Start ipython running a script

Question

My use case is I want to initialize some functions in a file and then start up ipython with those functions defined. Is there any way to do something like

i         


        

Answer 1

You seem to be looking for ipyhton's %run magic command.

By typing in ipython:

    %run hello_world.py

you'll run the hello.py program saved in your home directory. The functions and variables defined in that script will be accessible to you too.
