Type Error when running simple Custom Magic

[John Omernik]

I have been trying to run a Magics Class based on http://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/config/custommagics.html 

I keep getting an error related to a type error but can't figure out where I am going, it should simply print the line from the magic, but instead TypeError. Any help would be appreciated!

Module I load

from IPython.core.magic import (Magics, magics_class, line_magic, cell_magic, line_cell_magic)

@magics_class

class MyClass(Magics):

    @line_magic

    def lmagic(self, line):

        print(line)

        return line

In my IPython Notebook I start things by doing

ip = get_ipython()

ip.register_magics(MyClass)

Then I go to the next cell and type

%lmagic Hello

and get:

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

TypeError                                 Traceback (most recent call last)

<ipython-input-3-2a6ddce5521d> in <module>()

----> 1 get_ipython().magic('lmagic Hello')

/opt/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py in magic(self, arg_s)

   2156         magic_name, _, magic_arg_s = arg_s.partition(' ')

   2157         magic_name = magic_name.lstrip(prefilter.ESC_MAGIC)

-> 2158         return self.run_line_magic(magic_name, magic_arg_s)

   2159 

   2160     #-------------------------------------------------------------------------

/opt/conda/lib/python3.6/site-packages/IPython/core/interactiveshell.py in run_line_magic(self, magic_name, line)

   2077                 kwargs['local_ns'] = sys._getframe(stack_depth).f_locals

   2078             with self.builtin_trap:

-> 2079                 result = fn(*args,**kwargs)

   2080             return result

   2081 

TypeError: 'str' object is not callable

I am stumped on how this is working...

Hello John,

That is really strange, have you tried restarting your kernel? If you
make modification to your module it might not be reloaded. Doing
exactly what you describe works here (screenshot attached).

Cheers,

So I solved my own problem. I was running my own __init__ function in the Class (I didn't put that in the post because I didn't see it as relevant... it was)  I had to do the instructions further down the page to use my own init function.  Hopefully if someone else runs into this, this post can help them. *Self High Five
