anycmd-jupyter-magic 0.1.2

A versatile Jupyter cell magic that allows running a cell with any command line utility.

AnyCmd

    Do the provided cell magics not quite fit your needs? AnyCmd is a versatile Jupyter cell magic that allows you to run a cell with any command line utility. Simply specify the command you want to run as arguments after the magic. Access the contents of the cell as a file using the literal string "%FILE" or "%FILE.someExtension"
    By default, the command specified after the magic will be run from a temporary working directory. However, you may use -d/--dir to chdir into a custom directory before running the cell command. Use "-d ." to run it in the current working directory.
    Use -i/--inplace if you would like to write the cell contents temp files in the specified working directory, rather than the temporary directory (has no effect without --dir). This may help with compilers that reference libraries in the same directory, for instance.
    Use "-p/--print" to print command output live, instead of outputting to the cell. This may improve readability, and make it easier to debug long-running commands.
    -l/--lines adds a newline character before the cell contents in the temporary file to offset the first line taken up by the cell magic. This may help prevent interpreter error messages that reference a line number one line before the actual error when jupyter line numbers are enabled.

You may install this package via PyPi:

!pip install anycmd-jupyter-magic
%load_ext anycmd

Example (compiling and running c++):

---

%%any -p -- clang++ -O3 %FILE.cpp -o file && ./file

#include <iostream>  
using namespace std;  
int main(int argc, const char** argv) {  
  cout << "Hello World\n" << std::flush;  
}  

---

Result:
Hello World
