Increase IPython history length

I have tried increasing IPython history length following this post : Control ipython history length by changing c.TerminalInteractiveShell.history_length in ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py.

The config file seems to be executed at startup (if I put print('test-startup') in the file, it's printed when I start IPython)

But it does not seems to have any influence, is there anyway to check the history size from inside the ipython (kinda like how you can do echo $HISTSIZE; echo $HISTFILESIZE in bash ?)

Solution

  • Using

    In[3]: %config TerminalInteractiveShell.history_length
Out[3]: 10000
