[Level 1] How to auto restore when start iPython

iPython have a magic command call "alias". This command just command "alias" in unix shell could help you to create alias command in iPython environment. How could we save the alias that we created before, you could use "store" magic command. The alias would be saved in iPython internal db. ex. 
In [1]: %alias ipython_alias echo 'hello world'
In [2]: %store ipython_alias
After you exit iPython and restart it again, you need to restore the aliases from internal db. 
In [1]: %store -r
And how could we make iPython auto-restore when we launch it? You could modify ipython_config.py in profile. ex. If you use default profile 
$> cat /home/stanley/.config/ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py 
...
# StoreMagics configuration
c.StoreMagics.autorestore = True # uncomment this line and assign autorestore as 'True'
...
You could also create a script to add alias automatically. 
## Add often use commands.
security_commands = 'chmod chown scp ssh sudo'
network_commands = 'ifcofig netstat ping route'
system_commands = 'iostat ps top vmstat'
common_commands = 'cat grep head nohup tail'
editor_commands = 'meld soffice vi'
sourcecode_commands = 'apt-cache apt-get easy_install git p4 pip'
## prepare command list
command_list = ' '.join([security_commands, network_commands, system_commands, common_commands, editor_commands, sourcecode_commands])
for cmd in command_list.split(' '):
    %alias $cmd $cmd
    %store $cmd

Wish this helps.

[Level 1] Rar tool for Solaris.

Sometimes we will got a rar compressed file from our friends, but there is no default tool in OpenSolaris to decompress the rar filess. We can got a Solaris Intel version from rarlab . The steps as the following: 1. down load the rar tools from rarlab. http://www.rarlab.com/rar_add.htm 2. uncompressed the source. # gunzip ./unrar-sol-intel.gz 3. move it to the location you used to. # mv /unrar-sol-intel.gz /usr/bin/unrar 4. try to decomprss # unrar x ./test.rar Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang

[Level 2] iif in Python

If you want to implement iif in Python, please refer to the following sample code: #!/bin/env python def iif(b): return 'It\'s True' if b else 'It\'s False' print iif(True) print iif(False) And the following sample, guess what will you get! #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' Result: $ ./iif.py b: Ture False The second result is "False", not "b: False". Why??? Because the prededence of string concatenation is higher than if. Therefore you need to use () to make it correct. #!/bin/env python b = True print 'b: %s' % 'Ture' if b else 'False' b = False print 'b: %s' % ('Ture' if b else 'False') Wish this helps. regards, Stanley Huang
