Inserting a new cell from python ?

[nicolas....@synchrotron-soleil.fr]

Hi all,

Is there a way to insert a new cell below the current cell from python?

The idea would be to mimic what the '+' button (or Esc-B sequence) does from the notebook page.

Thanks.

This should do the trick for you:

contents = "hello"

shell = get_ipython()

shell.set_next_input(contents, replace=False)

That works. Thanks Fernando.
