Python vs IPython: recommend %cd, %env over !cd, !export (#14629)...
Python vs IPython: recommend %cd, %env over !cd, !export (#14629) https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/latest/interactive/python-ipython-diff.html#shell-assignment The quick overview mentioned `!cd DIR` among examples of shell commands one might use — but that doesn't work as user would hope (can only affect commands in same ! e.g. `!cd /; pwd`). That's not as bad now that `!cd` prints a warning, but IMHO better to provide the right mental model up front. => Replaced that with minimal motivation why `!cd` and `!export` can't work, recommending some %magic alternatives; moved it out of examples to not distract, and right before Magics section.

=======================================================
Nose plugin with IPython and extension module support
=======================================================

This directory provides the key functionality for test support that IPython
needs as a nose plugin, which can be installed for use in projects other than
IPython.

The presence of a Makefile here is mostly for development and debugging
purposes as it only provides a few shorthand commands. You can manually
install the plugin by using standard Python procedures (``setup.py install``
with appropriate arguments).

To install the plugin using the Makefile, edit its first line to reflect where
you'd like the installation.

Once you've set the prefix, simply build/install the plugin with::

make

and run the tests with::

make test

You should see output similar to::

maqroll[plugin]> make test
nosetests -s --with-ipdoctest --doctest-tests dtexample.py
