Disable IPython Exit Confirmation

It's really irritating that every time I type exit(), I get prompted with a confirmation to exit; of course I want to exit! Otherwise, I would not have written exit()!!!

Is there a way to override IPython's default behaviour to make it exit without a prompt?

If you also want Ctrl-D to exit without confirmation, in IPython 0.11, add c.TerminalInteractiveShell.confirm_exit = False to your config file *.

If you don't have a config file yet, run ipython profile create to create one.

Note this ticket if you're working within the Django shell.

* The config file is located at: $HOME/.ipython/profile_default/ipython_config.py
