ipython

The IPython enhanced REPL (https://ipython.org/).

Backend: ``

Config section: [ipython]

Basic options​

None

Advanced options​

entry_point​

--ipython-entry-point=<str>
PANTS_IPYTHON_ENTRY_POINT
pants.toml
[ipython]
entry_point = <str>
default: IPython:start_ipython

The main module for the tool. Usually, you will not want to change this from the default.

extra_requirements​

--ipython-extra-requirements="['<str>', '<str>', ...]"
PANTS_IPYTHON_EXTRA_REQUIREMENTS
pants.toml
[ipython]
extra_requirements = [
    '<str>',
    '<str>',
    ...,
]
default: []

Any additional requirement strings to use with the tool. This is useful if the tool allows you to install plugins or if you need to constrain a dependency to a certain version.

ignore_cwd​

--[no-]ipython-ignore-cwd
PANTS_IPYTHON_IGNORE_CWD
pants.toml
[ipython]
ignore_cwd = <bool>
default: True

Whether to tell IPython not to put the CWD on the import path.

Normally you want this to be True, so that imports come from the hermetic environment Pants creates.

However IPython<7.13.0 doesn't support this option, so if you're using an earlier version (e.g., because you have Python 2.7 code) then you will need to set this to False, and you may have issues with imports from your CWD shading the hermetic environment.

version​

--ipython-version=<str>
PANTS_IPYTHON_VERSION
pants.toml
[ipython]
version = <str>
default: ipython==7.16.1

Requirement string for the tool.

Deprecated options​

None
