"""An example of how to embed an IPython shell into a running program.
Please see the documentation in the IPython.Shell module for more details.
The accompanying file example-embed-short.py has quick code fragments for
embedding which you can cut and paste in your code once you understand how
things work.
The code in this file is deliberately extra-verbose, meant for learning."""

# IPython injects get_ipython into builtins, so you can know if you have nested
# copies running.

# %run example-embed.py)

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# More details:
# InteractiveShellEmbed instances don't print the standard system banner and
# messages. The IPython banner (which actually may contain initialization
# messages) is available as get_ipython().banner in case you want it.
# InteractiveShellEmbed instances print the following information everytime they
# start:
# - A global startup banner.
# - A call-specific header string, which you can use to indicate where in the
# execution flow the shell is starting.
# They also print an exit message every time they exit.
# Both the startup banner and the exit message default to None, and can be set
# either at the instance constructor or at any other time with the
# by setting the banner and exit_msg attributes.
# The shell instance can be also put in 'dummy' mode globally or on a per-call
# basis. This gives you fine control for debugging without having to change
# code all over the place.
# The code below illustrates all this.
# This is how the global banner and exit_msg can be reset at any point

print('bar says n = ',n)
# Some calls to the above functions which will trigger IPython:
print('Main program calling foo("eggs")\n')
