IPython's 'magic' functions
===========================
The magic function system provides a series of functions which allow you to
control the behavior of IPython itself, plus a lot of system-type
features. All these functions are prefixed with a % character, but parameters
are given without parentheses or quotes.
NOTE: If you have 'automagic' enabled (via the command line option or with the
%automagic function), you don't need to type in the % explicitly. By default,
IPython ships with automagic on, so you should only rarely need the % escape.
Example: typing '%cd mydir' (without the quotes) changes you working directory
to 'mydir', if it exists.
For a list of the available magic functions, use %lsmagic. For a description
of any of them, type %magic_name?, e.g. '%cd?'.
Currently the magic system has the following functions:\n"""

rest of the command line must be unchanged (options come first), so
for example the following forms are equivalent
%psearch -i a* function
-i a* function?
?-i a* function
Arguments:
PATTERN
where PATTERN is a string containing * as a wildcard similar to its
use in a shell. The pattern is matched in all namespaces on the
search path. By default objects starting with a single _ are not
matched, many IPython generated objects have a single
underscore. The default is case insensitive matching. Matching is
also done on the attributes of objects and not only on the objects
in a module.
[OBJECT TYPE]
Is the name of a python type from the types module. The name is
given in lowercase without the ending type, ex. StringType is
written string. By adding a type here only objects matching the
given type are matched. Using all here makes the pattern match all
types (this is the default).
Options:
-a: makes the pattern match even objects whose names start with a
single underscore. These names are normally ommitted from the
search.
-i/-c: make the pattern case insensitive/sensitive. If neither of
these options are given, the default is read from your configuration
file, with the option ``InteractiveShell.wildcards_case_sensitive``.
If this option is not specified in your configuration file, IPython's
internal default is to do a case sensitive search.
-e/-s NAMESPACE: exclude/search a given namespace. The pattern you
specifiy can be searched in any of the following namespaces:
'builtin', 'user', 'user_global','internal', 'alias', where
'builtin' and 'user' are the search defaults. Note that you should
not use quotes when specifying namespaces.
'Builtin' contains the python module builtin, 'user' contains all
user data, 'alias' only contain the shell aliases and no python
objects, 'internal' contains objects used by IPython. The
'user_global' namespace is only used by embedded IPython instances,
and it contains module-level globals. You can add namespaces to the
search with -s or exclude them with -e (these options can be given
more than once).
Examples:
%psearch a* -> objects beginning with an a
%psearch -e builtin a* -> objects NOT in the builtin space starting in a
%psearch a* function -> all functions beginning with an a
%psearch re.e* -> objects beginning with an e in module re
%psearch r*.e* -> objects that start with e in modules starting in r
%psearch r*.* string -> all strings in modules beginning with r
Case sensitve search:
%psearch -c a* list all object beginning with lower case a
Show objects beginning with a single _:
%psearch -a _* list objects beginning with a single underscore"""

- For {},[],(): their length.
- For numpy arrays, a summary with shape, number of
elements, typecode and size in memory.
- Everything else: a string representation, snipping their middle if
too long.

Usage:
%prun [options] statement
The given statement (which doesn't require quote marks) is run via the
python profiler in a manner similar to the profile.run() function.
Namespaces are internally managed to work correctly; profile.run
cannot be used in IPython because it makes certain assumptions about
namespaces which do not hold under IPython.
Options:
-l <limit>: you can place restrictions on what or how much of the
profile gets printed. The limit value can be:
* A string: only information for function names containing this string
is printed.
* An integer: only these many lines are printed.
* A float (between 0 and 1): this fraction of the report is printed
(for example, use a limit of 0.4 to see the topmost 40% only).
You can combine several limits with repeated use of the option. For
example, '-l __init__ -l 5' will print only the topmost 5 lines of
information about class constructors.
-r: return the pstats.Stats object generated by the profiling. This
object has all the information about the profile in it, and you can
later use it for further analysis or in other functions.
-s <key>: sort profile by given key. You can provide more than one key
by using the option several times: '-s key1 -s key2 -s key3...'. The
default sorting key is 'time'.
The following is copied verbatim from the profile documentation
referenced below:
When more than one key is provided, additional keys are used as
secondary criteria when the there is equality in all keys selected
before them.
Abbreviations can be used for any key names, as long as the
abbreviation is unambiguous. The following are the keys currently
defined:
Valid Arg Meaning
"calls" call count
"cumulative" cumulative time
"file" file name
"module" file name
"pcalls" primitive call count
"line" line number
"name" function name
"nfl" name/file/line
"stdname" standard name
"time" internal time
Note that all sorts on statistics are in descending order (placing
most time consuming items first), where as name, file, and line number
searches are in ascending order (i.e., alphabetical). The subtle
distinction between "nfl" and "stdname" is that the standard name is a
sort of the name as printed, which means that the embedded line
numbers get compared in an odd way. For example, lines 3, 20, and 40
would (if the file names were the same) appear in the string order
"20" "3" and "40". In contrast, "nfl" does a numeric compare of the
line numbers. In fact, sort_stats("nfl") is the same as
sort_stats("name", "file", "line").
-T <filename>: save profile results as shown on screen to a text
file. The profile is still shown on screen.
-D <filename>: save (via dump_stats) profile statistics to given
filename. This data is in a format understod by the pstats module, and
is generated by a call to the dump_stats() method of profile
objects. The profile is still shown on screen.
If you want to run complete programs under the profiler's control, use
'%run -p [prof_opts] filename.py [args to program]' where prof_opts
contains profiler specific options as described here.

file_finder=get_py_filename):
"""Run the named file inside IPython as a program.
Usage:\\
%run [-n -i -t [-N<N>] -d [-b<N>] -p [profile options]] file [args]
Parameters after the filename are passed as command-line arguments to
the program (put in sys.argv). Then, control returns to IPython's
prompt.
This is similar to running at a system prompt:\\
$ python file args\\
but with the advantage of giving you IPython's tracebacks, and of
loading all variables into your interactive namespace for further use
(unless -p is used, see below).
The file is executed in a namespace initially consisting only of
__name__=='__main__' and sys.argv constructed as indicated. It thus
sees its environment as if it were being run as a stand-alone program
(except for sharing global objects such as previously imported
modules). But after execution, the IPython interactive namespace gets
updated with all variables defined in the program (except for __name__
and sys.argv). This allows for very convenient loading of code for
interactive work, while giving each program a 'clean sheet' to run in.
Options:
-n: __name__ is NOT set to '__main__', but to the running file's name
without extension (as python does under import). This allows running
scripts and reloading the definitions in them without calling code
protected by an ' if __name__ == "__main__" ' clause.
-i: run the file in IPython's namespace instead of an empty one. This
is useful if you are experimenting with code written in a text editor
which depends on variables defined interactively.
-e: ignore sys.exit() calls or SystemExit exceptions in the script
being run. This is particularly useful if IPython is being used to
run unittests, which always exit with a sys.exit() call. In such
cases you are interested in the output of the test results, not in
seeing a traceback of the unittest module.
-t: print timing information at the end of the run. IPython will give
you an estimated CPU time consumption for your script, which under
Unix uses the resource module to avoid the wraparound problems of
time.clock(). Under Unix, an estimate of time spent on system tasks
is also given (for Windows platforms this is reported as 0.0).
If -t is given, an additional -N<N> option can be given, where <N>
must be an integer indicating how many times you want the script to
run. The final timing report will include total and per run results.
For example (testing the script uniq_stable.py):
In [1]: run -t uniq_stable
IPython CPU timings (estimated):\\
User : 0.19597 s.\\
System: 0.0 s.\\
In [2]: run -t -N5 uniq_stable
IPython CPU timings (estimated):\\
Total runs performed: 5\\
Times : Total Per run\\
User : 0.910862 s, 0.1821724 s.\\
System: 0.0 s, 0.0 s.
-d: run your program under the control of pdb, the Python debugger.
This allows you to execute your program step by step, watch variables,
etc. Internally, what IPython does is similar to calling:
pdb.run('execfile("YOURFILENAME")')
with a breakpoint set on line 1 of your file. You can change the line
number for this automatic breakpoint to be <N> by using the -bN option
(where N must be an integer). For example:
%run -d -b40 myscript
will set the first breakpoint at line 40 in myscript.py. Note that
the first breakpoint must be set on a line which actually does
something (not a comment or docstring) for it to stop execution.
When the pdb debugger starts, you will see a (Pdb) prompt. You must
first enter 'c' (without qoutes) to start execution up to the first
breakpoint.
Entering 'help' gives information about the use of the debugger. You
can easily see pdb's full documentation with "import pdb;pdb.help()"
at a prompt.
-p: run program under the control of the Python profiler module (which
prints a detailed report of execution times, function calls, etc).
You can pass other options after -p which affect the behavior of the
profiler itself. See the docs for %prun for details.
In this mode, the program's variables do NOT propagate back to the
IPython interactive namespace (because they remain in the namespace
where the profiler executes them).
Internally this triggers a call to %prun, see its documentation for
details on the options available specifically for profiling.
There is one special usage for which the text above doesn't apply:
if the filename ends with .ipy, the file is run as ipython script,
just as if the commands were written on IPython prompt.
-m: specify module name to load instead of script path. Similar to
the -m option for the python interpreter. Use this option last if you
want to combine with other %run options. Unlike the python interpreter
only source modules are allowed no .pyc or .pyo files.
For example:
%run -m example
will run the example module.

Usage:\\
%timeit [-n<N> -r<R> [-t|-c]] statement
Time execution of a Python statement or expression using the timeit
module.
Options:
-n<N>: execute the given statement <N> times in a loop. If this value
is not given, a fitting value is chosen.
-r<R>: repeat the loop iteration <R> times and take the best result.
Default: 3
-t: use time.time to measure the time, which is the default on Unix.
This function measures wall time.
-c: use time.clock to measure the time, which is the default on
Windows and measures wall time. On Unix, resource.getrusage is used
instead and returns the CPU user time.
-p<P>: use a precision of <P> digits to display the timing result.
Default: 3
Examples:
In [1]: %timeit pass
10000000 loops, best of 3: 53.3 ns per loop
In [2]: u = None
In [3]: %timeit u is None
10000000 loops, best of 3: 184 ns per loop
In [4]: %timeit -r 4 u == None
1000000 loops, best of 4: 242 ns per loop
In [5]: import time
In [6]: %timeit -n1 time.sleep(2)
1 loops, best of 3: 2 s per loop
The times reported by %timeit will be slightly higher than those
reported by the timeit.py script when variables are accessed. This is
due to the fact that %timeit executes the statement in the namespace
of the shell, compared with timeit.py, which uses a single setup
statement to import function or create variables. Generally, the bias
does not matter as long as results from timeit.py are not mixed with
those from %timeit."""

filenames or string objects.
Usage:\\
%macro [options] name n1-n2 n3-n4 ... n5 .. n6 ...
Options:
-r: use 'raw' input. By default, the 'processed' history is used,
so that magics are loaded in their transformed version to valid
Python. If this option is given, the raw input as typed as the
command line is used instead.
This will define a global variable called `name` which is a string
made of joining the slices and lines you specify (n1,n2,... numbers
above) from your input history into a single string. This variable
acts like an automatic function which re-executes those lines as if
you had typed them. You just type 'name' at the prompt and the code
executes.
The syntax for indicating input ranges is described in %history.
Note: as a 'hidden' feature, you can also use traditional python slice
notation, where N:M means numbers N through M-1.
For example, if your history contains (%hist prints it):
44: x=1
45: y=3
46: z=x+y
47: print x
48: a=5
49: print 'x',x,'y',y
you can create a macro with lines 44 through 47 (included) and line 49
called my_macro with:

Now, typing `my_macro` (without quotes) will re-execute all this code
in one pass.
You don't need to give the line-numbers in order, and any given line
number can appear multiple times. You can assemble macros with any
lines from your input history in any order.
The macro is a simple object which holds its value in an attribute,
but IPython's display system checks for macros and executes them as
code instead of printing them when you type their name.
You can view a macro's contents by explicitly printing it with:

Usage:
%edit [options] [args]
%edit runs IPython's editor hook. The default version of this hook is
set to call the editor specified by your $EDITOR environment variable.
If this isn't found, it will default to vi under Linux/Unix and to
notepad under Windows. See the end of this docstring for how to change
the editor hook.
You can also set the value of this editor via the
``TerminalInteractiveShell.editor`` option in your configuration file.
This is useful if you wish to use a different editor from your typical
default with IPython (and for Windows users who typically don't set
environment variables).
This command allows you to conveniently edit multi-line code right in
your IPython session.
If called without arguments, %edit opens up an empty editor with a
temporary file and will execute the contents of this file when you
close it (don't forget to save it!).
Options:
-n <number>: open the editor at a specified line number. By default,
the IPython editor hook uses the unix syntax 'editor +N filename', but
you can configure this by providing your own modified hook if your
favorite editor supports line-number specifications with a different
syntax.
-p: this will call the editor with the same data as the previous time
it was used, regardless of how long ago (in your current session) it
was.
-r: use 'raw' input. This option only applies to input taken from the
user's history. By default, the 'processed' history is used, so that
magics are loaded in their transformed version to valid Python. If
this option is given, the raw input as typed as the command line is
used instead. When you exit the editor, it will be executed by
IPython's own processor.
-x: do not execute the edited code immediately upon exit. This is
mainly useful if you are editing programs which need to be called with
command line arguments, which you can then do using %run.
Arguments:
If arguments are given, the following possibilites exist:
- If the argument is a filename, IPython will load that into the
editor. It will execute its contents with execfile() when you exit,
loading any code in the file into your interactive namespace.
- The arguments are ranges of input history, e.g. "7 ~1/4-6".
The syntax is the same as in the %history magic.
- If the argument is a string variable, its contents are loaded
into the editor. You can thus edit any string which contains
python code (including the result of previous edits).
- If the argument is the name of an object (other than a string),
IPython will try to locate the file where it was defined and open the
editor at the point where it is defined. You can use `%edit function`
to load an editor exactly at the point where 'function' is defined,
edit it and have the file be executed automatically.
- If the object is a macro (see %macro for details), this opens up your
specified editor with a temporary file containing the macro's data.
Upon exit, the macro is reloaded with the contents of the file.
Note: opening at an exact line is only supported under Unix, and some
editors (like kedit and gedit up to Gnome 2.8) do not understand the
'+NUMBER' parameter necessary for this feature. Good editors like
(X)Emacs, vi, jed, pico and joe all do.
After executing your code, %edit will return as output the code you
typed in the editor (except when it was an existing file). This way
you can reload the code in further invocations of %edit as a variable,
via _<NUMBER> or Out[<NUMBER>], where <NUMBER> is the prompt number of
the output.
Note that %edit is also available through the alias %ed.
This is an example of creating a simple function inside the editor and
then modifying it. First, start up the editor:
In [1]: ed
Editing... done. Executing edited code...
Out[1]: 'def foo():n print "foo() was defined in an editing session"n'
We can then call the function foo():
In [2]: foo()
foo() was defined in an editing session
Now we edit foo. IPython automatically loads the editor with the
(temporary) file where foo() was previously defined:
In [3]: ed foo
Editing... done. Executing edited code...
And if we call foo() again we get the modified version:
In [4]: foo()
foo() has now been changed!
Here is an example of how to edit a code snippet successive
times. First we call the editor:
In [5]: ed
Editing... done. Executing edited code...
hello
Out[5]: "print 'hello'n"
Now we call it again with the previous output (stored in _):
In [6]: ed _
Editing... done. Executing edited code...
hello world
Out[6]: "print 'hello world'n"
Now we call it with the output #8 (stored in _8, also as Out[8]):
In [7]: ed _8
Editing... done. Executing edited code...
hello again
Out[7]: "print 'hello again'n"
Changing the default editor hook:
If you wish to write your own editor hook, you can put it in a
configuration file which you load at startup time. The default hook
is defined in the IPython.core.hooks module, and you can use that as a
starting example for further modifications. That file also has
general instructions on how to set a new hook for use once you've
defined it."""

"""Define an alias for a system command.
'%alias alias_name cmd' defines 'alias_name' as an alias for 'cmd'
Then, typing 'alias_name params' will execute the system command 'cmd
params' (from your underlying operating system).
Aliases have lower precedence than magic functions and Python normal
variables, so if 'foo' is both a Python variable and an alias, the
alias can not be executed until 'del foo' removes the Python variable.
You can use the %l specifier in an alias definition to represent the
whole line when the alias is called. For example:
In [2]: alias bracket echo "Input in brackets: <%l>"
In [3]: bracket hello world
Input in brackets: <hello world>
You can also define aliases with parameters using %s specifiers (one
per parameter):
In [1]: alias parts echo first %s second %s
In [2]: %parts A B
first A second B
In [3]: %parts A
Incorrect number of arguments: 2 expected.
parts is an alias to: 'echo first %s second %s'
Note that %l and %s are mutually exclusive. You can only use one or
the other in your aliases.
Aliases expand Python variables just like system calls using ! or !!
do: all expressions prefixed with '$' get expanded. For details of
the semantic rules, see PEP-215:
http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html. This is the library used by
IPython for variable expansion. If you want to access a true shell
variable, an extra $ is necessary to prevent its expansion by IPython:
In [6]: alias show echo
In [7]: PATH='A Python string'
In [8]: show $PATH
A Python string
In [9]: show $$PATH
/usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
You can use the alias facility to acess all of $PATH. See the %rehash
and %rehashx functions, which automatically create aliases for the
contents of your $PATH.

myfiles.s, myfiles.l and myfiles.n still apply as documented
below.
--
%sc [options] varname=command
IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
will then update the user's interactive namespace with a variable
called varname, containing the value of the call. Your command can
contain shell wildcards, pipes, etc.
The '=' sign in the syntax is mandatory, and the variable name you
supply must follow Python's standard conventions for valid names.
(A special format without variable name exists for internal use)
Options:
-l: list output. Split the output on newlines into a list before
assigning it to the given variable. By default the output is stored
as a single string.
-v: verbose. Print the contents of the variable.
In most cases you should not need to split as a list, because the
returned value is a special type of string which can automatically
provide its contents either as a list (split on newlines) or as a
space-separated string. These are convenient, respectively, either
for sequential processing or to be passed to a shell command.
For example:
# all-random
# Capture into variable a
In [1]: sc a=ls *py
# a is a string with embedded newlines
In [2]: a
Out[2]: 'setup.py\\nwin32_manual_post_install.py'
# which can be seen as a list:
In [3]: a.l
Out[3]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']
# or as a whitespace-separated string:
In [4]: a.s
Out[4]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
# a.s is useful to pass as a single command line:
In [5]: !wc -l $a.s
146 setup.py
130 win32_manual_post_install.py
276 total
# while the list form is useful to loop over:
In [6]: for f in a.l:
...: !wc -l $f
...:
146 setup.py
130 win32_manual_post_install.py
Similiarly, the lists returned by the -l option are also special, in
the sense that you can equally invoke the .s attribute on them to
automatically get a whitespace-separated string from their contents:
In [7]: sc -l b=ls *py
In [8]: b
Out[8]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']
In [9]: b.s
Out[9]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
In summary, both the lists and strings used for ouptut capture have
the following special attributes:
.l (or .list) : value as list.
.n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
.s (or .spstr): value as space-separated string.

1) If an input line begins with '!!', then %sx is automatically

- Changing the prompts to the classic ``>>>`` ones.
- Changing the exception reporting mode to 'Plain'.
- Disabling pretty-printing of output.
Note that IPython also supports the pasting of code snippets that have
leading '>>>' and '...' prompts in them. This means that you can paste
doctests from files or docstrings (even if they have leading
whitespace), and the code will execute correctly. You can then use
'%history -t' to see the translated history; this will give you the
input after removal of all the leading prompts and whitespace, which
can be pasted back into an editor.
With these features, you can switch into this mode easily whenever you

%pylab [GUINAME]
This function lets you activate pylab (matplotlib, numpy and

It will import at the top level numpy as np, pyplot as plt, matplotlib,
pylab and mlab, as well as all names from numpy and pylab.
Parameters
----------
guiname : optional
One of the valid arguments to the %gui magic ('qt', 'wx', 'gtk', 'osx' or
'tk'). If given, the corresponding Matplotlib backend is used,
otherwise matplotlib's default (which you can override in your
matplotlib config file) is used.
Examples
--------
In this case, where the MPL default is TkAgg:
In [2]: %pylab
Welcome to pylab, a matplotlib-based Python environment.
Backend in use: TkAgg
For more information, type 'help(pylab)'.
But you can explicitly request a different backend:
In [3]: %pylab qt
Welcome to pylab, a matplotlib-based Python environment.
Backend in use: Qt4Agg
For more information, type 'help(pylab)'.
