Hi, I'm using IPython raw. I guess I'm not sure what a shell is in this case. I used to work with Linux years ago and the shell concept was clear there. I'm now simply a Win XP user. What advantages would be available to use a shell?
In part of the thread above,(posted 57 minutes after the hour, I asked how copy and paste operate? Quick IPyton seems to think it works quite like a Win copy and paste. It doesn't work for me. Below you've manage to post a session. How did that happen? Is there a file that I can pick up that contains the log? From the ref manual, I see this: =============== Manual capture of command output¶ <http://ipython.scipy.org/doc/manual/html/interactive/reference.html#manual-capture-of-command-output> If the input line begins with two exclamation marks, !!, the command is executed but its output is captured and returned as a python list, split on newlines. Any output sent by the subprocess to standard error is printed separately, so that the resulting list only captures standard output. The !! syntax is a shorthand for the %sx magic command. Finally, the %sc magic (short for ‘shell capture’) is similar to %sx, but allowing more fine-grained control of the capture details, and ... ===============end Maybe this is somehow you did it? phob...@geosyntec.com wrote: > Wayne, > > Are you using the IPython shell?
