IPython.core.magics.auto:AutoMagics.autocall

Extended Summary

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'
