134 139
135 140 2008-02-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
136 141

138 143 indentation - it cleans up the scripts it gets
139 144
140 145 2008-02-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
141 146
142 147 * Extensions/ipy_leo.py: created 'ILeo' IPython-Leo bridge.
143 148 Changes to it (later on) are too numerous to list in ChangeLog
144 149 until it stabilizes
145 150
146 151 2008-02-07 Darren Dale <darren.dale@cornell.edu>
147 152
148 153 * IPython/Shell.py: Call QtCore.pyqtRemoveInputHook() when creating
149 154 an IPShellQt4. PyQt4-4.2.1 and later uses PyOS_InputHook to improve
150 155 interaction in the interpreter (like Tkinter does), but it seems to
151 156 partially interfere with the IPython implementation and exec_()
152 157 still seems to block. So we disable the PyQt implementation and
153 158 stick with the IPython one for now.

155 160 2008-02-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
156 161
157 162 * ipipe.py: A new ipipe table has been added: ialias produces all
158 163 entries from IPython's alias table.
159 164
160 165 2008-02-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
161 166
162 167 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Improve handling
163 168 of KBINT in threaded shells. After code provided by Marc in #212.
164 169
165 170 2008-01-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
166 171
167 172 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fixed deadlock
168 173 that could occur due to a race condition in threaded shells.
169 174 Thanks to code provided by Marc, as #210.
170 175
171 176 2008-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
172 177
173 178 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): respect the user's
174 179 settings for input separators rather than overriding them. After
175 180 a report by Jeff Kowalczyk <jtk-AT-yahoo.com>
176 181
177 182 * IPython/history.py (magic_history): Add support for declaring an
178 183 output file directly from the history command.
179 184
180 185 2008-01-21 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
181 186
182 187 * ipipe.py: Register ipipe's displayhooks via the generic function
183 188 generics.result_display() instead of using ipapi.set_hook().
184 189
185 190 2008-01-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
186 191
187 192 * ibrowse.py, igrid.py, ipipe.py:
188 193 The input object can now be passed to the constructor of the display classes.
189 194 This makes it possible to use them with objects that implement __or__.
190 195 Use this constructor in the displayhook instead of piping.
191 196
192 197 * ipipe.py: Importing astyle.py is done as late as possible to
193 198 avoid problems with circular imports.
194 199
195 200 2008-01-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
196 201
197 202 * hooks.py, iplib.py: Added 'shell_hook' to customize how
198 203 IPython calls shell.
199 204
200 205 * hooks.py, iplib.py: Added 'show_in_pager' hook to specify
201 206 how IPython pages text (%page, %pycat, %pdoc etc.)
202 207
203 208 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Use shell_hook. New magics: '%tasks'
204 209 and '%kill' to kill hanging processes that won't obey ctrl+C.
205 210
206 211 2008-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
207 212
208 213 * ipy_completers.py: pyw extension support for %run completer.
209 214
210 215 2008-01-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
211 216
212 217 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: new rc option - autoexec. It's a list
213 218 of ipython commands to be run when IPython has started up
214 219 (just before running the scripts and -c arg on command line).
215 220
216 221 * ipy_user_conf.py: Added an example on how to change term
217 222 colors in config file (through using autoexec).
218 223
219 224 * completer.py, test_completer.py: Ability to specify custom
220 225 get_endidx to replace readline.get_endidx. For emacs users.
221 226
222 227 2008-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
223 228
224 229 * Prompts.py (set_p_str): do not crash on illegal prompt strings
225 230
226 231 2008-01-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
227 232
228 233 * '%macro -r' (raw mode) is now default in sh profile.
229 234
230 235 2007-12-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
231 236
232 237 * completer.py: custom completer matching is now case sensitive
233 238 (#207).
234 239
235 240 * ultraTB.py, iplib.py: Add some KeyboardInterrupt catching in
236 241 an attempt to prevent occasional crashes.
237 242
238 243 * CrashHandler.py: Crash log dump now asks user to press enter
239 244 before exiting.
240 245
241 246 * Store _ip in user_ns instead of __builtin__, enabling safer
242 247 coexistence of multiple IPython instances in the same python
243 248 interpreter (#197).
244 249
245 250 * Debugger.py, ipmaker.py: Need to add '-pydb' command line
246 251 switch to enable pydb in post-mortem debugging and %run -d.
247 252
248 253 2007-12-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
249 254
250 255 * ipy_server.py: TCP socket server for "remote control" of an IPython
251 256 instance.
252 257
253 258 * Debugger.py: Change to PSF license
254 259
255 260 * simplegeneric.py: Add license & author notes.
256 261
257 262 * ipy_fsops.py: Added PathObj and FileObj, an object-oriented way
258 263 to navigate file system with a custom completer. Run
259 264 ipy_fsops.test_pathobj() to play with it.
260 265
261 266 2007-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
262 267
263 268 * IPython/dtutils.py: Add utilities for interactively running
264 269 doctests. Still needs work to more easily handle the namespace of
265 270 the package one may be working on, but the basics are in place.
266 271
267 272 2007-12-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
268 273
269 274 * ipy_completers.py: Applied arno's patch to get proper list of
270 275 packages in import completer. Closes #196.
271 276
272 277 2007-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
273 278
274 279 * completer.py, generics.py(complete_object): Allow
275 280 custom complers based on python objects via simplegeneric.
276 281 See generics.py / my_demo_complete_object
277 282
278 283 2007-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
279 284
280 285 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.__nonzero__): add proper boolean
281 286 behavior to prompt objects, useful for display hooks to adjust
282 287 themselves depending on whether prompts will be there or not.
283 288
284 289 2007-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
285 290
286 291 * iplib.py(raw_input): unix readline does not allow unicode in
287 292 history, encode to normal string. After patch by Tiago.
288 293 Close #201
289 294
290 295 2007-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
291 296
292 297 * genutils.py (abbrev_cwd): Terminal title now shows 2 levels of
293 298 current directory.
294 299
295 300 2007-12-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
296 301
297 302 * IPython/Shell.py (_select_shell): add support for controlling
298 303 the pylab threading mode directly at the command line, without
299 304 having to modify MPL config files. Added unit tests for this
300 305 feature, though manual/docs update is still pending, will do later.
301 306
302 307 2007-12-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
303 308
304 309 * ext_rescapture.py: var = !cmd is no longer verbose (to facilitate
305 310 use in scripts)
306 311
307 312 2007-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
308 313
309 314 * iplib.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: Do not escape # on command lines
310 315 anymore (to \#) - even if it is a comment char that is implicitly
311 316 escaped in some unix shells in interactive mode, it is ok to leave
312 317 it in IPython as such.
313 318
314 319
315 320 2007-12-01 Robert Kern <robert.kern@gmail.com>
316 321
317 322 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): Improve the monkeypatch to
318 323 inspect.findsource(). It can now find source lines inside zipped
319 324 packages.
320 325
321 326 * IPython/ultraTB.py: When constructing tracebacks, try to use __file__
322 327 in the frame's namespace before trusting the filename in the code object
323 328 which created the frame.
324 329
325 330 2007-11-29 *** Released version 0.8.2
326 331
327 332 2007-11-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
328 333
329 334 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstop): add a proper logstop()
330 335 method to fully stop the logger, along with a corresponding
331 336 %logstop magic for interactive use.
332 337
333 338 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_host_completers.py: added new host
334 339 completers functionality, contributed by Gael Pasgrimaud
335 340 <gawel-AT-afpy.org>.
336 341
337 342 2007-11-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
338 343
339 344 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (ArgumentError): Apply patch by Paul Mueller
340 345 <gakusei-AT-dakotacom.net>, to fix deprecated string exceptions in
341 346 options handling. Unicode fix in %whos (committed a while ago)
342 347 was also contributed by Paul.
343 348
344 349 2007-11-23 Darren Dale <darren.dale@cornell.edu>
345 350 * ipy_traits_completer.py: let traits_completer respect the user's
346 351 readline_omit__names setting.
347 352
348 353 2007-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
349 354
350 355 * ipy_completers.py (import completer): assume 'xml' module exists.
351 356 Do not add every module twice anymore. Closes #196.
352 357
353 358 * ipy_completers.py, ipy_app_completers.py: Add proper apt-get
354 359 completer that uses apt-cache to search for existing packages.
355 360
356 361 2007-11-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
357 362
358 363 * Prompts.py: Do not update _oh and _123 when do_full_cache is not
359 364 true. Closes #194.
360 365
361 366 2007-11-01 Brian Granger <ellisonbg@gmail.com>
362 367
363 368 * iplib.py, rlineimpl.py: Applied Body Water's patches to get IPython
364 369 working with OS X 10.5 libedit implementation of readline.
365 370
366 371 2007-10-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
367 372
368 373 * iplib.py(user_setup): To route around buggy installations where
369 374 UserConfig is not available, create a minimal _ipython.
370 375
371 376 * iplib.py: Unicode fixes from Jorgen.
372 377
373 378 * genutils.py: Slist now has new method 'fields()' for extraction of
374 379 whitespace-separated fields from line-oriented data.
375 380
376 381 2007-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
377 382
378 383 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug that could arise
379 384 when querying objects with no __class__ attribute (such as
380 385 f2py-generated modules).
381 386
382 387 2007-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
383 388
384 389 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): track compilation time and report
385 390 it if longer than 0.1s (fix done to %time and %timeit). After a
386 391 SAGE bug report: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/632.
387 392
388 393 2007-09-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
389 394
390 395 * genutils.py(make_quoted_expr): Do not use Itpl, it does
391 396 not support unicode at the moment. Fixes (many) magic calls with
392 397 special characters.
393 398
394 399 2007-09-14 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
395 400
396 401 * IPython/genutils.py (doctest_reload): expose the doctest
397 402 reloader to the user so that people can easily reset doctest while
398 403 using it interactively. Fixes a problem reported by Jorgen.
399 404
400 405 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): protect the
401 406 FakeModule instances used for __main__ in %run calls from
402 407 deletion, so that user code defined in them isn't left with
403 408 dangling references due to the Python module deletion machinery.
404 409 This should fix the problems reported by Darren.
405 410
406 411 2007-09-10 Darren Dale <dd55@cornell.edu>
407 412
408 413 * Cleanup of IPShellQt and IPShellQt4
409 414
410 415 2007-09-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
411 416
412 417 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): further fixes for
413 418 doctest support.
414 419
415 420 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): minor docstring improvements.
416 421
417 422 2007-09-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
418 423
419 424 * Magic.py (%pushd, %popd, %dirs): Fix dir stack - push *current*
420 425 directory, not the target directory.
421 426
422 427 * ipapi.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: Add ipapi.UsageError, a lighter weight
423 428 exception that won't print the tracebacks. Switched many magics to
424 429 raise them on error situations, also GetoptError is not printed
425 430 anymore.
426 431
427 432 2007-09-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
428 433
429 434 * iplib.py: do not auto-alias "dir", it screws up other dir auto
430 435 aliases.
431 436
432 437 * genutils.py: SList.grep() implemented.
433 438
434 439 * ipy_editors.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: Add some editors
435 440 for easy "out of the box" setup of several common editors, so that
436 441 e.g. '%edit os.path.isfile' will jump to the correct line
437 442 automatically. Contributions for command lines of your favourite
438 443 editors welcome.
439 444
440 445 2007-09-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
441 446
442 447 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fixed bug that was
443 448 preventing source display in certain cases. In reality I think
444 449 the problem is with Ubuntu's Python build, but this change works
445 450 around the issue in some cases (not in all, unfortunately). I'd
446 451 filed a Python bug on this with more details, but in the change of
447 452 bug trackers it seems to have been lost.
448 453
449 454 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_dhist): restore %dhist. No, cd -TAB is
450 455 not the same, it's not self-documenting, doesn't allow range
451 456 selection, and sorts alphabetically instead of numerically.
452 457 (magic_r): restore %r. No, "up + enter. One char magic" is not
453 458 the same thing, since %r takes parameters to allow fast retrieval
454 459 of old commands. I've received emails from users who use this a
455 460 LOT, so it stays.
456 461 (magic_automagic): restore %automagic. "use _ip.option.automagic"
457 462 is not a valid replacement b/c it doesn't provide an complete
458 463 explanation (which the automagic docstring does).
459 464 (magic_autocall): restore %autocall, with improved docstring.
460 465 Same argument as for others, "use _ip.options.autocall" is not a
461 466 valid replacement.
462 467 (magic_pdef): restore %pdef & friends. Used widely, mentioned in
463 468 tutorials and online docs.
464 469
465 470 2007-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
466 471
467 472 * IPython/usage.py (quick_reference): mention magics in quickref,
468 473 modified main banner to mention %quickref.
469 474
470 475 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule): fixes for doctest compatibility.
471 476
472 477 2007-09-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
473 478
474 479 * ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_workdir.py, ipy_fsops.py, iplib.py:
475 480 Callable aliases now pass the _ip as first arg. This breaks
476 481 compatibility with earlier 0.8.2.svn series! (though they should
477 482 not have been in use yet outside these few extensions)
478 483
479 484 2007-09-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
480 485
481 486 * external/mglob.py: expand('dirname') => ['dirname'], instead
482 487 of ['dirname/foo','dirname/bar', ...].
483 488
484 489 * Extensions/ipy_fsops.py: added, has usefull shell utils for plain
485 490 win32 installations: icp, imv, imkdir, igrep, irm, collect (collect
486 491 is useful for others as well).
487 492
488 493 * iplib.py: on callable aliases (as opposed to old style aliases),
489 494 do var_expand() immediately, and use make_quoted_expr instead
490 495 of hardcoded r"""
491 496
492 497 * Extensions/ipy_profile_sh.py: Try to detect cygwin on win32,
493 498 if not available load ipy_fsops.py for cp, mv, etc. replacements
494 499
495 500 * OInspect.py, ipy_which.py: improve %which and obj? for callable
496 501 aliases
497 502
498 503 2007-09-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
499 504
500 505 * ipy_profile_zope.py: add zope profile, by Stefan Eletzhofer.
501 506 Relicensed under BSD with the authors approval.
502 507
503 508 * ipmaker.py, usage.py: Remove %magic from default banner, improve
504 509 %quickref
505 510
506 511 2007-09-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
507 512
508 513 * Magic.py: %time now passes expression through prefilter,
509 514 allowing IPython syntax.
510 515
511 516 2007-09-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
512 517
513 518 * ipmaker.py: Always show full traceback when newstyle config fails
514 519
515 520 2007-08-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
516 521
517 522 * Magic.py: fix %cd for nonexistent dir when dhist is empty, close #180
518 523
519 524 2007-08-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
520 525
521 526 * ipmaker.py: Command line args have the highest priority again
522 527
523 528 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: -i command line argument now behaves as in
524 529 normal python, i.e. leaves the IPython session running after -c
525 530 command or running a batch file from command line.
526 531
527 532 2007-08-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
528 533
529 534 * iplib.py: no extra empty (last) line in raw hist w/ multiline
530 535 statements
531 536
532 537 * logger.py: Fix bug where blank lines in history were not
533 538 added until AFTER adding the current line; translated and raw
534 539 history should finally be in sync with prompt now.
535 540
536 541 * ipy_completers.py: quick_completer now makes it easy to create
537 542 trivial custom completers
538 543
539 544 * clearcmd.py: shadow history compression & erasing, fixed input hist
540 545 clearing.
541 546
542 547 * envpersist.py, history.py: %env (sh profile only), %hist completers
543 548
544 549 * genutils.py, Prompts.py, Magic.py: win32 - prompt (with \yDEPTH) and
545 550 term title now include the drive letter, and always use / instead of
546 551 os.sep (as per recommended approach for win32 ipython in general).
547 552
548 553 * ipykit.py, ipy_kitcfg.py: special launcher for ipykit. Allows running
549 554 plain python scripts from ipykit command line by running
550 555 "py myscript.py", even w/o installed python.

553 558
554 559 * ipmaker.py: finding ipythonrc-PROF now skips ipy_profile_PROF.
555 560 (for backwards compatibility)
556 561
557 562 * history.py: switch back to %hist -t from %hist -r as default.
558 563 At least until raw history is fixed for good.
559 564
560 565 2007-08-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
561 566
562 567 * ipapi.py, iplib.py: DebugTools accessible via _ip.dbg, to catch &
563 568 locate alias redeclarations etc. Also, avoid handling
564 569 _ip.IP.alias_table directly, prefer using _ip.defalias.
565 570
566 571
567 572 2007-08-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
568 573
569 574 * prefilter.py: ! is now always served first
570 575
571 576 2007-08-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
572 577
573 578 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): fix the SystemExit
574 579 auto-suppression code to work in Python2.4 (the internal structure
575 580 of that exception changed and I'd only tested the code with 2.5).
576 581 Bug reported by a SciPy attendee.
577 582
578 583 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
579 584
580 585 * prefilter.py: reverted !c:/bin/foo fix, made % in
581 586 multiline specials work again
582 587
583 588 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
584 589
585 590 * prefilter.py: Take more care to special-case !, so that
586 591 !c:/bin/foo.exe works.
587 592
588 593 * setup.py: if we are building eggs, strip all docs and
589 594 examples (it doesn't make sense to bytecompile examples,
590 595 and docs would be in an awkward place anyway).
591 596
592 597 * Ryan Krauss' patch fixes start menu shortcuts when IPython
593 598 is installed into a directory that has spaces in the name.
594 599
595 600 2007-08-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
596 601
597 602 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): fix prompt separators in
598 603 doctest profile and %doctest_mode, so they actually generate the
599 604 blank lines needed by doctest to separate individual tests.
600 605
601 606 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): modify so that running code
602 607 which calls sys.exit(0) (or equivalently, raise SystemExit(0))
603 608 doesn't get a printed traceback. Any other value in sys.exit(),
604 609 including the empty call, still generates a traceback. This
605 610 enables use of %run without having to pass '-e' for codes that
606 611 correctly set the exit status flag.
607 612
608 613 2007-08-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
609 614
610 615 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
611 616 fix problems with doctests failing when run inside IPython due to
612 617 IPython's modifications of sys.displayhook.
613 618
614 619 2007-8-9 Fernando Perez <fperez@planck.colorado.edu>
615 620
616 621 * IPython/ipapi.py (to_user_ns): update to accept a dict as well as
617 622 a string with names.
618 623
619 624 2007-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
620 625
621 626 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): added new %doctest_mode
622 627 magic to toggle on/off the doctest pasting support without having
623 628 to leave a session to switch to a separate profile.
624 629
625 630 2007-08-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
626 631
627 632 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py (main): fix prompt to
628 633 introduce a blank line between inputs, to conform to doctest
629 634 requirements.
630 635
631 636 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix another part where
632 637 auto-generated docstrings for new-style classes were showing up.
633 638
634 639 2007-08-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
635 640
636 641 * api_changes: Add new file to track backward-incompatible
637 642 user-visible changes.
638 643
639 644 2007-08-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
640 645
641 646 * ipmaker.py: fix bug where user_config_ns didn't exist at all
642 647 before all the config files were handled.
643 648
644 649 2007-08-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
645 650
646 651 * IPython/irunner.py (RunnerFactory): Add new factory class for
647 652 creating reusable runners based on filenames.
648 653
649 654 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py: New profile for
650 655 doctest support. It sets prompts/exceptions as similar to
651 656 standard Python as possible, so that ipython sessions in this
652 657 profile can be easily pasted as doctests with minimal
653 658 modifications. It also enables pasting of doctests from external
654 659 sources (even if they have leading whitespace), so that you can
655 660 rerun doctests from existing sources.
656 661
657 662 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix a buglet where after entering
658 663 some whitespace, the prompt would become a continuation prompt
659 664 with no way of exiting it other than Ctrl-C. This fix brings us
660 665 into conformity with how the default python prompt works.
661 666
662 667 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py (prefilter_paste):
663 668 Add support for pasting not only lines that start with '>>>', but
664 669 also with ' >>>'. That is, arbitrary whitespace can now precede
665 670 the prompts. This makes the system useful for pasting doctests
666 671 from docstrings back into a normal session.
667 672
668 673 2007-08-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
669 674
670 675 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): fix bug introduced in
671 676 r1357, which had killed multiple invocations of an embedded
672 677 ipython (this means that example-embed has been broken for over 1
673 678 year!!!). Rather than possibly breaking the batch stuff for which
674 679 the code in iplib.py/interact was introduced, I worked around the
675 680 problem in the embedding class in Shell.py. We really need a
676 681 bloody test suite for this code, I'm sick of finding stuff that
677 682 used to work breaking left and right every time I use an old
678 683 feature I hadn't touched in a few months.
679 684 (kill_embedded): Add a new magic that only shows up in embedded
680 685 mode, to allow users to permanently deactivate an embedded instance.
681 686
682 687 2007-08-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
683 688
684 689 * iplib.py, ipy_profile_sh.py (runlines): Fix the bug where raw
685 690 history gets out of sync on runlines (e.g. when running macros).
686 691
687 692 2007-07-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
688 693
689 694 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_colors): fix win32-related error message
690 695 that could appear under *nix when readline was missing. Patch by
691 696 Scott Jackson, closes #175.
692 697
693 698 2007-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
694 699
695 700 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_traits_completer.py: Add a new custom
696 701 completer that it traits-aware, so that traits objects don't show
697 702 all of their internal attributes all the time.
698 703
699 704 * IPython/genutils.py (dir2): moved this code from inside
700 705 completer.py to expose it publicly, so I could use it in the
701 706 wildcards bugfix.
702 707
703 708 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix a bug reported by
704 709 Stefan with Traits.
705 710
706 711 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): change internal
707 712 var name from 'object' to 'obj', since 'object' is now a builtin
708 713 and this can lead to weird bugs if reusing this code elsewhere.
709 714
710 715 2007-07-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
711 716
712 717 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix small glitches in
713 718 'foo?' and update the code to prevent printing of default
714 719 docstrings that started appearing after I added support for
715 720 new-style classes. The approach I'm using isn't ideal (I just
716 721 special-case those strings) but I'm not sure how to more robustly
717 722 differentiate between truly user-written strings and Python's
718 723 automatic ones.
719 724
720 725 2007-07-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
721 726
722 727 * completer.py: Applied Matthew Neeley's patch:
723 728 Dynamic attributes from trait_names and _getAttributeNames are added
724 729 to the list of tab completions, but when this happens, the attribute
725 730 list is turned into a set, so the attributes are unordered when
726 731 printed, which makes it hard to find the right completion. This patch
727 732 turns this set back into a list and sort it.
728 733
729 734 2007-07-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
730 735
731 736 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add support for new-style
732 737 classes in various inspector functions.
733 738
734 739 2007-06-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
735 740
736 741 * shadowns.py, iplib.py, ipapi.py, OInspect.py:
737 742 Implement "shadow" namespace, and callable aliases that reside there.
738 743 Use them by:
739 744
740 745 _ip.defalias('foo',myfunc) # creates _sh.foo that points to myfunc
741 746
742 747 foo hello world
743 748 (gets translated to:)
744 749 _sh.foo(r"""hello world""")
745 750
746 751 In practice, this kind of alias can take the role of a magic function
747 752
748 753 * New generic inspect_object, called on obj? and obj??
749 754
750 755 2007-06-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
751 756
752 757 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): fix a problem with
753 758 inspect.getfile that can cause crashes during traceback construction.
754 759
755 760 2007-06-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
756 761
757 762 * iplib.py (handle_auto): Try to use ascii for printing "--->"
758 763 autocall rewrite indication, becausesometimes unicode fails to print
759 764 properly (and you get ' - - - '). Use plain uncoloured ---> for
760 765 unicode.
761 766
762 767 * shadow history. Usable through "%hist -g <pat>" and "%rep 0123".
763 768
764 769 . pickleshare 'hash' commands (hget, hset, hcompress,
765 770 hdict) for efficient shadow history storage.
766 771
767 772 2007-06-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
768 773
769 774 * ipapi.py: _ip.to_user_ns(vars, interactive = True).
770 775 Added kw arg 'interactive', tell whether vars should be visible
771 776 with %whos.
772 777
773 778 2007-06-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
774 779
775 780 * pspersistence.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: directory history now saved
776 781 to db
777 782
778 783 * iplib.py: "ipython -c <cmd>" now passes the command through prefilter.
779 784 Also, it exits IPython immediately after evaluating the command (just like
780 785 std python)
781 786
782 787 2007-06-05 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
783 788
784 789 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a new table icap, which executes a
785 790 Python string and captures the output. (Idea and original patch by
786 791 Stefan van der Walt)
787 792
788 793 2007-06-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
789 794
790 795 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): update printing of
791 796 exception types for Python 2.5 (now all exceptions in the stdlib
792 797 are new-style classes).
793 798
794 799 2007-05-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
795 800
796 801 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add new commands refresh and
797 802 refresh_timer (mapped to "R"/"F5" and to the menu) which restarts
798 803 the iterator once (refresh) or after every x seconds (refresh_timer).
799 804 Add a working implementation of "searchexpression", where the text
800 805 entered is not the text to search for, but an expression that must
801 806 be true. Added display of shortcuts to the menu. Added commands "pickinput"
802 807 and "pickinputattr" that put the object or attribute under the cursor
803 808 in the input line. Split the statusbar to be able to display the currently
804 809 active refresh interval. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
805 810
806 811 2007-05-29 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
807 812
808 813 * fixing set_term_title to use ctypes as default
809 814
810 815 * fixing set_term_title fallback to work when curent dir
811 816 is on a windows network share
812 817
813 818 2007-05-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
814 819
815 820 * %cpaste: strip + with > from left (diffs).
816 821
817 822 * iplib.py: Fix crash when readline not installed
818 823
819 824 2007-05-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
820 825
821 826 * generics.py: introduce easy to extend result_display generic
822 827 function (using simplegeneric.py).
823 828
824 829 * Fixed the append functionality of %set.
825 830
826 831 2007-05-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
827 832
828 833 * New magic: %rep (fetch / run old commands from history)
829 834
830 835 * New extension: mglob (%mglob magic), for powerful glob / find /filter
831 836 like functionality
832 837
833 838 % maghistory.py: %hist -g PATTERM greps the history for pattern
834 839
835 840 2007-05-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
836 841
837 842 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a Table ihist that can be used to
838 843 browse the IPython input history
839 844
840 845 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Added two command to ibrowse: pickinput
841 846 (mapped to "i") can be used to put the object under the curser in the input
842 847 line. pickinputattr (mapped to "I") does the same for the attribute under
843 848 the cursor.
844 849
845 850 2007-05-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
846 851
847 852 * Grand magic cleansing (changeset [2380]):
848 853
849 854 * Introduce ipy_legacy.py where the following magics were
850 855 moved:
851 856
852 857 pdef pdoc psource pfile rehash dhist Quit p r automagic autocall
853 858
854 859 If you need them, either use default profile or "import ipy_legacy"
855 860 in your ipy_user_conf.py
856 861
857 862 * Move sh and scipy profile to Extensions from UserConfig. this implies
858 863 you should not edit them, but you don't need to run %upgrade when
859 864 upgrading IPython anymore.
860 865
861 866 * %hist/%history now operates in "raw" mode by default. To get the old
862 867 behaviour, run '%hist -n' (native mode).
863 868
864 869 * split ipy_stock_completers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py and
865 870 ipy_app_completers.py. Stock completers (%cd, import, %run) are now
866 871 installed as default.
867 872
868 873 * sh profile now installs ipy_signals.py, for (hopefully) better ctrl+c
869 874 handling.
870 875
871 876 * iplib.py, ipapi.py: _ip.set_next_input(s) sets the next ("default")
872 877 input if readline is available.
873 878
874 879 2007-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
875 880
876 881 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
877 882
878 883 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
879 884 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
880 885 no python installation required).
881 886
882 887 * Removed ipythonrc-scipy, ipy_profile_scipy.py takes
883 888 its place.
884 889
885 890 * rlineimpl.py, genutils.py (get_home_dir): py2exe support
886 891
887 892 2007-05-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
888 893
889 894 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
890 895 failure of 'title' system call properly.
891 896
892 897 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
893 898
894 899 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
895 900 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
896 901
897 902 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
898 903
899 904 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
900 905 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
901 906 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
902 907
903 908 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
904 909
905 910 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
906 911 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
907 912
908 913 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
909 914
910 915 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
911 916 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
912 917
913 918 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
914 919 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
915 920
916 921 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
917 922 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
918 923 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
919 924
920 925 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
921 926
922 927 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
923 928 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
924 929 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
925 930 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
926 931
927 932 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
928 933 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
929 934
930 935 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
931 936
932 937 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
933 938 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
934 939 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
935 940 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
936 941
937 942 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
938 943
939 944 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
940 945
941 946 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
942 947 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
943 948
944 949 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
945 950
946 951 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
947 952
948 953 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
949 954
950 955 * iplib.py: (pre_config_initialization) Catch UnicodeDecodeError if the
951 956 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
952 957
953 958 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
954 959
955 960 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
956 961
957 962 * Update version number
958 963
959 964 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
960 965
961 966 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
962 967
963 968 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
964 969 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
965 970 bug discovered by Ville).
966 971
967 972 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
968 973
969 974 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
970 975 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
971 976
972 977 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
973 978
974 979
975 980 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
976 981
977 982 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
978 983 Closes #149.
979 984
980 985 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
981 986 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
982 987 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
983 988
984 989 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
985 990
986 991 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
987 992 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
988 993 allows wildcards.
989 994
990 995 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
991 996 as opposed to returning nothing.
992 997
993 998 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
994 999 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
995 1000
996 1001 2007-04-22 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
997 1002
998 1003 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
999 1004 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
1000 1005
1001 1006 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1002 1007
1003 1008 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
1004 1009 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
1005 1010
1006 1011 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1007 1012
1008 1013 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
1009 1014 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
1010 1015 IPython instance.
1011 1016
1012 1017 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1013 1018
1014 1019 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
1015 1020 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
1016 1021 'Iptl' template notation,
1017 1022
1018 1023 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
1019 1024 safer & faster 'import' completer.
1020 1025
1021 1026 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
1022 1027 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
1023 1028
1024 1029 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
1025 1030 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
1026 1031 defmacro() etc.)
1027 1032
1028 1033 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1029 1034
1030 1035 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
1031 1036
1032 1037 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
1033 1038
1034 1039 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1035 1040
1036 1041 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
1037 1042 and later on win32.
1038 1043
1039 1044 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1040 1045
1041 1046 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
1042 1047
1043 1048 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1044 1049
1045 1050 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
1046 1051 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
1047 1052
1048 1053 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1049 1054
1050 1055 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
1051 1056
1052 1057 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
1053 1058
1054 1059 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1055 1060
1056 1061 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
1057 1062
1058 1063 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
1059 1064 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
1060 1065 every %run call.
1061 1066
1062 1067 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
1063 1068 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
1064 1069 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
1065 1070
1066 1071 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1067 1072
1068 1073 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
1069 1074 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
1070 1075 Stefan for the fix.
1071 1076
1072 1077 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
1073 1078 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
1074 1079 him.
1075 1080
1076 1081 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
1077 1082 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
1078 1083 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
1079 1084 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
1080 1085
1081 1086 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
1082 1087 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
1083 1088 each runcode access.
1084 1089
1085 1090 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
1086 1091 message.
1087 1092
1088 1093 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1089 1094
1090 1095 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
1091 1096 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
1092 1097 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
1093 1098
1094 1099 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
1095 1100 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
1096 1101 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
1097 1102 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
1098 1103 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
1099 1104 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
1100 1105 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
1101 1106 anything up until we know if it actually works.
1102 1107
1103 1108 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
1104 1109 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
1105 1110 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
1106 1111 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
1107 1112 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
1108 1113
1109 1114 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1110 1115
1111 1116 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
1112 1117 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
1113 1118 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
1114 1119
1115 1120 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1116 1121
1117 1122 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
1118 1123 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
1119 1124 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
1120 1125
1121 1126 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1122 1127
1123 1128 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
1124 1129 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
1125 1130 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
1126 1131 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
1127 1132 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
1128 1133
1129 1134 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1130 1135
1131 1136 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
1132 1137 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
1133 1138
1134 1139 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
1135 1140 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
1136 1141 details in comments left in the code.
1137 1142
1138 1143 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
1139 1144 similar to what we had for Numeric.
1140 1145
1141 1146 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
1142 1147 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
1143 1148 than readline. Closes #109.
1144 1149
1145 1150 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
1146 1151 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
1147 1152
1148 1153 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1149 1154
1150 1155 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
1151 1156 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
1152 1157 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
1153 1158 ongoing Unicode support work.
1154 1159
1155 1160 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
1156 1161 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
1157 1162 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
1158 1163 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
1159 1164
1160 1165 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1161 1166
1162 1167 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
1163 1168 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
1164 1169
1165 1170 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1166 1171
1167 1172 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
1168 1173 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
1169 1174 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
1170 1175
1171 1176 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1172 1177
1173 1178 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
1174 1179 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
1175 1180 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
1176 1181 long definition lines for functions.
1177 1182
1178 1183 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1179 1184
1180 1185 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
1181 1186 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
1182 1187 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
1183 1188 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
1184 1189
1185 1190 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1186 1191
1187 1192 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
1188 1193
1189 1194 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1190 1195
1191 1196 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
1192 1197 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
1193 1198 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
1194 1199
1195 1200 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
1196 1201 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
1197 1202
1198 1203 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
1199 1204 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1200 1205
1201 1206 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1202 1207
1203 1208 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
1204 1209 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
1205 1210 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
1206 1211
1207 1212 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1208 1213
1209 1214 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
1210 1215 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
1211 1216
1212 1217 2007-03-20 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
1213 1218 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
1214 1219 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
1215 1220 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
1216 1221 sometimes return "" as last element.
1217 1222
1218 1223 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1219 1224
1220 1225 * IPython/completer.py
1221 1226 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
1222 1227 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
1223 1228 would be completed too early.
1224 1229
1225 1230 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
1226 1231 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
1227 1232 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
1228 1233 backwards compatibility.
1229 1234
1230 1235 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
1231 1236 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
1232 1237 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
1233 1238 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
1234 1239 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
1235 1240 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
1236 1241 also works when debugging.
1237 1242
1238 1243 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
1239 1244 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
1240 1245
1241 1246 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
1242 1247 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
1243 1248 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
1244 1249
1245 1250 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
1246 1251 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
1247 1252 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
1248 1253
1249 1254 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
1250 1255 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
1251 1256
1252 1257 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1253 1258
1254 1259 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
1255 1260 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
1256 1261 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
1257 1262
1258 1263 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1259 1264
1260 1265 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
1261 1266 to be installed alongside igrid.
1262 1267 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
1263 1268 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
1264 1269 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
1265 1270
1266 1271 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1267 1272
1268 1273 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
1269 1274 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
1270 1275 Jorgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
1271 1276
1272 1277 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1273 1278
1274 1279 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
1275 1280 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
1276 1281
1277 1282 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
1278 1283 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
1279 1284
1280 1285 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1281 1286
1282 1287 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
1283 1288 as the default browser.
1284 1289 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
1285 1290 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
1286 1291 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
1287 1292 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
1288 1293
1289 1294 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1290 1295
1291 1296 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
1292 1297 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
1293 1298 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
1294 1299
1295 1300 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1296 1301
1297 1302 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
1298 1303 Close help window if exiting igrid.
1299 1304
1300 1305 2007-03-02 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
1301 1306
1302 1307 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
1303 1308 before calling functions from readline.
1304 1309
1305 1310 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1306 1311
1307 1312 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
1308 1313 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
1309 1314 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
1310 1315 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
1311 1316 falls back to idump.

1313 1318 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1314 1319
1315 1320 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
1316 1321 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
1317 1322 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
1318 1323 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
1319 1324
1320 1325 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1321 1326
1322 1327 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
1323 1328 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
1324 1329 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
1325 1330 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
1326 1331 %magic with explicit % prefix.
1327 1332
1328 1333 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1329 1334
1330 1335 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
1331 1336 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
1332 1337
1333 1338 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1334 1339
1335 1340 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
1336 1341 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
1337 1342 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
1338 1343 one wants those instead.
1339 1344
1340 1345 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
1341 1346 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
1342 1347 instead.
1343 1348
1344 1349 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1345 1350
1346 1351 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
1347 1352 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
1348 1353 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
1349 1354 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
1350 1355
1351 1356 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1352 1357
1353 1358 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
1354 1359 stop marks.
1355 1360 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
1356 1361 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
1357 1362 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
1358 1363
1359 1364 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1360 1365
1361 1366 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
1362 1367 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
1363 1368 sumbmitted to upstream.
1364 1369
1365 1370 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1366 1371
1367 1372 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
1368 1373 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
1369 1374 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
1370 1375 running into an empty levels list later.
1371 1376
1372 1377 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1373 1378
1374 1379 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
1375 1380 for the noitem object.
1376 1381
1377 1382 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1378 1383
1379 1384 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
1380 1385 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
1381 1386 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
1382 1387 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
1383 1388
1384 1389 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1385 1390
1386 1391 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
1387 1392 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
1388 1393 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
1389 1394 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
1390 1395 filenames.
1391 1396
1392 1397 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
1393 1398 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
1394 1399 out-of-process ipython code.
1395 1400
1396 1401 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
1397 1402 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
1398 1403 doctesting.
1399 1404
1400 1405 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
1401 1406
1402 1407 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1403 1408
1404 1409 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
1405 1410 not being correctly recognized.
1406 1411
1407 1412 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1408 1413
1409 1414 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
1410 1415 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
1411 1416 only item.
1412 1417
1413 1418 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
1414 1419 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
1415 1420 infinite recursion for one line strings).
1416 1421
1417 1422 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1418 1423
1419 1424 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
1420 1425 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
1421 1426 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
1422 1427
1423 1428 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1424 1429
1425 1430 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
1426 1431 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
1427 1432 "%env VISUAL=jed".
1428 1433
1429 1434 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1430 1435
1431 1436 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
1432 1437 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
1433 1438 but I'm not exactly sure why).
1434 1439
1435 1440 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
1436 1441 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
1437 1442
1438 1443 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1439 1444
1440 1445 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
1441 1446 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
1442 1447
1443 1448 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
1444 1449 the time during IPython startup is spent.
1445 1450
1446 1451 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1447 1452
1448 1453 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
1449 1454
1450 1455 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
1451 1456
1452 1457 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
1453 1458
1454 1459 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1455 1460
1456 1461 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
1457 1462 to work properly on posix too
1458 1463
1459 1464 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
1460 1465
1461 1466 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1462 1467
1463 1468 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
1464 1469 prefix + "/scripts".
1465 1470
1466 1471 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
1467 1472
1468 1473 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1469 1474
1470 1475 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
1471 1476 if they already exist
1472 1477
1473 1478 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
1474 1479
1475 1480 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1476 1481
1477 1482 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
1478 1483
1479 1484 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1480 1485
1481 1486 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
1482 1487 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
1483 1488 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
1484 1489
1485 1490 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1486 1491
1487 1492 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
1488 1493 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
1489 1494 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
1490 1495
1491 1496 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
1492 1497 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
1493 1498 in ipy_user_conf.py
1494 1499
1495 1500
1496 1501 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
1497 1502 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
1498 1503 as IPython script.
1499 1504
1500 1505 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
1501 1506
1502 1507 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1503 1508
1504 1509 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
1505 1510 is called before any exception has occurred.
1506 1511
1507 1512 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1508 1513
1509 1514 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
1510 1515 to translate /'s to \'s again.
1511 1516
1512 1517 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
1513 1518 backslash.
1514 1519
1515 1520 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
1516 1521
1517 1522 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1518 1523
1519 1524 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
1520 1525 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
1521 1526 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
1522 1527
1523 1528 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
1524 1529 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
1525 1530
1526 1531 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
1527 1532 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
1528 1533
1529 1534 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
1530 1535
1531 1536 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1532 1537
1533 1538 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
1534 1539 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
1535 1540
1536 1541 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1537 1542 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
1538 1543 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
1539 1544 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
1540 1545 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
1541 1546 mapped to "%" now.
1542 1547 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
1543 1548
1544 1549 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1545 1550
1546 1551 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
1547 1552 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
1548 1553 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
1549 1554 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
1550 1555
1551 1556 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1552 1557
1553 1558 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
1554 1559 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
1555 1560 for shell escapes.
1556 1561
1557 1562 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1558 1563
1559 1564 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
1560 1565 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
1561 1566 vcs_completer.
1562 1567
1563 1568 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1564 1569
1565 1570 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
1566 1571 directly instead!
1567 1572
1568 1573 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
1569 1574
1570 1575 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
1571 1576 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
1572 1577
1573 1578 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
1574 1579 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
1575 1580 explicit.
1576 1581
1577 1582 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
1578 1583 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
1579 1584
1580 1585 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
1581 1586
1582 1587 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
1583 1588
1584 1589 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1585 1590 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
1586 1591 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
1587 1592 implementation for Text is useless.
1588 1593
1589 1594 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
1590 1595
1591 1596 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
1592 1597
1593 1598 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1594 1599
1595 1600 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
1596 1601 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
1597 1602 "profile"
1598 1603
1599 1604 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1600 1605
1601 1606 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
1602 1607 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
1603 1608
1604 1609 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
1605 1610 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
1606 1611
1607 1612
1608 1613 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1609 1614 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
1610 1615 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
1611 1616
1612 1617 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1613 1618
1614 1619 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
1615 1620 with one from UserConfig.
1616 1621
1617 1622 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
1618 1623 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
1619 1624
1620 1625 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
1621 1626 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
1622 1627 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
1623 1628
1624 1629 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
1625 1630
1626 1631 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
1627 1632
1628 1633 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
1629 1634
1630 1635 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
1631 1636
1632 1637 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
1633 1638
1634 1639 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
1635 1640
1636 1641 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
1637 1642
1638 1643 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1639 1644
1640 1645 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
1641 1646 by eval of expr with dots.
1642 1647
1643 1648 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1644 1649
1645 1650 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
1646 1651 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
1647 1652 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
1648 1653 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
1649 1654 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
1650 1655 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
1651 1656
1652 1657 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1653 1658
1654 1659 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
1655 1660 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
1656 1661 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
1657 1662
1658 1663 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
1659 1664 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
1660 1665 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
1661 1666 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
1662 1667 funtionality in ipconfig.
1663 1668
1664 1669 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
1665 1670 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
1666 1671 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
1667 1672 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
1668 1673
1669 1674 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1670 1675
1671 1676 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
1672 1677 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
1673 1678 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
1674 1679 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
1675 1680 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
1676 1681 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
1677 1682 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
1678 1683 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
1679 1684 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
1680 1685 descriptors.
1681 1686
1682 1687 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
1683 1688 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
1684 1689
1685 1690 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
1686 1691 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
1687 1692
1688 1693 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
1689 1694
1690 1695 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
1691 1696
1692 1697 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1693 1698
1694 1699 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
1695 1700 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
1696 1701 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
1697 1702
1698 1703 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
1699 1704 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
1700 1705 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
1701 1706
1702 1707 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1703 1708 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
1704 1709 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
1705 1710 ipy_stock_completers.
1706 1711
1707 1712 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1708 1713
1709 1714 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
1710 1715
1711 1716 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
1712 1717 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
1713 1718 when filtering possible completions.
1714 1719
1715 1720 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
1716 1721
1717 1722 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
1718 1723 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
1719 1724 function
1720 1725
1721 1726
1722 1727 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1723 1728
1724 1729 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
1725 1730 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
1726 1731 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
1727 1732 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
1728 1733 SVN completer.
1729 1734
1730 1735 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
1731 1736 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
1732 1737 name is %led.
1733 1738
1734 1739 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1735 1740
1736 1741 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
1737 1742 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
1738 1743 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
1739 1744
1740 1745 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
1741 1746 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
1742 1747 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
1743 1748 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
1744 1749 hook name is 'complete_command'.
1745 1750
1746 1751 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1747 1752
1748 1753 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
1749 1754 Numeric leftovers.
1750 1755
1751 1756 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
1752 1757 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
1753 1758
1754 1759 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
1755 1760 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
1756 1761
1757 1762 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
1758 1763 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
1759 1764
1760 1765 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
1761 1766 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
1762 1767 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
1763 1768
1764 1769 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1765 1770
1766 1771 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
1767 1772 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
1768 1773 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
1769 1774
1770 1775 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
1771 1776 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
1772 1777
1773 1778 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1774 1779
1775 1780 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
1776 1781 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
1777 1782 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
1778 1783
1779 1784 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1780 1785
1781 1786 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
1782 1787 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
1783 1788 internal crash handler.
1784 1789
1785 1790 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
1786 1791 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
1787 1792 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
1788 1793 at the request of SAGE.
1789 1794
1790 1795 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1791 1796
1792 1797 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
1793 1798 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
1794 1799
1795 1800 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
1796 1801 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
1797 1802 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
1798 1803 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
1799 1804
1800 1805 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
1801 1806 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
1802 1807 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
1803 1808
1804 1809 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1805 1810
1806 1811 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
1807 1812 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
1808 1813 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
1809 1814
1810 1815 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
1811 1816 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
1812 1817
1813 1818 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1814 1819
1815 1820 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
1816 1821 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
1817 1822 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
1818 1823 Stefan.
1819 1824
1820 1825 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1821 1826
1822 1827 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
1823 1828 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
1824 1829 sys.stdout.close().
1825 1830
1826 1831 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1827 1832
1828 1833 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
1829 1834 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
1830 1835 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
1831 1836 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
1832 1837
1833 1838 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
1834 1839 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
1835 1840 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
1836 1841
1837 1842 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
1838 1843 2.5.
1839 1844
1840 1845 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
1841 1846 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
1842 1847 interactively.
1843 1848
1844 1849 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1845 1850
1846 1851 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
1847 1852 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
1848 1853
1849 1854 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1850 1855
1851 1856 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
1852 1857 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
1853 1858 or only files.
1854 1859
1855 1860 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1856 1861
1857 1862 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
1858 1863 they broke unittest
1859 1864
1860 1865 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1861 1866
1862 1867 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
1863 1868 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
1864 1869 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
1865 1870 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
1866 1871
1867 1872 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1868 1873
1869 1874 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
1870 1875 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
1871 1876 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
1872 1877 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
1873 1878 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
1874 1879
1875 1880 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1876 1881
1877 1882 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
1878 1883 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
1879 1884
1880 1885 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1881 1886
1882 1887 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1883 1888 the mode argument).
1884 1889
1885 1890 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1886 1891
1887 1892 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1888 1893 not running under IPython.
1889 1894
1890 1895 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1891 1896 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1892 1897 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1893 1898 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1894 1899 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1895 1900 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1896 1901 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1897 1902 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1898 1903 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1899 1904 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1900 1905 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1901 1906 are still supported.
1902 1907
1903 1908 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1904 1909 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1905 1910 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1906 1911 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1907 1912
1908 1913 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1909 1914 encoding into methods.
1910 1915
1911 1916 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1912 1917
1913 1918 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1914 1919 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1915 1920
1916 1921 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1917 1922
1918 1923 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1919 1924 non existing attributes.
1920 1925
1921 1926 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1922 1927
1923 1928 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1924 1929 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1925 1930
1926 1931 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1927 1932
1928 1933 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1929 1934 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1930 1935
1931 1936 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1932 1937
1933 1938 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1934 1939 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1935 1940 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1936 1941
1937 1942 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1938 1943
1939 1944 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1940 1945 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1941 1946 Stefan van der Walt.
1942 1947
1943 1948 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1944 1949
1945 1950 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1946 1951 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1947 1952
1948 1953 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1949 1954
1950 1955 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1951 1956 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1952 1957 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1953 1958
1954 1959 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1955 1960
1956 1961 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1957 1962 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1958 1963 attributes.
1959 1964
1960 1965 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1961 1966
1962 1967 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1963 1968 commands into the methods implementing them.
1964 1969
1965 1970 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1966 1971
1967 1972 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1968 1973 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1969 1974 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1970 1975
1971 1976 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1972 1977
1973 1978 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1974 1979 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1975 1980
1976 1981 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1977 1982
1978 1983 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1979 1984 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1980 1985
1981 1986 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1982 1987
1983 1988 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1984 1989 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1985 1990 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1986 1991 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1987 1992 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1988 1993 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1989 1994 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1990 1995 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1991 1996 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1992 1997 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1993 1998 the x key to "delete".
1994 1999
1995 2000 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1996 2001
1997 2002 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1998 2003 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1999 2004 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
2000 2005 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
2001 2006
2002 2007 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
2003 2008 prompt
2004 2009
2005 2010 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
2006 2011
2007 2012 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
2008 2013
2009 2014 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
2010 2015 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
2011 2016 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
2012 2017 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
2013 2018
2014 2019 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2015 2020
2016 2021 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
2017 2022 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
2018 2023 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
2019 2024 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
2020 2025 doesn't work properly yet.
2021 2026
2022 2027 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
2023 2028
2024 2029 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
2025 2030 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
2026 2031 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
2027 2032
2028 2033 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
2029 2034
2030 2035 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
2031 2036 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
2032 2037 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
2033 2038 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
2034 2039 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
2035 2040 execute commands.
2036 2041
2037 2042 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2038 2043
2039 2044 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
2040 2045 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
2041 2046
2042 2047 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2043 2048
2044 2049 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
2045 2050 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
2046 2051
2047 2052 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2048 2053
2049 2054 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
2050 2055 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
2051 2056 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
2052 2057
2053 2058 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
2054 2059
2055 2060 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2056 2061
2057 2062 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
2058 2063 Repo tagged and release cut.
2059 2064
2060 2065 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2061 2066
2062 2067 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
2063 2068 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
2064 2069
2065 2070 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
2066 2071 (for %upgrade)
2067 2072
2068 2073 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2069 2074
2070 2075 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
2071 2076 instead of looping 20 times.
2072 2077
2073 2078 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
2074 2079 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
2075 2080 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
2076 2081
2077 2082 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
2078 2083 testing for release on 06/06.
2079 2084
2080 2085 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2081 2086
2082 2087 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
2083 2088 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
2084 2089 live in people's PATH.
2085 2090
2086 2091 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
2087 2092 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
2088 2093 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
2089 2094 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
2090 2095 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
2091 2096
2092 2097 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
2093 2098 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
2094 2099
2095 2100 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2096 2101
2097 2102 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
2098 2103 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
2099 2104
2100 2105 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2101 2106
2102 2107 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
2103 2108 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
2104 2109 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
2105 2110
2106 2111 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2107 2112
2108 2113 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
2109 2114 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
2110 2115 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
2111 2116 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
2112 2117
2113 2118 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
2114 2119 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
2115 2120 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
2116 2121 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
2117 2122
2118 2123 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
2119 2124 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
2120 2125 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
2121 2126 work.
2122 2127
2123 2128 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2124 2129
2125 2130 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
2126 2131 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
2127 2132
2128 2133 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
2129 2134 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
2130 2135 author William Stein.
2131 2136
2132 2137 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
2133 2138 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
2134 2139 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
2135 2140 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
2136 2141 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
2137 2142 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
2138 2143 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
2139 2144 objects more easily.
2140 2145
2141 2146 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2142 2147
2143 2148 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
2144 2149 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
2145 2150 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
2146 2151 by Jeffrey Collins.
2147 2152
2148 2153 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
2149 2154 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
2150 2155 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
2151 2156 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
2152 2157
2153 2158 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
2154 2159 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
2155 2160 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
2156 2161 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
2157 2162
2158 2163 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
2159 2164 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
2160 2165 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
2161 2166 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
2162 2167 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
2163 2168 compatibility)
2164 2169
2165 2170 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
2166 2171 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
2167 2172 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
2168 2173
2169 2174 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
2170 2175 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
2171 2176 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
2172 2177 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
2173 2178 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
2174 2179
2175 2180 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
2176 2181 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
2177 2182 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
2178 2183
2179 2184 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
2180 2185 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
2181 2186 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
2182 2187 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
2183 2188 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
2184 2189 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
2185 2190 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
2186 2191
2187 2192 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
2188 2193 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
2189 2194 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
2190 2195
2191 2196 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
2192 2197 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
2193 2198 it is a real module. Closes #59.
2194 2199
2195 2200 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
2196 2201 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
2197 2202
2198 2203 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2199 2204
2200 2205 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
2201 2206 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
2202 2207 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
2203 2208 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
2204 2209 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
2205 2210 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
2206 2211 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
2207 2212 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
2208 2213 while running under SAGE.
2209 2214
2210 2215 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2211 2216
2212 2217 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
2213 2218 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
2214 2219 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
2215 2220 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
2216 2221
2217 2222 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2218 2223
2219 2224 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
2220 2225 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
2221 2226 updated.
2222 2227
2223 2228 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
2224 2229 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
2225 2230 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
2226 2231 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
2227 2232 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
2228 2233
2229 2234 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
2230 2235 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
2231 2236 so more testing is needed...
2232 2237
2233 2238 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2234 2239
2235 2240 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
2236 2241 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
2237 2242 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
2238 2243 when doing complex debugging.
2239 2244 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
2240 2245 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
2241 2246 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
2242 2247 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
2243 2248
2244 2249 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2245 2250
2246 2251 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
2247 2252 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
2248 2253 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
2249 2254 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
2250 2255
2251 2256 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2252 2257
2253 2258 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
2254 2259 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
2255 2260
2256 2261 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2257 2262
2258 2263 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
2259 2264 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
2260 2265 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
2261 2266 been the one to acquire it.
2262 2267
2263 2268 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2264 2269
2265 2270 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
2266 2271
2267 2272 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2268 2273
2269 2274 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
2270 2275 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
2271 2276 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
2272 2277
2273 2278 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
2274 2279 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
2275 2280 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
2276 2281 properly flush the output cache.
2277 2282
2278 2283 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
2279 2284 half-success (and fail explicitly).
2280 2285
2281 2286 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2282 2287
2283 2288 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
2284 2289 are quoted
2285 2290
2286 2291 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2287 2292
2288 2293 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
2289 2294 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
2290 2295
2291 2296 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
2292 2297 separator, since space is legal in path names.
2293 2298
2294 2299 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2295 2300
2296 2301 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
2297 2302 %upgrade magic
2298 2303
2299 2304 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
2300 2305
2301 2306 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
2302 2307 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
2303 2308 reported by Zachary Pincus.
2304 2309
2305 2310 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2306 2311
2307 2312 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
2308 2313 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
2309 2314
2310 2315 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
2311 2316 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
2312 2317 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
2313 2318 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
2314 2319 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
2315 2320
2316 2321 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2317 2322
2318 2323 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
2319 2324 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
2320 2325
2321 2326 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2322 2327
2323 2328 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
2324 2329 Torsten Marek.
2325 2330
2326 2331 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2327 2332
2328 2333 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
2329 2334 line ranges works again.
2330 2335
2331 2336 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2332 2337
2333 2338 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
2334 2339 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
2335 2340 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
2336 2341 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
2337 2342 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
2338 2343
2339 2344 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
2340 2345 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
2341 2346 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
2342 2347 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
2343 2348 more.
2344 2349
2345 2350 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2346 2351
2347 2352 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
2348 2353 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
2349 2354
2350 2355 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2351 2356
2352 2357 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
2353 2358 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
2354 2359
2355 2360 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2356 2361
2357 2362 * Magic.py: %save works again.
2358 2363
2359 2364 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2360 2365
2361 2366 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
2362 2367
2363 2368 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
2364 2369 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
2365 2370 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
2366 2371
2367 2372 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2368 2373
2369 2374 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
2370 2375 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
2371 2376 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
2372 2377 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
2373 2378
2374 2379 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
2375 2380 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
2376 2381
2377 2382 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
2378 2383 contributed by marienz to close
2379 2384 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
2380 2385
2381 2386 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2382 2387
2383 2388 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
2384 2389
2385 2390 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
2386 2391 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
2387 2392 nonsense.
2388 2393
2389 2394 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2390 2395
2391 2396 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
2392 2397 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
2393 2398
2394 2399 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
2395 2400
2396 2401 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2397 2402
2398 2403 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
2399 2404 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
2400 2405
2401 2406 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2402 2407
2403 2408 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
2404 2409 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
2405 2410 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
2406 2411 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
2407 2412 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
2408 2413 SAGE team.
2409 2414 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
2410 2415 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
2411 2416
2412 2417 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
2413 2418 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
2414 2419 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
2415 2420 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
2416 2421 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
2417 2422
2418 2423 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2419 2424
2420 2425 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
2421 2426 correctly now (on Linux)
2422 2427
2423 2428 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
2424 2429 warnings
2425 2430
2426 2431 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
2427 2432
2428 2433 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
2429 2434
2430 2435
2431 2436 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2432 2437
2433 2438 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
2434 2439 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
2435 2440 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
2436 2441 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
2437 2442 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
2438 2443 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
2439 2444 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
2440 2445 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
2441 2446
2442 2447 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
2443 2448
2444 2449 * aliases can now be %store'd
2445 2450
2446 2451 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
2447 2452 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
2448 2453 at __init__.
2449 2454
2450 2455 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
2451 2456 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
2452 2457
2453 2458 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2454 2459
2455 2460 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
2456 2461 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
2457 2462 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
2458 2463
2459 2464 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2460 2465
2461 2466 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
2462 2467
2463 2468 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2464 2469
2465 2470 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
2466 2471 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
2467 2472 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
2468 2473 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
2469 2474
2470 2475 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
2471 2476 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
2472 2477
2473 2478 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2474 2479
2475 2480 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
2476 2481 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
2477 2482 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
2478 2483 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
2479 2484
2480 2485 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
2481 2486 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
2482 2487 usage.
2483 2488
2484 2489 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
2485 2490 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
2486 2491 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
2487 2492
2488 2493 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
2489 2494
2490 2495 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
2491 2496 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
2492 2497
2493 2498 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
2494 2499 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
2495 2500 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
2496 2501
2497 2502 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
2498 2503
2499 2504 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
2500 2505
2501 2506 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
2502 2507
2503 2508 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
2504 2509 are now more helpful:
2505 2510 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
2506 2511
2507 2512 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2508 2513
2509 2514 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
2510 2515 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
2511 2516
2512 2517 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2513 2518
2514 2519 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
2515 2520 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
2516 2521
2517 2522 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
2518 2523 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
2519 2524 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
2520 2525
2521 2526 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
2522 2527
2523 2528
2524 2529 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2525 2530
2526 2531 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
2527 2532 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
2528 2533
2529 2534 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
2530 2535
2531 2536 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
2532 2537 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
2533 2538 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
2534 2539 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
2535 2540 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
2536 2541 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
2537 2542
2538 2543 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2539 2544
2540 2545 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2541 2546 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2542 2547 \python24\scripts).
2543 2548
2544 2549 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2545 2550 egg.
2546 2551
2547 2552 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2548 2553
2549 2554 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
2550 2555
2551 2556 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2552 2557
2553 2558 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
2554 2559
2555 2560 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2556 2561
2557 2562 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2558 2563 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2559 2564 \python24\scripts).
2560 2565
2561 2566 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2562 2567 egg.
2563 2568
2564 2569 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2565 2570
2566 2571 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
2567 2572 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
2568 2573 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
2569 2574
2570 2575 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
2571 2576 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
2572 2577 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
2573 2578 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
2574 2579
2575 2580 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
2576 2581 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
2577 2582 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
2578 2583 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
2579 2584 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
2580 2585 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
2581 2586 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
2582 2587 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
2583 2588 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
2584 2589 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
2585 2590 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
2586 2591 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
2587 2592
2588 2593 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2589 2594
2590 2595 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
2591 2596 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
2592 2597 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
2593 2598 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
2594 2599
2595 2600 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2596 2601
2597 2602 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
2598 2603 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
2599 2604 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
2600 2605 importing extensions easy.
2601 2606
2602 2607 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
2603 2608 classes / instances of those classes.
2604 2609
2605 2610 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
2606 2611 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
2607 2612 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
2608 2613 the user.
2609 2614
2610 2615 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
2611 2616 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
2612 2617 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
2613 2618
2614 2619 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2615 2620
2616 2621 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
2617 2622 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
2618 2623 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
2619 2624 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
2620 2625 others may also catch any problems. Also made
2621 2626 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
2622 2627 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
2623 2628 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
2624 2629 the method.
2625 2630
2626 2631 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2627 2632
2628 2633 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
2629 2634 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
2630 2635
2631 2636 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2632 2637
2633 2638 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
2634 2639 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
2635 2640 Vivian.
2636 2641
2637 2642 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
2638 2643 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
2639 2644 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
2640 2645 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
2641 2646 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
2642 2647
2643 2648 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2644 2649
2645 2650 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
2646 2651 that returns file contents on exit.
2647 2652
2648 2653 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
2649 2654 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
2650 2655 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
2651 2656 sc files=ls
2652 2657 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
2653 2658 print p,p.mtime
2654 2659
2655 2660 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
2656 2661 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
2657 2662 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
2658 2663 instead of syntax error.
2659 2664
2660 2665
2661 2666 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2662 2667
2663 2668 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
2664 2669 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
2665 2670 data.
2666 2671
2667 2672 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
2668 2673 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
2669 2674 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
2670 2675 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
2671 2676
2672 2677 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
2673 2678 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
2674 2679 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
2675 2680 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
2676 2681 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
2677 2682 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
2678 2683
2679 2684 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2680 2685
2681 2686 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
2682 2687 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
2683 2688 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
2684 2689 current dir.
2685 2690
2686 2691 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
2687 2692 had to create new files.
2688 2693
2689 2694 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
2690 2695 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
2691 2696 future.
2692 2697
2693 2698 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
2694 2699 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
2695 2700 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
2696 2701
2697 2702
2698 2703 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2699 2704
2700 2705 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
2701 2706 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
2702 2707 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
2703 2708 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
2704 2709 later.
2705 2710
2706 2711 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
2707 2712 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
2708 2713
2709 2714 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2710 2715
2711 2716 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
2712 2717 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
2713 2718 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
2714 2719 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
2715 2720 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
2716 2721 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
2717 2722
2718 2723 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2719 2724
2720 2725 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
2721 2726 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
2722 2727 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
2723 2728 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
2724 2729 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
2725 2730 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
2726 2731 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
2727 2732 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
2728 2733 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
2729 2734 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
2730 2735
2731 2736 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
2732 2737 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
2733 2738 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
2734 2739 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
2735 2740
2736 2741 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
2737 2742 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
2738 2743 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
2739 2744 "setup.py install" between changes).
2740 2745
2741 2746 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
2742 2747 if 1:
2743 2748 !ls
2744 2749 !!ls
2745 2750
2746 2751 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2747 2752
2748 2753 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
2749 2754 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
2750 2755 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
2751 2756 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
2752 2757
2753 2758 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
2754 2759 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
2755 2760 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
2756 2761
2757 2762 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2758 2763
2759 2764 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
2760 2765 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
2761 2766 win32.
2762 2767
2763 2768 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
2764 2769
2765 2770 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2766 2771
2767 2772 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
2768 2773 ready for release.
2769 2774
2770 2775 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
2771 2776 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
2772 2777 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
2773 2778 where to copy the info from.
2774 2779
2775 2780 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2776 2781
2777 2782 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
2778 2783 support in the release tools as well.
2779 2784
2780 2785 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2781 2786
2782 2787 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
2783 2788 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
2784 2789 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
2785 2790 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
2786 2791
2787 2792 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2788 2793 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
2789 2794 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
2790 2795
2791 2796 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
2792 2797 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
2793 2798
2794 2799 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
2795 2800 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
2796 2801 printer not to work.
2797 2802
2798 2803 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2799 2804
2800 2805 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
2801 2806 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
2802 2807
2803 2808 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2804 2809
2805 2810 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
2806 2811 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
2807 2812 Moad for help with tracking it down.
2808 2813
2809 2814 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
2810 2815 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
2811 2816 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
2812 2817
2813 2818 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
2814 2819 Ville's patch.
2815 2820
2816 2821 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2817 2822
2818 2823 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
2819 2824 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
2820 2825 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
2821 2826 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
2822 2827 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
2823 2828 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
2824 2829 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
2825 2830
2826 2831 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
2827 2832 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
2828 2833 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
2829 2834
2830 2835 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2831 2836
2832 2837 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
2833 2838 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
2834 2839
2835 2840 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
2836 2841 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
2837 2842 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
2838 2843 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
2839 2844 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
2840 2845 twister).
2841 2846
2842 2847 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
2843 2848 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
2844 2849 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
2845 2850
2846 2851 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
2847 2852 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
2848 2853 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
2849 2854 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
2850 2855 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
2851 2856 something inside the dis module.
2852 2857
2853 2858 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2854 2859
2855 2860 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
2856 2861 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
2857 2862 follows the discussion in
2858 2863 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
2859 2864
2860 2865 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
2861 2866 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
2862 2867 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
2863 2868
2864 2869 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
2865 2870 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
2866 2871 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
2867 2872
2868 2873 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
2869 2874 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
2870 2875 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
2871 2876 speed up this routine.
2872 2877
2873 2878 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
2874 2879 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
2875 2880 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
2876 2881 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
2877 2882 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
2878 2883 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
2879 2884 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
2880 2885 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
2881 2886
2882 2887 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2883 2888 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2884 2889 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2885 2890
2886 2891 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2887 2892 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2888 2893 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2889 2894 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2890 2895 setters don't do anything).
2891 2896
2892 2897 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2893 2898
2894 2899 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2895 2900 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2896 2901 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2897 2902 falling out of sync...)
2898 2903
2899 2904 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2900 2905 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2901 2906 as loops).
2902 2907
2903 2908 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2904 2909 win32 system access.
2905 2910
2906 2911 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2907 2912
2908 2913 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2909 2914 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2910 2915 thread-safe.
2911 2916 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2912 2917 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2913 2918 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2914 2919 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2915 2920 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2916 2921 can still happen.
2917 2922 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2918 2923 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2919 2924 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2920 2925 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2921 2926 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2922 2927 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2923 2928 cleanly.
2924 2929
2925 2930 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2926 2931 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2927 2932 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2928 2933 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2929 2934 users' persisted data.
2930 2935
2931 2936 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2932 2937 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2933 2938 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2934 2939 multiline input (such as macros).
2935 2940
2936 2941 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2937 2942 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2938 2943 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2939 2944 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2940 2945 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2941 2946 informative).
2942 2947
2943 2948 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2944 2949 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2945 2950
2946 2951 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2947 2952 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2948 2953 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2949 2954
2950 2955 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2951 2956 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2952 2957 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2953 2958 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2954 2959 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2955 2960 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2956 2961 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2957 2962 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2958 2963 details.
2959 2964
2960 2965 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2961 2966 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2962 2967 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2963 2968 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2964 2969 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2965 2970
2966 2971 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2967 2972 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2968 2973 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2969 2974 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2970 2975 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2971 2976
2972 2977 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2973 2978 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2974 2979 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2975 2980 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2976 2981 options to %logstart. Closes
2977 2982 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2978 2983 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2979 2984
2980 2985 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2981 2986
2982 2987 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2983 2988 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2984 2989 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2985 2990 list:
2986 2991 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2987 2992
2988 2993 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2989 2994
2990 2995 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2991 2996 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2992 2997 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2993 2998 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2994 2999
2995 3000 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2996 3001 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2997 3002 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2998 3003 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2999 3004 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
3000 3005
3001 3006 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
3002 3007 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
3003 3008 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
3004 3009 true by default.
3005 3010
3006 3011 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
3007 3012 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
3008 3013 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
3009 3014 a special role in the middle of the core code.
3010 3015
3011 3016 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3012 3017
3013 3018 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
3014 3019 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
3015 3020 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
3016 3021 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
3017 3022 version committed).
3018 3023
3019 3024 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
3020 3025 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
3021 3026 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
3022 3027 discussion on the user list.
3023 3028
3024 3029 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
3025 3030 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
3026 3031 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
3027 3032 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
3028 3033
3029 3034 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
3030 3035
3031 3036 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
3032 3037 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
3033 3038 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
3034 3039
3035 3040 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
3036 3041 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
3037 3042 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
3038 3043
3039 3044 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
3040 3045 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
3041 3046 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
3042 3047 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
3043 3048 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
3044 3049 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
3045 3050 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
3046 3051 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
3047 3052 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
3048 3053 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
3049 3054 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
3050 3055 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
3051 3056 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
3052 3057 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
3053 3058 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
3054 3059 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
3055 3060 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
3056 3061 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
3057 3062 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
3058 3063 branch refactoring.
3059 3064
3060 3065 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3061 3066
3062 3067 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
3063 3068 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
3064 3069
3065 3070 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
3066 3071 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
3067 3072 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
3068 3073 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
3069 3074 worked correctly).
3070 3075
3071 3076 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
3072 3077 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
3073 3078 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
3074 3079
3075 3080 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3076 3081
3077 3082 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
3078 3083 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
3079 3084 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
3080 3085 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
3081 3086 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
3082 3087 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
3083 3088 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
3084 3089 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
3085 3090
3086 3091 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3087 3092
3088 3093 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
3089 3094 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
3090 3095 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
3091 3096 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
3092 3097 on this.
3093 3098
3094 3099 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3095 3100
3096 3101 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
3097 3102 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
3098 3103 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
3099 3104 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
3100 3105 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.

3103 3108
3104 3109 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
3105 3110 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
3106 3111 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
3107 3112 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.

3109 3114 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3110 3115
3111 3116 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3112 3117 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
3113 3118 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
3114 3119
3115 3120 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3116 3121
3117 3122 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
3118 3123 startup time.
3119 3124
3120 3125 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
3121 3126 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
3122 3127 it's working in all cases.
3123 3128
3124 3129 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
3125 3130 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
3126 3131 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
3127 3132 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
3128 3133 per-search basis.
3129 3134
3130 3135 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3131 3136
3132 3137 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
3133 3138 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
3134 3139 of a patch by Jorgen.
3135 3140
3136 3141 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3137 3142
3138 3143 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
3139 3144 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
3140 3145 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
3141 3146
3142 3147 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3143 3148
3144 3149 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
3145 3150 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
3146 3151 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
3147 3152 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
3148 3153
3149 3154 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3150 3155
3151 3156 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
3152 3157 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
3153 3158 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
3154 3159 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
3155 3160 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
3156 3161 implementing this functionality.
3157 3162
3158 3163 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3159 3164
3160 3165 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
3161 3166 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
3162 3167 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
3163 3168 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
3164 3169 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
3165 3170 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
3166 3171 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
3167 3172
3168 3173 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3169 3174
3170 3175 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
3171 3176 reported by Stephen Walton.
3172 3177
3173 3178 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3174 3179
3175 3180 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
3176 3181
3177 3182 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
3178 3183 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
3179 3184
3180 3185 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3181 3186
3182 3187 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
3183 3188 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
3184 3189
3185 3190 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
3186 3191 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
3187 3192
3188 3193 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3189 3194
3190 3195 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
3191 3196 finishing.
3192 3197
3193 3198 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
3194 3199 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
3195 3200
3196 3201 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
3197 3202 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
3198 3203 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
3199 3204
3200 3205 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
3201 3206 code, handy in general.
3202 3207
3203 3208 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
3204 3209 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
3205 3210 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
3206 3211
3207 3212 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3208 3213
3209 3214 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
3210 3215 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
3211 3216 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
3212 3217 testing, though.
3213 3218 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
3214 3219 like this before...
3215 3220
3216 3221 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
3217 3222 non-dirs in win32 registry.
3218 3223
3219 3224 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
3220 3225 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
3221 3226
3222 3227 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3223 3228
3224 3229 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
3225 3230 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
3226 3231 F. Mantegazza.
3227 3232
3228 3233 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3229 3234
3230 3235 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
3231 3236 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
3232 3237 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
3233 3238
3234 3239 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
3235 3240 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
3236 3241 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
3237 3242 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
3238 3243 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
3239 3244 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
3240 3245
3241 3246 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3242 3247
3243 3248 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
3244 3249 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
3245 3250 beyond readline-based environments.
3246 3251
3247 3252 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3248 3253
3249 3254 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
3250 3255
3251 3256 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
3252 3257 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
3253 3258 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
3254 3259 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
3255 3260 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
3256 3261
3257 3262 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3258 3263
3259 3264 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
3260 3265 contains non-string attribute. Closes
3261 3266 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
3262 3267
3263 3268 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3264 3269
3265 3270 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
3266 3271
3267 3272 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3268 3273
3269 3274 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
3270 3275 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
3271 3276 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
3272 3277 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
3273 3278 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
3274 3279 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
3275 3280
3276 3281 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
3277 3282
3278 3283 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
3279 3284
3280 3285 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3281 3286
3282 3287 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
3283 3288 invalid $HOME under win32.
3284 3289
3285 3290 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3286 3291
3287 3292 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
3288 3293 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
3289 3294 simpler and a bit faster.
3290 3295
3291 3296 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
3292 3297 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
3293 3298 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
3294 3299 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
3295 3300 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
3296 3301
3297 3302 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
3298 3303 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
3299 3304 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
3300 3305
3301 3306 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
3302 3307 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
3303 3308
3304 3309 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
3305 3310 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
3306 3311 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
3307 3312 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
3308 3313 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
3309 3314 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
3310 3315 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
3311 3316
3312 3317 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
3313 3318
3314 3319 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
3315 3320
3316 3321 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
3317 3322
3318 3323 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
3319 3324 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
3320 3325
3321 3326 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3322 3327
3323 3328 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
3324 3329 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
3325 3330 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
3326 3331 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
3327 3332 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
3328 3333 for the contribution.
3329 3334
3330 3335 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
3331 3336 slightly modified version of the patch in
3332 3337 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
3333 3338 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
3334 3339 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
3335 3340
3336 3341 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3337 3342
3338 3343 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
3339 3344 I/O a bit more.
3340 3345
3341 3346 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
3342 3347 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
3343 3348
3344 3349 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
3345 3350
3346 3351 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3347 3352
3348 3353 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
3349 3354 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
3350 3355 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
3351 3356 readline delimiters configuration to read:
3352 3357
3353 3358 readline_remove_delims -/~
3354 3359
3355 3360
3356 3361 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14

3358 3363 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3359 3364
3360 3365 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
3361 3366 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
3362 3367 <eli@gondolin.net>
3363 3368
3364 3369 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3365 3370
3366 3371 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
3367 3372 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
3368 3373
3369 3374 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3370 3375
3371 3376 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
3372 3377 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
3373 3378 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
3374 3379
3375 3380 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3376 3381
3377 3382 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
3378 3383 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
3379 3384
3380 3385 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3381 3386
3382 3387 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
3383 3388 to usage page (invoked with --help).
3384 3389
3385 3390 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
3386 3391 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
3387 3392 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
3388 3393 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
3389 3394 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
3390 3395 for more details.
3391 3396
3392 3397 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
3393 3398 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
3394 3399 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
3395 3400 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
3396 3401
3397 3402 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3398 3403
3399 3404 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
3400 3405 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
3401 3406 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
3402 3407 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
3403 3408 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
3404 3409
3405 3410 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
3406 3411 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
3407 3412 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
3408 3413
3409 3414 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3410 3415
3411 3416 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
3412 3417
3413 3418 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3414 3419
3415 3420 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
3416 3421 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
3417 3422 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
3418 3423 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
3419 3424 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
3420 3425
3421 3426 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
3422 3427
3423 3428 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3424 3429
3425 3430 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
3426 3431 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
3427 3432 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
3428 3433 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
3429 3434 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
3430 3435
3431 3436 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
3432 3437 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
3433 3438 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
3434 3439 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
3435 3440 take the text parameter.
3436 3441
3437 3442 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
3438 3443 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
3439 3444 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
3440 3445 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
3441 3446 pysh profile to include the line
3442 3447
3443 3448 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
3444 3449
3445 3450 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
3446 3451 delete pysh.py and the line
3447 3452
3448 3453 execfile pysh.py
3449 3454
3450 3455 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
3451 3456
3452 3457 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
3453 3458 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
3454 3459 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
3455 3460 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
3456 3461 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
3457 3462
3458 3463 * pysh.py:

3460 3465 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3461 3466
3462 3467 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
3463 3468 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
3464 3469 want it can still turn it off.
3465 3470
3466 3471 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
3467 3472 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
3468 3473 off by default.
3469 3474
3470 3475 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
3471 3476 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
3472 3477 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
3473 3478 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
3474 3479 calls.

3476 3481 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3477 3482
3478 3483 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
3479 3484 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
3480 3485 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
3481 3486
3482 3487 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3483 3488
3484 3489 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
3485 3490 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
3486 3491 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
3487 3492 (including 0) after the ':' character.
3488 3493
3489 3494 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
3490 3495 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
3491 3496 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
3492 3497 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
3493 3498
3494 3499 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3495 3500
3496 3501 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
3497 3502 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
3498 3503
3499 3504 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
3500 3505 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
3501 3506 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
3502 3507 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
3503 3508 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
3504 3509 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
3505 3510 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
3506 3511 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
3507 3512
3508 3513 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3509 3514
3510 3515 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
3511 3516 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
3512 3517 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
3513 3518 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
3514 3519 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3515 3520 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3516 3521 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
3517 3522 add new completers at runtime.
3518 3523
3519 3524 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3520 3525
3521 3526 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
3522 3527 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
3523 3528 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
3524 3529 ? system.
3525 3530
3526 3531 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
3527 3532 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
3528 3533 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
3529 3534 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
3530 3535 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
3531 3536 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
3532 3537 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
3533 3538 conveninent, so not all is lost.
3534 3539
3535 3540 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
3536 3541
3537 3542 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
3538 3543 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
3539 3544 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
3540 3545 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3541 3546 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3542 3547
3543 3548 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
3544 3549 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
3545 3550 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
3546 3551 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
3547 3552 add:
3548 3553
3549 3554 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
3550 3555 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward

3552 3557 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3553 3558
3554 3559 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
3555 3560 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
3556 3561 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
3557 3562 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
3558 3563
3559 3564 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
3560 3565 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
3561 3566 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
3562 3567 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
3563 3568 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
3564 3569 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
3565 3570 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
3566 3571 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
3567 3572 further, simply bind them to any other name.
3568 3573
3569 3574 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3570 3575
3571 3576 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
3572 3577 prompt namespace handling.
3573 3578
3574 3579 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3575 3580
3576 3581 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
3577 3582 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
3578 3583 trips the emacs python mode).
3579 3584 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
3580 3585 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
3581 3586 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
3582 3587 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
3583 3588 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
3584 3589 calls will be made at runtime.
3585 3590
3586 3591 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3587 3592
3588 3593 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
3589 3594 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
3590 3595 the call to %history.
3591 3596

3594 3599 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3595 3600
3596 3601 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
3597 3602 ipmagic() function calls.
3598 3603
3599 3604 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
3600 3605 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
3601 3606
3602 3607 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3603 3608
3604 3609 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
3605 3610 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
3606 3611 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
3607 3612 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
3608 3613 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
3609 3614 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
3610 3615 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
3611 3616 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
3612 3617
3613 3618 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3614 3619
3615 3620 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
3616 3621 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
3617 3622 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
3618 3623 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
3619 3624 Ville Vainio.

3621 3626 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3622 3627
3623 3628 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
3624 3629 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
3625 3630 define the ones they personally like.
3626 3631
3627 3632 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3628 3633
3629 3634 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
3630 3635 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
3631 3636
3632 3637 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3633 3638
3634 3639 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
3635 3640 into keys (for prompts, for example).
3636 3641
3637 3642 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
3638 3643 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
3639 3644 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
3640 3645 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
3641 3646 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
3642 3647 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
3643 3648 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
3644 3649 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
3645 3650
3646 3651 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
3647 3652 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
3648 3653 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
3649 3654 modified version of the original Debian patch at
3650 3655 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

3653 3658
3654 3659 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
3655 3660 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
3656 3661 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
3657 3662
3658 3663 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
3659 3664 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
3660 3665 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
3661 3666

3664 3669 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3665 3670
3666 3671 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
3667 3672 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
3668 3673 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
3669 3674 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
3670 3675 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
3671 3676 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
3672 3677 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
3673 3678 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
3674 3679 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
3675 3680 system is a separate implementation).
3676 3681
3677 3682 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
3678 3683 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
3679 3684 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
3680 3685 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
3681 3686 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
3682 3687 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
3683 3688 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
3684 3689 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
3685 3690 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
3686 3691 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
3687 3692 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

3690 3695
3691 3696 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
3692 3697 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
3693 3698 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
3694 3699 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
3695 3700 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
3696 3701 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
3697 3702 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
3698 3703 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).

3700 3705 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3701 3706
3702 3707 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
3703 3708 previous call produced a syntax error.
3704 3709
3705 3710 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3706 3711 classes without constructor.
3707 3712
3708 3713 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3709 3714
3710 3715 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
3711 3716 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
3712 3717 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
3713 3718 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
3714 3719 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
3715 3720 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
3716 3721 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

3721 3726 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
3722 3727
3723 3728 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3724 3729
3725 3730 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
3726 3731 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
3727 3732 optimizations.
3728 3733
3729 3734 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
3730 3735 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
3731 3736
3732 3737 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3733 3738
3734 3739 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
3735 3740 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
3736 3741 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
3737 3742 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
3738 3743 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
3739 3744 avoid annoying the lists further.

3744 3749
3745 3750 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
3746 3751 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
3747 3752 norm definitions.
3748 3753 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
3749 3754 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
3750 3755 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
3751 3756
3752 3757 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
3753 3758 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
3754 3759 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
3755 3760 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
3756 3761 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
3757 3762
3758 3763 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
3759 3764 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
3760 3765 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
3761 3766 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
3762 3767
3763 3768 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
3764 3769 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
3765 3770 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
3766 3771 fixes.
3767 3772
3768 3773 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
3769 3774 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
3770 3775 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
3771 3776 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
3772 3777 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
3773 3778 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
3774 3779 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

3779 3784
3780 3785 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
3781 3786 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
3782 3787 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
3783 3788 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
3784 3789 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
3785 3790 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
3786 3791 Panel.
3787 3792
3788 3793 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
3789 3794 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
3790 3795 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
3791 3796 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
3792 3797 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.

3795 3800
3796 3801 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
3797 3802 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.

3803 3808 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
3804 3809 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
3805 3810 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
3806 3811 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
3807 3812 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
3808 3813 python shell.
3809 3814
3810 3815 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
3811 3816 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
3812 3817 on assignments. This closes
3813 3818 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
3814 3819 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
3815 3820 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
3816 3821
3817 3822 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3818 3823
3819 3824 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
3820 3825 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
3821 3826
3822 3827 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
3823 3828
3824 3829 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3825 3830
3826 3831 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
3827 3832 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
3828 3833
3829 3834 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3830 3835
3831 3836 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3832 3837 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
3833 3838 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
3834 3839
3835 3840 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3836 3841
3837 3842 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
3838 3843 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
3839 3844 'parent' object were present on the same line.
3840 3845
3841 3846 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3842 3847
3843 3848 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
3844 3849 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
3845 3850 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
3846 3851
3847 3852 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
3848 3853 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
3849 3854 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
3850 3855
3851 3856 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3852 3857
3853 3858 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
3854 3859 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
3855 3860
3856 3861 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3857 3862
3858 3863 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
3859 3864 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
3860 3865 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
3861 3866
3862 3867 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3863 3868
3864 3869 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
3865 3870 reported by Prabhu.
3866 3871 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
3867 3872 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
3868 3873 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
3869 3874
3870 3875 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
3871 3876 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
3872 3877
3873 3878 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
3874 3879 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
3875 3880 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
3876 3881 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
3877 3882 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
3878 3883 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
3879 3884
3880 3885 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
3881 3886
3882 3887 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3883 3888
3884 3889 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3885 3890 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3886 3891 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3887 3892 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3888 3893
3889 3894 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3890 3895 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3891 3896
3892 3897 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3893 3898 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3894 3899 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3895 3900 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3896 3901 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3897 3902 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3898 3903 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3899 3904
3900 3905 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3901 3906 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3902 3907 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3903 3908
3904 3909 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3905 3910 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3906 3911 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3907 3912 before.
3908 3913
3909 3914 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3910 3915
3911 3916 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3912 3917 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3913 3918 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3914 3919 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3915 3920
3916 3921 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3917 3922 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3918 3923 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3919 3924 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3920 3925 timing very short-running code.
3921 3926
3922 3927 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3923 3928 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3924 3929 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3925 3930 utility.
3926 3931
3927 3932 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3928 3933 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3929 3934 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3930 3935 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3931 3936 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3932 3937 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3933 3938 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3934 3939 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3935 3940
3936 3941 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3937 3942 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3938 3943 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3939 3944
3940 3945 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3941 3946 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3942 3947 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3943 3948 is for).
3944 3949
3945 3950 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3946 3951 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3947 3952 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3948 3953 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3949 3954 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3950 3955
3951 3956 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3952 3957
3953 3958 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3954 3959 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3955 3960 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3956 3961 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3957 3962 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3958 3963
3959 3964 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3960 3965 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3961 3966 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3962 3967 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3963 3968 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3964 3969 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3965 3970
3966 3971 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3967 3972
3968 3973 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3969 3974 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3970 3975
3971 3976 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3972 3977
3973 3978 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3974 3979 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3975 3980 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3976 3981 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3977 3982
3978 3983 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3979 3984
3980 3985 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3981 3986
3982 3987 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3983 3988 setting with -d option.
3984 3989
3985 3990 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3986 3991 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3987 3992 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3988 3993 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3989 3994
3990 3995 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3991 3996
3992 3997 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3993 3998 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3994 3999
3995 4000 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3996 4001 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3997 4002 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3998 4003 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3999 4004 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
4000 4005 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
4001 4006 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
4002 4007 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
4003 4008 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
4004 4009 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
4005 4010 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
4006 4011
4007 4012 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4008 4013
4009 4014 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
4010 4015 cache when empty lines were present.
4011 4016
4012 4017 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4013 4018
4014 4019 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
4015 4020 options for WX and GTK.
4016 4021
4017 4022 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4018 4023
4019 4024 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
4020 4025 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
4021 4026 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
4022 4027 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
4023 4028 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
4024 4029 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
4025 4030 limitations, this is a great improvement.
4026 4031
4027 4032 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
4028 4033 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
4029 4034
4030 4035 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4031 4036
4032 4037 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
4033 4038 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
4034 4039 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
4035 4040 many thanks.
4036 4041
4037 4042 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
4038 4043 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
4039 4044 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
4040 4045
4041 4046 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4042 4047
4043 4048 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
4044 4049 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
4045 4050 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
4046 4051
4047 4052 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
4048 4053
4049 4054 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4050 4055
4051 4056 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
4052 4057 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
4053 4058 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
4054 4059
4055 4060 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4056 4061
4057 4062 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
4058 4063 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
4059 4064
4060 4065 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4061 4066
4062 4067 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
4063 4068 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
4064 4069 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
4065 4070 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
4066 4071 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
4067 4072 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
4068 4073 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
4069 4074
4070 4075 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4071 4076
4072 4077 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
4073 4078 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
4074 4079 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
4075 4080 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
4076 4081
4077 4082 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
4078 4083 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
4079 4084
4080 4085 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4081 4086
4082 4087 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
4083 4088 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
4084 4089
4085 4090 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
4086 4091 use throughout ipython.
4087 4092
4088 4093 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
4089 4094 OInspect.getdoc() function.
4090 4095
4091 4096 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
4092 4097 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
4093 4098 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
4094 4099 handling cross-thread exceptions).
4095 4100
4096 4101 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4097 4102
4098 4103 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
4099 4104 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
4100 4105 report by Francesc Alted.
4101 4106
4102 4107 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4103 4108
4104 4109 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
4105 4110 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
4106 4111
4107 4112 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4108 4113
4109 4114 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
4110 4115 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
4111 4116 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
4112 4117 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
4113 4118 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
4114 4119 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
4115 4120 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
4116 4121 correctly set.
4117 4122
4118 4123 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4119 4124
4120 4125 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
4121 4126 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
4122 4127 import requirement of PEP-328.
4123 4128
4124 4129 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
4125 4130 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
4126 4131 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
4127 4132 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
4128 4133
4129 4134 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
4130 4135
4131 4136 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4132 4137
4133 4138 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
4134 4139 via a normal python function call.
4135 4140
4136 4141 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
4137 4142 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
4138 4143 2.4.
4139 4144
4140 4145 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4141 4146
4142 4147 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
4143 4148 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
4144 4149 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
4145 4150 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
4146 4151 is given to the user).
4147 4152
4148 4153 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4149 4154
4150 4155 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
4151 4156 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
4152 4157 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
4153 4158 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
4154 4159
4155 4160 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
4156 4161 python 2.2.
4157 4162
4158 4163 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
4159 4164 banner arg for embedded customization.
4160 4165
4161 4166 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
4162 4167 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
4163 4168 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
4164 4169 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
4165 4170 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
4166 4171 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
4167 4172
4168 4173 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
4169 4174 minor changes to debian dir.
4170 4175
4171 4176 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
4172 4177 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
4173 4178 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
4174 4179 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).

4176 4181 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4177 4182
4178 4183 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
4179 4184 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
4180 4185 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
4181 4186 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
4182 4187 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
4183 4188
4184 4189 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4185 4190
4186 4191 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
4187 4192 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
4188 4193
4189 4194 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4190 4195
4191 4196 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
4192 4197 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
4193 4198
4194 4199 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
4195 4200
4196 4201 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4197 4202
4198 4203 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
4199 4204 updated.
4200 4205
4201 4206 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4202 4207
4203 4208 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
4204 4209 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
4205 4210 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
4206 4211 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
4207 4212 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
4208 4213
4209 4214 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
4210 4215 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
4211 4216 split regexp. Closes
4212 4217 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
4213 4218 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
4214 4219 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
4215 4220 extensions.
4216 4221
4217 4222 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
4218 4223 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
4219 4224 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
4220 4225 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
4221 4226 for generic code and for matplotlib.
4222 4227
4223 4228 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
4224 4229 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
4225 4230 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
4226 4231 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
4227 4232
4228 4233 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
4229 4234 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
4230 4235
4231 4236 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
4232 4237 fine-tune banner.
4233 4238
4234 4239 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
4235 4240 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
4236 4241
4237 4242 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4238 4243
4239 4244 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
4240 4245 were missing.
4241 4246
4242 4247 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
4243 4248 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
4244 4249 valid at the command line.
4245 4250
4246 4251 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
4247 4252 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
4248 4253
4249 4254 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4250 4255
4251 4256 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
4252 4257 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
4253 4258 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
4254 4259
4255 4260 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4256 4261
4257 4262 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
4258 4263 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
4259 4264 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
4260 4265 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
4261 4266 continue to use the standard profiler.
4262 4267
4263 4268 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4264 4269
4265 4270 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
4266 4271 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
4267 4272 close.
4268 4273
4269 4274 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4270 4275
4271 4276 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
4272 4277 in Magic and ultraTB.
4273 4278
4274 4279 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
4275 4280
4276 4281 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
4277 4282 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
4278 4283 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
4279 4284 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
4280 4285
4281 4286 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
4282 4287 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
4283 4288 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
4284 4289 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
4285 4290 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
4286 4291 infrastructure in place.
4287 4292
4288 4293 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4289 4294
4290 4295 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
4291 4296
4292 4297 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
4293 4298 the pylab profile.
4294 4299
4295 4300 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
4296 4301
4297 4302 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4298 4303
4299 4304 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
4300 4305 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
4301 4306 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
4302 4307 itself.
4303 4308
4304 4309 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
4305 4310 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
4306 4311 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
4307 4312 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
4308 4313 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
4309 4314 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
4310 4315 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
4311 4316 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
4312 4317
4313 4318 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
4314 4319 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
4315 4320
4316 4321 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4317 4322
4318 4323 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
4319 4324 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
4320 4325 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
4321 4326
4322 4327 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4323 4328
4324 4329 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
4325 4330 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
4326 4331
4327 4332 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4328 4333
4329 4334 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
4330 4335
4331 4336 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
4332 4337
4333 4338 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4334 4339
4335 4340 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
4336 4341 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
4337 4342 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
4338 4343
4339 4344 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4340 4345
4341 4346 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
4342 4347 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
4343 4348 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
4344 4349 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
4345 4350 works.
4346 4351
4347 4352 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
4348 4353 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
4349 4354 practice.
4350 4355
4351 4356 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4352 4357
4353 4358 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
4354 4359 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
4355 4360 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
4356 4361
4357 4362 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4358 4363
4359 4364 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
4360 4365 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
4361 4366 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
4362 4367 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
4363 4368
4364 4369 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4365 4370
4366 4371 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
4367 4372 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
4368 4373 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
4369 4374 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
4370 4375
4371 4376 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
4372 4377
4373 4378 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4374 4379
4375 4380 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
4376 4381 fail for any number.
4377 4382 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
4378 4383 empty bookmarks.
4379 4384
4380 4385 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
4381 4386
4382 4387 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4383 4388
4384 4389 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
4385 4390
4386 4391 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
4387 4392 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
4388 4393
4389 4394 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
4390 4395 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
4391 4396
4392 4397 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4393 4398
4394 4399 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
4395 4400 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
4396 4401 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
4397 4402 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
4398 4403 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
4399 4404
4400 4405 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4401 4406
4402 4407 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
4403 4408 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
4404 4409
4405 4410 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4406 4411
4407 4412 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4408 4413 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
4409 4414 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
4410 4415 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
4411 4416
4412 4417 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
4413 4418 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
4414 4419 Schmolck.
4415 4420
4416 4421 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4417 4422
4418 4423 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
4419 4424
4420 4425 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
4421 4426 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
4422 4427
4423 4428 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
4424 4429 optimizations.
4425 4430
4426 4431 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
4427 4432 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
4428 4433
4429 4434 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4430 4435 --Started changelog.
4431 4436 --make clear do what it say it does
4432 4437 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
4433 4438 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
4434 4439 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
4435 4440 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
4436 4441 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
4437 4442 can be done for other cases.
4438 4443 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
4439 4444 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
4440 4445 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
4441 4446
4442 4447 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4443 4448 --added logfile rotation
4444 4449 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
4445 4450
4446 4451 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4447 4452 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
4448 4453 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
4449 4454 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
4450 4455 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
4451 4456 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
4452 4457 --added global logfile option
4453 4458 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
4454 4459 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
4455 4460
4456 4461 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4457 4462 --added a README
4458 4463 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
4459 4464 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
4460 4465 bug or feature.
4461 4466 --changed rc file for new behavior
4462 4467
4463 4468 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4464 4469
4465 4470 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
4466 4471 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
4467 4472 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
4468 4473
4469 4474 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
4470 4475 information which was there from Janko's original code:
4471 4476
4472 4477 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
4473 4478
4474 4479 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
4475 4480 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
4476 4481 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
4477 4482 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
4478 4483 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
4479 4484 and prepended with a #.
4480 4485
4481 4486 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
4482 4487 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
4483 4488
4484 4489 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4485 4490
4486 4491 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
4487 4492 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
4488 4493
4489 4494 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4490 4495
4491 4496 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
4492 4497 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
4493 4498
4494 4499 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4495 4500
4496 4501 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
4497 4502 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
4498 4503 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
4499 4504
4500 4505 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4501 4506
4502 4507 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
4503 4508 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
4504 4509
4505 4510 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
4506 4511 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
4507 4512 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
4508 4513 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
4509 4514 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
4510 4515 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
4511 4516 be implemented later).
4512 4517
4513 4518 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
4514 4519 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
4515 4520 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
4516 4521 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
4517 4522
4518 4523 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
4519 4524 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
4520 4525 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
4521 4526
4522 4527 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
4523 4528 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
4524 4529
4525 4530 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
4526 4531 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
4527 4532 readline make it impossible to go further.
4528 4533
4529 4534 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4530 4535
4531 4536 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
4532 4537 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
4533 4538
4534 4539 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4535 4540
4536 4541 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
4537 4542 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
4538 4543 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
4539 4544 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
4540 4545
4541 4546 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
4542 4547 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
4543 4548 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
4544 4549 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
4545 4550
4546 4551 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
4547 4552 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
4548 4553 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
4549 4554 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
4550 4555 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
4551 4556 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
4552 4557 problem.
4553 4558
4554 4559 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
4555 4560 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
4556 4561
4557 4562 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
4558 4563 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
4559 4564 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
4560 4565
4561 4566 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4562 4567
4563 4568 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
4564 4569 continue prompts.
4565 4570
4566 4571 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
4567 4572 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
4568 4573 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
4569 4574 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
4570 4575 byte-compilation saves time.
4571 4576
4572 4577 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4573 4578
4574 4579 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
4575 4580 -NUM', which was recently broken.
4576 4581
4577 4582 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
4578 4583 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
4579 4584
4580 4585 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
4581 4586 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
4582 4587 common cases where it's a problem.
4583 4588
4584 4589 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4585 4590
4586 4591 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
4587 4592 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
4588 4593 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
4589 4594 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
4590 4595 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
4591 4596 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
4592 4597
4593 4598 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4594 4599
4595 4600 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
4596 4601 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
4597 4602
4598 4603 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
4599 4604 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
4600 4605 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
4601 4606 structure as win_exec_ext.
4602 4607
4603 4608 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
4604 4609 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
4605 4610
4606 4611 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
4607 4612 delete aliases.
4608 4613
4609 4614 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
4610 4615 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
4611 4616
4612 4617 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4613 4618
4614 4619 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
4615 4620 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
4616 4621
4617 4622 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4618 4623
4619 4624 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
4620 4625 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
4621 4626
4622 4627 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
4623 4628 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
4624 4629
4625 4630 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
4626 4631 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
4627 4632 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
4628 4633 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
4629 4634 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
4630 4635 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
4631 4636
4632 4637 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
4633 4638 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
4634 4639 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
4635 4640
4636 4641 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
4637 4642 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
4638 4643 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
4639 4644
4640 4645 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
4641 4646 via an extra $. For example:
4642 4647
4643 4648 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
4644 4649
4645 4650 In [8]: !echo $PATH
4646 4651 a python variable
4647 4652
4648 4653 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
4649 4654 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
4650 4655
4651 4656 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
4652 4657 things prematurely.
4653 4658
4654 4659 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
4655 4660 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
4656 4661
4657 4662 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
4658 4663 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
4659 4664 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
4660 4665 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
4661 4666 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
4662 4667 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
4663 4668 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
4664 4669 programs in the user's path is obtained.
4665 4670
4666 4671 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
4667 4672 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
4668 4673 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
4669 4674 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
4670 4675 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
4671 4676 with the old system).
4672 4677
4673 4678 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4674 4679
4675 4680 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
4676 4681 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
4677 4682
4678 4683 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
4679 4684 call to eval.
4680 4685 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
4681 4686 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
4682 4687 in.
4683 4688
4684 4689 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4685 4690
4686 4691 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
4687 4692 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
4688 4693 confusion).
4689 4694
4690 4695 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
4691 4696 check for Windows users.
4692 4697
4693 4698 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
4694 4699 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
4695 4700 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
4696 4701 download it.
4697 4702
4698 4703 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4699 4704
4700 4705 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
4701 4706 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
4702 4707 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
4703 4708 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
4704 4709 of IDLE's out).
4705 4710
4706 4711 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
4707 4712 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
4708 4713 eventually.
4709 4714 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
4710 4715
4711 4716 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4712 4717
4713 4718 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
4714 4719 list of auto-defined aliases.
4715 4720
4716 4721 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4717 4722
4718 4723 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
4719 4724 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
4720 4725 things under Windows).
4721 4726
4722 4727 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4723 4728
4724 4729 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
4725 4730 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
4726 4731 reported by Thorsten.
4727 4732
4728 4733 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4729 4734
4730 4735 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
4731 4736 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
4732 4737 for all examples and the manual as well.
4733 4738
4734 4739 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4735 4740
4736 4741 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
4737 4742 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
4738 4743 inherit from BasePrompt.
4739 4744
4740 4745 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
4741 4746 with python version (since paths are fixed).
4742 4747
4743 4748 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
4744 4749 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
4745 4750 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
4746 4751 defaults.
4747 4752 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
4748 4753 this fix manually!
4749 4754
4750 4755 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
4751 4756 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
4752 4757 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
4753 4758 distutils).
4754 4759
4755 4760 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
4756 4761 usage of new '\D' escape.
4757 4762
4758 4763 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
4759 4764 lacks os.getuid())
4760 4765 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
4761 4766 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
4762 4767 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
4763 4768 handling mechanism.
4764 4769 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
4765 4770 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
4766 4771 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
4767 4772 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
4768 4773 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
4769 4774 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
4770 4775 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
4771 4776
4772 4777 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4773 4778
4774 4779 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
4775 4780 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
4776 4781 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
4777 4782
4778 4783 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
4779 4784 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
4780 4785 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
4781 4786 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
4782 4787 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
4783 4788 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
4784 4789 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
4785 4790 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4786 4791
4787 4792 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
4788 4793 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
4789 4794 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
4790 4795 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
4791 4796 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
4792 4797 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
4793 4798 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
4794 4799 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
4795 4800
4796 4801 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
4797 4802 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
4798 4803 functions uniform.
4799 4804 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
4800 4805
4801 4806 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
4802 4807 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
4803 4808 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
4804 4809 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
4805 4810 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
4806 4811 use to parse their options.
4807 4812
4808 4813 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
4809 4814 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
4810 4815 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
4811 4816
4812 4817 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
4813 4818 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
4814 4819 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
4815 4820 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
4816 4821 via the prompt_specials.
4817 4822
4818 4823 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4819 4824
4820 4825 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
4821 4826 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
4822 4827 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
4823 4828 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
4824 4829 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
4825 4830 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4826 4831 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
4827 4832 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
4828 4833
4829 4834 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4830 4835
4831 4836 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
4832 4837 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
4833 4838 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
4834 4839
4835 4840 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4836 4841
4837 4842 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
4838 4843 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
4839 4844
4840 4845 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4841 4846
4842 4847 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
4843 4848 parens would get passed to the shell.
4844 4849
4845 4850 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4846 4851
4847 4852 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
4848 4853 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
4849 4854
4850 4855 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
4851 4856 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
4852 4857 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
4853 4858 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
4854 4859 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
4855 4860
4856 4861 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
4857 4862 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
4858 4863 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
4859 4864 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
4860 4865
4861 4866 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
4862 4867
4863 4868 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4864 4869
4865 4870 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
4866 4871 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
4867 4872 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4868 4873
4869 4874 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
4870 4875 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
4871 4876 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
4872 4877 official documentation.
4873 4878
4874 4879 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4875 4880
4876 4881 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
4877 4882 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
4878 4883 explicit filename.
4879 4884
4880 4885 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4881 4886
4882 4887 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4883 4888 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4884 4889 case.
4885 4890
4886 4891 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4887 4892 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4888 4893 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4889 4894
4890 4895 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
4891 4896
4892 4897 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4893 4898
4894 4899 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4895 4900 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4896 4901 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4897 4902 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4898 4903 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4899 4904 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4900 4905 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4901 4906 any changes to python proper.
4902 4907
4903 4908 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4904 4909 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4905 4910 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4906 4911 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4907 4912 Schmolck.
4908 4913
4909 4914 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4910 4915
4911 4916 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4912 4917 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4913 4918 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4914 4919 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4915 4920
4916 4921 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4917 4922
4918 4923 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4919 4924 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4920 4925 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4921 4926 name).
4922 4927
4923 4928 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4924 4929 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4925 4930 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4926 4931 Francois Pinard.
4927 4932
4928 4933 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4929 4934
4930 4935 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4931 4936 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4932 4937 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4933 4938 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4934 4939 not work.
4935 4940
4936 4941 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4937 4942
4938 4943 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4939 4944 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4940 4945 distinguishes stdout/err.
4941 4946
4942 4947 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4943 4948 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4944 4949 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4945 4950 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4946 4951 the standard library.
4947 4952
4948 4953 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4949 4954 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4950 4955
4951 4956 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4952 4957 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4953 4958
4954 4959 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4955 4960
4956 4961 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4957 4962 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4958 4963 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4959 4964 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4960 4965 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4961 4966 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4962 4967
4963 4968 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4964 4969
4965 4970 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4966 4971 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4967 4972 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4968 4973 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4969 4974
4970 4975 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4971 4976
4972 4977 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4973 4978 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4974 4979 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4975 4980 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4976 4981
4977 4982 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4978 4983
4979 4984 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4980 4985 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4981 4986 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4982 4987 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4983 4988 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4984 4989 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4985 4990 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4986 4991 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4987 4992
4988 4993 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4989 4994
4990 4995 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4991 4996 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4992 4997
4993 4998 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4994 4999
4995 5000 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4996 5001 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4997 5002 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4998 5003 very short.
4999 5004
5000 5005 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5001 5006
5002 5007 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
5003 5008 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
5004 5009 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
5005 5010 this before making it permanent.
5006 5011
5007 5012 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
5008 5013 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
5009 5014 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
5010 5015 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
5011 5016
5012 5017 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5013 5018
5014 5019 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
5015 5020 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
5016 5021
5017 5022 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5018 5023
5019 5024 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
5020 5025 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
5021 5026 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
5022 5027 cases I've missed.
5023 5028
5024 5029 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5025 5030
5026 5031 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
5027 5032 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
5028 5033 system would be triggered for @p.
5029 5034
5030 5035 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
5031 5036 cleanups, code unmodified.
5032 5037
5033 5038 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
5034 5039 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
5035 5040 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
5036 5041 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
5037 5042 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
5038 5043 The actual changes affect many files.
5039 5044
5040 5045 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5041 5046
5042 5047 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
5043 5048 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
5044 5049 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
5045 5050
5046 5051 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5047 5052
5048 5053 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
5049 5054 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
5050 5055
5051 5056 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5052 5057
5053 5058 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
5054 5059 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
5055 5060 numpy list.
5056 5061
5057 5062 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5058 5063
5059 5064 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
5060 5065 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
5061 5066 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
5062 5067 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
5063 5068
5064 5069 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5065 5070
5066 5071 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
5067 5072 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
5068 5073 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
5069 5074 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
5070 5075
5071 5076 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
5072 5077 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
5073 5078
5074 5079 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5075 5080
5076 5081 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
5077 5082 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
5078 5083 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
5079 5084 Collins.
5080 5085
5081 5086 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
5082 5087
5083 5088 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5084 5089
5085 5090 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
5086 5091 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
5087 5092 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
5088 5093
5089 5094 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5090 5095
5091 5096 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
5092 5097 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
5093 5098 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
5094 5099 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
5095 5100
5096 5101 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
5097 5102 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
5098 5103 __getitem__ and __call__.
5099 5104
5100 5105 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
5101 5106
5102 5107 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5103 5108
5104 5109 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
5105 5110 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
5106 5111 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
5107 5112 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
5108 5113
5109 5114 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
5110 5115 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
5111 5116 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
5112 5117 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
5113 5118 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
5114 5119 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
5115 5120 necessary.
5116 5121
5117 5122 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
5118 5123 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
5119 5124 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
5120 5125
5121 5126 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
5122 5127 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
5123 5128 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
5124 5129 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
5125 5130
5126 5131 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
5127 5132 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
5128 5133 generators.
5129 5134
5130 5135 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
5131 5136 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
5132 5137 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
5133 5138 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
5134 5139 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
5135 5140 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
5136 5141 potentially dangerous eval() again.
5137 5142
5138 5143 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
5139 5144 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
5140 5145 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
5141 5146 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
5142 5147 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
5143 5148
5144 5149 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
5145 5150 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
5146 5151 edit under some circumstances.
5147 5152 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
5148 5153 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
5149 5154 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
5150 5155 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
5151 5156 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
5152 5157 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
5153 5158 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
5154 5159 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
5155 5160 need more testing.
5156 5161
5157 5162 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5158 5163
5159 5164 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
5160 5165 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
5161 5166 and simpler code.
5162 5167
5163 5168 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5164 5169
5165 5170 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
5166 5171 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
5167 5172 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
5168 5173 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
5169 5174 even if they were contiguous.
5170 5175 (l1norm): Added this function.
5171 5176 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
5172 5177 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
5173 5178 and speed.
5174 5179
5175 5180 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5176 5181
5177 5182 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
5178 5183 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
5179 5184 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
5180 5185
5181 5186 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5182 5187
5183 5188 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
5184 5189 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
5185 5190 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
5186 5191
5187 5192 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
5188 5193 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
5189 5194 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
5190 5195
5191 5196 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5192 5197
5193 5198 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
5194 5199 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
5195 5200 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
5196 5201 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
5197 5202 activity.
5198 5203
5199 5204 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5200 5205
5201 5206 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
5202 5207 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
5203 5208 Numeric.identity)
5204 5209
5205 5210 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5206 5211
5207 5212 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
5208 5213 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
5209 5214 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
5210 5215
5211 5216 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5212 5217
5213 5218 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
5214 5219 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
5215 5220 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
5216 5221 ipython behaves like normal python does.
5217 5222
5218 5223 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
5219 5224 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
5220 5225 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
5221 5226 is implemented).
5222 5227
5223 5228 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5224 5229
5225 5230 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
5226 5231 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
5227 5232 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
5228 5233
5229 5234 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
5230 5235 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
5231 5236 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
5232 5237 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
5233 5238 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
5234 5239
5235 5240 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
5236 5241
5237 5242 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5238 5243
5239 5244 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
5240 5245 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
5241 5246 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
5242 5247
5243 5248 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5244 5249
5245 5250 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
5246 5251 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
5247 5252 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
5248 5253
5249 5254 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
5250 5255 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
5251 5256 crash report from Prabhu.
5252 5257
5253 5258 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5254 5259
5255 5260 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
5256 5261 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
5257 5262 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
5258 5263 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
5259 5264 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
5260 5265 also be useful in other cases.
5261 5266
5262 5267 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
5263 5268 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
5264 5269 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
5265 5270
5266 5271 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
5267 5272
5268 5273 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5269 5274
5270 5275 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
5271 5276 installing for a new user under Windows.
5272 5277
5273 5278 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5274 5279
5275 5280 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
5276 5281 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
5277 5282 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
5278 5283 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
5279 5284 there.
5280 5285
5281 5286 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
5282 5287 info to crash reports.
5283 5288
5284 5289 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
5285 5290 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
5286 5291 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
5287 5292 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
5288 5293
5289 5294 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5290 5295
5291 5296 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
5292 5297 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
5293 5298 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
5294 5299 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
5295 5300
5296 5301 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5297 5302
5298 5303 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
5299 5304 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
5300 5305
5301 5306 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5302 5307
5303 5308 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
5304 5309 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
5305 5310
5306 5311 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
5307 5312
5308 5313 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5309 5314
5310 5315 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
5311 5316 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
5312 5317 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
5313 5318
5314 5319 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
5315 5320 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
5316 5321 with the new auto-indent option.
5317 5322
5318 5323 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5319 5324
5320 5325 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
5321 5326 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
5322 5327 this class from the main Shell class.
5323 5328
5324 5329 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
5325 5330 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
5326 5331 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
5327 5332 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
5328 5333 option).
5329 5334
5330 5335 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
5331 5336 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
5332 5337 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
5333 5338 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
5334 5339 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
5335 5340
5336 5341 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
5337 5342 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
5338 5343 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5339 5344
5340 5345 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
5341 5346 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
5342 5347 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
5343 5348 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
5344 5349 tracebacks.
5345 5350
5346 5351 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
5347 5352 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
5348 5353 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
5349 5354
5350 5355 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5351 5356
5352 5357 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
5353 5358 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
5354 5359 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
5355 5360 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
5356 5361
5357 5362 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5358 5363
5359 5364 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
5360 5365 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
5361 5366 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
5362 5367 for the bug report.
5363 5368
5364 5369 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5365 5370
5366 5371 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
5367 5372 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
5368 5373 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
5369 5374 report.
5370 5375
5371 5376 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5372 5377
5373 5378 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
5374 5379 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
5375 5380 end).
5376 5381
5377 5382 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
5378 5383 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
5379 5384 too often, or I would have heard about it.
5380 5385
5381 5386 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5382 5387
5383 5388 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
5384 5389 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
5385 5390 for the patch.
5386 5391
5387 5392 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5388 5393
5389 5394 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
5390 5395 functions.
5391 5396
5392 5397 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
5393 5398
5394 5399 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5395 5400
5396 5401 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
5397 5402 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
5398 5403 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
5399 5404 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
5400 5405 private fix.
5401 5406
5402 5407 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
5403 5408 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
5404 5409 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
5405 5410 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
5406 5411 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
5407 5412 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
5408 5413 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
5409 5414 fixed for this setup.
5410 5415
5411 5416 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
5412 5417 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
5413 5418
5414 5419 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
5415 5420
5416 5421 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5417 5422
5418 5423 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
5419 5424 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
5420 5425 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
5421 5426 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
5422 5427 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
5423 5428 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
5424 5429 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
5425 5430 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
5426 5431 annoying bug is finally fixed.
5427 5432
5428 5433 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
5429 5434 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
5430 5435 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
5431 5436
5432 5437 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
5433 5438
5434 5439 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5435 5440
5436 5441 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
5437 5442 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
5438 5443 pickle-related issue in @run).
5439 5444
5440 5445 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5441 5446
5442 5447 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
5443 5448 the autocall option at runtime.
5444 5449 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
5445 5450 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
5446 5451 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
5447 5452 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
5448 5453 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
5449 5454 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
5450 5455 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
5451 5456 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
5452 5457 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
5453 5458 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
5454 5459 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
5455 5460 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
5456 5461 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
5457 5462 pickles to save something sensible.
5458 5463
5459 5464 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
5460 5465
5461 5466 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
5462 5467 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
5463 5468 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
5464 5469
5465 5470 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5466 5471
5467 5472 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
5468 5473 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
5469 5474
5470 5475 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
5471 5476
5472 5477 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
5473 5478 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
5474 5479 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
5475 5480 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
5476 5481
5477 5482 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5478 5483
5479 5484 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
5480 5485 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
5481 5486 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
5482 5487 array is non-contiguous.
5483 5488
5484 5489 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5485 5490
5486 5491 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
5487 5492 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
5488 5493 executed).
5489 5494 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
5490 5495 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
5491 5496 output.
5492 5497 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
5493 5498 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
5494 5499 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
5495 5500 changing.
5496 5501
5497 5502 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
5498 5503
5499 5504 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5500 5505
5501 5506 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
5502 5507 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
5503 5508 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
5504 5509 are removed only at IPython's exit.
5505 5510 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
5506 5511 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
5507 5512 like a normal command-line.
5508 5513
5509 5514 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
5510 5515 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
5511 5516 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
5512 5517 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
5513 5518
5514 5519 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5515 5520
5516 5521 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
5517 5522 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
5518 5523 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
5519 5524 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
5520 5525
5521 5526 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5522 5527
5523 5528 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
5524 5529 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
5525 5530 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
5526 5531 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
5527 5532 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
5528 5533 think it's worth doing.

5532 5537 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5533 5538
5534 5539 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
5535 5540 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
5536 5541
5537 5542 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
5538 5543 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
5539 5544 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
5540 5545 also work ok.
5541 5546

5544 5549 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5545 5550
5546 5551 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
5547 5552
5548 5553 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
5549 5554 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
5550 5555 of gnuplot data files.
5551 5556
5552 5557 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5553 5558
5554 5559 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
5555 5560 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
5556 5561
5557 5562 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5558 5563
5559 5564 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
5560 5565 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
5561 5566 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
5562 5567 for pointing this out.
5563 5568
5564 5569 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5565 5570
5566 5571 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
5567 5572
5568 5573 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
5569 5574 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
5570 5575 Interactive.
5571 5576
5572 5577 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
5573 5578 being imported from iplib.
5574 5579
5575 5580 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
5576 5581 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
5577 5582 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
5578 5583 common name.
5579 5584
5580 5585 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
5581 5586 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
5582 5587
5583 5588 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
5584 5589 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
5585 5590
5586 5591 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
5587 5592 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
5588 5593 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
5589 5594 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
5590 5595 docstrings).
5591 5596
5592 5597 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5593 5598
5594 5599 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
5595 5600 (inconsistent with options).
5596 5601
5597 5602 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
5598 5603 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
5599 5604 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
5600 5605 eps output.
5601 5606
5602 5607 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5603 5608
5604 5609 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
5605 5610 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
5606 5611 Pinard.
5607 5612
5608 5613 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5609 5614
5610 5615 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
5611 5616 history file for new users.
5612 5617 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
5613 5618 user running in the .ipython dir.
5614 5619 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
5615 5620 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
5616 5621 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
5617 5622
5618 5623 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
5619 5624 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
5620 5625 consistently.
5621 5626
5622 5627 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
5623 5628 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
5624 5629 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
5625 5630 libraries I don't have access to.
5626 5631
5627 5632 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
5628 5633 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
5629 5634 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
5630 5635 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
5631 5636 report.
5632 5637
5633 5638 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5634 5639
5635 5640 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
5636 5641 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
5637 5642 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
5638 5643 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
5639 5644
5640 5645 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5641 5646
5642 5647 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
5643 5648 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
5644 5649 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
5645 5650 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
5646 5651 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
5647 5652 instance has been created.
5648 5653
5649 5654 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
5650 5655 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
5651 5656 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
5652 5657 dict by hand.
5653 5658
5654 5659 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5655 5660
5656 5661 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
5657 5662 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
5658 5663 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
5659 5664 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
5660 5665 broken.
5661 5666
5662 5667 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
5663 5668 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
5664 5669 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
5665 5670 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
5666 5671
5667 5672 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
5668 5673 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
5669 5674 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
5670 5675 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
5671 5676 is a valid one.
5672 5677
5673 5678 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
5674 5679 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
5675 5680 confirmation to have yes as the default.
5676 5681
5677 5682 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
5678 5683 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
5679 5684 simply leftover junk.
5680 5685
5681 5686 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5682 5687
5683 5688 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
5684 5689 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
5685 5690 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
5686 5691
5687 5692 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
5688 5693 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
5689 5694 exceptions.
5690 5695
5691 5696 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5692 5697
5693 5698 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
5694 5699 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
5695 5700 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
5696 5701 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
5697 5702 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
5698 5703
5699 5704 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
5700 5705 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
5701 5706
5702 5707 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
5703 5708 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
5704 5709 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
5705 5710 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
5706 5711 problem mentioned below.
5707 5712
5708 5713 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5709 5714
5710 5715 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
5711 5716 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
5712 5717
5713 5718 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
5714 5719 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
5715 5720 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
5716 5721 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
5717 5722 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
5718 5723
5719 5724 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
5720 5725 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
5721 5726 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
5722 5727 actual function names.
5723 5728
5724 5729 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
5725 5730 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
5726 5731 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
5727 5732 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
5728 5733 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
5729 5734 really be only function/method names.
5730 5735
5731 5736 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5732 5737
5733 5738 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
5734 5739 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
5735 5740 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
5736 5741
5737 5742 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5738 5743
5739 5744 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
5740 5745 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
5741 5746 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
5742 5747
5743 5748 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
5744 5749 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5745 5750
5746 5751 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
5747 5752 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
5748 5753 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
5749 5754
5750 5755 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
5751 5756 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
5752 5757 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
5753 5758
5754 5759 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
5755 5760 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
5756 5761 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
5757 5762
5758 5763 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5759 5764
5760 5765 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
5761 5766 Gnuplot.File objects.
5762 5767
5763 5768 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5764 5769
5765 5770 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
5766 5771 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
5767 5772 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
5768 5773
5769 5774 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5770 5775
5771 5776 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
5772 5777 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
5773 5778
5774 5779 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
5775 5780 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
5776 5781
5777 5782 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
5778 5783 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
5779 5784
5780 5785 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5781 5786
5782 5787 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
5783 5788 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
5784 5789 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
5785 5790 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
5786 5791
5787 5792 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5788 5793
5789 5794 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
5790 5795 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
5791 5796 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
5792 5797
5793 5798 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5794 5799
5795 5800 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
5796 5801 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
5797 5802 workaround).
5798 5803
5799 5804 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5800 5805
5801 5806 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
5802 5807 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
5803 5808
5804 5809 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5805 5810
5806 5811 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
5807 5812 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
5808 5813
5809 5814 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
5810 5815 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
5811 5816 .strip() is called on it.
5812 5817
5813 5818
5814 5819 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5815 5820
5816 5821 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
5817 5822 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
5818 5823 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
5819 5824
5820 5825 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
5821 5826 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
5822 5827
5823 5828 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
5824 5829 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
5825 5830 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
5826 5831
5827 5832 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5828 5833
5829 5834 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
5830 5835 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
5831 5836 __main__.
5832 5837
5833 5838 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
5834 5839 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
5835 5840
5836 5841 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
5837 5842 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
5838 5843 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
5839 5844 Mathematica behaves.
5840 5845
5841 5846 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5842 5847
5843 5848 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
5844 5849 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
5845 5850
5846 5851 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
5847 5852 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
5848 5853 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
5849 5854
5850 5855 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
5851 5856 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
5852 5857
5853 5858 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5854 5859
5855 5860 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
5856 5861 underflow problems in Numeric.
5857 5862 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
5858 5863 for exact integer powers of 2.
5859 5864
5860 5865 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
5861 5866 properly.
5862 5867
5863 5868 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5864 5869
5865 5870 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
5866 5871 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
5867 5872
5868 5873 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5869 5874
5870 5875 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
5871 5876 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
5872 5877
5873 5878 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5874 5879
5875 5880 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
5876 5881 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
5877 5882 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
5878 5883 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
5879 5884 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
5880 5885 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
5881 5886 times).
5882 5887
5883 5888 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
5884 5889 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
5885 5890 been redirected by user this gets honored.
5886 5891
5887 5892 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5888 5893
5889 5894 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
5890 5895 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5891 5896 embedded code.
5892 5897
5893 5898 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5894 5899 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5895 5900 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5896 5901
5897 5902 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5898 5903 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5899 5904 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5900 5905 less special-casing to remember.
5901 5906
5902 5907 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5903 5908
5904 5909 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5905 5910 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5906 5911 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5907 5912 arg is not a defined object.
5908 5913 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5909 5914 a Mike Heeter idea.
5910 5915
5911 5916 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5912 5917 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5913 5918 interactive use.
5914 5919
5915 5920 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5916 5921 filenames.
5917 5922
5918 5923 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5919 5924
5920 5925 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5921 5926 initialization via another struct.
5922 5927
5923 5928 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5924 5929 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5925 5930
5926 5931 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5927 5932
5928 5933 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5929 5934 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5930 5935 too big).
5931 5936
5932 5937 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5933 5938
5934 5939 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5935 5940 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5936 5941 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5937 5942 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5938 5943
5939 5944 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5940 5945
5941 5946 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5942 5947 macros having broken.
5943 5948
5944 5949 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5945 5950
5946 5951 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5947 5952 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5948 5953 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5949 5954 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5950 5955 not to lists.
5951 5956
5952 5957 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5953 5958
5954 5959 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5955 5960 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5956 5961 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5957 5962
5958 5963 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5959 5964 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5960 5965
5961 5966 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5962 5967 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5963 5968 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5964 5969
5965 5970 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5966 5971 triple-quoted strings.
5967 5972
5968 5973 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5969 5974 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5970 5975 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5971 5976 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5972 5977 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5973 5978 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5974 5979
5975 5980 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5976 5981
5977 5982 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5978 5983 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5979 5984 ultraTB).
5980 5985
5981 5986 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5982 5987
5983 5988 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5984 5989 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5985 5990 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5986 5991 user's 'g' variables).
5987 5992
5988 5993 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5989 5994 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5990 5995 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5991 5996 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5992 5997 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5993 5998 macros.
5994 5999
5995 6000 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5996 6001
5997 6002 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5998 6003 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5999 6004
6000 6005 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
6001 6006 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
6002 6007 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
6003 6008
6004 6009 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6005 6010
6006 6011 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
6007 6012 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
6008 6013 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
6009 6014 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
6010 6015 aliases.
6011 6016
6012 6017 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6013 6018
6014 6019 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
6015 6020 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
6016 6021 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
6017 6022 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
6018 6023
6019 6024 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6020 6025
6021 6026 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
6022 6027 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
6023 6028 user-defined functions overrode them.
6024 6029
6025 6030 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6026 6031
6027 6032 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
6028 6033 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
6029 6034
6030 6035 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6031 6036
6032 6037 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
6033 6038 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
6034 6039 IPython.
6035 6040
6036 6041 * Released 0.2.13
6037 6042
6038 6043 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
6039 6044 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
6040 6045 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
6041 6046 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
6042 6047
6043 6048 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6044 6049
6045 6050 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
6046 6051 magic properly formatted for screen.
6047 6052
6048 6053 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
6049 6054 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
6050 6055
6051 6056 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
6052 6057 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
6053 6058 etc.)
6054 6059
6055 6060 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6056 6061
6057 6062 * Released 0.2.12
6058 6063
6059 6064 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6060 6065
6061 6066 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
6062 6067 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
6063 6068 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
6064 6069 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
6065 6070 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
6066 6071 an alias to @run -i.
6067 6072
6068 6073 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
6069 6074 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
6070 6075
6071 6076 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
6072 6077
6073 6078 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
6074 6079 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
6075 6080 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
6076 6081
6077 6082 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
6078 6083 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
6079 6084 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
6080 6085 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
6081 6086 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
6082 6087 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
6083 6088 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
6084 6089
6085 6090 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6086 6091
6087 6092 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
6088 6093 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
6089 6094 printed).
6090 6095
6091 6096 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
6092 6097 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
6093 6098 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
6094 6099
6095 6100 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
6096 6101 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
6097 6102
6098 6103 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
6099 6104 handle magic commands in them.
6100 6105 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
6101 6106 ~/mylog' now works.
6102 6107
6103 6108 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
6104 6109 '/' would be completed as magic names.
6105 6110
6106 6111 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6107 6112
6108 6113 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
6109 6114 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
6110 6115
6111 6116 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
6112 6117 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
6113 6118 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
6114 6119 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
6115 6120 variables are in the context of an exception.
6116 6121 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
6117 6122 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
6118 6123
6119 6124 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
6120 6125 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
6121 6126
6122 6127 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6123 6128
6124 6129 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
6125 6130 magics can parse options easier.
6126 6131 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
6127 6132 suggested by Chris Hart.
6128 6133 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
6129 6134 directory actually is in history.
6130 6135
6131 6136 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
6132 6137 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
6133 6138 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
6134 6139
6135 6140 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
6136 6141 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
6137 6142 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
6138 6143 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
6139 6144
6140 6145 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6141 6146
6142 6147 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
6143 6148 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
6144 6149
6145 6150 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
6146 6151 text (was a bug).
6147 6152
6148 6153 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6149 6154
6150 6155 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
6151 6156 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
6152 6157 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
6153 6158
6154 6159 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6155 6160
6156 6161 * Released 0.2.10
6157 6162
6158 6163 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
6159 6164
6160 6165 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
6161 6166 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
6162 6167
6163 6168 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6164 6169
6165 6170 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
6166 6171 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
6167 6172
6168 6173 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6169 6174
6170 6175 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
6171 6176 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
6172 6177 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
6173 6178 __init__.py)
6174 6179
6175 6180 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6176 6181
6177 6182 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
6178 6183 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
6179 6184 test for being inside IPython.
6180 6185
6181 6186 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
6182 6187 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
6183 6188 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
6184 6189 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
6185 6190
6186 6191 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6187 6192
6188 6193 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
6189 6194 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
6190 6195 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
6191 6196
6192 6197 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
6193 6198 embedding example to standard user directory for
6194 6199 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
6195 6200
6196 6201 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
6197 6202 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
6198 6203 hidden global).
6199 6204
6200 6205 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
6201 6206 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
6202 6207 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
6203 6208 case.
6204 6209
6205 6210 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6206 6211
6207 6212 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
6208 6213 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
6209 6214 start.
6210 6215
6211 6216 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
6212 6217 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
6213 6218 Numeric or math.
6214 6219
6215 6220 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
6216 6221 provided profiles. Now we have:
6217 6222 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
6218 6223 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
6219 6224 -physics -> same as before
6220 6225
6221 6226 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
6222 6227 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
6223 6228 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
6224 6229 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
6225 6230 string adds).
6226 6231
6227 6232 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
6228 6233 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
6229 6234 line with the gnuplot code).
6230 6235
6231 6236 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6232 6237
6233 6238 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
6234 6239 all included files change.
6235 6240
6236 6241 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
6237 6242 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
6238 6243
6239 6244 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
6240 6245 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
6241 6246 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
6242 6247
6243 6248 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
6244 6249 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
6245 6250
6246 6251 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
6247 6252 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
6248 6253
6249 6254 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
6250 6255 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
6251 6256 now accessible.
6252 6257
6253 6258 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
6254 6259 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
6255 6260 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
6256 6261 removed.
6257 6262 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
6258 6263 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
6259 6264 don't crash.
6260 6265 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
6261 6266 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
6262 6267 remains available.
6263 6268
6264 6269 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6265 6270
6266 6271 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
6267 6272
6268 6273 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6269 6274
6270 6275 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
6271 6276 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
6272 6277 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
6273 6278 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
6274 6279
6275 6280 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6276 6281
6277 6282 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
6278 6283 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
6279 6284 sync with the output counter.
6280 6285
6281 6286 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
6282 6287 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
6283 6288
6284 6289 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6285 6290
6286 6291 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
6287 6292 readline, fix it back after each call.
6288 6293
6289 6294 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
6290 6295 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
6291 6296 traceback references are properly deleted.
6292 6297
6293 6298 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
6294 6299 improve printing when pprint is in use.
6295 6300
6296 6301 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6297 6302
6298 6303 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
6299 6304 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
6300 6305 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
6301 6306 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
6302 6307 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
6303 6308 to catch SystemExit).
6304 6309
6305 6310 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
6306 6311 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
6307 6312 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
6308 6313 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
6309 6314 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
6310 6315 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
6311 6316
6312 6317 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6313 6318
6314 6319 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
6315 6320 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
6316 6321 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
6317 6322
6318 6323 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
6319 6324 configurable (it should have always been so).
6320 6325
6321 6326 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6322 6327
6323 6328 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
6324 6329 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
6325 6330 done in a more elegant way.
6326 6331
6327 6332 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6328 6333
6329 6334 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
6330 6335 win9x also.
6331 6336
6332 6337 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6333 6338
6334 6339 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
6335 6340 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
6336 6341
6337 6342 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6338 6343
6339 6344 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
6340 6345
6341 6346 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
6342 6347 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
6343 6348
6344 6349 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
6345 6350 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
6346 6351
6347 6352 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
6348 6353 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
6349 6354
6350 6355 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
6351 6356 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
6352 6357
6353 6358 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6354 6359
6355 6360 * Released 0.2.8
6356 6361
6357 6362 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
6358 6363 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
6359 6364 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
6360 6365 on' so that the first tab completes.
6361 6366 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
6362 6367 quotes breaking many magic commands.
6363 6368
6364 6369 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
6365 6370 installation.
6366 6371
6367 6372 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
6368 6373 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
6369 6374
6370 6375 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6371 6376
6372 6377 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
6373 6378 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
6374 6379 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
6375 6380
6376 6381 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
6377 6382 setting __name__=='__main__'.
6378 6383
6379 6384 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
6380 6385 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
6381 6386 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
6382 6387 suggestion.
6383 6388
6384 6389 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
6385 6390 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
6386 6391 Baecker for pointing this to me.
6387 6392
6388 6393 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
6389 6394 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
6390 6395
6391 6396 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6392 6397
6393 6398 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
6394 6399 which properly handles things for windows users.
6395 6400
6396 6401 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6397 6402
6398 6403 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
6399 6404 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
6400 6405 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
6401 6406 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
6402 6407 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
6403 6408
6404 6409 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
6405 6410
6406 6411 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6407 6412
6408 6413 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
6409 6414 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
6410 6415
6411 6416 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6412 6417
6413 6418 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
6414 6419 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
6415 6420 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
6416 6421 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
6417 6422 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
6418 6423 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
6419 6424
6420 6425 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6421 6426
6422 6427 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
6423 6428 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
6424 6429
6425 6430 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
6426 6431 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
6427 6432 cache at 20 values.
6428 6433
6429 6434 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
6430 6435 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
6431 6436 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
6432 6437 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
6433 6438
6434 6439 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
6435 6440 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
6436 6441 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
6437 6442 'file show').
6438 6443
6439 6444 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
6440 6445 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
6441 6446
6442 6447 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
6443 6448 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
6444 6449 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
6445 6450
6446 6451 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
6447 6452 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
6448 6453 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
6449 6454 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
6450 6455
6451 6456 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
6452 6457 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
6453 6458 the prompt strings.
6454 6459
6455 6460 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6456 6461
6457 6462 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
6458 6463 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
6459 6464
6460 6465 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
6461 6466 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
6462 6467 either globally or at each call.
6463 6468
6464 6469 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
6465 6470 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
6466 6471 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
6467 6472 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
6468 6473
6469 6474 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6470 6475
6471 6476 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
6472 6477 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
6473 6478
6474 6479 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
6475 6480
6476 6481 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
6477 6482 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
6478 6483 learning some lisp...
6479 6484
6480 6485 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6481 6486
6482 6487 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
6483 6488 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
6484 6489 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
6485 6490 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
6486 6491
6487 6492 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
6488 6493 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
6489 6494 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
6490 6495
6491 6496 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6492 6497
6493 6498 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
6494 6499 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
6495 6500 control to emacs users.
6496 6501
6497 6502 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
6498 6503 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
6499 6504 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
6500 6505 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
6501 6506 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
6502 6507 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
6503 6508
6504 6509 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6505 6510
6506 6511 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
6507 6512
6508 6513 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
6509 6514 @logstate magic was created.
6510 6515
6511 6516 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
6512 6517 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
6513 6518
6514 6519 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6515 6520
6516 6521 * Released 0.2.6.
6517 6522
6518 6523 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
6519 6524 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
6520 6525
6521 6526 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
6522 6527 SciPy.
6523 6528
6524 6529 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
6525 6530 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
6526 6531 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
6527 6532 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
6528 6533 the section on embedding and the example file.
6529 6534
6530 6535 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
6531 6536 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
6532 6537 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
6533 6538
6534 6539 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
6535 6540 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
6536 6541 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
6537 6542
6538 6543 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
6539 6544 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
6540 6545 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
6541 6546 for this to work.
6542 6547
6543 6548 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6544 6549
6545 6550 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
6546 6551 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
6547 6552 well inside Emacs buffers.
6548 6553 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
6549 6554 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
6550 6555 same bug in iplib.
6551 6556
6552 6557 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6553 6558
6554 6559 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
6555 6560 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
6556 6561
6557 6562 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
6558 6563 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
6559 6564 and keeps PyChecker happy).
6560 6565
6561 6566 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
6562 6567 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
6563 6568 display is done.
6564 6569
6565 6570 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
6566 6571 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
6567 6572
6568 6573 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
6569 6574 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
6570 6575 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
6571 6576 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
6572 6577 like in Octave.
6573 6578
6574 6579 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
6575 6580 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
6576 6581
6577 6582 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6578 6583
6579 6584 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
6580 6585 whole file a little.
6581 6586
6582 6587 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
6583 6588 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
6584 6589 end-user distro.
6585 6590
6586 6591 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
6587 6592 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
6588 6593 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
6589 6594
6590 6595 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
6591 6596 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
6592 6597
6593 6598 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
6594 6599 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
6595 6600 for @file.
6596 6601
6597 6602 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
6598 6603 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
6599 6604 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
6600 6605 the code a bit easier.
6601 6606
6602 6607 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
6603 6608 information to crash reports.
6604 6609
6605 6610 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6606 6611
6607 6612 * Released 0.2.5.
6608 6613
6609 6614 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6610 6615
6611 6616 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
6612 6617 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
6613 6618 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
6614 6619
6615 6620 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6616 6621
6617 6622 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
6618 6623 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
6619 6624 have thigs work as expected.
6620 6625
6621 6626 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
6622 6627 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
6623 6628 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
6624 6629 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
6625 6630 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
6626 6631
6627 6632 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
6628 6633 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
6629 6634
6630 6635 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6631 6636
6632 6637 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
6633 6638 user config files with os-native line-endings.
6634 6639
6635 6640 * README and manual updates.
6636 6641
6637 6642 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
6638 6643 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
6639 6644
6640 6645 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
6641 6646 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
6642 6647
6643 6648 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
6644 6649 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
6645 6650 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
6646 6651 extension-less files.
6647 6652
6648 6653 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
6649 6654 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
6650 6655 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
6651 6656
6652 6657 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
6653 6658 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
6654 6659
6655 6660 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
6656 6661 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
6657 6662 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
6658 6663 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
6659 6664 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
6660 6665 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
6661 6666 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
6662 6667 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
6663 6668 least make manually a shortcut.
6664 6669
6665 6670 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
6666 6671 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
6667 6672 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
6668 6673 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
6669 6674 runtime, with @colors.
6670 6675 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
6671 6676 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
6672 6677
6673 6678 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6674 6679
6675 6680 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
6676 6681 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
6677 6682 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
6678 6683 read the startup info.
6679 6684
6680 6685 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6681 6686
6682 6687 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
6683 6688 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
6684 6689 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
6685 6690 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
6686 6691 type the better off we are.
6687 6692 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
6688 6693 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
6689 6694 before.
6690 6695
6691 6696 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6692 6697
6693 6698 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
6694 6699 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
6695 6700 this later.
6696 6701
6697 6702 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6698 6703
6699 6704 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
6700 6705 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
6701 6706 (they can be triggered by imported code).
6702 6707
6703 6708 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6704 6709
6705 6710 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
6706 6711 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
6707 6712 spitting out only offset information as before.
6708 6713 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
6709 6714 programs with command line args inside IPython.
6710 6715
6711 6716 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6712 6717
6713 6718 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
6714 6719 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
6715 6720 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
6716 6721 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
6717 6722 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
6718 6723 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
6719 6724 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
6720 6725 macros.
6721 6726
6722 6727 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6723 6728
6724 6729 * Released 0.2.4.
6725 6730
6726 6731 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
6727 6732 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
6728 6733 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
6729 6734 re-execution.
6730 6735
6731 6736 * Updated manual with recent changes.
6732 6737
6733 6738 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
6734 6739 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
6735 6740 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
6736 6741 documented, of course :)
6737 6742 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
6738 6743 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
6739 6744 __call__ info for callable object instances.
6740 6745
6741 6746 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6742 6747
6743 6748 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
6744 6749 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
6745 6750 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
6746 6751
6747 6752 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6748 6753
6749 6754 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
6750 6755 so I wanted an updated release).
6751 6756
6752 6757 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6753 6758
6754 6759 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
6755 6760 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
6756 6761 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
6757 6762 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
6758 6763 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
6759 6764
6760 6765 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6761 6766
6762 6767 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
6763 6768 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
6764 6769
6765 6770 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6766 6771
6767 6772 * Released 0.2.2.
6768 6773
6769 6774 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
6770 6775 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
6771 6776 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
6772 6777 versions.
6773 6778
6774 6779 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
6775 6780 (MayaVi author).
6776 6781
6777 6782 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6778 6783
6779 6784 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
6780 6785 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
6781 6786 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
6782 6787 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
6783 6788 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
6784 6789
6785 6790 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
6786 6791 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
6787 6792
6788 6793 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6789 6794
6790 6795 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
6791 6796 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
6792 6797 nice, full-blown manual.
6793 6798
6794 6799 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
6795 6800 trivially simple for end-users.
6796 6801
6797 6802 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6798 6803
6799 6804 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
6800 6805 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
6801 6806
6802 6807 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
6803 6808 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
6804 6809
6805 6810 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6806 6811
6807 6812 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
6808 6813 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
6809 6814 people to later upgrade versions.
6810 6815
6811 6816 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
6812 6817 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
6813 6818 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
6814 6819 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
6815 6820 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
6816 6821 SystemExit).
6817 6822
6818 6823 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
6819 6824 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
6820 6825 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
6821 6826 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
6822 6827 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
6823 6828
6824 6829 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
6825 6830 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
6826 6831 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
6827 6832
6828 6833 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6829 6834
6830 6835 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
6831 6836 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
6832 6837
6833 6838 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
6834 6839 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
6835 6840 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
6836 6841 html docs out of it will be found).
6837 6842
6838 6843 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
6839 6844
6840 6845 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
6841 6846 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
6842 6847
6843 6848 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
6844 6849
6845 6850 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
6846 6851 visiting any directory in _dh.
6847 6852
6848 6853 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
6849 6854 it out with numbers.
6850 6855
6851 6856 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6852 6857
6853 6858 * Released 0.1.22
6854 6859
6855 6860 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
6856 6861 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
6857 6862
6858 6863 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
6859 6864 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
6860 6865 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
6861 6866 screen the necessary mail command.
6862 6867
6863 6868 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
6864 6869 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
6865 6870 guess we should at least give them something readable.
6866 6871
6867 6872 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6868 6873
6869 6874 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
6870 6875 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
6871 6876 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
6872 6877 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
6873 6878 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
6874 6879 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
6875 6880 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
6876 6881 its name).
6877 6882
6878 6883 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
6879 6884 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
6880 6885 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
6881 6886 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
6882 6887
6883 6888 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6884 6889
6885 6890 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
6886 6891 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
6887 6892
6888 6893 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
6889 6894 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
6890 6895
6891 6896 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6892 6897 completion of @-starting lines.
6893 6898
6894 6899 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6895 6900 info that other files can read from.
6896 6901
6897 6902 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6898 6903 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6899 6904 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6900 6905 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6901 6906 restores produce less errors.
6902 6907
6903 6908 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6904 6909 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6905 6910 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6906 6911 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6907 6912 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6908 6913
6909 6914 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6910 6915 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6911 6916 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6912 6917 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6913 6918 with this, finally...
6914 6919
6915 6920 * Small documentation updates.
6916 6921
6917 6922 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6918 6923 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6919 6924 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6920 6925
6921 6926 * File renaming:
6922 6927 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6923 6928 ipplib --> iplib
6924 6929 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6925 6930
6926 6931 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6927 6932 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6928 6933 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6929 6934
6930 6935 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6931 6936 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6932 6937 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6933 6938
6934 6939 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6935 6940
6936 6941 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6937 6942 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6938 6943 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6939 6944 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6940 6945
6941 6946 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6942 6947 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6943 6948 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6944 6949
6945 6950 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6946 6951 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6947 6952 road.
6948 6953
6949 6954 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6950 6955 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6951 6956 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6952 6957 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6953 6958
6954 6959 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6955 6960
6956 6961 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6957 6962 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6958 6963 file accordingly.
6959 6964
6960 6965 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6961 6966 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6962 6967 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6963 6968 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6964 6969 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6965 6970 separators and proper padding and justification.
6966 6971
6967 6972 * Released 0.1.20
6968 6973
6969 6974 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6970 6975 copy operation was missing).
6971 6976
6972 6977 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6973 6978 its output is always quite long.
6974 6979
6975 6980 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6976 6981 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6977 6982 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6978 6983 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6979 6984
6980 6985 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6981 6986 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6982 6987 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6983 6988 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6984 6989
6985 6990 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6986 6991
6987 6992 * Released 0.1.19
6988 6993
6989 6994 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6990 6995 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6991 6996
6992 6997 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6993 6998 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6994 6999 comment on 'macros').
6995 7000
6996 7001 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6997 7002
6998 7003 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6999 7004 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
7000 7005 statements and takes parameters.
7001 7006
7002 7007 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7003 7008
7004 7009 * Version 0.1.18 released.
7005 7010
7006 7011 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
7007 7012
7008 7013 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
7009 7014 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
7010 7015
7011 7016 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
7012 7017 ipythonrc-* samples.
7013 7018
7014 7019 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
7015 7020 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
7016 7021
7017 7022 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
7018 7023 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
7019 7024
7020 7025 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7021 7026
7022 7027 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
7023 7028 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
7024 7029 convention.
7025 7030
7026 7031 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
7027 7032 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
7028 7033
7029 7034 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
7030 7035
7031 7036 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
7032 7037 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
7033 7038
7034 7039 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
7035 7040 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
7036 7041 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
7037 7042 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
7038 7043 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
7039 7044 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
7040 7045 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
7041 7046 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
7042 7047 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
7043 7048 works.
7044 7049
7045 7050 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7046 7051
7047 7052 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
7048 7053 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
7049 7054 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
7050 7055 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
7051 7056 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
7052 7057 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
7053 7058 all the editors, less does that.
7054 7059
7055 7060 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
7056 7061
7057 7062 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
7058 7063 crash IPython.
7059 7064
7060 7065 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7061 7066
7062 7067 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
7063 7068
7064 7069 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
7065 7070 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
7066 7071 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
7067 7072 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
7068 7073 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
7069 7074 work in _ofind.
7070 7075
7071 7076 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
7072 7077 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
7073 7078 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
7074 7079 (famous last words).
7075 7080
7076 7081 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
7077 7082 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
7078 7083 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
7079 7084 windows).
7080 7085
7081 7086 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
7082 7087 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
7083 7088
7084 7089 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
7085 7090 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
7086 7091 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
7087 7092 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
7088 7093
7089 7094 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
7090 7095 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
7091 7096 licences and announce it.
7092 7097
7093 7098 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
7094 7099 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
7095 7100 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
7096 7101 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
7097 7102
7098 7103 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7099 7104
7100 7105 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
7101 7106 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
7102 7107 lists.
7103 7108
7104 7109 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
7105 7110 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
7106 7111 are ok.
7107 7112
7108 7113 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
7109 7114 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
7110 7115
7111 7116 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
7112 7117 this to Nathan.
7113 7118
7114 7119 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
7115 7120
7116 7121 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
7117 7122 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
7118 7123 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
7119 7124
7120 7125 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
7121 7126 accepted). Cleaner.
7122 7127
7123 7128 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
7124 7129 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
7125 7130 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
7126 7131 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
7127 7132 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
7128 7133
7129 7134 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
7130 7135
7131 7136 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
7132 7137 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
7133 7138 history after a log replay.
7134 7139
7135 7140 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
7136 7141 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
7137 7142 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
7138 7143 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
7139 7144 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
7140 7145 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
7141 7146
7142 7147 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
7143 7148 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
7144 7149 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
7145 7150 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
7146 7151 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
7147 7152
7148 7153 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
7149 7154
7150 7155 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
7151 7156 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
7152 7157 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
7153 7158 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
7154 7159 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
7155 7160 one: cache_size.
7156 7161
7157 7162 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
7158 7163 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
7159 7164 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
7160 7165 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
7161 7166
7162 7167 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
7163 7168 @ or not).
7164 7169
7165 7170 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
7166 7171 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
7167 7172 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
7168 7173 about licensing).
7169 7174
7170 7175 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7171 7176
7172 7177 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
7173 7178 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
7174 7179
7175 7180 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
7176 7181 screen size for page() operations.
7177 7182
7178 7183 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
7179 7184 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
7180 7185 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
7181 7186 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
7182 7187
7183 7188 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
7184 7189 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
7185 7190 option name tables are clearer.
7186 7191
7187 7192 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
7188 7193 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
7189 7194 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
7190 7195 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
7191 7196 was also changed a little to align better.
7192 7197
7193 7198 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
7194 7199 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
7195 7200
7196 7201 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
7197 7202 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
7198 7203 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
7199 7204
7200 7205 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
7201 7206 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
7202 7207 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
7203 7208 he needs it.
7204 7209
7205 7210 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
7206 7211
7207 7212 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
7208 7213 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
7209 7214 warning on it.
7210 7215
7211 7216 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
7212 7217 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
7213 7218 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
7214 7219 was too long).
7215 7220
7216 7221 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
7217 7222 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
7218 7223 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
7219 7224
7220 7225 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
7221 7226 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
7222 7227 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
7223 7228 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
7224 7229 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
7225 7230 function for the same task.
7226 7231
7227 7232 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7228 7233
7229 7234 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
7230 7235
7231 7236 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
7232 7237 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
7233 7238 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
7234 7239
7235 7240 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
7236 7241 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
7237 7242 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
7238 7243
7239 7244 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
7240 7245 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
7241 7246 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
7242 7247
7243 7248 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7244 7249
7245 7250 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
7246 7251
7247 7252 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
7248 7253 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
7249 7254 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
7250 7255
7251 7256 * Made prompt separators configurable.
7252 7257
7253 7258 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7254 7259
7255 7260 * Small bugfixes in many places.
7256 7261
7257 7262 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
7258 7263 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
7259 7264 maintain.
7260 7265
7261 7266 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
7262 7267 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
7263 7268 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
7264 7269 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
7265 7270 compiled and startup is much faster.
7266 7271
7267 7272 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
7268 7273 while without messing too much more with the code.
7269 7274
7270 7275 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7271 7276
7272 7277 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
7273 7278
7274 7279 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
7275 7280 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
7276 7281 *a lot* easier in some cases.
7277 7282
7278 7283 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
7279 7284 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
7280 7285
7281 7286 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
7282 7287 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
7283 7288 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
7284 7289 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
7285 7290 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
7286 7291 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
7287 7292
7288 7293 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
7289 7294 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
7290 7295
7291 7296 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
7292 7297 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
7293 7298
7294 7299 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
7295 7300 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
7296 7301 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
7297 7302 excessive.
7298 7303
7299 7304 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
7300 7305 types (only first word was displayed).
7301 7306
7302 7307 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7303 7308
7304 7309 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
7305 7310
7306 7311 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
7307 7312 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
7308 7313 travel along many directories.
7309 7314
7310 7315 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
7311 7316 arguments with default values.
7312 7317
7313 7318 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7314 7319
7315 7320 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
7316 7321 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
7317 7322
7318 7323 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
7319 7324
7320 7325 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
7321 7326 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
7322 7327 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
7323 7328
7324 7329 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7325 7330
7326 7331 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
7327 7332 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
7328 7333 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
7329 7334 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
7330 7335 from the outside and implement extensions for special
7331 7336 purposes.
7332 7337
7333 7338 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
7334 7339 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
7335 7340 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
7336 7341 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
7337 7342 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
7338 7343 one can simply say
7339 7344 a = 4.2 m/s**2
7340 7345 or even
7341 7346 a = 4.2 m/s^2
7342 7347
7343 7348 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
7344 7349 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
7345 7350 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
7346 7351
7347 7352 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
7348 7353 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
7349 7354 they were defined in
7350 7355
7351 7356 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
7352 7357
7353 7358 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
7354 7359 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
7355 7360 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
7356 7361 these to show the same information.
7357 7362
7358 7363 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
7359 7364
7360 7365 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
7361 7366 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
7362 7367 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
7363 7368 backtracked on the whole class!)
7364 7369
7365 7370 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
7366 7371 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
7367 7372 everything works as before).
7368 7373
7369 7374 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
7370 7375 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
7371 7376 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
7372 7377 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
7373 7378
7374 7379 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7375 7380
7376 7381 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
7377 7382
7378 7383 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
7379 7384 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
7380 7385
7381 7386 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
7382 7387 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
7383 7388 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
7384 7389 this later.
7385 7390
7386 7391 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
7387 7392
7388 7393 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
7389 7394 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
7390 7395 line option.
7391 7396
7392 7397 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
7393 7398 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
7394 7399 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
7395 7400 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
7396 7401 didn't return a result).
7397 7402
7398 7403 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
7399 7404
7400 7405 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
7401 7406
7402 7407 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
7403 7408 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
7404 7409 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
7405 7410 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
7406 7411
7407 7412 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7408 7413
7409 7414 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
7410 7415
7411 7416 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
7412 7417 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
7413 7418
7414 7419 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
7415 7420 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
7416 7421 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
7417 7422 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
7418 7423 in with the next entry:
7419 7424
7420 7425 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
7421 7426 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
7422 7427 handling.
7423 7428
7424 7429 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
7425 7430 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
7426 7431 namespace protection and documentation.

7428 7433 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7429 7434
7430 7435 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
7431 7436 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
7432 7437
7433 7438 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
7434 7439
7435 7440 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7436 7441
7437 7442 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
7438 7443
7439 7444 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
7440 7445 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
7441 7446 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
7442 7447 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
7443 7448 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
7444 7449
7445 7450 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
7446 7451 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
7447 7452 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
7448 7453
7449 7454 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
7450 7455
7451 7456 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
7452 7457 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
7453 7458
7454 7459 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7455 7460
7456 7461 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
7457 7462
7458 7463 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
7459 7464 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
7460 7465 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
7461 7466 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
7462 7467 ScientificPython.
7463 7468
7464 7469 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7465 7470
7466 7471 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
7467 7472 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
7468 7473 when called with no args.
7469 7474
7470 7475 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
7471 7476 closely.
7472 7477
7473 7478 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
7474 7479 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
7475 7480 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
7476 7481 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
7477 7482 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
7478 7483
7479 7484 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7480 7485
7481 7486 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
7482 7487 customizations there and access them via import.
7483 7488
7484 7489 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7485 7490
7486 7491 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
7487 7492
7488 7493 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
7489 7494 Nathan and Janko.
7490 7495
7491 7496 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
7492 7497
7493 7498 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
7494 7499 too long.
7495 7500
7496 7501 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
7497 7502
7498 7503 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
7499 7504 ?sin and sin?
7500 7505 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
7501 7506 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
7502 7507 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
7503 7508 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
7504 7509
7505 7510 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7506 7511
7507 7512 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
7508 7513
7509 7514 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
7510 7515 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
7511 7516
7512 7517 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
7513 7518 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
7514 7519 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
7515 7520 me).
7516 7521
7517 7522 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
7518 7523 protected (reasonably).
7519 7524
7520 7525 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
7521 7526 note through it (it was too long).
7522 7527
7523 7528 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
7524 7529 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
7525 7530 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
7526 7531 parameters.
7527 7532
7528 7533
7529 7534 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7530 7535
7531 7536 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
7532 7537 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
7533 7538 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
7534 7539
7535 7540 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
7536 7541 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
7537 7542 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
7538 7543
7539 7544 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
7540 7545
7541 7546 Changes to InteractiveShell:
7542 7547
7543 7548 - Made the usage message a parameter.
7544 7549
7545 7550 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
7546 7551 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
7547 7552 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
7548 7553 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
7549 7554 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
7550 7555 break.
7551 7556
7552 7557 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
7553 7558 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
7554 7559 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
7555 7560 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
7556 7561 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
7557 7562 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
7558 7563
7559 7564 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
7560 7565 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
7561 7566 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
7562 7567 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
7563 7568 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
7564 7569 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
7565 7570 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
7566 7571 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
7567 7572 trick.
7568 7573
7569 7574 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
7570 7575 session restoring.
7571 7576
7572 7577 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
7573 7578 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
7574 7579 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
7575 7580 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
7576 7581 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
7577 7582
7578 7583 * Started ChangeLog.
