Control ipython history length

Question

The title pretty much says what I want.

I want to have more than 1000 lines of input in my ipython-history; which means that pressing arrow-up commands older are showing up. Is this possible? (probably somewhere in ipython-config()?)

Thanks

Answer 1

In http://2sn.org/python/ipython_config.py there is a

# c.TerminalInteractiveShell.history_length = 10000

Does it work?

Kind of. The data is obviously stored in history.sqlite, and I can find the corresponding entries there, but pressing the up-arrow doesn't bring the command back – Epispastic
