Bases:Magics

__init__(shell)

Create a configurable given a config config.

Parameters:

• config (Config) – If this is empty, default values are used. If config is aConfig instance, it will be used to configure theinstance.

• parent (Configurable instance,optional) – The parent Configurable instance of this object.

Notes

Subclasses of Configurable must call the__init__() method ofConfigurablebefore doing anything else and usingsuper():

classMyConfigurable(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.

config(s)

configure IPython

%config Class[.trait=value]

This magic exposes most of the IPython config system. AnyConfigurable class should be able to be configured with the simpleline:

%configClass.trait=value

Wherevalue will be resolved in the user’s namespace, if it is anexpression or variable name.

Examples

To see what classes are available for config, pass no arguments:

In[1]:%configAvailableobjectsforconfig:AliasManagerDisplayFormatterHistoryManagerIPCompleterLoggingMagicsMagicsManagerOSMagicsPrefilterManagerScriptMagicsTerminalInteractiveShell

To view what is configurable on a given class, just pass the classname:

In[2]:%configLoggingMagicsLoggingMagics(Magics)options---------------------------LoggingMagics.quiet=<Bool>SuppressoutputoflogstatewhenloggingisenabledCurrent:False

but the real use is in setting values:

In[3]:%configLoggingMagics.quiet=True

and these values are read from the user_ns if they are variables:

In[4]:feeling_quiet=FalseIn[5]:%configLoggingMagics.quiet=feeling_quiet
