IPython.core.magic:Magics

Extended Summary

Shell functions which can be reached as %function_name. All magic functions should accept a string, which they can parse for their own needs. This can make some functions easier to type, eg %cd ../ vs. %cd("../")

Classes providing magic functions need to subclass this class, and they MUST:

• Use the method decorators @line_magic and @cell_magic to decorate individual methods as magic functions, AND

• Use the class decorator @magics_class to ensure that the magic methods are properly registered at the instance level upon instance initialization.

See magic_functions for examples of actual implementation classes.
