Python oject inspection for ipython

ipython magic function %pi, print instance

Written and maintained by Luis Montiel luismmontielg@gmail.com

%pi, print instance

In [2]: obj_or_dict = {'akey': 'value', 'another': 'value2'}
In [3]: %pi obj_or_dict
dict
akey           = 'value'
another        = 'value2'

You can pass a pattern and a separator after the object:

In [3]: %pi obj_or_dict anot
dict
another        = 'value2'

In [4]: %pi obj_or_dict * '| '
dict
akey= 'value'| another= 'value2'

pip install poinspection

%load_ext poinspection

To autoload when IPython starts:

Create ipython profile config file, or skip if already present
```
ipython profile create
```
And you will have a default ipython_config.py in your IPython directory under profile_default

Add/modify this ipython config file

c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions = ['poinspection']

The IPython magic commands work for versions of IPython with the decorators IPython.core.magic.magics_class and IPython.core.magic.line_magic.

Public domain. You can do whatever you want with this.
