IPython: How to wipe IPython's history selectively & securely?
I have been learning how to use the paramiko package only to discover that all I stored passwords in plain text in IPython's %hist . Not so good. I therefore need to get rid of particular parts of what is stored in %hist . Saying that, I do not want to wipe the whole history . - Only the parts where I have been careless enough to type password = or similar chosen terms. Thanks Comments I don't need: %clear only clears the session. It does not wipe the history. Yes. I will only use xSA_keys from now on. Matt History is store on $(ipython locate)/profile_default/history.sqlite by default. You
