function

`IPython.core.magic:MagicsManager.register_function`

source: /IPython/core/magic.py :464

Signature

   def     register_function (    self    ,    func    ,    magic_kind    =  line   ,    magic_name    =  None     )

Summary

Expose a standalone function as magic function for IPython.

Extended Summary

This will create an IPython magic (line, cell or both) from a standalone function. The functions should have the following signatures:

For line magics: def f(line)
For cell magics: def f(line, cell)
For a function that does both: def f(line, cell=None)

In the latter case, the function will be called with cell==None when invoked as %f, and with cell as a string when invoked as %%f.

Parameters

func : callable: Function to be registered as a magic.
magic_kind : str: Kind of magic, one of 'line', 'cell' or 'line_cell'
magic_name : optional str: If given, the name the magic will have in the IPython namespace. By default, the name of the function itself is used.
