Setting default configuration for Jupyter QtConsole

Question

I have Jupyter QtConsole installed in Ubuntu 16.04. How can I set default configuration like font family, size and initial imports?

Answer 1

The docs on configuration options for jupyter will be very helpful here.

In short, open ~/.jupyter/jupyter_qtconsole_config.py in your favorite text editor and find your options of interest.

• Font family : c.ConsoleWidget.font_family
• Font size : c.ConsoleWidget.font_size

Startup scripts and initial imports will be a little more complicated since those are properties of the ipython kernel, which will need to be set in your ipython config. In ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_kernel_config.py ,

• Initial imports : c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines = ['import numpy as np','import pandas as pd']
