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. You can define your own magic functions to extend the system. See the supplied ipythonrc and example-magic.py files for details (in your ipython configuration directory, typically $HOME/.ipython/). You can also define your own aliased names for magic functions. In your ipythonrc file, placing a line like: execute __IPYTHON__.magic_pf = __IPYTHON__.magic_profile will define %pf as a new name for %profile. You can also call magics in code using the ipmagic() function, which IPython automatically adds to the builtin namespace. Type 'ipmagic?' for details.

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 is given, the default is read from your ipythonrc file. The option name which sets this value is 'wildcards_case_sensitive'. If this option is not specified in your ipythonrc file, IPython's internal default is to do a case sensitive search. -e/-s NAMESPACE: exclude/search a given namespace.

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 : 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 : 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 : save profile results as shown on screen to a text file. The profile is still shown on screen. -D : 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.

Usage:\\ %run [-n -i -t [-N] -d [-b] -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. 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 option can be given, where 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 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.

Usage: %edit [options] [args] %edit runs IPython's editor hook. The default version of this hook is set to call the __IPYTHON__.rc.editor command. This is read from your environment variable $EDITOR. 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 command line option '-editor' or in your ipythonrc file. This is useful if you wish to use specifically for IPython an editor different from your typical default (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 : 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: - The arguments are numbers or pairs of colon-separated numbers (like 1 4:8 9). These are interpreted as lines of previous input to be loaded into the editor. The syntax is the same of the %macro command. - If the argument doesn't start with a number, it is evaluated as a variable and its contents 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. - If the argument is not found as a variable, IPython will look for a file with that name (adding .py if necessary) and load it into the editor. It will execute its contents with execfile() when you exit, loading any code in the file into your interactive namespace. 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 _ or Out[], where 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 [8]: ed\\ Editing... done. Executing edited code...\\ hello\\ Out[8]: "print 'hello'\\n" Now we call it again with the previous output (stored in _): In [9]: ed _\\ Editing... done. Executing edited code...\\ hello world\\ Out[9]: "print 'hello world'\\n" Now we call it with the output #8 (stored in _8, also as Out[8]): In [10]: ed _8\\ Editing... done. Executing edited code...\\ hello again\\ Out[10]: "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.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.""" # FIXME: This function has become a convoluted mess.

You can check the status of all jobs with jobs.status(). The jobs variable is set by IPython into the Python builtin namespace. If you ever declare a variable named 'jobs', you will shadow this name. You can either delete your global jobs variable to regain access to the job manager, or make a new name and assign it manually to the manager (stored in IPython's namespace).
