Merge pull request #1768 from minrk/parallelmagics Update parallel magics They now display all output, so you can do parallel plotting or other actions with complex display. The `px` magic has now both line and cell modes, and in cell mode finer control has been added about how to collate output from multiple engines. Tests, docs and example notebook added.

"""Modified input prompt for entering quantities with units.
Modify the behavior of the interactive interpreter to allow direct input of
quantities with units without having to make a function call.
Now the following forms are accepted:
x = 4 m
y = -.45e3 m/s
g = 9.8 m/s**2
a = 2.3 m/s^2 # ^ -> ** automatically
All other input is processed normally.

# This file is an example of how to modify IPython's line-processing behavior
# without touching the internal code. We'll define an alternate pre-processing
# stage which allows a special form of input (which is invalid Python syntax)
# for certain quantities, rewrites a line of proper Python in those cases, and
# then passes it off to IPython's normal processor for further work.
# With this kind of customization, IPython can be adapted for many
# special-purpose scenarios providing alternate input syntaxes.
# This file can be imported like a regular module.
# IPython has a prefilter() function that analyzes each input line. We redefine
# it here to first pre-process certain forms of input
# The prototype of any alternate prefilter must be like this one (the name
# doesn't matter):
# - line is a string containing the user input line.
# - continuation is a parameter which tells us if we are processing a first line of
# user input or the second or higher of a multi-line statement.
