[IPython-dev] Specifying histfile

[Brian Granger]

If you look in IPython/config/default/ipython_config.py

You will find the line:

# c.InteractiveShell.logfile = u'ipython_log.py'

You can set this in the config file.  If you want to have IPython
install the default config file in the right location do:

%install_default_config

That will put ipython_config.py in $HOME/.ipython

ipy_user_conf is not used in 0.11.
