Configure IPython to show warnings all the time

Tags:

ipython

The first time I do something that raises a warning in the IPython shell, I see it. But subsequent times I do not. For example,

In [1]: import numpy as np
In [2]: np.uint8(250) * np.uint8(2)
/Users/me/anaconda/envs/py33/bin/ipython:1: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in ubyte_scalars
#!/bin/bash /Users/me/anaconda/envs/py33/bin/python.app
Out[2]: 244

In [3]: np.uint8(250) * np.uint8(2)
Out[3]: 244       # No warning!

How do I configure IPython to always show warnings? I've tried:

import warnings
warnings.filterwarnings('always')

But that doesn't make any difference.

What is %% capture in Python?

IPython has a cell magic, %%capture , which captures the stdout/stderr of a cell. With this magic you can discard these streams or store them in a variable. from __future__ import print_function import sys. By default, %%capture discards these streams. This is a simple way to suppress unwanted output.

How do you use %% Timeit in Jupyter?

The “%timeit” is a line magic command in which the code consists of a single line or should be written in the same line for measuring the execution time. In the “%timeit” command, the particular code is specified after the “%timeit” is separated by a space.

How do you get all magic commands?

As a first example, you can use the magic command %lsmagic to list the available magic commands (Figure 3.11). To get the output you have to execute the cell as with any other code cell. The %load_ext magic command can be used for loading IPython extension which can add new magic commands.

I think this was addressed relatively recently by the IPython team. It wasn't playing well with warnings because of a somewhat unusual design decision. Turing on always suffices for me in plain Python, and now if I do the same thing in IPython trunk:

In [1]: import warnings

In [2]: warnings.filterwarnings('always')

In [3]: import numpy as np

In [4]: np.uint8(250) * np.uint8(2)
/home/dsm/sys/root/bin/ipython3.4:1: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in ubyte_scalars
  #!/home/dsm/sys/root/bin/python3.4
Out[4]: 244

In [5]: np.uint8(250) * np.uint8(2)
/home/dsm/sys/root/bin/ipython3.4:1: RuntimeWarning: overflow encountered in ubyte_scalars
  #!/home/dsm/sys/root/bin/python3.4
Out[5]: 244
