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:

the URL.

load_ext(module_str)

Load an IPython extension by its module name.

reload_ext(module_str)

unload_ext(module_str)

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