Implementation of magic functions for the extension machinery.

1 Class¶

class IPython.core.magics.extension.ExtensionMagics(shell=None, **kwargs)¶

Magics to manage the IPython extensions system.

install_ext(parameter_s='')¶

Download and install an extension from a URL, e.g.:

%install_ext https://bitbucket.org/birkenfeld/ipython-physics/raw/d1310a2ab15d/physics.py

The URL should point to an importable Python module - either a .py file or a .zip file.

Parameters:

-n filename : Specify a name for the file, rather than taking it from

the URL.

reload_ext(module_str)¶: Reload an IPython extension by its module name.

unload_ext(module_str)¶

Unload an IPython extension by its module name.

Not all extensions can be unloaded, only those which define an unload_ipython_extension function.
