SQL iPython Magic 扩展不会加载

Question

Just installed the iPython-SQL extenson, but when I run

%load_ext sql

I get an error "The sql module is not an IPython extension." I installed it via pip by

pip install ipython-sql

and when that didn't seem to work, even by downloading the file from Github and executing the code. Searching "The sql module is not an IPython extension." itself yielded 0 results in Google, so I am a little lost on what I might be doing wrong.

I am running OSX El Capitan (with SIS disabled), and my Python/iPython version is as below:

Python 2.7.10 |Anaconda 2.4.0 (x86_64)| (default, Oct 19 2015, 18:31:17) 
[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5577)]

Answer 1

Since you're using Anaconda's Python, make sure you install with the associated package manager conda:

conda install -c conda-forge ipython-sql=0.3.6

Source: https://anaconda.org/conda-forge/ipython-sql

Answer 2

I was getting the error on a notebook that no module named no module named sql . I did pip install python-sql and it then it gave the same error you had. I used %reload_ext sql instead of %load_ext sql and it seems to be working. Maybe it will work for you.

Answer 3

In my case the problem was that I had a file called sql.py in my working folder...
