PyCharm 2023.3 Help

IPython magic commands

PyCharm supports usage of IPython magic commands. Prior to start working, consider the following prerequisites:

  • IPython is available on your computer with Anaconda.

  • The corresponding Conda environment is set as the default interpreter for the current project.

Once you set a Conda environment as a Python interpreter, PyCharm automatically recognizes IPython, and changes the prompt of the Python console.
