     There are lots of things that :class:`ConfigLoader` does not do.  It does
     not implement complex logic for finding config files.  It does not handle
     default values or merge multiple configs.  These things need to be

 # FIXME: the Magic class is a mixin for now, and will unfortunately remain so
 # until a full rewrite is made.  I've cleaned all cross-class uses of
 # attributes and methods, but too much user code out there relies on the
 # equlity %foo == __IP.magic_foo, so I can't actually remove the mixin usage.
 #
 # But at least now, all the pieces have been separated and we could, in
 # principle, stop using the mixin.  This will ease the transition to the
 # chainsaw branch.

         When scripts are executed via %run, we must keep a reference to the
         namespace of their __main__ module (a FakeModule instance) around so
         that Python doesn't clear it, rendering objects defined therein
         useless.
 
         This method keeps said reference in a private dict, keyed by the
         absolute path of the module object (which corresponds to the script
         path).  This way, for multiple executions of the same script we only
         keep one copy of the namespace (the last one), thus preventing memory
         leaks from old references while allowing the objects from the last
         execution to be accessible.
 
         Note: we can not allow the actual FakeModule instances to be deleted,
         because of how Python tears down modules (it hard-sets all their
         references to None without regard for reference counts).  This method
         must therefore make a *copy* of the given namespace, to allow the
         original module's __dict__ to be cleared and reused.

       GUI frameworks like wxPython trap exceptions and call
       sys.excepthook themselves.  I guess this is a feature that
       enables them to keep running after exceptions that would
       otherwise kill their mainloop. This is a bother for IPython
       which excepts to catch all of the program exceptions with a try:
       except: statement.
 
       Normally, IPython sets sys.excepthook to a CrashHandler instance, so if
       any app directly invokes sys.excepthook, it will look to the user like
       IPython crashed.  In order to work around this, we can disable the
       CrashHandler and replace it with this excepthook instead, which prints a
       regular traceback using our InteractiveTB.  In this fashion, apps which
       call sys.excepthook will generate a regular-looking exception from
       IPython, and the CrashHandler will only be triggered by real IPython
       crashes.
 
       This hook should be used sparingly, only in places which are not likely
       to be true IPython errors.

 IPython's 'magic' functions
 ===========================
 
 The magic function system provides a series of functions which allow you to
 control the behavior of IPython itself, plus a lot of system-type
 features. All these functions are prefixed with a % character, but parameters
 are given without parentheses or quotes.
 
 NOTE: If you have 'automagic' enabled (via the command line option or with the
 %automagic function), you don't need to type in the % explicitly.  By default,
 IPython ships with automagic on, so you should only rarely need the % escape.
 
 Example: typing '%cd mydir' (without the quotes) changes you working directory
 to 'mydir', if it exists.
 
 You can define your own magic functions to extend the system. See the supplied
 ipythonrc and example-magic.py files for details (in your ipython
 configuration directory, typically $HOME/.ipython/).
 
 You can also define your own aliased names for magic functions. In your
 ipythonrc file, placing a line like:
 
   execute __IPYTHON__.magic_pf = __IPYTHON__.magic_profile
 
 will define %pf as a new name for %profile.
 
 You can also call magics in code using the ipmagic() function, which IPython
 automatically adds to the builtin namespace.  Type 'ipmagic?' for details.
 
 For a list of the available magic functions, use %lsmagic. For a description
 of any of them, type %magic_name?, e.g. '%cd?'.
 
 Currently the magic system has the following functions:\n"""

         %psearch [options] PATTERN [OBJECT TYPE]
 
         Note: ? can be used as a synonym for %psearch, at the beginning or at
         the end: both a*? and ?a* are equivalent to '%psearch a*'.  Still, the
         rest of the command line must be unchanged (options come first), so
         for example the following forms are equivalent
 
         %psearch -i a* function
         -i a* function?
         ?-i a* function
 
         Arguments:
         
           PATTERN
 
           where PATTERN is a string containing * as a wildcard similar to its
           use in a shell.  The pattern is matched in all namespaces on the
           search path. By default objects starting with a single _ are not
           matched, many IPython generated objects have a single
           underscore. The default is case insensitive matching. Matching is
           also done on the attributes of objects and not only on the objects
           in a module.
 
           [OBJECT TYPE]
 
           Is the name of a python type from the types module. The name is
           given in lowercase without the ending type, ex. StringType is
           written string. By adding a type here only objects matching the
           given type are matched. Using all here makes the pattern match all
           types (this is the default).
 
         Options:
 
           -a: makes the pattern match even objects whose names start with a
           single underscore.  These names are normally ommitted from the
           search.
 
           -i/-c: make the pattern case insensitive/sensitive.  If neither of
           these options is given, the default is read from your ipythonrc
           file.  The option name which sets this value is
           'wildcards_case_sensitive'.  If this option is not specified in your
           ipythonrc file, IPython's internal default is to do a case sensitive
           search.
 
           -e/-s NAMESPACE: exclude/search a given namespace.  The pattern you
           specifiy can be searched in any of the following namespaces:
           'builtin', 'user', 'user_global','internal', 'alias', where
           'builtin' and 'user' are the search defaults.  Note that you should
           not use quotes when specifying namespaces.
 
           'Builtin' contains the python module builtin, 'user' contains all
           user data, 'alias' only contain the shell aliases and no python
           objects, 'internal' contains objects used by IPython.  The
           'user_global' namespace is only used by embedded IPython instances,
           and it contains module-level globals.  You can add namespaces to the
           search with -s or exclude them with -e (these options can be given
           more than once).
     
         Examples:
        
         %psearch a*            -> objects beginning with an a
         %psearch -e builtin a* -> objects NOT in the builtin space starting in a
         %psearch a* function   -> all functions beginning with an a
         %psearch re.e*         -> objects beginning with an e in module re
         %psearch r*.e*         -> objects that start with e in modules starting in r
         %psearch r*.* string   -> all strings in modules beginning with r
 
         Case sensitve search:
        
         %psearch -c a*         list all object beginning with lower case a
 
         Show objects beginning with a single _:

           Since this marker is always the same, filtering only the output from
           a log is very easy, using for example a simple awk call:

           '_ip.magic("Exit").  If the -r flag is given, all input is logged

         Usage:
           %prun [options] statement
 
         The given statement (which doesn't require quote marks) is run via the
         python profiler in a manner similar to the profile.run() function.
         Namespaces are internally managed to work correctly; profile.run
         cannot be used in IPython because it makes certain assumptions about
         namespaces which do not hold under IPython.
 
         Options:
 
         -l <limit>: you can place restrictions on what or how much of the
         profile gets printed. The limit value can be:
 
           * A string: only information for function names containing this string
           is printed.
 
           * An integer: only these many lines are printed.
 
           * A float (between 0 and 1): this fraction of the report is printed
           (for example, use a limit of 0.4 to see the topmost 40% only).
 
         You can combine several limits with repeated use of the option. For
         example, '-l __init__ -l 5' will print only the topmost 5 lines of
         information about class constructors.
 
         -r: return the pstats.Stats object generated by the profiling. This
         object has all the information about the profile in it, and you can
         later use it for further analysis or in other functions.
 
        -s <key>: sort profile by given key. You can provide more than one key
         by using the option several times: '-s key1 -s key2 -s key3...'. The
         default sorting key is 'time'.
 
         The following is copied verbatim from the profile documentation
         referenced below:
 
         When more than one key is provided, additional keys are used as
         secondary criteria when the there is equality in all keys selected
         before them.
         
         Abbreviations can be used for any key names, as long as the
         abbreviation is unambiguous.  The following are the keys currently
         defined:
 
                 Valid Arg       Meaning
                   "calls"      call count
                   "cumulative" cumulative time
                   "file"       file name
                   "module"     file name
                   "pcalls"     primitive call count
                   "line"       line number
                   "name"       function name
                   "nfl"        name/file/line
                   "stdname"    standard name
                   "time"       internal time
 
         Note that all sorts on statistics are in descending order (placing
         most time consuming items first), where as name, file, and line number
         searches are in ascending order (i.e., alphabetical). The subtle
         distinction between "nfl" and "stdname" is that the standard name is a
         sort of the name as printed, which means that the embedded line
         numbers get compared in an odd way.  For example, lines 3, 20, and 40
         would (if the file names were the same) appear in the string order
         "20" "3" and "40".  In contrast, "nfl" does a numeric compare of the
         line numbers.  In fact, sort_stats("nfl") is the same as
         sort_stats("name", "file", "line").
 
         -T <filename>: save profile results as shown on screen to a text
         file. The profile is still shown on screen.
 
         -D <filename>: save (via dump_stats) profile statistics to given
         filename. This data is in a format understod by the pstats module, and
         is generated by a call to the dump_stats() method of profile
         objects. The profile is still shown on screen.
 
         If you want to run complete programs under the profiler's control, use
         '%run -p [prof_opts] filename.py [args to program]' where prof_opts
         contains profiler specific options as described here.

         Usage:\\
           %run [-n -i -t [-N<N>] -d [-b<N>] -p [profile options]] file [args]
         
         Parameters after the filename are passed as command-line arguments to
         the program (put in sys.argv). Then, control returns to IPython's
         prompt.
 
         This is similar to running at a system prompt:\\
           $ python file args\\
         but with the advantage of giving you IPython's tracebacks, and of
         loading all variables into your interactive namespace for further use
         (unless -p is used, see below).
 
         The file is executed in a namespace initially consisting only of
         __name__=='__main__' and sys.argv constructed as indicated. It thus
         sees its environment as if it were being run as a stand-alone program
         (except for sharing global objects such as previously imported
         modules). But after execution, the IPython interactive namespace gets
         updated with all variables defined in the program (except for __name__
         and sys.argv). This allows for very convenient loading of code for
         interactive work, while giving each program a 'clean sheet' to run in.
 
         Options:
         
         -n: __name__ is NOT set to '__main__', but to the running file's name
         without extension (as python does under import).  This allows running
         scripts and reloading the definitions in them without calling code
         protected by an ' if __name__ == "__main__" ' clause.
 
         -i: run the file in IPython's namespace instead of an empty one. This
         is useful if you are experimenting with code written in a text editor
         which depends on variables defined interactively.
 
         -e: ignore sys.exit() calls or SystemExit exceptions in the script
         being run.  This is particularly useful if IPython is being used to
         run unittests, which always exit with a sys.exit() call.  In such
         cases you are interested in the output of the test results, not in
         seeing a traceback of the unittest module.
 
         -t: print timing information at the end of the run.  IPython will give
         you an estimated CPU time consumption for your script, which under
         Unix uses the resource module to avoid the wraparound problems of
         time.clock().  Under Unix, an estimate of time spent on system tasks
         is also given (for Windows platforms this is reported as 0.0).
 
         If -t is given, an additional -N<N> option can be given, where <N>
         must be an integer indicating how many times you want the script to
         run.  The final timing report will include total and per run results.
 
         For example (testing the script uniq_stable.py):
 
             In [1]: run -t uniq_stable
 
             IPython CPU timings (estimated):\\
               User  :    0.19597 s.\\
               System:        0.0 s.\\
 
             In [2]: run -t -N5 uniq_stable
 
             IPython CPU timings (estimated):\\
             Total runs performed: 5\\
               Times :      Total       Per run\\
               User  :   0.910862 s,  0.1821724 s.\\
               System:        0.0 s,        0.0 s.
 
         -d: run your program under the control of pdb, the Python debugger.
         This allows you to execute your program step by step, watch variables,
         etc.  Internally, what IPython does is similar to calling:
         
           pdb.run('execfile("YOURFILENAME")')
 
         with a breakpoint set on line 1 of your file.  You can change the line
         number for this automatic breakpoint to be <N> by using the -bN option
         (where N must be an integer).  For example:
 
           %run -d -b40 myscript
 
         will set the first breakpoint at line 40 in myscript.py.  Note that
         the first breakpoint must be set on a line which actually does
         something (not a comment or docstring) for it to stop execution.
 
         When the pdb debugger starts, you will see a (Pdb) prompt.  You must
         first enter 'c' (without qoutes) to start execution up to the first
         breakpoint.
 
         Entering 'help' gives information about the use of the debugger.  You
         can easily see pdb's full documentation with "import pdb;pdb.help()"
         at a prompt.
 
         -p: run program under the control of the Python profiler module (which
         prints a detailed report of execution times, function calls, etc).
 
         You can pass other options after -p which affect the behavior of the
         profiler itself. See the docs for %prun for details.
 
         In this mode, the program's variables do NOT propagate back to the
         IPython interactive namespace (because they remain in the namespace
         where the profiler executes them).
 
         Internally this triggers a call to %prun, see its documentation for
         details on the options available specifically for profiling.
 
         There is one special usage for which the text above doesn't apply:
         if the filename ends with .ipy, the file is run as ipython script,
         just as if the commands were written on IPython prompt.

         Time execution of a Python statement or expression using the timeit
         module.
 
         Options:
         -n<N>: execute the given statement <N> times in a loop. If this value
         is not given, a fitting value is chosen. 
         
         -r<R>: repeat the loop iteration <R> times and take the best result.
         Default: 3
         
         -t: use time.time to measure the time, which is the default on Unix.
         This function measures wall time.
         
         -c: use time.clock to measure the time, which is the default on
         Windows and measures wall time. On Unix, resource.getrusage is used
         instead and returns the CPU user time.
 
         -p<P>: use a precision of <P> digits to display the timing result.
         Default: 3
 
         
         Examples:
 
           In [1]: %timeit pass

         The times reported by %timeit will be slightly higher than those
         reported by the timeit.py script when variables are accessed. This is
         due to the fact that %timeit executes the statement in the namespace
         of the shell, compared with timeit.py, which uses a single setup
         statement to import function or create variables. Generally, the bias

         Usage:\\
           %macro [options] name n1-n2 n3-n4 ... n5 .. n6 ...
 
         Options:
         
           -r: use 'raw' input.  By default, the 'processed' history is used,
           so that magics are loaded in their transformed version to valid
           Python.  If this option is given, the raw input as typed as the
           command line is used instead.
 
         This will define a global variable called `name` which is a string
         made of joining the slices and lines you specify (n1,n2,... numbers
         above) from your input history into a single string. This variable
         acts like an automatic function which re-executes those lines as if
         you had typed them. You just type 'name' at the prompt and the code
         executes.
 
         The notation for indicating number ranges is: n1-n2 means 'use line
         numbers n1,...n2' (the endpoint is included).  That is, '5-7' means
         using the lines numbered 5,6 and 7.
 
         Note: as a 'hidden' feature, you can also use traditional python slice
         notation, where N:M means numbers N through M-1.
 
         For example, if your history contains (%hist prints it):
         
           44: x=1
           45: y=3
           46: z=x+y
           47: print x
           48: a=5
           49: print 'x',x,'y',y
 
         you can create a macro with lines 44 through 47 (included) and line 49
         called my_macro with:
 
           In [55]: %macro my_macro 44-47 49
 
         Now, typing `my_macro` (without quotes) will re-execute all this code
         in one pass.
 
         You don't need to give the line-numbers in order, and any given line
         number can appear multiple times. You can assemble macros with any
         lines from your input history in any order.
 
         The macro is a simple object which holds its value in an attribute,
         but IPython's display system checks for macros and executes them as
         code instead of printing them when you type their name.
 
         You can view a macro's contents by explicitly printing it with:
         
           'print macro_name'.
 
         For one-off cases which DON'T contain magic function calls in them you
         can obtain similar results by explicitly executing slices from your
         input history with:

         Usage:
           %edit [options] [args]
 
         %edit runs IPython's editor hook.  The default version of this hook is
         set to call the __IPYTHON__.rc.editor command.  This is read from your
         environment variable $EDITOR.  If this isn't found, it will default to
         vi under Linux/Unix and to notepad under Windows.  See the end of this
         docstring for how to change the editor hook.
 
         You can also set the value of this editor via the command line option
         '-editor' or in your ipythonrc file. This is useful if you wish to use
         specifically for IPython an editor different from your typical default
         (and for Windows users who typically don't set environment variables).
 
         This command allows you to conveniently edit multi-line code right in
         your IPython session.
         
         If called without arguments, %edit opens up an empty editor with a
         temporary file and will execute the contents of this file when you
         close it (don't forget to save it!).
 
 
         Options:
 
         -n <number>: open the editor at a specified line number.  By default,
         the IPython editor hook uses the unix syntax 'editor +N filename', but
         you can configure this by providing your own modified hook if your
         favorite editor supports line-number specifications with a different
         syntax.
         
         -p: this will call the editor with the same data as the previous time
         it was used, regardless of how long ago (in your current session) it
         was.
 
         -r: use 'raw' input.  This option only applies to input taken from the
         user's history.  By default, the 'processed' history is used, so that
         magics are loaded in their transformed version to valid Python.  If
         this option is given, the raw input as typed as the command line is
         used instead.  When you exit the editor, it will be executed by
         IPython's own processor.
         
         -x: do not execute the edited code immediately upon exit. This is
         mainly useful if you are editing programs which need to be called with
         command line arguments, which you can then do using %run.
 
 
         Arguments:
 
         If arguments are given, the following possibilites exist:
 
         - The arguments are numbers or pairs of colon-separated numbers (like
         1 4:8 9). These are interpreted as lines of previous input to be
         loaded into the editor. The syntax is the same of the %macro command.
 
         - If the argument doesn't start with a number, it is evaluated as a
         variable and its contents loaded into the editor. You can thus edit
         any string which contains python code (including the result of
         previous edits).
 
         - If the argument is the name of an object (other than a string),
         IPython will try to locate the file where it was defined and open the
         editor at the point where it is defined. You can use `%edit function`
         to load an editor exactly at the point where 'function' is defined,
         edit it and have the file be executed automatically.
 
         If the object is a macro (see %macro for details), this opens up your
         specified editor with a temporary file containing the macro's data.
         Upon exit, the macro is reloaded with the contents of the file.
 
         Note: opening at an exact line is only supported under Unix, and some
         editors (like kedit and gedit up to Gnome 2.8) do not understand the
         '+NUMBER' parameter necessary for this feature. Good editors like
         (X)Emacs, vi, jed, pico and joe all do.
 
         - If the argument is not found as a variable, IPython will look for a
         file with that name (adding .py if necessary) and load it into the
         editor. It will execute its contents with execfile() when you exit,
         loading any code in the file into your interactive namespace.
 
         After executing your code, %edit will return as output the code you
         typed in the editor (except when it was an existing file). This way
         you can reload the code in further invocations of %edit as a variable,
         via _<NUMBER> or Out[<NUMBER>], where <NUMBER> is the prompt number of
         the output.
 
         Note that %edit is also available through the alias %ed.
 
         This is an example of creating a simple function inside the editor and
         then modifying it. First, start up the editor:
 
         In [1]: ed
         Editing... done. Executing edited code...
         Out[1]: 'def foo():n    print "foo() was defined in an editing session"n'
 
         We can then call the function foo():
         
         In [2]: foo()
         foo() was defined in an editing session
 
         Now we edit foo.  IPython automatically loads the editor with the
         (temporary) file where foo() was previously defined:
         
         In [3]: ed foo
         Editing... done. Executing edited code...
 
         And if we call foo() again we get the modified version:
         
         In [4]: foo()
         foo() has now been changed!
 
         Here is an example of how to edit a code snippet successive
         times. First we call the editor:
 
         In [5]: ed
         Editing... done. Executing edited code...
         hello
         Out[5]: "print 'hello'n"
 
         Now we call it again with the previous output (stored in _):
 
         In [6]: ed _
         Editing... done. Executing edited code...
         hello world
         Out[6]: "print 'hello world'n"
 
         Now we call it with the output #8 (stored in _8, also as Out[8]):
 
         In [7]: ed _8
         Editing... done. Executing edited code...
         hello again
         Out[7]: "print 'hello again'n"
 
 
         Changing the default editor hook:
 
         If you wish to write your own editor hook, you can put it in a
         configuration file which you load at startup time.  The default hook
         is defined in the IPython.core.hooks module, and you can use that as a
         starting example for further modifications.  That file also has
         general instructions on how to set a new hook for use once you've
         defined it."""

         '%alias alias_name cmd' defines 'alias_name' as an alias for 'cmd'
 
         Then, typing 'alias_name params' will execute the system command 'cmd
         params' (from your underlying operating system).
 
         Aliases have lower precedence than magic functions and Python normal
         variables, so if 'foo' is both a Python variable and an alias, the
         alias can not be executed until 'del foo' removes the Python variable.
 
         You can use the %l specifier in an alias definition to represent the
         whole line when the alias is called.  For example:
 
           In [2]: alias all echo "Input in brackets: <%l>"
           In [3]: all hello world
           Input in brackets: <hello world>
 
         You can also define aliases with parameters using %s specifiers (one
         per parameter):
         
           In [1]: alias parts echo first %s second %s
           In [2]: %parts A B
           first A second B
           In [3]: %parts A
           Incorrect number of arguments: 2 expected.
           parts is an alias to: 'echo first %s second %s'
 
         Note that %l and %s are mutually exclusive.  You can only use one or
         the other in your aliases.
 
         Aliases expand Python variables just like system calls using ! or !! 
         do: all expressions prefixed with '$' get expanded.  For details of
         the semantic rules, see PEP-215:
         http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.  This is the library used by
         IPython for variable expansion.  If you want to access a true shell
         variable, an extra $ is necessary to prevent its expansion by IPython:
 
         In [6]: alias show echo
         In [7]: PATH='A Python string'
         In [8]: show $PATH
         A Python string
         In [9]: show $$PATH
         /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
 
         You can use the alias facility to acess all of $PATH.  See the %rehash
         and %rehashx functions, which automatically create aliases for the
         contents of your $PATH.
 
         If called with no parameters, %alias prints the current alias table."""

         DEPRECATED. Suboptimal, retained for backwards compatibility.
         
         You should use the form 'var = !command' instead. Example:
          
          "%sc -l myfiles = ls ~" should now be written as
             
          "myfiles = !ls ~"
          
         myfiles.s, myfiles.l and myfiles.n still apply as documented
         below.
 
         --
         %sc [options] varname=command
 
         IPython will run the given command using commands.getoutput(), and
         will then update the user's interactive namespace with a variable
         called varname, containing the value of the call.  Your command can
         contain shell wildcards, pipes, etc.
 
         The '=' sign in the syntax is mandatory, and the variable name you
         supply must follow Python's standard conventions for valid names.
         
         (A special format without variable name exists for internal use)
 
         Options:
 
           -l: list output.  Split the output on newlines into a list before
           assigning it to the given variable.  By default the output is stored
           as a single string.
 
           -v: verbose.  Print the contents of the variable.
 
         In most cases you should not need to split as a list, because the
         returned value is a special type of string which can automatically
         provide its contents either as a list (split on newlines) or as a
         space-separated string.  These are convenient, respectively, either
         for sequential processing or to be passed to a shell command.
 
         For example:
 
         # all-random
         
             # Capture into variable a
             In [1]: sc a=ls *py
 
             # a is a string with embedded newlines
             In [2]: a
             Out[2]: 'setup.py\\nwin32_manual_post_install.py'
 
             # which can be seen as a list:
             In [3]: a.l
             Out[3]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']
 
             # or as a whitespace-separated string:
             In [4]: a.s
             Out[4]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
 
             # a.s is useful to pass as a single command line:
             In [5]: !wc -l $a.s
               146 setup.py
               130 win32_manual_post_install.py
               276 total
 
             # while the list form is useful to loop over:
             In [6]: for f in a.l:
               ...:      !wc -l $f
               ...:
             146 setup.py
             130 win32_manual_post_install.py
 
         Similiarly, the lists returned by the -l option are also special, in
         the sense that you can equally invoke the .s attribute on them to
         automatically get a whitespace-separated string from their contents:
 
             In [7]: sc -l b=ls *py
 
             In [8]: b
             Out[8]: ['setup.py', 'win32_manual_post_install.py']
 
             In [9]: b.s
             Out[9]: 'setup.py win32_manual_post_install.py'
 
         In summary, both the lists and strings used for ouptut capture have
         the following special attributes:
 
             .l (or .list) : value as list.
             .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
             .s (or .spstr): value as space-separated string.

         cache Out[N] and in the '_N' automatic variables.
 
         Notes:
 
         1) If an input line begins with '!!', then %sx is automatically
         invoked.  That is, while:
           !ls
         causes ipython to simply issue system('ls'), typing
           !!ls
         is a shorthand equivalent to:
           %sx ls
         
         2) %sx differs from %sc in that %sx automatically splits into a list,
         like '%sc -l'.  The reason for this is to make it as easy as possible
         to process line-oriented shell output via further python commands.
         %sc is meant to provide much finer control, but requires more
         typing.
 
         3) Just like %sc -l, this is a list with special attributes:
 
           .l (or .list) : value as list.
           .n (or .nlstr): value as newline-separated string.
           .s (or .spstr): value as whitespace-separated string.

         execution starts, a message will be printed indicating the job
         number.  If your job number is 5, you can use
 
           myvar = jobs.result(5)  or  myvar = jobs[5].result
 
         to assign this result to variable 'myvar'.
 
         IPython has a job manager, accessible via the 'jobs' object.  You can
         type jobs? to get more information about it, and use jobs.<TAB> to see
         its attributes.  All attributes not starting with an underscore are
         meant for public use.
 
         In particular, look at the jobs.new() method, which is used to create
         new jobs.  This magic %bg function is just a convenience wrapper
         around jobs.new(), for expression-based jobs.  If you want to create a
         new job with an explicit function object and arguments, you must call
         jobs.new() directly.
 
         The jobs.new docstring also describes in detail several important
         caveats associated with a thread-based model for background job
         execution.  Type jobs.new? for details.
 
         You can check the status of all jobs with jobs.status().
 
         The jobs variable is set by IPython into the Python builtin namespace.
         If you ever declare a variable named 'jobs', you will shadow this
         name.  You can either delete your global jobs variable to regain
         access to the job manager, or make a new name and assign it manually
         to the manager (stored in IPython's namespace).  For example, to

 IPython -- An enhanced Interactive Python
 =========================================
 
 A Python shell with automatic history (input and output), dynamic object
 introspection, easier configuration, command completion, access to the system
 shell and more.
 
 IPython can also be embedded in running programs. See EMBEDDING below.
 
 
 USAGE
        ipython [options] files
 
        If invoked with no options, it executes all the files listed in
        sequence and drops you into the interpreter while still acknowledging
        any options you may have set in your ipythonrc file. This behavior is
        different from standard Python, which when called as python -i will
        only execute one file and will ignore your configuration setup.
 
        Please note that some of the configuration options are not available at
        the command line, simply because they are not practical here. Look into
        your ipythonrc configuration file for details on those. This file
        typically installed in the $HOME/.ipython directory.
 
        For Windows users, $HOME resolves to C:\\Documents and
        Settings\\YourUserName in most instances, and _ipython is used instead
        of .ipython, since some Win32 programs have problems with dotted names
        in directories.
 
        In the rest of this text, we will refer to this directory as
        IPYTHONDIR.
 
 REGULAR OPTIONS
        After the above threading options have been given, regular options  can
        follow  in any order.  All options can be abbreviated to their shortest
        non-ambiguous form and are case-sensitive.  One or two  dashes  can  be
        used.   Some options have an alternate short form, indicated after a |.
 
        Most options can also be set from your  ipythonrc  configuration  file.
        See the provided examples for assistance.  Options given on the comman-
        dline override the values set in the ipythonrc file.
 
        All options with a [no] prepended can be specified in negated form
        (using -nooption instead of -option) to turn the feature off.
 
        -h, --help
               Show summary of options.
 
        -autocall <val>
               Make IPython automatically call any callable object even if you
               didn't type explicit parentheses. For example, 'str 43' becomes
               'str(43)' automatically.  The value can be '0' to disable the
               feature, '1' for 'smart' autocall, where it is not applied if
               there are no more arguments on the line, and '2' for 'full'
               autocall, where all callable objects are automatically called
               (even if no arguments are present).  The default is '1'.
 
        -[no]autoindent
               Turn automatic indentation on/off.
 
        -[no]automagic
               Make magic commands automatic (without needing their first char-
               acter to be %).  Type %magic at  the  IPython  prompt  for  more
               information.
 
        -[no]autoedit_syntax
               When a syntax error occurs after editing a file, automatically
               open the file to the trouble causing line for convenient fixing.
 
        -[no]banner
               Print the intial information banner (default on).
 
        -c <command>
               Execute  the  given  command  string, and set sys.argv to ['c'].
               This is similar to the -c option in  the  normal  Python  inter-
               preter.
 
        -cache_size|cs <n>
               Size  of  the output cache (maximum number of entries to hold in
               memory).  The default is 1000, you can change it permanently  in
               your  config  file.   Setting  it  to  0 completely disables the
               caching system, and the minimum value accepted  is  20  (if  you
               provide  a value less than 20, it is reset to 0 and a warning is
               issued).  This limit is defined because otherwise  you'll  spend
               more time re-flushing a too small cache than working.
 
        -classic|cl
               Gives IPython a similar feel to the classic Python prompt.
 
        -colors <scheme>
               Color  scheme  for  prompts  and exception reporting.  Currently
               implemented: NoColor, Linux, and LightBG.
 
        -[no]color_info
               IPython can display information about objects via a set of func-
               tions, and optionally can use colors for this, syntax highlight-
               ing source code and various other  elements.   However,  because
               this  information  is  passed  through a pager (like 'less') and
               many pagers get confused with color codes, this option is off by
               default.   You  can  test  it and turn it on permanently in your
               ipythonrc file if it works for you.  As a reference, the  'less'
               pager  supplied  with  Mandrake 8.2 works ok, but that in RedHat
               7.2 doesn't.
 
               Test it and turn it on permanently if it works with your system.
               The  magic function @color_info allows you to toggle this inter-
               actively for testing.
 
        -[no]confirm_exit
               Set to confirm when you try to exit IPython with  an  EOF  (Con-
               trol-D in Unix, Control-Z/Enter in Windows). Note that using the
               magic functions @Exit or @Quit you  can  force  a  direct  exit,
               bypassing any confirmation.
 
        -[no]debug
               Show  information  about the loading process. Very useful to pin
               down problems with your configuration files or  to  get  details
               about session restores.
 
        -[no]deep_reload
               IPython  can use the deep_reload module which reloads changes in
               modules recursively (it replaces the reload() function,  so  you
               don't need to change anything to use it). deep_reload() forces a
               full reload of modules whose code may have  changed,  which  the
               default reload() function does not.
 
               When  deep_reload  is off, IPython will use the normal reload(),
               but deep_reload will still be available as dreload(). This  fea-
               ture  is  off  by default [which means that you have both normal
               reload() and dreload()].
 
        -editor <name>
               Which editor to use with the @edit command. By default,  IPython
               will  honor  your EDITOR environment variable (if not set, vi is
               the Unix default and notepad the Windows one). Since this editor
               is  invoked on the fly by IPython and is meant for editing small
               code snippets, you may want to use a small,  lightweight  editor
               here (in case your default EDITOR is something like Emacs).
 
        -ipythondir <name>
               The  name  of  your  IPython configuration directory IPYTHONDIR.
               This can also be  specified  through  the  environment  variable
               IPYTHONDIR.
 
        -log|l Generate  a log file of all input. The file is named
               ipython_log.py in your current directory (which prevents logs
               from multiple IPython sessions from trampling each other). You
               can use this to later restore a session by loading your logfile
               as a file to be executed with option -logplay (see below).
 
        -logfile|lf
               Specify the name of your logfile.
 
        -logplay|lp
               Replay  a previous log. For restoring a session as close as pos-
               sible to the state you left it in, use this option  (don't  just
               run the logfile). With -logplay, IPython will try to reconstruct
               the previous working environment in full, not just  execute  the
               commands in the logfile.
               When  a  session is restored, logging is automatically turned on
               again with the name of the logfile it was invoked  with  (it  is
               read  from the log header). So once you've turned logging on for
               a session, you can quit IPython and reload it as many  times  as
               you  want  and  it  will continue to log its history and restore
               from the beginning every time.
 
               Caveats: there are limitations in this option. The history vari-
               ables  _i*,_* and _dh don't get restored properly. In the future
               we will try to implement full  session  saving  by  writing  and
               retrieving  a failed because of inherent limitations of Python's
               Pickle module, so this may have to wait.
 
        -[no]messages
               Print messages which IPython collects about its startup  process
               (default on).
 
        -[no]pdb
               Automatically  call the pdb debugger after every uncaught excep-
               tion. If you are used to debugging  using  pdb,  this  puts  you
               automatically  inside of it after any call (either in IPython or
               in code called by it) which triggers  an  exception  which  goes
               uncaught.
 
        -[no]pprint
               IPython  can  optionally  use the pprint (pretty printer) module
               for displaying results. pprint tends to give a nicer display  of
               nested  data structures. If you like it, you can turn it on per-
               manently in your config file (default off).
 
        -profile|p <name>
               Assume that your config file is ipythonrc-<name> (looks in  cur-
               rent dir first, then in IPYTHONDIR). This is a quick way to keep
               and load multiple config files for different  tasks,  especially
               if  you  use  the include option of config files. You can keep a
               basic IPYTHONDIR/ipythonrc file and then have  other  'profiles'
               which  include  this  one  and  load extra things for particular
               tasks. For example:
 
               1) $HOME/.ipython/ipythonrc : load basic things you always want.
               2)  $HOME/.ipython/ipythonrc-math  :  load  (1)  and basic math-
               related modules.
               3) $HOME/.ipython/ipythonrc-numeric : load (1) and  Numeric  and
               plotting modules.
 
               Since  it is possible to create an endless loop by having circu-
               lar file inclusions, IPython will stop if it reaches  15  recur-
               sive inclusions.
 
        -prompt_in1|pi1 <string>
               Specify  the string used for input prompts. Note that if you are
               using numbered prompts, the number is represented with a '\#' in
               the  string.  Don't forget to quote strings with spaces embedded
               in them. Default: 'In [\#]: '.
 
               Most bash-like  escapes  can  be  used  to  customize  IPython's
               prompts, as well as a few additional ones which are IPython-spe-
               cific.  All valid prompt escapes are described in detail in  the
               Customization section of the IPython HTML/PDF manual.
 
        -prompt_in2|pi2 <string>
               Similar to the previous option, but used for the continuation
               prompts. The special sequence '\D' is similar to '\#', but with
               all digits replaced dots (so you can have your continuation
               prompt aligned with your input prompt).  Default: ' .\D.: '
               (note three spaces at the start for alignment with 'In [\#]').
 
        -prompt_out|po <string>
               String   used   for  output  prompts,  also  uses  numbers  like
               prompt_in1.  Default: 'Out[\#]:'.
 
        -quick Start in bare bones mode (no config file loaded).
 
        -rcfile <name>
               Name of your  IPython  resource  configuration  file.   normally
               IPython    loads   ipythonrc   (from   current   directory)   or
               IPYTHONDIR/ipythonrc.  If the loading of your config file fails,
               IPython  starts  with  a  bare  bones  configuration (no modules
               loaded at all).
 
        -[no]readline
               Use the readline library, which is needed to support  name  com-
               pletion  and  command history, among other things. It is enabled
               by default, but may cause  problems  for  users  of  X/Emacs  in
               Python comint or shell buffers.
 
               Note  that  emacs 'eterm' buffers (opened with M-x term) support
               IPython's readline and syntax coloring fine, only  'emacs'  (M-x
               shell and C-c !)  buffers do not.
 
        -screen_length|sl <n>
               Number  of lines of your screen.  This is used to control print-
               ing of very long strings.  Strings longer than  this  number  of
               lines  will be sent through a pager instead of directly printed.
 
               The default value for this is 0, which means IPython will  auto-
               detect  your  screen  size  every time it needs to print certain
               potentially long strings (this doesn't change  the  behavior  of
               the  'print'  keyword,  it's  only triggered internally). If for
               some reason this isn't working well (it needs  curses  support),
               specify it yourself. Otherwise don't change the default.
 
        -separate_in|si <string>
               Separator before input prompts.  Default '0.
 
        -separate_out|so <string>
               Separator before output prompts.  Default: 0 (nothing).
 
        -separate_out2|so2 <string>
               Separator after output prompts.  Default: 0 (nothing).
 
        -nosep Shorthand for '-separate_in 0 -separate_out 0 -separate_out2 0'.
               Simply removes all input/output separators.
 
        -upgrade
               Allows you to upgrade your  IPYTHONDIR  configuration  when  you
               install  a  new  version  of  IPython.   Since  new versions may
               include new command lines options or example files, this  copies
               updated ipythonrc-type files.  However, it backs up (with a .old
               extension) all files which it overwrites so that you  can  merge
               back any custimizations you might have in your personal files.
 
        -Version
               Print version information and exit.
 
        -wxversion <string>
               Select a specific version of wxPython (used in conjunction with
               -wthread). Requires the wxversion module, part of recent
               wxPython distributions.
 
        -xmode <modename>
               Mode  for  exception reporting.  The valid modes are Plain, Con-
               text, and Verbose.
 
               - Plain: similar to python's normal traceback printing.
 
               - Context: prints 5 lines of context  source  code  around  each
               line in the traceback.
 
               - Verbose: similar to Context, but additionally prints the vari-
               ables currently visible where the exception happened (shortening
               their  strings if too long).  This can potentially be very slow,
               if you happen to have a huge data structure whose string  repre-
               sentation  is  complex  to compute.  Your computer may appear to
               freeze for a while with cpu usage at 100%.  If this occurs,  you
               can cancel the traceback with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it more than
               once).
 
 
 EMBEDDING
        It is possible to start an IPython instance inside your own Python pro-
        grams.  In the documentation example files there are some illustrations
        on how to do this.
 
        This feature allows you to evalutate  dynamically  the  state  of  your
        code,  operate  with  your  variables, analyze them, etc.  Note however
        that any changes you make to values while in the shell do NOT propagate
        back  to  the running code, so it is safe to modify your values because
        you won't break your code in bizarre ways by doing so.

 IPython -- An enhanced Interactive Python
 =========================================
 
 IPython offers a combination of convenient shell features, special commands
 and a history mechanism for both input (command history) and output (results
 caching, similar to Mathematica). It is intended to be a fully compatible
 replacement for the standard Python interpreter, while offering vastly
 improved functionality and flexibility.
 
 At your system command line, type 'ipython -help' to see the command line
 options available. This document only describes interactive features.
 
 Warning: IPython relies on the existence of a global variable called __IP which
 controls the shell itself. If you redefine __IP to anything, bizarre behavior
 will quickly occur.
 
 MAIN FEATURES
 
 * Access to the standard Python help. As of Python 2.1, a help system is
   available with access to object docstrings and the Python manuals. Simply
   type 'help' (no quotes) to access it.
 
 * Magic commands: type %magic for information on the magic subsystem.
 
 * System command aliases, via the %alias command or the ipythonrc config file.
 
 * Dynamic object information:
 
   Typing ?word or word? prints detailed information about an object.  If
   certain strings in the object are too long (docstrings, code, etc.) they get
   snipped in the center for brevity.
 
   Typing ??word or word?? gives access to the full information without
   snipping long strings. Long strings are sent to the screen through the less
   pager if longer than the screen, printed otherwise.
 
   The ?/?? system gives access to the full source code for any object (if
   available), shows function prototypes and other useful information.
 
   If you just want to see an object's docstring, type '%pdoc object' (without
   quotes, and without % if you have automagic on).
 
   Both %pdoc and ?/?? give you access to documentation even on things which are
   not explicitely defined. Try for example typing {}.get? or after import os,
   type os.path.abspath??. The magic functions %pdef, %source and %file operate
   similarly.
 
 * Completion in the local namespace, by typing TAB at the prompt.
 
   At any time, hitting tab will complete any available python commands or
   variable names, and show you a list of the possible completions if there's
   no unambiguous one. It will also complete filenames in the current directory.
 
   This feature requires the readline and rlcomplete modules, so it won't work
   if your Python lacks readline support (such as under Windows).
 
 * Search previous command history in two ways (also requires readline):
 
   - Start typing, and then use Ctrl-p (previous,up) and Ctrl-n (next,down) to
   search through only the history items that match what you've typed so
   far. If you use Ctrl-p/Ctrl-n at a blank prompt, they just behave like
   normal arrow keys.
 
   - Hit Ctrl-r: opens a search prompt. Begin typing and the system searches
   your history for lines that match what you've typed so far, completing as
   much as it can.
 
 * Persistent command history across sessions (readline required).
 
 * Logging of input with the ability to save and restore a working session.
   
 * System escape with !. Typing !ls will run 'ls' in the current directory.
 
 * The reload command does a 'deep' reload of a module: changes made to the
   module since you imported will actually be available without having to exit.
 
 * Verbose and colored exception traceback printouts. See the magic xmode and
   xcolor functions for details (just type %magic).
 
 * Input caching system:
 
   IPython offers numbered prompts (In/Out) with input and output caching. All
   input is saved and can be retrieved as variables (besides the usual arrow
   key recall).
 
   The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
   _i: stores previous input.
   _ii: next previous.
   _iii: next-next previous.
   _ih : a list of all input _ih[n] is the input from line n.
 
   Additionally, global variables named _i<n> are dynamically created (<n>
   being the prompt counter), such that _i<n> == _ih[<n>]
 
   For example, what you typed at prompt 14 is available as _i14 and _ih[14].
 
   You can create macros which contain multiple input lines from this history,
   for later re-execution, with the %macro function.
 
   The history function %hist allows you to see any part of your input history
   by printing a range of the _i variables. Note that inputs which contain
   magic functions (%) appear in the history with a prepended comment. This is
   because they aren't really valid Python code, so you can't exec them.
 
 * Output caching system:
 
   For output that is returned from actions, a system similar to the input
   cache exists but using _ instead of _i. Only actions that produce a result
   (NOT assignments, for example) are cached. If you are familiar with
   Mathematica, IPython's _ variables behave exactly like Mathematica's %
   variables.
 
   The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
   _ (one underscore): previous output.
   __ (two underscores): next previous.
   ___ (three underscores): next-next previous.
 
   Global variables named _<n> are dynamically created (<n> being the prompt
   counter), such that the result of output <n> is always available as _<n>.
 
   Finally, a global dictionary named _oh exists with entries for all lines
   which generated output.
 
 * Directory history:
 
   Your history of visited directories is kept in the global list _dh, and the
   magic %cd command can be used to go to any entry in that list.
 
 * Auto-parentheses and auto-quotes (adapted from Nathan Gray's LazyPython)
 
     1. Auto-parentheses
         Callable objects (i.e. functions, methods, etc) can be invoked like
         this (notice the commas between the arguments):
             >>> callable_ob arg1, arg2, arg3
         and the input will be translated to this:
             --> callable_ob(arg1, arg2, arg3)
         You can force auto-parentheses by using '/' as the first character
         of a line.  For example:
             >>> /globals             # becomes 'globals()'
         Note that the '/' MUST be the first character on the line!  This
         won't work:
             >>> print /globals    # syntax error
             
         In most cases the automatic algorithm should work, so you should
         rarely need to explicitly invoke /. One notable exception is if you
         are trying to call a function with a list of tuples as arguments (the
         parenthesis will confuse IPython):
             In [1]: zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6)  # won't work
         but this will work:
             In [2]: /zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6)
             ------> zip ((1,2,3),(4,5,6))
             Out[2]= [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]        
 
         IPython tells you that it has altered your command line by
         displaying the new command line preceded by -->.  e.g.:
             In [18]: callable list
             -------> callable (list) 
 
     2. Auto-Quoting
         You can force auto-quoting of a function's arguments by using ',' as
         the first character of a line.  For example:

 ?foo.*abc*       : List names in 'foo' containing 'abc' in them.
 %magic           : Information about IPython's 'magic' % functions.
 
 Magic functions are prefixed by %, and typically take their arguments without

 Example magic function calls:
 
 %alias d ls -F   : 'd' is now an alias for 'ls -F'
 alias d ls -F    : Works if 'alias' not a python name
 alist = %alias   : Get list of aliases to 'alist'

 %cd??            : See help AND source for magic %cd
 
 System commands:
     
 !cp a.txt b/     : System command escape, calls os.system()
 cp a.txt b/      : after %rehashx, most system commands work without !
 cp ${f}.txt $bar : Variable expansion in magics and system commands

 """
 A lightweight Traits like module.
 
 This is designed to provide a lightweight, simple, pure Python version of
 many of the capabilities of enthought.traits.  This includes:
 
 * Validation
 * Type specification with defaults
 * Static and dynamic notification
 * Basic predefined types
 * An API that is similar to enthought.traits
 
 We don't support:
 
 * Delegation
 * Automatic GUI generation
 * A full set of trait types.  Most importantly, we don't provide container
   traitlets (list, dict, tuple) that can trigger notifications if their
   contents change.
 * API compatibility with enthought.traits
 
 There are also some important difference in our design:
 
 * enthought.traits does not validate default values.  We do.
 
 We choose to create this module because we need these capabilities, but
 we need them to be pure Python so they work in all Python implementations,
 including Jython and IronPython.
