`IPython.core.splitinput:LineInfo`

Signature

class LineInfo ( line : str , continue_prompt : bool = False ) → None

A single line of input and associated info.

Includes the following as properties:

line: The original, raw line
continue_prompt: Is this line a continuation in a sequence of multiline input?
pre: Any leading whitespace.
esc: The escape character(s) in pre or the empty string if there isn't one. Note that '!!' and '??' are possible values for esc. Otherwise it will always be a single character.
ifun: The 'function part', which is basically the maximal initial sequence of valid python identifiers and the '.' character. This is what is checked for alias and magic transformations, used for auto-calling, etc. In contrast to Python identifiers, it may start with "%" and contain "*".
the_rest: Everything else on the line.
raw_the_rest: the_rest without whitespace stripped.
