Support for creating GUI apps and starting event loops. | ||||
IPython's GUI integration allows interative plotting and GUI usage in IPython | ||||
session. IPython has two different types of GUI integration: | ||||
1. The terminal based IPython supports GUI event loops through Python's | ||||
PyOS_InputHook. PyOS_InputHook is a hook that Python calls periodically | ||||
whenever raw_input is waiting for a user to type code. We implement GUI | ||||
support in the terminal by setting PyOS_InputHook to a function that | ||||
iterates the event loop for a short while. It is important to note that | ||||
in this situation, the real GUI event loop is NOT run in the normal | ||||
manner, so you can't use the normal means to detect that it is running. | ||||
2. In the two process IPython kernel/frontend, the GUI event loop is run in | ||||
the kernel. In this case, the event loop is run in the normal manner by | ||||
calling the function or method of the GUI toolkit that starts the event | ||||
loop. | ||||
In addition to starting the GUI event loops in one of these two ways, IPython | ||||
will *always* create an appropriate GUI application object when GUi | ||||
integration is enabled. | ||||
If you want your GUI apps to run in IPython you need to do two things: | ||||
1. Test to see if there is already an existing main application object. If | ||||
there is, you should use it. If there is not an existing application object | ||||
you should create one. | ||||
2. Test to see if the GUI event loop is running. If it is, you should not | ||||
start it. If the event loop is not running you may start it. | ||||
This module contains functions for each toolkit that perform these things | ||||
in a consistent manner. Because of how PyOS_InputHook runs the event loop | ||||
you cannot detect if the event loop is running using the traditional calls | ||||
(such as ``wx.GetApp.IsMainLoopRunning()`` in wxPython). If PyOS_InputHook is | ||||
set These methods will return a false negative. That is, they will say the | ||||
event loop is not running, when is actually is. To work around this limitation | ||||
we proposed the following informal protocol: | ||||
* Whenever someone starts the event loop, they *must* set the ``_in_event_loop`` | ||||
attribute of the main application object to ``True``. This should be done | ||||
regardless of how the event loop is actually run. | ||||
* Whenever someone stops the event loop, they *must* set the ``_in_event_loop`` | ||||
attribute of the main application object to ``False``. | ||||
* If you want to see if the event loop is running, you *must* use ``hasattr`` | ||||
to see if ``_in_event_loop`` attribute has been set. If it is set, you | ||||
*must* use its value. If it has not been set, you can query the toolkit | ||||
in the normal manner. | ||||

|
r2900 | * If you want GUI support and no one else has created an application or | ||
started the event loop you *must* do this. We don't want projects to | ||||
attempt to defer these things to someone else if they themselves need it. | ||||

The functions below implement this logic for each GUI toolkit. If you need | ||||
to create custom application subclasses, you will likely have to modify this | ||||
code for your own purposes. This code can be copied into your own project | ||||
so you don't have to depend on IPython. | ||||
