This is the setup I did for a Music21 project named “chordMe”.
On WIN XP the .ipython configuration dir is in C:Documents and SettingsAdministrator.ipython
Create a profile for your project.
Open a command line shell and type the following to create a new profile
> ipython profile create chordMe
[ProfileCreate] Generating default config file: u'C:Documents and SettingsAdministrator.ipythonprofile_chordMeipython_config.py'
Now add the following python file to:
C:Documents and SettingsAdministrator.ipythonprofile_chordMestartup
000-start.py file content:
# 000-start.py
# usage:
# $ ipython --profile=chordMe
import os
from IPython.core.interactiveshell import InteractiveShell
os.chdir(r"C:/1d/PythonPjs/music21Pjs/chordMePj/chordMe")
# from http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/rel-0.13/api/generated/IPython.core.interactiveshell.html
# run_line_magic(magic_name, line)
# magic_name : str "Name of the desired magic function, without ‘%’ prefix."
# line : str "The rest of the input line as a single string."
get_ipython().run_line_magic(u"logstart", u"-o ipython_log.py append")
from music21 import *
Running Ipython with the startup commands.
To the command line say:
> ipython --profile=chordMe
#ipython, #music21, #python
