# Main IPython class

# until a full rewrite is made.  I've cleaned all cross-class uses of
# attributes and methods, but too much user code out there relies on the
# equlity %foo == __IP.magic_foo, so I can't actually remove the mixin usage.
#
# But at least now, all the pieces have been separated and we could, in
# principle, stop using the mixin.  This will ease the transition to the
# chainsaw branch.

# For reference, the following is the list of 'self.foo' uses in the Magic
# class as of 2005-12-28.  These are names we CAN'T use in the main ipython

      otherwise kill their mainloop. This is a bother for IPython
      which excepts to catch all of the program exceptions with a try:

      Normally, IPython sets sys.excepthook to a CrashHandler instance, so if
      any app directly invokes sys.excepthook, it will look to the user like
      IPython crashed.  In order to work around this, we can disable the
      CrashHandler and replace it with this excepthook instead, which prints a
      regular traceback using our InteractiveTB.  In this fashion, apps which
      call sys.excepthook will generate a regular-looking exception from
      IPython, and the CrashHandler will only be triggered by real IPython
      crashes.

      This hook should be used sparingly, only in places which are not likely
