#3423 Add support for passthrough args to the python repl Issue created by stuhood In particular, the

ipython

repl supports CLI arguments like:

ipython notebook

which launches a visual repl. Supporting passthrough args would mean that:

./pants repl.py --ipython $target -- notebook $file

would work (assuming you added the relevant 'notebook' deps to

--ipython-requirements

) * * * To do this, you would enable passthru args on the

PythonRepl

task by overriding the

supports_passthru_args

property to True (example), and then pass any additional

self.get_passthru_args()

as args while launching the repl. You could then add either a unit or integration test for the passthru. pantsbuild/pants
