Is it possible to specify a file to run when starting QtConsole

[Ayhan Fuat Çelik]

Hi,

When I am in the QtConsole, I can execute %run magic to run a file but I was wondering if it was possible to do the same from a terminal. (Something like ~/myDir $ jupyter qtconsole --file some_file.py)

I looked over the config file several times but I couldn't figure out a way to do it.

I am using Atom as my text editor and manually executing the %run magic each time. I am looking for a way to automate that actually. If I can do it from a terminal, I can tell Atom to execute a command when, for example, I save the file. Any pointers will be appreciated.

Thank you.

I think the simplest way to do this would be to write an IPython startup script:

http://ipython.readthedocs.io/en/stable/interactive/tutorial.html#startup-files

IPython is the kernel Jupyter uses to run Python code. Make the script check for an environment variable, and if it is set, run the file it points to. Then configure Atom to run a command like:

MY_FILE_TO_RUN=foo.py jupyter qtconsole

I added this to my startup script:

if os.environ.get('ATOM_FILE'):

    sys.path.insert(0, os.path.dirname(os.environ['ATOM_FILE']))

    module_name = os.path.splitext(os.path.basename(os.environ['ATOM_FILE']))[0]

    atom_module = __import__(module_name)

So far it seems to work. Thank you very much.
