Module: terminal.interactiveshell

IPython terminal interface using prompt_toolkit

1 Class

class IPython.terminal.interactiveshell.TerminalInteractiveShell(*args, **kwargs)

Bases: IPython.core.interactiveshell.InteractiveShell

__init__(*args, **kwargs)

Create a configurable given a config config.

Parameters:
  • config (Config) – If this is empty, default values are used. If config is a Config instance, it will be used to configure the instance.
  • parent (Configurable instance, optional) – The parent Configurable instance of this object.

Notes

Subclasses of Configurable must call the __init__() method of Configurable before doing anything else and using super():

class MyConfigurable(Configurable):
    def __init__(self, config=None):
        super(MyConfigurable, self).__init__(config=config)
        # Then any other code you need to finish initialization.

This ensures that instances will be configured properly.

auto_rewrite_input(cmd)

Overridden from the parent class to use fancy rewriting prompt

debugger_cls
