Module: core.application
¶
An application for IPython.
All top-level applications should use the classes in this module for handling configuration and creating configurables.
The job of an Application

load_config_file
(suppress_errors=True)¶ Load the config file.
By default, errors in loading config are handled, and a warning printed on screen. For testing, the suppress_errors option is set to False, so errors will make tests fail.
