# Ipython

|
|
|

|
|
The true GOAT if we're going to be real. Big shout-out to Gabe from Schrodinger for truly putting me onto iPython.

iPython uses [MAGIC](https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactive/magics.html#) ! :)

|
|
To load a file:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
%load filename.py
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To save a file:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
%%writefile filename.py
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
To return a list of magic commands: use ```%magic```
|
||
|

**Some notes:** Make sure to read the [docs](https://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactive/tips.html) though.

Reading about iPython led to installing xonsh
|
||
|
|
Which ultimately led to [this](https://gitter.im/xonsh/xonsh) community for support.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Personally I think xonsh is really cool and could potentiallY be better than iPython?? It might need a note of its own eventually.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Setting up [xonsh](obsidian://open?vault=Coding%20Tips&file=Xonsh) virtual environments seem a lot more easier than the python conda method.

Fun facts:
|
||
|
|
- did you know you can create clusters and [parallel compute ](https://ipyparallel.readthedocs.io/en/latest/)in ipython?
|
||
|
|
- here are some additional [cookbooks](https://github.com/ipython/ipython/wiki/Cookbook:-Notebook-utilities) for iPython.

This may be better off in the VSCode section but here is a[ useful tutorial](https://www.scheidt-mt.com/en/blog/vscode_ipython/) on using iPython within VSCode should you ever make the switch to something a bit more user-friendly.
