[IPython-dev] Curly braces stripped from magic input

[Matt Davis]

Hi all,

Software Carpentry is working on a magic for the Notebook for learning
regex. It'll take a pattern and some strings and highlight matches. We've
run into a problem because curly braces seem to be stripped from magic
input before it gets to the function. See an example at
http://nbviewer.ipython.org/6399267.

It looks like the input is being sent through .format or some Jinja
formatting because sending in {{ }} results in { }.

Advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt & Greg
