[IPython-user] Still trying to use pysh not-interactively

[Florian Lindner]

Hello,

I want to use the convenient features of the pysh mode (SLists, executing with !) in a non-interactive script. However I don't figure out how to do so...

#!/usr/bin/ipython
import IPython.ipapi
ip = IPython.ipapi.get()
a=ip.system('ls')
print a

executes ls but a is None after wards. Additionally ipython displays its welcome message and exits to it own prompt.

#!/usr/bin/ipython
import ipy_profile_sh
a=!ls

gives an syntax error.

All I want to do is to use the ipython -profile sh in a script. Any way to do that?

Thanks,

Florian
