1000Set the size of the output cache. The default is 1000, you can change it permanently in your config file. Setting it to 0 completely disables the caching system, and the minimum value accepted is 20 (if you provide a value less than 20, it is reset to 0 and a warning is issued). This limit is defined because otherwise you’ll spend more time re-flushing a too small cache than working
- InteractiveShell.color_info : CBool
Default:
TrueUse colors for displaying information about objects. Because this information is passed through a pager (like ‘less’), and some pagers get confused with color codes, this capability can be turned off.

- InteractiveShell.debug : CBool
Default:

- InteractiveShell.deep_reload : CBool
Default:
FalseDeprecated
Enable deep (recursive) reloading by default. IPython can use the deep_reload module which reloads changes in modules recursively (it replaces the reload() function, so you don’t need to change anything to use it). deep_reload forces a full reload of modules whose code may have changed, which the default reload() function does not. When deep_reload is off, IPython will use the normal reload(), but deep_reload will still be available as dreload().
- InteractiveShell.disable_failing_post_execute : CBool

Default:
Falseauto editing of files with syntax errors.
- TerminalInteractiveShell.confirm_exit : CBool
Default:
TrueSet to confirm when you try to exit IPython with an EOF (Control-D in Unix, Control-Z/Enter in Windows). By typing ‘exit’ or ‘quit’, you can force a direct exit without any confirmation.
- TerminalInteractiveShell.editor : Unicode
Default:
'vi'Set the editor used by IPython (default to $EDITOR/vi/notepad).
- TerminalInteractiveShell.pager : Unicode
Default:
'less'The shell program to be used for paging.
- TerminalInteractiveShell.screen_length : Int
Default:
0Number of lines of your screen, used to control printing of very long strings. Strings longer than this number of lines will be sent through a pager instead of directly printed. The default value for this is 0, which means IPython will auto-detect your screen size every time it needs to print certain potentially long strings (this doesn’t change the behavior of the ‘print’ keyword, it’s only triggered internally). If for some reason this isn’t working well (it needs curses support), specify it yourself. Otherwise don’t change the default.
- TerminalInteractiveShell.term_title : CBool
Default:
FalseEnable auto setting the terminal title.
ZMQTerminalInteractiveShell.callable_image_handler : Any
Callable object called via ‘callable’ image handler with one argument, data, which is msg[“content”][“data”] where msg is the message from iopub channel. For exmaple, you can find base64 encoded PNG data as data[‘image/png’].
ZMQTerminalInteractiveShell.image_handler : ‘PIL’|’stream’|’tempfile’|’callable’
Handler for image type output. This is useful, for example, when connecting to the kernel in which pylab inline backend is activated. There are four handlers defined. ‘PIL’: Use Python Imaging Library to popup image; ‘stream’: Use an external program to show the image. Image will be fed into the STDIN of the program. You will need to configure stream_image_handler; ‘tempfile’: Use an external program to show the image. Image will be saved in a temporally file and the program is called with the temporally file. You will need to configure tempfile_image_handler; ‘callable’: You can set any Python callable which is called with the image data. You will need to configure callable_image_handler.
- ZMQTerminalInteractiveShell.include_other_output : Bool
Default:
FalseWhether to include output from clients other than this one sharing the same kernel.
Outputs are not displayed until enter is pressed.
- ZMQTerminalInteractiveShell.kernel_timeout : Float
Default:
60Timeout for giving up on a kernel (in seconds).
On first connect and restart, the console tests whether the kernel is running and responsive by sending kernel_info_requests. This sets the timeout in seconds for how long the kernel can take before being presumed dead.
- ZMQTerminalInteractiveShell.mime_preference : List
Default:
traitlets.UndefinedPreferred object representation MIME type in order. First matched MIME type will be used.
- ZMQTerminalInteractiveShell.other_output_prefix : Unicode
Default:

Only relevant if include_other_output is True.
- ZMQTerminalInteractiveShell.stream_image_handler : List
Default:
traitlets.UndefinedCommand to invoke an image viewer program when you are using ‘stream’ image handler. This option is a list of string where the first element is the command itself and reminders are the options for the command. Raw image data is given as STDIN to the program.
- ZMQTerminalInteractiveShell.tempfile_image_handler : List
Default:
traitlets.UndefinedCommand to invoke an image viewer program when you are using ‘tempfile’ image handler. This option is a list of string where the first element is the command itself and reminders are the options for the command. You can use {file} and {format} in the string to represent the location of the generated image file and image format.
- KernelManager.autorestart : Bool
Default:
FalseShould we autorestart the kernel if it dies.
- KernelManager.kernel_cmd : List
Default:
traitlets.UndefinedDEPRECATED: Use kernel_name instead.
The Popen Command to launch the kernel. Override this if you have a custom kernel. If kernel_cmd is specified in a configuration file, Jupyter does not pass any arguments to the kernel, because it cannot make any assumptions about the arguments that the kernel understands. In particular, this means that the kernel does not receive the option –debug if it given on the Jupyter command line.
