In ipython, we can use
_ih[32:39]
To show history lines between 32 and 39. How can I directly execute these history lines?

You can execute code from previous sessions with %recall
. See %recall
documentation here.
#Execute all code from previous session.
%recall ~1/
#Execute all code from two sessions previous the current session.
%recall ~2/
#Execute lines 1 to 5 from previous session.
%recall ~1/1-5
I use the list notation:
exec In[34:36]
also, if you use the edit function to edit a chunk, the Out list will have your code in it, so:
exec Out[35]
And my favorite:
edit In[34:38]
because I am a fat-fingered slob who can rarely get it right on the first try.
On recent versions of iPython you use the rerun magic-comand:
%rerun 32:39
Documentation on that command: http://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactive/magics.html#magic-rerun
try %recall, check doc of recall magic command
Use the exec
statement:
exec(_ih[32:39])
http://docs.python.org/reference/simple_stmts.html#exec
You can create a named macro from the lines and execute them:
%macro foo 32-38
foo
This is useful if you want to execute the same set of lines more than once. Also the lines do not need to be sequential or in order:
%macro bar 38 37 32-36 42
You can edit lines before executing them like so:
edit 1-5
Apparently the syntax changed at some point from the list-notation used in dreynold's answer.
