Wouldn't it be reasonable to just change the magic character that IPython (and maybe even Leo) uses from '@' to ':', '=', or '/'? As far as I know, it's practically[1] never valid Python to start a line with any of these symbols (this list of not definitive, of course). '/' has the advantage, for IPython, that it's easy to type (no shift involved, at least on my US keyboard) and should be familiar to many people as a "command" character from IRC clients, searching in vim and less, etc. [1] It can be done with a backslash line continuation or in a multi-line docstring, but I wouldn't really consider that the beginning of a line in the practical sense... -bob
