bpmagic is a library to save and load boilerplate code. With a few simple commands, you can save and load bits of frequently used code to speed up programming in iPython and Jupyter.
bpmagic is up on pip, so you can simply call:
pip install bpmagic
To load the bpmagic namespaces, you can use the load_ext magic function:
%load_ext bpmagic
To prevent typing this everytime, you can add this to your ipython profile startup (mine is in /.ipython/profile_default/startup/
) and place the above command into a *.ipy
file (you can name it whatever you want, I used bpmagic.ipy
)
Using the %%isave
magic function, you can write and save a chunk of code into a new bpmagic namespace. For example:
%%isave data
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import scipy as sp
This will save your current cell of code into the namespace data
. If the namespace is already defined, you can overwrite using the -o flag:
%%isave plot -o
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
%matplotlib inline
Using the %iload
function, you can load up 1 or more profiles at once. For example:
%iload data plot
This will load the boiler plate code for data
and plot
and replace the cell that contained %iload
with:
# data
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np
import scipy as sp
# plot
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import seaborn as sns
%matplotlib inline
If you pass a profile name after %idelete
, you will remove that profile name. Example:
%idelete data
Passing in the old name followed by the new profile name will change the name of a profile:
%irename plot plotting
To get a list of current profiles, simply call %ilist
in ipython, and it will return a list of all of your current profiles.
