IPython 7.0.0 | ||||
============= | ||||

r24603 | Released Thursday September 27th, 2018 | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | |||
IPython 7 include major features improvement as you can read in the following | ||||
Paul Ivanov
|
r24554 | changelog. This is also the second major version of IPython to support only | ||
Python 3 – starting at Python 3.4. Python 2 is still community supported | ||||
on the bugfix only 5.x branch, but we remind you that Python 2 "end of life" | ||||
is on Jan 1st 2020. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | |||
We were able to backport bug fixes to the 5.x branch thanks to our backport bot which | ||||
backported more than `70 Pull-Requests | ||||

|
r24554 | IPython 6.x branch will likely not see any further release unless critical | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | bugs are found. | ||
Paul Ivanov
|
r24554 | Make sure you have pip > 9.0 before upgrading. You should be able to update by simply running | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | |||
.. code:: | ||||
pip install ipython --upgrade | ||||
Yarko Tymciurak
|
r24582 | .. only:: ipydev | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24585 | If you are trying to install or update an ``alpha``, ``beta``, or ``rc`` | ||
version, use pip ``--pre`` flag. | ||||
Yarko Tymciurak
|
r24582 | |||
.. code:: | ||||
pip install ipython --upgrade --pre | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | Or if you have conda installed: | ||
.. code:: | ||||
conda install ipython | ||||
Prompt Toolkit 2.0 | ||||
------------------ | ||||
Paul Ivanov
|
r24554 | IPython 7.0+ now uses ``prompt_toolkit 2.0``, if you still need to use earlier | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | ``prompt_toolkit`` version you may need to pin IPython to ``<7.0``. | ||

|
r24476 | Autowait: Asynchronous REPL | ||
--------------------------- | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24463 | |||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24476 | Staring with IPython 7.0 and on Python 3.6+, IPython can automatically await | ||
code at top level, you should not need to access an event loop or runner | ||||
yourself. To know more read the :ref:`autoawait` section of our docs, see | ||||
:ghpull:`11265` or try the following code:: | ||||

r24490 | .. note:: | ||
Async integration is experimental code, behavior may change or be removed | ||||
between Python and IPython versions without warnings. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24463 | |||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | Integration is by default with `asyncio`, but other libraries can be configured, | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24463 | like ``curio`` or ``trio``, to improve concurrency in the REPL:: | ||
In [1]: %autoawait trio | ||||
In [2]: import trio | ||||
In [3]: async def child(i): | ||||
...: print(" child %s goes to sleep"%i) | ||||
...: await trio.sleep(2) | ||||
...: print(" child %s wakes up"%i) | ||||
In [4]: print('parent start') | ||||
...: async with trio.open_nursery() as n: | ||||
...: for i in range(3): | ||||
...: n.spawn(child, i) | ||||
...: print('parent end') | ||||
parent start | ||||
child 2 goes to sleep | ||||
child 0 goes to sleep | ||||
child 1 goes to sleep | ||||
<about 2 seconds pause> | ||||
child 2 wakes up | ||||
child 1 wakes up | ||||
child 0 wakes up | ||||
parent end | ||||
See :ref:`autoawait` for more information. | ||||

r24476 | Asynchronous code in a Notebook interface or any other frontend using the | ||
Jupyter Protocol will need further updates of the IPykernel package. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | Non-Asynchronous code | ||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24490 | |||
As the internal API of IPython are now asynchronous, IPython need to run under | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24579 | an even loop. In order to allow many workflow, (like using the :magic:`%run` | ||
magic, or copy_pasting code that explicitly starts/stop event loop), when | ||||
top-level code is detected as not being asynchronous, IPython code is advanced | ||||
via a pseudo-synchronous runner, and will not may not advance pending tasks. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24476 | |||
Change to Nested Embed | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24476 | |||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24490 | The introduction of the ability to run async code had some effect on the | ||
``IPython.embed()`` API. By default embed will not allow you to run asynchronous | ||||
code unless a event loop is specified. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24500 | Effects on Magics | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24500 | |||
Some magics will not work with Async, and will need updates. Contribution | ||||
welcome. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24490 | Expected Future changes | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ | ||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24490 | |||
We expect more internal but public IPython function to become ``async``, and | ||||
will likely end up having a persisting event loop while IPython is running. | ||||

r24490 | This took more than a year in the making, and the code was rebased a number of | ||
time leading to commit authorship that may have been lost in the final | ||||
Pull-Request. Huge thanks to many people for contribution, discussion, code, | ||||
documentation, use-case: dalejung, danielballan, ellisonbg, fperez, gnestor, | ||||

r24546 | Autoreload Improvement | ||
---------------------- | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | |||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24579 | The magic :magic:`%autoreload 2 <autoreload>` now captures new methods added to | ||
classes. Earlier, only methods existing as of the initial import were being | ||||
tracked and updated. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | |||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24579 | This new feature helps dual environment development - Jupyter+IDE - where the | ||
code gradually moves from notebook cells to package files, as it gets | ||||
structured. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | |||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24579 | **Example**: An instance of the class ``MyClass`` will be able to access the | ||
method ``cube()`` after it is uncommented and the file ``file1.py`` saved on | ||||
disk. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | |||
..code:: | ||||
# notebook | ||||
from mymodule import MyClass | ||||
first = MyClass(5) | ||||
.. code:: | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24536 | |||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | # mymodule/file1.py | ||
class MyClass: | ||||
def __init__(self, a=10): | ||||
self.a = a | ||||
def square(self): | ||||
print('compute square') | ||||
return self.a*self.a | ||||
# def cube(self): | ||||
# print('compute cube') | ||||
# return self.a*self.a*self.a | ||||
Misc | ||||
---- | ||||
The autoindent feature that was deprecated in 5.x was re-enabled and | ||||
un-deprecated in :ghpull:`11257` | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24579 | Make :magic:`%run -n -i ... <run>` work correctly. Earlier, if :magic:`%run` was | ||
passed both arguments, ``-n`` would be silently ignored. See :ghpull:`10308` | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | |||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24579 | The :cellmagic:`%%script`` (as well as :cellmagic:`%%bash``, | ||
:cellmagic:`%%ruby``... ) cell magics now raise by default if the return code of | ||||
the given code is non-zero (thus halting execution of further cells in a | ||||
notebook). The behavior can be disable by passing the ``--no-raise-error`` flag. | ||||
Matthias Bussonnier
|
r24535 | |||
Deprecations | ||||
------------ | ||||
A couple of unused function and methods have been deprecated and will be removed | ||||
in future versions: | ||||
- ``IPython.utils.io.raw_print_err`` | ||||
- ``IPython.utils.io.raw_print`` | ||||
Backwards incompatible changes | ||||
------------------------------ | ||||
* The API for transforming input before it is parsed as Python code has been | ||||
completely redesigned, and any custom input transformations will need to be | ||||
rewritten. See :doc:`/config/inputtransforms` for details of the new API. | ||||
