13 | 13 | Using different kernels |
|
14 | 14 | ----------------------- |
|

|
19 | 19 | |
|
20 | 20 | You can now choose a kernel for a notebook within the user interface, rather |
|
21 | 21 | than starting up a separate notebook server for each kernel you want to use. The |
|
22 | 22 | syntax highlighting adapts to match the language you're working in. |
|
23 | 23 | |
|
24 | 24 | Information about the kernel is stored in the notebook file, so when you open a |
|
25 | 25 | notebook, it will automatically start the correct kernel. |
|
26 | 26 | |
|
27 | 27 | It is also easier to use the Qt console and the terminal console with other |
|
28 | 28 | kernels, using the --kernel flag:: |
|
29 | 29 | |
|
30 | 30 | ipython qtconsole --kernel bash |
|
31 | 31 | ipython console --kernel bash |
|
32 | 32 | |
|
33 | 33 | # To list available kernels |
|
34 | 34 | ipython kernelspec list |
|
35 | 35 | |
|
36 | 36 | Kernel authors should see :ref:`kernelspecs` for how to register their kernels |
|
37 | 37 | with IPython so that these mechanisms work. |
|

|
39 | 39 | Typing unicode identifiers |
|
40 | 40 | -------------------------- |
|
41 | 41 | |
|
42 | 42 | .. image:: /_images/unicode_completion.png |
|
43 | 43 | |
|
44 | 44 | Complex expressions can be much cleaner when written with a wider choice of |
|
45 | 45 | characters. Python 3 allows unicode identifiers, and IPython 3 makes it easier |
|
46 | 46 | to type those, using a feature from Julia. Type a backslash followed by a LaTeX |
|
47 | 47 | style short name, such as ``\alpha``. Press tab, and it will turn into Ξ±. |
|
48 | 48 | |
|
49 | 49 | Other new features |
|
50 | 50 | ------------------ |
|
51 | 51 | |
|
52 | 52 | * :class:`~.TextWidget` and :class:`~.TextareaWidget` objects now include a |
|
53 | 53 | ``placeholder`` attribute, for displaying placeholder text before the |
|
54 | 54 | user has typed anything. |
|
55 | 55 | |
|
56 | 56 | * The :magic:`load` magic can now find the source for objects in the user namespace. |
|
57 | 57 | To enable searching the namespace, use the ``-n`` option. |
|
58 | 58 | |
|
59 | 59 | .. sourcecode:: ipython |
|
60 | 60 | |
|
61 | 61 | In [1]: %load -n my_module.some_function |
|
62 | 62 | |
|
63 | 63 | * :class:`~.DirectView` objects have a new :meth:`~.DirectView.use_cloudpickle` |
|
64 | 64 | method, which works like ``view.use_dill()``, but causes the ``cloudpickle`` |
|
65 | 65 | module from PiCloud's `cloud`__ library to be used rather than dill or the |
|
66 | 66 | builtin pickle module. |
|
67 | 67 | |
|
68 | 68 | __ https://pypi.python.org/pypi/cloud |
|
69 | 69 | |
|
70 | 70 | * Added a .ipynb exporter to nbconvert. It can be used by passing `--to notebook` |
|
71 | 71 | as a commandline argument to nbconvert. |
|
72 | 72 | |
|
73 | 73 | * New nbconvert preprocessor called :class:`~.ClearOutputPreprocessor`. This |
|
74 | 74 | clears the output from IPython notebooks. |
|
75 | 75 | |
|
76 | 76 | * New preprocessor for nbconvert that executes all the code cells in a notebook. |
|
77 | 77 | To run a notebook and save its output in a new notebook:: |
|
78 | 78 | |
|
79 | 79 | ipython nbconvert InputNotebook --ExecutePreprocessor.enabled=True --to notebook --output Executed |
|
80 | 80 | |
|
81 | 81 | * Consecutive stream (stdout/stderr) output is merged into a single output |
|
82 | 82 | in the notebook document. |
|
83 | 83 | Previously, all output messages were preserved as separate output fields in the JSON. |
|
84 | 84 | Now, the same merge is applied to the stored output as the displayed output, |
|
85 | 85 | improving document load time for notebooks with many small outputs. |
|
86 | 86 | |
|
87 | 87 | * ``NotebookApp.webapp_settings`` is deprecated and replaced with |
|
88 | 88 | the more informatively named ``NotebookApp.tornado_settings``. |
|
89 | 89 | |
|
90 | 90 | * Using :magic:`timeit` prints warnings if there is atleast a 4x difference in timings |
|
91 | 91 | between the slowest and fastest runs, since this might meant that the multiple |
|
92 | 92 | runs are not independent of one another. |
|
93 | 93 | |
|
94 | 94 | * It's now possible to provide mechanisms to integrate IPython with other event |
|
95 | 95 | loops, in addition to the ones we already support. This lets you run GUI code |
|
96 | 96 | in IPython with an interactive prompt, and to embed the IPython |
|
97 | 97 | kernel in GUI applications. See :doc:`/config/eventloops` for details. As part |
|
98 | 98 | of this, the direct ``enable_*`` and ``disable_*`` functions for various GUIs |
|
99 | 99 | in :mod:`IPython.lib.inputhook` have been deprecated in favour of |
|
100 | 100 | :meth:`~.InputHookManager.enable_gui` and :meth:`~.InputHookManager.disable_gui`. |
|
101 | 101 | |
|
102 | 102 | * A ``ScrollManager`` was added to the notebook. The ``ScrollManager`` controls how the notebook document is scrolled using keyboard. Users can inherit from the ``ScrollManager`` or ``TargetScrollManager`` to customize how their notebook scrolls. The default ``ScrollManager`` is the ``SlideScrollManager``, which tries to scroll to the nearest slide or sub-slide cell. |
|
103 | 103 | |
|
104 | 104 | * The function :func:`~IPython.html.widgets.interaction.interact_manual` has been |
|
105 | 105 | added which behaves similarly to :func:`~IPython.html.widgets.interaction.interact`, |
|
106 | 106 | but adds a button to explicitly run the interacted-with function, rather than |
|
107 | 107 | doing it automatically for every change of the parameter widgets. This should |
|
108 | 108 | be useful for long-running functions. |
|
109 | 109 | |
|
110 | 110 | * The ``%cython`` magic is now part of the Cython module. Use `%load_ext Cython` with a version of Cython >= 0.21 to have access to the magic now. |
|
111 | 111 | |
|
112 | 112 | * The Notebook application now offers integrated terminals on Unix platforms, |
|
113 | 113 | intended for when it is used on a remote server. To enable these, install |
|
114 | 114 | the ``terminado`` Python package. |
|
115 | 115 | |
|
116 | 116 | * Setting the default highlighting language for nbconvert with the config option |
|
117 | 117 | ``NbConvertBase.default_language`` is deprecated. Nbconvert now respects |
|
118 | 118 | metadata stored in the :ref:`kernel spec <kernelspecs>`. |
|
119 | 119 | |
|
120 | 120 | * IPython can now be configured systemwide, with files in :file:`/etc/ipython` |
|
121 | 121 | or :file:`/usr/local/etc/ipython` on Unix systems, |
|
122 | 122 | or :file:`{%PROGRAMDATA%}\\ipython` on Windows. |

|
127 | 127 | Backwards incompatible changes |
|
128 | 128 | ------------------------------ |
|
129 | 129 | |
|
130 | 130 | * :func:`IPython.core.oinspect.getsource` call specification has changed: |
|
131 | 131 | |
|
132 | 132 | * `oname` keyword argument has been added for property source formatting |
|
133 | 133 | * `is_binary` keyword argument has been dropped, passing ``True`` had |
|
134 | 134 | previously short-circuited the function to return ``None`` unconditionally |
|
135 | 135 | |
|
136 | 136 | * Removed the octavemagic extension: it is now available as ``oct2py.ipython``. |
|
137 | 137 | |
|
138 | 138 | * Creating PDFs with LaTeX no longer uses a post processor. |
|
139 | 139 | Use `nbconvert --to pdf` instead of `nbconvert --to latex --post pdf`. |
|
140 | 140 | |
|
141 | 141 | * Used https://github.com/jdfreder/bootstrap2to3 to migrate the Notebook to Bootstrap 3. |
|
142 | 142 | |
|
143 | 143 | Additional changes: |
|
144 | 144 | |
|
145 | 145 | - Set `.tab-content .row` `0px;` left and right margin (bootstrap default is `-15px;`) |
|
146 | 146 | - Removed `height: @btn_mini_height;` from `.list_header>div, .list_item>div` in `tree.less` |
|
147 | 147 | - Set `#header` div `margin-bottom: 0px;` |
|
148 | 148 | - Set `#menus` to `float: left;` |
|
149 | 149 | - Set `#maintoolbar .navbar-text` to `float: none;` |
|
150 | 150 | - Added no-padding convienence class. |
|
151 | 151 | - Set border of #maintoolbar to 0px |
|
152 | 152 | |
|
153 | 153 | * Accessing the `container` DOM object when displaying javascript has been |
|
154 | 154 | deprecated in IPython 2.0 in favor of accessing `element`. Starting with |
|
155 | 155 | IPython 3.0 trying to access `container` will raise an error in browser |
|
156 | 156 | javascript console. |
|
157 | 157 | |
|
158 | 158 | * ``IPython.utils.py3compat.open`` was removed: :func:`io.open` provides all |
|
159 | 159 | the same functionality. |
|
160 | 160 | |
|
161 | 161 | * The NotebookManager and ``/api/notebooks`` service has been replaced by |
|
162 | 162 | a more generic ContentsManager and ``/api/contents`` service, |
|
163 | 163 | which supports all kinds of files. |
|
164 | 164 | * The Dashboard now lists all files, not just notebooks and directories. |
|
165 | 165 | * The ``--script`` hook for saving notebooks to Python scripts is removed, |
|
166 | 166 | use :samp:`ipython nbconvert --to python {notebook}` instead. |
|
167 | 167 | |
|
168 | 168 | * The ``rmagic`` extension is deprecated, as it is now part of rpy2. See |
|
169 | 169 | :mod:`rpy2.ipython.rmagic`. |
|
170 | 170 | |
|
171 | 171 | * :meth:`~.KernelManager.start_kernel` and :meth:`~.KernelManager.format_kernel_cmd` |
|
172 | 172 | no longer accept a ``executable`` parameter. Use the kernelspec machinery instead. |
|
173 | 173 | |
|
174 | 174 | * The widget classes have been renamed from `*Widget` to `*`. The old names are |
|
175 | 175 | still functional, but are deprecated. i.e. `IntSliderWidget` has been renamed |
|
176 | 176 | to `IntSlider`. |
|
177 | 177 | * The ContainerWidget was renamed to Box and no longer defaults as a flexible |
|
178 | 178 | box in the web browser. A new FlexBox widget was added, which allows you to |
|
179 | 179 | use the flexible box model. |

184 | ```````````````` | |
|
183 | Content Security Policy | |
|
184 | ``````````````````````` | |
|
185 | 185 | |
|
186 | The IPython Notebook and its APIs by default will only be allowed to be | |
|
187 | embedded in an iframe on the same origin. | |
|
186 | The Content Security Policy is a web standard for adding a layer of security to | |
|
187 | detect and mitigate certain classes of attacks, including Cross Site Scripting | |
|
188 | (XSS) and data injection attacks. This was introduced into the notebook to | |
|
189 | ensure that the IPython Notebook and its APIs (by default) can only be embedded | |
|
190 | in an iframe on the same origin. | |
|
188 | 191 | |
|
189 | 192 | Override ``headers['Content-Security-Policy']`` within your notebook |
|
190 | 193 | configuration to extend for alternate domains and security settings.:: |
|
191 | 194 | |
|
192 | 195 | c.NotebookApp.tornado_settings = { |
|
193 | 196 | 'headers': { |
|
194 | 'Content-Security-Policy': "default-src 'self' *.jupyter.org | |
|
197 | 'Content-Security-Policy': "default-src 'self' *.jupyter.org" | |
|
195 | 198 | } |
|
196 | 199 | } |
|
197 | 200 | |
|
201 | Example policies:: | |
|
202 | ||
|
203 | Content-Security-Policy: default-src 'self' https://*.jupyter.org | |
|
204 | ||
|
205 | Matches embeddings on any subdomain of jupyter.org, so long as they are served | |
|
206 | over SSL. | |
