Ipython: move extensions to Shell from App

Created on 12 Dec 2011 · 5Comments · Source: ipython/ipython

As proposed in #1073, extensions should be a trait of the InteractiveShell object, not the Application. This should be done with a deprecation, as was done with the prompts.

+1. I am trying to use IPython.embed to automatically load extensions, and I'm not sure it's currently possible until this issue is addressed.

I'd like to use autoreload on IPython embed but it doesn't seem to work. Can you provide an example?

I would also like to use autoload with an embedded iPython instance.

Might there be any plans on addressing this? It would be really appreciated and useful - dropping into an Ipython terminal within a function is a really great alternative to Jupyter, and being able to load a startup file or config while doing so would be super convenient.
