Module: core.splitinput
Simple utility for splitting user input. This is used by both inputsplitter and prefilter.
1 Class
- class IPython.core.splitinput.LineInfo(line: str, continue_prompt: bool = False)
Bases:
objectA 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.
- ofind(ip) OInfo
Do a full, attribute-walking lookup of the ifun in the various namespaces for the given IPython InteractiveShell instance.
Return a dict with keys: {found, obj, ospace, ismagic}
Note: can cause state changes because of calling getattr, but should only be run if autocall is on and if the line hasn’t matched any other, less dangerous handlers.
Does cache the results of the call, so can be called multiple times without worrying about further damaging state.
Deprecated since version 9.8: Use
shell._ofind(line_info.ifun)directly instead.
