"""Config file for 'doctest' profile. This profile modifies the prompts to be the standard Python ones, so that you can generate easily doctests from an IPython session. But more importantly, it enables pasting of code with '>>>' prompts and arbitrary initial whitespace, as is typical of doctests in reST files and docstrings. This allows you to easily re-run existing doctests and iteratively work on them as part of your development workflow. The exception mode is also set to 'plain' so the generated exceptions are as similar as possible to the default Python ones, for inclusion in doctests.""" # get various stuff that are there for historical / familiarity reasons import ipy_legacy from IPython.core import ipapi from IPython.extensions import InterpreterPasteInput def main(): ip = ipapi.get() o = ip.options # Set the prompts similar to the defaults o.prompt_in1 = '>>> ' o.prompt_in2 = '...
