Looking for print/plot shorthand magics

[blazespinnaker]

eg, so instead of
display(df)

I could just go
%d df

And for plot

%p df['data']

histogram, binned 100

%h df['data']

Possibly something that just allows for the creation of python magics would be more flexible.

eg:

%py_alias d(arg1) display(arg1)

makes it so %d arg1 calls display(arg1)

I found this - https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30240156/how-to-write-an-ipython-alias-which-executes-in-python-instead-of-shell

Seems to work.

from IPython.core.magic import register_line_magic

@register_line_magic
def d(data):
    code = f"display({data})"
    print("-->", code)
    exec(code, globals())

del d 
a = "asdf"
%d a
