[IPython-dev] automatic quoting in interactive shell

[Brian Wylie]

Hi All,

My googling is failing me.. I have the following issue...

I'm using the IPython Interactive Shell (which is super awesome BTW).. and
I'm playing around with configuration...

cfg.InteractiveShellEmbed.autocall = 2

is spiffy as it will try to automatically add parenthesis..  the thing that
I can't find is how to turn on 'automatic quoting' by default (see
below)... it works if I put a comma at the beginning of the line but
obviously you don't want to require users to do/know that..

So any pointers to docs/issues or 'do this you dork' are happily accepted :)
