Using IPython with breakpoint()

Question

How to do a set up that when I call breakpoint(), IPython shell is invoked instead pdb?

Currently, Python uses pdb, which has no completion.

It's done through setting the sys.breakpointhook, which is called when you set a breakpoint():

import sys
import IPython
sys.breakpointhook = IPython.embed

To turn off a banner at every breakpoint sys.breakpointhook = functools.partial( IPython.embed, display_banner=False ) worked, ipython --no-banner didn't.

And how to enter into ipdb?

@Run perhaps you'll prefer pdb++: it's entered automatically whenever you call breakpoint()
