    profile is being created, and IPython contains config files for that
    profile, then they will be staged into the new directory.  Otherwise,
    default config files will be automatically generated.

ZMQInteractiveShell.ast_node_interactivity : 'all'|'last'|'last_expr'|'none'
    Default: 'last_expr'

    'all', 'last', 'last_expr' or 'none', specifying which nodes should be run
    interactively (displaying output from expressions).

ZMQInteractiveShell.ast_transformers : List
    Default: []

    A list of ast.NodeTransformer subclass instances, which will be applied to
    user input before code is run.

ZMQInteractiveShell.autocall : 0|1|2
    Default: 0

    Make IPython automatically call any callable object even if you didn't type
    explicit parentheses. For example, 'str 43' becomes 'str(43)' automatically.
    The value can be '0' to disable the feature, '1' for 'smart' autocall, where
    it is not applied if there are no more arguments on the line, and '2' for
    'full' autocall, where all callable objects are automatically called (even
    if no arguments are present).

ZMQInteractiveShell.automagic : CBool
    Default: True

    Enable magic commands to be called without the leading %.

ZMQInteractiveShell.cache_size : Integer
    Default: 1000

    Set the size of the output cache.  The default is 1000, you can change it
    permanently in your config file.  Setting it to 0 completely disables the
    caching system, and the minimum value accepted is 20 (if you provide a value
    less than 20, it is reset to 0 and a warning is issued).  This limit is
    defined because otherwise you'll spend more time re-flushing a too small
    cache than working

ZMQInteractiveShell.color_info : CBool
    Default: True

    Use colors for displaying information about objects. Because this
    information is passed through a pager (like 'less'), and some pagers get
    confused with color codes, this capability can be turned off.

ZMQInteractiveShell.colors : 'NoColor'|'LightBG'|'Linux'
    Default: 'LightBG'

    Set the color scheme (NoColor, Linux, or LightBG).

ZMQInteractiveShell.debug : CBool
    Default: False

    No description

ZMQInteractiveShell.deep_reload : CBool
    Default: False

    Enable deep (recursive) reloading by default. IPython can use the
    deep_reload module which reloads changes in modules recursively (it replaces
    the reload() function, so you don't need to change anything to use it).
    deep_reload() forces a full reload of modules whose code may have changed,
    which the default reload() function does not.  When deep_reload is off,
    IPython will use the normal reload(), but deep_reload will still be
    available as dreload().

ZMQInteractiveShell.disable_failing_post_execute : CBool
    Default: False

    Don't call post-execute functions that have failed in the past.

ZMQInteractiveShell.history_length : Integer
    Default: 10000

    Start logging to the default log file.

    Save multi-line entries as one entry in readline history

ZMQInteractiveShell.object_info_string_level : 0|1|2
    Default: 0

    No description

    Default: False

    Automatically call the pdb debugger after every exception.

    The name of the unpacker for unserializing messages. Only used with custom
    functions for `packer`.
