How do you suppress output in Jupyter running IPython?

Question

How can output to stdout be suppressed?

A semi-colon can be used to supress display of returned objects, for example

>>> 1+1
2

>>> 1+1;   # No output!

However, a function that prints to stdout is not affected by the semi-colon.

>>> print('Hello!')
Hello!

>>> MyFunction()
Calculating values...

How can the output from print / MyFunction be suppressed?

Answer 1

Add %%capture as the first line of the cell. eg

%%capture
print('Hello')
MyFunction()

This simply discards the output, but the %%capture magic can be used to save the output to a variable - consult the docs
