Interesting, it seems that either this option was forgotten or not wanted in the qtconsole. A way around this (or perhaps an intended way?) is to use the -m
flag. This runs a module as a script so you if you called:
ipython qtconsole -m my_script
it will run the code in my_script
, for me this works. Notice it needs to be my_script
not my_script.py
otherwise it will throw an error since it's looking for the module not the file. Hope that helps.
