How to have visidata.pyobj.view() use custom visidatarc

[sourissouriante]

I might be doing something wrong, but when i explore python objects from within iypthon like this:

import visidata
visidata.pyobj.view(obj)

...then somehow my visidatarc isn't loaded. I might be the only one having this problem/demand or it might be trivial to solve for others. In any case, here is some recipe to resolve this. If I found something that can easily be improved/streamlined or if I can learn how I was doing something wrong, I'd be glad.

To load custom visidatarc in "ipython mode", do this:

Fire up longname command "pyobj-expr" (Ctrl+x) or "exec-python" and input "vd.loadConfigAndPlugins()"

Cheers!

If it helps, you can do the loadConfigAndPlugins() as a Python statement, like this:

import visidata
visidata.vd.loadConfigAndPlugins()
visidata.pyobj.view(obj)

That's awesome, thanks for pointing out! Exactly what I strive to learn!
