  • pystata %stata line magic does not accept '-' arguments

    Great fan of the pystata addition to Stata17 for .ipynb

    However, I am a bit irritated by the fact that single '%' does not support arguments to commands like the double '%%' cell magic does.
    E.g.

    %stata -d myDataFrame

    throws r(199):
    - is not a valid command name., whilst

    %%
    stata -d myDataFrame

    works perfectly fine.
    What's the reason behind this?
Working...
