Line magics
===========

.. magic:: alias

    Define an alias for a system command.
    
    '%alias alias_name cmd' defines 'alias_name' as an alias for 'cmd'
    
    Then, typing 'alias_name params' will execute the system command 'cmd
    params' (from your underlying operating system).
    
    Aliases have lower precedence than magic functions and Python normal
    variables, so if 'foo' is both a Python variable and an alias, the
    alias can not be executed until 'del foo' removes the Python variable.
    
    You can use the %l specifier in an alias definition to represent the
    whole line when the alias is called.  For example::
    
      In [2]: alias bracket echo "Input in brackets: <%l>"
      In [3]: bracket hello world
      Input in brackets: <hello world>
    
    You can also define aliases with parameters using %s specifiers (one
    per parameter)::
    
      In [1]: alias parts echo first %s second %s
      In [2]: %parts A B
      first A second B
      In [3]: %parts A
      Incorrect number of arguments: 2 expected.
      parts is an alias to: 'echo first %s second %s'
    
    Note that %l and %s are mutually exclusive.  You can only use one or
    the other in your aliases.
    
    Aliases expand Python variables just like system calls using ! or !!
    do: all expressions prefixed with '$' get expanded.  For details of
    the semantic rules, see PEP-215:
    https://peps.python.org/pep-0215/.  This is the library used by
    IPython for variable expansion.  If you want to access a true shell
    variable, an extra $ is necessary to prevent its expansion by
    IPython::
    
      In [6]: alias show echo
      In [7]: PATH='A Python string'
      In [8]: show $PATH
      A Python string
      In [9]: show $$PATH
      /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
    
    You can use the alias facility to access all of $PATH.  See the %rehashx
    function, which automatically creates aliases for the contents of your
    $PATH.
    
    If called with no parameters, %alias prints the current alias table
    for your system.  For posix systems, the default aliases are 'cat',
    'cp', 'mv', 'rm', 'rmdir', and 'mkdir', and other platform-specific
    aliases are added.  For windows-based systems, the default aliases are
    'copy', 'ddir', 'echo', 'ls', 'ldir', 'mkdir', 'ren', and 'rmdir'.
    
    You can see the definition of alias by adding a question mark in the
    end::
    
      In [1]: cat?
      Repr: <alias cat for 'cat'>

.. magic:: alias_magic

    ::
    
      %alias_magic [-l] [-c] [-p PARAMS] name target
    
    Create an alias for an existing line or cell magic.
    
    Examples

    ::
    
      In [1]: %alias_magic t timeit
      Created `%t` as an alias for `%timeit`.
      Created `%%t` as an alias for `%%timeit`.
    
      In [2]: %t -n1 pass
      107 ns ± 43.6 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
    
      In [3]: %%t -n1
         ...: pass
         ...:
      107 ns ± 58.3 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 1 loop each)
    
      In [4]: %alias_magic --cell whereami pwd
      UsageError: Cell magic function `%%pwd` not found.
      In [5]: %alias_magic --line whereami pwd
      Created `%whereami` as an alias for `%pwd`.
    
      In [6]: %whereami
      Out[6]: '/home/testuser'
    
      In [7]: %alias_magic h history -p "-l 30" --line
      Created `%h` as an alias for `%history -l 30`.
    
    positional arguments:
      name                  Name of the magic to be created.
      target                Name of the existing line or cell magic.
    
    options:
      -l, --line            Create a line magic alias.
      -c, --cell            Create a cell magic alias.
      -p PARAMS, --params PARAMS
                            Parameters passed to the magic function.

.. magic:: autoawait

    
    Allow to change the status of the autoawait option.
    
    This allow you to set a specific asynchronous code runner.
    
    If no value is passed, print the currently used asynchronous integration
    and whether it is activated.
    
    It can take a number of value evaluated in the following order:
    
    - False/false/off deactivate autoawait integration
    - True/true/on activate autoawait integration using configured default
      loop
    - asyncio/curio/trio activate autoawait integration and use integration
      with said library.
    
    - `sync` turn on the pseudo-sync integration (mostly used for
      `IPython.embed()` which does not run IPython with a real eventloop and
      deactivate running asynchronous code. Turning on Asynchronous code with
      the pseudo sync loop is undefined behavior and may lead IPython to crash.
    
    If the passed parameter does not match any of the above and is a python
    identifier, get said object from user namespace and set it as the
    runner, and activate autoawait.
    
    If the object is a fully qualified object name, attempt to import it and
    set it as the runner, and activate autoawait.
    
    The exact behavior of autoawait is experimental and subject to change
    across version of IPython and Python.

.. magic:: autocall

    Make functions callable without having to type parentheses.
    
    Usage:
    
       %autocall [mode]
    
    The mode can be one of: 0->Off, 1->Smart, 2->Full.  If not given, the
    value is toggled on and off (remembering the previous state).
    
    In more detail, these values mean:
    
    0 -> fully disabled
    
    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 [2]: float
      ------> float()
      Out[2]: 0.0
    
    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'
    
    # all-random (note for auto-testing)

.. magic:: automagic

    Make magic functions callable without having to type the initial %.
    
    Without arguments toggles on/off (when off, you must call it as
    %automagic, of course).  With arguments it sets the value, and you can
    use any of (case insensitive):
    
     - on, 1, True: to activate
    
     - off, 0, False: to deactivate.
    
    Note that magic functions have lowest priority, so if there's a
    variable whose name collides with that of a magic fn, automagic won't
    work for that function (you get the variable instead). However, if you
    delete the variable (del var), the previously shadowed magic function
    becomes visible to automagic again.

.. magic:: bookmark

    Manage IPython's bookmark system.
    
    %bookmark <name>       - set bookmark to current dir
    %bookmark <name> <dir> - set bookmark to <dir>
    %bookmark -l           - list all bookmarks
    %bookmark -d <name>    - remove bookmark
    %bookmark -r           - remove all bookmarks
    
    You can later on access a bookmarked folder with::
    
      %cd -b <name>
    
    or simply '%cd <name>' if there is no directory called <name> AND
    there is such a bookmark defined.
    
    Your bookmarks persist through IPython sessions, but they are
    associated with each profile.

.. magic:: cd

    Change the current working directory.
    
    This command automatically maintains an internal list of directories
    you visit during your IPython session, in the variable ``_dh``. The
    command :magic:`%dhist` shows this history nicely formatted. You can
    also do ``cd -<tab>`` to see directory history conveniently.
    Usage:
    
      - ``cd 'dir'``: changes to directory 'dir'.
      - ``cd -``: changes to the last visited directory.
      - ``cd -<n>``: changes to the n-th directory in the directory history.
      - ``cd --foo``: change to directory that matches 'foo' in history
      - ``cd -b <bookmark_name>``: jump to a bookmark set by %bookmark
      - Hitting a tab key after ``cd -b`` allows you to tab-complete
        bookmark names.
    
      .. note::
        ``cd <bookmark_name>`` is enough if there is no directory
        ``<bookmark_name>``, but a bookmark with the name exists.
    
    Options:
    
    -q               Be quiet. Do not print the working directory after the
                      cd command is executed. By default IPython's cd
                      command does print this directory, since the default
                      prompts do not display path information.
    
    .. note::
       Note that ``!cd`` doesn't work for this purpose because the shell
       where ``!command`` runs is immediately discarded after executing
       'command'.
    
    Examples

    ::
    
      In [10]: cd parent/child
      /home/tsuser/parent/child

.. magic:: code_wrap

    ::
    
      %code_wrap [--remove] [--list] [--list-all] [name]
    
    Simple magic to quickly define a code transformer for all IPython's future input.
    
    ``__code__`` and ``__ret__`` are special variable that represent the code to run
    and the value of the last expression of ``__code__`` respectively.
    
    Examples

    
    .. ipython::
    
        In [1]: %%code_wrap before_after
           ...: print('before')
           ...: __code__
           ...: print('after')
           ...: __ret__
    
        In [2]: 1
        before
        after
        Out[2]: 1
    
        In [3]: %code_wrap --list
        before_after
    
        In [4]: %code_wrap --list-all
        before_after :
            print('before')
            __code__
            print('after')
            __ret__
    
        In [5]: %code_wrap --remove before_after
    
    positional arguments:
      name
    
    options:
      --remove    remove the current transformer
      --list      list existing transformers name
      --list-all  list existing transformers name and code template

.. magic:: colors

    Switch color scheme/theme globally for IPython
    
    Examples

    To get a plain black and white terminal::
    
      %colors nocolor

.. magic:: conda

    Run the conda package manager within the current kernel.
    
    Usage:
      %conda install [pkgs]

.. magic:: config

    configure IPython
    
        %config Class[.trait=value]
    
    This magic exposes most of the IPython config system. Any
    Configurable class should be able to be configured with the simple
    line::
    
        %config Class.trait=value
    
    Where `value` will be resolved in the user's namespace, if it is an
    expression or variable name.
    
    Examples

    
    To see what classes are available for config, pass no arguments::
    
        In [1]: %config
        Available objects for config:
            AliasManager
            DisplayFormatter
            HistoryManager
            IPCompleter
            LoggingMagics
            MagicsManager
            OSMagics
            PrefilterManager
            ScriptMagics
            TerminalInteractiveShell
    
    To view what is configurable on a given class, just pass the class
    name::
    
        In [2]: %config LoggingMagics
        LoggingMagics(Magics) options

        LoggingMagics.quiet=<Bool>
            Suppress output of log state when logging is enabled
            Current: False
    
    but the real use is in setting values::
    
        In [3]: %config LoggingMagics.quiet = True
    
    and these values are read from the user_ns if they are variables::
    
        In [4]: feeling_quiet=False
    
        In [5]: %config LoggingMagics.quiet = feeling_quiet

.. magic:: debug

    ::
    
      %debug [--breakpoint FILE:LINE] [statement ...]
    
    Activate the interactive debugger.
    
    This magic command support two ways of activating debugger.
    One is to activate debugger before executing code.  This way, you
    can set a break point, to step through the code from the point.
    You can use this mode by giving statements to execute and optionally
    a breakpoint.
    
    The other one is to activate debugger in post-mortem mode.  You can
    activate this mode simply running %debug without any argument.
    If an exception has just occurred, this lets you inspect its stack
    frames interactively.  Note that this will always work only on the last
    traceback that occurred, so you must call this quickly after an
    exception that you wish to inspect has fired, because if another one
    occurs, it clobbers the previous one.
    
    If you want IPython to automatically do this on every exception, see
    the %pdb magic for more details.
    
    .. versionchanged:: 7.3
        When running code, user variables are no longer expanded,
        the magic line is always left unmodified.
    
    positional arguments:
      statement             Code to run in debugger. You can omit this in cell magic mode.
    
    options:
      --breakpoint <FILE:LINE>, -b <FILE:LINE>
                            Set break point at LINE in FILE.

.. magic:: dhist

    Print your history of visited directories.
    
    %dhist       -> print full history\
    %dhist n     -> print last n entries only\
    %dhist n1 n2 -> print entries between n1 and n2 (n2 not included)\
    
    This history is automatically maintained by the %cd command, and
    always available as the global list variable _dh. You can use %cd -<n>
    to go to directory number <n>.
    
    Note that most of time, you should view directory history by entering
    cd -<TAB>.

.. magic:: dirs

    Return the current directory stack.

.. magic:: doctest_mode

    Toggle doctest mode on and off.
    
    This mode is intended to make IPython behave as much as possible like a
    plain Python shell, from the perspective of how its prompts, exceptions
    and output look.  This makes it easy to copy and paste parts of a
    session into doctests.  It does so by:
    
    - Changing the prompts to the classic ``>>>`` ones.
    - Changing the exception reporting mode to 'Plain'.
    - Disabling pretty-printing of output.
    
    Note that IPython also supports the pasting of code snippets that have
    leading '>>>' and '...' prompts in them.  This means that you can paste
    doctests from files or docstrings (even if they have leading
    whitespace), and the code will execute correctly.  You can then use
    '%history -t' to see the translated history; this will give you the
    input after removal of all the leading prompts and whitespace, which
    can be pasted back into an editor.
    
    With these features, you can switch into this mode easily whenever you
    need to do testing and changes to doctests, without having to leave
    your existing IPython session.

.. magic:: edit

    Bring up an editor and execute the resulting code.
    
    Usage:
      %edit [options] [args]
    
    %edit runs IPython's editor hook. The default version of this hook is
    set to call the editor specified by your $EDITOR environment variable.
    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
    ``TerminalInteractiveShell.editor`` option in your configuration file.
    This is useful if you wish to use a different editor from your typical
    default with IPython (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 <number>: 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 possibilities exist:
    
    - If the argument is a filename, IPython will load that into the
      editor. It will execute its contents with execfile() when you exit,
      loading any code in the file into your interactive namespace.
    
    - The arguments are ranges of input history,  e.g. "7 ~1/4-6".
      The syntax is the same as in the %history magic.
    
    - If the argument is a string variable, its contents are 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.
    
    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 _<NUMBER> or Out[<NUMBER>], where <NUMBER> 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]: edit
      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]: edit 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 [5]: edit
      Editing... done. Executing edited code...
      hello
      Out[5]: "print('hello')\n"
    
    Now we call it again with the previous output (stored in _)::
    
      In [6]: edit _
      Editing... done. Executing edited code...
      hello world
      Out[6]: "print('hello world')\n"
    
    Now we call it with the output #8 (stored in _8, also as Out[8])::
    
      In [7]: edit _8
      Editing... done. Executing edited code...
      hello again
      Out[7]: "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.core.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.

.. magic:: env

    Get, set, or list environment variables.
    
    Usage:\
    
      :``%env``: lists all environment variables/values
      :``%env var``: get value for var
      :``%env var val``: set value for var
      :``%env var=val``: set value for var
      :``%env var=$val``: set value for var, using python expansion if possible

.. magic:: gui

    Enable or disable IPython GUI event loop integration.
    
    %gui [GUINAME]
    
    This magic replaces IPython's threaded shells that were activated
    using the (pylab/wthread/etc.) command line flags.  GUI toolkits
    can now be enabled at runtime and keyboard
    interrupts should work without any problems.  The following toolkits
    are supported:  wxPython, PyQt4, PyGTK, Tk and Cocoa (OSX)::
    
        %gui wx      # enable wxPython event loop integration
        %gui qt      # enable PyQt/PySide event loop integration

.. magic:: history

    ::
    
      %history [-n] [-o] [-p] [-t] [-f FILENAME] [-g [PATTERN ...]] [-l [LIMIT]] [-u] [range ...]
    
    Print input history (_i<n> variables), with most recent last.
    
    By default, input history is printed without line numbers so it can be
    directly pasted into an editor. Use -n to show them.
    
    By default, all input history from the current session is displayed.
    Ranges of history can be indicated using the syntax:
    
    ``4``
        Line 4, current session
    ``4-6``
        Lines 4-6, current session
    ``243/1-5``
        Lines 1-5, session 243
    ``~2/7``
        Line 7, session 2 before current
    ``~8/1-~6/5``
        From the first line of 8 sessions ago, to the fifth line of 6
        sessions ago.
    
    Multiple ranges can be entered, separated by spaces
    
    The same syntax is used by %macro, %save, %edit, %rerun
    
    Examples

    ::
    
      In [6]: %history -n 4-6
      4:a = 12
      5:print(a**2)
      6:%history -n 4-6
    
    positional arguments:
      range
    
    options:
      -n                  print line numbers for each input. This feature is only available if numbered prompts are in use.
      -o                  also print outputs for each input.
      -p                  print classic '>>>' python prompts before each input. This is useful for making documentation, and in conjunction with -o, for producing doctest-ready output.
      -t                  print the 'translated' history, as IPython understands it. IPython filters your input and converts it all into valid Python source before executing it (things like magics or aliases are turned into function calls, for example). With this option, you'll see the native history instead of the user-entered version: '%cd /' will be seen as 'get_ipython().run_line_magic("cd", "/")' instead of '%cd /'.
      -f FILENAME         FILENAME: instead of printing the output to the screen, redirect it to the given file. The file is always overwritten, though *when it can*, IPython asks for confirmation first. In particular, running the command 'history -f FILENAME' from the IPython Notebook interface will replace FILENAME even if it already exists *without* confirmation.
      -g <[PATTERN ...]>  treat the arg as a glob pattern to search for in (full) history. This includes the saved history (almost all commands ever written). The pattern may contain '?' to match one unknown character and '*' to match any number of unknown characters. Use '%hist -g' to show full saved history (may be very long).
      -l <[LIMIT]>        get the last n lines from all sessions. Specify n as a single arg, or the default is the last 10 lines.
      -u                  when searching history using `-g`, show only unique history.

.. magic:: killbgscripts

    Kill all BG processes started by %%script and its family.

.. magic:: load

    Load code into the current frontend.
    
    Usage:\
      %load [options] source
    
      where source can be a filename, URL, input history range, macro, or
      element in the user namespace
    
    If no arguments are given, loads the history of this session up to this
    point.
    
    Options:
    
      -r <lines>: Specify lines or ranges of lines to load from the source.
      Ranges could be specified as x-y (x..y) or in python-style x:y 
      (x..(y-1)). Both limits x and y can be left blank (meaning the 
      beginning and end of the file, respectively).
    
      -s <symbols>: Specify function or classes to load from python source. 
    
      -y : Don't ask confirmation for loading source above 200 000 characters.
    
      -n : Include the user's namespace when searching for source code.
    
    This magic command can either take a local filename, a URL, an history
    range (see %history) or a macro as argument, it will prompt for
    confirmation before loading source with more than 200 000 characters, unless
    -y flag is passed or if the frontend does not support raw_input::
    
    %load
    %load myscript.py
    %load 7-27
    %load myMacro
    %load http://www.example.com/myscript.py
    %load -r 5-10 myscript.py
    %load -r 10-20,30,40: foo.py
    %load -s MyClass,wonder_function myscript.py
    %load -n MyClass
    %load -n my_module.wonder_function

.. magic:: load_ext

    Load an IPython extension by its module name.

.. magic:: loadpy

    Alias of `%load`
    
    `%loadpy` has gained some flexibility and dropped the requirement of a `.py`
    extension. So it has been renamed simply into %load. You can look at
    `%load`'s docstring for more info.

.. magic:: logoff

    Temporarily stop logging.
    
    You must have previously started logging.

.. magic:: logon

    Restart logging.
    
    This function is for restarting logging which you've temporarily
    stopped with %logoff. For starting logging for the first time, you
    must use the %logstart function, which allows you to specify an
    optional log filename.

.. magic:: logstart

    Start logging anywhere in a session.
    
    %logstart [-o|-r|-t|-q] [log_name [log_mode]]
    
    If no name is given, it defaults to a file named 'ipython_log.py' in your
    current directory, in 'rotate' mode (see below).
    
    '%logstart name' saves to file 'name' in 'backup' mode.  It saves your
    history up to that point and then continues logging.
    
    %logstart takes a second optional parameter: logging mode. This can be one
    of (note that the modes are given unquoted):
    
    append
        Keep logging at the end of any existing file.
    
    backup
        Rename any existing file to name~ and start name.
    
    global
        Append to  a single logfile in your home directory.
    
    over
        Overwrite any existing log.
    
    rotate
        Create rotating logs: name.1~, name.2~, etc.
    
    Options:
    
      -o
        log also IPython's output. In this mode, all commands which
        generate an Out[NN] prompt are recorded to the logfile, right after
        their corresponding input line. The output lines are always
        prepended with a '#[Out]# ' marker, so that the log remains valid
        Python code.
    
      Since this marker is always the same, filtering only the output from
      a log is very easy, using for example a simple awk call::
    
        awk -F'#\[Out\]# ' '{if($2) {print $2}}' ipython_log.py
    
      -r
        log 'raw' input.  Normally, IPython's logs contain the processed
        input, so that user lines are logged in their final form, converted
        into valid Python.  For example, %Exit is logged as
        _ip.run_line_magic("Exit").  If the -r flag is given, all input is logged
        exactly as typed, with no transformations applied.
    
      -t
        put timestamps before each input line logged (these are put in
        comments).
    
      -q
        suppress output of logstate message when logging is invoked

.. magic:: logstate

    Print the status of the logging system.

.. magic:: logstop

    Fully stop logging and close log file.
    
    In order to start logging again, a new %logstart call needs to be made,
    possibly (though not necessarily) with a new filename, mode and other
    options.

.. magic:: lsmagic

    List currently available magic functions.

.. magic:: macro

    Define a macro for future re-execution. It accepts ranges of history,
    filenames or string objects.
    
    Usage::
    
      %macro [options] name n1-n2 n3-n4 ... n5 .. n6 ...
    
    Options:
    
    -r
      Use 'raw' input.  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 at the
      command line is used instead.
    
    -q
      Quiet macro definition.  By default, a tag line is printed
      to indicate the macro has been created, and then the contents of
      the macro are printed.  If this option is given, then no printout
      is produced once the macro is created.
    
    This will define a global variable called `name` which is a string
    made of joining the slices and lines you specify (n1,n2,... numbers
    above) from your input history into a single string. This variable
    acts like an automatic function which re-executes those lines as if
    you had typed them. You just type 'name' at the prompt and the code
    executes.
    
    The syntax for indicating input ranges is described in %history.
    
    Note: as a 'hidden' feature, you can also use traditional python slice
    notation, where N:M means numbers N through M-1.
    
    For example, if your history contains (print using %hist -n )::
    
      44: x=1
      45: y=3
      46: z=x+y
      47: print(x)
      48: a=5
      49: print('x',x,'y',y)
    
    you can create a macro with lines 44 through 47 (included) and line 49
    called my_macro with::
    
      In [55]: %macro my_macro 44-47 49
    
    Now, typing `my_macro` (without quotes) will re-execute all this code
    in one pass.
    
    You don't need to give the line-numbers in order, and any given line
    number can appear multiple times. You can assemble macros with any
    lines from your input history in any order.
    
    The macro is a simple object which holds its value in an attribute,
    but IPython's display system checks for macros and executes them as
    code instead of printing them when you type their name.
    
    You can view a macro's contents by explicitly printing it with::
    
      print(macro_name)

.. magic:: magic

    Print information about the magic function system.
    
    Supported formats: -latex, -brief, -rest

.. magic:: mamba

    Run the mamba package manager within the current kernel.
    
    Usage:
      %mamba install [pkgs]

.. magic:: matplotlib

    ::
    
      %matplotlib [-l] [gui]
    
    Set up matplotlib to work interactively.
    
    This function lets you activate matplotlib interactive support
    at any point during an IPython session. It does not import anything
    into the interactive namespace.
    
    If you are using the inline matplotlib backend in the IPython Notebook
    you can set which figure formats are enabled using the following::
    
        In [1]: from matplotlib_inline.backend_inline import set_matplotlib_formats
    
        In [2]: set_matplotlib_formats('pdf', 'svg')
    
    The default for inline figures sets `bbox_inches` to 'tight'. This can
    cause discrepancies between the displayed image and the identical
    image created using `savefig`. This behavior can be disabled using the
    `%config` magic::
    
        In [3]: %config InlineBackend.print_figure_kwargs = {'bbox_inches':None}
    
    In addition, see the docstrings of
    `matplotlib_inline.backend_inline.set_matplotlib_formats` and
    `matplotlib_inline.backend_inline.set_matplotlib_close` for more information on
    changing additional behaviors of the inline backend.
    
    Examples

    To enable the inline backend for usage with the IPython Notebook::
    
        In [1]: %matplotlib inline
    
    In this case, where the matplotlib default is TkAgg::
    
        In [2]: %matplotlib
        Using matplotlib backend: TkAgg
    
    But you can explicitly request a different GUI backend::
    
        In [3]: %matplotlib qt
    
    You can list the available backends using the -l/--list option::
    
       In [4]: %matplotlib --list
       Available matplotlib backends: ['osx', 'qt4', 'qt5', 'gtk3', 'gtk4', 'notebook', 'wx', 'qt', 'nbagg',
       'gtk', 'tk', 'inline']
    
    positional arguments:
      gui         Name of the matplotlib backend to use such as 'qt' or 'widget'. If given, the corresponding matplotlib backend is used, otherwise it will be matplotlib's default (which you can set in your matplotlib config file).
    
    options:
      -l, --list  Show available matplotlib backends

.. magic:: micromamba

    Run the conda package manager within the current kernel.
    
    Usage:
      %micromamba install [pkgs]

.. magic:: notebook

    ::
    
      %notebook filename
    
    Export and convert IPython notebooks.
    
    This function can export the current IPython history to a notebook file.
    For example, to export the history to "foo.ipynb" do "%notebook foo.ipynb".
    
    positional arguments:
      filename  Notebook name or filename

.. magic:: page

    Pretty print the object and display it through a pager.
    
    %page [options] OBJECT
    
    If no object is given, use _ (last output).
    
    Options:
    
      -r: page str(object), don't pretty-print it.

.. magic:: pastebin

    Upload code to dpaste.com, returning the URL.
    
    Usage:\
      %pastebin [-d "Custom description"][-e 24] 1-7
    
    The argument can be an input history range, a filename, or the name of a
    string or macro.
    
    If no arguments are given, uploads the history of this session up to
    this point.
    
    Options:
    
      -d: Pass a custom description. The default will say
          "Pasted from IPython".
      -e: Pass number of days for the link to be expired.
          The default will be 7 days.

.. magic:: pdb

    Control the automatic calling of the pdb interactive debugger.
    
    Call as '%pdb on', '%pdb 1', '%pdb off' or '%pdb 0'. If called without
    argument it works as a toggle.
    
    When an exception is triggered, IPython can optionally call the
    interactive pdb debugger after the traceback printout. %pdb toggles
    this feature on and off.
    
    The initial state of this feature is set in your configuration
    file (the option is ``InteractiveShell.pdb``).
    
    If you want to just activate the debugger AFTER an exception has fired,
    without having to type '%pdb on' and rerunning your code, you can use
    the %debug magic.

.. magic:: pdef

    Print the call signature for any callable object.
    
    If the object is a class, print the constructor information.
    
    Examples

    ::
    
      In [3]: %pdef urllib.urlopen
      urllib.urlopen(url, data=None, proxies=None)

.. magic:: pdoc

    Print the docstring for an object.
    
    If the given object is a class, it will print both the class and the
    constructor docstrings.

.. magic:: pfile

    Print (or run through pager) the file where an object is defined.
    
    The file opens at the line where the object definition begins. IPython
    will honor the environment variable PAGER if set, and otherwise will
    do its best to print the file in a convenient form.
    
    If the given argument is not an object currently defined, IPython will
    try to interpret it as a filename (automatically adding a .py extension
    if needed). You can thus use %pfile as a syntax highlighting code
    viewer.

.. magic:: pinfo

    Provide detailed information about an object.
    
    '%pinfo object' is just a synonym for object? or ?object.

.. magic:: pinfo2

    Provide extra detailed information about an object.
    
    '%pinfo2 object' is just a synonym for object?? or ??object.

.. magic:: pip

    Run the pip package manager within the current kernel.
    
    Usage:
      %pip install [pkgs]

.. magic:: popd

    Change to directory popped off the top of the stack.

.. magic:: pprint

    Toggle pretty printing on/off.

.. magic:: precision

    Set floating point precision for pretty printing.
    
    Can set either integer precision or a format string.
    
    If numpy has been imported and precision is an int,
    numpy display precision will also be set, via ``numpy.set_printoptions``.
    
    If no argument is given, defaults will be restored.
    
    Examples

    ::
    
        In [1]: from math import pi
    
        In [2]: %precision 3
        Out[2]: '%.3f'
    
        In [3]: pi
        Out[3]: 3.142
    
        In [4]: %precision %i
        Out[4]: '%i'
    
        In [5]: pi
        Out[5]: 3
    
        In [6]: %precision %e
        Out[6]: '%e'
    
        In [7]: pi**10
        Out[7]: 9.364805e+04
    
        In [8]: %precision
        Out[8]: '%r'
    
        In [9]: pi**10
        Out[9]: 93648.047476082982

.. magic:: prun

    Run a statement through the python code profiler.
    
    **Usage, in line mode**::
    
      %prun [options] statement
    
    **Usage, in cell mode**::
    
      %%prun [options] [statement]
      code...
      code...
    
    In cell mode, the additional code lines are appended to the (possibly
    empty) statement in the first line.  Cell mode allows you to easily
    profile multiline blocks without having to put them in a separate
    function.
    
    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 <limit>
      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 <key>
      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 <filename>
      save profile results as shown on screen to a text
      file. The profile is still shown on screen.
    
    -D <filename>
      save (via dump_stats) profile statistics to given
      filename. This data is in a format understood 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.
    
    -q
      suppress output to the pager.  Best used with -T and/or -D above.
    
    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.
    
    You can read the complete documentation for the profile module with::
    
      In [1]: import profile; profile.help()
    
    .. versionchanged:: 7.3
        User variables are no longer expanded,
        the magic line is always left unmodified.

.. magic:: psearch

    Search for object in namespaces by wildcard.
    
    %psearch [options] PATTERN [OBJECT TYPE]
    
    Note: ? can be used as a synonym for %psearch, at the beginning or at
    the end: both a*? and ?a* are equivalent to '%psearch a*'.  Still, the
    rest of the command line must be unchanged (options come first), so
    for example the following forms are equivalent
    
    %psearch -i a* function
    -i a* function?
    ?-i a* function
    
    Arguments:
    
      PATTERN
    
      where PATTERN is a string containing * as a wildcard similar to its
      use in a shell.  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 omitted from the
      search.
    
      -i/-c: make the pattern case insensitive/sensitive.  If neither of
      these options are given, the default is read from your configuration
      file, with the option ``InteractiveShell.wildcards_case_sensitive``.
      If this option is not specified in your configuration file, IPython's
      internal default is to do a case sensitive search.
    
      -e/-s NAMESPACE: exclude/search a given namespace.  The pattern you
      specify can be searched in any of the following namespaces:
      'builtin', 'user', 'user_global','internal', 'alias', where
      'builtin' and 'user' are the search defaults.  Note that you should
      not use quotes when specifying namespaces.
    
      -l: List all available object types for object matching. This function
      can be used without arguments.
    
      'Builtin' contains the python module builtin, 'user' contains all
      user data, 'alias' only contain the shell aliases and no python
      objects, 'internal' contains objects used by IPython.  The
      'user_global' namespace is only used by embedded IPython instances,
      and it contains module-level globals.  You can add namespaces to the
      search with -s or exclude them with -e (these options can be given
      more than once).
    
    Examples

    ::
    
      %psearch a*            -> objects beginning with an a
      %psearch -e builtin a* -> objects NOT in the builtin space starting in a
      %psearch a* function   -> all functions beginning with an a
      %psearch re.e*         -> objects beginning with an e in module re
      %psearch r*.e*         -> objects that start with e in modules starting in r
      %psearch r*.* string   -> all strings in modules beginning with r
    
    Case sensitive search::
    
      %psearch -c a*         list all object beginning with lower case a
    
    Show objects beginning with a single _::
    
      %psearch -a _*         list objects beginning with a single underscore
    
    List available objects::
    
      %psearch -l            list all available object types

.. magic:: psource

    Print (or run through pager) the source code for an object.

.. magic:: pushd

    Place the current dir on stack and change directory.
    
    Usage:\
      %pushd ['dirname']

.. magic:: pwd

    Return the current working directory path.
    
    Examples

    ::
    
      In [9]: pwd
      Out[9]: '/home/tsuser/sprint/ipython'

.. magic:: pycat

    Show a syntax-highlighted file through a pager.
    
    This magic is similar to the cat utility, but it will assume the file
    to be Python source and will show it with syntax highlighting.
    
    This magic command can either take a local filename, an url,
    an history range (see %history) or a macro as argument.
    
    If no parameter is given, prints out history of current session up to
    this point. ::
    
    %pycat myscript.py
    %pycat 7-27
    %pycat myMacro
    %pycat http://www.example.com/myscript.py

.. magic:: pylab

    ::
    
      %pylab [--no-import-all] [gui]
    
    Load numpy and matplotlib to work interactively.
    
    This function lets you activate pylab (matplotlib, numpy and
    interactive support) at any point during an IPython session.
    
    %pylab makes the following imports::
    
        import numpy
        import matplotlib
        from matplotlib import pylab, mlab, pyplot
        np = numpy
        plt = pyplot
    
        from IPython.display import display
        from IPython.core.pylabtools import figsize, getfigs
    
        from pylab import *
        from numpy import *
    
    If you pass `--no-import-all`, the last two `*` imports will be excluded.
    
    See the %matplotlib magic for more details about activating matplotlib
    without affecting the interactive namespace.
    
    positional arguments:
      gui              Name of the matplotlib backend to use such as 'qt' or 'widget'. If given, the corresponding matplotlib backend is used, otherwise it will be matplotlib's default (which you can set in your matplotlib config file).
    
    options:
      --no-import-all  Prevent IPython from performing ``import *`` into the interactive namespace. You can govern the default behavior of this flag with the InteractiveShellApp.pylab_import_all configurable.

.. magic:: quickref

    Show a quick reference sheet

.. magic:: recall

    Repeat a command, or get command to input line for editing.
    
    %recall and %rep are equivalent.
    
    - %recall (no arguments):
    
    Place a string version of last computation result (stored in the
    special '_' variable) to the next input prompt. Allows you to create
    elaborate command lines without using copy-paste::
    
         In[1]: l = ["hei", "vaan"]
         In[2]: "".join(l)
        Out[2]: heivaan
         In[3]: %recall
         In[4]: heivaan_ <== cursor blinking
    
    %recall 45
    
    Place history line 45 on the next input prompt. Use %hist to find
    out the number.
    
    %recall 1-4
    
    Combine the specified lines into one cell, and place it on the next
    input prompt. See %history for the slice syntax.
    
    %recall foo+bar
    
    If foo+bar can be evaluated in the user namespace, the result is
    placed at the next input prompt. Otherwise, the history is searched
    for lines which contain that substring, and the most recent one is
    placed at the next input prompt.

.. magic:: rehashx

    Update the alias table with all executable files in $PATH.
    
    rehashx explicitly checks that every entry in $PATH is a file
    with execute access (os.X_OK).
    
    Under Windows, it checks executability as a match against a
    '|'-separated string of extensions, stored in the IPython config
    variable win_exec_ext.  This defaults to 'exe|com|bat'.
    
    This function also resets the root module cache of module completer,
    used on slow filesystems.

.. magic:: reload_ext

    Reload an IPython extension by its module name.

.. magic:: rerun

    Re-run previous input
    
    By default, you can specify ranges of input history to be repeated
    (as with %history). With no arguments, it will repeat the last line.
    
    Options:
    
      -l <n> : Repeat the last n lines of input, not including the
      current command.
    
      -g foo : Repeat the most recent line which contains foo

.. magic:: reset

    Resets the namespace by removing all names defined by the user, if
    called without arguments, or by removing some types of objects, such
    as everything currently in IPython's In[] and Out[] containers (see
    the parameters for details).
    
    Parameters

    -f
        force reset without asking for confirmation.
    -s
        'Soft' reset: Only clears your namespace, leaving history intact.
        References to objects may be kept. By default (without this option),
        we do a 'hard' reset, giving you a new session and removing all
        references to objects from the current session.
    --aggressive
        Try to aggressively remove modules from sys.modules ; this
        may allow you to reimport Python modules that have been updated and
        pick up changes, but can have unintended consequences.
    
    in
        reset input history
    out
        reset output history
    dhist
        reset directory history
    array
        reset only variables that are NumPy arrays
    
    See Also

    reset_selective : invoked as ``%reset_selective``
    
    Examples

    ::
    
      In [6]: a = 1
    
      In [7]: a
      Out[7]: 1
    
      In [8]: 'a' in get_ipython().user_ns
      Out[8]: True
    
      In [9]: %reset -f
    
      In [1]: 'a' in get_ipython().user_ns
      Out[1]: False
    
      In [2]: %reset -f in
      Flushing input history
    
      In [3]: %reset -f dhist in
      Flushing directory history
      Flushing input history
    
    Notes

    Calling this magic from clients that do not implement standard input,
    such as the ipython notebook interface, will reset the namespace
    without confirmation.

.. magic:: reset_selective

    Resets the namespace by removing names defined by the user.
    
    Input/Output history are left around in case you need them.
    
    %reset_selective [-f] regex
    
    No action is taken if regex is not included
    
    Options
      -f : force reset without asking for confirmation.
    
    See Also

    reset : invoked as ``%reset``
    
    Examples

    We first fully reset the namespace so your output looks identical to
    this example for pedagogical reasons; in practice you do not need a
    full reset::
    
      In [1]: %reset -f
    
    Now, with a clean namespace we can make a few variables and use
    ``%reset_selective`` to only delete names that match our regexp::
    
      In [2]: a=1; b=2; c=3; b1m=4; b2m=5; b3m=6; b4m=7; b2s=8
    
      In [3]: who_ls
      Out[3]: ['a', 'b', 'b1m', 'b2m', 'b2s', 'b3m', 'b4m', 'c']
    
      In [4]: %reset_selective -f b[2-3]m
    
      In [5]: who_ls
      Out[5]: ['a', 'b', 'b1m', 'b2s', 'b4m', 'c']
    
      In [6]: %reset_selective -f d
    
      In [7]: who_ls
      Out[7]: ['a', 'b', 'b1m', 'b2s', 'b4m', 'c']
    
      In [8]: %reset_selective -f c
    
      In [9]: who_ls
      Out[9]: ['a', 'b', 'b1m', 'b2s', 'b4m']
    
      In [10]: %reset_selective -f b
    
      In [11]: who_ls
      Out[11]: ['a']
    
    Notes

    Calling this magic from clients that do not implement standard input,
    such as the ipython notebook interface, will reset the namespace
    without confirmation.

.. magic:: run

    Run the named file inside IPython as a program.
    
    Usage::
    
      %run [-n -i -e -G]
           [( -t [-N<N>] | -d [-b<N>] | -p [profile options] )]
           ( -m mod | filename ) [args]
    
    The filename argument should be either a pure Python script (with
    extension ``.py``), or a file with custom IPython syntax (such as
    magics). If the latter, the file can be either a script with ``.ipy``
    extension, or a Jupyter notebook with ``.ipynb`` extension. When running
    a Jupyter notebook, the output from print statements and other
    displayed objects will appear in the terminal (even matplotlib figures
    will open, if a terminal-compliant backend is being used). Note that,
    at the system command line, the ``jupyter run`` command offers similar
    functionality for executing notebooks (albeit currently with some
    differences in supported options).
    
    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
    (except for sharing global objects such as previously imported
    modules). 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.
    
    Arguments are expanded using shell-like glob match.  Patterns
    '*', '?', '[seq]' and '[!seq]' can be used.  Additionally,
    tilde '~' will be expanded into user's home directory.  Unlike
    real shells, quotation does not suppress expansions.  Use
    *two* back slashes (e.g. ``\\*``) to suppress expansions.
    To completely disable these expansions, you can use -G flag.
    
    On Windows systems, the use of single quotes `'` when specifying
    a file is not supported. Use double quotes `"`.
    
    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<N>`` option can be given, where <N>
      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 <N> 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.
    
      Or you can specify a breakpoint in a different file::
    
          %run -d -b myotherfile.py:20 myscript
    
      When the pdb debugger starts, you will see a (Pdb) prompt.  You must
      first enter 'c' (without quotes) 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[nb], the file is run as ipython script,
    just as if the commands were written on IPython prompt.
    
    -m
      specify module name to load instead of script path. Similar to
      the -m option for the python interpreter. Use this option last if you
      want to combine with other %run options. Unlike the python interpreter
      only source modules are allowed no .pyc or .pyo files.
      For example::
    
          %run -m example
    
      will run the example module.
    
    -G
      disable shell-like glob expansion of arguments.

.. magic:: save

    Save a set of lines or a macro to a given filename.
    
    Usage:\
      %save [options] filename [history]
    
    Options:
    
      -r: use 'raw' input.  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 at the
      command line is used instead.
    
      -f: force overwrite.  If file exists, %save will prompt for overwrite
      unless -f is given.
    
      -a: append to the file instead of overwriting it.
    
    The history argument uses the same syntax as %history for input ranges,
    then saves the lines to the filename you specify.
    
    If no ranges are specified, saves history of the current session up to
    this point.
    
    It adds a '.py' extension to the file if you don't do so yourself, and
    it asks for confirmation before overwriting existing files.
    
    If `-r` option is used, the default extension is `.ipy`.

.. magic:: sc

    Shell capture - run shell command and capture output (DEPRECATED use !).
    
    DEPRECATED. Suboptimal, retained for backwards compatibility.
    
    You should use the form 'var = !command' instead. Example:
    
     "%sc -l myfiles = ls ~" should now be written as
    
     "myfiles = !ls ~"
    
    myfiles.s, myfiles.l and myfiles.n still apply as documented
    below.
    

    %sc [options] varname=command
    
    IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
    will then update the user's interactive namespace with a variable
    called varname, containing the value of the call.  Your command can
    contain shell wildcards, pipes, etc.
    
    The '=' sign in the syntax is mandatory, and the variable name you
    supply must follow Python's standard conventions for valid names.
    
    (A special format without variable name exists for internal use)
    
    Options:
    
      -l: list output.  Split the output on newlines into a list before
      assigning it to the given variable.  By default the output is stored
      as a single string.
    
      -v: verbose.  Print the contents of the variable.
    
    In most cases you should not need to split as a list, because the
    returned value is a special type of string which can automatically
    provide its contents either as a list (split on newlines) or as a
    space-separated string.  These are convenient, respectively, either
    for sequential processing or to be passed to a shell command.
    
    For example::
    
        # Capture into variable a
        In [1]: sc a=ls *py
    
        # a is a string with embedded newlines
        In [2]: a
        Out[2]: 'setup.py\nwin32_manual_post_install.py'
    
        # which can be seen as a list:
        In [3]: a.l
        Out[3]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']
    
        # or as a whitespace-separated string:
        In [4]: a.s
        Out[4]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
    
        # a.s is useful to pass as a single command line:
        In [5]: !wc -l $a.s
          146 setup.py
          130 win32_manual_post_install.py
          276 total
    
        # while the list form is useful to loop over:
        In [6]: for f in a.l:
           ...:      !wc -l $f
           ...:
        146 setup.py
        130 win32_manual_post_install.py
    
    Similarly, the lists returned by the -l option are also special, in
    the sense that you can equally invoke the .s attribute on them to
    automatically get a whitespace-separated string from their contents::
    
        In [7]: sc -l b=ls *py
    
        In [8]: b
        Out[8]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']
    
        In [9]: b.s
        Out[9]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
    
    In summary, both the lists and strings used for output capture have
    the following special attributes::
    
        .l (or .list) : value as list.
        .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
        .s (or .spstr): value as space-separated string.

.. magic:: set_env

    Set environment variables.  Assumptions are that either "val" is a
    name in the user namespace, or val is something that evaluates to a
    string.
    
    Usage:\
      :``%set_env var val``: set value for var
      :``%set_env var=val``: set value for var
      :``%set_env var=$val``: set value for var, using python expansion if possible

.. magic:: sx

    Shell execute - run shell command and capture output (!! is short-hand).
    
    %sx command
    
    IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
    return the result formatted as a list (split on '\n').  Since the
    output is _returned_, it will be stored in ipython's regular output
    cache Out[N] and in the '_N' automatic variables.
    
    Notes:
    
    1) If an input line begins with '!!', then %sx is automatically
    invoked.  That is, while::
    
      !ls
    
    causes ipython to simply issue system('ls'), typing::
    
      !!ls
    
    is a shorthand equivalent to::
    
      %sx ls
    
    2) %sx differs from %sc in that %sx automatically splits into a list,
    like '%sc -l'.  The reason for this is to make it as easy as possible
    to process line-oriented shell output via further python commands.
    %sc is meant to provide much finer control, but requires more
    typing.
    
    3) Just like %sc -l, this is a list with special attributes:
    ::
    
      .l (or .list) : value as list.
      .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
      .s (or .spstr): value as whitespace-separated string.
    
    This is very useful when trying to use such lists as arguments to
    system commands.

.. magic:: system

    Shell execute - run shell command and capture output (!! is short-hand).
    
    %sx command
    
    IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
    return the result formatted as a list (split on '\n').  Since the
    output is _returned_, it will be stored in ipython's regular output
    cache Out[N] and in the '_N' automatic variables.

    invoked.  That is, while::
    
      !ls
    
    causes ipython to simply issue system('ls'), typing::
    
      !!ls
    
    is a shorthand equivalent to::
    
      %sx ls

    like '%sc -l'.  The reason for this is to make it as easy as possible
    to process line-oriented shell output via further python commands.

    ::
    
      .l (or .list) : value as list.
      .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
      .s (or .spstr): value as whitespace-separated string.
    
    This is very useful when trying to use such lists as arguments to
    system commands.

.. magic:: tb

    Print the last traceback.
    
    Optionally, specify an exception reporting mode, tuning the
    verbosity of the traceback. By default the currently-active exception
    mode is used. See %xmode for changing exception reporting modes.
    
    Valid modes: Plain, Context, Verbose, and Minimal.

.. magic:: time

    Time execution of a Python statement or expression.
    
    The CPU and wall clock times are printed, and the value of the
    expression (if any) is returned.  Note that under Win32, system time
    is always reported as 0, since it can not be measured.
    
    This function can be used both as a line and cell magic:
    
    - In line mode you can time a single-line statement (though multiple
      ones can be chained with using semicolons).
    
    - In cell mode, you can time the cell body (a directly
      following statement raises an error).
    
    This function provides very basic timing functionality. Use the timeit
    magic for more control over the measurement.
    
    .. versionchanged:: 7.3
        User variables are no longer expanded,
        the magic line is always left unmodified.
    
    .. versionchanged:: 8.3
        The time magic now correctly propagates system-exiting exceptions
        (such as ``KeyboardInterrupt`` invoked when interrupting execution)
        rather than just printing out the exception traceback.
        The non-system-exception will still be caught as before.
    
    Examples

    ::
    
      In [1]: %time 2**128
      CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s
      Wall time: 0.00
      Out[1]: 340282366920938463463374607431768211456L
    
      In [2]: n = 1000000
    
      In [3]: %time sum(range(n))
      CPU times: user 1.20 s, sys: 0.05 s, total: 1.25 s
      Wall time: 1.37
      Out[3]: 499999500000L
    
      In [4]: %time print('hello world')
      hello world
      CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s
      Wall time: 0.00
    
    .. note::
        The time needed by Python to compile the given expression will be
        reported if it is more than 0.1s.
    
        In the example below, the actual exponentiation is done by Python
        at compilation time, so while the expression can take a noticeable
        amount of time to compute, that time is purely due to the
        compilation::
    
            In [5]: %time 3**9999;
            CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s
            Wall time: 0.00 s
    
            In [6]: %time 3**999999;
            CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s
            Wall time: 0.00 s
            Compiler : 0.78 s

.. magic:: timeit

    Time execution of a Python statement or expression
    
    **Usage, in line mode**::
    
      %timeit [-n<N> -r<R> [-t|-c] -q -p<P> [-o|-v <V>]] statement
    
    **or in cell mode**::
    
      %%timeit [-n<N> -r<R> [-t|-c] -q -p<P> [-o|-v <V>]] setup_code
      code
      code...
    
    Time execution of a Python statement or expression using the timeit
    module.  This function can be used both as a line and cell magic:
    
    - In line mode you can time a single-line statement (though multiple
      ones can be chained with using semicolons).
    
    - In cell mode, the statement in the first line is used as setup code
      (executed but not timed) and the body of the cell is timed.  The cell
      body has access to any variables created in the setup code.
    
    Options:
    
    -n<N>
      Execute the given statement N times in a loop. If N is not
      provided, N is determined so as to get sufficient accuracy.
    
    -r<R>
      Number of repeats R, each consisting of N loops, and take the
      average result.
      Default: 7
    
    -t
      Use ``time.time`` to measure the time, which is the default on Unix.
      This function measures wall time.
    
    -c
      Use ``time.clock`` to measure the time, which is the default on
      Windows and measures wall time. On Unix, ``resource.getrusage`` is used
      instead and returns the CPU user time.
    
    -p<P>
      Use a precision of P digits to display the timing result.
      Default: 3
    
    -q
      Quiet, do not print result.
    
    -o
      Return a ``TimeitResult`` that can be stored in a variable to inspect
      the result in more details.
    
    -v <V>
      Like ``-o``, but save the ``TimeitResult`` directly to variable <V>.
    
    .. versionchanged:: 7.3
        User variables are no longer expanded,
        the magic line is always left unmodified.
    
    Examples

    ::
    
      In [1]: %timeit pass
      8.26 ns ± 0.12 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 100000000 loops each)
    
      In [2]: u = None
    
      In [3]: %timeit u is None
      29.9 ns ± 0.643 ns per loop (mean ± std. dev. of 7 runs, 10000000 loops each)
    
      In [4]: %timeit -r 4 u == None
    
      In [5]: import time
    
      In [6]: %timeit -n1 time.sleep(2)
    
    The times reported by ``%timeit`` will be slightly higher than those
    reported by the timeit.py script when variables are accessed. This is
    due to the fact that ``%timeit`` executes the statement in the namespace
    of the shell, compared with timeit.py, which uses a single setup
    statement to import function or create variables. Generally, the bias
    does not matter as long as results from timeit.py are not mixed with
    those from ``%timeit``.

.. magic:: unalias

    Remove an alias

.. magic:: unload_ext

    Unload an IPython extension by its module name.
    
    Not all extensions can be unloaded, only those which define an
    ``unload_ipython_extension`` function.

.. magic:: uv

    Run the uv package manager within the current kernel.
    
    Usage:
      %uv pip install [pkgs]

.. magic:: who

    Print all interactive variables, with some minimal formatting.
    
    If any arguments are given, only variables whose type matches one of
    these are printed.  For example::
    
      %who function str
    
    will only list functions and strings, excluding all other types of
    variables.  To find the proper type names, simply use type(var) at a
    command line to see how python prints type names.  For example:
    
    ::
    
      In [1]: type('hello')\
      Out[1]: <type 'str'>
    
    indicates that the type name for strings is 'str'.
    
    ``%who`` always excludes executed names loaded through your configuration
    file and things which are internal to IPython.
    
    This is deliberate, as typically you may load many modules and the
    purpose of %who is to show you only what you've manually defined.
    
    Examples

    
    Define two variables and list them with who::
    
      In [1]: alpha = 123
    
      In [2]: beta = 'test'
    
      In [3]: %who
      alpha   beta
    
      In [4]: %who int
      alpha
    
      In [5]: %who str
      beta

.. magic:: who_ls

    Return a sorted list of all interactive variables.
    
    If arguments are given, only variables of types matching these
    arguments are returned.
    
    Examples

    Define two variables and list them with who_ls::
    
      In [1]: alpha = 123
    
      In [2]: beta = 'test'
    
      In [3]: %who_ls
      Out[3]: ['alpha', 'beta']
    
      In [4]: %who_ls int
      Out[4]: ['alpha']
    
      In [5]: %who_ls str
      Out[5]: ['beta']

.. magic:: whos

    Like %who, but gives some extra information about each variable.
    
    The same type filtering of %who can be applied here.
    
    For all variables, the type is printed. Additionally it prints:
    
      - For {},[],(): their length.
    
      - For numpy arrays, a summary with shape, number of
        elements, typecode and size in memory.
    
      - Everything else: a string representation, snipping their middle if
        too long.
    
    Examples

    Define two variables and list them with whos::
    
      In [1]: alpha = 123
    
      In [2]: beta = 'test'
    
      In [3]: %whos
      Variable   Type        Data/Info

      alpha      int         123
      beta       str         test

.. magic:: xdel

    Delete a variable, trying to clear it from anywhere that
    IPython's machinery has references to it. By default, this uses
    the identity of the named object in the user namespace to remove
    references held under other names. The object is also removed
    from the output history.
    
    Options
      -n : Delete the specified name from all namespaces, without
      checking their identity.

.. magic:: xmode

    Switch modes for the exception handlers.
    
    Valid modes: Plain, Context, Verbose, and Minimal.
    
    If called without arguments, acts as a toggle.
    
    When in verbose mode the value `--show` (and `--hide`)
    will respectively show (or hide) frames with ``__tracebackhide__ =
    True`` value set.

Cell magics
===========

.. cellmagic:: bash

    %%bash script magic
    
    Run cells with bash in a subprocess.
    
    This is a shortcut for `%%script bash`

.. cellmagic:: capture

    ::
    
      %capture [--no-stderr] [--no-stdout] [--no-display] [output]
    
    run the cell, capturing stdout, stderr, and IPython's rich display() calls.
    
    positional arguments:
      output        The name of the variable in which to store output. This is a ``utils.io.CapturedIO`` object with stdout/err attributes for the text of the captured output. CapturedOutput also has a ``show()`` method for displaying the output, and ``__call__`` as well, so you can use that to quickly display the output. If unspecified, captured output is discarded.
    
    options:
      --no-stderr   Don't capture stderr.
      --no-stdout   Don't capture stdout.
      --no-display  Don't capture IPython's rich display.

.. cellmagic:: html

      %html [--isolated]
    
    Render the cell as a block of HTML
    
    options:
      --isolated  Annotate the cell as 'isolated'. Isolated cells are rendered inside their own <iframe> tag

.. cellmagic:: javascript

    Run the cell block of Javascript code
    
    Starting with IPython 8.0 %%javascript is pending deprecation to be replaced
    by a more flexible system

.. cellmagic:: js

    Run the cell block of Javascript code
    
    Alias of `%%javascript`
    
    Starting with IPython 8.0 %%javascript is pending deprecation to be replaced
    by a more flexible system
    
    Please See https://github.com/ipython/ipython/issues/13376

.. cellmagic:: latex

    Render the cell as a block of LaTeX
    
    The subset of LaTeX which is supported depends on the implementation in

.. cellmagic:: script

    ::
    
      %shebang [--no-raise-error] [--proc PROC] [--bg] [--err ERR] [--out OUT]
    
    Run a cell via a shell command
    
    The `%%script` line is like the #! line of script,
    specifying a program (bash, perl, ruby, etc.) with which to run.
    
    The rest of the cell is run by that program.
    
    .. versionchanged:: 9.0
      Interrupting the script executed without `--bg` will end in
      raising an exception (unless `--no-raise-error` is passed).
    
    Examples

    ::
    
        In [1]: %%script bash
           ...: for i in 1 2 3; do
           ...:   echo $i
           ...: done
        1
        2
        3
    
    options:
      --no-raise-error  Whether you should raise an error message in addition to a stream on stderr if you get a nonzero exit code.
      --proc PROC       The variable in which to store Popen instance. This is used only when --bg option is given.
      --bg              Whether to run the script in the background. If given, the only way to see the output of the command is with --out/err.
      --err ERR         The variable in which to store stderr from the script. If the script is backgrounded, this will be the stderr *pipe*, instead of the stderr text itself and will not be autoclosed.
      --out OUT         The variable in which to store stdout from the script. If the script is backgrounded, this will be the stdout *pipe*, instead of the stderr text itself and will not be auto closed.

.. cellmagic:: sh

    %%sh script magic
    
    Run cells with sh in a subprocess.
    
    This is a shortcut for `%%script sh`

    Render the cell as an SVG literal

.. cellmagic:: writefile

    ::
    
      %writefile [-a] filename
    
    Write the contents of the cell to a file.
    
    The file will be overwritten unless the -a (--append) flag is specified.
    
    positional arguments:
      filename      file to write
    
    options:
      -a, --append  Append contents of the cell to an existing file. The file will be created if it does not exist.
