Stepping into a function in IPython

Question

Is there a way to step into the first line of a function in ipython. I imagine something that would look like:

%step foo(1, 2)

which runs

Answer 1

The IPython magic you was asking for is now implemented with the newer versions: https://stackoverflow.com/a/46333421/4374441

You just have to type %debug foo(1, 2) then s to step into the function.
