I use iPython mostly via notebooks but also in the terminal. I just created my default profile by running ipython profile create
.
I can't seem to figure out how to have the profile run several magic commands that I use every time. I tried to look this up online and in a book I'm reading but can't get it to work. For example, if I want %debug
activated for every new notebook I tried adding these lines to my config file:
c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions = ['debug']
or
c.TerminalPythonApp.extensions = ['debug']
and I either get import errors or nothing. My (closely related) questions are the following:
What line to do I add to my ipython config file to activate magic commands? Some require parameters, e.g.
%reload_ext autoreload
and%autoreload 2
. How do I also pass these parameters in the config file?Can I separate which get added for terminal vs. notebooks in a single config file or must I set up separate profiles if I want different magic's activated? (e.g.,
matplotlib
inline or not). Do the two lines above affect notebooks vs. terminal settings (i.e.,c.InteractiveShellApp
vs.c.TerminalPythonApp
)?
Thank you!
