Sections


Examples

[top]

More examples can be found in this Jupyter notebook.


Installation and updating

[top]

The watermark line magic can be installed by executing

pip install watermark

Alternatively, you can install the latest development version directly from GitHub via

pip install -e git+https://github.com/rasbt/watermark#egg=watermark

Note:

To remove an old watermark installation (installed via the deprecated %install_ext magic extension), simply delete it from the .ipython/extensions/ directory, which is typically located in a user's home directory.

Usage

[top]

After successful installation, the watermark magic extension can be loaded via:

%load_ext watermark

To get an overview of all available commands, type:

%watermark?


%watermark [-a AUTHOR] [-d] [-n] [-t] [-i] [-z] [-u] [-c CUSTOM_TIME]
               [-v] [-p PACKAGES] [-h] [-m] [-g] [-w]

Changelog

[top]

v. 1.5.0 (Aug 27, 2017)

  • Adds a new -iv/ --iversions parameter that prints the package names and version numbers of all packages that were previously imported in the current Python session. (Via contribution by Aziz Alto)

v. 1.4.0 (April 18, 2017)

  • Adds a new -r/ --gitrepo parameter that returns the URL of Git remote name "origin". (Via contribution by Lucy Park)

v. 1.3.4 (October 15, 2016)

  • Allow fetching scikit-learn's version number via -p scikit-learn in addition of -p sklearn (the former is deprecated and will not be supported in watermark > 1.7).

v. 1.3.3 (September 1, 2016)

  • Includes LICENSE in MANIFEST.in for packaging

v. 1.3.2 (August 16, 2016)

  • Fixes an issue where the wrong package info was obtained when using the system level Jupyter within a virtualenv environment. (Via contribrution by Michael Bell)
  • Adds a new -i/ --iso8601 parameter that returns the current date-time string in ISO 8601 format with offset to UTC. For instance: 2016-08-16T18:03:42-04:00. Current caveat: Python < 3.2 requires external libraries for for computing the timezone offset, thus, Python < 3.2 will currently only print 2016-08-16T18:03:42
  • Adds offsets to UTC to the default date-time string for Python >= 3.2

v. 1.3.1 (June 6, 2016)

  • Fixes an issue that caused problems importing watermark using Python 2.x

v. 1.3.0 (May 21, 2016)

  • Removed the deprecated the %install_ext magic so that watermark can now be installed as a regular python package via pip (Via contribution by Peter Bull)

v. 1.2.3 (Jan 29, 2016)

  • Changed date format to the unambiguous ISO-8601 format
  • Ditched the deprecated %install_ext function and made watermark a proper Python package
  • Released the new version under a more permissive newBSD license

v. 1.2.2 (Jun 17, 2015)

  • Changed the default date-format of -d, --date to MM/DD/YYYY, the format DD/MM/YYYY can be used via the shortcut -e, --eurodate.

v. 1.2.1 (Mar 3, 2015)

  • Small bugfix to allow custom time string formatting.

v. 1.2.0 (Oct 01, 2014)

  • --watermark command added to print the current version of watermark.
  • Print author name on a separate line
  • Fixed bug that day takes the same value as the minute if the -n flag is used.
