Hi folks,
Does anyone know if there is a way to use ipython with the advantages of the -pylab option (separate gui thread, etc.), but without the whole pylab namespace getting sucked in?
I love ipython pylab mode, but like to use namespaces to keep things clean.
thanks,
-Chris

Put this in your ~/.ipython/ipythonrc:
pylab_import_all 0
That gives you exactly what you want. In my case, I also made a profile that imports numpy as np and matplotlib.pyplot as plt, so that I can get the equivalent of the ease pylab without the pollution.

Hey Ryan -- could you write up a sphinx/rest FAQ that describes all
these steps in detail, eg how you create the profile and how you start
ipython, so we can add it to the site docs? If you are uncomfortable
with the docs, I can apply the patch.
Thanks

I’m willing to. However, I just noticed that with just the pylab_import_all 0, you get the import numpy as np and import matplotlib.pyplot as plt automatically. Also, nicely, these don’t show up when you type ‘whos’. This is with ipython 0.9.1. Should I just add the pylab_import_all 0 to the FAQ?

Should be enough, but it would be nice to have a little bit on how to
write a profile to add extra imports (eg scipy as sp) to an ipython
profile and load it in the same FAQ. Yes, they could find it reading
the ipython docs, but the easier it is to get the info the more useful
it will be.

I finally got around to doing this, and found:
# ===========================================================
# Deprecation note: you should look into modifying ipy_user_conf.py (located
# in ~/.ipython or ~/_ipython, depending on your platform) instead, it's a
# more flexible and robust (and better supported!) configuration
# method.
# ===========================================================
So I took that to heart, and added:
o.pylab_import_all = 0
to my ipy_user_conf.py file, and that had the same effect.
thanks,

Good to know. When I get around to that FAQ entry, I’ll be sure to include that nugget.
