Cannot turn off autoindent at cli in Ipython 6

[williamjameshandley]

running

ipython --no-autoindent

does not turn off autoindentation.

neither does running

In[1] %autoindent%
autoindent is deprecated since IPython 5: you can now paste multiple lines without turning autoindentation off.
Automatic indentation is: OFF

in the ipython interpreter.

I would like to be able to turn off autoindentation for the purposes of sending text to ipython in a sendkeys-like interface for this project. Currently the only way I have of doing this is to start ipython in

ipython --simple-prompt

but then I lose functionality like coloring/autocompletion.

Does something like https://github.com/ipython/rlipython fit your needs ?
My guess is you actually want to bypass all the IPython Gui and just send code to be executed.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to fix my issue, as when I try start ipython with
ipython --TerminalIPythonApp.interactive_shell_class=rlipython.TerminalInteractiveShell, and then try to send either individual lines, or multiple lines at once via vim's term_send_keys, ipython still tries to insert additional tabs

Does #11273 fit your needs ?

[williamjameshandley]

Yes! That seems to fix all my use cases just by passing --no-autoindent. Many thanks for looking into this
