Log IPython output?

Question

Is there any way to make IPython\'s logging capability include output as well as input?

This is what a log file looks like currently:

#!/usr/bin/en         


        

Answer 1

There's the -o option for %logstart:

-o: log also IPython's output.  In this mode, all commands which
  generate an Out[NN] prompt are recorded to the logfile, right after
  their corresponding input line.  The output lines are always
  prepended with a '#[Out]# ' marker, so that the log remains valid
  Python code.

ADDENDUM: If you are in an interactive ipython session for which logging has already been started, you must first stop logging and then restart:

In [1]: %logstop

In [2]: %logstart -o
Activating auto-logging. Current session state plus future input saved.
Filename       : ./ipython.py
Mode           : backup
Output logging : True
Raw input log  : False
Timestamping   : False
State          : active

Observe that, after the restart, "Output Logging" is now "True".
