ipython-magic

I am running IPython on Windows 7 and can use the %paste magic command to paste from the clipboard. However, I cannot copy from IPython to the clipboard. I want to copy code snippets from IPython and paste them back to a text editor. Anyone know a fix for this?

From ipython --help : Usage ipython [subcommand] [options] [files] If invoked with no options, it executes all the files listed in sequence and exits, use -i to enter interactive mode after running the files. Files ending in .py will be treated as

Is there a way to access variables in the current python kernel from within a %%bash or other %%script cell? Perhaps as command line arguments or environment variable(s)? Python variables can be accessed in the first line of a %%bash or %%script cell, and so can be passed as command line parameters to the script. For example, with bash you can do this: %%bash -s "$myPythonVar" "$myOtherVar" echo "This bash script knows about $1 and $2" The -s command line option allows you to pass positional parameters to bash, accessed through $n for the n-th positional parameter. Note that what's actually
