3 3 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
4 4 as the default browser.
5 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
6 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
7 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
8 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.

6 10 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
7 11
8 12 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
9 13 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
10 14 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
11 15
12 16 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>

20 24 before calling functions from readline.
21 25
22 26 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
23 27
24 28 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
25 29 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
26 30 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
27 31 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
28 32 falls back to idump.

33 37 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
34 38 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
35 39 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.

37 41 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>

40 44 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
41 45 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
42 46 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
43 47 %magic with explicit % prefix.

50 54 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
51 55
52 56 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
53 57 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
54 58 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
55 59 one wants those instead.
56 60
57 61 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
58 62 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
59 63 instead.

69 73
70 74 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
71 75 stop marks.
72 76 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
73 77 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
74 78 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
75 79
76 80 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
77 81
78 82 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
79 83 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
80 84 sumbmitted to upstream.
81 85
82 86 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
83 87
84 88 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
85 89 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
86 90 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
87 91 running into an empty levels list later.
88 92
89 93 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
90 94

101 105 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
102 106
103 107 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
104 108 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
105 109 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
106 110 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
107 111 filenames.
108 112
109 113 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
110 114 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
111 115 out-of-process ipython code.
112 116
113 117 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
114 118 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
115 119 doctesting.
116 120
117 121 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
118 122
119 123 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
120 124
121 125 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
122 126 not being correctly recognized.
123 127
124 128 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
125 129
126 130 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
127 131 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
128 132 only item.
129 133
130 134 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
131 135 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
132 136 infinite recursion for one line strings).
133 137
134 138 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
135 139
136 140 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
137 141 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
138 142 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
139 143
140 144 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
141 145
142 146 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
143 147 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
144 148 "%env VISUAL=jed".
145 149
146 150 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
147 151
148 152 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
149 153 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
150 154 but I'm not exactly sure why).
151 155
152 156 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
153 157 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
154 158
155 159 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
156 160
157 161 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
158 162 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
159 163
160 164 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
161 165 the time during IPython startup is spent.
162 166
163 167 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
164 168
165 169 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
166 170
167 171 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
168 172
169 173 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
170 174
171 175 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
172 176
173 177 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
174 178 to work properly on posix too
175 179
176 180 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
177 181
178 182 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
179 183
180 184 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
181 185 prefix + "/scripts".
182 186
183 187 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
184 188
185 189 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
186 190
187 191 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
188 192 if they already exist
189 193
190 194 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
191 195
192 196 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
193 197
194 198 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
195 199
196 200 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
197 201
198 202 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
199 203 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
200 204 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
201 205
202 206 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
203 207
204 208 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
205 209 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
206 210 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
207 211
208 212 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
209 213 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
210 214 in ipy_user_conf.py
211 215
212 216
213 217 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
214 218 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
215 219 as IPython script.
216 220
217 221 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
218 222
219 223 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
220 224
221 225 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
222 226 is called before any exception has occurred.
223 227
224 228 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
225 229
226 230 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
227 231 to translate /'s to \'s again.
228 232
229 233 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
230 234 backslash.
231 235
232 236 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
233 237
234 238 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
235 239
236 240 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
237 241 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
238 242 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
239 243
240 244 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
241 245 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
242 246
243 247 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
244 248 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
245 249
246 250 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
247 251
248 252 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
249 253
250 254 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
251 255 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
252 256
253 257 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
254 258 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
255 259 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
256 260 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
257 261 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
258 262 mapped to "%" now.
259 263 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
260 264
261 265 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
262 266
263 267 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
264 268 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
265 269 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
266 270 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
267 271
268 272 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
269 273
270 274 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
271 275 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
272 276 for shell escapes.
273 277
274 278 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
275 279
276 280 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
277 281 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
278 282 vcs_completer.
279 283
280 284 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
281 285
282 286 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
283 287 directly instead!
284 288
285 289 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
286 290
287 291 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
288 292 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
289 293
290 294 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
291 295 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
292 296 explicit.
293 297
294 298 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
295 299 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
296 300
297 301 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
298 302
299 303 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
300 304
301 305 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
302 306 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
303 307 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
304 308 implementation for Text is useless.
305 309
306 310 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
307 311
308 312 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
309 313
310 314 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
311 315
312 316 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
313 317 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
314 318 "profile"
315 319
316 320 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
317 321
318 322 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
319 323 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
320 324
321 325 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
322 326 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
323 327
324 328
325 329 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
326 330 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
327 331 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
328 332
329 333 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
330 334
331 335 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
332 336 with one from UserConfig.
333 337
334 338 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
335 339 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
336 340
337 341 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
338 342 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
339 343 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
340 344
341 345 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
342 346
343 347 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
344 348
345 349 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
346 350
347 351 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
348 352
349 353 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
350 354
351 355 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
352 356
353 357 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
354 358
355 359 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
356 360
357 361 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
358 362 by eval of expr with dots.
359 363
360 364 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
361 365
362 366 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
363 367 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
364 368 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
365 369 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
366 370 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
367 371 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
368 372
369 373 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
370 374
371 375 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
372 376 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
373 377 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
374 378
375 379 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
376 380 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
377 381 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
378 382 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
379 383 funtionality in ipconfig.
380 384
381 385 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
382 386 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
383 387 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
384 388 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
385 389
386 390 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
387 391
388 392 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
389 393 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
390 394 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
391 395 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
392 396 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
393 397 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
394 398 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
395 399 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
396 400 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
397 401 descriptors.
398 402
399 403 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
400 404 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
401 405
402 406 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
403 407 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
404 408
405 409 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
406 410
407 411 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
408 412
409 413 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
410 414
411 415 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
412 416 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
413 417 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
414 418
415 419 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
416 420 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
417 421 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
418 422
419 423 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
420 424 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
421 425 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
422 426 ipy_stock_completers.
423 427
424 428 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
425 429
426 430 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
427 431
428 432 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
429 433 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
430 434 when filtering possible completions.
431 435
432 436 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
433 437
434 438 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
435 439 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
436 440 function
437 441
438 442
439 443 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
440 444
441 445 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
442 446 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
443 447 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
444 448 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
445 449 SVN completer.
446 450
447 451 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
448 452 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
449 453 name is %led.
450 454
451 455 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
452 456
453 457 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
454 458 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
455 459 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
456 460
457 461 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
458 462 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
459 463 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
460 464 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
461 465 hook name is 'complete_command'.
462 466
463 467 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
464 468
465 469 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
466 470 Numeric leftovers.
467 471
468 472 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
469 473 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
470 474
471 475 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
472 476 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
473 477
474 478 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
475 479 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
476 480
477 481 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
478 482 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
479 483 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
480 484
481 485 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
482 486
483 487 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
484 488 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
485 489 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
486 490
487 491 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
488 492 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
489 493
490 494 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
491 495
492 496 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
493 497 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
494 498 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
495 499
496 500 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
497 501
498 502 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
499 503 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
500 504 internal crash handler.
501 505
502 506 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
503 507 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
504 508 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
505 509 at the request of SAGE.
506 510
507 511 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
508 512
509 513 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
510 514 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
511 515
512 516 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
513 517 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
514 518 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
515 519 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
516 520
517 521 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
518 522 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
519 523 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
520 524
521 525 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
522 526
523 527 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
524 528 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
525 529 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
526 530
527 531 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
528 532 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
529 533
530 534 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
531 535
532 536 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
533 537 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
534 538 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
535 539 Stefan.
536 540
537 541 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
538 542
539 543 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
540 544 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
541 545 sys.stdout.close().
542 546
543 547 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
544 548
545 549 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
546 550 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
547 551 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
548 552 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
549 553
550 554 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
551 555 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
552 556 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
553 557
554 558 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
555 559 2.5.
556 560
557 561 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
558 562 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
559 563 interactively.
560 564
561 565 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
562 566
563 567 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
564 568 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
565 569
566 570 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
567 571
568 572 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
569 573 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
570 574 or only files.
571 575
572 576 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
573 577
574 578 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
575 579 they broke unittest
576 580
577 581 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
578 582
579 583 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
580 584 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
581 585 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
582 586 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
583 587
584 588 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
585 589
586 590 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
587 591 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
588 592 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
589 593 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
590 594 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
591 595
592 596 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
593 597
594 598 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
595 599 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
596 600
597 601 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
598 602
599 603 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
600 604 the mode argument).
601 605
602 606 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
603 607
604 608 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
605 609 not running under IPython.
606 610
607 611 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
608 612 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
609 613 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
610 614 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
611 615 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
612 616 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
613 617 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
614 618 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
615 619 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
616 620 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
617 621 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
618 622 are still supported.
619 623
620 624 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
621 625 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
622 626 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
623 627 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
624 628
625 629 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
626 630 encoding into methods.
627 631
628 632 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
629 633
630 634 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
631 635 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
632 636
633 637 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
634 638
635 639 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
636 640 non existing attributes.
637 641
638 642 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
639 643
640 644 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
641 645 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
642 646
643 647 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
644 648
645 649 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
646 650 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
647 651
648 652 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
649 653
650 654 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
651 655 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
652 656 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
653 657
654 658 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
655 659
656 660 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
657 661 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
658 662 Stefan van der Walt.
659 663
660 664 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
661 665
662 666 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
663 667 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
664 668
665 669 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
666 670
667 671 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
668 672 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
669 673 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
670 674
671 675 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
672 676
673 677 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
674 678 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
675 679 attributes.
676 680
677 681 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
678 682
679 683 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
680 684 commands into the methods implementing them.
681 685
682 686 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
683 687
684 688 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
685 689 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
686 690 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
687 691
688 692 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
689 693
690 694 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
691 695 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
692 696
693 697 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
694 698
695 699 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
696 700 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
697 701
698 702 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
699 703
700 704 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
701 705 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
702 706 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
703 707 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
704 708 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
705 709 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
706 710 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
707 711 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
708 712 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
709 713 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
710 714 the x key to "delete".
711 715
712 716 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
713 717
714 718 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
715 719 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
716 720 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
717 721 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
718 722
719 723 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
720 724 prompt
721 725
722 726 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
723 727
724 728 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
725 729
726 730 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
727 731 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
728 732 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
729 733 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
730 734
731 735 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
732 736
733 737 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
734 738 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
735 739 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
736 740 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
737 741 doesn't work properly yet.
738 742
739 743 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
740 744
741 745 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
742 746 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
743 747 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
744 748
745 749 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
746 750
747 751 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
748 752 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
749 753 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
750 754 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
751 755 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
752 756 execute commands.
753 757
754 758 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
755 759
756 760 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
757 761 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
758 762
759 763 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
760 764
761 765 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
762 766 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
763 767
764 768 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
765 769
766 770 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
767 771 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
768 772 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
769 773
770 774 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
771 775
772 776 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
773 777
774 778 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
775 779 Repo tagged and release cut.
776 780
777 781 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
778 782
779 783 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
780 784 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
781 785
782 786 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
783 787 (for %upgrade)
784 788
785 789 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
786 790
787 791 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
788 792 instead of looping 20 times.
789 793
790 794 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
791 795 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
792 796 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
793 797
794 798 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
795 799 testing for release on 06/06.
796 800
797 801 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
798 802
799 803 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
800 804 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
801 805 live in people's PATH.
802 806
803 807 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
804 808 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
805 809 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
806 810 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
807 811 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
808 812
809 813 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
810 814 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
811 815
812 816 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
813 817
814 818 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
815 819 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
816 820
817 821 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
818 822
819 823 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
820 824 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
821 825 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
822 826
823 827 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
824 828
825 829 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
826 830 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
827 831 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
828 832 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
829 833
830 834 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
831 835 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
832 836 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
833 837 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
834 838
835 839 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
836 840 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
837 841 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
838 842 work.
839 843
840 844 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
841 845
842 846 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
843 847 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
844 848
845 849 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
846 850 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
847 851 author William Stein.
848 852
849 853 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
850 854 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
851 855 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
852 856 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
853 857 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
854 858 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
855 859 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
856 860 objects more easily.
857 861
858 862 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
859 863
860 864 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
861 865 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
862 866 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
863 867 by Jeffrey Collins.
864 868
865 869 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
866 870 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
867 871 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
868 872 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
869 873
870 874 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
871 875 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
872 876 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
873 877 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
874 878
875 879 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
876 880 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
877 881 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
878 882 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
879 883 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
880 884 compatibility)
881 885
882 886 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
883 887 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
884 888 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
885 889
886 890 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
887 891 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
888 892 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
889 893 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
890 894 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
891 895
892 896 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
893 897 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
894 898 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
895 899
896 900 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
897 901 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
898 902 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
899 903 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
900 904 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
901 905 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
902 906 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
903 907
904 908 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
905 909 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
906 910 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
907 911
908 912 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
909 913 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
910 914 it is a real module. Closes #59.
911 915
912 916 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
913 917 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
914 918
915 919 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
916 920
917 921 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
918 922 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
919 923 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
920 924 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
921 925 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
922 926 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
923 927 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
924 928 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
925 929 while running under SAGE.
926 930
927 931 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
928 932
929 933 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
930 934 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
931 935 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
932 936 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
933 937
934 938 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
935 939
936 940 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
937 941 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
938 942 updated.
939 943
940 944 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
941 945 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
942 946 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
943 947 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
944 948 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
945 949
946 950 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
947 951 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
948 952 so more testing is needed...
949 953
950 954 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
951 955
952 956 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
953 957 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
954 958 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
955 959 when doing complex debugging.
956 960 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
957 961 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
958 962 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
959 963 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
960 964
961 965 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
962 966
963 967 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
964 968 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
965 969 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
966 970 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
967 971
968 972 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
969 973
970 974 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
971 975 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
972 976
973 977 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
974 978
975 979 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
976 980 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
977 981 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
978 982 been the one to acquire it.
979 983
980 984 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
981 985
982 986 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
983 987
984 988 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
985 989
986 990 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
987 991 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
988 992 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
989 993
990 994 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
991 995 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
992 996 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
993 997 properly flush the output cache.
994 998
995 999 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
996 1000 half-success (and fail explicitly).
997 1001
998 1002 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
999 1003
1000 1004 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1001 1005 are quoted
1002 1006
1003 1007 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1004 1008
1005 1009 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1006 1010 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1007 1011
1008 1012 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1009 1013 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1010 1014
1011 1015 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1012 1016
1013 1017 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1014 1018 %upgrade magic
1015 1019
1016 1020 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1017 1021
1018 1022 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1019 1023 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1020 1024 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1021 1025
1022 1026 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1023 1027
1024 1028 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1025 1029 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1026 1030
1027 1031 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1028 1032 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1029 1033 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1030 1034 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1031 1035 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1032 1036
1033 1037 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1034 1038
1035 1039 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1036 1040 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1037 1041
1038 1042 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1039 1043
1040 1044 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1041 1045 Torsten Marek.
1042 1046
1043 1047 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1044 1048
1045 1049 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1046 1050 line ranges works again.
1047 1051
1048 1052 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1049 1053
1050 1054 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1051 1055 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1052 1056 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1053 1057 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1054 1058 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1055 1059
1056 1060 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1057 1061 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1058 1062 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1059 1063 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1060 1064 more.
1061 1065
1062 1066 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1063 1067
1064 1068 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1065 1069 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1066 1070
1067 1071 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1068 1072
1069 1073 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1070 1074 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1071 1075
1072 1076 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1073 1077
1074 1078 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1075 1079
1076 1080 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1077 1081
1078 1082 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1079 1083
1080 1084 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1081 1085 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1082 1086 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1083 1087
1084 1088 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1085 1089
1086 1090 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1087 1091 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1088 1092 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1089 1093 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1090 1094
1091 1095 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1092 1096 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1093 1097
1094 1098 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1095 1099 contributed by marienz to close
1096 1100 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1097 1101
1098 1102 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1099 1103
1100 1104 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1101 1105
1102 1106 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1103 1107 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1104 1108 nonsense.
1105 1109
1106 1110 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1107 1111
1108 1112 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1109 1113 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1110 1114
1111 1115 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1112 1116
1113 1117 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1114 1118
1115 1119 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1116 1120 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1117 1121
1118 1122 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1119 1123
1120 1124 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1121 1125 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1122 1126 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1123 1127 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1124 1128 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1125 1129 SAGE team.
1126 1130 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1127 1131 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1128 1132
1129 1133 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1130 1134 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1131 1135 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1132 1136 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1133 1137 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1134 1138
1135 1139 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1136 1140
1137 1141 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1138 1142 correctly now (on Linux)
1139 1143
1140 1144 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1141 1145 warnings
1142 1146
1143 1147 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1144 1148
1145 1149 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1146 1150
1147 1151
1148 1152 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1149 1153
1150 1154 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1151 1155 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1152 1156 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1153 1157 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1154 1158 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1155 1159 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1156 1160 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1157 1161 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1158 1162
1159 1163 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1160 1164
1161 1165 * aliases can now be %store'd
1162 1166
1163 1167 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1164 1168 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1165 1169 at __init__.
1166 1170
1167 1171 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1168 1172 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1169 1173
1170 1174 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1171 1175
1172 1176 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1173 1177 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1174 1178 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1175 1179
1176 1180 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1177 1181
1178 1182 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1179 1183
1180 1184 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1181 1185
1182 1186 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1183 1187 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1184 1188 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1185 1189 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1186 1190
1187 1191 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1188 1192 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1189 1193
1190 1194 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1191 1195
1192 1196 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1193 1197 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1194 1198 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1195 1199 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1196 1200
1197 1201 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1198 1202 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1199 1203 usage.
1200 1204
1201 1205 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1202 1206 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1203 1207 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1204 1208
1205 1209 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1206 1210
1207 1211 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1208 1212 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1209 1213
1210 1214 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1211 1215 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1212 1216 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1213 1217
1214 1218 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1215 1219
1216 1220 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1217 1221
1218 1222 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1219 1223
1220 1224 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1221 1225 are now more helpful:
1222 1226 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1223 1227
1224 1228 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1225 1229
1226 1230 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1227 1231 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1228 1232
1229 1233 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1230 1234
1231 1235 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1232 1236 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1233 1237
1234 1238 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1235 1239 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1236 1240 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1237 1241
1238 1242 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1239 1243
1240 1244
1241 1245 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1242 1246
1243 1247 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1244 1248 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1245 1249
1246 1250 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1247 1251
1248 1252 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1249 1253 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1250 1254 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1251 1255 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1252 1256 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1253 1257 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1254 1258
1255 1259 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1256 1260
1257 1261 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1258 1262 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1259 1263 \python24\scripts).
1260 1264
1261 1265 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1262 1266 egg.
1263 1267
1264 1268 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1265 1269
1266 1270 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1267 1271
1268 1272 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1269 1273
1270 1274 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1271 1275
1272 1276 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1273 1277
1274 1278 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1275 1279 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1276 1280 \python24\scripts).
1277 1281
1278 1282 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1279 1283 egg.
1280 1284
1281 1285 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1282 1286
1283 1287 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1284 1288 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1285 1289 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1286 1290
1287 1291 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1288 1292 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1289 1293 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1290 1294 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1291 1295
1292 1296 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1293 1297 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1294 1298 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1295 1299 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1296 1300 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1297 1301 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1298 1302 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1299 1303 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1300 1304 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1301 1305 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1302 1306 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1303 1307 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1304 1308
1305 1309 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1306 1310
1307 1311 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1308 1312 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1309 1313 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1310 1314 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1311 1315
1312 1316 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1313 1317
1314 1318 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1315 1319 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1316 1320 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1317 1321 importing extensions easy.
1318 1322
1319 1323 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1320 1324 classes / instances of those classes.
1321 1325
1322 1326 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1323 1327 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1324 1328 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1325 1329 the user.
1326 1330
1327 1331 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1328 1332 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1329 1333 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1330 1334
1331 1335 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1332 1336
1333 1337 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1334 1338 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1335 1339 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1336 1340 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1337 1341 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1338 1342 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1339 1343 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1340 1344 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1341 1345 the method.
1342 1346
1343 1347 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1344 1348
1345 1349 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1346 1350 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1347 1351
1348 1352 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1349 1353
1350 1354 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1351 1355 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1352 1356 Vivian.
1353 1357
1354 1358 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1355 1359 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1356 1360 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1357 1361 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1358 1362 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1359 1363
1360 1364 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1361 1365
1362 1366 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1363 1367 that returns file contents on exit.
1364 1368
1365 1369 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1366 1370 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1367 1371 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1368 1372 sc files=ls
1369 1373 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1370 1374 print p,p.mtime
1371 1375
1372 1376 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1373 1377 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1374 1378 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1375 1379 instead of syntax error.
1376 1380
1377 1381
1378 1382 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1379 1383
1380 1384 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1381 1385 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1382 1386 data.
1383 1387
1384 1388 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1385 1389 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1386 1390 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1387 1391 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1388 1392
1389 1393 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1390 1394 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1391 1395 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1392 1396 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1393 1397 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1394 1398 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1395 1399
1396 1400 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1397 1401
1398 1402 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1399 1403 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1400 1404 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1401 1405 current dir.
1402 1406
1403 1407 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1404 1408 had to create new files.
1405 1409
1406 1410 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1407 1411 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1408 1412 future.
1409 1413
1410 1414 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1411 1415 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1412 1416 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1413 1417
1414 1418
1415 1419 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1416 1420
1417 1421 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1418 1422 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1419 1423 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1420 1424 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1421 1425 later.
1422 1426
1423 1427 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1424 1428 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1425 1429
1426 1430 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1427 1431
1428 1432 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1429 1433 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1430 1434 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1431 1435 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1432 1436 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1433 1437 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1434 1438
1435 1439 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1436 1440
1437 1441 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1438 1442 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1439 1443 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1440 1444 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1441 1445 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1442 1446 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1443 1447 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1444 1448 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1445 1449 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1446 1450 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1447 1451
1448 1452 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1449 1453 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1450 1454 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1451 1455 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1452 1456
1453 1457 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1454 1458 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1455 1459 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1456 1460 "setup.py install" between changes).
1457 1461
1458 1462 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1459 1463 if 1:
1460 1464 !ls
1461 1465 !!ls
1462 1466
1463 1467 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1464 1468
1465 1469 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1466 1470 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1467 1471 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1468 1472 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1469 1473
1470 1474 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1471 1475 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1472 1476 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1473 1477
1474 1478 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1475 1479
1476 1480 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1477 1481 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1478 1482 win32.
1479 1483
1480 1484 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1481 1485
1482 1486 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1483 1487
1484 1488 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1485 1489 ready for release.
1486 1490
1487 1491 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1488 1492 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1489 1493 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1490 1494 where to copy the info from.
1491 1495
1492 1496 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1493 1497
1494 1498 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1495 1499 support in the release tools as well.
1496 1500
1497 1501 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1498 1502
1499 1503 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1500 1504 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1501 1505 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1502 1506 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1503 1507
1504 1508 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1505 1509 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1506 1510 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1507 1511
1508 1512 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1509 1513 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1510 1514
1511 1515 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1512 1516 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1513 1517 printer not to work.
1514 1518
1515 1519 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1516 1520
1517 1521 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1518 1522 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1519 1523
1520 1524 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1521 1525
1522 1526 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1523 1527 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1524 1528 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1525 1529
1526 1530 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1527 1531 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1528 1532 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1529 1533
1530 1534 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1531 1535 Ville's patch.
1532 1536
1533 1537 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1534 1538
1535 1539 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1536 1540 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1537 1541 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1538 1542 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1539 1543 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1540 1544 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1541 1545 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1542 1546
1543 1547 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1544 1548 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1545 1549 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1546 1550
1547 1551 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1548 1552
1549 1553 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1550 1554 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1551 1555
1552 1556 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1553 1557 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1554 1558 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1555 1559 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1556 1560 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1557 1561 twister).
1558 1562
1559 1563 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1560 1564 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1561 1565 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1562 1566
1563 1567 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1564 1568 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1565 1569 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1566 1570 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1567 1571 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1568 1572 something inside the dis module.
1569 1573
1570 1574 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1571 1575
1572 1576 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1573 1577 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1574 1578 follows the discussion in
1575 1579 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1576 1580
1577 1581 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1578 1582 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1579 1583 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1580 1584
1581 1585 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1582 1586 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1583 1587 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1584 1588
1585 1589 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1586 1590 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1587 1591 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1588 1592 speed up this routine.
1589 1593
1590 1594 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1591 1595 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1592 1596 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1593 1597 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1594 1598 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1595 1599 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1596 1600 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1597 1601 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1598 1602
1599 1603 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1600 1604 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1601 1605 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1602 1606
1603 1607 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1604 1608 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1605 1609 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1606 1610 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1607 1611 setters don't do anything).
1608 1612
1609 1613 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1610 1614
1611 1615 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1612 1616 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1613 1617 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1614 1618 falling out of sync...)
1615 1619
1616 1620 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1617 1621 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1618 1622 as loops).
1619 1623
1620 1624 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1621 1625 win32 system access.
1622 1626
1623 1627 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1624 1628
1625 1629 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1626 1630 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1627 1631 thread-safe.
1628 1632 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1629 1633 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1630 1634 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1631 1635 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1632 1636 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1633 1637 can still happen.
1634 1638 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1635 1639 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1636 1640 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1637 1641 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1638 1642 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1639 1643 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1640 1644 cleanly.
1641 1645
1642 1646 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1643 1647 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1644 1648 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1645 1649 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1646 1650 users' persisted data.
1647 1651
1648 1652 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1649 1653 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1650 1654 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1651 1655 multiline input (such as macros).
1652 1656
1653 1657 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1654 1658 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1655 1659 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1656 1660 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1657 1661 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1658 1662 informative).
1659 1663
1660 1664 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1661 1665 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1662 1666
1663 1667 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1664 1668 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1665 1669 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1666 1670
1667 1671 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1668 1672 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1669 1673 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1670 1674 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1671 1675 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1672 1676 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1673 1677 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1674 1678 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1675 1679 details.
1676 1680
1677 1681 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1678 1682 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1679 1683 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1680 1684 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1681 1685 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1682 1686
1683 1687 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1684 1688 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1685 1689 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1686 1690 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1687 1691 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1688 1692
1689 1693 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1690 1694 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1691 1695 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1692 1696 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1693 1697 options to %logstart. Closes
1694 1698 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1695 1699 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1696 1700
1697 1701 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1698 1702
1699 1703 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1700 1704 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1701 1705 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1702 1706 list:
1703 1707 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1704 1708
1705 1709 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1706 1710
1707 1711 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1708 1712 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1709 1713 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1710 1714 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1711 1715
1712 1716 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1713 1717 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1714 1718 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1715 1719 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1716 1720 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1717 1721
1718 1722 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1719 1723 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1720 1724 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1721 1725 true by default.
1722 1726
1723 1727 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1724 1728 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1725 1729 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1726 1730 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1727 1731
1728 1732 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1729 1733
1730 1734 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1731 1735 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1732 1736 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1733 1737 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1734 1738 version committed).
1735 1739
1736 1740 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1737 1741 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1738 1742 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1739 1743 discussion on the user list.
1740 1744
1741 1745 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1742 1746 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1743 1747 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1744 1748 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1745 1749
1746 1750 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1747 1751
1748 1752 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1749 1753 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1750 1754 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1751 1755
1752 1756 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1753 1757 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1754 1758 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1755 1759
1756 1760 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1757 1761 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1758 1762 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1759 1763 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1760 1764 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1761 1765 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1762 1766 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1763 1767 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1764 1768 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1765 1769 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1766 1770 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1767 1771 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1768 1772 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1769 1773 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1770 1774 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1771 1775 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1772 1776 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1773 1777 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1774 1778 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1775 1779 branch refactoring.
1776 1780
1777 1781 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1778 1782
1779 1783 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1780 1784 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1781 1785
1782 1786 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1783 1787 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1784 1788 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1785 1789 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1786 1790 worked correctly).
1787 1791
1788 1792 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1789 1793 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1790 1794 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1791 1795
1792 1796 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1793 1797
1794 1798 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1795 1799 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1796 1800 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1797 1801 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1798 1802 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1799 1803 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1800 1804 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1801 1805 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1802 1806
1803 1807 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1804 1808
1805 1809 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1806 1810 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1807 1811 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1808 1812 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1809 1813 on this.
1810 1814
1811 1815 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1812 1816
1813 1817 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1814 1818 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1815 1819 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1816 1820 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1817 1821 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1818 1822
1819 1823 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1820 1824
1821 1825 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1822 1826 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1823 1827 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1824 1828 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1825 1829
1826 1830 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1827 1831
1828 1832 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1829 1833 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1830 1834 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1831 1835
1832 1836 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1833 1837
1834 1838 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1835 1839 startup time.
1836 1840
1837 1841 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1838 1842 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1839 1843 it's working in all cases.
1840 1844
1841 1845 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1842 1846 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1843 1847 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1844 1848 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1845 1849 per-search basis.
1846 1850
1847 1851 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1848 1852
1849 1853 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1850 1854 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1851 1855 of a patch by Jorgen.
1852 1856
1853 1857 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1854 1858
1855 1859 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1856 1860 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1857 1861 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1858 1862
1859 1863 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1860 1864
1861 1865 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1862 1866 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1863 1867 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1864 1868 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
1865 1869
1866 1870 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1867 1871
1868 1872 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1869 1873 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1870 1874 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1871 1875 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1872 1876 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1873 1877 implementing this functionality.
1874 1878
1875 1879 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1876 1880
1877 1881 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1878 1882 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1879 1883 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1880 1884 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1881 1885 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1882 1886 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1883 1887 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1884 1888
1885 1889 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1886 1890
1887 1891 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1888 1892 reported by Stephen Walton.
1889 1893
1890 1894 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1891 1895
1892 1896 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1893 1897
1894 1898 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1895 1899 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1896 1900
1897 1901 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1898 1902
1899 1903 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
1900 1904 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
1901 1905
1902 1906 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
1903 1907 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
1904 1908
1905 1909 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1906 1910
1907 1911 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
1908 1912 finishing.
1909 1913
1910 1914 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
1911 1915 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
1912 1916
1913 1917 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
1914 1918 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
1915 1919 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
1916 1920
1917 1921 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
1918 1922 code, handy in general.
1919 1923
1920 1924 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
1921 1925 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
1922 1926 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
1923 1927
1924 1928 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1925 1929
1926 1930 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
1927 1931 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
1928 1932 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
1929 1933 testing, though.
1930 1934 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
1931 1935 like this before...
1932 1936
1933 1937 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
1934 1938 non-dirs in win32 registry.
1935 1939
1936 1940 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
1937 1941 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
1938 1942
1939 1943 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1940 1944
1941 1945 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
1942 1946 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
1943 1947 F. Mantegazza.
1944 1948
1945 1949 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1946 1950
1947 1951 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
1948 1952 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
1949 1953 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
1950 1954
1951 1955 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
1952 1956 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
1953 1957 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
1954 1958 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
1955 1959 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
1956 1960 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
1957 1961
1958 1962 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1959 1963
1960 1964 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
1961 1965 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
1962 1966 beyond readline-based environments.
1963 1967
1964 1968 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>

1966 1970 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
1967 1971
1968 1972 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
1969 1973 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
1970 1974 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
1971 1975 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
1972 1976 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
1973 1977
1974 1978 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1975 1979
1976 1980 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
1977 1981 contains non-string attribute. Closes
1978 1982 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
1979 1983
1980 1984 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1981 1985
1982 1986 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
1983 1987
1984 1988 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1985 1989
1986 1990 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
1987 1991 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
1988 1992 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
1989 1993 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
1990 1994 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
1991 1995 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
1992 1996
1993 1997 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1994 1998
1995 1999 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
1996 2000
1997 2001 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1998 2002
1999 2003 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2000 2004 invalid $HOME under win32.
2001 2005
2002 2006 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2003 2007
2004 2008 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2005 2009 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2006 2010 simpler and a bit faster.
2007 2011
2008 2012 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2009 2013 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2010 2014 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2011 2015 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2012 2016 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2013 2017
2014 2018 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2015 2019 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2016 2020 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2017 2021
2018 2022 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2019 2023 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2020 2024
2021 2025 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2022 2026 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2023 2027 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2024 2028 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2025 2029 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2026 2030 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2027 2031 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2028 2032
2029 2033 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2030 2034
2031 2035 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2032 2036
2033 2037 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2034 2038
2035 2039 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2036 2040 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2037 2041
2038 2042 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2039 2043
2040 2044 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2041 2045 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2042 2046 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2043 2047 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2044 2048 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2045 2049 for the contribution.
2046 2050
2047 2051 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2048 2052 slightly modified version of the patch in
2049 2053 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2050 2054 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2051 2055 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2052 2056
2053 2057 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2054 2058
2055 2059 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2056 2060 I/O a bit more.
2057 2061
2058 2062 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2059 2063 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2060 2064
2061 2065 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15

2063 2067 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2064 2068
2065 2069 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2066 2070 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2067 2071 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2068 2072 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2069 2073
2070 2074 readline_remove_delims -/~

2076 2080
2077 2081 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2078 2082 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2079 2083 <eli@gondolin.net>
2080 2084
2081 2085 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2082 2086
2083 2087 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2084 2088 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2085 2089
2086 2090 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2087 2091
2088 2092 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2089 2093 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2090 2094 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2091 2095
2092 2096 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2093 2097
2094 2098 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2095 2099 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2096 2100
2097 2101 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2098 2102
2099 2103 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2100 2104 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2101 2105
2102 2106 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2103 2107 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2104 2108 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2105 2109 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2106 2110 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2107 2111 for more details.
2108 2112
2109 2113 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2110 2114 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2111 2115 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2112 2116 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2113 2117
2114 2118 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2115 2119
2116 2120 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2117 2121 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2118 2122 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2119 2123 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2120 2124 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2121 2125
2122 2126 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2123 2127 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2124 2128 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2125 2129
2126 2130 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2127 2131
2128 2132 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2129 2133
2130 2134 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2131 2135
2132 2136 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2133 2137 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2134 2138 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2135 2139 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2136 2140 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2137 2141
2138 2142 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2139 2143
2140 2144 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2141 2145
2142 2146 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2143 2147 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2144 2148 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2145 2149 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2146 2150 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2147 2151
2148 2152 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2149 2153 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2150 2154 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2151 2155 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2152 2156 take the text parameter.
2153 2157
2154 2158 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2155 2159 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2156 2160 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2157 2161 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2158 2162 pysh profile to include the line
2159 2163
2160 2164 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2161 2165
2162 2166 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2163 2167 delete pysh.py and the line
2164 2168
2165 2169 execfile pysh.py
2166 2170
2167 2171 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2168 2172
2169 2173 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2170 2174 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2171 2175 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2172 2176 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2173 2177 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2174 2178
2175 2179 * pysh.py:
2176 2180
2177 2181 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2178 2182
2179 2183 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2180 2184 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2181 2185 want it can still turn it off.
2182 2186
2183 2187 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2184 2188 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2185 2189 off by default.
2186 2190
2187 2191 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2188 2192 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2189 2193 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2190 2194 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2191 2195 calls.
2192 2196
2193 2197 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2194 2198
2195 2199 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2196 2200 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2197 2201 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2198 2202
2199 2203 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2200 2204
2201 2205 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2202 2206 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2203 2207 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2204 2208 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2205 2209
2206 2210 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2207 2211 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2208 2212 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2209 2213 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2210 2214
2211 2215 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2212 2216
2213 2217 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2214 2218 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2215 2219
2216 2220 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2217 2221 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2218 2222 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2219 2223 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2220 2224 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2221 2225 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2222 2226 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2223 2227 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2224 2228
2225 2229 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2226 2230
2227 2231 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2228 2232 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2229 2233 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2230 2234 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2231 2235 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2232 2236 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2233 2237 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2234 2238 add new completers at runtime.
2235 2239
2236 2240 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2237 2241
2238 2242 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2239 2243 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2240 2244 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2241 2245 ? system.
2242 2246
2243 2247 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2244 2248 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2245 2249 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2246 2250 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2247 2251 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2248 2252 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2249 2253 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2250 2254 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2251 2255
2252 2256 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2253 2257
2254 2258 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2255 2259 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2256 2260 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2257 2261 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2258 2262 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2259 2263
2260 2264 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2261 2265 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2262 2266 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2263 2267 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2264 2268 add:
2265 2269
2266 2270 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2267 2271 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2268 2272
2269 2273 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2270 2274
2271 2275 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2272 2276 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2273 2277 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2274 2278 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2275 2279
2276 2280 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2277 2281 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2278 2282 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2279 2283 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2280 2284 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2281 2285 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2282 2286 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2283 2287 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2284 2288 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2285 2289
2286 2290 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2287 2291
2288 2292 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2289 2293 prompt namespace handling.
2290 2294
2291 2295 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2292 2296
2293 2297 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2294 2298 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2295 2299 trips the emacs python mode).
2296 2300 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2297 2301 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2298 2302 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2299 2303 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2300 2304 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2301 2305 calls will be made at runtime.
2302 2306
2303 2307 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2304 2308
2305 2309 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2306 2310 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2307 2311 the call to %history.
2308 2312
2309 2313 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2310 2314
2311 2315 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2312 2316
2313 2317 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2314 2318 ipmagic() function calls.
2315 2319
2316 2320 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2317 2321 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2318 2322
2319 2323 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2320 2324
2321 2325 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2322 2326 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2323 2327 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2324 2328 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2325 2329 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2326 2330 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2327 2331 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2328 2332 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2329 2333
2330 2334 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2331 2335
2332 2336 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2333 2337 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2334 2338 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2335 2339 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2336 2340 Ville Vainio.
2337 2341
2338 2342 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2339 2343
2340 2344 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2341 2345 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2342 2346 define the ones they personally like.
2343 2347
2344 2348 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2345 2349
2346 2350 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2347 2351 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2348 2352
2349 2353 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2350 2354
2351 2355 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2352 2356 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2353 2357
2354 2358 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2355 2359 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2356 2360 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2357 2361 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2358 2362 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2359 2363 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2360 2364 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2361 2365 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2362 2366
2363 2367 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2364 2368 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2365 2369 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2366 2370 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2367 2371 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2368 2372
2369 2373 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2370 2374
2371 2375 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2372 2376 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2373 2377 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2374 2378
2375 2379 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2376 2380 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2377 2381 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2378 2382
2379 2383 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2380 2384
2381 2385 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2382 2386
2383 2387 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2384 2388 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2385 2389 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2386 2390 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2387 2391 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2388 2392 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2389 2393 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2390 2394 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2391 2395 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2392 2396 system is a separate implementation).
2393 2397
2394 2398 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2395 2399 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2396 2400 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2397 2401 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2398 2402 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2399 2403 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2400 2404 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2401 2405 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2402 2406 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2403 2407 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2404 2408 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2405 2409
2406 2410 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2407 2411
2408 2412 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2409 2413 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2410 2414 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2411 2415 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2412 2416 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2413 2417 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2414 2418 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2415 2419 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2416 2420
2417 2421 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2418 2422
2419 2423 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2420 2424 previous call produced a syntax error.
2421 2425
2422 2426 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2423 2427 classes without constructor.
2424 2428
2425 2429 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2426 2430
2427 2431 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2428 2432 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2429 2433 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2430 2434 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2431 2435 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2432 2436 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2433 2437 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2434 2438
2435 2439 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2436 2440
2437 2441 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2438 2442 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2439 2443
2440 2444 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2441 2445
2442 2446 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2443 2447 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2444 2448 optimizations.
2445 2449
2446 2450 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2447 2451 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2448 2452
2449 2453 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2450 2454
2451 2455 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2452 2456 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2453 2457 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2454 2458 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2455 2459 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2456 2460 avoid annoying the lists further.
2457 2461
2458 2462 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2459 2463
2460 2464 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2461 2465
2462 2466 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2463 2467 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2464 2468 norm definitions.
2465 2469 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2466 2470 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2467 2471 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2468 2472
2469 2473 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2470 2474 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2471 2475 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2472 2476 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2473 2477 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2474 2478
2475 2479 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2476 2480 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2477 2481 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2478 2482 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2479 2483
2480 2484 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2481 2485 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2482 2486 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2483 2487 fixes.
2484 2488
2485 2489 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2486 2490 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2487 2491 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2488 2492 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2489 2493 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2490 2494 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2491 2495 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2492 2496
2493 2497 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2494 2498
2495 2499 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2496 2500
2497 2501 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2498 2502 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2499 2503 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2500 2504 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2501 2505 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2502 2506 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2503 2507 Panel.
2504 2508
2505 2509 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2506 2510 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2507 2511 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2508 2512 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2509 2513 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2510 2514
2511 2515 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2512 2516
2513 2517 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2514 2518 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2515 2519
2516 2520 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2517 2521
2518 2522 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2519 2523
2520 2524 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2521 2525 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2522 2526 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2523 2527 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2524 2528 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2525 2529 python shell.
2526 2530
2527 2531 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2528 2532 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2529 2533 on assignments. This closes
2530 2534 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2531 2535 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2532 2536 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2533 2537
2534 2538 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2535 2539
2536 2540 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2537 2541 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2538 2542
2539 2543 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2540 2544
2541 2545 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2542 2546
2543 2547 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2544 2548 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2545 2549
2546 2550 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2547 2551
2548 2552 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2549 2553 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2550 2554 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2551 2555
2552 2556 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2553 2557
2554 2558 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2555 2559 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2556 2560 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2557 2561
2558 2562 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2559 2563
2560 2564 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2561 2565 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2562 2566 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2563 2567
2564 2568 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2565 2569 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2566 2570 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2567 2571
2568 2572 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2569 2573
2570 2574 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2571 2575 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2572 2576
2573 2577 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2574 2578
2575 2579 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2576 2580 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2577 2581 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2578 2582
2579 2583 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2580 2584
2581 2585 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2582 2586 reported by Prabhu.
2583 2587 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2584 2588 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2585 2589 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2586 2590
2587 2591 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2588 2592 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2589 2593
2590 2594 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2591 2595 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2592 2596 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2593 2597 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2594 2598 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2595 2599 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2596 2600
2597 2601 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2598 2602
2599 2603 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2600 2604
2601 2605 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2602 2606 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2603 2607 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2604 2608 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2605 2609
2606 2610 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2607 2611 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2608 2612
2609 2613 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2610 2614 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2611 2615 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2612 2616 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2613 2617 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2614 2618 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2615 2619 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2616 2620
2617 2621 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2618 2622 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2619 2623 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2620 2624
2621 2625 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2622 2626 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2623 2627 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2624 2628 before.
2625 2629
2626 2630 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2627 2631
2628 2632 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2629 2633 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2630 2634 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2631 2635 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2632 2636
2633 2637 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2634 2638 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2635 2639 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2636 2640 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2637 2641 timing very short-running code.
2638 2642
2639 2643 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2640 2644 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2641 2645 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2642 2646 utility.
2643 2647
2644 2648 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2645 2649 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2646 2650 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2647 2651 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2648 2652 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2649 2653 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2650 2654 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2651 2655 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2652 2656
2653 2657 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2654 2658 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2655 2659 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2656 2660
2657 2661 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2658 2662 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2659 2663 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2660 2664 is for).
2661 2665
2662 2666 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2663 2667 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2664 2668 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2665 2669 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2666 2670 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2667 2671
2668 2672 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2669 2673
2670 2674 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2671 2675 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2672 2676 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2673 2677 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2674 2678 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2675 2679
2676 2680 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2677 2681 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2678 2682 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2679 2683 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2680 2684 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2681 2685 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2682 2686
2683 2687 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2684 2688
2685 2689 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2686 2690 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2687 2691
2688 2692 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2689 2693
2690 2694 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2691 2695 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2692 2696 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2693 2697 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2694 2698
2695 2699 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2696 2700
2697 2701 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2698 2702
2699 2703 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2700 2704 setting with -d option.
2701 2705
2702 2706 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2703 2707 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2704 2708 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2705 2709 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2706 2710
2707 2711 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2708 2712
2709 2713 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2710 2714 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2711 2715
2712 2716 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2713 2717 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2714 2718 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2715 2719 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2716 2720 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2717 2721 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2718 2722 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2719 2723 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2720 2724 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2721 2725 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2722 2726 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2723 2727
2724 2728 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2725 2729
2726 2730 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2727 2731 cache when empty lines were present.
2728 2732
2729 2733 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2730 2734
2731 2735 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2732 2736 options for WX and GTK.
2733 2737
2734 2738 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2735 2739
2736 2740 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2737 2741 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2738 2742 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2739 2743 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2740 2744 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2741 2745 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2742 2746 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2743 2747
2744 2748 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2745 2749 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2746 2750
2747 2751 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2748 2752
2749 2753 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2750 2754 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2751 2755 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2752 2756 many thanks.
2753 2757
2754 2758 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2755 2759 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2756 2760 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2757 2761
2758 2762 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2759 2763
2760 2764 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2761 2765 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2762 2766 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2763 2767
2764 2768 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2765 2769
2766 2770 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2767 2771
2768 2772 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2769 2773 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2770 2774 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2771 2775
2772 2776 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2773 2777
2774 2778 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2775 2779 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2776 2780
2777 2781 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2778 2782
2779 2783 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2780 2784 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2781 2785 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2782 2786 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2783 2787 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2784 2788 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2785 2789 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2786 2790
2787 2791 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2788 2792
2789 2793 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2790 2794 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2791 2795 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2792 2796 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2793 2797
2794 2798 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2795 2799 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2796 2800
2797 2801 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2798 2802
2799 2803 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2800 2804 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2801 2805
2802 2806 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2803 2807 use throughout ipython.
2804 2808
2805 2809 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2806 2810 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2807 2811
2808 2812 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2809 2813 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2810 2814 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2811 2815 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2812 2816
2813 2817 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2814 2818
2815 2819 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2816 2820 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2817 2821 report by Francesc Alted.
2818 2822
2819 2823 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2820 2824
2821 2825 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2822 2826 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2823 2827
2824 2828 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2825 2829
2826 2830 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2827 2831 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2828 2832 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2829 2833 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2830 2834 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2831 2835 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2832 2836 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2833 2837 correctly set.
2834 2838
2835 2839 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2836 2840
2837 2841 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2838 2842 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2839 2843 import requirement of PEP-328.
2840 2844
2841 2845 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2842 2846 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2843 2847 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2844 2848 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2845 2849
2846 2850 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2847 2851
2848 2852 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2849 2853
2850 2854 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2851 2855 via a normal python function call.
2852 2856
2853 2857 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2854 2858 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2855 2859 2.4.
2856 2860
2857 2861 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2858 2862
2859 2863 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2860 2864 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2861 2865 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2862 2866 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2863 2867 is given to the user).
2864 2868
2865 2869 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2866 2870
2867 2871 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2868 2872 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2869 2873 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2870 2874 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2871 2875
2872 2876 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2873 2877 python 2.2.
2874 2878
2875 2879 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2876 2880 banner arg for embedded customization.
2877 2881
2878 2882 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2879 2883 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2880 2884 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2881 2885 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2882 2886 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2883 2887 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2884 2888
2885 2889 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2886 2890 minor changes to debian dir.
2887 2891
2888 2892 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2889 2893 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2890 2894 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2891 2895 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
2892 2896
2893 2897 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2894 2898
2895 2899 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2896 2900 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
2897 2901 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
2898 2902 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
2899 2903 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
2900 2904
2901 2905 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2902 2906
2903 2907 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
2904 2908 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
2905 2909
2906 2910 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2907 2911
2908 2912 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
2909 2913 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
2910 2914
2911 2915 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
2912 2916
2913 2917 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2914 2918
2915 2919 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
2916 2920 updated.
2917 2921
2918 2922 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2919 2923
2920 2924 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
2921 2925 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
2922 2926 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
2923 2927 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
2924 2928 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
2925 2929
2926 2930 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
2927 2931 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
2928 2932 split regexp. Closes
2929 2933 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
2930 2934 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
2931 2935 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
2932 2936 extensions.
2933 2937
2934 2938 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
2935 2939 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
2936 2940 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
2937 2941 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
2938 2942 for generic code and for matplotlib.
2939 2943
2940 2944 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
2941 2945 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
2942 2946 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
2943 2947 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
2944 2948
2945 2949 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
2946 2950 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
2947 2951
2948 2952 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
2949 2953 fine-tune banner.
2950 2954
2951 2955 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
2952 2956 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
2953 2957
2954 2958 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2955 2959
2956 2960 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
2957 2961 were missing.
2958 2962
2959 2963 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
2960 2964 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
2961 2965 valid at the command line.
2962 2966
2963 2967 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
2964 2968 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
2965 2969
2966 2970 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2967 2971
2968 2972 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
2969 2973 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
2970 2974 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
2971 2975
2972 2976 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2973 2977
2974 2978 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
2975 2979 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
2976 2980 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
2977 2981 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
2978 2982 continue to use the standard profiler.
2979 2983
2980 2984 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2981 2985
2982 2986 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
2983 2987 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
2984 2988 close.
2985 2989
2986 2990 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2987 2991
2988 2992 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
2989 2993 in Magic and ultraTB.
2990 2994
2991 2995 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
2992 2996
2993 2997 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
2994 2998 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
2995 2999 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
2996 3000 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
2997 3001
2998 3002 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
2999 3003 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3000 3004 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3001 3005 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3002 3006 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3003 3007 infrastructure in place.
3004 3008
3005 3009 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3006 3010
3007 3011 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3008 3012
3009 3013 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3010 3014 the pylab profile.
3011 3015
3012 3016 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3013 3017
3014 3018 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3015 3019
3016 3020 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3017 3021 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3018 3022 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3019 3023 itself.
3020 3024
3021 3025 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3022 3026 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3023 3027 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3024 3028 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3025 3029 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3026 3030 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3027 3031 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3028 3032 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3029 3033
3030 3034 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3031 3035 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3032 3036
3033 3037 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3034 3038
3035 3039 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3036 3040 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3037 3041 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3038 3042
3039 3043 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3040 3044
3041 3045 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3042 3046 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3043 3047
3044 3048 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3045 3049
3046 3050 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3047 3051
3048 3052 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3049 3053
3050 3054 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3051 3055
3052 3056 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3053 3057 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3054 3058 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3055 3059
3056 3060 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3057 3061
3058 3062 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3059 3063 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3060 3064 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3061 3065 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3062 3066 works.
3063 3067
3064 3068 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3065 3069 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3066 3070 practice.
3067 3071
3068 3072 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3069 3073
3070 3074 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3071 3075 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3072 3076 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3073 3077
3074 3078 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3075 3079
3076 3080 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3077 3081 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3078 3082 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3079 3083 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3080 3084
3081 3085 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3082 3086
3083 3087 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3084 3088 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3085 3089 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3086 3090 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3087 3091
3088 3092 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3089 3093
3090 3094 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3091 3095
3092 3096 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3093 3097 fail for any number.
3094 3098 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3095 3099 empty bookmarks.
3096 3100
3097 3101 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3098 3102
3099 3103 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3100 3104
3101 3105 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3102 3106
3103 3107 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3104 3108 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3105 3109
3106 3110 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3107 3111 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3108 3112
3109 3113 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3110 3114
3111 3115 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3112 3116 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3113 3117 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3114 3118 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3115 3119 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3116 3120
3117 3121 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3118 3122
3119 3123 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3120 3124 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3121 3125
3122 3126 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3123 3127
3124 3128 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3125 3129 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3126 3130 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3127 3131 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3128 3132
3129 3133 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3130 3134 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3131 3135 Schmolck.
3132 3136
3133 3137 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3134 3138
3135 3139 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3136 3140
3137 3141 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3138 3142 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3139 3143
3140 3144 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3141 3145 optimizations.
3142 3146
3143 3147 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3144 3148 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3145 3149
3146 3150 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3147 3151 --Started changelog.
3148 3152 --make clear do what it say it does
3149 3153 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3150 3154 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3151 3155 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3152 3156 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3153 3157 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3154 3158 can be done for other cases.
3155 3159 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3156 3160 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3157 3161 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3158 3162
3159 3163 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3160 3164 --added logfile rotation
3161 3165 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3162 3166
3163 3167 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3164 3168 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3165 3169 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3166 3170 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3167 3171 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3168 3172 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3169 3173 --added global logfile option
3170 3174 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3171 3175 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3172 3176
3173 3177 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3174 3178 --added a README
3175 3179 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3176 3180 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3177 3181 bug or feature.
3178 3182 --changed rc file for new behavior
3179 3183
3180 3184 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3181 3185
3182 3186 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3183 3187 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3184 3188 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3185 3189
3186 3190 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3187 3191 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3188 3192
3189 3193 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3190 3194
3191 3195 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3192 3196 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3193 3197 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3194 3198 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3195 3199 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3196 3200 and prepended with a #.
3197 3201
3198 3202 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3199 3203 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3200 3204
3201 3205 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3202 3206
3203 3207 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3204 3208 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3205 3209
3206 3210 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3207 3211
3208 3212 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3209 3213 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3210 3214
3211 3215 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3212 3216
3213 3217 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3214 3218 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3215 3219 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3216 3220
3217 3221 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3218 3222
3219 3223 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3220 3224 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3221 3225
3222 3226 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3223 3227 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3224 3228 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3225 3229 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3226 3230 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3227 3231 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3228 3232 be implemented later).
3229 3233
3230 3234 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3231 3235 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3232 3236 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3233 3237 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3234 3238
3235 3239 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3236 3240 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3237 3241 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3238 3242
3239 3243 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3240 3244 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3241 3245
3242 3246 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3243 3247 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3244 3248 readline make it impossible to go further.
3245 3249
3246 3250 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3247 3251
3248 3252 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3249 3253 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3250 3254
3251 3255 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3252 3256
3253 3257 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3254 3258 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3255 3259 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3256 3260 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3257 3261
3258 3262 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3259 3263 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3260 3264 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3261 3265 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3262 3266
3263 3267 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3264 3268 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3265 3269 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3266 3270 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3267 3271 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3268 3272 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3269 3273 problem.
3270 3274
3271 3275 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3272 3276 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3273 3277
3274 3278 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3275 3279 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3276 3280 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3277 3281
3278 3282 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3279 3283
3280 3284 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3281 3285 continue prompts.
3282 3286
3283 3287 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3284 3288 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3285 3289 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3286 3290 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3287 3291 byte-compilation saves time.
3288 3292
3289 3293 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3290 3294
3291 3295 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3292 3296 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3293 3297
3294 3298 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3295 3299 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3296 3300
3297 3301 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3298 3302 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3299 3303 common cases where it's a problem.
3300 3304
3301 3305 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3302 3306
3303 3307 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3304 3308 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3305 3309 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3306 3310 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3307 3311 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3308 3312 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3309 3313
3310 3314 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3311 3315
3312 3316 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3313 3317 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3314 3318
3315 3319 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3316 3320 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3317 3321 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3318 3322 structure as win_exec_ext.
3319 3323
3320 3324 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3321 3325 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3322 3326
3323 3327 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3324 3328 delete aliases.
3325 3329
3326 3330 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3327 3331 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3328 3332
3329 3333 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3330 3334
3331 3335 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3332 3336 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3333 3337
3334 3338 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3335 3339
3336 3340 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3337 3341 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3338 3342
3339 3343 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3340 3344 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3341 3345
3342 3346 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3343 3347 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3344 3348 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3345 3349 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3346 3350 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3347 3351 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3348 3352
3349 3353 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3350 3354 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3351 3355 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3352 3356
3353 3357 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3354 3358 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3355 3359 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3356 3360
3357 3361 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3358 3362 via an extra $. For example:
3359 3363
3360 3364 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3361 3365
3362 3366 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3363 3367 a python variable
3364 3368
3365 3369 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3366 3370 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3367 3371
3368 3372 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3369 3373 things prematurely.
3370 3374
3371 3375 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3372 3376 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3373 3377
3374 3378 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3375 3379 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3376 3380 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3377 3381 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3378 3382 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3379 3383 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3380 3384 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3381 3385 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3382 3386
3383 3387 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3384 3388 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3385 3389 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3386 3390 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3387 3391 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3388 3392 with the old system).
3389 3393
3390 3394 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3391 3395
3392 3396 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3393 3397 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3394 3398
3395 3399 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3396 3400 call to eval.
3397 3401 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3398 3402 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3399 3403 in.
3400 3404
3401 3405 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3402 3406
3403 3407 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3404 3408 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3405 3409 confusion).
3406 3410
3407 3411 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3408 3412 check for Windows users.
3409 3413
3410 3414 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3411 3415 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3412 3416 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3413 3417 download it.
3414 3418
3415 3419 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3416 3420
3417 3421 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3418 3422 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3419 3423 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3420 3424 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3421 3425 of IDLE's out).
3422 3426
3423 3427 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3424 3428 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3425 3429 eventually.
3426 3430 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3427 3431
3428 3432 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3429 3433
3430 3434 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3431 3435 list of auto-defined aliases.
3432 3436
3433 3437 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3434 3438
3435 3439 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3436 3440 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3437 3441 things under Windows).
3438 3442
3439 3443 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3440 3444
3441 3445 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3442 3446 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3443 3447 reported by Thorsten.
3444 3448
3445 3449 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3446 3450
3447 3451 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3448 3452 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3449 3453 for all examples and the manual as well.
3450 3454
3451 3455 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3452 3456
3453 3457 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3454 3458 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3455 3459 inherit from BasePrompt.
3456 3460
3457 3461 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3458 3462 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3459 3463
3460 3464 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3461 3465 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3462 3466 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3463 3467 defaults.
3464 3468 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3465 3469 this fix manually!
3466 3470
3467 3471 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3468 3472 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3469 3473 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3470 3474 distutils).
3471 3475
3472 3476 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3473 3477 usage of new '\D' escape.
3474 3478
3475 3479 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3476 3480 lacks os.getuid())
3477 3481 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3478 3482 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3479 3483 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3480 3484 handling mechanism.
3481 3485 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3482 3486 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3483 3487 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3484 3488 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3485 3489 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3486 3490 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3487 3491 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3488 3492
3489 3493 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3490 3494
3491 3495 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3492 3496 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3493 3497 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3494 3498
3495 3499 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3496 3500 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3497 3501 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3498 3502 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3499 3503 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3500 3504 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3501 3505 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3502 3506 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3503 3507
3504 3508 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3505 3509 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3506 3510 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3507 3511 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3508 3512 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3509 3513 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3510 3514 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3511 3515 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3512 3516
3513 3517 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3514 3518 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3515 3519 functions uniform.
3516 3520 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3517 3521
3518 3522 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3519 3523 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3520 3524 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3521 3525 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3522 3526 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3523 3527 use to parse their options.
3524 3528
3525 3529 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3526 3530 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3527 3531 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3528 3532
3529 3533 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3530 3534 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3531 3535 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3532 3536 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3533 3537 via the prompt_specials.
3534 3538
3535 3539 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3536 3540
3537 3541 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3538 3542 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3539 3543 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3540 3544 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3541 3545 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3542 3546 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3543 3547 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3544 3548 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3545 3549
3546 3550 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3547 3551
3548 3552 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3549 3553 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3550 3554 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3551 3555
3552 3556 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3553 3557
3554 3558 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3555 3559 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3556 3560
3557 3561 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3558 3562
3559 3563 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3560 3564 parens would get passed to the shell.
3561 3565
3562 3566 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3563 3567
3564 3568 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3565 3569 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3566 3570
3567 3571 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3568 3572 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3569 3573 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3570 3574 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3571 3575 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3572 3576
3573 3577 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3574 3578 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3575 3579 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3576 3580 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3577 3581
3578 3582 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3579 3583
3580 3584 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3581 3585
3582 3586 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3583 3587 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3584 3588 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3585 3589
3586 3590 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3587 3591 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3588 3592 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3589 3593 official documentation.
3590 3594
3591 3595 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3592 3596
3593 3597 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3594 3598 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3595 3599 explicit filename.
3596 3600
3597 3601 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3598 3602
3599 3603 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3600 3604 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3601 3605 case.
3602 3606
3603 3607 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3604 3608 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3605 3609 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3606 3610
3607 3611 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3608 3612
3609 3613 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3610 3614
3611 3615 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3612 3616 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3613 3617 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3614 3618 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3615 3619 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3616 3620 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3617 3621 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3618 3622 any changes to python proper.
3619 3623
3620 3624 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3621 3625 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3622 3626 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3623 3627 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3624 3628 Schmolck.
3625 3629
3626 3630 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3627 3631
3628 3632 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3629 3633 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3630 3634 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3631 3635 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3632 3636
3633 3637 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3634 3638
3635 3639 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3636 3640 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3637 3641 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3638 3642 name).
3639 3643
3640 3644 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3641 3645 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3642 3646 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3643 3647 Francois Pinard.
3644 3648
3645 3649 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3646 3650
3647 3651 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3648 3652 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3649 3653 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3650 3654 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3651 3655 not work.
3652 3656
3653 3657 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3654 3658
3655 3659 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3656 3660 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3657 3661 distinguishes stdout/err.
3658 3662
3659 3663 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3660 3664 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3661 3665 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3662 3666 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3663 3667 the standard library.
3664 3668
3665 3669 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3666 3670 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3667 3671
3668 3672 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3669 3673 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3670 3674
3671 3675 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3672 3676
3673 3677 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3674 3678 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3675 3679 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3676 3680 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3677 3681 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3678 3682 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3679 3683
3680 3684 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3681 3685
3682 3686 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3683 3687 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3684 3688 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3685 3689 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3686 3690
3687 3691 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3688 3692
3689 3693 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3690 3694 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3691 3695 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3692 3696 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3693 3697
3694 3698 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3695 3699
3696 3700 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3697 3701 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3698 3702 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3699 3703 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3700 3704 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3701 3705 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3702 3706 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3703 3707 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3704 3708
3705 3709 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3706 3710
3707 3711 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3708 3712 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3709 3713
3710 3714 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3711 3715
3712 3716 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3713 3717 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3714 3718 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3715 3719 very short.
3716 3720
3717 3721 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3718 3722
3719 3723 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3720 3724 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3721 3725 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3722 3726 this before making it permanent.
3723 3727
3724 3728 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3725 3729 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3726 3730 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3727 3731 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3728 3732
3729 3733 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3730 3734
3731 3735 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3732 3736 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3733 3737
3734 3738 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3735 3739
3736 3740 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3737 3741 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3738 3742 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3739 3743 cases I've missed.
3740 3744
3741 3745 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3742 3746
3743 3747 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3744 3748 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3745 3749 system would be triggered for @p.
3746 3750
3747 3751 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3748 3752 cleanups, code unmodified.
3749 3753
3750 3754 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3751 3755 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3752 3756 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3753 3757 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3754 3758 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3755 3759 The actual changes affect many files.
3756 3760
3757 3761 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3758 3762
3759 3763 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3760 3764 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3761 3765 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3762 3766
3763 3767 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3764 3768
3765 3769 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3766 3770 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3767 3771
3768 3772 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3769 3773
3770 3774 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3771 3775 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3772 3776 numpy list.
3773 3777
3774 3778 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3775 3779
3776 3780 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3777 3781 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3778 3782 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3779 3783 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3780 3784
3781 3785 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3782 3786
3783 3787 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3784 3788 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3785 3789 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3786 3790 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3787 3791
3788 3792 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3789 3793 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3790 3794
3791 3795 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3792 3796
3793 3797 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3794 3798 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3795 3799 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3796 3800 Collins.
3797 3801
3798 3802 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3799 3803
3800 3804 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3801 3805
3802 3806 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3803 3807 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3804 3808 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3805 3809
3806 3810 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3807 3811
3808 3812 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3809 3813 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3810 3814 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3811 3815 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3812 3816
3813 3817 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3814 3818 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3815 3819 __getitem__ and __call__.
3816 3820
3817 3821 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3818 3822
3819 3823 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3820 3824
3821 3825 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3822 3826 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3823 3827 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3824 3828 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3825 3829
3826 3830 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3827 3831 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3828 3832 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3829 3833 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3830 3834 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3831 3835 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3832 3836 necessary.
3833 3837
3834 3838 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3835 3839 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3836 3840 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3837 3841
3838 3842 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3839 3843 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3840 3844 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3841 3845 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3842 3846
3843 3847 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3844 3848 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3845 3849 generators.
3846 3850
3847 3851 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3848 3852 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3849 3853 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3850 3854 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3851 3855 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3852 3856 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3853 3857 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3854 3858
3855 3859 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3856 3860 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3857 3861 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3858 3862 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3859 3863 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3860 3864
3861 3865 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3862 3866 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3863 3867 edit under some circumstances.
3864 3868 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3865 3869 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3866 3870 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3867 3871 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3868 3872 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3869 3873 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3870 3874 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3871 3875 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3872 3876 need more testing.
3873 3877
3874 3878 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3875 3879
3876 3880 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3877 3881 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3878 3882 and simpler code.
3879 3883
3880 3884 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3881 3885
3882 3886 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3883 3887 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3884 3888 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3885 3889 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3886 3890 even if they were contiguous.
3887 3891 (l1norm): Added this function.
3888 3892 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3889 3893 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3890 3894 and speed.
3891 3895
3892 3896 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3893 3897
3894 3898 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3895 3899 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3896 3900 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
3897 3901
3898 3902 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3899 3903
3900 3904 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
3901 3905 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
3902 3906 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
3903 3907
3904 3908 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
3905 3909 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
3906 3910 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
3907 3911
3908 3912 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3909 3913
3910 3914 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
3911 3915 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
3912 3916 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
3913 3917 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
3914 3918 activity.
3915 3919
3916 3920 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3917 3921
3918 3922 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
3919 3923 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
3920 3924 Numeric.identity)
3921 3925
3922 3926 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3923 3927
3924 3928 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
3925 3929 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
3926 3930 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
3927 3931
3928 3932 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3929 3933
3930 3934 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
3931 3935 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
3932 3936 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
3933 3937 ipython behaves like normal python does.
3934 3938
3935 3939 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
3936 3940 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
3937 3941 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
3938 3942 is implemented).
3939 3943
3940 3944 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3941 3945
3942 3946 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
3943 3947 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
3944 3948 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
3945 3949
3946 3950 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
3947 3951 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
3948 3952 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
3949 3953 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
3950 3954 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
3951 3955
3952 3956 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
3953 3957
3954 3958 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3955 3959
3956 3960 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
3957 3961 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
3958 3962 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
3959 3963
3960 3964 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3961 3965
3962 3966 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
3963 3967 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
3964 3968 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
3965 3969
3966 3970 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
3967 3971 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
3968 3972 crash report from Prabhu.
3969 3973
3970 3974 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3971 3975
3972 3976 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
3973 3977 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
3974 3978 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
3975 3979 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3976 3980 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
3977 3981 also be useful in other cases.
3978 3982
3979 3983 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
3980 3984 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
3981 3985 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3982 3986
3983 3987 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
3984 3988
3985 3989 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3986 3990
3987 3991 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
3988 3992 installing for a new user under Windows.
3989 3993
3990 3994 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3991 3995
3992 3996 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
3993 3997 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
3994 3998 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
3995 3999 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
3996 4000 there.
3997 4001
3998 4002 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
3999 4003 info to crash reports.
4000 4004
4001 4005 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4002 4006 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4003 4007 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4004 4008 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4005 4009
4006 4010 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4007 4011
4008 4012 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4009 4013 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4010 4014 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4011 4015 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4012 4016
4013 4017 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4014 4018
4015 4019 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4016 4020 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4017 4021
4018 4022 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4019 4023
4020 4024 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4021 4025 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4022 4026
4023 4027 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4024 4028
4025 4029 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4026 4030
4027 4031 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4028 4032 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4029 4033 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4030 4034
4031 4035 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4032 4036 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4033 4037 with the new auto-indent option.
4034 4038
4035 4039 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4036 4040
4037 4041 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4038 4042 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4039 4043 this class from the main Shell class.
4040 4044
4041 4045 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4042 4046 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4043 4047 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4044 4048 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4045 4049 option).
4046 4050
4047 4051 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4048 4052 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4049 4053 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4050 4054 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4051 4055 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4052 4056
4053 4057 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4054 4058 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4055 4059 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4056 4060
4057 4061 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4058 4062 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4059 4063 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4060 4064 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4061 4065 tracebacks.
4062 4066
4063 4067 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4064 4068 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4065 4069 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>

4067 4071 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4068 4072
4069 4073 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4070 4074 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4071 4075 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4072 4076 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4073 4077
4074 4078 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4075 4079
4076 4080 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4077 4081 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4078 4082 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4079 4083 for the bug report.
4080 4084
4081 4085 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4082 4086
4083 4087 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4084 4088 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4085 4089 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4086 4090 report.

4090 4094 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4091 4095 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4092 4096 end).
4093 4097
4094 4098 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4095 4099 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4096 4100 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4097 4101
4098 4102 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4099 4103
4100 4104 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4101 4105 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4102 4106 for the patch.
4103 4107
4104 4108 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4105 4109
4106 4110 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4107 4111 functions.
4108 4112

4111 4115 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4112 4116
4113 4117 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4114 4118 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4115 4119 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4116 4120 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4117 4121 private fix.
4118 4122
4119 4123 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4120 4124 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4121 4125 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4122 4126 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4123 4127 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4124 4128 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4125 4129 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4126 4130 fixed for this setup.
4127 4131
4128 4132 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4129 4133 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4130 4134
4131 4135 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4132 4136
4133 4137 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4134 4138
4135 4139 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4136 4140 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4137 4141 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4138 4142 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4139 4143 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4140 4144 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4141 4145 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4142 4146 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4143 4147 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4144 4148
4145 4149 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4146 4150 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4147 4151 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4148 4152
4149 4153 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4150 4154
4151 4155 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4152 4156
4153 4157 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4154 4158 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4155 4159 pickle-related issue in @run).
4156 4160
4157 4161 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4158 4162
4159 4163 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4160 4164 the autocall option at runtime.
4161 4165 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4162 4166 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4163 4167 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4164 4168 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4165 4169 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4166 4170 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4167 4171 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4168 4172 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4169 4173 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4170 4174 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4171 4175 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4172 4176 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4173 4177 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4174 4178 pickles to save something sensible.
4175 4179
4176 4180 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4177 4181
4178 4182 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4179 4183 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4180 4184 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4181 4185
4182 4186 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4183 4187
4184 4188 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4185 4189 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4186 4190
4187 4191 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4188 4192
4189 4193 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4190 4194 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4191 4195 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4192 4196 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4193 4197
4194 4198 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4195 4199
4196 4200 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4197 4201 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4198 4202 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4199 4203 array is non-contiguous.
4200 4204
4201 4205 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4202 4206
4203 4207 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4204 4208 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4205 4209 executed).
4206 4210 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4207 4211 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4208 4212 output.
4209 4213 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4210 4214 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4211 4215 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4212 4216 changing.
4213 4217
4214 4218 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4215 4219
4216 4220 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4217 4221
4218 4222 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4219 4223 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4220 4224 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4221 4225 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4222 4226 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4223 4227 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4224 4228 like a normal command-line.
4225 4229
4226 4230 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4227 4231 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4228 4232 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4229 4233 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4230 4234
4231 4235 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4232 4236
4233 4237 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4234 4238 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4235 4239 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4236 4240 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4237 4241
4238 4242 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4239 4243
4240 4244 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4241 4245 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4242 4246 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4243 4247 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4244 4248 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4245 4249 think it's worth doing.
4246 4250
4247 4251 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4248 4252
4249 4253 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4250 4254
4251 4255 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4252 4256 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4253 4257
4254 4258 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4255 4259 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4256 4260 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4257 4261 also work ok.
4258 4262
4259 4263 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4260 4264
4261 4265 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4262 4266
4263 4267 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4264 4268
4265 4269 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4266 4270 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4267 4271 of gnuplot data files.
4268 4272
4269 4273 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4270 4274
4271 4275 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4272 4276 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4273 4277
4274 4278 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4275 4279
4276 4280 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4277 4281 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4278 4282 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4279 4283 for pointing this out.
4280 4284
4281 4285 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4282 4286
4283 4287 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4284 4288
4285 4289 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4286 4290 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4287 4291 Interactive.
4288 4292
4289 4293 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4290 4294 being imported from iplib.
4291 4295
4292 4296 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4293 4297 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4294 4298 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4295 4299 common name.
4296 4300
4297 4301 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4298 4302 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4299 4303
4300 4304 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4301 4305 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4302 4306
4303 4307 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4304 4308 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4305 4309 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4306 4310 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4307 4311 docstrings).
4308 4312
4309 4313 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4310 4314
4311 4315 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4312 4316 (inconsistent with options).
4313 4317
4314 4318 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4315 4319 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4316 4320 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4317 4321 eps output.
4318 4322
4319 4323 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4320 4324
4321 4325 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4322 4326 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4323 4327 Pinard.
4324 4328
4325 4329 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4326 4330
4327 4331 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4328 4332 history file for new users.
4329 4333 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4330 4334 user running in the .ipython dir.
4331 4335 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4332 4336 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4333 4337 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4334 4338
4335 4339 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4336 4340 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4337 4341 consistently.
4338 4342
4339 4343 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4340 4344 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4341 4345 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4342 4346 libraries I don't have access to.
4343 4347
4344 4348 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4345 4349 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4346 4350 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4347 4351 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4348 4352 report.
4349 4353
4350 4354 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4351 4355
4352 4356 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4353 4357 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4354 4358 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4355 4359 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4356 4360
4357 4361 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4358 4362
4359 4363 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4360 4364 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4361 4365 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4362 4366 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4363 4367 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4364 4368 instance has been created.
4365 4369
4366 4370 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4367 4371 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4368 4372 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4369 4373 dict by hand.
4370 4374
4371 4375 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4372 4376
4373 4377 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4374 4378 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4375 4379 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4376 4380 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4377 4381 broken.
4378 4382
4379 4383 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4380 4384 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4381 4385 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4382 4386 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4383 4387
4384 4388 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4385 4389 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4386 4390 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4387 4391 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4388 4392 is a valid one.
4389 4393
4390 4394 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4391 4395 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4392 4396 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4393 4397
4394 4398 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4395 4399 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4396 4400 simply leftover junk.
4397 4401
4398 4402 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4399 4403
4400 4404 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4401 4405 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4402 4406 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4403 4407
4404 4408 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4405 4409 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4406 4410 exceptions.
4407 4411
4408 4412 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4409 4413
4410 4414 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4411 4415 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4412 4416 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4413 4417 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4414 4418 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4415 4419
4416 4420 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4417 4421 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4418 4422
4419 4423 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4420 4424 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4421 4425 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4422 4426 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4423 4427 problem mentioned below.
4424 4428
4425 4429 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4426 4430
4427 4431 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4428 4432 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4429 4433
4430 4434 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4431 4435 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4432 4436 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4433 4437 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4434 4438 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4435 4439
4436 4440 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4437 4441 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4438 4442 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4439 4443 actual function names.
4440 4444
4441 4445 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4442 4446 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4443 4447 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4444 4448 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4445 4449 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4446 4450 really be only function/method names.
4447 4451
4448 4452 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4449 4453
4450 4454 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4451 4455 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4452 4456 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4453 4457
4454 4458 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4455 4459
4456 4460 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4457 4461 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4458 4462 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4459 4463
4460 4464 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4461 4465 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4462 4466
4463 4467 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4464 4468 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4465 4469 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4466 4470
4467 4471 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4468 4472 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4469 4473 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4470 4474
4471 4475 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4472 4476 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4473 4477 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4474 4478
4475 4479 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4476 4480
4477 4481 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4478 4482 Gnuplot.File objects.
4479 4483
4480 4484 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4481 4485
4482 4486 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4483 4487 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4484 4488 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4485 4489
4486 4490 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4487 4491
4488 4492 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4489 4493 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4490 4494
4491 4495 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4492 4496 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4493 4497
4494 4498 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4495 4499 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4496 4500
4497 4501 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4498 4502
4499 4503 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4500 4504 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4501 4505 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4502 4506 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4503 4507
4504 4508 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4505 4509
4506 4510 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4507 4511 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4508 4512 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4509 4513
4510 4514 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4511 4515
4512 4516 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4513 4517 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4514 4518 workaround).
4515 4519
4516 4520 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4517 4521
4518 4522 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4519 4523 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4520 4524
4521 4525 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4522 4526
4523 4527 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4524 4528 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4525 4529
4526 4530 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4527 4531 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4528 4532 .strip() is called on it.
4529 4533
4530 4534
4531 4535 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4532 4536
4533 4537 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4534 4538 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4535 4539 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4536 4540
4537 4541 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4538 4542 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4539 4543
4540 4544 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4541 4545 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4542 4546 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4543 4547
4544 4548 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4545 4549
4546 4550 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4547 4551 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4548 4552 __main__.
4549 4553
4550 4554 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4551 4555 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4552 4556
4553 4557 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4554 4558 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4555 4559 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4556 4560 Mathematica behaves.
4557 4561
4558 4562 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4559 4563
4560 4564 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4561 4565 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4562 4566
4563 4567 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4564 4568 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4565 4569 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4566 4570
4567 4571 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4568 4572 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4569 4573
4570 4574 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4571 4575
4572 4576 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4573 4577 underflow problems in Numeric.
4574 4578 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4575 4579 for exact integer powers of 2.
4576 4580
4577 4581 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4578 4582 properly.
4579 4583
4580 4584 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4581 4585
4582 4586 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4583 4587 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4584 4588
4585 4589 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4586 4590
4587 4591 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4588 4592 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4589 4593
4590 4594 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4591 4595
4592 4596 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4593 4597 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4594 4598 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4595 4599 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4596 4600 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4597 4601 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4598 4602 times).
4599 4603
4600 4604 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4601 4605 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4602 4606 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4603 4607
4604 4608 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4605 4609
4606 4610 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4607 4611 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4608 4612 embedded code.
4609 4613
4610 4614 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4611 4615 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4612 4616 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4613 4617
4614 4618 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4615 4619 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4616 4620 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4617 4621 less special-casing to remember.
4618 4622
4619 4623 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4620 4624
4621 4625 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4622 4626 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4623 4627 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4624 4628 arg is not a defined object.
4625 4629 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4626 4630 a Mike Heeter idea.
4627 4631
4628 4632 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4629 4633 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4630 4634 interactive use.
4631 4635
4632 4636 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4633 4637 filenames.
4634 4638
4635 4639 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4636 4640
4637 4641 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4638 4642 initialization via another struct.
4639 4643
4640 4644 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4641 4645 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4642 4646
4643 4647 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4644 4648
4645 4649 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4646 4650 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4647 4651 too big).
4648 4652
4649 4653 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4650 4654
4651 4655 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4652 4656 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4653 4657 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4654 4658 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4655 4659
4656 4660 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4657 4661
4658 4662 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4659 4663 macros having broken.
4660 4664
4661 4665 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4662 4666
4663 4667 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4664 4668 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4665 4669 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4666 4670 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4667 4671 not to lists.
4668 4672
4669 4673 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4670 4674
4671 4675 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4672 4676 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4673 4677 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4674 4678
4675 4679 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4676 4680 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4677 4681
4678 4682 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4679 4683 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4680 4684 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4681 4685
4682 4686 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4683 4687 triple-quoted strings.
4684 4688
4685 4689 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4686 4690 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4687 4691 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4688 4692 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4689 4693 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4690 4694 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4691 4695
4692 4696 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4693 4697
4694 4698 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4695 4699 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4696 4700 ultraTB).
4697 4701
4698 4702 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4699 4703
4700 4704 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4701 4705 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4702 4706 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4703 4707 user's 'g' variables).
4704 4708
4705 4709 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4706 4710 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4707 4711 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4708 4712 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4709 4713 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4710 4714 macros.
4711 4715
4712 4716 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4713 4717
4714 4718 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4715 4719 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4716 4720
4717 4721 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4718 4722 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4719 4723 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4720 4724
4721 4725 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4722 4726
4723 4727 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4724 4728 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4725 4729 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4726 4730 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4727 4731 aliases.
4728 4732
4729 4733 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4730 4734
4731 4735 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4732 4736 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4733 4737 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4734 4738 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4735 4739
4736 4740 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4737 4741
4738 4742 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4739 4743 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4740 4744 user-defined functions overrode them.
4741 4745
4742 4746 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4743 4747
4744 4748 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4745 4749 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4746 4750
4747 4751 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4748 4752
4749 4753 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4750 4754 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4751 4755 IPython.
4752 4756
4753 4757 * Released 0.2.13
4754 4758
4755 4759 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4756 4760 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4757 4761 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4758 4762 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4759 4763
4760 4764 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4761 4765
4762 4766 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4763 4767 magic properly formatted for screen.
4764 4768
4765 4769 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4766 4770 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4767 4771
4768 4772 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4769 4773 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4770 4774 etc.)
4771 4775
4772 4776 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4773 4777
4774 4778 * Released 0.2.12
4775 4779
4776 4780 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4777 4781
4778 4782 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4779 4783 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4780 4784 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4781 4785 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4782 4786 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4783 4787 an alias to @run -i.
4784 4788
4785 4789 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4786 4790 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4787 4791
4788 4792 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4789 4793
4790 4794 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4791 4795 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4792 4796 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4793 4797
4794 4798 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4795 4799 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4796 4800 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4797 4801 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4798 4802 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4799 4803 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4800 4804 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4801 4805
4802 4806 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4803 4807
4804 4808 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4805 4809 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4806 4810 printed).
4807 4811
4808 4812 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4809 4813 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4810 4814 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4811 4815
4812 4816 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4813 4817 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4814 4818
4815 4819 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4816 4820 handle magic commands in them.
4817 4821 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4818 4822 ~/mylog' now works.
4819 4823
4820 4824 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4821 4825 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4822 4826
4823 4827 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4824 4828
4825 4829 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4826 4830 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4827 4831
4828 4832 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4829 4833 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4830 4834 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4831 4835 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4832 4836 variables are in the context of an exception.
4833 4837 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4834 4838 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4835 4839
4836 4840 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4837 4841 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4838 4842
4839 4843 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4840 4844
4841 4845 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4842 4846 magics can parse options easier.
4843 4847 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4844 4848 suggested by Chris Hart.
4845 4849 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4846 4850 directory actually is in history.
4847 4851
4848 4852 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4849 4853 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4850 4854 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4851 4855
4852 4856 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4853 4857 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4854 4858 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4855 4859 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4856 4860
4857 4861 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4858 4862
4859 4863 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4860 4864 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4861 4865
4862 4866 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4863 4867 text (was a bug).
4864 4868
4865 4869 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4866 4870
4867 4871 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4868 4872 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4869 4873 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4870 4874
4871 4875 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4872 4876
4873 4877 * Released 0.2.10
4874 4878
4875 4879 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4876 4880
4877 4881 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4878 4882 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4879 4883
4880 4884 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4881 4885
4882 4886 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4883 4887 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4884 4888
4885 4889 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4886 4890
4887 4891 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4888 4892 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4889 4893 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4890 4894 __init__.py)
4891 4895
4892 4896 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4893 4897
4894 4898 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4895 4899 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4896 4900 test for being inside IPython.
4897 4901
4898 4902 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
4899 4903 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
4900 4904 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
4901 4905 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
4902 4906
4903 4907 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4904 4908
4905 4909 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
4906 4910 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
4907 4911 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
4908 4912
4909 4913 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
4910 4914 embedding example to standard user directory for
4911 4915 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
4912 4916
4913 4917 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
4914 4918 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
4915 4919 hidden global).
4916 4920
4917 4921 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
4918 4922 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
4919 4923 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
4920 4924 case.
4921 4925
4922 4926 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4923 4927
4924 4928 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
4925 4929 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
4926 4930 start.
4927 4931
4928 4932 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
4929 4933 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
4930 4934 Numeric or math.
4931 4935
4932 4936 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
4933 4937 provided profiles. Now we have:
4934 4938 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
4935 4939 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
4936 4940 -physics -> same as before
4937 4941
4938 4942 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
4939 4943 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
4940 4944 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
4941 4945 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
4942 4946 string adds).
4943 4947
4944 4948 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
4945 4949 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
4946 4950 line with the gnuplot code).
4947 4951
4948 4952 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4949 4953
4950 4954 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
4951 4955 all included files change.
4952 4956
4953 4957 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
4954 4958 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
4955 4959
4956 4960 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
4957 4961 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
4958 4962 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
4959 4963
4960 4964 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
4961 4965 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
4962 4966
4963 4967 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
4964 4968 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
4965 4969
4966 4970 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
4967 4971 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
4968 4972 now accessible.
4969 4973
4970 4974 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
4971 4975 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
4972 4976 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
4973 4977 removed.
4974 4978 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
4975 4979 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
4976 4980 don't crash.
4977 4981 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
4978 4982 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
4979 4983 remains available.
4980 4984
4981 4985 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4982 4986
4983 4987 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
4984 4988
4985 4989 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4986 4990
4987 4991 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
4988 4992 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
4989 4993 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
4990 4994 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
4991 4995
4992 4996 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4993 4997
4994 4998 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
4995 4999 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
4996 5000 sync with the output counter.
4997 5001
4998 5002 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
4999 5003 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5000 5004
5001 5005 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5002 5006
5003 5007 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5004 5008 readline, fix it back after each call.
5005 5009
5006 5010 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5007 5011 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5008 5012 traceback references are properly deleted.
5009 5013
5010 5014 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5011 5015 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5012 5016
5013 5017 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5014 5018
5015 5019 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5016 5020 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5017 5021 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5018 5022 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5019 5023 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5020 5024 to catch SystemExit).
5021 5025
5022 5026 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5023 5027 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5024 5028 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5025 5029 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5026 5030 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5027 5031 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5028 5032
5029 5033 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5030 5034
5031 5035 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5032 5036 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5033 5037 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5034 5038
5035 5039 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5036 5040 configurable (it should have always been so).
5037 5041
5038 5042 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5039 5043
5040 5044 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5041 5045 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5042 5046 done in a more elegant way.
5043 5047
5044 5048 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5045 5049
5046 5050 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5047 5051 win9x also.
5048 5052
5049 5053 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5050 5054
5051 5055 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5052 5056 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5053 5057
5054 5058 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5055 5059
5056 5060 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5057 5061
5058 5062 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5059 5063 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5060 5064
5061 5065 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5062 5066 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5063 5067
5064 5068 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5065 5069 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5066 5070
5067 5071 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5068 5072 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5069 5073
5070 5074 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5071 5075
5072 5076 * Released 0.2.8
5073 5077
5074 5078 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5075 5079 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5076 5080 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5077 5081 on' so that the first tab completes.
5078 5082 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5079 5083 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5080 5084
5081 5085 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5082 5086 installation.
5083 5087
5084 5088 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5085 5089 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5086 5090
5087 5091 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5088 5092
5089 5093 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5090 5094 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5091 5095 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5092 5096
5093 5097 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5094 5098 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5095 5099
5096 5100 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5097 5101 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5098 5102 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5099 5103 suggestion.
5100 5104
5101 5105 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5102 5106 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5103 5107 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5104 5108
5105 5109 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5106 5110 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5107 5111
5108 5112 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5109 5113
5110 5114 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5111 5115 which properly handles things for windows users.
5112 5116
5113 5117 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5114 5118
5115 5119 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5116 5120 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5117 5121 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5118 5122 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5119 5123 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5120 5124
5121 5125 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5122 5126
5123 5127 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5124 5128
5125 5129 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5126 5130 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5127 5131
5128 5132 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5129 5133
5130 5134 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5131 5135 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5132 5136 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5133 5137 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5134 5138 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5135 5139 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5136 5140
5137 5141 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5138 5142
5139 5143 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5140 5144 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5141 5145
5142 5146 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5143 5147 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5144 5148 cache at 20 values.
5145 5149
5146 5150 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5147 5151 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5148 5152 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5149 5153 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5150 5154
5151 5155 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5152 5156 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5153 5157 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5154 5158 'file show').
5155 5159
5156 5160 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5157 5161 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5158 5162
5159 5163 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5160 5164 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5161 5165 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5162 5166
5163 5167 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5164 5168 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5165 5169 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5166 5170 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5167 5171
5168 5172 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5169 5173 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5170 5174 the prompt strings.
5171 5175
5172 5176 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5173 5177
5174 5178 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5175 5179 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5176 5180
5177 5181 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5178 5182 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5179 5183 either globally or at each call.
5180 5184
5181 5185 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5182 5186 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5183 5187 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5184 5188 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5185 5189
5186 5190 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5187 5191
5188 5192 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5189 5193 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5190 5194
5191 5195 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5192 5196
5193 5197 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5194 5198 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5195 5199 learning some lisp...
5196 5200
5197 5201 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5198 5202
5199 5203 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5200 5204 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5201 5205 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5202 5206 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5203 5207
5204 5208 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5205 5209 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5206 5210 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5207 5211
5208 5212 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5209 5213
5210 5214 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5211 5215 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5212 5216 control to emacs users.
5213 5217
5214 5218 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5215 5219 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5216 5220 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5217 5221 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5218 5222 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5219 5223 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5220 5224
5221 5225 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5222 5226
5223 5227 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5224 5228
5225 5229 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5226 5230 @logstate magic was created.
5227 5231
5228 5232 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5229 5233 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5230 5234
5231 5235 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5232 5236
5233 5237 * Released 0.2.6.
5234 5238
5235 5239 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5236 5240 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5237 5241
5238 5242 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5239 5243 SciPy.
5240 5244
5241 5245 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5242 5246 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5243 5247 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5244 5248 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5245 5249 the section on embedding and the example file.
5246 5250
5247 5251 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5248 5252 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5249 5253 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5250 5254
5251 5255 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5252 5256 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5253 5257 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5254 5258
5255 5259 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5256 5260 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5257 5261 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5258 5262 for this to work.
5259 5263
5260 5264 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5261 5265
5262 5266 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5263 5267 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5264 5268 well inside Emacs buffers.
5265 5269 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5266 5270 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5267 5271 same bug in iplib.
5268 5272
5269 5273 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5270 5274
5271 5275 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5272 5276 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5273 5277
5274 5278 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5275 5279 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5276 5280 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5277 5281
5278 5282 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5279 5283 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5280 5284 display is done.
5281 5285
5282 5286 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5283 5287 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5284 5288
5285 5289 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5286 5290 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5287 5291 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5288 5292 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5289 5293 like in Octave.
5290 5294
5291 5295 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5292 5296 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5293 5297
5294 5298 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5295 5299
5296 5300 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5297 5301 whole file a little.
5298 5302
5299 5303 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5300 5304 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5301 5305 end-user distro.
5302 5306
5303 5307 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5304 5308 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5305 5309 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5306 5310
5307 5311 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5308 5312 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5309 5313
5310 5314 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5311 5315 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5312 5316 for @file.
5313 5317
5314 5318 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5315 5319 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5316 5320 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5317 5321 the code a bit easier.
5318 5322
5319 5323 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5320 5324 information to crash reports.
5321 5325
5322 5326 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5323 5327
5324 5328 * Released 0.2.5.
5325 5329
5326 5330 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5327 5331
5328 5332 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5329 5333 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5330 5334 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5331 5335
5332 5336 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5333 5337
5334 5338 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5335 5339 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5336 5340 have thigs work as expected.
5337 5341
5338 5342 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5339 5343 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5340 5344 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5341 5345 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5342 5346 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5343 5347
5344 5348 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5345 5349 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5346 5350
5347 5351 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5348 5352
5349 5353 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5350 5354 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5351 5355
5352 5356 * README and manual updates.
5353 5357
5354 5358 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5355 5359 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5356 5360
5357 5361 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5358 5362 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5359 5363
5360 5364 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5361 5365 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5362 5366 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5363 5367 extension-less files.
5364 5368
5365 5369 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5366 5370 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5367 5371 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5368 5372
5369 5373 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5370 5374 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5371 5375
5372 5376 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5373 5377 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5374 5378 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5375 5379 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5376 5380 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5377 5381 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5378 5382 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5379 5383 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5380 5384 least make manually a shortcut.
5381 5385
5382 5386 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5383 5387 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5384 5388 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5385 5389 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5386 5390 runtime, with @colors.
5387 5391 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5388 5392 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5389 5393
5390 5394 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5391 5395
5392 5396 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5393 5397 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5394 5398 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5395 5399 read the startup info.
5396 5400
5397 5401 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5398 5402
5399 5403 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5400 5404 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5401 5405 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5402 5406 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5403 5407 type the better off we are.
5404 5408 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5405 5409 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5406 5410 before.
5407 5411
5408 5412 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5409 5413
5410 5414 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5411 5415 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5412 5416 this later.
5413 5417
5414 5418 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5415 5419
5416 5420 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5417 5421 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5418 5422 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5419 5423
5420 5424 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5421 5425
5422 5426 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5423 5427 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5424 5428 spitting out only offset information as before.
5425 5429 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5426 5430 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5427 5431
5428 5432 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5429 5433
5430 5434 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5431 5435 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5432 5436 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5433 5437 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5434 5438 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5435 5439 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5436 5440 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5437 5441 macros.
5438 5442
5439 5443 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5440 5444
5441 5445 * Released 0.2.4.
5442 5446
5443 5447 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5444 5448 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5445 5449 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5446 5450 re-execution.
5447 5451
5448 5452 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5449 5453
5450 5454 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5451 5455 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5452 5456 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5453 5457 documented, of course :)
5454 5458 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5455 5459 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5456 5460 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5457 5461
5458 5462 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5459 5463
5460 5464 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5461 5465 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5462 5466 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5463 5467
5464 5468 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5465 5469
5466 5470 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5467 5471 so I wanted an updated release).
5468 5472
5469 5473 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5470 5474
5471 5475 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5472 5476 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5473 5477 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5474 5478 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5475 5479 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5476 5480
5477 5481 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5478 5482
5479 5483 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5480 5484 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5481 5485
5482 5486 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5483 5487
5484 5488 * Released 0.2.2.
5485 5489
5486 5490 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5487 5491 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5488 5492 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5489 5493 versions.
5490 5494
5491 5495 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5492 5496 (MayaVi author).
5493 5497
5494 5498 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5495 5499
5496 5500 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5497 5501 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5498 5502 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5499 5503 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5500 5504 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5501 5505
5502 5506 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5503 5507 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5504 5508
5505 5509 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5506 5510
5507 5511 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5508 5512 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5509 5513 nice, full-blown manual.
5510 5514
5511 5515 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5512 5516 trivially simple for end-users.
5513 5517
5514 5518 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5515 5519
5516 5520 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5517 5521 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5518 5522
5519 5523 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5520 5524 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5521 5525
5522 5526 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5523 5527
5524 5528 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5525 5529 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5526 5530 people to later upgrade versions.
5527 5531
5528 5532 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5529 5533 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5530 5534 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5531 5535 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5532 5536 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5533 5537 SystemExit).
5534 5538
5535 5539 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5536 5540 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5537 5541 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5538 5542 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5539 5543 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5540 5544
5541 5545 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5542 5546 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5543 5547 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5544 5548
5545 5549 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5546 5550
5547 5551 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5548 5552 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5549 5553
5550 5554 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5551 5555 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5552 5556 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5553 5557 html docs out of it will be found).
5554 5558
5555 5559 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5556 5560
5557 5561 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5558 5562 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5559 5563
5560 5564 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5561 5565
5562 5566 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5563 5567 visiting any directory in _dh.
5564 5568
5565 5569 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5566 5570 it out with numbers.
5567 5571
5568 5572 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5569 5573
5570 5574 * Released 0.1.22
5571 5575
5572 5576 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5573 5577 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5574 5578
5575 5579 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5576 5580 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5577 5581 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5578 5582 screen the necessary mail command.
5579 5583
5580 5584 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5581 5585 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5582 5586 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5583 5587
5584 5588 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5585 5589
5586 5590 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5587 5591 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5588 5592 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5589 5593 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5590 5594 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5591 5595 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5592 5596 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5593 5597 its name).
5594 5598
5595 5599 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5596 5600 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5597 5601 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5598 5602 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5599 5603
5600 5604 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5601 5605
5602 5606 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5603 5607 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5604 5608
5605 5609 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5606 5610 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5607 5611
5608 5612 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5609 5613 completion of @-starting lines.
5610 5614
5611 5615 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5612 5616 info that other files can read from.
5613 5617
5614 5618 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5615 5619 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5616 5620 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5617 5621 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5618 5622 restores produce less errors.
5619 5623
5620 5624 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5621 5625 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5622 5626 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5623 5627 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5624 5628 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5625 5629
5626 5630 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5627 5631 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5628 5632 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5629 5633 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5630 5634 with this, finally...
5631 5635
5632 5636 * Small documentation updates.
5633 5637
5634 5638 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5635 5639 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5636 5640 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5637 5641
5638 5642 * File renaming:
5639 5643 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5640 5644 ipplib --> iplib
5641 5645 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5642 5646
5643 5647 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5644 5648 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5645 5649 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5646 5650
5647 5651 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5648 5652 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5649 5653 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5650 5654
5651 5655 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5652 5656
5653 5657 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5654 5658 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5655 5659 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5656 5660 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5657 5661
5658 5662 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5659 5663 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5660 5664 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5661 5665
5662 5666 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5663 5667 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5664 5668 road.
5665 5669
5666 5670 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5667 5671 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5668 5672 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5669 5673 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5670 5674
5671 5675 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5672 5676
5673 5677 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5674 5678 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5675 5679 file accordingly.
5676 5680
5677 5681 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5678 5682 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5679 5683 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5680 5684 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5681 5685 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5682 5686 separators and proper padding and justification.
5683 5687
5684 5688 * Released 0.1.20
5685 5689
5686 5690 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5687 5691 copy operation was missing).
5688 5692
5689 5693 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5690 5694 its output is always quite long.
5691 5695
5692 5696 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5693 5697 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5694 5698 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5695 5699 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5696 5700
5697 5701 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5698 5702 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5699 5703 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5700 5704 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5701 5705
5702 5706 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5703 5707
5704 5708 * Released 0.1.19
5705 5709
5706 5710 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5707 5711 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5708 5712
5709 5713 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5710 5714 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5711 5715 comment on 'macros').
5712 5716
5713 5717 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5714 5718
5715 5719 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5716 5720 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5717 5721 statements and takes parameters.
5718 5722
5719 5723 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5720 5724
5721 5725 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5722 5726
5723 5727 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5724 5728
5725 5729 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5726 5730 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5727 5731
5728 5732 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5729 5733 ipythonrc-* samples.
5730 5734
5731 5735 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5732 5736 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5733 5737
5734 5738 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5735 5739 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5736 5740
5737 5741 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5738 5742
5739 5743 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5740 5744 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5741 5745 convention.
5742 5746
5743 5747 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5744 5748 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5745 5749
5746 5750 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5747 5751
5748 5752 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5749 5753 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5750 5754
5751 5755 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5752 5756 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5753 5757 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5754 5758 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5755 5759 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5756 5760 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5757 5761 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5758 5762 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5759 5763 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5760 5764 works.
5761 5765
5762 5766 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5763 5767
5764 5768 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5765 5769 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5766 5770 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5767 5771 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5768 5772 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5769 5773 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5770 5774 all the editors, less does that.
5771 5775
5772 5776 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5773 5777
5774 5778 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5775 5779 crash IPython.
5776 5780
5777 5781 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5778 5782
5779 5783 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5780 5784
5781 5785 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5782 5786 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5783 5787 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5784 5788 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5785 5789 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5786 5790 work in _ofind.
5787 5791
5788 5792 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5789 5793 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5790 5794 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5791 5795 (famous last words).
5792 5796
5793 5797 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5794 5798 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5795 5799 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5796 5800 windows).
5797 5801
5798 5802 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5799 5803 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5800 5804
5801 5805 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5802 5806 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5803 5807 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5804 5808 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5805 5809
5806 5810 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5807 5811 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5808 5812 licences and announce it.
5809 5813
5810 5814 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5811 5815 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5812 5816 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5813 5817 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5814 5818
5815 5819 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5816 5820
5817 5821 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5818 5822 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5819 5823 lists.
5820 5824
5821 5825 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5822 5826 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5823 5827 are ok.
5824 5828
5825 5829 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5826 5830 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5827 5831
5828 5832 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5829 5833 this to Nathan.
5830 5834
5831 5835 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5832 5836
5833 5837 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5834 5838 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5835 5839 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5836 5840
5837 5841 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5838 5842 accepted). Cleaner.
5839 5843
5840 5844 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5841 5845 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5842 5846 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5843 5847 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5844 5848 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5845 5849
5846 5850 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5847 5851
5848 5852 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5849 5853 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5850 5854 history after a log replay.
5851 5855
5852 5856 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5853 5857 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5854 5858 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5855 5859 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5856 5860 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5857 5861 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5858 5862
5859 5863 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5860 5864 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5861 5865 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5862 5866 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5863 5867 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5864 5868
5865 5869 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5866 5870
5867 5871 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5868 5872 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5869 5873 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5870 5874 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5871 5875 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5872 5876 one: cache_size.
5873 5877
5874 5878 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5875 5879 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5876 5880 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5877 5881 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5878 5882
5879 5883 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5880 5884 @ or not).
5881 5885
5882 5886 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5883 5887 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5884 5888 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5885 5889 about licensing).
5886 5890
5887 5891 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5888 5892
5889 5893 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5890 5894 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5891 5895
5892 5896 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5893 5897 screen size for page() operations.
5894 5898
5895 5899 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5896 5900 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
5897 5901 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
5898 5902 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
5899 5903
5900 5904 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
5901 5905 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
5902 5906 option name tables are clearer.
5903 5907
5904 5908 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
5905 5909 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
5906 5910 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
5907 5911 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
5908 5912 was also changed a little to align better.
5909 5913
5910 5914 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
5911 5915 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
5912 5916
5913 5917 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
5914 5918 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
5915 5919 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
5916 5920
5917 5921 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
5918 5922 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
5919 5923 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
5920 5924 he needs it.
5921 5925
5922 5926 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
5923 5927
5924 5928 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
5925 5929 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
5926 5930 warning on it.
5927 5931
5928 5932 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
5929 5933 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
5930 5934 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
5931 5935 was too long).
5932 5936
5933 5937 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
5934 5938 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
5935 5939 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
5936 5940
5937 5941 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
5938 5942 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
5939 5943 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
5940 5944 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
5941 5945 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
5942 5946 function for the same task.
5943 5947
5944 5948 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5945 5949
5946 5950 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
5947 5951
5948 5952 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
5949 5953 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
5950 5954 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
5951 5955
5952 5956 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
5953 5957 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
5954 5958 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
5955 5959
5956 5960 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
5957 5961 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
5958 5962 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
5959 5963
5960 5964 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5961 5965
5962 5966 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
5963 5967
5964 5968 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
5965 5969 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
5966 5970 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
5967 5971
5968 5972 * Made prompt separators configurable.
5969 5973
5970 5974 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5971 5975
5972 5976 * Small bugfixes in many places.
5973 5977
5974 5978 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
5975 5979 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
5976 5980 maintain.
5977 5981
5978 5982 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
5979 5983 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
5980 5984 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
5981 5985 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
5982 5986 compiled and startup is much faster.
5983 5987
5984 5988 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
5985 5989 while without messing too much more with the code.
5986 5990
5987 5991 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5988 5992
5989 5993 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
5990 5994
5991 5995 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
5992 5996 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
5993 5997 *a lot* easier in some cases.
5994 5998
5995 5999 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
5996 6000 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
5997 6001
5998 6002 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
5999 6003 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6000 6004 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6001 6005 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6002 6006 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6003 6007 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6004 6008
6005 6009 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6006 6010 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6007 6011
6008 6012 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6009 6013 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6010 6014
6011 6015 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6012 6016 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6013 6017 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6014 6018 excessive.
6015 6019
6016 6020 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6017 6021 types (only first word was displayed).
6018 6022
6019 6023 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6020 6024
6021 6025 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6022 6026
6023 6027 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6024 6028 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6025 6029 travel along many directories.
6026 6030
6027 6031 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6028 6032 arguments with default values.
6029 6033
6030 6034 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6031 6035
6032 6036 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6033 6037 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6034 6038
6035 6039 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6036 6040
6037 6041 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6038 6042 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6039 6043 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6040 6044
6041 6045 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6042 6046
6043 6047 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6044 6048 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6045 6049 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6046 6050 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6047 6051 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6048 6052 purposes.
6049 6053
6050 6054 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6051 6055 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6052 6056 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6053 6057 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6054 6058 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6055 6059 one can simply say
6056 6060 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6057 6061 or even
6058 6062 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6059 6063
6060 6064 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6061 6065 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6062 6066 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6063 6067
6064 6068 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6065 6069 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6066 6070 they were defined in
6067 6071
6068 6072 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6069 6073
6070 6074 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6071 6075 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6072 6076 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6073 6077 these to show the same information.
6074 6078
6075 6079 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6076 6080
6077 6081 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6078 6082 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6079 6083 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6080 6084 backtracked on the whole class!)
6081 6085
6082 6086 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6083 6087 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6084 6088 everything works as before).
6085 6089
6086 6090 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6087 6091 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6088 6092 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6089 6093 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6090 6094
6091 6095 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6092 6096
6093 6097 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6094 6098
6095 6099 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6096 6100 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6097 6101
6098 6102 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6099 6103 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6100 6104 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6101 6105 this later.
6102 6106
6103 6107 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6104 6108
6105 6109 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6106 6110 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6107 6111 line option.
6108 6112
6109 6113 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6110 6114 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6111 6115 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6112 6116 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6113 6117 didn't return a result).
6114 6118
6115 6119 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6116 6120
6117 6121 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6118 6122
6119 6123 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6120 6124 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6121 6125 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6122 6126 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6123 6127
6124 6128 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6125 6129
6126 6130 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6127 6131
6128 6132 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6129 6133 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6130 6134
6131 6135 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6132 6136 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6133 6137 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6134 6138 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6135 6139 in with the next entry:
6136 6140
6137 6141 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6138 6142 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6139 6143 handling.
6140 6144
6141 6145 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6142 6146 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6143 6147 namespace protection and documentation.
6144 6148
6145 6149 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6146 6150
6147 6151 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6148 6152 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6149 6153
6150 6154 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6151 6155
6152 6156 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6153 6157
6154 6158 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6155 6159
6156 6160 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6157 6161 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6158 6162 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6159 6163 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6160 6164 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6161 6165
6162 6166 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6163 6167 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6164 6168 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6165 6169
6166 6170 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6167 6171
6168 6172 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6169 6173 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6170 6174
6171 6175 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6172 6176
6173 6177 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6174 6178
6175 6179 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6176 6180 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6177 6181 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6178 6182 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6179 6183 ScientificPython.
6180 6184
6181 6185 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6182 6186
6183 6187 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6184 6188 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6185 6189 when called with no args.
6186 6190
6187 6191 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6188 6192 closely.
6189 6193
6190 6194 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6191 6195 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6192 6196 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6193 6197 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6194 6198 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6195 6199
6196 6200 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6197 6201
6198 6202 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6199 6203 customizations there and access them via import.
6200 6204
6201 6205 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6202 6206
6203 6207 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6204 6208
6205 6209 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6206 6210 Nathan and Janko.
6207 6211
6208 6212 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6209 6213
6210 6214 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6211 6215 too long.
6212 6216
6213 6217 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6214 6218
6215 6219 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6216 6220 ?sin and sin?
6217 6221 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6218 6222 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6219 6223 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6220 6224 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6221 6225
6222 6226 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6223 6227
6224 6228 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6225 6229
6226 6230 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6227 6231 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6228 6232
6229 6233 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6230 6234 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6231 6235 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6232 6236 me).
6233 6237
6234 6238 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6235 6239 protected (reasonably).
6236 6240
6237 6241 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6238 6242 note through it (it was too long).
6239 6243
6240 6244 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6241 6245 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6242 6246 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6243 6247 parameters.
6244 6248
6245 6249
6246 6250 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6247 6251
6248 6252 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6249 6253 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6250 6254 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6251 6255
6252 6256 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6253 6257 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6254 6258 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6255 6259
6256 6260 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6257 6261
6258 6262 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6259 6263
6260 6264 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6261 6265
6262 6266 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6263 6267 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6264 6268 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6265 6269 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6266 6270 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6267 6271 break.
6268 6272
6269 6273 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6270 6274 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6271 6275 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6272 6276 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6273 6277 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6274 6278 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6275 6279
6276 6280 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6277 6281 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6278 6282 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6279 6283 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6280 6284 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6281 6285 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6282 6286 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6283 6287 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6284 6288 trick.
6285 6289
6286 6290 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6287 6291 session restoring.
6288 6292
6289 6293 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6290 6294 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6291 6295 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6292 6296 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6293 6297 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6294 6298
6295 6299 * Started ChangeLog.
