ipython profile updatesยค

when i want to write, i really want to write! i don't want to import modules i know i should have access to. i only care about this in interactive computing circumstances. i need to satisfy my compulsion to write new things, and avoid the old things. a revision stage after this initial burst will formalize the reuse of the module.

we're going to supply ourselves with better literate programming interfaces by defining a custom ipython configuration file that is loaded by default. once the configuration is applied we have a superior literate and functional programming vocabulary than we are normally offered.

%%
programmatically discover the default `ipython profile location` which is where we need to write or update our configuration at.

    config = !ipython profile locate
    config = pathlib.Path(*config, "ipython_config.py")

config_source contains the lines of code we want to write to our configuration.

    def config_source():        
        source = """from nobook.utils import Index, Series, DataFrame, doctest
        import midgy,  anyio, pyperclip, importnb
        from pathlib import Path
        from IPython.display import *
        from dataclasses import dataclass, field
        from toolz.curried import *
        with importnb.Notebook(): from __llm_workflow import load_ipython_extension
        load_ipython_extension(get_ipython())
        del load_ipython_extension
        [get_ipython().user_ns.setdefault(k, v) for k, v in __import__("sys").modules.items() if "." not in k]
        print("my config loaded")
        """

        c.InteractiveShellApp.exec_lines = source.splitlines()
%%
write the `config_source` to disc 

    config.write_text(textwrap.dedent(
        "".join(inspect.getsourcelines(config_source)[0][1:])
    ))

when we restart our kernel we should have some new variables 
that we can use by default. 

* i always want my pandas dataframes because i use them as first class citizens

        >>> assert all((Index, Series, DataFrame))

* we loaded in all the modules we know about from `sys` modules. this enriched namespace makes it easier to continue flowing thoughts.

        >>> assert all((pathlib,))

* `toolz` is the shit for functional programming, especially the curried versions. we want them to shred faster.

        >>> assert all((operator, compose, pipe))

all these modifications make it possible run this without any imports. we start with imports, but could remove them after our configuration was defined properly.
