I am using Spyder 2.2.4 on Win7 64. I am having trouble using some of
the embedded command line operations (!command) in the basic Spyder
console. Specifically !cd, I can traverse around c: drive fine, but a
command like "!cd D:\", fails with a syntax error (EOL while scanning
string).
Well I am going to say the answer is found here:
http://ipython.org/ipython-doc/stable/api/generated/IPython.core.magics.osm.html?highlight=cd#IPython.core.magics.osm.OSMagics.cd
"Note that !cd doesn’t work for this purpose because the shell where
!command runs is immediately discarded after executing ‘command’"
What is the correct way to use command like !cd, I notice this happens
for other command line calls as well. What rules are broken when I do
"!cd D:\", vs "!cd d:\foo" (which works)? What is the difference between
%cd and !cd? Should I be using %commands instead?
In !cd the ! runs the command following in the system shell. %cd is a
built in command.
In the link above see bang and cd for more information.
Can't seem to find much documentation on using command line operations
in a Spyder console.
Thx
