title: Error: Line magic function
body: <p>I'm trying to read a file using python and I keep getting this error</p>
  
  <pre><code>ERROR: Line magic function `%user_vars` not found.
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My code is very basic just </p>
  
  <pre><code>names = read_csv('Combined data.csv')
  names.head()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this for anytime I try to read or open a file. I tried using this thread for help. </p>

  <p>I'm using enthought canopy and I have IPython version 2.4.1.  I made sure to update using <a href="http://ipython.org/install.html" rel="noreferrer">the IPython installation page</a> for help. I'm not sure what's wrong because it should be very simple to open/read files. I even get this error for opening text files. </p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>I imported traceback and used </p>
  
  <pre><code> print(traceback.format_exc())
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But all I get is none printed. I'm not sure what that means. </p>
