Project description
Defines a %%cache cell magic in the IPython notebook to cache results of long-lasting computations in a persistent pickle file. Useful when some computations in a notebook are long and you want to easily save the results in a file.
Example
[Example notebook](http://nbviewer.ipython.org/urls/raw.github.com/rossant/ipycache/master/test.ipynb).
Installation
pip install ipycache
Usage
In IPython:
%load_ext ipycache
Then, create a cell with:
%%cache mycache.pkl var1 var2 var1 = 1 var2 = 2
When you execute this cell the first time, the code is executed, and the variables var1 and var2 are saved in mycache.pkl in the current directory. When you execute this cell again, the code is skipped and the variables are loaded from the file. Use the –force or -f option to force the cell’s execution and overwrite the file.
