[Pyzo] magic command namespace

[n***@anodyne-solutions.com]

I have only just started using pyzo as a general purpose on windows and linux. Is there a way to disable or re-map magic commands specifically 'db' as it clashes with another namespace? Currently using pyzo as a general purpose python IDE. Shell config is it? I'd prefer 'debug' instead of 'db' as I get an error when I use 'db.test' (for a mongoclient connection) and yes I know I could just not do it... just askin' don't flame me.

Hi,

No, the names of the magic commands are pretty hard-coded, so you’d have to edit pyzo/pyzokernel/magic.py. One idea might be to allow a percentage sign in front of the magic command, like IPython does. That way it is possible to unambiguously use a magic command.

Regards,
Almar

Hey Almar,

Yep my bad I should have thought/guessed. I'll ruminate on a solution but
just patching it would be good enough. If I think of anything
better/extensible I'll submit something to git.

Thanks

Don’t worry, it’s always ok to ask! Looking forward to a PR, though if you prefer a quick-n-dirty local patch that’s fine :)

I am just going to get over it because we could empower people to define
their own aliases or add a shell.config, to not import magic or do whatever
but it simply isn't worth adding all that bloat when I can just use
'my.test' instead of 'db.test'. Imagine the hell when people messed up
their configs or renamed things they shouldn't? It would degrade the
overall quality of the application and make it more difficult to maintain
and support. I should stop being such a cut-paste monkey. I'm not even
going to patch as I should just get used to it. The magic commands are
really useful (especially pip for the forgetful) as switching windows
breaks my train of thought.

I'm really loving pyzo btw - geany was my IDE before - hated all the rest.
My first python came with OpenCaldera Linux in 1997 so I've seen few. I
don't think I've even scratched the surface yet. It's simplicity belies its
power like a $2 wrench. It is really TDD friendly too.

Thanks.

No, if we’d do anything w.r.t magic commands, I’d say we make it possible to prefix them with the percent sign so the can be used even if a variable with the same name as the command exists. In other words, allow doing “%db start” in addition to “db start”.
