''' IPython customization API
Your one-stop module for configuring & extending ipython
The API will probably break when ipython 1.0 is released, but so
will the other configuration method (rc files).
All names prefixed by underscores are for internal use, not part
of the public api.
Below is an example that you can just put to a module and import from ipython.
A good practice is to install the config script below as e.g.
~/.ipython/my_private_conf.py
And do
import_mod my_private_conf
in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc
That way the module is imported at startup and you can have all your
personal configuration (as opposed to boilerplate ipythonrc-PROFILENAME
stuff) in there.

Inputs:
- vars: string with variable names separated by whitespace, or a
dict with name/value pairs.
- interactive: if True (default), the var will be listed with
%whos et. al.
This utility routine is meant to ease interactive debugging work,
where you want to easily propagate some internal variable in your code
up to the interactive namespace for further exploration.
When you run code via %run, globals in your script become visible at
the interactive prompt, but this doesn't happen for locals inside your
own functions and methods. Yet when debugging, it is common to want
to explore some internal variables further at the interactive propmt.
Examples:
To use this, you first must obtain a handle on the ipython object as
indicated above, via:
import IPython.ipapi
ip = IPython.ipapi.get()
Once this is done, inside a routine foo() where you want to expose
variables x and y, you do the following:
def foo():
...
x = your_computation()
y = something_else()
# This pushes x and y to the interactive prompt immediately, even
# if this routine crashes on the next line after:
ip.to_user_ns('x y')
...
# To expose *ALL* the local variables from the function, use:
ip.to_user_ns(locals())
...
# return
If you need to rename variables, the dict input makes it easy. For
example, this call exposes variables 'foo' as 'x' and 'bar' as 'y'
in IPython user namespace:
ip.to_user_ns(dict(x=foo,y=bar))
