I have been using some jupyter notebook magics such as %matplotlib inline.

How to load them using python script instead of % signs.

Using jupyter

%load_ext sql
%config SqlMagic.displaycon=False

Question: How to do the same using script?

# file: myimports.py
from something import x
x.load_ext('sql')
x.config('SqlMagic.displaycon',False)

I want to use import * from myimports.py in jupyter notebook, so that I don't have to type %load_ext sql and so many things everytime I create new jupyter notebooks.

  • Maybe this notebook helps your for matplotlib. Not sure if there exists a rule for this. Commented Apr 7, 2022 at 19:49

    With regards to your %matplotlib example, what is your goal? %matplotlib is to set how the plotting output is handled in the notebook. If it is going to be a script run not connected to a display interface, then you don't want an equivalent for that. You may want to have it save a figure of your plot that you can view later, e.g., plt.savefig("my_plot.png"). If you are going to return a plot that the notebook than can handle as previously set like the bottom of what @mosc9575 referenced, then you still don't include an equivalent because it would already be handled in the notebook.

  • This example here shows SQL code with and without magics enabled. It would be similar to that in your script. Commented Apr 7, 2022 at 20:34
  • I want python script, so that i can import these settings from myimport.py into the notebook. from myimports import * Commented Apr 7, 2022 at 20:42

    Maybe this can help? You can create a sort of setup notebook with all needed magics and import it using %run Commented Apr 13, 2022 at 9:45

You can run IPython line magic using IPython interactiveshell:

from IPython.terminal.interactiveshell import TerminalInteractiveShell
shell:TerminalInteractiveShell = TerminalInteractiveShell.instance()
shell.run_line_magic("load_ext","sql")
shell.run_line_magic("config","SqlMagic.displaycon=False") 
# or shell.config["SqlMagic"]={'displaycon': False}

run_line_magic(magic_name, line_after_magic)

you can even run cd

shell.run_line_magic("cd","..")

And it will work.

However, there is some magic that not working with TerminalInteractiveShell because it can't access your code (alias, page, ...).
