在脚本执行后启动ipython qtconsole作为交互式解释器

Question

I have ipython with qtconsole installed and can start it via ipython qtconsole . I can also run a script via ipython -i my_script.py to stay in the interactive interpreter after the script finishes or if an exception is thrown. But I could not figure out how to combine them: I would like to do ipython -i qtconsole my_script.py but whatever I try, it complains about invalid flags. Any hint how to do that?

Answer 1

Interesting, it seems that either this option was forgotten or not wanted in the qtconsole. A way around this (or perhaps an intended way?) is to use the -m flag. This runs a module as a script so you if you called:

ipython qtconsole -m my_script

it will run the code in my_script , for me this works. Notice it needs to be my_script not my_script.py otherwise it will throw an error since it's looking for the module not the file. Hope that helps.
