[FIXED] cpaste IPython is not pasting content

Issue

I have copied this block of code:

def addi(a, b):
    return a+b
addi(4,3)

When i use %cpaste in ipython:

It does not paste any of the lines from the copied content.

Solution

%cpaste doesn't paste anything for you. You need to paste your code after entering a %cpaste command, and then enter -- on a line by itself to mark the end of the pasted code. (This allows extra flexibility with things like pasting together multiple snippets, or working over a connection where IPython has no direct access to your clipboard.)

If you want a command that will grab text straight out of your clipboard for you, that's %paste.
