Puzzled

I just tried to do something on IPython that works fine at the Win XP
command line:

In [26]: python setup.py build
-----------------------------------------
   File "<ipython console>", line 1
     python setup.py build
                ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

What should I do instead? And where could have looked this up?

Thanks,

Dick Moores

- You can do !python setup.py build
- You could use the sh profile that more closely resembles command
line (and you don't need to type the !)
- You can run %rehashx

%quickref gives you a quick reference with this information.

In [21]: profile
No profile active.

Why do you suggest rehashx? I ran it, and now I have 637 aliases! (see
