IPython/UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py

""" User configuration file for IPython

This is a more flexible and safe way to configure ipython than *rc files
(ipythonrc, ipythonrc-pysh etc.)

This file is always imported on ipython startup. You can import the
ipython extensions you need here (see IPython/Extensions directory).

Feel free to edit this file to customize your ipython experience.

Note that as such this file does nothing, for backwards compatibility.
Consult e.g. file 'ipy_profile_sh.py' for an example of the things 
you can do here.

"""

# Most of your config files and extensions will probably start with this import

import IPython.ipapi
ip = IPython.ipapi.get()

def main():
    o = ip.options()
    # An example on how to set options
    #o.autocall = 1
