Could we make this pip installable, say as package "ipython-await-magics" (analogous to https://pypi.python.org/pypi/ipython-pip-magics)?

The reason I'm asking is because IPython deprecated %install_ext (ipython/ipython#8601). The recommended way of doing things is pip, apparently.

I would volunteer to do it. In that case, I guess you'd have to attach a license to await.py so I can use it.

(update: @chrisseto and @rickardraysearch, did you get notified about this?)

My ipython does not have %install_ext, I had to copy it into ~/.ipython/extensions/await.py. To autoload it on every start, you can set the following in the config file (probably ~/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py):

c = get_config()
c.InteractiveShellApp.extensions = [
    'await'
]
