IPython Notebook previous cell content

Question

Is it possible in an IPython-Notebook cell to get the previous (above) cell content ?

I can see previous output with %capture magic function but I don't find how to get the previous cell content.

Answer 1

%recall jupyter_notebook_cell_number

Should give you the code that was last executed in indicated particular notebook cell, jupyter_notebook_cell_number

Answer 2

I didn't find how to get the previous content cell in a cell.

But I found another solution, creating a custom magic notebook function to capture the cell content and work with that.

Answer 3

You can get content of the last executed cell with:

In[len(In)-2]
