Disable IPython exit confirmation

Question

It is really annoying that every time I type exit() , I get a request with confirmation to exit; Of course I want to go out! Otherwise, I would not have written exit() !!!

Is there a way to override the default behavior for IPython to make it exit without a hint?

Answer 1

If you also want Ctrl-D c.TerminalInteractiveShell.confirm_exit = False without confirmation, in IPython 0.11 add c.TerminalInteractiveShell.confirm_exit = False to your configuration file *.

If you do not already have a configuration file, run ipython profile create to create it.

Pay attention to this ticket if you work in the Django shell.

* The configuration file is located at: $HOME/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py

Answer 2

In ipython version 0.11 or higher,

• Run with --no-confirm-exit OR
• Exiting via "exit" instead of control-D OR

• Make sure the directory exists (or run ipython profile create to ipython profile create it) and add these lines to $ HOME / .ipython / profile_default / ipython_config.py:

   c = get_config() c.TerminalInteractiveShell.confirm_exit = False 

Answer 3

just enter Exit , with capital E

Alternatively, start IPython with:

 $ ipython -noconfirm_exit 

Or for newer versions of IPython:

 $ ipython --no-confirm-exit 

Answer 4

I like the configuration settings, but until I recognized them, I started using the "Quit" key combination.

 Ctrl+\ 

or

 Ctrl+4 

It just kills what works. No time to ask confirmation questions.
