How to pass a variable to magic ´run´ function in IPython
问题 I want to do something like the following: In[1]: name = 'long_name_to_type_every_now_and_then.py' In[2]: %run name but this actually tries to run 'name.py' , which is not what I want to do. Is there a general way to turn variables into strings? Something like the following: In[3]: %run %name% 回答1: IPython expands variables with $name , bash-style. This is true for all magics , not just %run . So you would do: In [1]: filename = "myscript.py" In [2]: %run $filename ['myscript.py'] myscript.py
