Adding line breaks in ipython

Question

If introduce a for loop in iPython, or any multi-line command, how do I go back and add lines to it? I ran this:

for row in table.find_all(\'tr\'):
    cells         


        

Answer 1

A easy way of doing it is using the ;\ operator. ; to signal that its the end of a command and \ to indicate the the command follows in a new line as follows:

In[4]: password = "123";\
       username = "alpha"

This will let you have multiple line commands in ipython without invoking the editor
