Disable IPython Exit Confirmation

Question

It’s really irritating that every time I type exit(), I get prompted with a confirmation to exit; of course I want to exit! Otherwise, I would not have written exit()!!!

Is there a way to override IPython’s default behaviour to make it exit without a prompt?

Answer 1

just type Exit, with capital E.

Alternatively, start IPython with:

$ ipython -noconfirm_exit

Or for newer versions of IPython:

$ ipython --no-confirm-exit

If you also want Ctrl-D to exit without confirmation, in IPython 0.11, add c.TerminalInteractiveShell.confirm_exit = False to your config file *.

If you don’t have a config file yet, run ipython profile create to create one.

Note this ticket if you’re working within the Django shell.

* The config file is located at: $HOME/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py

In ipython version 0.11 or higher,

Run with --no-confirm-exit OR
Exit via ‘exit’ instead of control-D OR
Make sure the directory exists (or run ipython profile create to create it) and add these lines to $HOME/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py:
```
c = get_config()

c.TerminalInteractiveShell.confirm_exit = False
```

I like the config suggestions, but until I learned them I’ve started using “Quit” key combination.

Ctrl+

or

Ctrl+4

This just kills what is running. No time to ask questions on confirmation.
