ipython Getting started with ipython Store variables on IPython

Example

%storemagic stores variables and macros on IPython's database. To automatically restore stored variables at startup add this to ipython_config.py:

c.StoreMagic.autorestore = True

Example:

In [1]: l = ['hello',10,'world']
In [2]: %store l
In [3]: exit

(IPython session is closed and started again...)

ville@badger:~$ ipython
In [1]: l
Out[1]: ['hello', 10, 'world']

Note:

It should be noted that if you change the value of a variable, you need to %store it again if you want to persist the new value.

Note also that the variables will need to be pickleable; most basic python types can be safely %store’d.
