How to clear variables in ipython?
%reset
seems to clear defined variables.
EDITED after @ErdemKAYA comment.
To erase a variable, use the magic command:
%reset_selective <regular_expression>
The variables that are erased from the namespace are the one matching the given <regular_expression>
.
Therefore
%reset_selective -f a
will erase all the variables containing an a
.
Instead, to erase only a
and not aa
:
In: a, aa = 1, 2
In: %reset_selective -f "^a$"
In: a # raise NameError
In: aa # returns 2
see as well %reset_selective?
