylab=<your backend>``, then a GUI backend will be used, but IPython's
498 498 ``display()`` and ``getfigs()`` functions can be used to view plots inline::
499 499
500 500 In [9]: display(*getfigs()) # display all figures inline
501 501
502 502 In[10]: display(*getfigs(1,2)) # display figures 1 and 2 inline

5 5 - When generating examples for use as doctests, make sure that you have
6 pretty-printing OFF. This can be done either by starting ipython with the
7 flag '--nopprint', by setting pprint to 0 in your ipythonrc file, or by
8 interactively disabling it with %Pprint. This is required so that IPython
9 output matches that of normal Python, which is used by doctest for internal

11 11
12 12 - Do not rely on specific prompt numbers for results (such as using
13 13 '_34==True', for example). For IPython tests run via an external process the
14 14 prompt numbers may be different, and IPython tests run as normal python code

170 170
171 171 This mode is intended to make IPython behave as much as possible like a
172 172 plain Python shell, from the perspective of how its prompts, exceptions
173 173 and output look. This makes it easy to copy and paste parts of a
174 174 session into doctests. It does so by:
175 175
176 176 - Changing the prompts to the classic ``>>>`` ones.
177 177 - Changing the exception reporting mode to 'Plain'.
178 178 - Disabling pretty-printing of output.
179 179
180 180 Note that IPython also supports the pasting of code snippets that have
181 181 leading '>>>' and '...' prompts in them. This means that you can paste
182 182 doctests from files or docstrings (even if they have leading
183 183 whitespace), and the code will execute correctly. You can then use
184 184 '%history -t' to see the translated history; this will give you the
185 185 input after removal of all the leading prompts and whitespace, which
186 186 can be pasted back into an editor.
187 187
188 188 With these features, you can switch into this mode easily whenever you
189 189 need to do testing and changes to doctests, without having to leave
190 190 your existing IPython session.

233 233 """Bring up an editor and execute the resulting code.
234 234
235 235 Usage:
236 236 %edit [options] [args]
237 237
238 %edit runs IPython's editor hook. The default version of this hook is
239 set to call the __IPYTHON__.rc.editor command. This is read from your
240 environment variable $EDITOR. If this isn't found, it will default to
241 vi under Linux/Unix and to notepad under Windows. See the end of this
242 docstring for how to change the editor hook.
243
244 You can also set the value of this editor via the command line option
245 '-editor' or in your ipythonrc file. This is useful if you wish to use
246 specifically for IPython an editor different from your typical default
247 (and for Windows users who typically don't set environment variables).
238 %edit runs an external text editor. You will need to set the command for
239 this editor via the ``TerminalInteractiveShell.editor`` option in your
240 configuration file before it will work.
248 241
249 242 This command allows you to conveniently edit multi-line code right in
250 243 your IPython session.
251 244
252 245 If called without arguments, %edit opens up an empty editor with a
253 246 temporary file and will execute the contents of this file when you
254 247 close it (don't forget to save it!).
255 248
256 249
257 250 Options:
258 251
259 252 -n <number>: open the editor at a specified line number. By default,
260 253 the IPython editor hook uses the unix syntax 'editor +N filename', but
261 254 you can configure this by providing your own modified hook if your
262 255 favorite editor supports line-number specifications with a different
263 256 syntax.
264 257
265 258 -p: this will call the editor with the same data as the previous time
266 259 it was used, regardless of how long ago (in your current session) it
267 260 was.
268 261
269 262 -r: use 'raw' input. This option only applies to input taken from the
270 263 user's history. By default, the 'processed' history is used, so that
271 264 magics are loaded in their transformed version to valid Python. If
272 265 this option is given, the raw input as typed as the command line is
273 266 used instead. When you exit the editor, it will be executed by
274 267 IPython's own processor.
275 268
276 269 -x: do not execute the edited code immediately upon exit. This is
277 270 mainly useful if you are editing programs which need to be called with
278 271 command line arguments, which you can then do using %run.
279 272
280 273
281 274 Arguments:
282 275
283 276 If arguments are given, the following possibilites exist:
284 277
285 278 - The arguments are numbers or pairs of colon-separated numbers (like
286 279 1 4:8 9). These are interpreted as lines of previous input to be
287 280 loaded into the editor. The syntax is the same of the %macro command.
288 281
289 282 - If the argument doesn't start with a number, it is evaluated as a
290 283 variable and its contents loaded into the editor. You can thus edit
291 284 any string which contains python code (including the result of
292 285 previous edits).
293 286
294 287 - If the argument is the name of an object (other than a string),
295 288 IPython will try to locate the file where it was defined and open the
296 289 editor at the point where it is defined. You can use `%edit function`
297 290 to load an editor exactly at the point where 'function' is defined,
298 291 edit it and have the file be executed automatically.
299 292
300 293 If the object is a macro (see %macro for details), this opens up your
301 294 specified editor with a temporary file containing the macro's data.
302 295 Upon exit, the macro is reloaded with the contents of the file.
303 296
304 297 Note: opening at an exact line is only supported under Unix, and some
305 298 editors (like kedit and gedit up to Gnome 2.8) do not understand the
306 299 '+NUMBER' parameter necessary for this feature. Good editors like
307 300 (X)Emacs, vi, jed, pico and joe all do.
308 301
309 302 - If the argument is not found as a variable, IPython will look for a
310 303 file with that name (adding .py if necessary) and load it into the
311 304 editor. It will execute its contents with execfile() when you exit,
312 305 loading any code in the file into your interactive namespace.
313 306
314 307 After executing your code, %edit will return as output the code you
315 308 typed in the editor (except when it was an existing file). This way
316 309 you can reload the code in further invocations of %edit as a variable,
317 310 via _<NUMBER> or Out[<NUMBER>], where <NUMBER> is the prompt number of
318 311 the output.
319 312
320 313 Note that %edit is also available through the alias %ed.
321 314
322 315 This is an example of creating a simple function inside the editor and
323 316 then modifying it. First, start up the editor:
324 317
325 318 In [1]: ed
326 319 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
327 320 Out[1]: 'def foo():n print "foo() was defined in an editing session"n'
328 321
329 322 We can then call the function foo():
330 323
331 324 In [2]: foo()
332 325 foo() was defined in an editing session
333 326
334 327 Now we edit foo. IPython automatically loads the editor with the
335 328 (temporary) file where foo() was previously defined:
336 329
337 330 In [3]: ed foo
338 331 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
339 332
340 333 And if we call foo() again we get the modified version:
341 334
342 335 In [4]: foo()
343 336 foo() has now been changed!
344 337
345 338 Here is an example of how to edit a code snippet successive
346 339 times. First we call the editor:
347 340
348 341 In [5]: ed
349 342 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
350 343 hello
351 344 Out[5]: "print 'hello'n"
352 345
353 346 Now we call it again with the previous output (stored in _):
354 347
355 348 In [6]: ed _
356 349 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
357 350 hello world
358 351 Out[6]: "print 'hello world'n"
359 352
360 353 Now we call it with the output #8 (stored in _8, also as Out[8]):
361 354
362 355 In [7]: ed _8
363 356 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
364 357 hello again
365 358 Out[7]: "print 'hello again'n"
366
367
368 Changing the default editor hook:
369
370 If you wish to write your own editor hook, you can put it in a
371 configuration file which you load at startup time. The default hook
372 is defined in the IPython.core.hooks module, and you can use that as a
373 starting example for further modifications. That file also has
374 general instructions on how to set a new hook for use once you've
375 defined it."""

24 users, this will be $HOME/.config/ipython, and for other users it will be
25 $HOME/.ipython. For Windows users, $HOME resolves to C:\\Documents and
22 your configuration files for details on those. There are separate configuration
23 files for each profile, and the files look like "ipython_config.py" or
24 "ipython_config_<frontendname>.py". Profile directories look like
25 "profile_profilename" and are typically installed in the IPYTHON_DIR directory.
26 For Linux users, this will be $HOME/.config/ipython, and for other users it
27 will be $HOME/.ipython. For Windows users, $HOME resolves to C:\\Documents and
26 28 Settings\\YourUserName in most instances.

29 31 Eventloop integration
30 32 ---------------------
31 33
32 34 Previously IPython had command line options for controlling GUI event loop
33 35 integration (-gthread, -qthread, -q4thread, -wthread, -pylab). As of IPython
34 36 version 0.11, these have been removed. Please see the new ``%gui``
35 37 magic command or :ref:`this section <gui_support>` for details on the new
36 38 interface, or specify the gui at the commandline::
37 39
38 40 $ ipython --gui=qt
39 41
40 42
41 43 Regular Options
42 44 ---------------
43 45
44 46 After the above threading options have been given, regular options can
45 47 follow in any order. All options can be abbreviated to their shortest
46 48 non-ambiguous form and are case-sensitive. One or two dashes can be
47 49 used. Some options have an alternate short form, indicated after a ``|``.
48 50
49 Most options can also be set from your ipythonrc configuration file. See
50 the provided example for more details on what the options do. Options
51 given at the command line override the values set in the ipythonrc file.
51 Most options can also be set from your configuration file. See the provided
52 example for more details on what the options do. Options given at the command
53 line override the values set in the configuration file.
52 54
53 55 All options with a [no] prepended can be specified in negated form
54 56 (--no-option instead of --option) to turn the feature off.
55 57
56 58 ``-h, --help`` print a help message and exit.
57 59
58 60 ``--pylab, pylab=<name>``
59 61 See :ref:`Matplotlib support <matplotlib_support>`
60 62 for more details.
61 63
62 64 ``--autocall=<val>``
63 65 Make IPython automatically call any callable object even if you
64 66 didn't type explicit parentheses. For example, 'str 43' becomes
65 67 'str(43)' automatically. The value can be '0' to disable the feature,
66 68 '1' for smart autocall, where it is not applied if there are no more
67 69 arguments on the line, and '2' for full autocall, where all callable
68 70 objects are automatically called (even if no arguments are
69 71 present). The default is '1'.
70 72
71 73 ``--[no-]autoindent``
72 74 Turn automatic indentation on/off.
73 75
74 76 ``--[no-]automagic``
75 77 make magic commands automatic (without needing their first character
76 78 to be %). Type %magic at the IPython prompt for more information.
77 79
78 80 ``--[no-]autoedit_syntax``
79 81 When a syntax error occurs after editing a file, automatically
80 82 open the file to the trouble causing line for convenient
81 83 fixing.
82 84
83 85 ``--[no-]banner``
84 86 Print the initial information banner (default on).
85 87
86 88 ``-c <command>``
87 89 execute the given command string. This is similar to the -c
88 90 option in the normal Python interpreter.
89 91
90 92 ``--cache-size=<n>``
91 93 size of the output cache (maximum number of entries to hold in
92 94 memory). The default is 1000, you can change it permanently in your
93 95 config file. Setting it to 0 completely disables the caching system,
94 96 and the minimum value accepted is 20 (if you provide a value less than
95 97 20, it is reset to 0 and a warning is issued) This limit is defined
96 98 because otherwise you'll spend more time re-flushing a too small cache
97 99 than working.
98 100
99 101 ``--classic``
100 102 Gives IPython a similar feel to the classic Python
101 103 prompt.
102 104
103 105 ``--colors=<scheme>``
104 106 Color scheme for prompts and exception reporting. Currently
105 107 implemented: NoColor, Linux and LightBG.
106 108
107 109 ``--[no-]color_info``
108 110 IPython can display information about objects via a set of functions,
109 111 and optionally can use colors for this, syntax highlighting source
110 112 code and various other elements. However, because this information is
111 113 passed through a pager (like 'less') and many pagers get confused with
112 114 color codes, this option is off by default. You can test it and turn
113 it on permanently in your ipythonrc file if it works for you. As a
115 it on permanently in your configuration file if it works for you. As a
114 116 reference, the 'less' pager supplied with Mandrake 8.2 works ok, but
115 117 that in RedHat 7.2 doesn't.
116 118
117 119 Test it and turn it on permanently if it works with your
118 120 system. The magic function %color_info allows you to toggle this
119 121 interactively for testing.
120 122
121 123 ``--[no-]debug``
122 124 Show information about the loading process. Very useful to pin down
123 125 problems with your configuration files or to get details about
124 126 session restores.
125 127
126 128 ``--[no-]deep_reload``
127 129 IPython can use the deep_reload module which reloads changes in
128 130 modules recursively (it replaces the reload() function, so you don't
129 131 need to change anything to use it). deep_reload() forces a full
130 132 reload of modules whose code may have changed, which the default
131 133 reload() function does not.
132 134
133 135 When deep_reload is off, IPython will use the normal reload(),
134 136 but deep_reload will still be available as dreload(). This
135 137 feature is off by default [which means that you have both
136 138 normal reload() and dreload()].
137 139
138 140 ``--editor=<name>``
139 141 Which editor to use with the %edit command. By default,
140 142 IPython will honor your EDITOR environment variable (if not
141 143 set, vi is the Unix default and notepad the Windows one).
142 144 Since this editor is invoked on the fly by IPython and is
143 145 meant for editing small code snippets, you may want to use a
144 146 small, lightweight editor here (in case your default EDITOR is
145 147 something like Emacs).
146 148
147 149 ``--ipython_dir=<name>``
148 150 name of your IPython configuration directory IPYTHON_DIR. This
149 151 can also be specified through the environment variable
150 152 IPYTHON_DIR.
151 153
152 154 ``--logfile=<name>``
153 155 specify the name of your logfile.
154 156
155 157 This implies ``%logstart`` at the beginning of your session
156 158
157 159 generate a log file of all input. The file is named
158 160 ipython_log.py in your current directory (which prevents logs
159 161 from multiple IPython sessions from trampling each other). You
160 162 can use this to later restore a session by loading your
161 163 logfile with ``ipython -i ipython_log.py``
162 164
163 165 ``--logplay=<name>``
164 166
165 167 NOT AVAILABLE in 0.11
166 168
167 169 you can replay a previous log. For restoring a session as close as
168 170 possible to the state you left it in, use this option (don't just run
169 171 the logfile). With -logplay, IPython will try to reconstruct the
170 172 previous working environment in full, not just execute the commands in
171 173 the logfile.
172 174
173 175 When a session is restored, logging is automatically turned on
174 176 again with the name of the logfile it was invoked with (it is
175 177 read from the log header). So once you've turned logging on for
176 178 a session, you can quit IPython and reload it as many times as
177 179 you want and it will continue to log its history and restore
178 180 from the beginning every time.
179 181
180 182 Caveats: there are limitations in this option. The history
181 183 variables _i*,_* and _dh don't get restored properly. In the
182 184 future we will try to implement full session saving by writing
183 185 and retrieving a 'snapshot' of the memory state of IPython. But
184 186 our first attempts failed because of inherent limitations of
185 187 Python's Pickle module, so this may have to wait.
186 188
187 189 ``--[no-]messages``
188 190 Print messages which IPython collects about its startup
189 191 process (default on).
190 192
191 193 ``--[no-]pdb``
192 194 Automatically call the pdb debugger after every uncaught
193 195 exception. If you are used to debugging using pdb, this puts
194 196 you automatically inside of it after any call (either in
195 197 IPython or in code called by it) which triggers an exception
196 198 which goes uncaught.
197 199
198 200 ``--[no-]pprint``
199 201 ipython can optionally use the pprint (pretty printer) module
200 202 for displaying results. pprint tends to give a nicer display
201 203 of nested data structures. If you like it, you can turn it on
202 204 permanently in your config file (default off).
203 205
204 206 ``--profile=<name>``
205 207
206 208 Select the IPython profile by name.
207 209
208 210 This is a quick way to keep and load multiple
209 211 config files for different tasks, especially if you use the
210 212 include option of config files. You can keep a basic
211 213 :file:`IPYTHON_DIR/profile_default/ipython_config.py` file
212 214 and then have other 'profiles' which
213 215 include this one and load extra things for particular
214 216 tasks. For example:
215 217
216 218 1. $IPYTHON_DIR/profile_default : load basic things you always want.
217 219 2. $IPYTHON_DIR/profile_math : load (1) and basic math-related modules.
218 220 3. $IPYTHON_DIR/profile_numeric : load (1) and Numeric and plotting modules.
219 221
220 222 Since it is possible to create an endless loop by having
221 223 circular file inclusions, IPython will stop if it reaches 15
222 224 recursive inclusions.
223 225
224 226 ``InteractiveShell.prompt_in1=<string>``
225 227
226 228 Specify the string used for input prompts. Note that if you are using
227 229 numbered prompts, the number is represented with a '\#' in the
228 230 string. Don't forget to quote strings with spaces embedded in
229 231 them. Default: 'In [\#]:'. The :ref:`prompts section <prompts>`
230 232 discusses in detail all the available escapes to customize your
231 233 prompts.
232 234
233 235 ``InteractiveShell.prompt_in2=<string>``
234 236 Similar to the previous option, but used for the continuation
235 237 prompts. The special sequence '\D' is similar to '\#', but
236 238 with all digits replaced dots (so you can have your
237 239 continuation prompt aligned with your input prompt). Default:
238 240 ' .\D.:' (note three spaces at the start for alignment with
239 241 'In [\#]').
240 242
241 243 ``InteractiveShell.prompt_out=<string>``
242 244 String used for output prompts, also uses numbers like
243 245 prompt_in1. Default: 'Out[\#]:'
244 246
245 247 ``--quick``
246 248 start in bare bones mode (no config file loaded).
247 249
248 250 ``config_file=<name>``
249 251 name of your IPython resource configuration file. Normally
250 252 IPython loads ipython_config.py (from current directory) or
251 253 IPYTHON_DIR/profile_default.
252 254
253 255 If the loading of your config file fails, IPython starts with
254 256 a bare bones configuration (no modules loaded at all).
255 257
256 258 ``--[no-]readline``
257 259 use the readline library, which is needed to support name
258 260 completion and command history, among other things. It is
259 261 enabled by default, but may cause problems for users of
260 262 X/Emacs in Python comint or shell buffers.
261 263
262 264 Note that X/Emacs 'eterm' buffers (opened with M-x term) support
263 265 IPython's readline and syntax coloring fine, only 'emacs' (M-x
264 266 shell and C-c !) buffers do not.
265 267
266 268 ``--TerminalInteractiveShell.screen_length=<n>``
267 269 number of lines of your screen. This is used to control
268 270 printing of very long strings. Strings longer than this number
269 271 of lines will be sent through a pager instead of directly
270 272 printed.
271 273
272 274 The default value for this is 0, which means IPython will
273 275 auto-detect your screen size every time it needs to print certain
274 276 potentially long strings (this doesn't change the behavior of the
275 277 'print' keyword, it's only triggered internally). If for some
276 278 reason this isn't working well (it needs curses support), specify
277 279 it yourself. Otherwise don't change the default.
278 280
279 281 ``--TerminalInteractiveShell.separate_in=<string>``
280 282
281 283 separator before input prompts.
282 284 Default: '\n'
283 285
284 286 ``--TerminalInteractiveShell.separate_out=<string>``
285 287 separator before output prompts.
286 288 Default: nothing.
287 289
288 290 ``--TerminalInteractiveShell.separate_out2=<string>``
289 291 separator after output prompts.
290 292 Default: nothing.
291 293 For these three options, use the value 0 to specify no separator.
292 294
293 295 ``--nosep``
294 296 shorthand for setting the above separators to empty strings.
295 297
296 298 Simply removes all input/output separators.
297 299
298 300 ``--init``
299 301 allows you to initialize a profile dir for configuration when you
300 302 install a new version of IPython or want to use a new profile.
301 303 Since new versions may include new command line options or example
302 304 files, this copies updated config files. Note that you should probably
303 305 use %upgrade instead,it's a safer alternative.
304 306
305 307 ``--version`` print version information and exit.
306 308
307 309 ``--xmode=<modename>``
308 310
309 311 Mode for exception reporting.
310 312
311 313 Valid modes: Plain, Context and Verbose.
312 314
313 315 * Plain: similar to python's normal traceback printing.
314 316 * Context: prints 5 lines of context source code around each
315 317 line in the traceback.
316 318 * Verbose: similar to Context, but additionally prints the
317 319 variables currently visible where the exception happened
318 320 (shortening their strings if too long). This can potentially be
319 321 very slow, if you happen to have a huge data structure whose
320 322 string representation is complex to compute. Your computer may
321 323 appear to freeze for a while with cpu usage at 100%. If this
322 324 occurs, you can cancel the traceback with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it
323 325 more than once).
324 326
325 327 Interactive use
326 328 ===============
327 329
328 330 IPython is meant to work as a drop-in replacement for the standard interactive
329 331 interpreter. As such, any code which is valid python should execute normally
330 332 under IPython (cases where this is not true should be reported as bugs). It
331 333 does, however, offer many features which are not available at a standard python
332 334 prompt. What follows is a list of these.
333 335
334 336
335 337 Caution for Windows users
336 338 -------------------------
337 339
338 340 Windows, unfortunately, uses the '\\' character as a path separator. This is a
339 341 terrible choice, because '\\' also represents the escape character in most
340 342 modern programming languages, including Python. For this reason, using '/'
341 343 character is recommended if you have problems with ``\``. However, in Windows
342 344 commands '/' flags options, so you can not use it for the root directory. This
343 345 means that paths beginning at the root must be typed in a contrived manner
344 346 like: ``%copy \opt/foo/bar.txt \tmp``
345 347
346 348 .. _magic:
347 349
348 350 Magic command system
349 351 --------------------
350 352
351 353 IPython will treat any line whose first character is a % as a special
352 354 call to a 'magic' function. These allow you to control the behavior of
353 355 IPython itself, plus a lot of system-type features. They are all
354 356 prefixed with a % character, but parameters are given without
355 357 parentheses or quotes.
356 358
357 359 Example: typing ``%cd mydir`` changes your working directory to 'mydir', if it
358 360 exists.
359 361
360 362 If you have 'automagic' enabled (as it by default), you don't need
361 363 to type in the % explicitly. IPython will scan its internal list of
362 364 magic functions and call one if it exists. With automagic on you can
363 365 then just type ``cd mydir`` to go to directory 'mydir'. The automagic
364 366 system has the lowest possible precedence in name searches, so defining
365 367 an identifier with the same name as an existing magic function will
366 368 shadow it for automagic use. You can still access the shadowed magic
367 369 function by explicitly using the % character at the beginning of the line.
368 370
369 371 An example (with automagic on) should clarify all this:
370 372
371 373 .. sourcecode:: ipython
372 374
373 375 In [1]: cd ipython # %cd is called by automagic
374 376
375 377 /home/fperez/ipython
376 378
377 379 In [2]: cd=1 # now cd is just a variable
378 380
379 381 In [3]: cd .. # and doesn't work as a function anymore
380 382
381 383 ------------------------------
382 384
383 385 File "<console>", line 1
384 386
385 387 cd ..
386 388
387 389 ^
388 390
389 391 SyntaxError: invalid syntax
390 392
391 393 In [4]: %cd .. # but %cd always works
392 394
393 395 /home/fperez
394 396
395 397 In [5]: del cd # if you remove the cd variable
396 398
397 399 In [6]: cd ipython # automagic can work again
398 400
399 401 /home/fperez/ipython
400 402
401 403 You can define your own magic functions to extend the system. The
402 404 following example defines a new magic command, %impall:
403 405
404 406 .. sourcecode:: python
405 407
406 408 ip = get_ipython()
407 409
408 410 def doimp(self, arg):
409 411
410 412 ip = self.api
411 413
412 414 ip.ex("import %s; reload(%s); from %s import *" % (
413 415
414 416 arg,arg,arg)
415 417
416 418 )
417 419
418 420 ip.expose_magic('impall', doimp)
419 421
420 422 Type `%magic` for more information, including a list of all available magic
421 423 functions at any time and their docstrings. You can also type
422 424 %magic_function_name? (see :ref:`below <dynamic_object_info` for information on
423 425 the '?' system) to get information about any particular magic function you are
424 426 interested in.
425 427
426 428 The API documentation for the :mod:`IPython.core.magic` module contains the full
427 429 docstrings of all currently available magic commands.
428 430
429 431
430 432 Access to the standard Python help
431 433 ----------------------------------
432 434
433 435 As of Python 2.1, a help system is available with access to object docstrings
434 436 and the Python manuals. Simply type 'help' (no quotes) to access it. You can
435 437 also type help(object) to obtain information about a given object, and
436 438 help('keyword') for information on a keyword. As noted :ref:`here
437 439 <accessing_help>`, you need to properly configure your environment variable
438 440 PYTHONDOCS for this feature to work correctly.
439 441
440 442 .. _dynamic_object_info:
441 443
442 444 Dynamic object information
443 445 --------------------------
444 446
445 447 Typing ``?word`` or ``word?`` prints detailed information about an object. If
446 448 certain strings in the object are too long (docstrings, code, etc.) they get
447 449 snipped in the center for brevity. This system gives access variable types and
448 450 values, full source code for any object (if available), function prototypes and
449 451 other useful information.
450 452
451 453 Typing ``??word`` or ``word??`` gives access to the full information without
452 454 snipping long strings. Long strings are sent to the screen through the
453 455 less pager if longer than the screen and printed otherwise. On systems
454 456 lacking the less command, IPython uses a very basic internal pager.
455 457
456 458 The following magic functions are particularly useful for gathering
457 459 information about your working environment. You can get more details by
458 460 typing ``%magic`` or querying them individually (use %function_name? with or
459 461 without the %), this is just a summary:
460 462
461 463 * **%pdoc <object>**: Print (or run through a pager if too long) the
462 464 docstring for an object. If the given object is a class, it will
463 465 print both the class and the constructor docstrings.
464 466 * **%pdef <object>**: Print the definition header for any callable
465 467 object. If the object is a class, print the constructor information.
466 468 * **%psource <object>**: Print (or run through a pager if too long)
467 469 the source code for an object.
468 470 * **%pfile <object>**: Show the entire source file where an object was
469 471 defined via a pager, opening it at the line where the object
470 472 definition begins.
471 473 * **%who/%whos**: These functions give information about identifiers
472 474 you have defined interactively (not things you loaded or defined
473 475 in your configuration files). %who just prints a list of
474 476 identifiers and %whos prints a table with some basic details about
475 477 each identifier.
476 478
477 479 Note that the dynamic object information functions (?/??, ``%pdoc``,
478 480 ``%pfile``, ``%pdef``, ``%psource``) give you access to documentation even on
479 481 things which are not really defined as separate identifiers. Try for example
480 482 typing {}.get? or after doing import os, type ``os.path.abspath??``.
481 483
482 484 .. _readline:
483 485
484 486 Readline-based features
485 487 -----------------------
486 488
487 489 These features require the GNU readline library, so they won't work if your
488 490 Python installation lacks readline support. We will first describe the default
489 491 behavior IPython uses, and then how to change it to suit your preferences.
490 492
491 493
492 494 Command line completion
493 495 +++++++++++++++++++++++
494 496
495 497 At any time, hitting TAB will complete any available python commands or
496 498 variable names, and show you a list of the possible completions if
497 499 there's no unambiguous one. It will also complete filenames in the
498 500 current directory if no python names match what you've typed so far.
499 501
500 502
501 503 Search command history
502 504 ++++++++++++++++++++++
503 505
504 506 IPython provides two ways for searching through previous input and thus
505 507 reduce the need for repetitive typing:
506 508
507 509 1. Start typing, and then use Ctrl-p (previous,up) and Ctrl-n
508 510 (next,down) to search through only the history items that match
509 511 what you've typed so far. If you use Ctrl-p/Ctrl-n at a blank
510 512 prompt, they just behave like normal arrow keys.
511 513 2. Hit Ctrl-r: opens a search prompt. Begin typing and the system
512 514 searches your history for lines that contain what you've typed so
513 515 far, completing as much as it can.
514 516
515 517
516 518 Persistent command history across sessions
517 519 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
518 520
519 521 IPython will save your input history when it leaves and reload it next
520 522 time you restart it. By default, the history file is named
521 523 $IPYTHON_DIR/profile_<name>/history.sqlite. This allows you to keep
522 524 separate histories related to various tasks: commands related to
523 525 numerical work will not be clobbered by a system shell history, for
524 526 example.
525 527
526 528
527 529 Autoindent
528 530 ++++++++++
529 531
530 532 IPython can recognize lines ending in ':' and indent the next line,
531 533 while also un-indenting automatically after 'raise' or 'return'.
532 534
533 535 This feature uses the readline library, so it will honor your
534 536 :file:`~/.inputrc` configuration (or whatever file your INPUTRC variable points
535 537 to). Adding the following lines to your :file:`.inputrc` file can make
536 538 indenting/unindenting more convenient (M-i indents, M-u unindents)::
537 539
538 540 $if Python
539 541 "\M-i": " "
540 542 "\M-u": "\d\d\d\d"
541 543 $endif
542 544
543 545 Note that there are 4 spaces between the quote marks after "M-i" above.
544 546
545 547 .. warning::
546 548
547 549 Setting the above indents will cause problems with unicode text entry in
548 550 the terminal.
549 551
550 552 .. warning::
551 553
552 554 Autoindent is ON by default, but it can cause problems with the pasting of
553 555 multi-line indented code (the pasted code gets re-indented on each line). A
554 556 magic function %autoindent allows you to toggle it on/off at runtime. You
555 557 can also disable it permanently on in your :file:`ipython_config.py` file
556 558 (set TerminalInteractiveShell.autoindent=False).
557 559
558 560 If you want to paste multiple lines, it is recommended that you use
559 561 ``%paste``.
560 562
561 563
562 564 Customizing readline behavior
563 565 +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
564 566
565 567 All these features are based on the GNU readline library, which has an
566 568 extremely customizable interface. Normally, readline is configured via a
567 569 file which defines the behavior of the library; the details of the
568 570 syntax for this can be found in the readline documentation available
569 571 with your system or on the Internet. IPython doesn't read this file (if
570 572 it exists) directly, but it does support passing to readline valid
571 573 options via a simple interface. In brief, you can customize readline by
572 setting the following options in your ipythonrc configuration file (note
574 setting the following options in your configuration file (note
573 575 that these options can not be specified at the command line):
574 576
575 577 * **readline_parse_and_bind**: this option can appear as many times as
576 578 you want, each time defining a string to be executed via a
577 579 readline.parse_and_bind() command. The syntax for valid commands
578 580 of this kind can be found by reading the documentation for the GNU
579 581 readline library, as these commands are of the kind which readline
580 582 accepts in its configuration file.
581 583 * **readline_remove_delims**: a string of characters to be removed
582 584 from the default word-delimiters list used by readline, so that
583 585 completions may be performed on strings which contain them. Do not
584 586 change the default value unless you know what you're doing.
585 587 * **readline_omit__names**: when tab-completion is enabled, hitting
586 588 <tab> after a '.' in a name will complete all attributes of an
587 589 object, including all the special methods whose names include
588 590 double underscores (like __getitem__ or __class__). If you'd
589 591 rather not see these names by default, you can set this option to
590 592 1. Note that even when this option is set, you can still see those
591 593 names by explicitly typing a _ after the period and hitting <tab>:
592 594 'name._<tab>' will always complete attribute names starting with '_'.
593 595
594 596 This option is off by default so that new users see all
595 597 attributes of any objects they are dealing with.
596 598
597 You will find the default values along with a corresponding detailed
598 explanation in your ipythonrc file.
599 You will find the default values in your configuration file.
599 600
600 601
601 602 Session logging and restoring
602 603 -----------------------------
603 604
604 605 You can log all input from a session either by starting IPython with the
605 606 command line switch ``--logfile=foo.py`` (see :ref:`here <command_line_options>`)
606 607 or by activating the logging at any moment with the magic function %logstart.
607 608
608 609 Log files can later be reloaded by running them as scripts and IPython
609 610 will attempt to 'replay' the log by executing all the lines in it, thus
610 611 restoring the state of a previous session. This feature is not quite
611 612 perfect, but can still be useful in many cases.
612 613
613 614 The log files can also be used as a way to have a permanent record of
614 615 any code you wrote while experimenting. Log files are regular text files
615 616 which you can later open in your favorite text editor to extract code or
616 617 to 'clean them up' before using them to replay a session.
617 618
618 619 The `%logstart` function for activating logging in mid-session is used as
619 620 follows::
620 621
621 622 %logstart [log_name [log_mode]]
622 623
623 624 If no name is given, it defaults to a file named 'ipython_log.py' in your
624 625 current working directory, in 'rotate' mode (see below).
625 626
626 627 '%logstart name' saves to file 'name' in 'backup' mode. It saves your
627 628 history up to that point and then continues logging.
628 629
629 630 %logstart takes a second optional parameter: logging mode. This can be
630 631 one of (note that the modes are given unquoted):
631 632
632 633 * [over:] overwrite existing log_name.
633 634 * [backup:] rename (if exists) to log_name~ and start log_name.
634 635 * [append:] well, that says it.
635 636 * [rotate:] create rotating logs log_name.1~, log_name.2~, etc.
636 637
637 638 The %logoff and %logon functions allow you to temporarily stop and
638 639 resume logging to a file which had previously been started with
639 640 %logstart. They will fail (with an explanation) if you try to use them
640 641 before logging has been started.
641 642
642 643 .. _system_shell_access:
643 644
644 645 System shell access
645 646 -------------------
646 647
647 648 Any input line beginning with a ! character is passed verbatim (minus
648 649 the !, of course) to the underlying operating system. For example,
649 650 typing ``!ls`` will run 'ls' in the current directory.
650 651
651 652 Manual capture of command output
652 653 --------------------------------
653 654
654 655 If the input line begins with two exclamation marks, !!, the command is
655 656 executed but its output is captured and returned as a python list, split
656 657 on newlines. Any output sent by the subprocess to standard error is
657 658 printed separately, so that the resulting list only captures standard
658 659 output. The !! syntax is a shorthand for the %sx magic command.
659 660
660 661 Finally, the %sc magic (short for 'shell capture') is similar to %sx,
661 662 but allowing more fine-grained control of the capture details, and
662 663 storing the result directly into a named variable. The direct use of
663 664 %sc is now deprecated, and you should ise the ``var = !cmd`` syntax
664 665 instead.
665 666
666 667 IPython also allows you to expand the value of python variables when
667 668 making system calls. Any python variable or expression which you prepend
668 669 with $ will get expanded before the system call is made::
669 670
670 671 In [1]: pyvar='Hello world'
671 672 In [2]: !echo "A python variable: $pyvar"
672 673 A python variable: Hello world
673 674
674 675 If you want the shell to actually see a literal $, you need to type it
675 676 twice::
676 677
677 678 In [3]: !echo "A system variable: $$HOME"
678 679 A system variable: /home/fperez
679 680
680 681 You can pass arbitrary expressions, though you'll need to delimit them
681 682 with {} if there is ambiguity as to the extent of the expression::
682 683
683 684 In [5]: x=10
684 685 In [6]: y=20
685 686 In [13]: !echo $x+y
686 687 10+y
687 688 In [7]: !echo ${x+y}
688 689 30
689 690
690 691 Even object attributes can be expanded::
691 692
692 693 In [12]: !echo $sys.argv
693 694 [/home/fperez/usr/bin/ipython]
694 695
695 696
696 697 System command aliases
697 698 ----------------------
698 699
699 The %alias magic function and the alias option in the ipythonrc
700 configuration file allow you to define magic functions which are in fact
700 The %alias magic function allows you to define magic functions which are in fact
701 701 system shell commands. These aliases can have parameters.
702 702
703 703 ``%alias alias_name cmd`` defines 'alias_name' as an alias for 'cmd'
704 704
705 705 Then, typing ``%alias_name params`` will execute the system command 'cmd
706 706 params' (from your underlying operating system).
707 707
708 708 You can also define aliases with parameters using %s specifiers (one per
709 709 parameter). The following example defines the %parts function as an
710 710 alias to the command 'echo first %s second %s' where each %s will be
711 711 replaced by a positional parameter to the call to %parts::
712 712
713 713 In [1]: alias parts echo first %s second %s
714 714 In [2]: %parts A B
715 715 first A second B
716 716 In [3]: %parts A
717 717 Incorrect number of arguments: 2 expected.
718 718 parts is an alias to: 'echo first %s second %s'
719 719
720 720 If called with no parameters, %alias prints the table of currently
721 721 defined aliases.
722 722
723 723 The %rehashx magic allows you to load your entire $PATH as
724 724 ipython aliases. See its docstring for further details.
725 725
726 726
727 727 .. _dreload:
728 728
729 729 Recursive reload
730 730 ----------------
731 731
732 732 The dreload function does a recursive reload of a module: changes made
733 733 to the module since you imported will actually be available without
734 734 having to exit.
735 735
736 736
737 737 Verbose and colored exception traceback printouts
738 738 -------------------------------------------------
739 739
740 740 IPython provides the option to see very detailed exception tracebacks,
741 741 which can be especially useful when debugging large programs. You can
742 742 run any Python file with the %run function to benefit from these
743 743 detailed tracebacks. Furthermore, both normal and verbose tracebacks can
744 744 be colored (if your terminal supports it) which makes them much easier
745 745 to parse visually.
746 746
747 747 See the magic xmode and colors functions for details (just type %magic).
748 748
749 749 These features are basically a terminal version of Ka-Ping Yee's cgitb
750 750 module, now part of the standard Python library.
751 751
752 752
753 753 .. _input_caching:
754 754
755 755 Input caching system
756 756 --------------------
757 757
758 758 IPython offers numbered prompts (In/Out) with input and output caching
759 759 (also referred to as 'input history'). All input is saved and can be
760 760 retrieved as variables (besides the usual arrow key recall), in
761 761 addition to the %rep magic command that brings a history entry
762 762 up for editing on the next command line.
763 763
764 764 The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
765 765
766 766 * _i, _ii, _iii: store previous, next previous and next-next previous inputs.
767 767 * In, _ih : a list of all inputs; _ih[n] is the input from line n. If you
768 768 overwrite In with a variable of your own, you can remake the assignment to the
769 769 internal list with a simple ``In=_ih``.
770 770
771 771 Additionally, global variables named _i<n> are dynamically created (<n>
772 772 being the prompt counter), so ``_i<n> == _ih[<n>] == In[<n>]``.
773 773
774 774 For example, what you typed at prompt 14 is available as _i14, _ih[14]
775 775 and In[14].
776 776
777 777 This allows you to easily cut and paste multi line interactive prompts
778 778 by printing them out: they print like a clean string, without prompt
779 779 characters. You can also manipulate them like regular variables (they
780 780 are strings), modify or exec them (typing ``exec _i9`` will re-execute the
781 781 contents of input prompt 9.
782 782
783 783 You can also re-execute multiple lines of input easily by using the
784 784 magic %macro function (which automates the process and allows
785 785 re-execution without having to type 'exec' every time). The macro system
786 786 also allows you to re-execute previous lines which include magic
787 787 function calls (which require special processing). Type %macro? for more details
788 788 on the macro system.
789 789
790 790 A history function %hist allows you to see any part of your input
791 791 history by printing a range of the _i variables.
792 792
793 793 You can also search ('grep') through your history by typing
794 794 ``%hist -g somestring``. This is handy for searching for URLs, IP addresses,
795 795 etc. You can bring history entries listed by '%hist -g' up for editing
796 796 with the %recall command, or run them immediately with %rerun.
797 797
798 798 .. _output_caching:
799 799
800 800 Output caching system
801 801 ---------------------
802 802
803 803 For output that is returned from actions, a system similar to the input
804 804 cache exists but using _ instead of _i. Only actions that produce a
805 805 result (NOT assignments, for example) are cached. If you are familiar
806 806 with Mathematica, IPython's _ variables behave exactly like
807 807 Mathematica's % variables.
808 808
809 809 The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
810 810
811 811 * [_] (a single underscore) : stores previous output, like Python's
812 812 default interpreter.
813 813 * [__] (two underscores): next previous.
814 814 * [___] (three underscores): next-next previous.
815 815
816 816 Additionally, global variables named _<n> are dynamically created (<n>
817 817 being the prompt counter), such that the result of output <n> is always
818 818 available as _<n> (don't use the angle brackets, just the number, e.g.
819 819 _21).
820 820
821 821 These global variables are all stored in a global dictionary (not a
822 822 list, since it only has entries for lines which returned a result)
823 823 available under the names _oh and Out (similar to _ih and In). So the
824 824 output from line 12 can be obtained as _12, Out[12] or _oh[12]. If you
825 825 accidentally overwrite the Out variable you can recover it by typing
826 826 'Out=_oh' at the prompt.
827 827
828 828 This system obviously can potentially put heavy memory demands on your
829 829 system, since it prevents Python's garbage collector from removing any
830 830 previously computed results. You can control how many results are kept
831 in memory with the option (at the command line or in your ipythonrc
831 in memory with the option (at the command line or in your configuration
832 832 file) cache_size. If you set it to 0, the whole system is completely
833 833 disabled and the prompts revert to the classic '>>>' of normal Python.
834 834
835 835
836 836 Directory history
837 837 -----------------
838 838
839 839 Your history of visited directories is kept in the global list _dh, and
840 840 the magic %cd command can be used to go to any entry in that list. The
841 841 %dhist command allows you to view this history. Do ``cd -<TAB>`` to
842 842 conveniently view the directory history.
843 843
844 844
845 845 Automatic parentheses and quotes
846 846 --------------------------------
847 847
848 848 These features were adapted from Nathan Gray's LazyPython. They are
849 849 meant to allow less typing for common situations.
850 850
851 851
852 852 Automatic parentheses
853 853 ---------------------
854 854
855 855 Callable objects (i.e. functions, methods, etc) can be invoked like this
856 856 (notice the commas between the arguments)::
857 857
858 858 >>> callable_ob arg1, arg2, arg3
859 859
860 860 and the input will be translated to this::
861 861
862 862 -> callable_ob(arg1, arg2, arg3)
863 863
864 864 You can force automatic parentheses by using '/' as the first character
865 865 of a line. For example::
866 866
867 867 >>> /globals # becomes 'globals()'
868 868
869 869 Note that the '/' MUST be the first character on the line! This won't work::
870 870
871 871 >>> print /globals # syntax error
872 872
873 873 In most cases the automatic algorithm should work, so you should rarely
874 874 need to explicitly invoke /. One notable exception is if you are trying
875 875 to call a function with a list of tuples as arguments (the parenthesis
876 876 will confuse IPython)::
877 877
878 878 In [1]: zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6) # won't work
879 879
880 880 but this will work::
881 881
882 882 In [2]: /zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6)
883 883 ---> zip ((1,2,3),(4,5,6))
884 884 Out[2]= [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
885 885
886 886 IPython tells you that it has altered your command line by displaying
887 887 the new command line preceded by ->. e.g.::
888 888
889 889 In [18]: callable list
890 890 ----> callable (list)
891 891
892 892
893 893 Automatic quoting
894 894 -----------------
895 895
896 896 You can force automatic quoting of a function's arguments by using ','
897 897 or ';' as the first character of a line. For example::
898 898
899 899 >>> ,my_function /home/me # becomes my_function("/home/me")
900 900
901 901 If you use ';' instead, the whole argument is quoted as a single string
902 902 (while ',' splits on whitespace)::
903 903
904 904 >>> ,my_function a b c # becomes my_function("a","b","c")
905 905
906 906 >>> ;my_function a b c # becomes my_function("a b c")
907 907
908 908 Note that the ',' or ';' MUST be the first character on the line! This
909 909 won't work::
910 910
911 911 >>> x = ,my_function /home/me # syntax error
912 912
913 913 IPython as your default Python environment
914 914 ==========================================
915 915
916 916 Python honors the environment variable PYTHONSTARTUP and will execute at
917 917 startup the file referenced by this variable. If you put at the end of
918 918 this file the following two lines of code::
919 919
920 920 from IPython.frontend.terminal.ipapp import launch_new_instance
921 921 launch_new_instance()
922 922 raise SystemExit
923 923
924 924 then IPython will be your working environment anytime you start Python.
925 925 The ``raise SystemExit`` is needed to exit Python when
926 926 it finishes, otherwise you'll be back at the normal Python '>>>'
927 927 prompt.
928 928
929 929 This is probably useful to developers who manage multiple Python
930 930 versions and don't want to have correspondingly multiple IPython
931 931 versions. Note that in this mode, there is no way to pass IPython any
932 932 command-line options, as those are trapped first by Python itself.
933 933
934 934 .. _Embedding:
935 935
936 936 Embedding IPython
937 937 =================
938 938
939 939 It is possible to start an IPython instance inside your own Python
940 940 programs. This allows you to evaluate dynamically the state of your
941 941 code, operate with your variables, analyze them, etc. Note however that
942 942 any changes you make to values while in the shell do not propagate back
943 943 to the running code, so it is safe to modify your values because you
944 944 won't break your code in bizarre ways by doing so.
945 945
946 946 This feature allows you to easily have a fully functional python
947 947 environment for doing object introspection anywhere in your code with a
948 948 simple function call. In some cases a simple print statement is enough,
949 949 but if you need to do more detailed analysis of a code fragment this
950 950 feature can be very valuable.
951 951
952 952 It can also be useful in scientific computing situations where it is
953 953 common to need to do some automatic, computationally intensive part and
954 954 then stop to look at data, plots, etc.
955 955 Opening an IPython instance will give you full access to your data and
956 956 functions, and you can resume program execution once you are done with
957 957 the interactive part (perhaps to stop again later, as many times as
958 958 needed).
959 959
960 960 The following code snippet is the bare minimum you need to include in
961 961 your Python programs for this to work (detailed examples follow later)::
962 962
963 963 from IPython import embed
964 964
965 965 embed() # this call anywhere in your program will start IPython
966 966
967 967 You can run embedded instances even in code which is itself being run at
968 968 the IPython interactive prompt with '%run <filename>'. Since it's easy
969 969 to get lost as to where you are (in your top-level IPython or in your
970 970 embedded one), it's a good idea in such cases to set the in/out prompts
971 971 to something different for the embedded instances. The code examples
972 972 below illustrate this.
973 973
974 974 You can also have multiple IPython instances in your program and open
975 975 them separately, for example with different options for data
976 976 presentation. If you close and open the same instance multiple times,
977 977 its prompt counters simply continue from each execution to the next.
978 978
979 979 Please look at the docstrings in the :mod:`~IPython.frontend.terminal.embed`
980 980 module for more details on the use of this system.
981 981
982 982 The following sample file illustrating how to use the embedding
983 983 functionality is provided in the examples directory as example-embed.py.
984 984 It should be fairly self-explanatory:
985 985
986 986 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/core/example-embed.py
987 987 :language: python
988 988
989 989 Once you understand how the system functions, you can use the following
990 990 code fragments in your programs which are ready for cut and paste:
991 991
992 992 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/core/example-embed-short.py
993 993 :language: python
994 994
995 995 Using the Python debugger (pdb)
996 996 ===============================
997 997
998 998 Running entire programs via pdb
999 999 -------------------------------
1000 1000
1001 1001 pdb, the Python debugger, is a powerful interactive debugger which
1002 1002 allows you to step through code, set breakpoints, watch variables,
1003 1003 etc. IPython makes it very easy to start any script under the control
1004 1004 of pdb, regardless of whether you have wrapped it into a 'main()'
1005 1005 function or not. For this, simply type '%run -d myscript' at an
1006 1006 IPython prompt. See the %run command's documentation (via '%run?' or
1007 1007 in Sec. magic_ for more details, including how to control where pdb
1008 1008 will stop execution first.
1009 1009
1010 1010 For more information on the use of the pdb debugger, read the included
1011 1011 pdb.doc file (part of the standard Python distribution). On a stock
1012 1012 Linux system it is located at /usr/lib/python2.3/pdb.doc, but the
1013 1013 easiest way to read it is by using the help() function of the pdb module
1014 1014 as follows (in an IPython prompt)::
1015 1015
1016 1016 In [1]: import pdb
1017 1017 In [2]: pdb.help()
1018 1018
1019 1019 This will load the pdb.doc document in a file viewer for you automatically.
1020 1020
1021 1021
1022 1022 Automatic invocation of pdb on exceptions
1023 1023 -----------------------------------------
1024 1024
1025 1025 IPython, if started with the -pdb option (or if the option is set in
1026 1026 your rc file) can call the Python pdb debugger every time your code
1027 1027 triggers an uncaught exception. This feature
1028 1028 can also be toggled at any time with the %pdb magic command. This can be
1029 1029 extremely useful in order to find the origin of subtle bugs, because pdb
1030 1030 opens up at the point in your code which triggered the exception, and
1031 1031 while your program is at this point 'dead', all the data is still
1032 1032 available and you can walk up and down the stack frame and understand
1033 1033 the origin of the problem.
1034 1034
1035 1035 Furthermore, you can use these debugging facilities both with the
1036 1036 embedded IPython mode and without IPython at all. For an embedded shell
1037 1037 (see sec. Embedding_), simply call the constructor with
1038 1038 '--pdb' in the argument string and automatically pdb will be called if an
1039 1039 uncaught exception is triggered by your code.
1040 1040
1041 1041 For stand-alone use of the feature in your programs which do not use
1042 1042 IPython at all, put the following lines toward the top of your 'main'
1043 1043 routine::
1044 1044
1045 1045 import sys
1046 1046 from IPython.core import ultratb
1047 1047 sys.excepthook = ultratb.FormattedTB(mode='Verbose',
1048 1048 color_scheme='Linux', call_pdb=1)
1049 1049
1050 1050 The mode keyword can be either 'Verbose' or 'Plain', giving either very
1051 1051 detailed or normal tracebacks respectively. The color_scheme keyword can
1052 1052 be one of 'NoColor', 'Linux' (default) or 'LightBG'. These are the same
1053 1053 options which can be set in IPython with -colors and -xmode.
1054 1054
1055 1055 This will give any of your programs detailed, colored tracebacks with
1056 1056 automatic invocation of pdb.
1057 1057
1058 1058
1059 1059 Extensions for syntax processing
1060 1060 ================================
1061 1061
1062 1062 This isn't for the faint of heart, because the potential for breaking
1063 1063 things is quite high. But it can be a very powerful and useful feature.
1064 1064 In a nutshell, you can redefine the way IPython processes the user input
1065 1065 line to accept new, special extensions to the syntax without needing to
1066 1066 change any of IPython's own code.
1067 1067
1068 1068 In the IPython/extensions directory you will find some examples
1069 1069 supplied, which we will briefly describe now. These can be used 'as is'
1070 1070 (and both provide very useful functionality), or you can use them as a
1071 1071 starting point for writing your own extensions.
1072 1072
1073 1073 .. _pasting_with_prompts:
1074 1074
1075 1075 Pasting of code starting with Python or IPython prompts
1076 1076 -------------------------------------------------------
1077 1077
1078 1078 IPython is smart enough to filter out input prompts, be they plain Python ones
1079 1079 (``>>>`` and ``...``) or IPython ones (``In [N]:`` and `` ...:``). You can
1080 1080 therefore copy and paste from existing interactive sessions without worry.
1081 1081
1082 1082 The following is a 'screenshot' of how things work, copying an example from the
1083 1083 standard Python tutorial::
1084 1084
1085 1085 In [1]: >>> # Fibonacci series:
1086 1086
1087 1087 In [2]: ... # the sum of two elements defines the next
1088 1088
1089 1089 In [3]: ... a, b = 0, 1
1090 1090
1091 1091 In [4]: >>> while b < 10:
1092 1092 ...: ... print b
1093 1093 ...: ... a, b = b, a+b
1094 1094 ...:
1095 1095 1
1096 1096 1
1097 1097 2
1098 1098 3
1099 1099 5
1100 1100 8
1101 1101
1102 1102 And pasting from IPython sessions works equally well::
1103 1103
1104 1104 In [1]: In [5]: def f(x):
1105 1105 ...: ...: "A simple function"
1106 1106 ...: ...: return x**2
1107 1107 ...: ...:
1108 1108
1109 1109 In [2]: f(3)
1110 1110 Out[2]: 9
1111 1111
1112 1112 .. _gui_support:
1113 1113
1114 1114 GUI event loop support
1115 1115 ======================
1116 1116
1117 1117 .. versionadded:: 0.11
1118 1118 The ``%gui`` magic and :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook`.
1119 1119
1120 1120 .. warning::
1121 1121
1122 1122 All GUI support with the ``%gui`` magic, described in this section, applies
1123 1123 only to the plain terminal IPython, *not* to the Qt console. The Qt console
1124 1124 currently only supports GUI interaction via the ``--pylab`` flag, as
1125 1125 explained :ref:`in the matplotlib section <matplotlib_support>`.
1126 1126
1127 1127 We intend to correct this limitation as soon as possible, you can track our
1128 1128 progress at issue #643_.
1129 1129
1130 1130 .. _643: https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/643
1131 1131
1132 1132 IPython has excellent support for working interactively with Graphical User
1133 1133 Interface (GUI) toolkits, such as wxPython, PyQt4, PyGTK and Tk. This is
1134 1134 implemented using Python's builtin ``PyOSInputHook`` hook. This implementation
1135 1135 is extremely robust compared to our previous thread-based version. The
1136 1136 advantages of this are:
1137 1137
1138 1138 * GUIs can be enabled and disabled dynamically at runtime.
1139 1139 * The active GUI can be switched dynamically at runtime.
1140 1140 * In some cases, multiple GUIs can run simultaneously with no problems.
1141 1141 * There is a developer API in :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook` for customizing
1142 1142 all of these things.
1143 1143
1144 1144 For users, enabling GUI event loop integration is simple. You simple use the
1145 1145 ``%gui`` magic as follows::
1146 1146
1147 1147 %gui [GUINAME]
1148 1148
1149 1149 With no arguments, ``%gui`` removes all GUI support. Valid ``GUINAME``
1150 1150 arguments are ``wx``, ``qt4``, ``gtk`` and ``tk``.
1151 1151
1152 1152 Thus, to use wxPython interactively and create a running :class:`wx.App`
1153 1153 object, do::
1154 1154
1155 1155 %gui wx
1156 1156
1157 1157 For information on IPython's Matplotlib integration (and the ``pylab`` mode)
1158 1158 see :ref:`this section <matplotlib_support>`.
1159 1159
1160 1160 For developers that want to use IPython's GUI event loop integration in the
1161 1161 form of a library, these capabilities are exposed in library form in the
1162 1162 :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook` and :mod:`IPython.lib.guisupport` modules.
1163 1163 Interested developers should see the module docstrings for more information,
1164 1164 but there are a few points that should be mentioned here.
1165 1165
1166 1166 First, the ``PyOSInputHook`` approach only works in command line settings
1167 1167 where readline is activated. As indicated in the warning above, we plan on
1168 1168 improving the integration of GUI event loops with the standalone kernel used by
1169 1169 the Qt console and other frontends (issue 643_).
1170 1170
1171 1171 Second, when using the ``PyOSInputHook`` approach, a GUI application should
1172 1172 *not* start its event loop. Instead all of this is handled by the
1173 1173 ``PyOSInputHook``. This means that applications that are meant to be used both
1174 1174 in IPython and as standalone apps need to have special code to detects how the
1175 1175 application is being run. We highly recommend using IPython's support for this.
1176 1176 Since the details vary slightly between toolkits, we point you to the various
1177 1177 examples in our source directory :file:`docs/examples/lib` that demonstrate
1178 1178 these capabilities.
1179 1179
1180 1180 .. warning::
1181 1181
1182 1182 The WX version of this is currently broken. While ``--pylab=wx`` works
1183 1183 fine, standalone WX apps do not. See
1184 1184 https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/645 for details of our progress on
1185 1185 this issue.
1186 1186
1187 1187
1188 1188 Third, unlike previous versions of IPython, we no longer "hijack" (replace
1189 1189 them with no-ops) the event loops. This is done to allow applications that
1190 1190 actually need to run the real event loops to do so. This is often needed to
1191 1191 process pending events at critical points.
1192 1192
1193 1193 Finally, we also have a number of examples in our source directory
1194 1194 :file:`docs/examples/lib` that demonstrate these capabilities.
1195 1195
1196 1196 PyQt and PySide
1197 1197 ---------------
1198 1198
1199 1199 .. attempt at explanation of the complete mess that is Qt support
1200 1200
1201 1201 When you use ``--gui=qt`` or ``--pylab=qt``, IPython can work with either
1202 1202 PyQt4 or PySide. There are three options for configuration here, because
1203 1203 PyQt4 has two APIs for QString and QVariant - v1, which is the default on
1204 1204 Python 2, and the more natural v2, which is the only API supported by PySide.
1205 1205 v2 is also the default for PyQt4 on Python 3. IPython's code for the QtConsole
1206 1206 uses v2, but you can still use any interface in your code, since the
1207 1207 Qt frontend is in a different process.
1208 1208
1209 1209 The default will be to import PyQt4 without configuration of the APIs, thus
1210 1210 matching what most applications would expect. It will fall back of PySide if
1211 1211 PyQt4 is unavailable.
1212 1212
1213 1213 If specified, IPython will respect the environment variable ``QT_API`` used
1214 1214 by ETS. ETS 4.0 also works with both PyQt4 and PySide, but it requires
1215 1215 PyQt4 to use its v2 API. So if ``QT_API=pyside`` PySide will be used,
1216 1216 and if ``QT_API=pyqt`` then PyQt4 will be used *with the v2 API* for
1217 1217 QString and QVariant, so ETS codes like MayaVi will also work with IPython.
1218 1218
1219 1219 If you launch IPython in pylab mode with ``ipython --pylab=qt``, then IPython
1220 1220 will ask matplotlib which Qt library to use (only if QT_API is *not set*), via
1221 1221 the 'backend.qt4' rcParam. If matplotlib is version 1.0.1 or older, then
1222 1222 IPython will always use PyQt4 without setting the v2 APIs, since neither v2
1223 1223 PyQt nor PySide work.
1224 1224
1225 1225 .. warning::
1226 1226
1227 1227 Note that this means for ETS 4 to work with PyQt4, ``QT_API`` *must* be set
1228 1228 to work with IPython's qt integration, because otherwise PyQt4 will be
1229 1229 loaded in an incompatible mode.
1230 1230
1231 1231 It also means that you must *not* have ``QT_API`` set if you want to
1232 1232 use ``--gui=qt`` with code that requires PyQt4 API v1.
1233 1233
1234 1234
1235 1235 .. _matplotlib_support:
1236 1236
1237 1237 Plotting with matplotlib
1238 1238 ========================
1239 1239
1240 1240 `Matplotlib`_ provides high quality 2D and 3D plotting for Python. Matplotlib
1241 1241 can produce plots on screen using a variety of GUI toolkits, including Tk,
1242 1242 PyGTK, PyQt4 and wxPython. It also provides a number of commands useful for
1243 1243 scientific computing, all with a syntax compatible with that of the popular
1244 1244 Matlab program.
1245 1245
1246 1246 To start IPython with matplotlib support, use the ``--pylab`` switch. If no
1247 1247 arguments are given, IPython will automatically detect your choice of
1248 1248 matplotlib backend. You can also request a specific backend with
1249 1249 ``--pylab=backend``, where ``backend`` must be one of: 'tk', 'qt', 'wx', 'gtk',
1250 1250 'osx'.
1251 1251
1252 1252 .. _Matplotlib: http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net
1253 1253
1254 1254 .. _interactive_demos:
1255 1255
1256 1256 Interactive demos with IPython
1257 1257 ==============================
1258 1258
1259 1259 IPython ships with a basic system for running scripts interactively in
1260 1260 sections, useful when presenting code to audiences. A few tags embedded
1261 1261 in comments (so that the script remains valid Python code) divide a file
1262 1262 into separate blocks, and the demo can be run one block at a time, with
1263 1263 IPython printing (with syntax highlighting) the block before executing
1264 1264 it, and returning to the interactive prompt after each block. The
1265 1265 interactive namespace is updated after each block is run with the
1266 1266 contents of the demo's namespace.
1267 1267
1268 1268 This allows you to show a piece of code, run it and then execute
1269 1269 interactively commands based on the variables just created. Once you
1270 1270 want to continue, you simply execute the next block of the demo. The
1271 1271 following listing shows the markup necessary for dividing a script into
1272 1272 sections for execution as a demo:
1273 1273
1274 1274 .. literalinclude:: ../../examples/lib/example-demo.py
1275 1275 :language: python
1276 1276
1277 1277 In order to run a file as a demo, you must first make a Demo object out
1278 1278 of it. If the file is named myscript.py, the following code will make a
1279 1279 demo::
1280 1280
1281 1281 from IPython.lib.demo import Demo
1282 1282
1283 1283 mydemo = Demo('myscript.py')
1284 1284
1285 1285 This creates the mydemo object, whose blocks you run one at a time by
1286 1286 simply calling the object with no arguments. If you have autocall active
1287 1287 in IPython (the default), all you need to do is type::
1288 1288
1289 1289 mydemo
1290 1290
1291 1291 and IPython will call it, executing each block. Demo objects can be
1292 1292 restarted, you can move forward or back skipping blocks, re-execute the
1293 1293 last block, etc. Simply use the Tab key on a demo object to see its
1294 1294 methods, and call '?' on them to see their docstrings for more usage
1295 1295 details. In addition, the demo module itself contains a comprehensive
1296 1296 docstring, which you can access via::
1297 1297
1298 1298 from IPython.lib import demo
1299 1299
1300 1300 demo?
1301 1301
1302 1302 Limitations: It is important to note that these demos are limited to
1303 1303 fairly simple uses. In particular, you can not put division marks in
1304 1304 indented code (loops, if statements, function definitions, etc.)
1305 1305 Supporting something like this would basically require tracking the
1306 1306 internal execution state of the Python interpreter, so only top-level
1307 1307 divisions are allowed. If you want to be able to open an IPython
1308 1308 instance at an arbitrary point in a program, you can use IPython's
1309 1309 embedding facilities, see :func:`IPython.embed` for details.

13 13 Embed IPython in your programs
14 14 ------------------------------
15 15
16 16 A few lines of code are enough to load a complete IPython inside your own
17 17 programs, giving you the ability to work with your data interactively after
18 18 automatic processing has been completed. See :ref:`the embedding section <embedding>`.
19 19
20 20 Run doctests
21 21 ------------
22 22
23 23 Run your doctests from within IPython for development and debugging. The
24 24 special %doctest_mode command toggles a mode where the prompt, output and
25 25 exceptions display matches as closely as possible that of the default Python
26 26 interpreter. In addition, this mode allows you to directly paste in code that
27 27 contains leading '>>>' prompts, even if they have extra leading whitespace
28 28 (as is common in doctest files). This combined with the ``%history -t`` call
29 29 to see your translated history allows for an easy doctest workflow, where you
30 30 can go from doctest to interactive execution to pasting into valid Python code
31 31 as needed.
32 32
33 33 Use IPython to present interactive demos
34 34 ----------------------------------------
35 35
36 36 Use the :class:`IPython.lib.demo.Demo` class to load any Python script as an interactive
37 37 demo. With a minimal amount of simple markup, you can control the execution of
38 38 the script, stopping as needed. See :ref:`here <interactive_demos>` for more.
39 39
40 40 Suppress output
41 41 ---------------
42 42
43 43 Put a ';' at the end of a line to suppress the printing of output. This is
44 44 useful when doing calculations which generate long output you are not
45 45 interested in seeing.
46 46
47 47 Lightweight 'version control'
48 48 -----------------------------
49 49
50 50 When you call ``%edit`` with no arguments, IPython opens an empty editor
51 51 with a temporary file, and it returns the contents of your editing
52 52 session as a string variable. Thanks to IPython's output caching
53 53 mechanism, this is automatically stored::
54 54
55 55 In [1]: %edit
56 56
57 57 IPython will make a temporary file named: /tmp/ipython_edit_yR-HCN.py
58 58
59 59 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
60 60
61 61 hello - this is a temporary file
62 62
63 63 Out[1]: "print 'hello - this is a temporary file'\n"
64 64
65 65 Now, if you call ``%edit -p``, IPython tries to open an editor with the
66 66 same data as the last time you used %edit. So if you haven't used %edit
67 67 in the meantime, this same contents will reopen; however, it will be
68 68 done in a new file. This means that if you make changes and you later
69 69 want to find an old version, you can always retrieve it by using its
70 70 output number, via '%edit _NN', where NN is the number of the output
71 71 prompt.
72 72
73 73 Continuing with the example above, this should illustrate this idea::
74 74
75 75 In [2]: edit -p
76 76
77 77 IPython will make a temporary file named: /tmp/ipython_edit_nA09Qk.py
78 78
79 79 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
80 80
81 81 hello - now I made some changes
82 82
83 83 Out[2]: "print 'hello - now I made some changes'\n"
84 84
85 85 In [3]: edit _1
86 86
87 87 IPython will make a temporary file named: /tmp/ipython_edit_gy6-zD.py
88 88
89 89 Editing... done. Executing edited code...
90 90
91 91 hello - this is a temporary file
92 92
93 93 IPython version control at work :)
94 94
95 95 Out[3]: "print 'hello - this is a temporary file'\nprint 'IPython version control at work :)'\n"

103 .. Effective logging
104 -----------------
105
106 .. A very useful suggestion sent in by Robert Kern follows:
107
108 .. I recently happened on a nifty way to keep tidy per-project log files. I
109 made a profile for my project (which is called "parkfield")::
110
111 include ipythonrc
112
113 # cancel earlier logfile invocation:
114
115 logfile ''
116
117 execute import time
118
119 execute __cmd = '/Users/kern/research/logfiles/parkfield-%s.log rotate'
120
121 execute __IP.magic_logstart(__cmd % time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))
122
123 .. I also added a shell alias for convenience::
124
125 alias parkfield="ipython --pylab profile=parkfield"
126
127 .. Now I have a nice little directory with everything I ever type in,
128 organized by project and date.
