IPython's 'magic' functions
===========================

The magic function system provides a series of functions which allow you to
control the behavior of IPython itself, plus a lot of system-type
features. There are two kinds of magics, line-oriented and cell-oriented.

Line magics are prefixed with the % character and work much like OS
command-line calls: they get as an argument the rest of the line, where
arguments are passed without parentheses or quotes.  For example, this will
time the given statement::

        %timeit range(1000)

Cell magics are prefixed with a double %%, and they are functions that get as
an argument not only the rest of the line, but also the lines below it in a
separate argument.  These magics are called with two arguments: the rest of the
call line and the body of the cell, consisting of the lines below the first.
For example::

        %%timeit x = numpy.random.randn((100, 100))
        numpy.linalg.svd(x)

will time the execution of the numpy svd routine, running the assignment of x
as part of the setup phase, which is not timed.

In a line-oriented client (the terminal or Qt console IPython), starting a new
input with %% will automatically enter cell mode, and IPython will continue
reading input until a blank line is given.  In the notebook, simply type the
whole cell as one entity, but keep in mind that the %% escape can only be at
the very start of the cell.

NOTE: If you have 'automagic' enabled (via the command line option or with the
%automagic function), you don't need to type in the % explicitly for line
magics; cell magics always require an explicit '%%' escape.  By default,
IPython ships with automagic on, so you should only rarely need the % escape.

Example: typing '%cd mydir' (without the quotes) changes you working directory
to 'mydir', if it exists.

For a list of the available magic functions, use %lsmagic. For a description
of any of them, type %magic_name?, e.g. '%cd?'.

Currently the magic system has the following functions:""",
       magic_docs,
       "Summary of magic functions (from %slsmagic):" % magic_escapes['line'],

        This mode is intended to make IPython behave as much as possible like a
        plain Python shell, from the perspective of how its prompts, exceptions
        and output look.  This makes it easy to copy and paste parts of a
        session into doctests.  It does so by:

        - Changing the prompts to the classic ``>>>`` ones.
        - Changing the exception reporting mode to 'Plain'.
        - Disabling pretty-printing of output.

        Note that IPython also supports the pasting of code snippets that have
        leading '>>>' and '...' prompts in them.  This means that you can paste
        doctests from files or docstrings (even if they have leading
        whitespace), and the code will execute correctly.  You can then use
        '%history -t' to see the translated history; this will give you the
        input after removal of all the leading prompts and whitespace, which
        can be pasted back into an editor.

        With these features, you can switch into this mode easily whenever you
        need to do testing and changes to doctests, without having to leave
        your existing IPython session.
