[FIXED] Can I check the current value in an IPython magic command (%xmode)?

Issue

I want to check the current value of a magic command %xmode. The available mode is Context, Plain, and Verbose.

If you just type in %xmode, then it automatically switches to the next value. Certainly, you can know which value it was set to, but it is a pain to run the same command two more times to set it back to the original value.

So is it possible to only chech the value, without changing it?

Solution

We can run the following line to get the current xmode from an IPython terminal

get_ipython().config['InteractiveShell']['xmode']
