33 34 IPython provides a replacement for the interactive Python interpreter with
34 35 extra functionality.
35 36
36 37 Main features:
37 38
38 39 * Comprehensive object introspection.
39 40
40 41 * Input history, persistent across sessions.
41 42
42 43 * Caching of output results during a session with automatically generated
43 44 references.
44 45
45 46 * Readline based name completion.
46 47
47 48 * Extensible system of 'magic' commands for controlling the environment and
48 49 performing many tasks related either to IPython or the operating system.
49 50
50 51 * Configuration system with easy switching between different setups (simpler
51 52 than changing $PYTHONSTARTUP environment variables every time).
52 53
53 54 * Session logging and reloading.
54 55
55 56 * Extensible syntax processing for special purpose situations.
56 57
57 58 * Access to the system shell with user-extensible alias system.
58 59
59 60 * Easily embeddable in other Python programs.
60 61
61 62 * Integrated access to the pdb debugger and the Python profiler.
62 63
63 64 The latest development version is always available at the IPython subversion
64 65 repository_.

2
1 3 2007-11-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2 4
3 5 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstop): add a proper logstop()
4 6 method to fully stop the logger, along with a corresponding
5 7 %logstop magic for interactive use.
6 8
7 9 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_host_completers.py: added new host
8 10 completers functionality, contributed by Gael Pasgrimaud
9 11 <gawel-AT-afpy.org>.
10 12
11 13 2007-11-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
12 14
13 15 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (ArgumentError): Apply patch by Paul Mueller
14 16 <gakusei-AT-dakotacom.net>, to fix deprecated string exceptions in
15 17 options handling. Unicode fix in %whos (committed a while ago)
16 18 was also contributed by Paul.
17 19
18 20 2007-11-23 Darren Dale <darren.dale@cornell.edu>
19 21 * ipy_traits_completer.py: let traits_completer respect the user's
20 22 readline_omit__names setting.
21 23
22 24 2007-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
23 25 * ipy_completers.py (import completer): assume 'xml' module exists.
24 26 Do not add every module twice anymore. Closes #196.
25 27
26 28 * ipy_completers.py, ipy_app_completers.py: Add proper apt-get
27 29 completer that uses apt-cache to search for existing packages.
28 30
29 31 2007-11-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
30 32
31 33 * Prompts.py: Do not update _oh and _123 when do_full_cache is not
32 34 true. Closes #194.
33 35
34 36 2007-11-01 Brian Granger <ellisonbg@gmail.com>
35 37
36 38 * iplib.py, rlineimpl.py: Applied Body Water's patches to get IPython
37 39 working with OS X 10.5 libedit implementation of readline.
38 40
39 41 2007-10-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
40 42
41 43 * iplib.py(user_setup): To route around buggy installations where
42 44 UserConfig is not available, create a minimal _ipython.
43 45
44 46 * iplib.py: Unicode fixes from Jorgen.
45 47
46 48 * genutils.py: Slist now has new method 'fields()' for extraction of
47 49 whitespace-separated fields from line-oriented data.
48 50
49 51 2007-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
50 52
51 53 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug that could arise
52 54 when querying objects with no __class__ attribute (such as
53 55 f2py-generated modules).
54 56
55 57 2007-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
56 58
57 59 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): track compilation time and report
58 60 it if longer than 0.1s (fix done to %time and %timeit). After a
59 61 SAGE bug report: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/632.
60 62
61 63 2007-09-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
62 64
63 65 * genutils.py(make_quoted_expr): Do not use Itpl, it does
64 66 not support unicode at the moment. Fixes (many) magic calls with
65 67 special characters.
66 68
67 69 2007-09-14 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
68 70
69 71 * IPython/genutils.py (doctest_reload): expose the doctest
70 72 reloader to the user so that people can easily reset doctest while
71 73 using it interactively. Fixes a problem reported by Jorgen.
72 74
73 75 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): protect the
74 76 FakeModule instances used for __main__ in %run calls from
75 77 deletion, so that user code defined in them isn't left with
76 78 dangling references due to the Python module deletion machinery.
77 79 This should fix the problems reported by Darren.
78 80
79 81 2007-09-10 Darren Dale <dd55@cornell.edu>
80 82
81 83 * Cleanup of IPShellQt and IPShellQt4
82 84
83 85 2007-09-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
84 86
85 87 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): further fixes for
86 88 doctest support.
87 89
88 90 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): minor docstring improvements.
89 91
90 92 2007-09-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
91 93
92 94 * Magic.py (%pushd, %popd, %dirs): Fix dir stack - push *current*
93 95 directory, not the target directory.
94 96
95 97 * ipapi.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: Add ipapi.UsageError, a lighter weight
96 98 exception that won't print the tracebacks. Switched many magics to
97 99 raise them on error situations, also GetoptError is not printed
98 100 anymore.
99 101
100 102 2007-09-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
101 103
102 104 * iplib.py: do not auto-alias "dir", it screws up other dir auto
103 105 aliases.
104 106
105 107 * genutils.py: SList.grep() implemented.
106 108
107 109 * ipy_editors.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: Add some editors
108 110 for easy "out of the box" setup of several common editors, so that
109 111 e.g. '%edit os.path.isfile' will jump to the correct line
110 112 automatically. Contributions for command lines of your favourite
111 113 editors welcome.
112 114
113 115 2007-09-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
114 116
115 117 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fixed bug that was
116 118 preventing source display in certain cases. In reality I think
117 119 the problem is with Ubuntu's Python build, but this change works
118 120 around the issue in some cases (not in all, unfortunately). I'd
119 121 filed a Python bug on this with more details, but in the change of
120 122 bug trackers it seems to have been lost.
121 123
122 124 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_dhist): restore %dhist. No, cd -TAB is
123 125 not the same, it's not self-documenting, doesn't allow range
124 126 selection, and sorts alphabetically instead of numerically.
125 127 (magic_r): restore %r. No, "up + enter. One char magic" is not
126 128 the same thing, since %r takes parameters to allow fast retrieval
127 129 of old commands. I've received emails from users who use this a
128 130 LOT, so it stays.
129 131 (magic_automagic): restore %automagic. "use _ip.option.automagic"
130 132 is not a valid replacement b/c it doesn't provide an complete
131 133 explanation (which the automagic docstring does).
132 134 (magic_autocall): restore %autocall, with improved docstring.
133 135 Same argument as for others, "use _ip.options.autocall" is not a
134 136 valid replacement.
135 137 (magic_pdef): restore %pdef & friends. Used widely, mentioned in
136 138 tutorials and online docs.
137 139
138 140 2007-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
139 141
140 142 * IPython/usage.py (quick_reference): mention magics in quickref,
141 143 modified main banner to mention %quickref.
142 144
143 145 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule): fixes for doctest compatibility.
144 146
145 147 2007-09-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
146 148
147 149 * ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_workdir.py, ipy_fsops.py, iplib.py:
148 150 Callable aliases now pass the _ip as first arg. This breaks
149 151 compatibility with earlier 0.8.2.svn series! (though they should
150 152 not have been in use yet outside these few extensions)
151 153
152 154 2007-09-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
153 155
154 156 * external/mglob.py: expand('dirname') => ['dirname'], instead
155 157 of ['dirname/foo','dirname/bar', ...].
156 158
157 159 * Extensions/ipy_fsops.py: added, has usefull shell utils for plain
158 160 win32 installations: icp, imv, imkdir, igrep, irm, collect (collect
159 161 is useful for others as well).
160 162
161 163 * iplib.py: on callable aliases (as opposed to old style aliases),
162 164 do var_expand() immediately, and use make_quoted_expr instead
163 165 of hardcoded r"""
164 166
165 167 * Extensions/ipy_profile_sh.py: Try to detect cygwin on win32,
166 168 if not available load ipy_fsops.py for cp, mv, etc. replacements
167 169
168 170 * OInspect.py, ipy_which.py: improve %which and obj? for callable
169 171 aliases
170 172
171 173 2007-09-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
172 174
173 175 * ipy_profile_zope.py: add zope profile, by Stefan Eletzhofer.
174 176 Relicensed under BSD with the authors approval.
175 177
176 178 * ipmaker.py, usage.py: Remove %magic from default banner, improve
177 179 %quickref
178 180
179 181 2007-09-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
180 182
181 183 * Magic.py: %time now passes expression through prefilter,
182 184 allowing IPython syntax.
183 185
184 186 2007-09-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
185 187
186 188 * ipmaker.py: Always show full traceback when newstyle config fails
187 189
188 190 2007-08-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
189 191
190 192 * Magic.py: fix %cd for nonexistent dir when dhist is empty, close #180
191 193
192 194 2007-08-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
193 195
194 196 * ipmaker.py: Command line args have the highest priority again
195 197
196 198 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: -i command line argument now behaves as in
197 199 normal python, i.e. leaves the IPython session running after -c
198 200 command or running a batch file from command line.
199 201
200 202 2007-08-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
201 203
202 204 * iplib.py: no extra empty (last) line in raw hist w/ multiline
203 205 statements
204 206
205 207 * logger.py: Fix bug where blank lines in history were not
206 208 added until AFTER adding the current line; translated and raw
207 209 history should finally be in sync with prompt now.
208 210
209 211 * ipy_completers.py: quick_completer now makes it easy to create
210 212 trivial custom completers
211 213
212 214 * clearcmd.py: shadow history compression & erasing, fixed input hist
213 215 clearing.
214 216
215 217 * envpersist.py, history.py: %env (sh profile only), %hist completers
216 218
217 219 * genutils.py, Prompts.py, Magic.py: win32 - prompt (with \yDEPTH) and
218 220 term title now include the drive letter, and always use / instead of
219 221 os.sep (as per recommended approach for win32 ipython in general).
220 222
221 223 * ipykit.py, ipy_kitcfg.py: special launcher for ipykit. Allows running
222 224 plain python scripts from ipykit command line by running
223 225 "py myscript.py", even w/o installed python.
224 226
225 227 2007-08-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
226 228
227 229 * ipmaker.py: finding ipythonrc-PROF now skips ipy_profile_PROF.
228 230 (for backwards compatibility)
229 231
230 232 * history.py: switch back to %hist -t from %hist -r as default.
231 233 At least until raw history is fixed for good.
232 234
233 235 2007-08-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
234 236
235 237 * ipapi.py, iplib.py: DebugTools accessible via _ip.dbg, to catch &
236 238 locate alias redeclarations etc. Also, avoid handling
237 239 _ip.IP.alias_table directly, prefer using _ip.defalias.
238 240
239 241
240 242 2007-08-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
241 243
242 244 * prefilter.py: ! is now always served first
243 245
244 246 2007-08-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
245 247
246 248 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): fix the SystemExit
247 249 auto-suppression code to work in Python2.4 (the internal structure
248 250 of that exception changed and I'd only tested the code with 2.5).
249 251 Bug reported by a SciPy attendee.
250 252
251 253 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
252 254
253 255 * prefilter.py: reverted !c:/bin/foo fix, made % in
254 256 multiline specials work again
255 257
256 258 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
257 259
258 260 * prefilter.py: Take more care to special-case !, so that
259 261 !c:/bin/foo.exe works.
260 262
261 263 * setup.py: if we are building eggs, strip all docs and
262 264 examples (it doesn't make sense to bytecompile examples,
263 265 and docs would be in an awkward place anyway).
264 266
265 267 * Ryan Krauss' patch fixes start menu shortcuts when IPython
266 268 is installed into a directory that has spaces in the name.
267 269
268 270 2007-08-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
269 271
270 272 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): fix prompt separators in
271 273 doctest profile and %doctest_mode, so they actually generate the
272 274 blank lines needed by doctest to separate individual tests.
273 275
274 276 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): modify so that running code
275 277 which calls sys.exit(0) (or equivalently, raise SystemExit(0))
276 278 doesn't get a printed traceback. Any other value in sys.exit(),
277 279 including the empty call, still generates a traceback. This
278 280 enables use of %run without having to pass '-e' for codes that
279 281 correctly set the exit status flag.
280 282
281 283 2007-08-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
282 284
283 285 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
284 286 fix problems with doctests failing when run inside IPython due to
285 287 IPython's modifications of sys.displayhook.
286 288
287 289 2007-8-9 Fernando Perez <fperez@planck.colorado.edu>
288 290
289 291 * IPython/ipapi.py (to_user_ns): update to accept a dict as well as
290 292 a string with names.
291 293
292 294 2007-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
293 295
294 296 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): added new %doctest_mode
295 297 magic to toggle on/off the doctest pasting support without having
296 298 to leave a session to switch to a separate profile.
297 299
298 300 2007-08-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
299 301
300 302 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py (main): fix prompt to
301 303 introduce a blank line between inputs, to conform to doctest
302 304 requirements.
303 305
304 306 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix another part where
305 307 auto-generated docstrings for new-style classes were showing up.
306 308
307 309 2007-08-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
308 310
309 311 * api_changes: Add new file to track backward-incompatible
310 312 user-visible changes.
311 313
312 314 2007-08-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
313 315
314 316 * ipmaker.py: fix bug where user_config_ns didn't exist at all
315 317 before all the config files were handled.
316 318
317 319 2007-08-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
318 320
319 321 * IPython/irunner.py (RunnerFactory): Add new factory class for
320 322 creating reusable runners based on filenames.
321 323
322 324 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py: New profile for
323 325 doctest support. It sets prompts/exceptions as similar to
324 326 standard Python as possible, so that ipython sessions in this
325 327 profile can be easily pasted as doctests with minimal
326 328 modifications. It also enables pasting of doctests from external
327 329 sources (even if they have leading whitespace), so that you can
328 330 rerun doctests from existing sources.
329 331
330 332 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix a buglet where after entering
331 333 some whitespace, the prompt would become a continuation prompt
332 334 with no way of exiting it other than Ctrl-C. This fix brings us
333 335 into conformity with how the default python prompt works.
334 336
335 337 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py (prefilter_paste):
336 338 Add support for pasting not only lines that start with '>>>', but
337 339 also with ' >>>'. That is, arbitrary whitespace can now precede
338 340 the prompts. This makes the system useful for pasting doctests
339 341 from docstrings back into a normal session.
340 342
341 343 2007-08-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
342 344
343 345 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): fix bug introduced in
344 346 r1357, which had killed multiple invocations of an embedded
345 347 ipython (this means that example-embed has been broken for over 1
346 348 year!!!). Rather than possibly breaking the batch stuff for which
347 349 the code in iplib.py/interact was introduced, I worked around the
348 350 problem in the embedding class in Shell.py. We really need a
349 351 bloody test suite for this code, I'm sick of finding stuff that
350 352 used to work breaking left and right every time I use an old
351 353 feature I hadn't touched in a few months.
352 354 (kill_embedded): Add a new magic that only shows up in embedded
353 355 mode, to allow users to permanently deactivate an embedded instance.
354 356
355 357 2007-08-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
356 358
357 359 * iplib.py, ipy_profile_sh.py (runlines): Fix the bug where raw
358 360 history gets out of sync on runlines (e.g. when running macros).
359 361
360 362 2007-07-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
361 363
362 364 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_colors): fix win32-related error message
363 365 that could appear under *nix when readline was missing. Patch by
364 366 Scott Jackson, closes #175.
365 367
366 368 2007-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
367 369
368 370 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_traits_completer.py: Add a new custom
369 371 completer that it traits-aware, so that traits objects don't show
370 372 all of their internal attributes all the time.
371 373
372 374 * IPython/genutils.py (dir2): moved this code from inside
373 375 completer.py to expose it publicly, so I could use it in the
374 376 wildcards bugfix.
375 377
376 378 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix a bug reported by
377 379 Stefan with Traits.
378 380
379 381 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): change internal
380 382 var name from 'object' to 'obj', since 'object' is now a builtin
381 383 and this can lead to weird bugs if reusing this code elsewhere.
382 384
383 385 2007-07-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
384 386
385 387 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix small glitches in
386 388 'foo?' and update the code to prevent printing of default
387 389 docstrings that started appearing after I added support for
388 390 new-style classes. The approach I'm using isn't ideal (I just
389 391 special-case those strings) but I'm not sure how to more robustly
390 392 differentiate between truly user-written strings and Python's
391 393 automatic ones.
392 394
393 395 2007-07-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
394 396
395 397 * completer.py: Applied Matthew Neeley's patch:
396 398 Dynamic attributes from trait_names and _getAttributeNames are added
397 399 to the list of tab completions, but when this happens, the attribute
398 400 list is turned into a set, so the attributes are unordered when
399 401 printed, which makes it hard to find the right completion. This patch
400 402 turns this set back into a list and sort it.
401 403
402 404 2007-07-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
403 405
404 406 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add support for new-style
405 407 classes in various inspector functions.
406 408
407 409 2007-06-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
408 410
409 411 * shadowns.py, iplib.py, ipapi.py, OInspect.py:
410 412 Implement "shadow" namespace, and callable aliases that reside there.
411 413 Use them by:
412 414
413 415 _ip.defalias('foo',myfunc) # creates _sh.foo that points to myfunc
414 416
415 417 foo hello world
416 418 (gets translated to:)
417 419 _sh.foo(r"""hello world""")
418 420
419 421 In practice, this kind of alias can take the role of a magic function
420 422
421 423 * New generic inspect_object, called on obj? and obj??
422 424
423 425 2007-06-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
424 426
425 427 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): fix a problem with
426 428 inspect.getfile that can cause crashes during traceback construction.
427 429
428 430 2007-06-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
429 431
430 432 * iplib.py (handle_auto): Try to use ascii for printing "--->"
431 433 autocall rewrite indication, becausesometimes unicode fails to print
432 434 properly (and you get ' - - - '). Use plain uncoloured ---> for
433 435 unicode.
434 436
435 437 * shadow history. Usable through "%hist -g <pat>" and "%rep 0123".
436 438
437 439 . pickleshare 'hash' commands (hget, hset, hcompress,
438 440 hdict) for efficient shadow history storage.
439 441
440 442 2007-06-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
441 443
442 444 * ipapi.py: _ip.to_user_ns(vars, interactive = True).
443 445 Added kw arg 'interactive', tell whether vars should be visible
444 446 with %whos.
445 447
446 448 2007-06-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
447 449
448 450 * pspersistence.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: directory history now saved
449 451 to db
450 452
451 453 * iplib.py: "ipython -c <cmd>" now passes the command through prefilter.
452 454 Also, it exits IPython immediately after evaluating the command (just like
453 455 std python)
454 456
455 457 2007-06-05 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
456 458
457 459 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a new table icap, which executes a
458 460 Python string and captures the output. (Idea and original patch by
459 461 Stefan van der Walt)
460 462
461 463 2007-06-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
462 464
463 465 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): update printing of
464 466 exception types for Python 2.5 (now all exceptions in the stdlib
465 467 are new-style classes).
466 468
467 469 2007-05-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
468 470
469 471 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add new commands refresh and
470 472 refresh_timer (mapped to "R"/"F5" and to the menu) which restarts
471 473 the iterator once (refresh) or after every x seconds (refresh_timer).
472 474 Add a working implementation of "searchexpression", where the text
473 475 entered is not the text to search for, but an expression that must
474 476 be true. Added display of shortcuts to the menu. Added commands "pickinput"
475 477 and "pickinputattr" that put the object or attribute under the cursor
476 478 in the input line. Split the statusbar to be able to display the currently
477 479 active refresh interval. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
478 480
479 481 2007-05-29 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
480 482
481 483 * fixing set_term_title to use ctypes as default
482 484
483 485 * fixing set_term_title fallback to work when curent dir
484 486 is on a windows network share
485 487
486 488 2007-05-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
487 489
488 490 * %cpaste: strip + with > from left (diffs).
489 491
490 492 * iplib.py: Fix crash when readline not installed
491 493
492 494 2007-05-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
493 495
494 496 * generics.py: intruduce easy to extend result_display generic
495 497 function (using simplegeneric.py).
496 498
497 499 * Fixed the append functionality of %set.
498 500
499 501 2007-05-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
500 502
501 503 * New magic: %rep (fetch / run old commands from history)
502 504
503 505 * New extension: mglob (%mglob magic), for powerful glob / find /filter
504 506 like functionality
505 507
506 508 % maghistory.py: %hist -g PATTERM greps the history for pattern
507 509
508 510 2007-05-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
509 511
510 512 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a Table ihist that can be used to
511 513 browse the IPython input history
512 514
513 515 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Added two command to ibrowse: pickinput
514 516 (mapped to "i") can be used to put the object under the curser in the input
515 517 line. pickinputattr (mapped to "I") does the same for the attribute under
516 518 the cursor.
517 519
518 520 2007-05-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
519 521
520 522 * Grand magic cleansing (changeset [2380]):
521 523
522 524 * Introduce ipy_legacy.py where the following magics were
523 525 moved:
524 526
525 527 pdef pdoc psource pfile rehash dhist Quit p r automagic autocall
526 528
527 529 If you need them, either use default profile or "import ipy_legacy"
528 530 in your ipy_user_conf.py
529 531
530 532 * Move sh and scipy profile to Extensions from UserConfig. this implies
531 533 you should not edit them, but you don't need to run %upgrade when
532 534 upgrading IPython anymore.
533 535
534 536 * %hist/%history now operates in "raw" mode by default. To get the old
535 537 behaviour, run '%hist -n' (native mode).
536 538
537 539 * split ipy_stock_completers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py and
538 540 ipy_app_completers.py. Stock completers (%cd, import, %run) are now
539 541 installed as default.
540 542
541 543 * sh profile now installs ipy_signals.py, for (hopefully) better ctrl+c
542 544 handling.
543 545
544 546 * iplib.py, ipapi.py: _ip.set_next_input(s) sets the next ("default")
545 547 input if readline is available.
546 548
547 549 2007-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
548 550
549 551 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
550 552
551 553 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
552 554 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
553 555 no python installation required).
554 556
555 557 * Removed ipythonrc-scipy, ipy_profile_scipy.py takes
556 558 its place.
557 559
558 560 * rlineimpl.py, genutils.py (get_home_dir): py2exe support
559 561
560 562 2007-05-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
561 563
562 564 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
563 565 failure of 'title' system call properly.
564 566
565 567 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
566 568
567 569 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
568 570 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
569 571
570 572 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
571 573
572 574 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
573 575 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
574 576 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
575 577
576 578 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
577 579
578 580 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
579 581 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
580 582
581 583 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
582 584
583 585 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
584 586 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
585 587
586 588 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
587 589 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
588 590
589 591 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
590 592 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
591 593 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
592 594
593 595 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
594 596
595 597 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
596 598 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
597 599 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
598 600 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
599 601
600 602 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
601 603 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
602 604
603 605 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
604 606
605 607 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
606 608 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
607 609 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
608 610 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
609 611
610 612 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
611 613
612 614 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
613 615
614 616 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
615 617 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
616 618
617 619 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
618 620
619 621 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
620 622
621 623 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
622 624
623 625 * iplib.py: (pre_config_initialization) Catch UnicodeDecodeError if the
624 626 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
625 627
626 628 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
627 629
628 630 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
629 631
630 632 * Update version number
631 633
632 634 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
633 635
634 636 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
635 637
636 638 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
637 639 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
638 640 bug discovered by Ville).
639 641
640 642 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
641 643
642 644 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
643 645 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
644 646
645 647 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
646 648
647 649
648 650 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
649 651
650 652 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
651 653 Closes #149.
652 654
653 655 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
654 656 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
655 657 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
656 658
657 659 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
658 660
659 661 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
660 662 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
661 663 allows wildcards.
662 664
663 665 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
664 666 as opposed to returning nothing.
665 667
666 668 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
667 669 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
668 670
669 671 2007-04-22 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
670 672
671 673 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
672 674 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
673 675
674 676 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
675 677
676 678 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
677 679 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
678 680
679 681 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
680 682
681 683 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
682 684 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
683 685 IPython instance.
684 686
685 687 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
686 688
687 689 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
688 690 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
689 691 'Iptl' template notation,
690 692
691 693 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
692 694 safer & faster 'import' completer.
693 695
694 696 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
695 697 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
696 698
697 699 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
698 700 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
699 701 defmacro() etc.)
700 702
701 703 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
702 704
703 705 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
704 706
705 707 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
706 708
707 709 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
708 710
709 711 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
710 712 and later on win32.
711 713
712 714 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
713 715
714 716 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
715 717
716 718 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
717 719
718 720 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
719 721 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
720 722
721 723 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
722 724
723 725 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
724 726
725 727 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
726 728
727 729 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
728 730
729 731 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
730 732
731 733 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
732 734 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
733 735 every %run call.
734 736
735 737 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
736 738 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
737 739 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
738 740
739 741 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
740 742
741 743 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
742 744 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
743 745 Stefan for the fix.
744 746
745 747 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
746 748 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
747 749 him.
748 750
749 751 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
750 752 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
751 753 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
752 754 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
753 755
754 756 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
755 757 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
756 758 each runcode access.
757 759
758 760 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
759 761 message.
760 762
761 763 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
762 764
763 765 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
764 766 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
765 767 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
766 768
767 769 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
768 770 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
769 771 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
770 772 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
771 773 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
772 774 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
773 775 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
774 776 anything up until we know if it actually works.
775 777
776 778 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
777 779 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
778 780 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
779 781 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
780 782 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
781 783
782 784 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
783 785
784 786 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
785 787 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
786 788 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
787 789
788 790 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
789 791
790 792 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
791 793 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
792 794 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
793 795
794 796 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
795 797
796 798 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
797 799 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
798 800 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
799 801 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
800 802 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
801 803
802 804 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
803 805
804 806 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
805 807 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
806 808
807 809 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
808 810 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
809 811 details in comments left in the code.
810 812
811 813 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
812 814 similar to what we had for Numeric.
813 815
814 816 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
815 817 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
816 818 than readline. Closes #109.
817 819
818 820 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
819 821 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
820 822
821 823 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
822 824
823 825 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
824 826 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
825 827 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
826 828 ongoing Unicode support work.
827 829
828 830 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
829 831 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
830 832 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
831 833 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
832 834
833 835 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
834 836
835 837 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
836 838 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
837 839
838 840 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
839 841
840 842 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
841 843 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
842 844 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
843 845
844 846 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
845 847
846 848 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
847 849 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
848 850 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
849 851 long definition lines for functions.
850 852
851 853 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
852 854
853 855 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
854 856 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
855 857 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
856 858 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
857 859
858 860 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
859 861
860 862 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
861 863
862 864 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
863 865
864 866 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
865 867 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
866 868 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
867 869
868 870 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
869 871 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
870 872
871 873 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
872 874 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
873 875
874 876 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
875 877
876 878 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
877 879 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
878 880 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
879 881
880 882 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
881 883
882 884 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
883 885 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
884 886
885 887 2007-03-20 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
886 888 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
887 889 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
888 890 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
889 891 sometimes return "" as last element.
890 892
891 893 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
892 894
893 895 * IPython/completer.py
894 896 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
895 897 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
896 898 would be completed too early.
897 899
898 900 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
899 901 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
900 902 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
901 903 backwards compatibility.
902 904
903 905 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
904 906 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
905 907 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
906 908 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
907 909 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
908 910 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
909 911 also works when debugging.
910 912
911 913 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
912 914 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
913 915
914 916 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
915 917 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
916 918 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
917 919
918 920 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
919 921 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
920 922 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
921 923
922 924 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
923 925 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
924 926
925 927 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
926 928
927 929 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
928 930 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
929 931 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
930 932
931 933 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
932 934
933 935 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
934 936 to be installed alongside igrid.
935 937 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
936 938 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
937 939 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
938 940
939 941 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
940 942
941 943 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
942 944 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
943 945 Jorgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
944 946
945 947 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
946 948
947 949 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
948 950 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
949 951
950 952 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
951 953 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
952 954
953 955 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
954 956
955 957 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
956 958 as the default browser.
957 959 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
958 960 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
959 961 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
960 962 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
961 963
962 964 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
963 965
964 966 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
965 967 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
966 968 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
967 969
968 970 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
969 971
970 972 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
971 973 Close help window if exiting igrid.
972 974
973 975 2007-03-02 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
974 976
975 977 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
976 978 before calling functions from readline.
977 979
978 980 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
979 981
980 982 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
981 983 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
982 984 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
983 985 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
984 986 falls back to idump.
985 987
986 988 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
987 989
988 990 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
989 991 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
990 992 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
991 993 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
992 994
993 995 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
994 996
995 997 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
996 998 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
997 999 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
998 1000 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
999 1001 %magic with explicit % prefix.
1000 1002
1001 1003 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1002 1004
1003 1005 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
1004 1006 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
1005 1007
1006 1008 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1007 1009
1008 1010 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
1009 1011 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
1010 1012 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
1011 1013 one wants those instead.
1012 1014
1013 1015 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
1014 1016 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
1015 1017 instead.
1016 1018
1017 1019 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1018 1020
1019 1021 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
1020 1022 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
1021 1023 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
1022 1024 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
1023 1025
1024 1026 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1025 1027
1026 1028 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
1027 1029 stop marks.
1028 1030 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
1029 1031 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
1030 1032 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
1031 1033
1032 1034 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1033 1035
1034 1036 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
1035 1037 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
1036 1038 sumbmitted to upstream.
1037 1039
1038 1040 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1039 1041
1040 1042 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
1041 1043 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
1042 1044 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
1043 1045 running into an empty levels list later.
1044 1046
1045 1047 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1046 1048
1047 1049 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
1048 1050 for the noitem object.
1049 1051
1050 1052 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1051 1053
1052 1054 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
1053 1055 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
1054 1056 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
1055 1057 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
1056 1058
1057 1059 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1058 1060
1059 1061 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
1060 1062 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
1061 1063 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
1062 1064 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
1063 1065 filenames.
1064 1066
1065 1067 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
1066 1068 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
1067 1069 out-of-process ipython code.
1068 1070
1069 1071 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
1070 1072 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
1071 1073 doctesting.
1072 1074
1073 1075 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
1074 1076
1075 1077 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1076 1078
1077 1079 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
1078 1080 not being correctly recognized.
1079 1081
1080 1082 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1081 1083
1082 1084 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
1083 1085 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
1084 1086 only item.
1085 1087
1086 1088 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
1087 1089 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
1088 1090 infinite recursion for one line strings).
1089 1091
1090 1092 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1091 1093
1092 1094 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
1093 1095 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
1094 1096 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
1095 1097
1096 1098 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1097 1099
1098 1100 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
1099 1101 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
1100 1102 "%env VISUAL=jed".
1101 1103
1102 1104 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1103 1105
1104 1106 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
1105 1107 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
1106 1108 but I'm not exactly sure why).
1107 1109
1108 1110 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
1109 1111 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
1110 1112
1111 1113 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1112 1114
1113 1115 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
1114 1116 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
1115 1117
1116 1118 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
1117 1119 the time during IPython startup is spent.
1118 1120
1119 1121 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1120 1122
1121 1123 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
1122 1124
1123 1125 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
1124 1126
1125 1127 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
1126 1128
1127 1129 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1128 1130
1129 1131 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
1130 1132 to work properly on posix too
1131 1133
1132 1134 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
1133 1135
1134 1136 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1135 1137
1136 1138 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
1137 1139 prefix + "/scripts".
1138 1140
1139 1141 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
1140 1142
1141 1143 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1142 1144
1143 1145 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
1144 1146 if they already exist
1145 1147
1146 1148 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
1147 1149
1148 1150 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1149 1151
1150 1152 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
1151 1153
1152 1154 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1153 1155
1154 1156 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
1155 1157 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
1156 1158 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
1157 1159
1158 1160 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1159 1161
1160 1162 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
1161 1163 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
1162 1164 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
1163 1165
1164 1166 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
1165 1167 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
1166 1168 in ipy_user_conf.py
1167 1169
1168 1170
1169 1171 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
1170 1172 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
1171 1173 as IPython script.
1172 1174
1173 1175 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
1174 1176
1175 1177 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1176 1178
1177 1179 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
1178 1180 is called before any exception has occurred.
1179 1181
1180 1182 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1181 1183
1182 1184 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
1183 1185 to translate /'s to \'s again.
1184 1186
1185 1187 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
1186 1188 backslash.
1187 1189
1188 1190 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
1189 1191
1190 1192 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1191 1193
1192 1194 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
1193 1195 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
1194 1196 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
1195 1197
1196 1198 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
1197 1199 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
1198 1200
1199 1201 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
1200 1202 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
1201 1203
1202 1204 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
1203 1205
1204 1206 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1205 1207
1206 1208 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
1207 1209 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
1208 1210
1209 1211 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1210 1212 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
1211 1213 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
1212 1214 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
1213 1215 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
1214 1216 mapped to "%" now.
1215 1217 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
1216 1218
1217 1219 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1218 1220
1219 1221 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
1220 1222 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
1221 1223 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
1222 1224 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
1223 1225
1224 1226 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1225 1227
1226 1228 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
1227 1229 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
1228 1230 for shell escapes.
1229 1231
1230 1232 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1231 1233
1232 1234 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
1233 1235 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
1234 1236 vcs_completer.
1235 1237
1236 1238 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1237 1239
1238 1240 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
1239 1241 directly instead!
1240 1242
1241 1243 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
1242 1244
1243 1245 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
1244 1246 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
1245 1247
1246 1248 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
1247 1249 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
1248 1250 explicit.
1249 1251
1250 1252 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
1251 1253 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
1252 1254
1253 1255 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
1254 1256
1255 1257 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
1256 1258
1257 1259 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1258 1260 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
1259 1261 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
1260 1262 implementation for Text is useless.
1261 1263
1262 1264 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
1263 1265
1264 1266 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
1265 1267
1266 1268 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1267 1269
1268 1270 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
1269 1271 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
1270 1272 "profile"
1271 1273
1272 1274 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1273 1275
1274 1276 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
1275 1277 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
1276 1278
1277 1279 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
1278 1280 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
1279 1281
1280 1282
1281 1283 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1282 1284 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
1283 1285 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
1284 1286
1285 1287 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1286 1288
1287 1289 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
1288 1290 with one from UserConfig.
1289 1291
1290 1292 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
1291 1293 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
1292 1294
1293 1295 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
1294 1296 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
1295 1297 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
1296 1298
1297 1299 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
1298 1300
1299 1301 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
1300 1302
1301 1303 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
1302 1304
1303 1305 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
1304 1306
1305 1307 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
1306 1308
1307 1309 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
1308 1310
1309 1311 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
1310 1312
1311 1313 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1312 1314
1313 1315 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
1314 1316 by eval of expr with dots.
1315 1317
1316 1318 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1317 1319
1318 1320 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
1319 1321 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
1320 1322 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
1321 1323 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
1322 1324 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
1323 1325 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
1324 1326
1325 1327 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1326 1328
1327 1329 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
1328 1330 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
1329 1331 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
1330 1332
1331 1333 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
1332 1334 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
1333 1335 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
1334 1336 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
1335 1337 funtionality in ipconfig.
1336 1338
1337 1339 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
1338 1340 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
1339 1341 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
1340 1342 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
1341 1343
1342 1344 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1343 1345
1344 1346 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
1345 1347 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
1346 1348 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
1347 1349 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
1348 1350 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
1349 1351 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
1350 1352 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
1351 1353 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
1352 1354 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
1353 1355 descriptors.
1354 1356
1355 1357 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
1356 1358 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
1357 1359
1358 1360 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
1359 1361 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
1360 1362
1361 1363 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
1362 1364
1363 1365 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
1364 1366
1365 1367 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1366 1368
1367 1369 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
1368 1370 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
1369 1371 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
1370 1372
1371 1373 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
1372 1374 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
1373 1375 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
1374 1376
1375 1377 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1376 1378 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
1377 1379 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
1378 1380 ipy_stock_completers.
1379 1381
1380 1382 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1381 1383
1382 1384 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
1383 1385
1384 1386 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
1385 1387 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
1386 1388 when filtering possible completions.
1387 1389
1388 1390 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
1389 1391
1390 1392 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
1391 1393 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
1392 1394 function
1393 1395
1394 1396
1395 1397 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1396 1398
1397 1399 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
1398 1400 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
1399 1401 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
1400 1402 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
1401 1403 SVN completer.
1402 1404
1403 1405 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
1404 1406 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
1405 1407 name is %led.
1406 1408
1407 1409 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1408 1410
1409 1411 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
1410 1412 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
1411 1413 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
1412 1414
1413 1415 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
1414 1416 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
1415 1417 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
1416 1418 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
1417 1419 hook name is 'complete_command'.
1418 1420
1419 1421 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1420 1422
1421 1423 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
1422 1424 Numeric leftovers.
1423 1425
1424 1426 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
1425 1427 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
1426 1428
1427 1429 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
1428 1430 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
1429 1431
1430 1432 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
1431 1433 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
1432 1434
1433 1435 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
1434 1436 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
1435 1437 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
1436 1438
1437 1439 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1438 1440
1439 1441 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
1440 1442 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
1441 1443 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
1442 1444
1443 1445 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
1444 1446 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
1445 1447
1446 1448 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1447 1449
1448 1450 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
1449 1451 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
1450 1452 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
1451 1453
1452 1454 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1453 1455
1454 1456 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
1455 1457 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
1456 1458 internal crash handler.
1457 1459
1458 1460 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
1459 1461 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
1460 1462 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
1461 1463 at the request of SAGE.
1462 1464
1463 1465 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1464 1466
1465 1467 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
1466 1468 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
1467 1469
1468 1470 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
1469 1471 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
1470 1472 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
1471 1473 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
1472 1474
1473 1475 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
1474 1476 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
1475 1477 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
1476 1478
1477 1479 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1478 1480
1479 1481 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
1480 1482 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
1481 1483 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
1482 1484
1483 1485 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
1484 1486 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
1485 1487
1486 1488 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1487 1489
1488 1490 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
1489 1491 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
1490 1492 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
1491 1493 Stefan.
1492 1494
1493 1495 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1494 1496
1495 1497 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
1496 1498 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
1497 1499 sys.stdout.close().
1498 1500
1499 1501 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1500 1502
1501 1503 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
1502 1504 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
1503 1505 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
1504 1506 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
1505 1507
1506 1508 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
1507 1509 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
1508 1510 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
1509 1511
1510 1512 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
1511 1513 2.5.
1512 1514
1513 1515 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
1514 1516 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
1515 1517 interactively.
1516 1518
1517 1519 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1518 1520
1519 1521 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
1520 1522 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
1521 1523
1522 1524 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1523 1525
1524 1526 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
1525 1527 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
1526 1528 or only files.
1527 1529
1528 1530 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1529 1531
1530 1532 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
1531 1533 they broke unittest
1532 1534
1533 1535 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1534 1536
1535 1537 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
1536 1538 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
1537 1539 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
1538 1540 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
1539 1541
1540 1542 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1541 1543
1542 1544 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
1543 1545 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
1544 1546 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
1545 1547 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
1546 1548 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
1547 1549
1548 1550 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1549 1551
1550 1552 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
1551 1553 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
1552 1554
1553 1555 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1554 1556
1555 1557 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1556 1558 the mode argument).
1557 1559
1558 1560 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1559 1561
1560 1562 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1561 1563 not running under IPython.
1562 1564
1563 1565 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1564 1566 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1565 1567 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1566 1568 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1567 1569 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1568 1570 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1569 1571 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1570 1572 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1571 1573 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1572 1574 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1573 1575 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1574 1576 are still supported.
1575 1577
1576 1578 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1577 1579 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1578 1580 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1579 1581 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1580 1582
1581 1583 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1582 1584 encoding into methods.
1583 1585
1584 1586 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1585 1587
1586 1588 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1587 1589 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1588 1590
1589 1591 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1590 1592
1591 1593 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1592 1594 non existing attributes.
1593 1595
1594 1596 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1595 1597
1596 1598 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1597 1599 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1598 1600
1599 1601 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1600 1602
1601 1603 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1602 1604 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1603 1605
1604 1606 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1605 1607
1606 1608 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1607 1609 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1608 1610 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1609 1611
1610 1612 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1611 1613
1612 1614 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1613 1615 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1614 1616 Stefan van der Walt.
1615 1617
1616 1618 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1617 1619
1618 1620 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1619 1621 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1620 1622
1621 1623 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1622 1624
1623 1625 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1624 1626 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1625 1627 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1626 1628
1627 1629 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1628 1630
1629 1631 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1630 1632 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1631 1633 attributes.
1632 1634
1633 1635 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1634 1636
1635 1637 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1636 1638 commands into the methods implementing them.
1637 1639
1638 1640 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1639 1641
1640 1642 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1641 1643 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1642 1644 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1643 1645
1644 1646 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1645 1647
1646 1648 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1647 1649 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1648 1650
1649 1651 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1650 1652
1651 1653 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1652 1654 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1653 1655
1654 1656 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1655 1657
1656 1658 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1657 1659 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1658 1660 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1659 1661 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1660 1662 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1661 1663 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1662 1664 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1663 1665 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1664 1666 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1665 1667 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1666 1668 the x key to "delete".
1667 1669
1668 1670 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1669 1671
1670 1672 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1671 1673 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1672 1674 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1673 1675 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1674 1676
1675 1677 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1676 1678 prompt
1677 1679
1678 1680 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1679 1681
1680 1682 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1681 1683
1682 1684 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1683 1685 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1684 1686 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1685 1687 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1686 1688
1687 1689 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1688 1690
1689 1691 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1690 1692 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1691 1693 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1692 1694 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1693 1695 doesn't work properly yet.
1694 1696
1695 1697 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1696 1698
1697 1699 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1698 1700 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1699 1701 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1700 1702
1701 1703 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1702 1704
1703 1705 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1704 1706 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1705 1707 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1706 1708 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1707 1709 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1708 1710 execute commands.
1709 1711
1710 1712 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1711 1713
1712 1714 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1713 1715 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1714 1716
1715 1717 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1716 1718
1717 1719 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1718 1720 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1719 1721
1720 1722 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1721 1723
1722 1724 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1723 1725 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1724 1726 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1725 1727
1726 1728 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1727 1729
1728 1730 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1729 1731
1730 1732 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1731 1733 Repo tagged and release cut.
1732 1734
1733 1735 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1734 1736
1735 1737 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1736 1738 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1737 1739
1738 1740 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1739 1741 (for %upgrade)
1740 1742
1741 1743 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1742 1744
1743 1745 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1744 1746 instead of looping 20 times.
1745 1747
1746 1748 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1747 1749 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1748 1750 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1749 1751
1750 1752 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1751 1753 testing for release on 06/06.
1752 1754
1753 1755 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1754 1756
1755 1757 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1756 1758 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1757 1759 live in people's PATH.
1758 1760
1759 1761 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1760 1762 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1761 1763 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1762 1764 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1763 1765 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1764 1766
1765 1767 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1766 1768 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1767 1769
1768 1770 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1769 1771
1770 1772 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1771 1773 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1772 1774
1773 1775 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1774 1776
1775 1777 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1776 1778 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1777 1779 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1778 1780
1779 1781 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1780 1782
1781 1783 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1782 1784 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1783 1785 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1784 1786 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1785 1787
1786 1788 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1787 1789 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1788 1790 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1789 1791 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1790 1792
1791 1793 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1792 1794 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1793 1795 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1794 1796 work.
1795 1797
1796 1798 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1797 1799
1798 1800 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1799 1801 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1800 1802
1801 1803 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1802 1804 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1803 1805 author William Stein.
1804 1806
1805 1807 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1806 1808 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1807 1809 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1808 1810 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1809 1811 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1810 1812 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1811 1813 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1812 1814 objects more easily.
1813 1815
1814 1816 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1815 1817
1816 1818 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1817 1819 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1818 1820 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1819 1821 by Jeffrey Collins.
1820 1822
1821 1823 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1822 1824 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1823 1825 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1824 1826 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1825 1827
1826 1828 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1827 1829 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1828 1830 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1829 1831 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1830 1832
1831 1833 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1832 1834 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1833 1835 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1834 1836 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1835 1837 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1836 1838 compatibility)
1837 1839
1838 1840 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1839 1841 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1840 1842 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1841 1843
1842 1844 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1843 1845 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1844 1846 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1845 1847 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1846 1848 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1847 1849
1848 1850 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1849 1851 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1850 1852 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1851 1853
1852 1854 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1853 1855 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1854 1856 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1855 1857 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1856 1858 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1857 1859 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1858 1860 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1859 1861
1860 1862 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1861 1863 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1862 1864 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1863 1865
1864 1866 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1865 1867 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1866 1868 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1867 1869
1868 1870 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1869 1871 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1870 1872
1871 1873 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1872 1874
1873 1875 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1874 1876 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1875 1877 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1876 1878 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1877 1879 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1878 1880 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1879 1881 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1880 1882 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1881 1883 while running under SAGE.
1882 1884
1883 1885 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1884 1886
1885 1887 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1886 1888 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1887 1889 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1888 1890 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1889 1891
1890 1892 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1891 1893
1892 1894 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1893 1895 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1894 1896 updated.
1895 1897
1896 1898 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1897 1899 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1898 1900 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1899 1901 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1900 1902 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1901 1903
1902 1904 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1903 1905 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1904 1906 so more testing is needed...
1905 1907
1906 1908 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1907 1909
1908 1910 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1909 1911 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1910 1912 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1911 1913 when doing complex debugging.
1912 1914 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1913 1915 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1914 1916 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1915 1917 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1916 1918
1917 1919 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1918 1920
1919 1921 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1920 1922 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1921 1923 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1922 1924 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1923 1925
1924 1926 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1925 1927
1926 1928 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1927 1929 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1928 1930
1929 1931 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1930 1932
1931 1933 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1932 1934 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1933 1935 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1934 1936 been the one to acquire it.
1935 1937
1936 1938 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1937 1939
1938 1940 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1939 1941
1940 1942 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1941 1943
1942 1944 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1943 1945 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1944 1946 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1945 1947
1946 1948 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1947 1949 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1948 1950 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1949 1951 properly flush the output cache.
1950 1952
1951 1953 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1952 1954 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1953 1955
1954 1956 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1955 1957
1956 1958 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1957 1959 are quoted
1958 1960
1959 1961 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1960 1962
1961 1963 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1962 1964 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1963 1965
1964 1966 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1965 1967 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1966 1968
1967 1969 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1968 1970
1969 1971 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1970 1972 %upgrade magic
1971 1973
1972 1974 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1973 1975
1974 1976 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1975 1977 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1976 1978 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1977 1979
1978 1980 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1979 1981
1980 1982 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1981 1983 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1982 1984
1983 1985 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1984 1986 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1985 1987 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1986 1988 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1987 1989 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1988 1990
1989 1991 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1990 1992
1991 1993 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1992 1994 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1993 1995
1994 1996 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1995 1997
1996 1998 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1997 1999 Torsten Marek.
1998 2000
1999 2001 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2000 2002
2001 2003 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
2002 2004 line ranges works again.
2003 2005
2004 2006 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2005 2007
2006 2008 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
2007 2009 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
2008 2010 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
2009 2011 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
2010 2012 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
2011 2013
2012 2014 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
2013 2015 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
2014 2016 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
2015 2017 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
2016 2018 more.
2017 2019
2018 2020 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2019 2021
2020 2022 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
2021 2023 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
2022 2024
2023 2025 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2024 2026
2025 2027 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
2026 2028 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
2027 2029
2028 2030 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2029 2031
2030 2032 * Magic.py: %save works again.
2031 2033
2032 2034 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2033 2035
2034 2036 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
2035 2037
2036 2038 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
2037 2039 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
2038 2040 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
2039 2041
2040 2042 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2041 2043
2042 2044 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
2043 2045 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
2044 2046 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
2045 2047 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
2046 2048
2047 2049 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
2048 2050 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
2049 2051
2050 2052 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
2051 2053 contributed by marienz to close
2052 2054 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
2053 2055
2054 2056 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2055 2057
2056 2058 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
2057 2059
2058 2060 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
2059 2061 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
2060 2062 nonsense.
2061 2063
2062 2064 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2063 2065
2064 2066 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
2065 2067 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
2066 2068
2067 2069 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
2068 2070
2069 2071 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2070 2072
2071 2073 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
2072 2074 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
2073 2075
2074 2076 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2075 2077
2076 2078 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
2077 2079 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
2078 2080 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
2079 2081 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
2080 2082 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
2081 2083 SAGE team.
2082 2084 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
2083 2085 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
2084 2086
2085 2087 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
2086 2088 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
2087 2089 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
2088 2090 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
2089 2091 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
2090 2092
2091 2093 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2092 2094
2093 2095 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
2094 2096 correctly now (on Linux)
2095 2097
2096 2098 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
2097 2099 warnings
2098 2100
2099 2101 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
2100 2102
2101 2103 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
2102 2104
2103 2105
2104 2106 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2105 2107
2106 2108 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
2107 2109 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
2108 2110 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
2109 2111 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
2110 2112 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
2111 2113 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
2112 2114 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
2113 2115 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
2114 2116
2115 2117 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
2116 2118
2117 2119 * aliases can now be %store'd
2118 2120
2119 2121 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
2120 2122 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
2121 2123 at __init__.
2122 2124
2123 2125 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
2124 2126 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
2125 2127
2126 2128 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2127 2129
2128 2130 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
2129 2131 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
2130 2132 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
2131 2133
2132 2134 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2133 2135
2134 2136 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
2135 2137
2136 2138 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2137 2139
2138 2140 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
2139 2141 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
2140 2142 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
2141 2143 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
2142 2144
2143 2145 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
2144 2146 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
2145 2147
2146 2148 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2147 2149
2148 2150 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
2149 2151 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
2150 2152 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
2151 2153 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
2152 2154
2153 2155 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
2154 2156 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
2155 2157 usage.
2156 2158
2157 2159 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
2158 2160 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
2159 2161 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
2160 2162
2161 2163 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
2162 2164
2163 2165 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
2164 2166 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
2165 2167
2166 2168 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
2167 2169 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
2168 2170 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
2169 2171
2170 2172 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
2171 2173
2172 2174 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
2173 2175
2174 2176 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
2175 2177
2176 2178 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
2177 2179 are now more helpful:
2178 2180 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
2179 2181
2180 2182 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2181 2183
2182 2184 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
2183 2185 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
2184 2186
2185 2187 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2186 2188
2187 2189 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
2188 2190 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
2189 2191
2190 2192 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
2191 2193 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
2192 2194 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
2193 2195
2194 2196 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
2195 2197
2196 2198
2197 2199 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2198 2200
2199 2201 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
2200 2202 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
2201 2203
2202 2204 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
2203 2205
2204 2206 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
2205 2207 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
2206 2208 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
2207 2209 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
2208 2210 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
2209 2211 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
2210 2212
2211 2213 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2212 2214
2213 2215 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2214 2216 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2215 2217 \python24\scripts).
2216 2218
2217 2219 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2218 2220 egg.
2219 2221
2220 2222 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2221 2223
2222 2224 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
2223 2225
2224 2226 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2225 2227
2226 2228 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
2227 2229
2228 2230 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2229 2231
2230 2232 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2231 2233 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2232 2234 \python24\scripts).
2233 2235
2234 2236 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2235 2237 egg.
2236 2238
2237 2239 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2238 2240
2239 2241 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
2240 2242 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
2241 2243 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
2242 2244
2243 2245 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
2244 2246 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
2245 2247 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
2246 2248 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
2247 2249
2248 2250 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
2249 2251 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
2250 2252 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
2251 2253 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
2252 2254 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
2253 2255 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
2254 2256 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
2255 2257 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
2256 2258 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
2257 2259 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
2258 2260 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
2259 2261 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
2260 2262
2261 2263 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2262 2264
2263 2265 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
2264 2266 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
2265 2267 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
2266 2268 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
2267 2269
2268 2270 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2269 2271
2270 2272 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
2271 2273 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
2272 2274 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
2273 2275 importing extensions easy.
2274 2276
2275 2277 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
2276 2278 classes / instances of those classes.
2277 2279
2278 2280 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
2279 2281 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
2280 2282 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
2281 2283 the user.
2282 2284
2283 2285 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
2284 2286 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
2285 2287 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
2286 2288
2287 2289 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2288 2290
2289 2291 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
2290 2292 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
2291 2293 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
2292 2294 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
2293 2295 others may also catch any problems. Also made
2294 2296 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
2295 2297 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
2296 2298 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
2297 2299 the method.
2298 2300
2299 2301 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2300 2302
2301 2303 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
2302 2304 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
2303 2305
2304 2306 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2305 2307
2306 2308 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
2307 2309 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
2308 2310 Vivian.
2309 2311
2310 2312 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
2311 2313 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
2312 2314 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
2313 2315 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
2314 2316 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
2315 2317
2316 2318 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2317 2319
2318 2320 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
2319 2321 that returns file contents on exit.
2320 2322
2321 2323 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
2322 2324 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
2323 2325 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
2324 2326 sc files=ls
2325 2327 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
2326 2328 print p,p.mtime
2327 2329
2328 2330 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
2329 2331 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
2330 2332 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
2331 2333 instead of syntax error.
2332 2334
2333 2335
2334 2336 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2335 2337
2336 2338 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
2337 2339 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
2338 2340 data.
2339 2341
2340 2342 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
2341 2343 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
2342 2344 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
2343 2345 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
2344 2346
2345 2347 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
2346 2348 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
2347 2349 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
2348 2350 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
2349 2351 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
2350 2352 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
2351 2353
2352 2354 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2353 2355
2354 2356 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
2355 2357 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
2356 2358 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
2357 2359 current dir.
2358 2360
2359 2361 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
2360 2362 had to create new files.
2361 2363
2362 2364 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
2363 2365 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
2364 2366 future.
2365 2367
2366 2368 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
2367 2369 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
2368 2370 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
2369 2371
2370 2372
2371 2373 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2372 2374
2373 2375 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
2374 2376 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
2375 2377 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
2376 2378 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
2377 2379 later.
2378 2380
2379 2381 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
2380 2382 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
2381 2383
2382 2384 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2383 2385
2384 2386 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
2385 2387 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
2386 2388 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
2387 2389 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
2388 2390 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
2389 2391 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
2390 2392
2391 2393 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2392 2394
2393 2395 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
2394 2396 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
2395 2397 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
2396 2398 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
2397 2399 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
2398 2400 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
2399 2401 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
2400 2402 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
2401 2403 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
2402 2404 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
2403 2405
2404 2406 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
2405 2407 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
2406 2408 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
2407 2409 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
2408 2410
2409 2411 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
2410 2412 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
2411 2413 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
2412 2414 "setup.py install" between changes).
2413 2415
2414 2416 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
2415 2417 if 1:
2416 2418 !ls
2417 2419 !!ls
2418 2420
2419 2421 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2420 2422
2421 2423 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
2422 2424 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
2423 2425 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
2424 2426 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
2425 2427
2426 2428 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
2427 2429 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
2428 2430 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
2429 2431
2430 2432 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2431 2433
2432 2434 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
2433 2435 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
2434 2436 win32.
2435 2437
2436 2438 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
2437 2439
2438 2440 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2439 2441
2440 2442 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
2441 2443 ready for release.
2442 2444
2443 2445 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
2444 2446 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
2445 2447 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
2446 2448 where to copy the info from.
2447 2449
2448 2450 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2449 2451
2450 2452 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
2451 2453 support in the release tools as well.
2452 2454
2453 2455 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2454 2456
2455 2457 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
2456 2458 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
2457 2459 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
2458 2460 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
2459 2461
2460 2462 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2461 2463 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
2462 2464 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
2463 2465
2464 2466 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
2465 2467 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
2466 2468
2467 2469 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
2468 2470 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
2469 2471 printer not to work.
2470 2472
2471 2473 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2472 2474
2473 2475 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
2474 2476 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
2475 2477
2476 2478 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2477 2479
2478 2480 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
2479 2481 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
2480 2482 Moad for help with tracking it down.
2481 2483
2482 2484 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
2483 2485 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
2484 2486 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
2485 2487
2486 2488 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
2487 2489 Ville's patch.
2488 2490
2489 2491 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2490 2492
2491 2493 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
2492 2494 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
2493 2495 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
2494 2496 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
2495 2497 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
2496 2498 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
2497 2499 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
2498 2500
2499 2501 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
2500 2502 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
2501 2503 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
2502 2504
2503 2505 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2504 2506
2505 2507 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
2506 2508 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
2507 2509
2508 2510 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
2509 2511 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
2510 2512 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
2511 2513 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
2512 2514 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
2513 2515 twister).
2514 2516
2515 2517 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
2516 2518 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
2517 2519 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
2518 2520
2519 2521 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
2520 2522 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
2521 2523 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
2522 2524 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
2523 2525 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
2524 2526 something inside the dis module.
2525 2527
2526 2528 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2527 2529
2528 2530 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
2529 2531 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
2530 2532 follows the discussion in
2531 2533 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
2532 2534
2533 2535 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
2534 2536 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
2535 2537 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
2536 2538
2537 2539 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
2538 2540 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
2539 2541 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
2540 2542
2541 2543 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
2542 2544 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
2543 2545 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
2544 2546 speed up this routine.
2545 2547
2546 2548 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
2547 2549 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
2548 2550 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
2549 2551 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
2550 2552 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
2551 2553 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
2552 2554 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
2553 2555 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
2554 2556
2555 2557 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2556 2558 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2557 2559 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2558 2560
2559 2561 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2560 2562 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2561 2563 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2562 2564 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2563 2565 setters don't do anything).
2564 2566
2565 2567 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2566 2568
2567 2569 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2568 2570 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2569 2571 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2570 2572 falling out of sync...)
2571 2573
2572 2574 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2573 2575 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2574 2576 as loops).
2575 2577
2576 2578 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2577 2579 win32 system access.
2578 2580
2579 2581 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2580 2582
2581 2583 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2582 2584 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2583 2585 thread-safe.
2584 2586 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2585 2587 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2586 2588 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2587 2589 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2588 2590 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2589 2591 can still happen.
2590 2592 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2591 2593 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2592 2594 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2593 2595 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2594 2596 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2595 2597 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2596 2598 cleanly.
2597 2599
2598 2600 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2599 2601 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2600 2602 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2601 2603 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2602 2604 users' persisted data.
2603 2605
2604 2606 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2605 2607 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2606 2608 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2607 2609 multiline input (such as macros).
2608 2610
2609 2611 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2610 2612 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2611 2613 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2612 2614 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2613 2615 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2614 2616 informative).
2615 2617
2616 2618 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2617 2619 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2618 2620
2619 2621 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2620 2622 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2621 2623 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2622 2624
2623 2625 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2624 2626 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2625 2627 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2626 2628 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2627 2629 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2628 2630 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2629 2631 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2630 2632 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2631 2633 details.
2632 2634
2633 2635 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2634 2636 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2635 2637 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2636 2638 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2637 2639 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2638 2640
2639 2641 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2640 2642 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2641 2643 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2642 2644 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2643 2645 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2644 2646
2645 2647 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2646 2648 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2647 2649 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2648 2650 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2649 2651 options to %logstart. Closes
2650 2652 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2651 2653 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2652 2654
2653 2655 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2654 2656
2655 2657 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2656 2658 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2657 2659 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2658 2660 list:
2659 2661 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2660 2662
2661 2663 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2662 2664
2663 2665 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2664 2666 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2665 2667 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2666 2668 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2667 2669
2668 2670 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2669 2671 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2670 2672 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2671 2673 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2672 2674 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2673 2675
2674 2676 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2675 2677 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2676 2678 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2677 2679 true by default.
2678 2680
2679 2681 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2680 2682 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2681 2683 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2682 2684 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2683 2685
2684 2686 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2685 2687
2686 2688 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2687 2689 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2688 2690 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2689 2691 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2690 2692 version committed).
2691 2693
2692 2694 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2693 2695 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2694 2696 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2695 2697 discussion on the user list.
2696 2698
2697 2699 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2698 2700 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2699 2701 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2700 2702 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2701 2703
2702 2704 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2703 2705
2704 2706 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2705 2707 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2706 2708 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2707 2709
2708 2710 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2709 2711 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2710 2712 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2711 2713
2712 2714 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2713 2715 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2714 2716 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2715 2717 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2716 2718 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2717 2719 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2718 2720 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2719 2721 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2720 2722 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2721 2723 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2722 2724 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2723 2725 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2724 2726 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2725 2727 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2726 2728 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2727 2729 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2728 2730 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2729 2731 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2730 2732 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2731 2733 branch refactoring.
2732 2734
2733 2735 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2734 2736
2735 2737 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2736 2738 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2737 2739
2738 2740 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2739 2741 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2740 2742 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2741 2743 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2742 2744 worked correctly).
2743 2745
2744 2746 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2745 2747 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2746 2748 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2747 2749
2748 2750 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2749 2751
2750 2752 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2751 2753 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2752 2754 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2753 2755 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2754 2756 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2755 2757 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2756 2758 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2757 2759 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2758 2760
2759 2761 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2760 2762
2761 2763 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2762 2764 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2763 2765 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2764 2766 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2765 2767 on this.
2766 2768
2767 2769 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2768 2770
2769 2771 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2770 2772 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2771 2773 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2772 2774 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2773 2775 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2774 2776
2775 2777 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2776 2778
2777 2779 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2778 2780 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2779 2781 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2780 2782 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2781 2783
2782 2784 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2783 2785
2784 2786 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2785 2787 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2786 2788 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2787 2789
2788 2790 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2789 2791
2790 2792 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2791 2793 startup time.
2792 2794
2793 2795 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2794 2796 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2795 2797 it's working in all cases.
2796 2798
2797 2799 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2798 2800 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2799 2801 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2800 2802 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2801 2803 per-search basis.
2802 2804
2803 2805 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2804 2806
2805 2807 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2806 2808 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2807 2809 of a patch by Jorgen.
2808 2810
2809 2811 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2810 2812
2811 2813 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2812 2814 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2813 2815 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2814 2816
2815 2817 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2816 2818
2817 2819 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2818 2820 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2819 2821 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2820 2822 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2821 2823
2822 2824 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2823 2825
2824 2826 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2825 2827 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2826 2828 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2827 2829 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2828 2830 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2829 2831 implementing this functionality.
2830 2832
2831 2833 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2832 2834
2833 2835 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2834 2836 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2835 2837 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2836 2838 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2837 2839 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2838 2840 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2839 2841 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2840 2842
2841 2843 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2842 2844
2843 2845 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2844 2846 reported by Stephen Walton.
2845 2847
2846 2848 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2847 2849
2848 2850 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2849 2851
2850 2852 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2851 2853 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2852 2854
2853 2855 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2854 2856
2855 2857 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2856 2858 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2857 2859
2858 2860 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2859 2861 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2860 2862
2861 2863 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2862 2864
2863 2865 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2864 2866 finishing.
2865 2867
2866 2868 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2867 2869 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2868 2870
2869 2871 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2870 2872 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2871 2873 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2872 2874
2873 2875 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2874 2876 code, handy in general.
2875 2877
2876 2878 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2877 2879 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2878 2880 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2879 2881
2880 2882 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2881 2883
2882 2884 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2883 2885 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2884 2886 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2885 2887 testing, though.
2886 2888 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2887 2889 like this before...
2888 2890
2889 2891 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2890 2892 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2891 2893
2892 2894 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2893 2895 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2894 2896
2895 2897 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2896 2898
2897 2899 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2898 2900 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by

2901 2903 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2902 2904
2903 2905 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2904 2906 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2905 2907 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2906 2908
2907 2909 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2908 2910 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2909 2911 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2910 2912 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2911 2913 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2912 2914 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2913 2915
2914 2916 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2915 2917
2916 2918 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2917 2919 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2918 2920 beyond readline-based environments.
2919 2921
2920 2922 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2921 2923
2922 2924 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2923 2925
2924 2926 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2925 2927 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2926 2928 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2927 2929 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2928 2930 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2929 2931
2930 2932 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2931 2933
2932 2934 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2933 2935 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2934 2936 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2935 2937
2936 2938 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2937 2939
2938 2940 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2939 2941
2940 2942 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2941 2943
2942 2944 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2943 2945 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2944 2946 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2945 2947 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2946 2948 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2947 2949 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2948 2950
2949 2951 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2950 2952
2951 2953 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2952 2954
2953 2955 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2954 2956
2955 2957 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2956 2958 invalid $HOME under win32.
2957 2959
2958 2960 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2959 2961
2960 2962 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2961 2963 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2962 2964 simpler and a bit faster.
2963 2965
2964 2966 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2965 2967 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2966 2968 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2967 2969 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2968 2970 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2969 2971
2970 2972 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2971 2973 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2972 2974 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2973 2975
2974 2976 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2975 2977 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2976 2978
2977 2979 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2978 2980 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2979 2981 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2980 2982 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2981 2983 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2982 2984 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2983 2985 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2984 2986
2985 2987 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2986 2988
2987 2989 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2988 2990
2989 2991 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2990 2992
2991 2993 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2992 2994 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2993 2995
2994 2996 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2995 2997
2996 2998 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2997 2999 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2998 3000 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2999 3001 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
3000 3002 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
3001 3003 for the contribution.
3002 3004
3003 3005 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
3004 3006 slightly modified version of the patch in
3005 3007 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
3006 3008 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
3007 3009 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
3008 3010
3009 3011 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3010 3012
3011 3013 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
3012 3014 I/O a bit more.
3013 3015
3014 3016 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
3015 3017 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
3016 3018
3017 3019 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
3018 3020
3019 3021 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3020 3022
3021 3023 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
3022 3024 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
3023 3025 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
3024 3026 readline delimiters configuration to read:
3025 3027
3026 3028 readline_remove_delims -/~
3027 3029
3028 3030
3029 3031 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
3030 3032
3031 3033 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3032 3034
3033 3035 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
3034 3036 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
3035 3037 <eli@gondolin.net>
3036 3038
3037 3039 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3038 3040
3039 3041 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
3040 3042 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
3041 3043
3042 3044 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3043 3045
3044 3046 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
3045 3047 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
3046 3048 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
3047 3049
3048 3050 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3049 3051
3050 3052 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
3051 3053 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
3052 3054
3053 3055 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3054 3056
3055 3057 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
3056 3058 to usage page (invoked with --help).
3057 3059
3058 3060 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
3059 3061 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
3060 3062 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
3061 3063 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
3062 3064 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
3063 3065 for more details.
3064 3066
3065 3067 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
3066 3068 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
3067 3069 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
3068 3070 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
3069 3071
3070 3072 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3071 3073
3072 3074 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
3073 3075 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
3074 3076 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
3075 3077 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
3076 3078 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
3077 3079
3078 3080 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
3079 3081 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
3080 3082 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
3081 3083
3082 3084 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3083 3085
3084 3086 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
3085 3087
3086 3088 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3087 3089
3088 3090 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
3089 3091 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
3090 3092 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
3091 3093 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
3092 3094 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
3093 3095
3094 3096 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
3095 3097
3096 3098 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3097 3099
3098 3100 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
3099 3101 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
3100 3102 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
3101 3103 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
3102 3104 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
3103 3105
3104 3106 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
3105 3107 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
3106 3108 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
3107 3109 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
3108 3110 take the text parameter.
3109 3111
3110 3112 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
3111 3113 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
3112 3114 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
3113 3115 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
3114 3116 pysh profile to include the line
3115 3117
3116 3118 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
3117 3119
3118 3120 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
3119 3121 delete pysh.py and the line
3120 3122
3121 3123 execfile pysh.py
3122 3124
3123 3125 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
3124 3126
3125 3127 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
3126 3128 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
3127 3129 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
3128 3130 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
3129 3131 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
3130 3132
3131 3133 * pysh.py:
3132 3134
3133 3135 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3134 3136
3135 3137 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
3136 3138 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
3137 3139 want it can still turn it off.
3138 3140
3139 3141 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
3140 3142 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
3141 3143 off by default.
3142 3144
3143 3145 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
3144 3146 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
3145 3147 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
3146 3148 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
3147 3149 calls.
3148 3150
3149 3151 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3150 3152
3151 3153 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
3152 3154 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
3153 3155 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
3154 3156
3155 3157 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3156 3158
3157 3159 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
3158 3160 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
3159 3161 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
3160 3162 (including 0) after the ':' character.
3161 3163
3162 3164 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
3163 3165 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
3164 3166 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
3165 3167 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
3166 3168
3167 3169 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3168 3170
3169 3171 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
3170 3172 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
3171 3173
3172 3174 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
3173 3175 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
3174 3176 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
3175 3177 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
3176 3178 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
3177 3179 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
3178 3180 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
3179 3181 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
3180 3182
3181 3183 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3182 3184
3183 3185 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
3184 3186 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
3185 3187 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
3186 3188 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
3187 3189 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3188 3190 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3189 3191 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
3190 3192 add new completers at runtime.
3191 3193
3192 3194 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3193 3195
3194 3196 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
3195 3197 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
3196 3198 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
3197 3199 ? system.
3198 3200
3199 3201 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
3200 3202 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
3201 3203 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
3202 3204 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
3203 3205 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
3204 3206 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
3205 3207 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
3206 3208 conveninent, so not all is lost.
3207 3209
3208 3210 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
3209 3211
3210 3212 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
3211 3213 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
3212 3214 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
3213 3215 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3214 3216 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3215 3217
3216 3218 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
3217 3219 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
3218 3220 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
3219 3221 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
3220 3222 add:
3221 3223
3222 3224 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
3223 3225 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
3224 3226
3225 3227 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3226 3228
3227 3229 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
3228 3230 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
3229 3231 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
3230 3232 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
3231 3233
3232 3234 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
3233 3235 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
3234 3236 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
3235 3237 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
3236 3238 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
3237 3239 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
3238 3240 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
3239 3241 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
3240 3242 further, simply bind them to any other name.
3241 3243
3242 3244 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3243 3245
3244 3246 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
3245 3247 prompt namespace handling.
3246 3248
3247 3249 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3248 3250
3249 3251 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
3250 3252 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
3251 3253 trips the emacs python mode).
3252 3254 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
3253 3255 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
3254 3256 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
3255 3257 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
3256 3258 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
3257 3259 calls will be made at runtime.

3259 3261 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3260 3262
3261 3263 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
3262 3264 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
3263 3265 the call to %history.
3264 3266
3265 3267 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
3266 3268
3267 3269 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3268 3270
3269 3271 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
3270 3272 ipmagic() function calls.
3271 3273
3272 3274 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
3273 3275 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
3274 3276
3275 3277 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3276 3278
3277 3279 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
3278 3280 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
3279 3281 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
3280 3282 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
3281 3283 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
3282 3284 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
3283 3285 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
3284 3286 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
3285 3287
3286 3288 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3287 3289
3288 3290 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
3289 3291 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
3290 3292 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
3291 3293 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
3292 3294 Ville Vainio.
3293 3295
3294 3296 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3295 3297
3296 3298 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
3297 3299 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
3298 3300 define the ones they personally like.
3299 3301
3300 3302 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3301 3303
3302 3304 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
3303 3305 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
3304 3306
3305 3307 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3306 3308
3307 3309 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
3308 3310 into keys (for prompts, for example).
3309 3311
3310 3312 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
3311 3313 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
3312 3314 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
3313 3315 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
3314 3316 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
3315 3317 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
3316 3318 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
3317 3319 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
3318 3320
3319 3321 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
3320 3322 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
3321 3323 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
3322 3324 modified version of the original Debian patch at
3323 3325 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
3324 3326
3325 3327 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3326 3328
3327 3329 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
3328 3330 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
3329 3331 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
3330 3332
3331 3333 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
3332 3334 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
3333 3335 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
3334 3336
3335 3337 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
3336 3338
3337 3339 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3338 3340
3339 3341 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
3340 3342 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
3341 3343 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
3342 3344 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
3343 3345 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
3344 3346 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
3345 3347 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
3346 3348 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
3347 3349 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
3348 3350 system is a separate implementation).
3349 3351
3350 3352 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
3351 3353 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
3352 3354 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
3353 3355 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
3354 3356 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
3355 3357 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
3356 3358 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
3357 3359 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
3358 3360 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
3359 3361 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
3360 3362 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
3361 3363
3362 3364 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3363 3365
3364 3366 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
3365 3367 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
3366 3368 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
3367 3369 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
3368 3370 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
3369 3371 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
3370 3372 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
3371 3373 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
3372 3374
3373 3375 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3374 3376
3375 3377 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
3376 3378 previous call produced a syntax error.
3377 3379
3378 3380 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3379 3381 classes without constructor.
3380 3382
3381 3383 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3382 3384
3383 3385 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
3384 3386 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
3385 3387 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
3386 3388 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
3387 3389 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
3388 3390 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
3389 3391 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3390 3392
3391 3393 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3392 3394
3393 3395 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
3394 3396 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
3395 3397
3396 3398 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3397 3399
3398 3400 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
3399 3401 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
3400 3402 optimizations.
3401 3403
3402 3404 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
3403 3405 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
3404 3406
3405 3407 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3406 3408
3407 3409 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
3408 3410 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
3409 3411 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
3410 3412 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
3411 3413 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
3412 3414 avoid annoying the lists further.
3413 3415
3414 3416 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
3415 3417
3416 3418 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3417 3419
3418 3420 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
3419 3421 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
3420 3422 norm definitions.
3421 3423 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
3422 3424 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
3423 3425 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
3424 3426
3425 3427 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
3426 3428 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
3427 3429 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
3428 3430 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
3429 3431 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
3430 3432
3431 3433 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
3432 3434 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
3433 3435 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
3434 3436 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
3435 3437
3436 3438 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
3437 3439 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
3438 3440 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
3439 3441 fixes.
3440 3442
3441 3443 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
3442 3444 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
3443 3445 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
3444 3446 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
3445 3447 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
3446 3448 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
3447 3449 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
3448 3450
3449 3451 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9

3451 3453 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3452 3454
3453 3455 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
3454 3456 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
3455 3457 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
3456 3458 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
3457 3459 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
3458 3460 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
3459 3461 Panel.
3460 3462
3461 3463 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
3462 3464 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
3463 3465 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
3464 3466 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
3465 3467 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
3466 3468
3467 3469 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3468 3470
3469 3471 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
3470 3472 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
3471 3473
3472 3474 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
3473 3475
3474 3476 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3475 3477
3476 3478 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
3477 3479 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
3478 3480 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
3479 3481 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
3480 3482 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
3481 3483 python shell.
3482 3484
3483 3485 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
3484 3486 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
3485 3487 on assignments. This closes
3486 3488 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
3487 3489 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
3488 3490 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
3489 3491
3490 3492 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3491 3493
3492 3494 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
3493 3495 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
3494 3496
3495 3497 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
3496 3498
3497 3499 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3498 3500
3499 3501 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
3500 3502 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
3501 3503
3502 3504 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3503 3505
3504 3506 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3505 3507 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
3506 3508 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
3507 3509
3508 3510 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3509 3511
3510 3512 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
3511 3513 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
3512 3514 'parent' object were present on the same line.
3513 3515
3514 3516 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3515 3517
3516 3518 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
3517 3519 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
3518 3520 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
3519 3521
3520 3522 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
3521 3523 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
3522 3524 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
3523 3525
3524 3526 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3525 3527
3526 3528 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
3527 3529 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
3528 3530
3529 3531 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3530 3532
3531 3533 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
3532 3534 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
3533 3535 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
3534 3536
3535 3537 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3536 3538
3537 3539 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
3538 3540 reported by Prabhu.
3539 3541 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
3540 3542 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
3541 3543 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
3542 3544
3543 3545 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
3544 3546 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
3545 3547
3546 3548 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
3547 3549 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
3548 3550 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
3549 3551 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
3550 3552 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
3551 3553 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
3552 3554
3553 3555 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
3554 3556
3555 3557 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3556 3558
3557 3559 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3558 3560 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3559 3561 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3560 3562 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3561 3563
3562 3564 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3563 3565 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3564 3566
3565 3567 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3566 3568 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3567 3569 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3568 3570 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3569 3571 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3570 3572 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3571 3573 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3572 3574
3573 3575 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3574 3576 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3575 3577 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3576 3578
3577 3579 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3578 3580 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3579 3581 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3580 3582 before.
3581 3583
3582 3584 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3583 3585
3584 3586 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3585 3587 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3586 3588 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3587 3589 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3588 3590
3589 3591 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3590 3592 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3591 3593 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3592 3594 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3593 3595 timing very short-running code.
3594 3596
3595 3597 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3596 3598 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3597 3599 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3598 3600 utility.
3599 3601
3600 3602 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3601 3603 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3602 3604 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3603 3605 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3604 3606 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3605 3607 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3606 3608 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3607 3609 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3608 3610
3609 3611 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3610 3612 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3611 3613 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3612 3614
3613 3615 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3614 3616 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3615 3617 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3616 3618 is for).
3617 3619
3618 3620 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3619 3621 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3620 3622 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3621 3623 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3622 3624 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.

3624 3626 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3625 3627
3626 3628 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3627 3629 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3628 3630 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3629 3631 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3630 3632 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3631 3633
3632 3634 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3633 3635 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3634 3636 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3635 3637 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3636 3638 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3637 3639 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3638 3640
3639 3641 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3640 3642
3641 3643 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3642 3644 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3643 3645
3644 3646 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3645 3647
3646 3648 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3647 3649 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3648 3650 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3649 3651 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3650 3652
3651 3653 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3652 3654
3653 3655 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3654 3656
3655 3657 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3656 3658 setting with -d option.
3657 3659
3658 3660 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3659 3661 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3660 3662 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3661 3663 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3662 3664
3663 3665 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3664 3666
3665 3667 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3666 3668 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3667 3669
3668 3670 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3669 3671 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3670 3672 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3671 3673 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3672 3674 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3673 3675 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3674 3676 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3675 3677 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3676 3678 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3677 3679 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3678 3680 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3679 3681
3680 3682 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3681 3683
3682 3684 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3683 3685 cache when empty lines were present.
3684 3686
3685 3687 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3686 3688
3687 3689 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3688 3690 options for WX and GTK.
3689 3691
3690 3692 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3691 3693
3692 3694 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3693 3695 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3694 3696 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3695 3697 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3696 3698 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3697 3699 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3698 3700 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3699 3701
3700 3702 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3701 3703 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3702 3704
3703 3705 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3704 3706
3705 3707 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3706 3708 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3707 3709 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3708 3710 many thanks.
3709 3711
3710 3712 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3711 3713 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3712 3714 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3713 3715
3714 3716 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3715 3717
3716 3718 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3717 3719 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3718 3720 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3719 3721
3720 3722 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3721 3723
3722 3724 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3723 3725
3724 3726 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3725 3727 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3726 3728 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3727 3729
3728 3730 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3729 3731
3730 3732 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3731 3733 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3732 3734
3733 3735 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3734 3736
3735 3737 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3736 3738 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3737 3739 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3738 3740 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3739 3741 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3740 3742 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3741 3743 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3742 3744
3743 3745 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3744 3746
3745 3747 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3746 3748 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3747 3749 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3748 3750 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3749 3751
3750 3752 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3751 3753 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3752 3754
3753 3755 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3754 3756
3755 3757 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3756 3758 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3757 3759
3758 3760 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3759 3761 use throughout ipython.
3760 3762
3761 3763 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3762 3764 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3763 3765
3764 3766 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3765 3767 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3766 3768 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3767 3769 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3768 3770
3769 3771 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3770 3772
3771 3773 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3772 3774 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3773 3775 report by Francesc Alted.
3774 3776
3775 3777 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3776 3778
3777 3779 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3778 3780 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3779 3781
3780 3782 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3781 3783
3782 3784 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3783 3785 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3784 3786 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3785 3787 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3786 3788 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3787 3789 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3788 3790 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3789 3791 correctly set.
3790 3792
3791 3793 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3792 3794
3793 3795 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3794 3796 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3795 3797 import requirement of PEP-328.
3796 3798
3797 3799 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3798 3800 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3799 3801 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3800 3802 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3801 3803
3802 3804 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3803 3805
3804 3806 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3805 3807
3806 3808 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3807 3809 via a normal python function call.
3808 3810
3809 3811 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3810 3812 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3811 3813 2.4.
3812 3814
3813 3815 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3814 3816
3815 3817 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3816 3818 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3817 3819 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3818 3820 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3819 3821 is given to the user).
3820 3822
3821 3823 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3822 3824
3823 3825 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3824 3826 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3825 3827 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3826 3828 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3827 3829
3828 3830 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3829 3831 python 2.2.
3830 3832
3831 3833 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3832 3834 banner arg for embedded customization.
3833 3835
3834 3836 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3835 3837 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3836 3838 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3837 3839 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3838 3840 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3839 3841 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3840 3842
3841 3843 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3842 3844 minor changes to debian dir.
3843 3845
3844 3846 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3845 3847 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3846 3848 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3847 3849 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3848 3850
3849 3851 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3850 3852
3851 3853 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3852 3854 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3853 3855 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3854 3856 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3855 3857 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3856 3858
3857 3859 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3858 3860
3859 3861 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3860 3862 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3861 3863
3862 3864 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3863 3865
3864 3866 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3865 3867 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3866 3868
3867 3869 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3868 3870
3869 3871 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3870 3872
3871 3873 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3872 3874 updated.
3873 3875
3874 3876 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3875 3877
3876 3878 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3877 3879 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3878 3880 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3879 3881 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3880 3882 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3881 3883
3882 3884 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3883 3885 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3884 3886 split regexp. Closes
3885 3887 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3886 3888 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3887 3889 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3888 3890 extensions.
3889 3891
3890 3892 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3891 3893 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3892 3894 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3893 3895 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3894 3896 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3895 3897
3896 3898 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3897 3899 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3898 3900 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3899 3901 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3900 3902
3901 3903 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3902 3904 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3903 3905
3904 3906 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3905 3907 fine-tune banner.
3906 3908
3907 3909 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3908 3910 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3909 3911
3910 3912 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3911 3913
3912 3914 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3913 3915 were missing.
3914 3916
3915 3917 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3916 3918 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3917 3919 valid at the command line.
3918 3920
3919 3921 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3920 3922 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3921 3923
3922 3924 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3923 3925
3924 3926 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3925 3927 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3926 3928 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3927 3929
3928 3930 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3929 3931
3930 3932 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3931 3933 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3932 3934 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3933 3935 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3934 3936 continue to use the standard profiler.
3935 3937
3936 3938 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3937 3939
3938 3940 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3939 3941 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3940 3942 close.
3941 3943
3942 3944 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3943 3945
3944 3946 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3945 3947 in Magic and ultraTB.
3946 3948
3947 3949 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3948 3950
3949 3951 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3950 3952 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3951 3953 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3952 3954 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3953 3955
3954 3956 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3955 3957 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3956 3958 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3957 3959 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3958 3960 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3959 3961 infrastructure in place.
3960 3962
3961 3963 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3962 3964
3963 3965 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3964 3966
3965 3967 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3966 3968 the pylab profile.
3967 3969
3968 3970 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3969 3971
3970 3972 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3971 3973
3972 3974 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3973 3975 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3974 3976 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3975 3977 itself.
3976 3978
3977 3979 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3978 3980 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3979 3981 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3980 3982 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3981 3983 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3982 3984 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3983 3985 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3984 3986 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3985 3987
3986 3988 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3987 3989 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3988 3990
3989 3991 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3990 3992
3991 3993 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3992 3994 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3993 3995 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3994 3996
3995 3997 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3996 3998
3997 3999 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3998 4000 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3999 4001
4000 4002 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4001 4003
4002 4004 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
4003 4005
4004 4006 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
4005 4007
4006 4008 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4007 4009
4008 4010 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
4009 4011 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
4010 4012 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
4011 4013
4012 4014 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4013 4015
4014 4016 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
4015 4017 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
4016 4018 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
4017 4019 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
4018 4020 works.
4019 4021
4020 4022 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
4021 4023 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
4022 4024 practice.
4023 4025
4024 4026 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4025 4027
4026 4028 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
4027 4029 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
4028 4030 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
4029 4031
4030 4032 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4031 4033
4032 4034 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
4033 4035 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
4034 4036 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
4035 4037 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
4036 4038
4037 4039 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4038 4040
4039 4041 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
4040 4042 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
4041 4043 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
4042 4044 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
4043 4045
4044 4046 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
4045 4047
4046 4048 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4047 4049
4048 4050 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
4049 4051 fail for any number.
4050 4052 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
4051 4053 empty bookmarks.
4052 4054
4053 4055 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
4054 4056
4055 4057 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4056 4058
4057 4059 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
4058 4060
4059 4061 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
4060 4062 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
4061 4063
4062 4064 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
4063 4065 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
4064 4066
4065 4067 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4066 4068
4067 4069 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
4068 4070 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
4069 4071 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
4070 4072 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
4071 4073 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
4072 4074
4073 4075 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4074 4076
4075 4077 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
4076 4078 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
4077 4079
4078 4080 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4079 4081
4080 4082 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4081 4083 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
4082 4084 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
4083 4085 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
4084 4086
4085 4087 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
4086 4088 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
4087 4089 Schmolck.
4088 4090
4089 4091 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4090 4092
4091 4093 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
4092 4094
4093 4095 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
4094 4096 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
4095 4097
4096 4098 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
4097 4099 optimizations.
4098 4100
4099 4101 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
4100 4102 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
4101 4103
4102 4104 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4103 4105 --Started changelog.
4104 4106 --make clear do what it say it does
4105 4107 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
4106 4108 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
4107 4109 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
4108 4110 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
4109 4111 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
4110 4112 can be done for other cases.
4111 4113 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
4112 4114 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
4113 4115 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
4114 4116
4115 4117 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4116 4118 --added logfile rotation
4117 4119 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
4118 4120
4119 4121 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4120 4122 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
4121 4123 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
4122 4124 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
4123 4125 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
4124 4126 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
4125 4127 --added global logfile option
4126 4128 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
4127 4129 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
4128 4130
4129 4131 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4130 4132 --added a README
4131 4133 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
4132 4134 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
4133 4135 bug or feature.
4134 4136 --changed rc file for new behavior
4135 4137
4136 4138 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4137 4139
4138 4140 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
4139 4141 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
4140 4142 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
4141 4143
4142 4144 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
4143 4145 information which was there from Janko's original code:
4144 4146
4145 4147 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
4146 4148
4147 4149 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
4148 4150 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
4149 4151 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
4150 4152 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
4151 4153 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
4152 4154 and prepended with a #.
4153 4155
4154 4156 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
4155 4157 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
4156 4158
4157 4159 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4158 4160
4159 4161 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
4160 4162 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
4161 4163
4162 4164 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4163 4165
4164 4166 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
4165 4167 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
4166 4168
4167 4169 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4168 4170
4169 4171 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
4170 4172 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
4171 4173 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
4172 4174
4173 4175 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4174 4176
4175 4177 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
4176 4178 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
4177 4179
4178 4180 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
4179 4181 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
4180 4182 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
4181 4183 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
4182 4184 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
4183 4185 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
4184 4186 be implemented later).
4185 4187
4186 4188 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
4187 4189 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
4188 4190 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
4189 4191 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
4190 4192
4191 4193 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
4192 4194 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
4193 4195 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
4194 4196
4195 4197 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
4196 4198 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
4197 4199
4198 4200 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
4199 4201 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
4200 4202 readline make it impossible to go further.
4201 4203
4202 4204 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4203 4205
4204 4206 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
4205 4207 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
4206 4208
4207 4209 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4208 4210
4209 4211 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
4210 4212 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
4211 4213 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
4212 4214 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
4213 4215
4214 4216 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
4215 4217 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
4216 4218 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
4217 4219 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
4218 4220
4219 4221 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
4220 4222 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
4221 4223 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
4222 4224 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
4223 4225 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
4224 4226 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
4225 4227 problem.
4226 4228
4227 4229 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
4228 4230 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
4229 4231
4230 4232 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
4231 4233 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
4232 4234 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
4233 4235
4234 4236 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4235 4237
4236 4238 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
4237 4239 continue prompts.
4238 4240
4239 4241 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
4240 4242 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
4241 4243 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
4242 4244 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
4243 4245 byte-compilation saves time.
4244 4246
4245 4247 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4246 4248
4247 4249 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
4248 4250 -NUM', which was recently broken.
4249 4251
4250 4252 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
4251 4253 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
4252 4254
4253 4255 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
4254 4256 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
4255 4257 common cases where it's a problem.
4256 4258
4257 4259 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4258 4260
4259 4261 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
4260 4262 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
4261 4263 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
4262 4264 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
4263 4265 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
4264 4266 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
4265 4267
4266 4268 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4267 4269
4268 4270 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
4269 4271 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
4270 4272
4271 4273 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
4272 4274 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
4273 4275 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
4274 4276 structure as win_exec_ext.
4275 4277
4276 4278 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
4277 4279 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
4278 4280
4279 4281 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
4280 4282 delete aliases.
4281 4283
4282 4284 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
4283 4285 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
4284 4286
4285 4287 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4286 4288
4287 4289 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
4288 4290 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
4289 4291
4290 4292 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4291 4293
4292 4294 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
4293 4295 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
4294 4296
4295 4297 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
4296 4298 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
4297 4299
4298 4300 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
4299 4301 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
4300 4302 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
4301 4303 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
4302 4304 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
4303 4305 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
4304 4306
4305 4307 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
4306 4308 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
4307 4309 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
4308 4310
4309 4311 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
4310 4312 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
4311 4313 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
4312 4314
4313 4315 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
4314 4316 via an extra $. For example:

4323 4325
4324 4326 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
4325 4327 things prematurely.
4326 4328
4327 4329 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
4328 4330 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
4329 4331
4330 4332 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
4331 4333 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
4332 4334 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
4333 4335 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
4334 4336 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
4335 4337 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
4336 4338 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
4337 4339 programs in the user's path is obtained.
4338 4340
4339 4341 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
4340 4342 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
4341 4343 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
4342 4344 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
4343 4345 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
4344 4346 with the old system).
4345 4347
4346 4348 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4347 4349
4348 4350 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
4349 4351 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
4350 4352
4351 4353 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
4352 4354 call to eval.
4353 4355 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
4354 4356 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
4355 4357 in.
4356 4358
4357 4359 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4358 4360
4359 4361 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
4360 4362 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
4361 4363 confusion).
4362 4364
4363 4365 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
4364 4366 check for Windows users.
4365 4367
4366 4368 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
4367 4369 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
4368 4370 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
4369 4371 download it.
4370 4372
4371 4373 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4372 4374
4373 4375 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
4374 4376 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
4375 4377 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
4376 4378 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
4377 4379 of IDLE's out).
4378 4380
4379 4381 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
4380 4382 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
4381 4383 eventually.
4382 4384 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
4383 4385
4384 4386 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4385 4387
4386 4388 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
4387 4389 list of auto-defined aliases.
4388 4390
4389 4391 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4390 4392
4391 4393 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
4392 4394 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
4393 4395 things under Windows).
4394 4396
4395 4397 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4396 4398
4397 4399 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
4398 4400 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
4399 4401 reported by Thorsten.
4400 4402
4401 4403 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4402 4404
4403 4405 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
4404 4406 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
4405 4407 for all examples and the manual as well.
4406 4408
4407 4409 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4408 4410
4409 4411 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
4410 4412 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
4411 4413 inherit from BasePrompt.
4412 4414
4413 4415 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
4414 4416 with python version (since paths are fixed).
4415 4417
4416 4418 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
4417 4419 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
4418 4420 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
4419 4421 defaults.
4420 4422 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
4421 4423 this fix manually!
4422 4424
4423 4425 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
4424 4426 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
4425 4427 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
4426 4428 distutils).
4427 4429
4428 4430 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
4429 4431 usage of new '\D' escape.
4430 4432
4431 4433 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
4432 4434 lacks os.getuid())
4433 4435 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
4434 4436 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
4435 4437 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
4436 4438 handling mechanism.
4437 4439 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
4438 4440 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
4439 4441 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
4440 4442 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
4441 4443 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
4442 4444 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
4443 4445 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
4444 4446
4445 4447 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4446 4448
4447 4449 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
4448 4450 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
4449 4451 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
4450 4452
4451 4453 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
4452 4454 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
4453 4455 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
4454 4456 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
4455 4457 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
4456 4458 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
4457 4459 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
4458 4460 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4459 4461
4460 4462 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
4461 4463 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
4462 4464 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
4463 4465 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
4464 4466 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
4465 4467 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
4466 4468 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
4467 4469 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
4468 4470
4469 4471 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
4470 4472 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
4471 4473 functions uniform.
4472 4474 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
4473 4475
4474 4476 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
4475 4477 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
4476 4478 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
4477 4479 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
4478 4480 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
4479 4481 use to parse their options.
4480 4482
4481 4483 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
4482 4484 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
4483 4485 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
4484 4486
4485 4487 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
4486 4488 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
4487 4489 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
4488 4490 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
4489 4491 via the prompt_specials.
4490 4492
4491 4493 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4492 4494
4493 4495 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
4494 4496 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
4495 4497 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
4496 4498 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
4497 4499 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
4498 4500 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4499 4501 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
4500 4502 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
4501 4503
4502 4504 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4503 4505
4504 4506 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
4505 4507 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
4506 4508 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
4507 4509
4508 4510 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4509 4511
4510 4512 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
4511 4513 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
4512 4514
4513 4515 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4514 4516
4515 4517 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
4516 4518 parens would get passed to the shell.
4517 4519
4518 4520 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4519 4521
4520 4522 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
4521 4523 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
4522 4524
4523 4525 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
4524 4526 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
4525 4527 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
4526 4528 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
4527 4529 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
4528 4530
4529 4531 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
4530 4532 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
4531 4533 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
4532 4534 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
4533 4535
4534 4536 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
4535 4537
4536 4538 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4537 4539
4538 4540 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
4539 4541 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
4540 4542 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4541 4543
4542 4544 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
4543 4545 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
4544 4546 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
4545 4547 official documentation.
4546 4548
4547 4549 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4548 4550
4549 4551 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
4550 4552 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
4551 4553 explicit filename.
4552 4554
4553 4555 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4554 4556
4555 4557 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4556 4558 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4557 4559 case.
4558 4560
4559 4561 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4560 4562 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4561 4563 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4562 4564
4563 4565 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
4564 4566
4565 4567 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4566 4568
4567 4569 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4568 4570 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4569 4571 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4570 4572 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4571 4573 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4572 4574 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4573 4575 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4574 4576 any changes to python proper.
4575 4577
4576 4578 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4577 4579 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4578 4580 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4579 4581 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4580 4582 Schmolck.
4581 4583
4582 4584 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4583 4585
4584 4586 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4585 4587 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4586 4588 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4587 4589 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4588 4590
4589 4591 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4590 4592
4591 4593 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4592 4594 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4593 4595 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4594 4596 name).
4595 4597
4596 4598 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4597 4599 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4598 4600 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4599 4601 Francois Pinard.
4600 4602
4601 4603 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4602 4604
4603 4605 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4604 4606 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4605 4607 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4606 4608 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4607 4609 not work.
4608 4610
4609 4611 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4610 4612
4611 4613 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4612 4614 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4613 4615 distinguishes stdout/err.
4614 4616
4615 4617 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4616 4618 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4617 4619 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4618 4620 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4619 4621 the standard library.
4620 4622
4621 4623 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4622 4624 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4623 4625
4624 4626 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4625 4627 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4626 4628
4627 4629 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4628 4630
4629 4631 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4630 4632 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4631 4633 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4632 4634 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4633 4635 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4634 4636 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4635 4637
4636 4638 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4637 4639
4638 4640 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4639 4641 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4640 4642 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4641 4643 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4642 4644
4643 4645 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4644 4646
4645 4647 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4646 4648 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4647 4649 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4648 4650 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4649 4651
4650 4652 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4651 4653
4652 4654 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4653 4655 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4654 4656 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4655 4657 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4656 4658 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4657 4659 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4658 4660 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4659 4661 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4660 4662
4661 4663 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4662 4664
4663 4665 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4664 4666 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4665 4667
4666 4668 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4667 4669
4668 4670 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4669 4671 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4670 4672 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4671 4673 very short.

4675 4677 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4676 4678 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4677 4679 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4678 4680 this before making it permanent.
4679 4681
4680 4682 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4681 4683 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4682 4684 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4683 4685 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4684 4686
4685 4687 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4686 4688
4687 4689 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4688 4690 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4689 4691
4690 4692 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4691 4693
4692 4694 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4693 4695 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4694 4696 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4695 4697 cases I've missed.
4696 4698
4697 4699 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4698 4700
4699 4701 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4700 4702 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4701 4703 system would be triggered for @p.
4702 4704
4703 4705 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4704 4706 cleanups, code unmodified.
4705 4707
4706 4708 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4707 4709 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4708 4710 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4709 4711 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4710 4712 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4711 4713 The actual changes affect many files.
4712 4714
4713 4715 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4714 4716
4715 4717 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4716 4718 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4717 4719 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4718 4720
4719 4721 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4720 4722
4721 4723 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4722 4724 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4723 4725
4724 4726 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4725 4727
4726 4728 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4727 4729 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4728 4730 numpy list.
4729 4731
4730 4732 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4731 4733
4732 4734 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4733 4735 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4734 4736 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4735 4737 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4736 4738
4737 4739 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4738 4740
4739 4741 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4740 4742 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4741 4743 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4742 4744 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4743 4745
4744 4746 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4745 4747 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4746 4748
4747 4749 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4748 4750
4749 4751 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4750 4752 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4751 4753 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4752 4754 Collins.
4753 4755
4754 4756 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4755 4757
4756 4758 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4757 4759
4758 4760 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4759 4761 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4760 4762 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4761 4763
4762 4764 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4763 4765
4764 4766 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4765 4767 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4766 4768 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4767 4769 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4768 4770
4769 4771 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4770 4772 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4771 4773 __getitem__ and __call__.
4772 4774
4773 4775 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4774 4776
4775 4777 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4776 4778
4777 4779 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4778 4780 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4779 4781 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4780 4782 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4781 4783
4782 4784 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4783 4785 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4784 4786 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4785 4787 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4786 4788 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4787 4789 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4788 4790 necessary.
4789 4791
4790 4792 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4791 4793 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4792 4794 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4793 4795
4794 4796 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4795 4797 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4796 4798 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4797 4799 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4798 4800
4799 4801 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4800 4802 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4801 4803 generators.
4802 4804
4803 4805 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4804 4806 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4805 4807 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4806 4808 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4807 4809 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4808 4810 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4809 4811 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4810 4812
4811 4813 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4812 4814 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4813 4815 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4814 4816 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4815 4817 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4816 4818
4817 4819 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4818 4820 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4819 4821 edit under some circumstances.
4820 4822 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4821 4823 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4822 4824 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4823 4825 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4824 4826 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4825 4827 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4826 4828 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4827 4829 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4828 4830 need more testing.
4829 4831
4830 4832 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4831 4833
4832 4834 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4833 4835 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4834 4836 and simpler code.
4835 4837
4836 4838 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4837 4839
4838 4840 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4839 4841 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4840 4842 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4841 4843 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4842 4844 even if they were contiguous.
4843 4845 (l1norm): Added this function.
4844 4846 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4845 4847 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4846 4848 and speed.
4847 4849
4848 4850 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4849 4851
4850 4852 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4851 4853 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4852 4854 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4853 4855
4854 4856 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4855 4857
4856 4858 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4857 4859 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4858 4860 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4859 4861
4860 4862 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4861 4863 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4862 4864 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4863 4865
4864 4866 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4865 4867
4866 4868 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4867 4869 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4868 4870 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4869 4871 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4870 4872 activity.
4871 4873
4872 4874 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4873 4875
4874 4876 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4875 4877 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4876 4878 Numeric.identity)
4877 4879
4878 4880 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4879 4881
4880 4882 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4881 4883 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4882 4884 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4883 4885
4884 4886 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4885 4887
4886 4888 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4887 4889 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4888 4890 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4889 4891 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4890 4892
4891 4893 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4892 4894 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4893 4895 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4894 4896 is implemented).
4895 4897
4896 4898 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4897 4899
4898 4900 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4899 4901 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4900 4902 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4901 4903
4902 4904 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4903 4905 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4904 4906 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4905 4907 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4906 4908 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4907 4909
4908 4910 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4909 4911
4910 4912 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4911 4913
4912 4914 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4913 4915 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4914 4916 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4915 4917
4916 4918 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4917 4919
4918 4920 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4919 4921 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4920 4922 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4921 4923
4922 4924 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4923 4925 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4924 4926 crash report from Prabhu.
4925 4927
4926 4928 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4927 4929
4928 4930 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4929 4931 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4930 4932 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4931 4933 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4932 4934 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4933 4935 also be useful in other cases.
4934 4936
4935 4937 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4936 4938 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4937 4939 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4938 4940
4939 4941 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4940 4942
4941 4943 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4942 4944
4943 4945 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4944 4946 installing for a new user under Windows.
4945 4947
4946 4948 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4947 4949
4948 4950 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4949 4951 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4950 4952 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4951 4953 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4952 4954 there.
4953 4955
4954 4956 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4955 4957 info to crash reports.
4956 4958
4957 4959 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4958 4960 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4959 4961 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4960 4962 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4961 4963
4962 4964 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4963 4965
4964 4966 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4965 4967 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4966 4968 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4967 4969 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4968 4970
4969 4971 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4970 4972
4971 4973 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4972 4974 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4973 4975
4974 4976 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4975 4977
4976 4978 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4977 4979 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4978 4980
4979 4981 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4980 4982
4981 4983 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4982 4984
4983 4985 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4984 4986 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4985 4987 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4986 4988
4987 4989 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4988 4990 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4989 4991 with the new auto-indent option.
4990 4992
4991 4993 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4992 4994
4993 4995 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4994 4996 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4995 4997 this class from the main Shell class.
4996 4998
4997 4999 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4998 5000 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4999 5001 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
5000 5002 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
5001 5003 option).
5002 5004
5003 5005 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
5004 5006 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
5005 5007 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
5006 5008 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
5007 5009 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
5008 5010
5009 5011 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
5010 5012 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
5011 5013 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5012 5014
5013 5015 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
5014 5016 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
5015 5017 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
5016 5018 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
5017 5019 tracebacks.
5018 5020
5019 5021 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
5020 5022 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
5021 5023 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
5022 5024
5023 5025 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5024 5026
5025 5027 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
5026 5028 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
5027 5029 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
5028 5030 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.

5030 5032 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5031 5033
5032 5034 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
5033 5035 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
5034 5036 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
5035 5037 for the bug report.
5036 5038
5037 5039 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5038 5040
5039 5041 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
5040 5042 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
5041 5043 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
5042 5044 report.
5043 5045
5044 5046 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5045 5047
5046 5048 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
5047 5049 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
5048 5050 end).
5049 5051
5050 5052 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
5051 5053 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
5052 5054 too often, or I would have heard about it.
5053 5055
5054 5056 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5055 5057
5056 5058 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
5057 5059 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
5058 5060 for the patch.
5059 5061
5060 5062 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5061 5063
5062 5064 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
5063 5065 functions.
5064 5066
5065 5067 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
5066 5068
5067 5069 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5068 5070
5069 5071 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
5070 5072 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
5071 5073 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
5072 5074 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
5073 5075 private fix.
5074 5076
5075 5077 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
5076 5078 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
5077 5079 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
5078 5080 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
5079 5081 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
5080 5082 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
5081 5083 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
5082 5084 fixed for this setup.
5083 5085
5084 5086 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
5085 5087 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
5086 5088
5087 5089 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
5088 5090
5089 5091 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5090 5092
5091 5093 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
5092 5094 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
5093 5095 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
5094 5096 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
5095 5097 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
5096 5098 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
5097 5099 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
5098 5100 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
5099 5101 annoying bug is finally fixed.
5100 5102
5101 5103 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
5102 5104 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
5103 5105 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
5104 5106
5105 5107 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
5106 5108
5107 5109 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5108 5110
5109 5111 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
5110 5112 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
5111 5113 pickle-related issue in @run).
5112 5114
5113 5115 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5114 5116
5115 5117 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
5116 5118 the autocall option at runtime.
5117 5119 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
5118 5120 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
5119 5121 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
5120 5122 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
5121 5123 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
5122 5124 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
5123 5125 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
5124 5126 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
5125 5127 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
5126 5128 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
5127 5129 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
5128 5130 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
5129 5131 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
5130 5132 pickles to save something sensible.
5131 5133
5132 5134 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
5133 5135
5134 5136 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
5135 5137 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
5136 5138 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
5137 5139
5138 5140 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5139 5141
5140 5142 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
5141 5143 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
5142 5144
5143 5145 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
5144 5146
5145 5147 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
5146 5148 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
5147 5149 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
5148 5150 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
5149 5151
5150 5152 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5151 5153
5152 5154 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
5153 5155 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
5154 5156 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
5155 5157 array is non-contiguous.
5156 5158
5157 5159 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5158 5160
5159 5161 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
5160 5162 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
5161 5163 executed).
5162 5164 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
5163 5165 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
5164 5166 output.
5165 5167 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
5166 5168 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
5167 5169 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
5168 5170 changing.
5169 5171
5170 5172 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
5171 5173
5172 5174 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5173 5175
5174 5176 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
5175 5177 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
5176 5178 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
5177 5179 are removed only at IPython's exit.
5178 5180 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
5179 5181 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
5180 5182 like a normal command-line.
5181 5183
5182 5184 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
5183 5185 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
5184 5186 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
5185 5187 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
5186 5188
5187 5189 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5188 5190
5189 5191 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
5190 5192 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
5191 5193 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
5192 5194 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
5193 5195
5194 5196 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5195 5197
5196 5198 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
5197 5199 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
5198 5200 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
5199 5201 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
5200 5202 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
5201 5203 think it's worth doing.
5202 5204
5203 5205 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
5204 5206
5205 5207 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5206 5208
5207 5209 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
5208 5210 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
5209 5211
5210 5212 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
5211 5213 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
5212 5214 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
5213 5215 also work ok.
5214 5216
5215 5217 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
5216 5218
5217 5219 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5218 5220
5219 5221 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
5220 5222
5221 5223 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
5222 5224 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
5223 5225 of gnuplot data files.
5224 5226
5225 5227 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5226 5228
5227 5229 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
5228 5230 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
5229 5231
5230 5232 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5231 5233
5232 5234 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
5233 5235 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
5234 5236 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
5235 5237 for pointing this out.
5236 5238
5237 5239 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5238 5240
5239 5241 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
5240 5242
5241 5243 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
5242 5244 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
5243 5245 Interactive.
5244 5246
5245 5247 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
5246 5248 being imported from iplib.
5247 5249
5248 5250 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
5249 5251 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
5250 5252 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
5251 5253 common name.
5252 5254
5253 5255 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
5254 5256 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
5255 5257
5256 5258 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
5257 5259 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
5258 5260
5259 5261 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
5260 5262 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
5261 5263 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
5262 5264 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
5263 5265 docstrings).
5264 5266
5265 5267 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5266 5268
5267 5269 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
5268 5270 (inconsistent with options).
5269 5271
5270 5272 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
5271 5273 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
5272 5274 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
5273 5275 eps output.
5274 5276
5275 5277 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5276 5278
5277 5279 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
5278 5280 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
5279 5281 Pinard.
5280 5282
5281 5283 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5282 5284
5283 5285 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
5284 5286 history file for new users.
5285 5287 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
5286 5288 user running in the .ipython dir.
5287 5289 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
5288 5290 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
5289 5291 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
5290 5292
5291 5293 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
5292 5294 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
5293 5295 consistently.
5294 5296
5295 5297 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
5296 5298 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
5297 5299 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
5298 5300 libraries I don't have access to.
5299 5301
5300 5302 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
5301 5303 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
5302 5304 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
5303 5305 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
5304 5306 report.
5305 5307
5306 5308 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5307 5309
5308 5310 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
5309 5311 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
5310 5312 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
5311 5313 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
5312 5314
5313 5315 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5314 5316
5315 5317 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
5316 5318 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
5317 5319 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
5318 5320 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
5319 5321 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
5320 5322 instance has been created.
5321 5323
5322 5324 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
5323 5325 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
5324 5326 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
5325 5327 dict by hand.
5326 5328
5327 5329 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5328 5330
5329 5331 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
5330 5332 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
5331 5333 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
5332 5334 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
5333 5335 broken.
5334 5336
5335 5337 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
5336 5338 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
5337 5339 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
5338 5340 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
5339 5341
5340 5342 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
5341 5343 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
5342 5344 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
5343 5345 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
5344 5346 is a valid one.
5345 5347
5346 5348 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
5347 5349 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
5348 5350 confirmation to have yes as the default.
5349 5351
5350 5352 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
5351 5353 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
5352 5354 simply leftover junk.
5353 5355
5354 5356 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5355 5357
5356 5358 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
5357 5359 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
5358 5360 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
5359 5361
5360 5362 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
5361 5363 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
5362 5364 exceptions.
5363 5365
5364 5366 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5365 5367
5366 5368 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
5367 5369 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
5368 5370 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
5369 5371 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
5370 5372 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
5371 5373
5372 5374 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
5373 5375 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
5374 5376
5375 5377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
5376 5378 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
5377 5379 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
5378 5380 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
5379 5381 problem mentioned below.
5380 5382
5381 5383 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5382 5384
5383 5385 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
5384 5386 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
5385 5387
5386 5388 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
5387 5389 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
5388 5390 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
5389 5391 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
5390 5392 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
5391 5393
5392 5394 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
5393 5395 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
5394 5396 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
5395 5397 actual function names.
5396 5398
5397 5399 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
5398 5400 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
5399 5401 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
5400 5402 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
5401 5403 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
5402 5404 really be only function/method names.

5404 5406 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5405 5407
5406 5408 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
5407 5409 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
5408 5410 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
5409 5411
5410 5412 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5411 5413
5412 5414 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
5413 5415 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
5414 5416 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
5415 5417
5416 5418 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
5417 5419 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5418 5420
5419 5421 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
5420 5422 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
5421 5423 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
5422 5424
5423 5425 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
5424 5426 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
5425 5427 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
5426 5428
5427 5429 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
5428 5430 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
5429 5431 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
5430 5432
5431 5433 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5432 5434
5433 5435 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
5434 5436 Gnuplot.File objects.
5435 5437
5436 5438 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5437 5439
5438 5440 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
5439 5441 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
5440 5442 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
5441 5443
5442 5444 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5443 5445
5444 5446 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
5445 5447 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
5446 5448
5447 5449 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
5448 5450 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
5449 5451
5450 5452 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
5451 5453 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
5452 5454
5453 5455 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5454 5456
5455 5457 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
5456 5458 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
5457 5459 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
5458 5460 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
5459 5461
5460 5462 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5461 5463
5462 5464 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
5463 5465 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
5464 5466 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
5465 5467
5466 5468 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5467 5469
5468 5470 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
5469 5471 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
5470 5472 workaround).
5471 5473
5472 5474 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5473 5475
5474 5476 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
5475 5477 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
5476 5478
5477 5479 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5478 5480
5479 5481 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
5480 5482 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
5481 5483
5482 5484 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
5483 5485 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
5484 5486 .strip() is called on it.
5485 5487
5486 5488
5487 5489 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5488 5490
5489 5491 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
5490 5492 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
5491 5493 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
5492 5494
5493 5495 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
5494 5496 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
5495 5497
5496 5498 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
5497 5499 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
5498 5500 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
5499 5501
5500 5502 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5501 5503
5502 5504 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
5503 5505 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
5504 5506 __main__.
5505 5507
5506 5508 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
5507 5509 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
5508 5510
5509 5511 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
5510 5512 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
5511 5513 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
5512 5514 Mathematica behaves.
5513 5515
5514 5516 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5515 5517
5516 5518 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
5517 5519 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
5518 5520
5519 5521 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
5520 5522 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
5521 5523 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
5522 5524
5523 5525 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
5524 5526 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
5525 5527
5526 5528 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5527 5529
5528 5530 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
5529 5531 underflow problems in Numeric.
5530 5532 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
5531 5533 for exact integer powers of 2.
5532 5534
5533 5535 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
5534 5536 properly.
5535 5537
5536 5538 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5537 5539
5538 5540 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
5539 5541 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
5540 5542
5541 5543 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5542 5544
5543 5545 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
5544 5546 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
5545 5547
5546 5548 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5547 5549
5548 5550 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
5549 5551 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
5550 5552 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
5551 5553 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
5552 5554 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
5553 5555 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
5554 5556 times).
5555 5557
5556 5558 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
5557 5559 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
5558 5560 been redirected by user this gets honored.
5559 5561
5560 5562 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5561 5563
5562 5564 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
5563 5565 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5564 5566 embedded code.
5565 5567
5566 5568 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5567 5569 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5568 5570 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5569 5571
5570 5572 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5571 5573 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5572 5574 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5573 5575 less special-casing to remember.
5574 5576
5575 5577 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5576 5578
5577 5579 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5578 5580 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5579 5581 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5580 5582 arg is not a defined object.
5581 5583 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5582 5584 a Mike Heeter idea.
5583 5585
5584 5586 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5585 5587 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5586 5588 interactive use.
5587 5589
5588 5590 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5589 5591 filenames.
5590 5592
5591 5593 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5592 5594
5593 5595 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5594 5596 initialization via another struct.
5595 5597
5596 5598 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5597 5599 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5598 5600
5599 5601 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5600 5602
5601 5603 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5602 5604 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5603 5605 too big).
5604 5606
5605 5607 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5606 5608
5607 5609 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5608 5610 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5609 5611 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5610 5612 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5611 5613
5612 5614 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5613 5615
5614 5616 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5615 5617 macros having broken.
5616 5618
5617 5619 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5618 5620
5619 5621 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5620 5622 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5621 5623 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5622 5624 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5623 5625 not to lists.
5624 5626
5625 5627 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5626 5628
5627 5629 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5628 5630 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5629 5631 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5630 5632
5631 5633 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5632 5634 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5633 5635
5634 5636 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5635 5637 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5636 5638 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5637 5639
5638 5640 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5639 5641 triple-quoted strings.
5640 5642
5641 5643 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5642 5644 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5643 5645 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5644 5646 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5645 5647 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5646 5648 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5647 5649
5648 5650 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5649 5651
5650 5652 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5651 5653 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5652 5654 ultraTB).
5653 5655
5654 5656 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5655 5657
5656 5658 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5657 5659 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5658 5660 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5659 5661 user's 'g' variables).
5660 5662
5661 5663 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5662 5664 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5663 5665 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5664 5666 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5665 5667 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5666 5668 macros.
5667 5669
5668 5670 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5669 5671
5670 5672 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5671 5673 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5672 5674
5673 5675 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5674 5676 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5675 5677 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5676 5678
5677 5679 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5678 5680
5679 5681 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5680 5682 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5681 5683 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5682 5684 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5683 5685 aliases.
5684 5686
5685 5687 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5686 5688
5687 5689 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5688 5690 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5689 5691 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5690 5692 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5691 5693
5692 5694 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5693 5695
5694 5696 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5695 5697 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5696 5698 user-defined functions overrode them.
5697 5699
5698 5700 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5699 5701
5700 5702 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5701 5703 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5702 5704
5703 5705 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5704 5706
5705 5707 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5706 5708 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5707 5709 IPython.
5708 5710
5709 5711 * Released 0.2.13
5710 5712
5711 5713 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5712 5714 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5713 5715 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5714 5716 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5715 5717
5716 5718 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5717 5719
5718 5720 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5719 5721 magic properly formatted for screen.
5720 5722
5721 5723 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5722 5724 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5723 5725
5724 5726 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5725 5727 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5726 5728 etc.)
5727 5729
5728 5730 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5729 5731
5730 5732 * Released 0.2.12
5731 5733
5732 5734 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5733 5735
5734 5736 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5735 5737 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5736 5738 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5737 5739 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5738 5740 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5739 5741 an alias to @run -i.
5740 5742
5741 5743 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5742 5744 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5743 5745
5744 5746 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5745 5747
5746 5748 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5747 5749 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5748 5750 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5749 5751
5750 5752 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5751 5753 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5752 5754 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5753 5755 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5754 5756 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5755 5757 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5756 5758 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5757 5759
5758 5760 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5759 5761
5760 5762 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5761 5763 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5762 5764 printed).
5763 5765
5764 5766 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5765 5767 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5766 5768 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5767 5769
5768 5770 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5769 5771 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5770 5772
5771 5773 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5772 5774 handle magic commands in them.
5773 5775 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5774 5776 ~/mylog' now works.
5775 5777
5776 5778 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5777 5779 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5778 5780
5779 5781 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5780 5782
5781 5783 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5782 5784 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5783 5785
5784 5786 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5785 5787 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5786 5788 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5787 5789 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5788 5790 variables are in the context of an exception.
5789 5791 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5790 5792 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5791 5793
5792 5794 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5793 5795 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5794 5796
5795 5797 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5796 5798
5797 5799 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5798 5800 magics can parse options easier.
5799 5801 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5800 5802 suggested by Chris Hart.
5801 5803 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5802 5804 directory actually is in history.
5803 5805
5804 5806 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5805 5807 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5806 5808 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5807 5809
5808 5810 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5809 5811 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5810 5812 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5811 5813 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5812 5814
5813 5815 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5814 5816
5815 5817 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5816 5818 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5817 5819
5818 5820 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5819 5821 text (was a bug).
5820 5822
5821 5823 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5822 5824
5823 5825 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5824 5826 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5825 5827 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5826 5828
5827 5829 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5828 5830
5829 5831 * Released 0.2.10
5830 5832
5831 5833 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5832 5834
5833 5835 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5834 5836 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5835 5837
5836 5838 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5837 5839
5838 5840 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5839 5841 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5840 5842
5841 5843 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5842 5844
5843 5845 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5844 5846 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5845 5847 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5846 5848 __init__.py)
5847 5849
5848 5850 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5849 5851
5850 5852 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5851 5853 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5852 5854 test for being inside IPython.
5853 5855
5854 5856 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5855 5857 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5856 5858 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5857 5859 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5858 5860
5859 5861 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5860 5862
5861 5863 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5862 5864 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5863 5865 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5864 5866
5865 5867 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5866 5868 embedding example to standard user directory for
5867 5869 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5868 5870
5869 5871 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5870 5872 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5871 5873 hidden global).
5872 5874
5873 5875 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5874 5876 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5875 5877 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5876 5878 case.
5877 5879
5878 5880 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5879 5881
5880 5882 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5881 5883 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5882 5884 start.
5883 5885
5884 5886 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5885 5887 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5886 5888 Numeric or math.
5887 5889
5888 5890 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5889 5891 provided profiles. Now we have:
5890 5892 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5891 5893 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5892 5894 -physics -> same as before
5893 5895
5894 5896 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5895 5897 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5896 5898 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5897 5899 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5898 5900 string adds).
5899 5901
5900 5902 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5901 5903 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5902 5904 line with the gnuplot code).
5903 5905
5904 5906 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5905 5907
5906 5908 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5907 5909 all included files change.
5908 5910
5909 5911 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5910 5912 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5911 5913
5912 5914 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5913 5915 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5914 5916 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5915 5917
5916 5918 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5917 5919 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5918 5920
5919 5921 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5920 5922 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5921 5923
5922 5924 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5923 5925 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5924 5926 now accessible.
5925 5927
5926 5928 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5927 5929 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5928 5930 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5929 5931 removed.
5930 5932 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5931 5933 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5932 5934 don't crash.
5933 5935 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5934 5936 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5935 5937 remains available.
5936 5938
5937 5939 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5938 5940
5939 5941 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5940 5942
5941 5943 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5942 5944
5943 5945 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5944 5946 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5945 5947 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5946 5948 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5947 5949
5948 5950 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5949 5951
5950 5952 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5951 5953 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5952 5954 sync with the output counter.
5953 5955
5954 5956 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5955 5957 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5956 5958
5957 5959 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5958 5960
5959 5961 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5960 5962 readline, fix it back after each call.
5961 5963
5962 5964 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5963 5965 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5964 5966 traceback references are properly deleted.
5965 5967
5966 5968 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5967 5969 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5968 5970
5969 5971 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5970 5972
5971 5973 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5972 5974 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5973 5975 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5974 5976 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5975 5977 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5976 5978 to catch SystemExit).
5977 5979
5978 5980 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5979 5981 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5980 5982 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5981 5983 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5982 5984 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5983 5985 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5984 5986
5985 5987 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5986 5988
5987 5989 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5988 5990 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5989 5991 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5990 5992
5991 5993 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5992 5994 configurable (it should have always been so).
5993 5995
5994 5996 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5995 5997
5996 5998 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5997 5999 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5998 6000 done in a more elegant way.
5999 6001
6000 6002 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6001 6003
6002 6004 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
6003 6005 win9x also.
6004 6006
6005 6007 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6006 6008
6007 6009 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
6008 6010 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
6009 6011
6010 6012 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6011 6013
6012 6014 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
6013 6015
6014 6016 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
6015 6017 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
6016 6018
6017 6019 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
6018 6020 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
6019 6021
6020 6022 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
6021 6023 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
6022 6024
6023 6025 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
6024 6026 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
6025 6027
6026 6028 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6027 6029
6028 6030 * Released 0.2.8
6029 6031
6030 6032 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
6031 6033 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
6032 6034 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
6033 6035 on' so that the first tab completes.
6034 6036 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
6035 6037 quotes breaking many magic commands.
6036 6038
6037 6039 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
6038 6040 installation.
6039 6041
6040 6042 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
6041 6043 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
6042 6044
6043 6045 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6044 6046
6045 6047 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
6046 6048 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
6047 6049 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
6048 6050
6049 6051 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
6050 6052 setting __name__=='__main__'.
6051 6053
6052 6054 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
6053 6055 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
6054 6056 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
6055 6057 suggestion.
6056 6058
6057 6059 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
6058 6060 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
6059 6061 Baecker for pointing this to me.
6060 6062
6061 6063 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
6062 6064 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
6063 6065
6064 6066 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6065 6067
6066 6068 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
6067 6069 which properly handles things for windows users.
6068 6070
6069 6071 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6070 6072
6071 6073 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
6072 6074 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
6073 6075 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
6074 6076 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
6075 6077 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
6076 6078
6077 6079 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
6078 6080
6079 6081 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6080 6082
6081 6083 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
6082 6084 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
6083 6085
6084 6086 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6085 6087
6086 6088 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
6087 6089 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
6088 6090 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
6089 6091 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
6090 6092 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
6091 6093 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
6092 6094
6093 6095 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6094 6096
6095 6097 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
6096 6098 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
6097 6099
6098 6100 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
6099 6101 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
6100 6102 cache at 20 values.
6101 6103
6102 6104 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
6103 6105 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
6104 6106 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
6105 6107 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
6106 6108
6107 6109 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
6108 6110 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
6109 6111 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
6110 6112 'file show').
6111 6113
6112 6114 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
6113 6115 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
6114 6116
6115 6117 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
6116 6118 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
6117 6119 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
6118 6120
6119 6121 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
6120 6122 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
6121 6123 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
6122 6124 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
6123 6125
6124 6126 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
6125 6127 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
6126 6128 the prompt strings.
6127 6129
6128 6130 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6129 6131
6130 6132 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
6131 6133 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
6132 6134
6133 6135 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
6134 6136 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
6135 6137 either globally or at each call.
6136 6138
6137 6139 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
6138 6140 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
6139 6141 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
6140 6142 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
6141 6143
6142 6144 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6143 6145
6144 6146 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
6145 6147 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
6146 6148
6147 6149 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
6148 6150
6149 6151 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
6150 6152 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
6151 6153 learning some lisp...
6152 6154
6153 6155 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6154 6156
6155 6157 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
6156 6158 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
6157 6159 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
6158 6160 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
6159 6161
6160 6162 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
6161 6163 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
6162 6164 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
6163 6165
6164 6166 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6165 6167
6166 6168 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
6167 6169 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
6168 6170 control to emacs users.
6169 6171
6170 6172 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
6171 6173 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
6172 6174 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
6173 6175 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
6174 6176 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
6175 6177 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
6176 6178
6177 6179 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6178 6180
6179 6181 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
6180 6182
6181 6183 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
6182 6184 @logstate magic was created.
6183 6185
6184 6186 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
6185 6187 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
6186 6188
6187 6189 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6188 6190
6189 6191 * Released 0.2.6.
6190 6192
6191 6193 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
6192 6194 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
6193 6195
6194 6196 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
6195 6197 SciPy.
6196 6198
6197 6199 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
6198 6200 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
6199 6201 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
6200 6202 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
6201 6203 the section on embedding and the example file.
6202 6204
6203 6205 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
6204 6206 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
6205 6207 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
6206 6208
6207 6209 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
6208 6210 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
6209 6211 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
6210 6212
6211 6213 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
6212 6214 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
6213 6215 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
6214 6216 for this to work.
6215 6217
6216 6218 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6217 6219
6218 6220 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
6219 6221 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
6220 6222 well inside Emacs buffers.
6221 6223 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
6222 6224 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
6223 6225 same bug in iplib.
6224 6226
6225 6227 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6226 6228
6227 6229 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
6228 6230 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
6229 6231
6230 6232 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
6231 6233 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
6232 6234 and keeps PyChecker happy).
6233 6235
6234 6236 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
6235 6237 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
6236 6238 display is done.
6237 6239
6238 6240 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
6239 6241 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
6240 6242
6241 6243 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
6242 6244 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
6243 6245 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
6244 6246 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
6245 6247 like in Octave.
6246 6248
6247 6249 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
6248 6250 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
6249 6251
6250 6252 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6251 6253
6252 6254 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
6253 6255 whole file a little.
6254 6256
6255 6257 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
6256 6258 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
6257 6259 end-user distro.
6258 6260
6259 6261 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
6260 6262 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
6261 6263 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
6262 6264
6263 6265 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
6264 6266 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
6265 6267
6266 6268 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
6267 6269 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
6268 6270 for @file.
6269 6271
6270 6272 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
6271 6273 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
6272 6274 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
6273 6275 the code a bit easier.
6274 6276
6275 6277 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
6276 6278 information to crash reports.
6277 6279
6278 6280 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6279 6281
6280 6282 * Released 0.2.5.
6281 6283
6282 6284 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6283 6285
6284 6286 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
6285 6287 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
6286 6288 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
6287 6289
6288 6290 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6289 6291
6290 6292 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
6291 6293 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
6292 6294 have thigs work as expected.
6293 6295
6294 6296 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
6295 6297 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
6296 6298 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
6297 6299 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
6298 6300 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
6299 6301
6300 6302 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
6301 6303 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
6302 6304
6303 6305 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6304 6306
6305 6307 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
6306 6308 user config files with os-native line-endings.
6307 6309
6308 6310 * README and manual updates.
6309 6311
6310 6312 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
6311 6313 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
6312 6314
6313 6315 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
6314 6316 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
6315 6317
6316 6318 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
6317 6319 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
6318 6320 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
6319 6321 extension-less files.
6320 6322
6321 6323 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
6322 6324 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
6323 6325 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
6324 6326
6325 6327 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
6326 6328 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
6327 6329
6328 6330 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
6329 6331 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
6330 6332 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
6331 6333 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
6332 6334 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
6333 6335 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
6334 6336 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
6335 6337 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
6336 6338 least make manually a shortcut.
6337 6339
6338 6340 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
6339 6341 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
6340 6342 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
6341 6343 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
6342 6344 runtime, with @colors.
6343 6345 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
6344 6346 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
6345 6347
6346 6348 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6347 6349
6348 6350 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
6349 6351 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
6350 6352 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
6351 6353 read the startup info.
6352 6354
6353 6355 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6354 6356
6355 6357 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
6356 6358 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
6357 6359 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
6358 6360 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
6359 6361 type the better off we are.
6360 6362 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
6361 6363 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
6362 6364 before.
6363 6365
6364 6366 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6365 6367
6366 6368 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
6367 6369 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
6368 6370 this later.
6369 6371
6370 6372 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6371 6373
6372 6374 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
6373 6375 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
6374 6376 (they can be triggered by imported code).
6375 6377
6376 6378 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6377 6379
6378 6380 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
6379 6381 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
6380 6382 spitting out only offset information as before.
6381 6383 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
6382 6384 programs with command line args inside IPython.
6383 6385
6384 6386 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6385 6387
6386 6388 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
6387 6389 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
6388 6390 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
6389 6391 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
6390 6392 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
6391 6393 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
6392 6394 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
6393 6395 macros.
6394 6396
6395 6397 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6396 6398
6397 6399 * Released 0.2.4.
6398 6400
6399 6401 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
6400 6402 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
6401 6403 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
6402 6404 re-execution.
6403 6405
6404 6406 * Updated manual with recent changes.
6405 6407
6406 6408 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
6407 6409 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
6408 6410 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
6409 6411 documented, of course :)
6410 6412 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
6411 6413 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
6412 6414 __call__ info for callable object instances.
6413 6415
6414 6416 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6415 6417
6416 6418 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
6417 6419 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
6418 6420 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
6419 6421
6420 6422 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6421 6423
6422 6424 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
6423 6425 so I wanted an updated release).
6424 6426
6425 6427 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6426 6428
6427 6429 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
6428 6430 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
6429 6431 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
6430 6432 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
6431 6433 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
6432 6434
6433 6435 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6434 6436
6435 6437 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
6436 6438 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
6437 6439
6438 6440 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6439 6441
6440 6442 * Released 0.2.2.
6441 6443
6442 6444 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
6443 6445 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
6444 6446 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
6445 6447 versions.
6446 6448
6447 6449 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
6448 6450 (MayaVi author).
6449 6451
6450 6452 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6451 6453
6452 6454 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
6453 6455 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
6454 6456 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
6455 6457 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
6456 6458 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
6457 6459
6458 6460 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
6459 6461 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
6460 6462
6461 6463 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6462 6464
6463 6465 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
6464 6466 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
6465 6467 nice, full-blown manual.
6466 6468
6467 6469 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
6468 6470 trivially simple for end-users.
6469 6471
6470 6472 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6471 6473
6472 6474 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
6473 6475 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
6474 6476
6475 6477 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
6476 6478 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
6477 6479
6478 6480 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6479 6481
6480 6482 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
6481 6483 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
6482 6484 people to later upgrade versions.
6483 6485
6484 6486 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
6485 6487 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
6486 6488 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
6487 6489 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
6488 6490 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
6489 6491 SystemExit).
6490 6492
6491 6493 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
6492 6494 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
6493 6495 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
6494 6496 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
6495 6497 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
6496 6498
6497 6499 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
6498 6500 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
6499 6501 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
6500 6502
6501 6503 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6502 6504
6503 6505 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
6504 6506 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
6505 6507
6506 6508 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
6507 6509 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
6508 6510 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
6509 6511 html docs out of it will be found).
6510 6512
6511 6513 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
6512 6514
6513 6515 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
6514 6516 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
6515 6517
6516 6518 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
6517 6519
6518 6520 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
6519 6521 visiting any directory in _dh.
6520 6522
6521 6523 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
6522 6524 it out with numbers.
6523 6525
6524 6526 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6525 6527
6526 6528 * Released 0.1.22
6527 6529
6528 6530 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
6529 6531 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
6530 6532
6531 6533 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
6532 6534 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
6533 6535 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
6534 6536 screen the necessary mail command.
6535 6537
6536 6538 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
6537 6539 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
6538 6540 guess we should at least give them something readable.
6539 6541
6540 6542 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6541 6543
6542 6544 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
6543 6545 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
6544 6546 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
6545 6547 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
6546 6548 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
6547 6549 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
6548 6550 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
6549 6551 its name).
6550 6552
6551 6553 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
6552 6554 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
6553 6555 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
6554 6556 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
6555 6557
6556 6558 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6557 6559
6558 6560 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
6559 6561 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
6560 6562
6561 6563 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
6562 6564 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
6563 6565
6564 6566 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6565 6567 completion of @-starting lines.
6566 6568
6567 6569 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6568 6570 info that other files can read from.
6569 6571
6570 6572 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6571 6573 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6572 6574 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6573 6575 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6574 6576 restores produce less errors.
6575 6577
6576 6578 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6577 6579 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6578 6580 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6579 6581 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6580 6582 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6581 6583
6582 6584 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6583 6585 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6584 6586 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6585 6587 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6586 6588 with this, finally...
6587 6589
6588 6590 * Small documentation updates.
6589 6591
6590 6592 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6591 6593 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6592 6594 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6593 6595
6594 6596 * File renaming:
6595 6597 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6596 6598 ipplib --> iplib
6597 6599 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6598 6600
6599 6601 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6600 6602 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6601 6603 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6602 6604
6603 6605 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6604 6606 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6605 6607 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6606 6608
6607 6609 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6608 6610
6609 6611 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6610 6612 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6611 6613 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6612 6614 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6613 6615
6614 6616 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6615 6617 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6616 6618 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6617 6619
6618 6620 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6619 6621 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6620 6622 road.
6621 6623
6622 6624 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6623 6625 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6624 6626 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6625 6627 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6626 6628
6627 6629 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6628 6630
6629 6631 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6630 6632 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6631 6633 file accordingly.
6632 6634
6633 6635 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6634 6636 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6635 6637 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6636 6638 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6637 6639 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6638 6640 separators and proper padding and justification.
6639 6641
6640 6642 * Released 0.1.20
6641 6643
6642 6644 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6643 6645 copy operation was missing).
6644 6646
6645 6647 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6646 6648 its output is always quite long.
6647 6649
6648 6650 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6649 6651 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6650 6652 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6651 6653 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6652 6654
6653 6655 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6654 6656 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6655 6657 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6656 6658 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6657 6659
6658 6660 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6659 6661
6660 6662 * Released 0.1.19
6661 6663
6662 6664 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6663 6665 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6664 6666
6665 6667 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6666 6668 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6667 6669 comment on 'macros').
6668 6670
6669 6671 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6670 6672
6671 6673 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6672 6674 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6673 6675 statements and takes parameters.
6674 6676
6675 6677 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6676 6678
6677 6679 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6678 6680
6679 6681 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6680 6682
6681 6683 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6682 6684 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6683 6685
6684 6686 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6685 6687 ipythonrc-* samples.
6686 6688
6687 6689 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6688 6690 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6689 6691
6690 6692 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6691 6693 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6692 6694
6693 6695 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6694 6696
6695 6697 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6696 6698 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6697 6699 convention.
6698 6700
6699 6701 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6700 6702 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6701 6703
6702 6704 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6703 6705
6704 6706 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6705 6707 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6706 6708
6707 6709 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6708 6710 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6709 6711 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6710 6712 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6711 6713 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6712 6714 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6713 6715 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6714 6716 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6715 6717 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6716 6718 works.
6717 6719
6718 6720 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6719 6721
6720 6722 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6721 6723 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6722 6724 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6723 6725 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6724 6726 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6725 6727 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6726 6728 all the editors, less does that.
6727 6729
6728 6730 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6729 6731
6730 6732 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6731 6733 crash IPython.
6732 6734
6733 6735 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6734 6736
6735 6737 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6736 6738
6737 6739 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6738 6740 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6739 6741 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6740 6742 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6741 6743 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6742 6744 work in _ofind.
6743 6745
6744 6746 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6745 6747 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6746 6748 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6747 6749 (famous last words).
6748 6750
6749 6751 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6750 6752 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6751 6753 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6752 6754 windows).
6753 6755
6754 6756 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6755 6757 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6756 6758
6757 6759 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6758 6760 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6759 6761 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6760 6762 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6761 6763
6762 6764 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6763 6765 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6764 6766 licences and announce it.
6765 6767
6766 6768 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6767 6769 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6768 6770 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6769 6771 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6770 6772
6771 6773 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6772 6774
6773 6775 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6774 6776 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6775 6777 lists.
6776 6778
6777 6779 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6778 6780 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6779 6781 are ok.
6780 6782
6781 6783 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6782 6784 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6783 6785
6784 6786 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6785 6787 this to Nathan.
6786 6788
6787 6789 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6788 6790
6789 6791 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6790 6792 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6791 6793 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6792 6794
6793 6795 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6794 6796 accepted). Cleaner.
6795 6797
6796 6798 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6797 6799 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6798 6800 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6799 6801 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6800 6802 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6801 6803
6802 6804 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6803 6805
6804 6806 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6805 6807 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6806 6808 history after a log replay.
6807 6809
6808 6810 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6809 6811 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6810 6812 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6811 6813 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6812 6814 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6813 6815 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6814 6816
6815 6817 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6816 6818 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6817 6819 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6818 6820 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6819 6821 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6820 6822
6821 6823 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6822 6824
6823 6825 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6824 6826 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6825 6827 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6826 6828 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6827 6829 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6828 6830 one: cache_size.
6829 6831
6830 6832 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6831 6833 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6832 6834 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6833 6835 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6834 6836
6835 6837 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6836 6838 @ or not).
6837 6839
6838 6840 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6839 6841 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6840 6842 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6841 6843 about licensing).
6842 6844
6843 6845 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6844 6846
6845 6847 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6846 6848 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6847 6849
6848 6850 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6849 6851 screen size for page() operations.
6850 6852
6851 6853 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6852 6854 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6853 6855 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6854 6856 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6855 6857
6856 6858 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6857 6859 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6858 6860 option name tables are clearer.
6859 6861
6860 6862 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6861 6863 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6862 6864 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6863 6865 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6864 6866 was also changed a little to align better.
6865 6867
6866 6868 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6867 6869 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6868 6870
6869 6871 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6870 6872 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6871 6873 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6872 6874
6873 6875 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6874 6876 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6875 6877 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6876 6878 he needs it.
6877 6879
6878 6880 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6879 6881
6880 6882 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6881 6883 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6882 6884 warning on it.
6883 6885
6884 6886 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6885 6887 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6886 6888 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6887 6889 was too long).
6888 6890
6889 6891 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6890 6892 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6891 6893 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6892 6894
6893 6895 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6894 6896 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6895 6897 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6896 6898 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6897 6899 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6898 6900 function for the same task.
6899 6901
6900 6902 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6901 6903
6902 6904 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6903 6905
6904 6906 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6905 6907 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6906 6908 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6907 6909
6908 6910 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6909 6911 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6910 6912 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6911 6913
6912 6914 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6913 6915 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6914 6916 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6915 6917
6916 6918 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6917 6919
6918 6920 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6919 6921
6920 6922 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6921 6923 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6922 6924 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6923 6925
6924 6926 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6925 6927
6926 6928 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6927 6929
6928 6930 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6929 6931
6930 6932 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6931 6933 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6932 6934 maintain.
6933 6935
6934 6936 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6935 6937 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6936 6938 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6937 6939 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6938 6940 compiled and startup is much faster.
6939 6941
6940 6942 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6941 6943 while without messing too much more with the code.
6942 6944
6943 6945 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6944 6946
6945 6947 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6946 6948
6947 6949 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6948 6950 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6949 6951 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6950 6952
6951 6953 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6952 6954 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6953 6955
6954 6956 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6955 6957 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6956 6958 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6957 6959 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6958 6960 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6959 6961 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6960 6962
6961 6963 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6962 6964 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6963 6965
6964 6966 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6965 6967 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6966 6968
6967 6969 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6968 6970 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6969 6971 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6970 6972 excessive.
6971 6973
6972 6974 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6973 6975 types (only first word was displayed).
6974 6976
6975 6977 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6976 6978
6977 6979 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6978 6980
6979 6981 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6980 6982 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6981 6983 travel along many directories.
6982 6984
6983 6985 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6984 6986 arguments with default values.
6985 6987
6986 6988 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6987 6989
6988 6990 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6989 6991 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6990 6992
6991 6993 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6992 6994
6993 6995 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6994 6996 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6995 6997 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6996 6998
6997 6999 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6998 7000
6999 7001 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
7000 7002 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
7001 7003 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
7002 7004 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
7003 7005 from the outside and implement extensions for special
7004 7006 purposes.
7005 7007
7006 7008 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
7007 7009 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
7008 7010 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
7009 7011 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
7010 7012 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
7011 7013 one can simply say
7012 7014 a = 4.2 m/s**2
7013 7015 or even
7014 7016 a = 4.2 m/s^2
7015 7017
7016 7018 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
7017 7019 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
7018 7020 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
7019 7021
7020 7022 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
7021 7023 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
7022 7024 they were defined in
7023 7025
7024 7026 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
7025 7027
7026 7028 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
7027 7029 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
7028 7030 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
7029 7031 these to show the same information.
7030 7032
7031 7033 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
7032 7034
7033 7035 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
7034 7036 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
7035 7037 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
7036 7038 backtracked on the whole class!)
7037 7039
7038 7040 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
7039 7041 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
7040 7042 everything works as before).
7041 7043
7042 7044 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
7043 7045 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
7044 7046 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
7045 7047 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
7046 7048
7047 7049 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7048 7050
7049 7051 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
7050 7052
7051 7053 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
7052 7054 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
7053 7055
7054 7056 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
7055 7057 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
7056 7058 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
7057 7059 this later.
7058 7060
7059 7061 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
7060 7062
7061 7063 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
7062 7064 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
7063 7065 line option.
7064 7066
7065 7067 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
7066 7068 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
7067 7069 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
7068 7070 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
7069 7071 didn't return a result).
7070 7072
7071 7073 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
7072 7074
7073 7075 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
7074 7076
7075 7077 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
7076 7078 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
7077 7079 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
7078 7080 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
7079 7081
7080 7082 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7081 7083
7082 7084 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
7083 7085
7084 7086 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
7085 7087 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
7086 7088
7087 7089 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
7088 7090 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
7089 7091 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
7090 7092 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
7091 7093 in with the next entry:
7092 7094
7093 7095 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
7094 7096 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
7095 7097 handling.
7096 7098
7097 7099 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
7098 7100 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
7099 7101 namespace protection and documentation.
7100 7102
7101 7103 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7102 7104
7103 7105 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
7104 7106 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
7105 7107
7106 7108 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
7107 7109
7108 7110 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7109 7111
7110 7112 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
7111 7113
7112 7114 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
7113 7115 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
7114 7116 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
7115 7117 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
7116 7118 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
7117 7119
7118 7120 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
7119 7121 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
7120 7122 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
7121 7123
7122 7124 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
7123 7125
7124 7126 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
7125 7127 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
7126 7128
7127 7129 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7128 7130
7129 7131 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
7130 7132
7131 7133 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
7132 7134 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
7133 7135 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
7134 7136 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
7135 7137 ScientificPython.
7136 7138
7137 7139 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7138 7140
7139 7141 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
7140 7142 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
7141 7143 when called with no args.
7142 7144
7143 7145 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
7144 7146 closely.
7145 7147
7146 7148 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
7147 7149 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
7148 7150 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
7149 7151 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
7150 7152 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
7151 7153
7152 7154 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7153 7155
7154 7156 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
7155 7157 customizations there and access them via import.
7156 7158
7157 7159 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7158 7160
7159 7161 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
7160 7162
7161 7163 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
7162 7164 Nathan and Janko.
7163 7165
7164 7166 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
7165 7167
7166 7168 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
7167 7169 too long.
7168 7170
7169 7171 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
7170 7172
7171 7173 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
7172 7174 ?sin and sin?
7173 7175 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
7174 7176 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
7175 7177 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
7176 7178 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
7177 7179
7178 7180 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7179 7181
7180 7182 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
7181 7183
7182 7184 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
7183 7185 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
7184 7186
7185 7187 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
7186 7188 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
7187 7189 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
7188 7190 me).
7189 7191
7190 7192 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
7191 7193 protected (reasonably).
7192 7194
7193 7195 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
7194 7196 note through it (it was too long).
7195 7197
7196 7198 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
7197 7199 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
7198 7200 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
7199 7201 parameters.
7200 7202
7201 7203
7202 7204 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7203 7205
7204 7206 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
7205 7207 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
7206 7208 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
7207 7209
7208 7210 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
7209 7211 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
7210 7212 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
7211 7213
7212 7214 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
7213 7215
7214 7216 Changes to InteractiveShell:
7215 7217
7216 7218 - Made the usage message a parameter.
7217 7219
7218 7220 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
7219 7221 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
7220 7222 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
7221 7223 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
7222 7224 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
7223 7225 break.
7224 7226
7225 7227 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
7226 7228 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
7227 7229 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
7228 7230 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
7229 7231 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
7230 7232 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
7231 7233
7232 7234 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
7233 7235 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
7234 7236 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
7235 7237 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
7236 7238 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
7237 7239 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
7238 7240 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
7239 7241 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
7240 7242 trick.
7241 7243
7242 7244 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
7243 7245 session restoring.
7244 7246
7245 7247 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
7246 7248 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
7247 7249 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
7248 7250 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
7249 7251 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
