[IPython-user] Trouble with Robert Kern's Example

[Travis E. Oliphant]

Using IPython 0.7.0 I'm getting the following error:

home/oliphant/<string>

/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/IPython/Magic.py in 
magic_logstart(self, parameter_s)
     984
     985         rc = self.shell.rc
--> 986         logger = self.shell.logger
     987
     988         # if no args are given, the defaults set in the logger 
constructor by

AttributeError: 'MatplotlibShell' object has no attribute 'logger'
WARNING: Failure executing code: "__IPYTHON__.magic_logstart(__cmd % 
time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))"

when I run

ipython -pylab -profile ee771

where

ipythonrc-ee771 is

include ipythonrc
logfile ''
execute import time
execute __cmd = '/home/oliphant/Classes/ee771/logfiles/%s.log rotate'
execute __IPYTHON__.magic_logstart(__cmd % time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d'))

(Same error with _IP.magic_logstart...)

Is this example supposed to work?  What am I doing wrong?


What is the recommended way to put magic commands in your profile?
