%%cache cell magic
==================

Defines a %%cache cell magic in the IPython notebook to cache results and outputs 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/examples/example.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 along with the outputs. Rich display outputs are only saved if you use the development version of IPython. When you execute this cell again, the code is skipped, the variables are loaded from the file and injected into the namespace, and the outputs are restored in the notebook.
  
  * Use the `--force` or `-f` option to force the cell's execution and overwrite the file.
  
  * Use the `--read` or `-r` option to prevent the cell's execution and always load the variables from the cache. An exception is raised if the file does not exist.
  
  * Use the `--cachedir` or `-d` option to specify the cache directory. You can specify a default directory in the IPython configuration file in your profile (typically in `~\.ipython\profile_default\ipython_config.py`) by adding the following line:
  
        c.CacheMagics.cachedir = "/path/to/mycache"
  
    If both a default cache directory and the `--cachedir` option are given, the latter is used.
