[SciPy-user] Ipython history and editing

[Jose Unpingco]

One of the greatest things about Ipython is the ability to use one's  favorite editor to edit previous
entires as in
 
> %edit _i18
 
which would edit the 18th input in the history. The  annoying thing is that the so-edited command is not placed on the history, instead, the unuseful 
 
22: _ip.magic("edit _i18")
 
is put there. I would like the output of the post-edited command to show in the %hist list. By the way, I know I can get the post-edited output using Out[22], but I would really like to see it on the %hist list.
 
Is this possible?
 
Please contact me if you have questions or need more information.
 
Thanks!
