# -*- Mode: Shell-Script -*- Not really, but shows comments correctly # $Id: ipythonrc 2156 2007-03-19 02:32:19Z fperez $ #*************************************************************************** # # Configuration file for IPython -- ipythonrc format # # =========================================================== # Deprecation note: you should look into modifying ipy_user_conf.py (located # in ~/.ipython or ~/_ipython, depending on your platform) instead, it's a # more flexible and robust (and better supported!) configuration # method. # =========================================================== # # The format of this file is simply one of 'key value' lines. # Lines containing only whitespace at the beginning and then a # are ignored # as comments. But comments can NOT be put on lines with data. # The meaning and use of each key are explained below. #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section: included files # Put one or more *config* files (with the syntax of this file) you want to # include. For keys with a unique value the outermost file has precedence. For # keys with multiple values, they all get assembled into a list which then # gets loaded by IPython. # In this file, all lists of things should simply be space-separated. # This allows you to build hierarchies of files which recursively load # lower-level services. If this is your main ~/.ipython/ipythonrc file, you # should only keep here basic things you always want available. Then you can # include it in every other special-purpose config file you create. include #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section: startup setup # These are mostly things which parallel a command line option of the same # name. # Keys in this section should only appear once. If any key from this section # is encountered more than once, the last value remains, all earlier ones get # discarded. # Automatic calling of callable objects. If set to 1 or 2, callable objects # are automatically called when invoked at the command line, even if you don't # type parentheses. IPython adds the parentheses for you. For example: #In [1]: str 45 #------> str(45) #Out[1]: '45' # IPython reprints your line with '---->' indicating that it added # parentheses. While this option is very convenient for interactive use, it # may occasionally cause problems with objects which have side-effects if # called unexpectedly. # The valid values for autocall are: # autocall 0 -> disabled (you can toggle it at runtime with the %autocall magic) # autocall 1 -> active, but do not apply if there are no arguments on the line. # In this mode, you get: #In [1]: callable #Out[1]: <built-in function callable> #In [2]: callable 'hello' #------> callable('hello') #Out[2]: False # 2 -> Active always. Even if no arguments are present, the callable object # is called: #In [4]: callable #------> callable() # Note that even with autocall off, you can still use '/' at the start of a # line to treat the first argument on the command line as a function and add # parentheses to it: #In [8]: /str 43 #------> str(43) #Out[8]: '43' autocall 1 # Auto-edit syntax errors. When you use the %edit magic in ipython to edit # source code (see the 'editor' variable below), it is possible that you save # a file with syntax errors in it. If this variable is true, IPython will ask # you whether to re-open the editor immediately to correct such an error. autoedit_syntax 0 # Auto-indent. IPython can recognize lines ending in ':' and indent the next # line, while also un-indenting automatically after 'raise' or 'return'. # This feature uses the readline library, so it will honor your ~/.inputrc # configuration (or whatever file your INPUTRC variable points to). Adding # the following lines to your .inputrc file can make indent/unindenting more # convenient (M-i indents, M-u unindents): # $if Python # "\M-i": " " # "\M-u": "\d\d\d\d" # $endif # The feature is potentially a bit dangerous, because it can cause problems # with pasting of indented code (the pasted code gets re-indented on each # line). But it's a huge time-saver when working interactively. The magic # function %autoindent allows you to toggle it on/off at runtime. autoindent 1 # Auto-magic. This gives you access to all the magic functions without having # to prepend them with an % sign. If you define a variable with the same name # as a magic function (say who=1), you will need to access the magic function # with % (%who in this example). However, if later you delete your variable # (del who), you'll recover the automagic calling form. # Considering that many magic functions provide a lot of shell-like # functionality, automagic gives you something close to a full Python+system # shell environment (and you can extend it further if you want). automagic 1 # Size of the output cache. After this many entries are stored, the cache will # get flushed. Depending on the size of your intermediate calculations, you # may have memory problems if you make it too big, since keeping things in the # cache prevents Python from reclaiming the memory for old results. Experiment # with a value that works well for you. # If you choose cache_size 0 IPython will revert to python's regular >>> # unnumbered prompt. You will still have _, __ and ___ for your last three # results, but that will be it. No dynamic _1, _2, etc. will be created. If # you are running on a slow machine or with very limited memory, this may # help. cache_size 1000 # Classic mode: Setting 'classic 1' you lose many of IPython niceties, # but that's your choice! Classic 1 -> same as IPython -classic. # Note that this is _not_ the normal python interpreter, it's simply # IPython emulating most of the classic interpreter's behavior. classic 0 # colors - Coloring option for prompts and traceback printouts. # Currently available schemes: NoColor, Linux, LightBG. # This option allows coloring the prompts and traceback printouts. This # requires a terminal which can properly handle color escape sequences. If you # are having problems with this, use the NoColor scheme (uses no color escapes # at all). # The Linux option works well in linux console type environments: dark # background with light fonts. # LightBG is similar to Linux but swaps dark/light colors to be more readable # in light background terminals. # keep uncommented only the one you want: colors Linux #colors LightBG #colors NoColor ######################## # Note to Windows users # # Color and readline support is avaialble to Windows users via Gary Bishop's # readline library. You can find Gary's tools at # http://sourceforge.net/projects/uncpythontools. # Note that his readline module requires in turn the ctypes library, available # at http://starship.python.net/crew/theller/ctypes. ######################## # color_info: IPython can display information about objects via a set of # functions, and optionally can use colors for this, syntax highlighting # source code and various other elements. This information is passed through a # pager (it defaults to 'less' if $PAGER is not set). # If your pager has problems, try to setting it to properly handle escapes # (see the less manpage for detail), or disable this option. The magic # function %color_info allows you to toggle this interactively for testing. color_info 1 # confirm_exit: set to 1 if you want IPython to confirm when you try to exit # with an EOF (Control-d in Unix, Control-Z/Enter in Windows). Note that using # the magic functions %Exit or %Quit you can force a direct exit, bypassing # any confirmation. confirm_exit 0 # Use deep_reload() as a substitute for reload() by default. deep_reload() is # still available as dreload() and appears as a builtin. deep_reload 0 # Which editor to use with the %edit command. If you leave this at 0, IPython # will honor your EDITOR environment variable. Since this editor is invoked on # the fly by ipython and is meant for editing small code snippets, you may # want to use a small, lightweight editor here. # For Emacs users, setting up your Emacs server properly as described in the # manual is a good idea. An alternative is to use jed, a very light editor # with much of the feel of Emacs (though not as powerful for heavy-duty work). editor 0 # log 1 -> same as ipython -log. This automatically logs to ./ipython.log log 0 # Same as ipython -Logfile YourLogfileName. # Don't use with log 1 (use one or the other) logfile '' # banner 0 -> same as ipython -nobanner banner 0 # messages 0 -> same as ipython -nomessages messages 1 # Automatically call the pdb debugger after every uncaught exception. If you # are used to debugging using pdb, this puts you automatically inside of it # after any call (either in IPython or in code called by it) which triggers an # exception which goes uncaught. pdb 0 # Enable the pprint module for printing. pprint tends to give a more readable # display (than print) for complex nested data structures. pprint 1 # Prompt strings # Most bash-like escapes can be used to customize IPython's prompts, as well as # a few additional ones which are IPython-specific. All valid prompt escapes # are described in detail in the Customization section of the IPython HTML/PDF # manual. # Use \# to represent the current prompt number, and quote them to protect # spaces. prompt_in1 'In [\#]: ' # \D is replaced by as many dots as there are digits in the # current value of \#. prompt_in2 ' .\D.: ' prompt_out 'Out[\#]: ' # Select whether to left-pad the output prompts to match the length of the # input ones. This allows you for example to use a simple '>' as an output # prompt, and yet have the output line up with the input. If set to false, # the output prompts will be unpadded (flush left). prompts_pad_left 1 # Pylab support: when ipython is started with the -pylab switch, by default it # executes 'from matplotlib.pylab import *'. Set this variable to false if you # want to disable this behavior. # For details on pylab, see the matplotlib website: # http://matplotlib.sf.net pylab_import_all 1 # quick 1 -> same as ipython -quick quick 0 # Use the readline library (1) or not (0). Most users will want this on, but # if you experience strange problems with line management (mainly when using # IPython inside Emacs buffers) you may try disabling it. Not having it on # prevents you from getting command history with the arrow keys, searching and # name completion using TAB. readline 1 # Screen Length: number of lines of your screen. This is used to control # printing of very long strings. Strings longer than this number of lines will # be paged with the less command instead of directly printed. # The default value for this is 0, which means IPython will auto-detect your # screen size every time it needs to print. If for some reason this isn't # working well (it needs curses support), specify it yourself. Otherwise don't # change the default. screen_length 0 # Prompt separators for input and output. # Use \n for newline explicitly, without quotes. # Use 0 (like at the cmd line) to turn off a given separator. # The structure of prompt printing is: # (SeparateIn)Input.... # (SeparateOut)Output... # (SeparateOut2), # that is, no newline is printed after Out2 # By choosing these you can organize your output any way you want. separate_in \n separate_out 0 separate_out2 0 # 'nosep 1' is a shorthand for '-SeparateIn 0 -SeparateOut 0 -SeparateOut2 0'. # Simply removes all input/output separators, overriding the choices above. nosep 0 # Wildcard searches - IPython has a system for searching names using # shell-like wildcards; type %psearch? for details. This variables sets # whether by default such searches should be case sensitive or not. You can # always override the default at the system command line or the IPython # prompt. wildcards_case_sensitive 1 # Object information: at what level of detail to display the string form of an # object. If set to 0, ipython will compute the string form of any object X, # by calling str(X), when X? is typed. If set to 1, str(X) will only be # computed when X?? is given, and if set to 2 or higher, it will never be # computed (there is no X??? level of detail). This is mostly of use to # people who frequently manipulate objects whose string representation is # extremely expensive to compute. object_info_string_level 0 # xmode - Exception reporting mode. # Valid modes: Plain, Context and Verbose. # Plain: similar to python's normal traceback printing. # Context: prints 5 lines of context source code around each line in the # traceback. # Verbose: similar to Context, but additionally prints the variables currently # visible where the exception happened (shortening their strings if too # long). This can potentially be very slow, if you happen to have a huge data # structure whose string representation is complex to compute. Your computer # may appear to freeze for a while with cpu usage at 100%. If this occurs, you # can cancel the traceback with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it more than once). #xmode Plain xmode Context #xmode Verbose # multi_line_specials: if true, allow magics, aliases and shell escapes (via # !cmd) to be used in multi-line input (like for loops). For example, if you # have this active, the following is valid in IPython: # #In [17]: for i in range(3): # ....: mkdir $i # ....: !touch $i/hello # ....: ls -l $i multi_line_specials 1 # System calls: When IPython makes system calls (e.g. via special syntax like # !cmd or !!cmd, or magics like %sc or %sx), it can print the command it is # executing to standard output, prefixed by a header string. system_header "IPython system call: " system_verbose 1 # wxversion: request a specific wxPython version (used for -wthread) # Set this to the value of wxPython you want to use, but note that this # feature requires you to have the wxversion Python module to work. If you # don't have the wxversion module (try 'import wxversion' at the prompt to # check) or simply want to leave the system to pick up the default, leave this # variable at 0. wxversion 0 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section: Readline configuration (readline is not available for MS-Windows) # This is done via the following options: # (i) readline_parse_and_bind: this option can appear as many times as you # want, each time defining a string to be executed via a # readline.parse_and_bind() command. The syntax for valid commands of this # kind can be found by reading the documentation for the GNU readline library, # as these commands are of the kind which readline accepts in its # configuration file. # The TAB key can be used to complete names at the command line in one of two # ways: 'complete' and 'menu-complete'. The difference is that 'complete' only # completes as much as possible while 'menu-complete' cycles through all # possible completions. Leave the one you prefer uncommented. readline_parse_and_bind tab: complete #readline_parse_and_bind tab: menu-complete # This binds Control-l to printing the list of all possible completions when # there is more than one (what 'complete' does when hitting TAB twice, or at # the first TAB if show-all-if-ambiguous is on) readline_parse_and_bind "\C-l": possible-completions # This forces readline to automatically print the above list when tab # completion is set to 'complete'. You can still get this list manually by # using the key bound to 'possible-completions' (Control-l by default) or by # hitting TAB twice. Turning this on makes the printing happen at the first # TAB. readline_parse_and_bind set show-all-if-ambiguous on # If you have TAB set to complete names, you can rebind any key (Control-o by # default) to insert a true TAB character. readline_parse_and_bind "\C-o": tab-insert # These commands allow you to indent/unindent easily, with the 4-space # convention of the Python coding standards. Since IPython's internal # auto-indent system also uses 4 spaces, you should not change the number of # spaces in the code below. readline_parse_and_bind "\M-i": " " readline_parse_and_bind "\M-o": "\d\d\d\d" readline_parse_and_bind "\M-I": "\d\d\d\d" # Bindings for incremental searches in the history. These searches use the # string typed so far on the command line and search anything in the previous # input history containing them. readline_parse_and_bind "\C-r": reverse-search-history readline_parse_and_bind "\C-s": forward-search-history # Bindings for completing the current line in the history of previous # commands. This allows you to recall any previous command by typing its first # few letters and hitting Control-p, bypassing all intermediate commands which # may be in the history (much faster than hitting up-arrow 50 times!) readline_parse_and_bind "\C-p": history-search-backward readline_parse_and_bind "\C-n": history-search-forward # I also like to have the same functionality on the plain arrow keys. If you'd # rather have the arrows use all the history (and not just match what you've # typed so far), comment out or delete the next two lines. readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward # These are typically on by default under *nix, but not win32. readline_parse_and_bind "\C-k": kill-line readline_parse_and_bind "\C-u": unix-line-discard # (ii) readline_remove_delims: a string of characters to be removed from the # default word-delimiters list used by readline, so that completions may be # performed on strings which contain them. readline_remove_delims -/~ # (iii) readline_merge_completions: whether to merge the result of all # possible completions or not. If true, IPython will complete filenames, # python names and aliases and return all possible completions. If you set it # to false, each completer is used at a time, and only if it doesn't return # any completions is the next one used. # The default order is: [python_matches, file_matches, alias_matches] readline_merge_completions 1 # (iv) readline_omit__names: normally hitting <tab> after a '.' in a name # will complete all attributes of an object, including all the special methods # whose names start with single or double underscores (like __getitem__ or # __class__). # This variable allows you to control this completion behavior: # readline_omit__names 1 -> completion will omit showing any names starting # with two __, but it will still show names starting with one _. # readline_omit__names 2 -> completion will omit all names beginning with one # _ (which obviously means filtering out the double __ ones). # Even when this option is set, you can still see those names by explicitly # typing a _ after the period and hitting <tab>: 'name._<tab>' will always # complete attribute names starting with '_'. # This option is off by default so that new users see all attributes of any # objects they are dealing with. readline_omit__names 0 #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section: modules to be loaded with 'import ...' # List, separated by spaces, the names of the modules you want to import # Example: # import_mod sys os # will produce internally the statements # import sys # import os # Each import is executed in its own try/except block, so if one module # fails to load the others will still be ok. import_mod #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section: modules to import some functions from: 'from ... import ...' # List, one per line, the modules for which you want only to import some # functions. Give the module name first and then the name of functions to be # imported from that module. # Example: # import_some IPython.genutils timing timings # will produce internally the statement # from IPython.genutils import timing, timings # timing() and timings() are two IPython utilities for timing the execution of # your own functions, which you may find useful. Just commment out the above # line if you want to test them. # If you have more than one modules_some line, each gets its own try/except # block (like modules, see above). import_some #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section: modules to import all from : 'from ... import *' # List (same syntax as import_mod above) those modules for which you want to # import all functions. Remember, this is a potentially dangerous thing to do, # since it is very easy to overwrite names of things you need. Use with # caution. # Example: # import_all sys os # will produce internally the statements # from sys import * # from os import * # As before, each will be called in a separate try/except block. import_all #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section: Python code to execute. # Put here code to be explicitly executed (keep it simple!) # Put one line of python code per line. All whitespace is removed (this is a # feature, not a bug), so don't get fancy building loops here. # This is just for quick convenient creation of things you want available. # Example: # execute x = 1 # execute print 'hello world'; y = z = 'a' # will produce internally # x = 1 # print 'hello world'; y = z = 'a' # and each *line* (not each statement, we don't do python syntax parsing) is # executed in its own try/except block. execute # Note for the adventurous: you can use this to define your own names for the # magic functions, by playing some namespace tricks: # execute __IPYTHON__.magic_pf = __IPYTHON__.magic_profile # defines %pf as a new name for %profile. #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section: Pyhton files to load and execute. # Put here the full names of files you want executed with execfile(file). If # you want complicated initialization, just write whatever you want in a # regular python file and load it from here. # Filenames defined here (which *must* include the extension) are searched for # through all of sys.path. Since IPython adds your .ipython directory to # sys.path, they can also be placed in your .ipython dir and will be # found. Otherwise (if you want to execute things not in .ipyton nor in # sys.path) give a full path (you can use ~, it gets expanded) # Example: # execfile file1.py ~/file2.py # will generate # execfile('file1.py') # execfile('_path_to_your_home/file2.py') # As before, each file gets its own try/except block. execfile # If you are feeling adventurous, you can even add functionality to IPython # through here. IPython works through a global variable called __ip which # exists at the time when these files are read. If you know what you are doing # (read the source) you can add functions to __ip in files loaded here. # The file example-magic.py contains a simple but correct example. Try it: # execfile example-magic.py # Look at the examples in IPython/iplib.py for more details on how these magic # functions need to process their arguments. #--------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Section: aliases for system shell commands # Here you can define your own names for system commands. The syntax is # similar to that of the builtin %alias function: # alias alias_name command_string # The resulting aliases are auto-generated magic functions (hence usable as # %alias_name) # For example: # alias myls ls -la # will define 'myls' as an alias for executing the system command 'ls -la'. # This allows you to customize IPython's environment to have the same aliases # you are accustomed to from your own shell. # You can also define aliases with parameters using %s specifiers (one per # parameter): # alias parts echo first %s second %s # will give you in IPython: # >>> %parts A B # first A second B # Use one 'alias' statement per alias you wish to define. # alias #************************* end of file <ipythonrc> ************************
