how to create new "type" pipe, queue, and stack in ipython interactive namespace

[gityou123]

This maybe a request for further development, but I would find it very useful to be able to have processes running in the background as pipes, queues, and stacks in the interactive namespace the the ability to turn on and off like a terminal process run/kill.

Any suggestions or comments?

You want to look at Python documentation, and look at threading, subprocess... etc.
you can get a handle to IPython itself using ip.get_ipython() (injected in builtins), and then access ip.user_ns, which is the user namespace.

If you are using IPython more as a shell, I would suggest https://xon.sh/ which does have some of these features.

Thank you for your response. I think my issue has to do with REPL (Read, Execute, Print, Loop). I tried to see if there were alternatives, like read fork print loops. :-) I see that to be more interactive with the variables, I could have infinite loops interact with the variables and the terminal share time with the variables and not have the REPL execute only one infinite loop at a time. So if I have a scanner or a sensor feeding information in an infinite loop, I could use the terminal to create another loop or execute another command. I would like to stay with one language used for modeling instead of using shell commands and a slow file system with blocking. I have imported IPython as ip and was able to see the get_ipython() but not the ip.user_ns. I just have a general comment here about reading the documentation, I couldn't figure out any perimeters or examples to try. Even if I have access or get the handle, I don't see what I could do to help my problem above. Is it possible to get ipython to run an infinite loop and then call another ipython for a terminal and the first ipython is named in the namespace? Thank you for your time.
