Is there a way to execute ipython scripts? I don\'t mean python scripts, but with simplified syntax as it would be entered into the ipython shell
sure, just run them with IPython as you with Python for a plain Python script:
$> echo '%time print "hello, world"' > script.ipy $> ipython script.ipy hello, world CPU times: user 0.00 s, sys: 0.00 s, total: 0.00 s Wall time: 0.00 s
