10 12 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
11 13 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
12 14 bug discovered by Ville).

15 17
16 18 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
17 19 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
18 20
19 21 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache

23 25
24 26 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
25 27 Closes #149.
26 28
27 29 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
28 30 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
29 31 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
30 32
31 33 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
32 34
33 35 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
34 36 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
35 37 allows wildcards.
36 38
37 39 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
38 40 as opposed to returning nothing.
39 41
40 42 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
41 43 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
42 44
43 45 2007-04-22 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
44 46
45 47 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
46 48 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
47 49
48 50 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
49 51
50 52 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
51 53 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
52 54
53 55 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
54 56
55 57 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
56 58 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
57 59 IPython instance.
58 60
59 61 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
60 62
61 63 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
62 64 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
63 65 'Iptl' template notation,
64 66
65 67 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
66 68 safer & faster 'import' completer.
67 69
68 70 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
69 71 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
70 72
71 73 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
72 74 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
73 75 defmacro() etc.)
74 76
75 77 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
76 78
77 79 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
78 80
79 81 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
80 82
81 83 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
82 84
83 85 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
84 86 and later on win32.
85 87
86 88 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
87 89
88 90 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
89 91
90 92 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
91 93
92 94 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
93 95 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
94 96
95 97 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
96 98
97 99 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
98 100
99 101 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
100 102
101 103 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
102 104
103 105 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
104 106
105 107 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
106 108 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
107 109 every %run call.
108 110
109 111 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
110 112 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
111 113 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
112 114
113 115 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
114 116
115 117 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
116 118 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
117 119 Stefan for the fix.
118 120
119 121 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
120 122 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
121 123 him.
122 124
123 125 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
124 126 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
125 127 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
126 128 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
127 129
128 130 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
129 131 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
130 132 each runcode access.
131 133
132 134 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
133 135 message.
134 136
135 137 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
136 138
137 139 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
138 140 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
139 141 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
140 142
141 143 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
142 144 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
143 145 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
144 146 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
145 147 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
146 148 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
147 149 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
148 150 anything up until we know if it actually works.
149 151
150 152 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
151 153 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
152 154 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
153 155 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
154 156 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
155 157
156 158 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
157 159
158 160 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
159 161 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
160 162 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
161 163
162 164 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
163 165
164 166 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
165 167 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
166 168 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
167 169
168 170 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
169 171
170 172 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
171 173 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
172 174 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
173 175 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
174 176 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
175 177
176 178 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
177 179
178 180 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
179 181 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
180 182
181 183 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
182 184 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
183 185 details in comments left in the code.
184 186
185 187 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
186 188 similar to what we had for Numeric.
187 189
188 190 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
189 191 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
190 192 than readline. Closes #109.
191 193
192 194 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
193 195 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
194 196
195 197 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
196 198
197 199 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
198 200 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
199 201 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
200 202 ongoing Unicode support work.
201 203
202 204 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
203 205 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
204 206 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
205 207 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
206 208
207 209 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
208 210
209 211 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
210 212 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
211 213
212 214 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
213 215
214 216 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
215 217 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
216 218 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
217 219
218 220 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
219 221
220 222 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
221 223 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
222 224 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
223 225 long definition lines for functions.
224 226
225 227 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
226 228
227 229 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
228 230 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
229 231 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
230 232 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
231 233
232 234 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
233 235
234 236 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
235 237
236 238 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
237 239
238 240 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
239 241 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
240 242 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
241 243
242 244 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
243 245 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
244 246
245 247 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
246 248 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
247 249
248 250 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
249 251
250 252 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
251 253 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
252 254 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
253 255
254 256 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
255 257
256 258 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
257 259 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
258 260
259 261 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
260 262 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
261 263 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
262 264 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
263 265 sometimes return "" as last element.
264 266
265 267 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
266 268
267 269 * IPython/completer.py
268 270 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
269 271 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
270 272 would be completed too early.
271 273
272 274 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
273 275 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
274 276 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
275 277 backwards compatibility.
276 278
277 279 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
278 280 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
279 281 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
280 282 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
281 283 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
282 284 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
283 285 also works when debugging.
284 286
285 287 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
286 288 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
287 289
288 290 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
289 291 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
290 292 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
291 293
292 294 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
293 295 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
294 296 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
295 297
296 298 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
297 299 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
298 300
299 301 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
300 302
301 303 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
302 304 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
303 305 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
304 306
305 307 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
306 308
307 309 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
308 310 to be installed alongside igrid.
309 311 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
310 312 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
311 313 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
312 314
313 315 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
314 316
315 317 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
316 318 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
317 319 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
318 320
319 321 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
320 322
321 323 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
322 324 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
323 325
324 326 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
325 327 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
326 328
327 329 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
328 330
329 331 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
330 332 as the default browser.
331 333 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
332 334 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
333 335 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
334 336 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
335 337
336 338 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
337 339
338 340 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
339 341 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
340 342 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
341 343
342 344 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
343 345
344 346 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
345 347 Close help window if exiting igrid.
346 348
347 349 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
348 350
349 351 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
350 352 before calling functions from readline.
351 353
352 354 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
353 355
354 356 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
355 357 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
356 358 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
357 359 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
358 360 falls back to idump.
359 361
360 362 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
361 363
362 364 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
363 365 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
364 366 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
365 367 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
366 368
367 369 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
368 370
369 371 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
370 372 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
371 373 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
372 374 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
373 375 %magic with explicit % prefix.
374 376
375 377 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
376 378
377 379 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
378 380 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
379 381
380 382 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
381 383
382 384 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
383 385 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
384 386 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
385 387 one wants those instead.
386 388
387 389 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
388 390 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
389 391 instead.
390 392
391 393 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
392 394
393 395 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
394 396 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
395 397 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
396 398 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
397 399
398 400 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
399 401
400 402 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
401 403 stop marks.
402 404 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
403 405 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
404 406 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
405 407
406 408 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
407 409
408 410 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
409 411 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
410 412 sumbmitted to upstream.
411 413
412 414 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
413 415
414 416 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
415 417 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
416 418 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
417 419 running into an empty levels list later.
418 420
419 421 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
420 422
421 423 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
422 424 for the noitem object.
423 425
424 426 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
425 427
426 428 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
427 429 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
428 430 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
429 431 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
430 432
431 433 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
432 434
433 435 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
434 436 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
435 437 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
436 438 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
437 439 filenames.
438 440
439 441 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
440 442 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
441 443 out-of-process ipython code.
442 444
443 445 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
444 446 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
445 447 doctesting.
446 448
447 449 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
448 450
449 451 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
450 452
451 453 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
452 454 not being correctly recognized.
453 455
454 456 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
455 457
456 458 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
457 459 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
458 460 only item.
459 461
460 462 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
461 463 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
462 464 infinite recursion for one line strings).
463 465
464 466 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
465 467
466 468 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
467 469 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
468 470 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
469 471
470 472 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
471 473
472 474 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
473 475 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
474 476 "%env VISUAL=jed".
475 477
476 478 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
477 479
478 480 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
479 481 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
480 482 but I'm not exactly sure why).
481 483
482 484 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
483 485 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
484 486
485 487 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
486 488
487 489 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
488 490 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
489 491
490 492 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
491 493 the time during IPython startup is spent.
492 494
493 495 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
494 496
495 497 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
496 498
497 499 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
498 500
499 501 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
500 502
501 503 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
502 504
503 505 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
504 506 to work properly on posix too
505 507
506 508 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
507 509
508 510 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
509 511
510 512 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
511 513 prefix + "/scripts".
512 514
513 515 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
514 516
515 517 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
516 518
517 519 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
518 520 if they already exist
519 521
520 522 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
521 523
522 524 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
523 525
524 526 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
525 527
526 528 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
527 529
528 530 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
529 531 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
530 532 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
531 533
532 534 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
533 535
534 536 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
535 537 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
536 538 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
537 539
538 540 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
539 541 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
540 542 in ipy_user_conf.py
541 543
542 544
543 545 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
544 546 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
545 547 as IPython script.
546 548
547 549 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
548 550
549 551 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
550 552
551 553 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
552 554 is called before any exception has occurred.
553 555
554 556 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
555 557
556 558 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
557 559 to translate /'s to \'s again.
558 560
559 561 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
560 562 backslash.
561 563
562 564 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
563 565
564 566 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
565 567
566 568 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
567 569 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
568 570 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
569 571
570 572 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
571 573 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
572 574
573 575 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
574 576 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
575 577
576 578 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
577 579
578 580 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
579 581
580 582 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
581 583 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
582 584
583 585 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
584 586 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
585 587 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
586 588 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
587 589 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
588 590 mapped to "%" now.
589 591 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
590 592
591 593 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
592 594
593 595 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
594 596 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
595 597 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
596 598 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
597 599
598 600 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
599 601
600 602 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
601 603 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
602 604 for shell escapes.
603 605
604 606 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
605 607
606 608 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
607 609 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
608 610 vcs_completer.
609 611
610 612 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
611 613
612 614 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
613 615 directly instead!
614 616
615 617 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
616 618
617 619 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
618 620 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
619 621
620 622 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
621 623 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
622 624 explicit.
623 625
624 626 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
625 627 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
626 628
627 629 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
628 630
629 631 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
630 632
631 633 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
632 634 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
633 635 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
634 636 implementation for Text is useless.
635 637
636 638 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
637 639
638 640 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
639 641
640 642 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
641 643
642 644 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
643 645 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
644 646 "profile"
645 647
646 648 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
647 649
648 650 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
649 651 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
650 652
651 653 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
652 654 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
653 655
654 656
655 657 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
656 658 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
657 659 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
658 660
659 661 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
660 662
661 663 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
662 664 with one from UserConfig.
663 665
664 666 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
665 667 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
666 668
667 669 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
668 670 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
669 671 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
670 672
671 673 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
672 674
673 675 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
674 676
675 677 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
676 678
677 679 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
678 680
679 681 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
680 682
681 683 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
682 684
683 685 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
684 686
685 687 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
686 688
687 689 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
688 690 by eval of expr with dots.
689 691
690 692 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
691 693
692 694 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
693 695 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
694 696 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
695 697 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
696 698 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
697 699 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
698 700
699 701 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
700 702
701 703 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
702 704 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
703 705 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
704 706
705 707 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
706 708 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
707 709 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
708 710 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
709 711 funtionality in ipconfig.
710 712
711 713 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
712 714 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
713 715 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
714 716 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
715 717
716 718 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
717 719
718 720 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
719 721 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
720 722 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
721 723 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
722 724 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
723 725 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
724 726 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
725 727 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
726 728 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
727 729 descriptors.
728 730
729 731 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
730 732 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
731 733
732 734 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
733 735 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
734 736
735 737 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
736 738
737 739 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
738 740
739 741 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
740 742
741 743 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
742 744 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
743 745 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
744 746
745 747 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
746 748 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
747 749 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
748 750
749 751 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
750 752 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
751 753 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
752 754 ipy_stock_completers.
753 755
754 756 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
755 757
756 758 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
757 759
758 760 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
759 761 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
760 762 when filtering possible completions.
761 763
762 764 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
763 765
764 766 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
765 767 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
766 768 function
767 769
768 770
769 771 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
770 772
771 773 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
772 774 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
773 775 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
774 776 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
775 777 SVN completer.
776 778
777 779 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
778 780 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
779 781 name is %led.
780 782
781 783 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
782 784
783 785 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
784 786 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
785 787 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
786 788
787 789 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
788 790 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
789 791 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
790 792 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
791 793 hook name is 'complete_command'.
792 794
793 795 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
794 796
795 797 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
796 798 Numeric leftovers.
797 799
798 800 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
799 801 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
800 802
801 803 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
802 804 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
803 805
804 806 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
805 807 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
806 808
807 809 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
808 810 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
809 811 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
810 812
811 813 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
812 814
813 815 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
814 816 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
815 817 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
816 818
817 819 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
818 820 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
819 821
820 822 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
821 823
822 824 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
823 825 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
824 826 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
825 827
826 828 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
827 829
828 830 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
829 831 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
830 832 internal crash handler.
831 833
832 834 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
833 835 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
834 836 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
835 837 at the request of SAGE.
836 838
837 839 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
838 840
839 841 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
840 842 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
841 843
842 844 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
843 845 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
844 846 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
845 847 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
846 848
847 849 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
848 850 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
849 851 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
850 852
851 853 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
852 854
853 855 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
854 856 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
855 857 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
856 858
857 859 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
858 860 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
859 861
860 862 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
861 863
862 864 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
863 865 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
864 866 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
865 867 Stefan.
866 868
867 869 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
868 870
869 871 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
870 872 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
871 873 sys.stdout.close().
872 874
873 875 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
874 876
875 877 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
876 878 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
877 879 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
878 880 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
879 881
880 882 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
881 883 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
882 884 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
883 885
884 886 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
885 887 2.5.
886 888
887 889 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
888 890 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
889 891 interactively.
890 892
891 893 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
892 894
893 895 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
894 896 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
895 897
896 898 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
897 899
898 900 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
899 901 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
900 902 or only files.
901 903
902 904 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
903 905
904 906 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
905 907 they broke unittest
906 908
907 909 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
908 910
909 911 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
910 912 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
911 913 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
912 914 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
913 915
914 916 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
915 917
916 918 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
917 919 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
918 920 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
919 921 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
920 922 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
921 923
922 924 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
923 925
924 926 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
925 927 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
926 928
927 929 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
928 930
929 931 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
930 932 the mode argument).
931 933
932 934 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
933 935
934 936 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
935 937 not running under IPython.
936 938
937 939 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
938 940 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
939 941 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
940 942 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
941 943 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
942 944 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
943 945 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
944 946 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
945 947 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
946 948 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
947 949 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
948 950 are still supported.
949 951
950 952 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
951 953 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
952 954 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
953 955 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
954 956
955 957 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
956 958 encoding into methods.
957 959
958 960 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
959 961
960 962 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
961 963 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
962 964
963 965 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
964 966
965 967 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
966 968 non existing attributes.
967 969
968 970 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
969 971
970 972 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
971 973 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
972 974
973 975 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
974 976
975 977 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
976 978 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
977 979
978 980 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
979 981
980 982 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
981 983 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
982 984 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
983 985
984 986 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
985 987
986 988 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
987 989 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
988 990 Stefan van der Walt.
989 991
990 992 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
991 993
992 994 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
993 995 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
994 996
995 997 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
996 998
997 999 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
998 1000 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
999 1001 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1000 1002
1001 1003 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1002 1004
1003 1005 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1004 1006 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1005 1007 attributes.
1006 1008
1007 1009 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1008 1010
1009 1011 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1010 1012 commands into the methods implementing them.
1011 1013
1012 1014 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1013 1015
1014 1016 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1015 1017 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1016 1018 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1017 1019
1018 1020 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1019 1021
1020 1022 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1021 1023 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1022 1024
1023 1025 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1024 1026
1025 1027 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1026 1028 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1027 1029
1028 1030 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1029 1031
1030 1032 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1031 1033 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1032 1034 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1033 1035 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1034 1036 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1035 1037 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1036 1038 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1037 1039 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1038 1040 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1039 1041 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1040 1042 the x key to "delete".
1041 1043
1042 1044 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1043 1045
1044 1046 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1045 1047 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1046 1048 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1047 1049 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1048 1050
1049 1051 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1050 1052 prompt
1051 1053
1052 1054 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1053 1055
1054 1056 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1055 1057
1056 1058 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1057 1059 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1058 1060 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1059 1061 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1060 1062
1061 1063 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1062 1064
1063 1065 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1064 1066 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1065 1067 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1066 1068 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1067 1069 doesn't work properly yet.
1068 1070
1069 1071 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1070 1072
1071 1073 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1072 1074 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1073 1075 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1074 1076
1075 1077 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1076 1078
1077 1079 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1078 1080 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1079 1081 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1080 1082 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1081 1083 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1082 1084 execute commands.
1083 1085
1084 1086 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1085 1087
1086 1088 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1087 1089 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1088 1090
1089 1091 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1090 1092
1091 1093 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1092 1094 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1093 1095
1094 1096 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1095 1097
1096 1098 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1097 1099 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1098 1100 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1099 1101
1100 1102 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1101 1103
1102 1104 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1103 1105
1104 1106 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1105 1107 Repo tagged and release cut.
1106 1108
1107 1109 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1108 1110
1109 1111 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1110 1112 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1111 1113
1112 1114 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1113 1115 (for %upgrade)
1114 1116
1115 1117 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1116 1118
1117 1119 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1118 1120 instead of looping 20 times.
1119 1121
1120 1122 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1121 1123 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1122 1124 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1123 1125
1124 1126 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1125 1127 testing for release on 06/06.
1126 1128
1127 1129 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1128 1130
1129 1131 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1130 1132 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1131 1133 live in people's PATH.
1132 1134
1133 1135 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1134 1136 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1135 1137 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1136 1138 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1137 1139 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1138 1140
1139 1141 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1140 1142 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1141 1143
1142 1144 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1143 1145
1144 1146 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1145 1147 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1146 1148
1147 1149 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1148 1150
1149 1151 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1150 1152 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1151 1153 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1152 1154
1153 1155 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1154 1156
1155 1157 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1156 1158 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1157 1159 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1158 1160 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1159 1161
1160 1162 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1161 1163 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1162 1164 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1163 1165 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1164 1166
1165 1167 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1166 1168 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1167 1169 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1168 1170 work.
1169 1171
1170 1172 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1171 1173
1172 1174 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1173 1175 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1174 1176
1175 1177 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1176 1178 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1177 1179 author William Stein.
1178 1180
1179 1181 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1180 1182 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1181 1183 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1182 1184 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1183 1185 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1184 1186 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1185 1187 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1186 1188 objects more easily.
1187 1189
1188 1190 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1189 1191
1190 1192 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1191 1193 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1192 1194 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1193 1195 by Jeffrey Collins.
1194 1196
1195 1197 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1196 1198 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1197 1199 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1198 1200 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1199 1201
1200 1202 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1201 1203 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1202 1204 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1203 1205 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1204 1206
1205 1207 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1206 1208 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1207 1209 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1208 1210 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1209 1211 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1210 1212 compatibility)
1211 1213
1212 1214 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1213 1215 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1214 1216 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1215 1217
1216 1218 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1217 1219 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1218 1220 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1219 1221 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1220 1222 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1221 1223
1222 1224 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1223 1225 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1224 1226 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1225 1227
1226 1228 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1227 1229 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1228 1230 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1229 1231 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1230 1232 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1231 1233 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1232 1234 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1233 1235
1234 1236 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1235 1237 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1236 1238 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1237 1239
1238 1240 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1239 1241 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1240 1242 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1241 1243
1242 1244 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1243 1245 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1244 1246
1245 1247 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1246 1248
1247 1249 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1248 1250 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1249 1251 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1250 1252 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1251 1253 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1252 1254 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1253 1255 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1254 1256 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1255 1257 while running under SAGE.
1256 1258
1257 1259 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1258 1260
1259 1261 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1260 1262 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1261 1263 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1262 1264 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1263 1265
1264 1266 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1265 1267
1266 1268 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1267 1269 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1268 1270 updated.
1269 1271
1270 1272 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1271 1273 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1272 1274 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1273 1275 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1274 1276 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1275 1277
1276 1278 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1277 1279 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1278 1280 so more testing is needed...
1279 1281
1280 1282 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1281 1283
1282 1284 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1283 1285 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1284 1286 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1285 1287 when doing complex debugging.
1286 1288 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1287 1289 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1288 1290 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1289 1291 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1290 1292
1291 1293 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1292 1294
1293 1295 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1294 1296 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1295 1297 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1296 1298 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1297 1299
1298 1300 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1299 1301
1300 1302 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1301 1303 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1302 1304
1303 1305 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1304 1306
1305 1307 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1306 1308 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1307 1309 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1308 1310 been the one to acquire it.
1309 1311
1310 1312 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1311 1313
1312 1314 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1313 1315
1314 1316 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1315 1317
1316 1318 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1317 1319 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1318 1320 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1319 1321
1320 1322 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1321 1323 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1322 1324 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1323 1325 properly flush the output cache.
1324 1326
1325 1327 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1326 1328 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1327 1329
1328 1330 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1329 1331
1330 1332 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1331 1333 are quoted
1332 1334
1333 1335 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1334 1336
1335 1337 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1336 1338 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1337 1339
1338 1340 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1339 1341 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1340 1342
1341 1343 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1342 1344
1343 1345 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1344 1346 %upgrade magic
1345 1347
1346 1348 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1347 1349
1348 1350 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1349 1351 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1350 1352 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1351 1353
1352 1354 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1353 1355
1354 1356 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1355 1357 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1356 1358
1357 1359 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1358 1360 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1359 1361 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1360 1362 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1361 1363 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1362 1364
1363 1365 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1364 1366
1365 1367 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1366 1368 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1367 1369
1368 1370 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1369 1371
1370 1372 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1371 1373 Torsten Marek.
1372 1374
1373 1375 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1374 1376
1375 1377 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1376 1378 line ranges works again.
1377 1379
1378 1380 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1379 1381
1380 1382 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1381 1383 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1382 1384 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1383 1385 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1384 1386 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1385 1387
1386 1388 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1387 1389 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1388 1390 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1389 1391 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1390 1392 more.
1391 1393
1392 1394 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1393 1395
1394 1396 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1395 1397 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1396 1398
1397 1399 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1398 1400
1399 1401 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1400 1402 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1401 1403
1402 1404 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1403 1405
1404 1406 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1405 1407
1406 1408 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1407 1409
1408 1410 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1409 1411
1410 1412 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1411 1413 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1412 1414 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1413 1415
1414 1416 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1415 1417
1416 1418 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1417 1419 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1418 1420 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1419 1421 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1420 1422
1421 1423 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1422 1424 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1423 1425
1424 1426 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1425 1427 contributed by marienz to close
1426 1428 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1427 1429
1428 1430 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1429 1431
1430 1432 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1431 1433
1432 1434 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1433 1435 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1434 1436 nonsense.
1435 1437
1436 1438 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1437 1439
1438 1440 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1439 1441 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1440 1442
1441 1443 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1442 1444
1443 1445 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1444 1446
1445 1447 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1446 1448 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1447 1449
1448 1450 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1449 1451
1450 1452 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1451 1453 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1452 1454 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1453 1455 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1454 1456 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1455 1457 SAGE team.
1456 1458 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1457 1459 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1458 1460
1459 1461 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1460 1462 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1461 1463 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1462 1464 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1463 1465 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1464 1466
1465 1467 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1466 1468
1467 1469 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1468 1470 correctly now (on Linux)
1469 1471
1470 1472 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1471 1473 warnings
1472 1474
1473 1475 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1474 1476
1475 1477 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1476 1478
1477 1479
1478 1480 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1479 1481
1480 1482 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1481 1483 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1482 1484 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1483 1485 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1484 1486 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1485 1487 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1486 1488 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1487 1489 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1488 1490
1489 1491 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1490 1492
1491 1493 * aliases can now be %store'd
1492 1494
1493 1495 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1494 1496 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1495 1497 at __init__.
1496 1498
1497 1499 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1498 1500 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1499 1501
1500 1502 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1501 1503
1502 1504 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1503 1505 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1504 1506 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1505 1507
1506 1508 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1507 1509
1508 1510 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1509 1511
1510 1512 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1511 1513
1512 1514 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1513 1515 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1514 1516 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1515 1517 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1516 1518
1517 1519 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1518 1520 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1519 1521
1520 1522 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1521 1523
1522 1524 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1523 1525 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1524 1526 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1525 1527 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1526 1528
1527 1529 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1528 1530 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1529 1531 usage.
1530 1532
1531 1533 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1532 1534 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1533 1535 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1534 1536
1535 1537 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1536 1538
1537 1539 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1538 1540 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1539 1541
1540 1542 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1541 1543 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1542 1544 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1543 1545
1544 1546 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1545 1547
1546 1548 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1547 1549
1548 1550 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1549 1551
1550 1552 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1551 1553 are now more helpful:
1552 1554 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1553 1555
1554 1556 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1555 1557
1556 1558 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1557 1559 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1558 1560
1559 1561 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1560 1562
1561 1563 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1562 1564 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1563 1565
1564 1566 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1565 1567 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1566 1568 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1567 1569
1568 1570 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1569 1571
1570 1572
1571 1573 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1572 1574
1573 1575 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1574 1576 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1575 1577
1576 1578 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1577 1579
1578 1580 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1579 1581 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1580 1582 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1581 1583 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1582 1584 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1583 1585 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1584 1586
1585 1587 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1586 1588
1587 1589 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1588 1590 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1589 1591 \python24\scripts).
1590 1592
1591 1593 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1592 1594 egg.
1593 1595
1594 1596 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1595 1597
1596 1598 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1597 1599
1598 1600 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1599 1601
1600 1602 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1601 1603
1602 1604 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1603 1605
1604 1606 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1605 1607 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1606 1608 \python24\scripts).
1607 1609
1608 1610 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1609 1611 egg.
1610 1612
1611 1613 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1612 1614
1613 1615 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1614 1616 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1615 1617 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1616 1618
1617 1619 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1618 1620 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1619 1621 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1620 1622 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1621 1623
1622 1624 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1623 1625 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1624 1626 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1625 1627 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1626 1628 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1627 1629 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1628 1630 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1629 1631 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1630 1632 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1631 1633 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1632 1634 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1633 1635 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1634 1636
1635 1637 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1636 1638
1637 1639 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1638 1640 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1639 1641 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1640 1642 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1641 1643
1642 1644 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1643 1645
1644 1646 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1645 1647 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1646 1648 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1647 1649 importing extensions easy.
1648 1650
1649 1651 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1650 1652 classes / instances of those classes.
1651 1653
1652 1654 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1653 1655 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1654 1656 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1655 1657 the user.
1656 1658
1657 1659 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1658 1660 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1659 1661 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1660 1662
1661 1663 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1662 1664
1663 1665 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1664 1666 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1665 1667 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1666 1668 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1667 1669 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1668 1670 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1669 1671 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1670 1672 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1671 1673 the method.
1672 1674
1673 1675 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1674 1676
1675 1677 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1676 1678 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1677 1679
1678 1680 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1679 1681
1680 1682 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1681 1683 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1682 1684 Vivian.
1683 1685
1684 1686 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1685 1687 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1686 1688 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1687 1689 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1688 1690 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1689 1691
1690 1692 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1691 1693
1692 1694 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1693 1695 that returns file contents on exit.
1694 1696
1695 1697 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1696 1698 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1697 1699 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1698 1700 sc files=ls
1699 1701 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1700 1702 print p,p.mtime
1701 1703
1702 1704 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1703 1705 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1704 1706 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1705 1707 instead of syntax error.
1706 1708
1707 1709
1708 1710 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1709 1711
1710 1712 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1711 1713 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1712 1714 data.
1713 1715
1714 1716 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1715 1717 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1716 1718 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1717 1719 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1718 1720
1719 1721 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1720 1722 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1721 1723 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1722 1724 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1723 1725 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1724 1726 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1725 1727
1726 1728 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1727 1729
1728 1730 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1729 1731 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1730 1732 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1731 1733 current dir.
1732 1734
1733 1735 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1734 1736 had to create new files.
1735 1737
1736 1738 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1737 1739 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1738 1740 future.
1739 1741
1740 1742 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1741 1743 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1742 1744 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1743 1745
1744 1746
1745 1747 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1746 1748
1747 1749 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1748 1750 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1749 1751 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1750 1752 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1751 1753 later.
1752 1754
1753 1755 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1754 1756 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1755 1757
1756 1758 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1757 1759
1758 1760 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1759 1761 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1760 1762 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1761 1763 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1762 1764 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1763 1765 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1764 1766
1765 1767 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1766 1768
1767 1769 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1768 1770 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1769 1771 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1770 1772 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1771 1773 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1772 1774 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1773 1775 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1774 1776 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1775 1777 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1776 1778 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1777 1779
1778 1780 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1779 1781 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1780 1782 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1781 1783 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1782 1784
1783 1785 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1784 1786 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1785 1787 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1786 1788 "setup.py install" between changes).
1787 1789
1788 1790 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1789 1791 if 1:
1790 1792 !ls
1791 1793 !!ls
1792 1794
1793 1795 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1794 1796
1795 1797 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1796 1798 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1797 1799 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1798 1800 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1799 1801
1800 1802 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1801 1803 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1802 1804 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1803 1805
1804 1806 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1805 1807
1806 1808 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1807 1809 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1808 1810 win32.
1809 1811
1810 1812 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1811 1813
1812 1814 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1813 1815
1814 1816 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1815 1817 ready for release.
1816 1818
1817 1819 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1818 1820 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1819 1821 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1820 1822 where to copy the info from.
1821 1823
1822 1824 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1823 1825
1824 1826 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1825 1827 support in the release tools as well.
1826 1828
1827 1829 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1828 1830
1829 1831 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1830 1832 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1831 1833 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1832 1834 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1833 1835
1834 1836 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1835 1837 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1836 1838 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1837 1839
1838 1840 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1839 1841 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1840 1842
1841 1843 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1842 1844 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1843 1845 printer not to work.
1844 1846
1845 1847 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1846 1848
1847 1849 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1848 1850 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1849 1851
1850 1852 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1851 1853
1852 1854 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1853 1855 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1854 1856 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1855 1857
1856 1858 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1857 1859 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1858 1860 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1859 1861
1860 1862 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1861 1863 Ville's patch.
1862 1864
1863 1865 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1864 1866
1865 1867 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1866 1868 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1867 1869 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1868 1870 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1869 1871 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1870 1872 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1871 1873 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1872 1874
1873 1875 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1874 1876 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1875 1877 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1876 1878
1877 1879 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1878 1880
1879 1881 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1880 1882 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1881 1883
1882 1884 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1883 1885 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1884 1886 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1885 1887 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1886 1888 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1887 1889 twister).
1888 1890
1889 1891 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1890 1892 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1891 1893 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1892 1894
1893 1895 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1894 1896 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1895 1897 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1896 1898 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1897 1899 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1898 1900 something inside the dis module.
1899 1901
1900 1902 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1901 1903
1902 1904 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1903 1905 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1904 1906 follows the discussion in
1905 1907 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1906 1908
1907 1909 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1908 1910 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1909 1911 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1910 1912
1911 1913 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1912 1914 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1913 1915 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1914 1916
1915 1917 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1916 1918 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1917 1919 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1918 1920 speed up this routine.
1919 1921
1920 1922 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1921 1923 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1922 1924 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1923 1925 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1924 1926 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1925 1927 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1926 1928 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1927 1929 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1928 1930
1929 1931 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1930 1932 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1931 1933 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1932 1934
1933 1935 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1934 1936 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1935 1937 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1936 1938 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1937 1939 setters don't do anything).
1938 1940
1939 1941 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1940 1942
1941 1943 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1942 1944 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1943 1945 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1944 1946 falling out of sync...)
1945 1947
1946 1948 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1947 1949 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1948 1950 as loops).
1949 1951
1950 1952 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1951 1953 win32 system access.
1952 1954
1953 1955 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1954 1956
1955 1957 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1956 1958 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1957 1959 thread-safe.
1958 1960 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1959 1961 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1960 1962 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1961 1963 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1962 1964 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1963 1965 can still happen.
1964 1966 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1965 1967 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1966 1968 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1967 1969 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1968 1970 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1969 1971 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1970 1972 cleanly.
1971 1973
1972 1974 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1973 1975 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1974 1976 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1975 1977 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1976 1978 users' persisted data.
1977 1979
1978 1980 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1979 1981 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1980 1982 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1981 1983 multiline input (such as macros).
1982 1984
1983 1985 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1984 1986 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1985 1987 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1986 1988 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1987 1989 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1988 1990 informative).
1989 1991
1990 1992 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1991 1993 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1992 1994
1993 1995 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1994 1996 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1995 1997 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1996 1998
1997 1999 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1998 2000 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1999 2001 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2000 2002 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2001 2003 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2002 2004 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2003 2005 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2004 2006 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2005 2007 details.
2006 2008
2007 2009 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2008 2010 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2009 2011 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2010 2012 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2011 2013 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2012 2014
2013 2015 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2014 2016 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2015 2017 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2016 2018 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2017 2019 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2018 2020
2019 2021 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2020 2022 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2021 2023 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2022 2024 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2023 2025 options to %logstart. Closes
2024 2026 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2025 2027 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2026 2028
2027 2029 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2028 2030
2029 2031 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2030 2032 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2031 2033 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2032 2034 list:
2033 2035 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2034 2036
2035 2037 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2036 2038
2037 2039 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2038 2040 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2039 2041 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2040 2042 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2041 2043
2042 2044 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2043 2045 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2044 2046 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2045 2047 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2046 2048 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2047 2049
2048 2050 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2049 2051 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2050 2052 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2051 2053 true by default.
2052 2054
2053 2055 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2054 2056 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2055 2057 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2056 2058 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2057 2059
2058 2060 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2059 2061
2060 2062 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2061 2063 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2062 2064 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2063 2065 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2064 2066 version committed).
2065 2067
2066 2068 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2067 2069 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2068 2070 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2069 2071 discussion on the user list.
2070 2072
2071 2073 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2072 2074 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2073 2075 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2074 2076 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2075 2077
2076 2078 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2077 2079
2078 2080 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2079 2081 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2080 2082 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2081 2083
2082 2084 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2083 2085 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2084 2086 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2085 2087
2086 2088 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2087 2089 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2088 2090 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2089 2091 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2090 2092 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2091 2093 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2092 2094 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2093 2095 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2094 2096 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2095 2097 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2096 2098 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2097 2099 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2098 2100 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2099 2101 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2100 2102 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2101 2103 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2102 2104 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2103 2105 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2104 2106 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2105 2107 branch refactoring.
2106 2108
2107 2109 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2108 2110
2109 2111 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2110 2112 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2111 2113
2112 2114 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2113 2115 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2114 2116 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2115 2117 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2116 2118 worked correctly).
2117 2119
2118 2120 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2119 2121 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2120 2122 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2121 2123
2122 2124 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2123 2125
2124 2126 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2125 2127 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2126 2128 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2127 2129 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2128 2130 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2129 2131 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2130 2132 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2131 2133 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2132 2134
2133 2135 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2134 2136
2135 2137 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2136 2138 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2137 2139 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2138 2140 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2139 2141 on this.
2140 2142
2141 2143 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2142 2144
2143 2145 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2144 2146 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2145 2147 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2146 2148 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2147 2149 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2148 2150
2149 2151 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2150 2152
2151 2153 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2152 2154 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2153 2155 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2154 2156 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2155 2157
2156 2158 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2157 2159
2158 2160 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2159 2161 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2160 2162 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2161 2163
2162 2164 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2163 2165
2164 2166 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2165 2167 startup time.
2166 2168
2167 2169 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2168 2170 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2169 2171 it's working in all cases.
2170 2172
2171 2173 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2172 2174 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2173 2175 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2174 2176 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2175 2177 per-search basis.
2176 2178
2177 2179 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2178 2180
2179 2181 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2180 2182 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2181 2183 of a patch by Jorgen.
2182 2184
2183 2185 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2184 2186
2185 2187 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2186 2188 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2187 2189 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2188 2190
2189 2191 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2190 2192
2191 2193 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2192 2194 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2193 2195 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2194 2196 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2195 2197
2196 2198 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2197 2199
2198 2200 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2199 2201 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2200 2202 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2201 2203 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2202 2204 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2203 2205 implementing this functionality.
2204 2206
2205 2207 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2206 2208
2207 2209 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2208 2210 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2209 2211 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2210 2212 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2211 2213 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2212 2214 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2213 2215 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2214 2216
2215 2217 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2216 2218
2217 2219 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2218 2220 reported by Stephen Walton.
2219 2221
2220 2222 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2221 2223
2222 2224 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2223 2225
2224 2226 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2225 2227 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2226 2228
2227 2229 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2228 2230
2229 2231 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2230 2232 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2231 2233
2232 2234 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2233 2235 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2234 2236
2235 2237 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2236 2238
2237 2239 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2238 2240 finishing.
2239 2241
2240 2242 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2241 2243 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2242 2244
2243 2245 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2244 2246 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2245 2247 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2246 2248
2247 2249 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2248 2250 code, handy in general.
2249 2251
2250 2252 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2251 2253 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2252 2254 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2253 2255
2254 2256 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2255 2257
2256 2258 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2257 2259 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2258 2260 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2259 2261 testing, though.
2260 2262 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2261 2263 like this before...
2262 2264
2263 2265 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2264 2266 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2265 2267
2266 2268 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2267 2269 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2268 2270
2269 2271 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2270 2272
2271 2273 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2272 2274 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2273 2275 F. Mantegazza.
2274 2276
2275 2277 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2276 2278
2277 2279 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2278 2280 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2279 2281 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2280 2282
2281 2283 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2282 2284 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2283 2285 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2284 2286 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2285 2287 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2286 2288 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2287 2289
2288 2290 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2289 2291
2290 2292 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2291 2293 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2292 2294 beyond readline-based environments.
2293 2295
2294 2296 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2295 2297
2296 2298 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2297 2299
2298 2300 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2299 2301 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2300 2302 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2301 2303 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2302 2304 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2303 2305
2304 2306 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2305 2307
2306 2308 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2307 2309 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2308 2310 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2309 2311
2310 2312 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2311 2313
2312 2314 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2313 2315
2314 2316 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2315 2317
2316 2318 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2317 2319 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2318 2320 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2319 2321 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2320 2322 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2321 2323 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2322 2324
2323 2325 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2324 2326
2325 2327 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2326 2328
2327 2329 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2328 2330
2329 2331 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2330 2332 invalid $HOME under win32.
2331 2333
2332 2334 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2333 2335
2334 2336 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2335 2337 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2336 2338 simpler and a bit faster.
2337 2339
2338 2340 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2339 2341 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2340 2342 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2341 2343 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2342 2344 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2343 2345
2344 2346 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2345 2347 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2346 2348 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2347 2349
2348 2350 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2349 2351 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2350 2352
2351 2353 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2352 2354 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2353 2355 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2354 2356 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2355 2357 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2356 2358 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2357 2359 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2358 2360
2359 2361 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2360 2362
2361 2363 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2362 2364
2363 2365 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2364 2366
2365 2367 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2366 2368 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2367 2369
2368 2370 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2369 2371
2370 2372 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2371 2373 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2372 2374 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2373 2375 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2374 2376 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2375 2377 for the contribution.
2376 2378
2377 2379 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2378 2380 slightly modified version of the patch in
2379 2381 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2380 2382 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2381 2383 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2382 2384
2383 2385 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2384 2386
2385 2387 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2386 2388 I/O a bit more.
2387 2389
2388 2390 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2389 2391 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2390 2392
2391 2393 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2392 2394
2393 2395 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2394 2396
2395 2397 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2396 2398 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2397 2399 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2398 2400 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2399 2401
2400 2402 readline_remove_delims -/~
2401 2403
2402 2404
2403 2405 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
2404 2406
2405 2407 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2406 2408
2407 2409 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2408 2410 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2409 2411 <eli@gondolin.net>
2410 2412
2411 2413 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2412 2414
2413 2415 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2414 2416 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2415 2417
2416 2418 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2417 2419
2418 2420 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2419 2421 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2420 2422 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2421 2423
2422 2424 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2423 2425
2424 2426 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2425 2427 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2426 2428
2427 2429 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2428 2430
2429 2431 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2430 2432 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2431 2433
2432 2434 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2433 2435 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2434 2436 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2435 2437 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2436 2438 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2437 2439 for more details.
2438 2440
2439 2441 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2440 2442 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2441 2443 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2442 2444 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2443 2445
2444 2446 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2445 2447
2446 2448 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2447 2449 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2448 2450 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2449 2451 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2450 2452 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2451 2453
2452 2454 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2453 2455 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2454 2456 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2455 2457
2456 2458 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2457 2459
2458 2460 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2459 2461
2460 2462 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2461 2463
2462 2464 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2463 2465 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2464 2466 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2465 2467 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2466 2468 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2467 2469
2468 2470 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2469 2471
2470 2472 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2471 2473
2472 2474 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2473 2475 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2474 2476 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2475 2477 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2476 2478 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2477 2479
2478 2480 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2479 2481 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2480 2482 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2481 2483 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2482 2484 take the text parameter.
2483 2485
2484 2486 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2485 2487 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2486 2488 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2487 2489 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2488 2490 pysh profile to include the line
2489 2491
2490 2492 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2491 2493
2492 2494 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2493 2495 delete pysh.py and the line
2494 2496
2495 2497 execfile pysh.py
2496 2498
2497 2499 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2498 2500
2499 2501 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2500 2502 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2501 2503 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2502 2504 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2503 2505 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2504 2506
2505 2507 * pysh.py:
2506 2508
2507 2509 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2508 2510
2509 2511 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2510 2512 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2511 2513 want it can still turn it off.
2512 2514
2513 2515 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2514 2516 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2515 2517 off by default.
2516 2518
2517 2519 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2518 2520 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2519 2521 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2520 2522 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2521 2523 calls.
2522 2524
2523 2525 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2524 2526
2525 2527 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2526 2528 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2527 2529 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2528 2530
2529 2531 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2530 2532
2531 2533 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2532 2534 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2533 2535 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2534 2536 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2535 2537
2536 2538 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2537 2539 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2538 2540 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2539 2541 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2540 2542
2541 2543 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2542 2544
2543 2545 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2544 2546 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2545 2547
2546 2548 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2547 2549 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2548 2550 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2549 2551 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2550 2552 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2551 2553 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2552 2554 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2553 2555 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2554 2556
2555 2557 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2556 2558
2557 2559 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2558 2560 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2559 2561 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2560 2562 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2561 2563 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2562 2564 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2563 2565 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2564 2566 add new completers at runtime.
2565 2567
2566 2568 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2567 2569
2568 2570 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2569 2571 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2570 2572 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2571 2573 ? system.
2572 2574
2573 2575 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2574 2576 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2575 2577 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2576 2578 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2577 2579 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2578 2580 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2579 2581 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2580 2582 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2581 2583
2582 2584 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2583 2585
2584 2586 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2585 2587 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2586 2588 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2587 2589 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2588 2590 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2589 2591
2590 2592 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2591 2593 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2592 2594 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2593 2595 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2594 2596 add:
2595 2597
2596 2598 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2597 2599 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward

2599 2601 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2600 2602
2601 2603 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2602 2604 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2603 2605 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2604 2606 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2605 2607
2606 2608 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2607 2609 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2608 2610 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2609 2611 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2610 2612 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2611 2613 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2612 2614 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2613 2615 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2614 2616 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2615 2617
2616 2618 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2617 2619
2618 2620 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2619 2621 prompt namespace handling.
2620 2622
2621 2623 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2622 2624
2623 2625 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2624 2626 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2625 2627 trips the emacs python mode).
2626 2628 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2627 2629 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2628 2630 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2629 2631 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2630 2632 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2631 2633 calls will be made at runtime.
2632 2634
2633 2635 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2634 2636
2635 2637 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2636 2638 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2637 2639 the call to %history.
2638 2640
2639 2641 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2640 2642
2641 2643 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2642 2644
2643 2645 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2644 2646 ipmagic() function calls.
2645 2647
2646 2648 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2647 2649 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2648 2650
2649 2651 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2650 2652
2651 2653 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2652 2654 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2653 2655 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2654 2656 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2655 2657 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2656 2658 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2657 2659 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2658 2660 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2659 2661
2660 2662 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2661 2663
2662 2664 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2663 2665 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2664 2666 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2665 2667 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2666 2668 Ville Vainio.
2667 2669
2668 2670 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2669 2671
2670 2672 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2671 2673 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2672 2674 define the ones they personally like.
2673 2675
2674 2676 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2675 2677
2676 2678 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2677 2679 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2678 2680
2679 2681 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2680 2682
2681 2683 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2682 2684 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2683 2685
2684 2686 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2685 2687 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2686 2688 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2687 2689 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2688 2690 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2689 2691 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2690 2692 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2691 2693 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2692 2694
2693 2695 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2694 2696 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2695 2697 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2696 2698 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2697 2699 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
2698 2700
2699 2701 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2700 2702
2701 2703 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2702 2704 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2703 2705 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2704 2706
2705 2707 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2706 2708 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2707 2709 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2708 2710
2709 2711 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2710 2712
2711 2713 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2712 2714
2713 2715 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2714 2716 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2715 2717 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2716 2718 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2717 2719 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2718 2720 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2719 2721 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2720 2722 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2721 2723 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2722 2724 system is a separate implementation).
2723 2725
2724 2726 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2725 2727 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2726 2728 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2727 2729 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2728 2730 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2729 2731 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2730 2732 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2731 2733 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2732 2734 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2733 2735 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2734 2736 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2735 2737
2736 2738 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2737 2739
2738 2740 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2739 2741 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2740 2742 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2741 2743 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2742 2744 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2743 2745 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2744 2746 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2745 2747 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
2746 2748
2747 2749 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2748 2750
2749 2751 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2750 2752 previous call produced a syntax error.
2751 2753
2752 2754 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2753 2755 classes without constructor.
2754 2756
2755 2757 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2756 2758
2757 2759 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2758 2760 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2759 2761 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2760 2762 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2761 2763 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2762 2764 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2763 2765 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2764 2766
2765 2767 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2766 2768
2767 2769 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2768 2770 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2769 2771
2770 2772 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2771 2773
2772 2774 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2773 2775 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2774 2776 optimizations.
2775 2777
2776 2778 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2777 2779 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2778 2780
2779 2781 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2780 2782
2781 2783 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2782 2784 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2783 2785 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2784 2786 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2785 2787 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2786 2788 avoid annoying the lists further.
2787 2789
2788 2790 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
2789 2791
2790 2792 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2791 2793
2792 2794 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2793 2795 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2794 2796 norm definitions.
2795 2797 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2796 2798 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2797 2799 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2798 2800
2799 2801 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2800 2802 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2801 2803 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2802 2804 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2803 2805 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2804 2806
2805 2807 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2806 2808 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2807 2809 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2808 2810 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2809 2811
2810 2812 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2811 2813 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2812 2814 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2813 2815 fixes.
2814 2816
2815 2817 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2816 2818 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2817 2819 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2818 2820 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2819 2821 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2820 2822 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2821 2823 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2822 2824
2823 2825 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
2824 2826
2825 2827 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2826 2828
2827 2829 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2828 2830 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2829 2831 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2830 2832 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2831 2833 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2832 2834 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2833 2835 Panel.
2834 2836
2835 2837 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2836 2838 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2837 2839 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2838 2840 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2839 2841 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2840 2842
2841 2843 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2842 2844
2843 2845 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2844 2846 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2845 2847
2846 2848 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2847 2849
2848 2850 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2849 2851
2850 2852 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2851 2853 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2852 2854 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2853 2855 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2854 2856 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2855 2857 python shell.
2856 2858
2857 2859 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2858 2860 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2859 2861 on assignments. This closes
2860 2862 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2861 2863 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2862 2864 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2863 2865
2864 2866 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2865 2867
2866 2868 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2867 2869 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2868 2870
2869 2871 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2870 2872
2871 2873 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2872 2874
2873 2875 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2874 2876 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2875 2877
2876 2878 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2877 2879
2878 2880 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2879 2881 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2880 2882 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2881 2883
2882 2884 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2883 2885
2884 2886 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2885 2887 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2886 2888 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2887 2889
2888 2890 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2889 2891
2890 2892 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2891 2893 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2892 2894 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2893 2895
2894 2896 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2895 2897 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2896 2898 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2897 2899
2898 2900 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2899 2901
2900 2902 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2901 2903 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2902 2904
2903 2905 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2904 2906
2905 2907 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2906 2908 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2907 2909 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2908 2910
2909 2911 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2910 2912
2911 2913 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2912 2914 reported by Prabhu.
2913 2915 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2914 2916 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2915 2917 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2916 2918
2917 2919 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2918 2920 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2919 2921
2920 2922 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2921 2923 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2922 2924 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2923 2925 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2924 2926 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2925 2927 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2926 2928
2927 2929 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6

2929 2931 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2930 2932
2931 2933 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2932 2934 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2933 2935 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2934 2936 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2935 2937
2936 2938 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2937 2939 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2938 2940
2939 2941 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2940 2942 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2941 2943 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2942 2944 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2943 2945 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2944 2946 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2945 2947 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2946 2948
2947 2949 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2948 2950 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2949 2951 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2950 2952
2951 2953 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2952 2954 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2953 2955 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2954 2956 before.
2955 2957
2956 2958 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2957 2959
2958 2960 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2959 2961 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2960 2962 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2961 2963 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2962 2964
2963 2965 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2964 2966 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2965 2967 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2966 2968 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2967 2969 timing very short-running code.
2968 2970
2969 2971 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2970 2972 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2971 2973 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2972 2974 utility.
2973 2975
2974 2976 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2975 2977 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2976 2978 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2977 2979 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2978 2980 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2979 2981 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2980 2982 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2981 2983 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2982 2984
2983 2985 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2984 2986 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2985 2987 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2986 2988
2987 2989 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2988 2990 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2989 2991 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2990 2992 is for).
2991 2993
2992 2994 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2993 2995 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2994 2996 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2995 2997 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2996 2998 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2997 2999
2998 3000 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2999 3001
3000 3002 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3001 3003 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3002 3004 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3003 3005 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3004 3006 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3005 3007
3006 3008 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3007 3009 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3008 3010 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3009 3011 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3010 3012 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3011 3013 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3012 3014
3013 3015 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3014 3016
3015 3017 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3016 3018 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3017 3019
3018 3020 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3019 3021
3020 3022 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3021 3023 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3022 3024 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3023 3025 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3024 3026
3025 3027 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3026 3028
3027 3029 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3028 3030
3029 3031 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3030 3032 setting with -d option.
3031 3033
3032 3034 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3033 3035 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3034 3036 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3035 3037 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3036 3038
3037 3039 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3038 3040
3039 3041 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3040 3042 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3041 3043
3042 3044 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3043 3045 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3044 3046 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3045 3047 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3046 3048 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3047 3049 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3048 3050 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3049 3051 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3050 3052 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3051 3053 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3052 3054 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3053 3055
3054 3056 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3055 3057
3056 3058 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3057 3059 cache when empty lines were present.
3058 3060
3059 3061 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3060 3062
3061 3063 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3062 3064 options for WX and GTK.
3063 3065
3064 3066 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3065 3067
3066 3068 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3067 3069 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3068 3070 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3069 3071 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3070 3072 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3071 3073 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3072 3074 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3073 3075
3074 3076 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3075 3077 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3076 3078
3077 3079 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3078 3080
3079 3081 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3080 3082 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3081 3083 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3082 3084 many thanks.
3083 3085
3084 3086 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3085 3087 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3086 3088 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3087 3089
3088 3090 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3089 3091
3090 3092 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3091 3093 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3092 3094 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3093 3095
3094 3096 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3095 3097
3096 3098 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3097 3099
3098 3100 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3099 3101 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3100 3102 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3101 3103
3102 3104 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3103 3105
3104 3106 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3105 3107 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3106 3108
3107 3109 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3108 3110
3109 3111 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3110 3112 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3111 3113 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3112 3114 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3113 3115 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3114 3116 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3115 3117 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3116 3118
3117 3119 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3118 3120
3119 3121 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3120 3122 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3121 3123 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3122 3124 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3123 3125
3124 3126 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3125 3127 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3126 3128
3127 3129 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3128 3130
3129 3131 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3130 3132 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3131 3133
3132 3134 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3133 3135 use throughout ipython.
3134 3136
3135 3137 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3136 3138 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3137 3139
3138 3140 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3139 3141 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3140 3142 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3141 3143 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3142 3144
3143 3145 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3144 3146
3145 3147 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3146 3148 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3147 3149 report by Francesc Alted.
3148 3150
3149 3151 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3150 3152
3151 3153 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3152 3154 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3153 3155
3154 3156 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3155 3157
3156 3158 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3157 3159 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3158 3160 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3159 3161 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3160 3162 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3161 3163 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3162 3164 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3163 3165 correctly set.
3164 3166
3165 3167 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3166 3168
3167 3169 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3168 3170 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3169 3171 import requirement of PEP-328.
3170 3172
3171 3173 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3172 3174 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3173 3175 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3174 3176 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3175 3177
3176 3178 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3177 3179
3178 3180 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3179 3181
3180 3182 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3181 3183 via a normal python function call.
3182 3184
3183 3185 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3184 3186 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3185 3187 2.4.
3186 3188
3187 3189 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3188 3190
3189 3191 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3190 3192 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3191 3193 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3192 3194 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3193 3195 is given to the user).
3194 3196
3195 3197 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3196 3198
3197 3199 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3198 3200 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3199 3201 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3200 3202 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3201 3203
3202 3204 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3203 3205 python 2.2.
3204 3206
3205 3207 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3206 3208 banner arg for embedded customization.
3207 3209
3208 3210 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3209 3211 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3210 3212 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3211 3213 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3212 3214 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3213 3215 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3214 3216
3215 3217 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3216 3218 minor changes to debian dir.
3217 3219
3218 3220 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3219 3221 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3220 3222 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3221 3223 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3222 3224
3223 3225 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3224 3226
3225 3227 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3226 3228 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3227 3229 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3228 3230 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3229 3231 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3230 3232
3231 3233 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3232 3234
3233 3235 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3234 3236 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3235 3237
3236 3238 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3237 3239
3238 3240 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3239 3241 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3240 3242
3241 3243 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3242 3244
3243 3245 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3244 3246
3245 3247 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3246 3248 updated.
3247 3249
3248 3250 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3249 3251
3250 3252 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3251 3253 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3252 3254 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3253 3255 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3254 3256 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3255 3257
3256 3258 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3257 3259 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3258 3260 split regexp. Closes
3259 3261 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3260 3262 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3261 3263 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3262 3264 extensions.
3263 3265
3264 3266 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3265 3267 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3266 3268 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3267 3269 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3268 3270 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3269 3271
3270 3272 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3271 3273 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3272 3274 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3273 3275 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3274 3276
3275 3277 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3276 3278 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3277 3279
3278 3280 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3279 3281 fine-tune banner.
3280 3282
3281 3283 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3282 3284 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3283 3285
3284 3286 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3285 3287
3286 3288 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3287 3289 were missing.
3288 3290
3289 3291 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3290 3292 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3291 3293 valid at the command line.
3292 3294
3293 3295 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3294 3296 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3295 3297

3298 3300 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3299 3301 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3300 3302 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3301 3303
3302 3304 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3303 3305
3304 3306 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3305 3307 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3306 3308 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3307 3309 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3308 3310 continue to use the standard profiler.
3309 3311
3310 3312 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3311 3313
3312 3314 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3313 3315 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3314 3316 close.
3315 3317
3316 3318 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3317 3319
3318 3320 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3319 3321 in Magic and ultraTB.
3320 3322
3321 3323 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3322 3324
3323 3325 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3324 3326 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3325 3327 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3326 3328 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3327 3329
3328 3330 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3329 3331 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3330 3332 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3331 3333 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3332 3334 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3333 3335 infrastructure in place.
3334 3336
3335 3337 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3336 3338
3337 3339 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3338 3340
3339 3341 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3340 3342 the pylab profile.
3341 3343
3342 3344 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3343 3345
3344 3346 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3345 3347
3346 3348 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3347 3349 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3348 3350 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3349 3351 itself.
3350 3352
3351 3353 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3352 3354 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3353 3355 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3354 3356 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3355 3357 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3356 3358 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3357 3359 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3358 3360 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3359 3361
3360 3362 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3361 3363 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3362 3364
3363 3365 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3364 3366
3365 3367 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3366 3368 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3367 3369 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3368 3370
3369 3371 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3370 3372
3371 3373 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3372 3374 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3373 3375
3374 3376 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3375 3377
3376 3378 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3377 3379
3378 3380 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3379 3381
3380 3382 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3381 3383
3382 3384 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3383 3385 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3384 3386 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3385 3387
3386 3388 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3387 3389
3388 3390 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3389 3391 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3390 3392 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3391 3393 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3392 3394 works.
3393 3395
3394 3396 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3395 3397 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3396 3398 practice.
3397 3399
3398 3400 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3399 3401
3400 3402 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3401 3403 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3402 3404 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3403 3405
3404 3406 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3405 3407
3406 3408 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3407 3409 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3408 3410 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3409 3411 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3410 3412
3411 3413 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3412 3414
3413 3415 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3414 3416 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3415 3417 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3416 3418 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3417 3419
3418 3420 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3419 3421
3420 3422 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3421 3423
3422 3424 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3423 3425 fail for any number.
3424 3426 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3425 3427 empty bookmarks.
3426 3428
3427 3429 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3428 3430
3429 3431 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3430 3432
3431 3433 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3432 3434
3433 3435 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3434 3436 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3435 3437
3436 3438 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3437 3439 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3438 3440
3439 3441 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3440 3442
3441 3443 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3442 3444 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3443 3445 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3444 3446 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3445 3447 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3446 3448
3447 3449 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3448 3450
3449 3451 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3450 3452 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3451 3453
3452 3454 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3453 3455
3454 3456 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3455 3457 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3456 3458 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3457 3459 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3458 3460
3459 3461 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3460 3462 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3461 3463 Schmolck.
3462 3464
3463 3465 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3464 3466
3465 3467 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3466 3468
3467 3469 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3468 3470 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3469 3471
3470 3472 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3471 3473 optimizations.
3472 3474
3473 3475 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3474 3476 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3475 3477
3476 3478 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3477 3479 --Started changelog.
3478 3480 --make clear do what it say it does
3479 3481 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3480 3482 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3481 3483 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3482 3484 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3483 3485 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3484 3486 can be done for other cases.
3485 3487 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3486 3488 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3487 3489 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3488 3490
3489 3491 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3490 3492 --added logfile rotation
3491 3493 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3492 3494
3493 3495 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3494 3496 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3495 3497 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3496 3498 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3497 3499 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3498 3500 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3499 3501 --added global logfile option
3500 3502 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3501 3503 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3502 3504
3503 3505 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3504 3506 --added a README
3505 3507 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3506 3508 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3507 3509 bug or feature.
3508 3510 --changed rc file for new behavior
3509 3511
3510 3512 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3511 3513
3512 3514 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3513 3515 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3514 3516 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3515 3517
3516 3518 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3517 3519 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3518 3520
3519 3521 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3520 3522
3521 3523 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3522 3524 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3523 3525 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3524 3526 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3525 3527 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3526 3528 and prepended with a #.
3527 3529
3528 3530 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3529 3531 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3530 3532
3531 3533 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3532 3534
3533 3535 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3534 3536 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3535 3537
3536 3538 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3537 3539
3538 3540 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3539 3541 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3540 3542
3541 3543 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3542 3544
3543 3545 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3544 3546 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3545 3547 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3546 3548
3547 3549 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3548 3550
3549 3551 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3550 3552 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3551 3553
3552 3554 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3553 3555 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3554 3556 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3555 3557 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3556 3558 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3557 3559 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3558 3560 be implemented later).
3559 3561
3560 3562 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3561 3563 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3562 3564 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3563 3565 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3564 3566
3565 3567 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3566 3568 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3567 3569 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3568 3570
3569 3571 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3570 3572 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3571 3573
3572 3574 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3573 3575 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3574 3576 readline make it impossible to go further.
3575 3577
3576 3578 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3577 3579
3578 3580 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3579 3581 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3580 3582
3581 3583 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3582 3584
3583 3585 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3584 3586 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3585 3587 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3586 3588 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3587 3589
3588 3590 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3589 3591 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3590 3592 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3591 3593 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3592 3594
3593 3595 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3594 3596 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3595 3597 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3596 3598 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3597 3599 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3598 3600 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3599 3601 problem.
3600 3602
3601 3603 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3602 3604 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3603 3605
3604 3606 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3605 3607 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3606 3608 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3607 3609
3608 3610 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3609 3611
3610 3612 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3611 3613 continue prompts.
3612 3614
3613 3615 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3614 3616 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3615 3617 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3616 3618 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3617 3619 byte-compilation saves time.
3618 3620
3619 3621 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3620 3622
3621 3623 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3622 3624 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3623 3625
3624 3626 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3625 3627 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3626 3628
3627 3629 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3628 3630 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3629 3631 common cases where it's a problem.
3630 3632
3631 3633 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3632 3634
3633 3635 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3634 3636 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3635 3637 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3636 3638 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3637 3639 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3638 3640 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3639 3641
3640 3642 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3641 3643
3642 3644 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3643 3645 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3644 3646
3645 3647 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3646 3648 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3647 3649 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3648 3650 structure as win_exec_ext.
3649 3651
3650 3652 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3651 3653 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3652 3654
3653 3655 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3654 3656 delete aliases.
3655 3657
3656 3658 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3657 3659 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3658 3660
3659 3661 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3660 3662
3661 3663 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3662 3664 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3663 3665
3664 3666 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3665 3667
3666 3668 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3667 3669 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3668 3670
3669 3671 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3670 3672 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3671 3673
3672 3674 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3673 3675 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3674 3676 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3675 3677 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3676 3678 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3677 3679 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3678 3680
3679 3681 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3680 3682 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3681 3683 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3682 3684
3683 3685 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3684 3686 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3685 3687 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3686 3688
3687 3689 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3688 3690 via an extra $. For example:
3689 3691
3690 3692 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3691 3693
3692 3694 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3693 3695 a python variable
3694 3696
3695 3697 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3696 3698 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3697 3699
3698 3700 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3699 3701 things prematurely.
3700 3702
3701 3703 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3702 3704 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3703 3705
3704 3706 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3705 3707 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3706 3708 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3707 3709 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3708 3710 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3709 3711 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3710 3712 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3711 3713 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3712 3714
3713 3715 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3714 3716 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3715 3717 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3716 3718 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3717 3719 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3718 3720 with the old system).
3719 3721
3720 3722 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3721 3723
3722 3724 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3723 3725 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3724 3726
3725 3727 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3726 3728 call to eval.
3727 3729 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3728 3730 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3729 3731 in.
3730 3732
3731 3733 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3732 3734
3733 3735 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3734 3736 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3735 3737 confusion).
3736 3738
3737 3739 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3738 3740 check for Windows users.
3739 3741
3740 3742 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3741 3743 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3742 3744 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3743 3745 download it.
3744 3746
3745 3747 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3746 3748
3747 3749 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3748 3750 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3749 3751 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3750 3752 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3751 3753 of IDLE's out).
3752 3754
3753 3755 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3754 3756 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3755 3757 eventually.
3756 3758 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3757 3759
3758 3760 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3759 3761
3760 3762 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3761 3763 list of auto-defined aliases.
3762 3764
3763 3765 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3764 3766
3765 3767 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3766 3768 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3767 3769 things under Windows).
3768 3770
3769 3771 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3770 3772
3771 3773 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3772 3774 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3773 3775 reported by Thorsten.
3774 3776
3775 3777 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3776 3778
3777 3779 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3778 3780 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3779 3781 for all examples and the manual as well.
3780 3782
3781 3783 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3782 3784
3783 3785 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3784 3786 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3785 3787 inherit from BasePrompt.
3786 3788
3787 3789 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3788 3790 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3789 3791
3790 3792 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3791 3793 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3792 3794 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3793 3795 defaults.
3794 3796 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3795 3797 this fix manually!
3796 3798
3797 3799 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3798 3800 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3799 3801 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3800 3802 distutils).
3801 3803
3802 3804 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3803 3805 usage of new '\D' escape.
3804 3806
3805 3807 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3806 3808 lacks os.getuid())
3807 3809 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3808 3810 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3809 3811 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3810 3812 handling mechanism.
3811 3813 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3812 3814 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3813 3815 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3814 3816 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3815 3817 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3816 3818 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3817 3819 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3818 3820
3819 3821 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3820 3822
3821 3823 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3822 3824 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3823 3825 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3824 3826
3825 3827 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3826 3828 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3827 3829 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3828 3830 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3829 3831 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3830 3832 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3831 3833 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3832 3834 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3833 3835
3834 3836 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3835 3837 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3836 3838 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3837 3839 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3838 3840 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3839 3841 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3840 3842 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3841 3843 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3842 3844
3843 3845 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3844 3846 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3845 3847 functions uniform.
3846 3848 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3847 3849
3848 3850 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3849 3851 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3850 3852 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3851 3853 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3852 3854 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3853 3855 use to parse their options.
3854 3856
3855 3857 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3856 3858 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3857 3859 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3858 3860
3859 3861 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3860 3862 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3861 3863 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3862 3864 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3863 3865 via the prompt_specials.
3864 3866
3865 3867 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3866 3868
3867 3869 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3868 3870 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3869 3871 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3870 3872 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3871 3873 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3872 3874 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3873 3875 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3874 3876 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3875 3877
3876 3878 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3877 3879
3878 3880 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3879 3881 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3880 3882 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3881 3883
3882 3884 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3883 3885
3884 3886 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3885 3887 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3886 3888
3887 3889 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3888 3890
3889 3891 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3890 3892 parens would get passed to the shell.
3891 3893
3892 3894 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3893 3895
3894 3896 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3895 3897 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3896 3898
3897 3899 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3898 3900 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3899 3901 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3900 3902 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3901 3903 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3902 3904
3903 3905 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3904 3906 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3905 3907 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3906 3908 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3907 3909
3908 3910 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3909 3911
3910 3912 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3911 3913
3912 3914 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3913 3915 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3914 3916 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3915 3917
3916 3918 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3917 3919 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3918 3920 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3919 3921 official documentation.
3920 3922
3921 3923 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3922 3924
3923 3925 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3924 3926 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3925 3927 explicit filename.
3926 3928
3927 3929 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3928 3930
3929 3931 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3930 3932 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3931 3933 case.
3932 3934
3933 3935 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3934 3936 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3935 3937 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3936 3938
3937 3939 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3938 3940
3939 3941 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3940 3942
3941 3943 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3942 3944 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3943 3945 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3944 3946 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3945 3947 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3946 3948 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3947 3949 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3948 3950 any changes to python proper.
3949 3951
3950 3952 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3951 3953 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3952 3954 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3953 3955 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3954 3956 Schmolck.
3955 3957
3956 3958 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3957 3959
3958 3960 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3959 3961 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3960 3962 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3961 3963 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3962 3964
3963 3965 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3964 3966
3965 3967 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3966 3968 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3967 3969 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3968 3970 name).
3969 3971
3970 3972 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3971 3973 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3972 3974 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3973 3975 Francois Pinard.
3974 3976
3975 3977 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3976 3978
3977 3979 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3978 3980 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3979 3981 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3980 3982 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3981 3983 not work.
3982 3984
3983 3985 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3984 3986
3985 3987 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3986 3988 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3987 3989 distinguishes stdout/err.
3988 3990
3989 3991 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3990 3992 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3991 3993 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3992 3994 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3993 3995 the standard library.
3994 3996
3995 3997 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3996 3998 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3997 3999
3998 4000 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3999 4001 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4000 4002
4001 4003 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4002 4004
4003 4005 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4004 4006 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4005 4007 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4006 4008 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4007 4009 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4008 4010 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...

4012 4014 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4013 4015 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4014 4016 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4015 4017 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4016 4018
4017 4019 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4018 4020
4019 4021 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4020 4022 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4021 4023 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4022 4024 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4023 4025
4024 4026 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4025 4027
4026 4028 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4027 4029 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4028 4030 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4029 4031 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4030 4032 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4031 4033 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4032 4034 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4033 4035 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4034 4036
4035 4037 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4036 4038
4037 4039 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4038 4040 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4039 4041
4040 4042 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4041 4043
4042 4044 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4043 4045 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4044 4046 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4045 4047 very short.
4046 4048
4047 4049 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4048 4050
4049 4051 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4050 4052 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4051 4053 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4052 4054 this before making it permanent.
4053 4055
4054 4056 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4055 4057 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4056 4058 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4057 4059 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4058 4060
4059 4061 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4060 4062
4061 4063 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4062 4064 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4063 4065
4064 4066 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4065 4067
4066 4068 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4067 4069 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4068 4070 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4069 4071 cases I've missed.
4070 4072
4071 4073 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4072 4074
4073 4075 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4074 4076 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4075 4077 system would be triggered for @p.
4076 4078
4077 4079 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4078 4080 cleanups, code unmodified.
4079 4081
4080 4082 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4081 4083 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4082 4084 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4083 4085 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4084 4086 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4085 4087 The actual changes affect many files.
4086 4088
4087 4089 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4088 4090
4089 4091 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4090 4092 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4091 4093 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4092 4094
4093 4095 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4094 4096
4095 4097 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4096 4098 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4097 4099
4098 4100 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4099 4101
4100 4102 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4101 4103 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4102 4104 numpy list.
4103 4105
4104 4106 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4105 4107
4106 4108 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4107 4109 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4108 4110 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4109 4111 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4110 4112
4111 4113 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4112 4114
4113 4115 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4114 4116 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4115 4117 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4116 4118 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4117 4119
4118 4120 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4119 4121 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4120 4122
4121 4123 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4122 4124
4123 4125 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4124 4126 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4125 4127 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4126 4128 Collins.
4127 4129
4128 4130 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4129 4131
4130 4132 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4131 4133
4132 4134 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4133 4135 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4134 4136 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4135 4137
4136 4138 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4137 4139
4138 4140 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4139 4141 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4140 4142 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4141 4143 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4142 4144
4143 4145 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4144 4146 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4145 4147 __getitem__ and __call__.
4146 4148
4147 4149 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4148 4150
4149 4151 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4150 4152
4151 4153 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4152 4154 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4153 4155 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4154 4156 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4155 4157
4156 4158 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4157 4159 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4158 4160 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4159 4161 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4160 4162 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4161 4163 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4162 4164 necessary.
4163 4165
4164 4166 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4165 4167 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4166 4168 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4167 4169
4168 4170 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4169 4171 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4170 4172 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4171 4173 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4172 4174
4173 4175 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4174 4176 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4175 4177 generators.
4176 4178
4177 4179 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4178 4180 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4179 4181 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4180 4182 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4181 4183 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4182 4184 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4183 4185 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4184 4186
4185 4187 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4186 4188 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4187 4189 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4188 4190 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4189 4191 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4190 4192
4191 4193 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4192 4194 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4193 4195 edit under some circumstances.
4194 4196 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4195 4197 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4196 4198 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4197 4199 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4198 4200 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4199 4201 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4200 4202 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4201 4203 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4202 4204 need more testing.
4203 4205
4204 4206 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4205 4207
4206 4208 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4207 4209 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4208 4210 and simpler code.
4209 4211
4210 4212 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4211 4213
4212 4214 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4213 4215 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4214 4216 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4215 4217 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4216 4218 even if they were contiguous.
4217 4219 (l1norm): Added this function.
4218 4220 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4219 4221 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4220 4222 and speed.
4221 4223
4222 4224 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4223 4225
4224 4226 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4225 4227 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4226 4228 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4227 4229
4228 4230 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4229 4231
4230 4232 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4231 4233 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4232 4234 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4233 4235
4234 4236 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4235 4237 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4236 4238 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4237 4239
4238 4240 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4239 4241
4240 4242 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4241 4243 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4242 4244 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4243 4245 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4244 4246 activity.
4245 4247
4246 4248 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4247 4249
4248 4250 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4249 4251 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4250 4252 Numeric.identity)
4251 4253
4252 4254 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4253 4255
4254 4256 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4255 4257 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4256 4258 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4257 4259
4258 4260 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4259 4261
4260 4262 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4261 4263 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4262 4264 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4263 4265 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4264 4266
4265 4267 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4266 4268 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4267 4269 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4268 4270 is implemented).
4269 4271
4270 4272 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4271 4273
4272 4274 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4273 4275 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4274 4276 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4275 4277
4276 4278 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4277 4279 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4278 4280 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4279 4281 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4280 4282 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4281 4283
4282 4284 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4283 4285
4284 4286 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4285 4287
4286 4288 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4287 4289 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4288 4290 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4289 4291
4290 4292 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4291 4293
4292 4294 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4293 4295 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4294 4296 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4295 4297
4296 4298 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4297 4299 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4298 4300 crash report from Prabhu.
4299 4301
4300 4302 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4301 4303
4302 4304 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4303 4305 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4304 4306 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4305 4307 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4306 4308 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4307 4309 also be useful in other cases.
4308 4310
4309 4311 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4310 4312 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4311 4313 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4312 4314
4313 4315 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4314 4316
4315 4317 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4316 4318
4317 4319 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4318 4320 installing for a new user under Windows.
4319 4321
4320 4322 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4321 4323
4322 4324 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4323 4325 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4324 4326 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4325 4327 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4326 4328 there.
4327 4329
4328 4330 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4329 4331 info to crash reports.
4330 4332
4331 4333 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4332 4334 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4333 4335 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4334 4336 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4335 4337
4336 4338 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4337 4339
4338 4340 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4339 4341 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4340 4342 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4341 4343 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4342 4344
4343 4345 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4344 4346
4345 4347 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4346 4348 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4347 4349
4348 4350 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4349 4351
4350 4352 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4351 4353 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4352 4354
4353 4355 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4354 4356
4355 4357 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4356 4358
4357 4359 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4358 4360 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4359 4361 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4360 4362
4361 4363 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4362 4364 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4363 4365 with the new auto-indent option.
4364 4366
4365 4367 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4366 4368
4367 4369 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4368 4370 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4369 4371 this class from the main Shell class.
4370 4372
4371 4373 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4372 4374 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4373 4375 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4374 4376 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4375 4377 option).
4376 4378
4377 4379 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4378 4380 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4379 4381 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4380 4382 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4381 4383 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4382 4384
4383 4385 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4384 4386 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4385 4387 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4386 4388
4387 4389 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4388 4390 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4389 4391 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4390 4392 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4391 4393 tracebacks.
4392 4394
4393 4395 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4394 4396 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4395 4397 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4396 4398
4397 4399 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4398 4400
4399 4401 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4400 4402 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4401 4403 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4402 4404 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4403 4405
4404 4406 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4405 4407
4406 4408 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4407 4409 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4408 4410 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4409 4411 for the bug report.
4410 4412
4411 4413 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4412 4414
4413 4415 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4414 4416 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4415 4417 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4416 4418 report.
4417 4419
4418 4420 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4419 4421
4420 4422 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4421 4423 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4422 4424 end).
4423 4425
4424 4426 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4425 4427 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4426 4428 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4427 4429
4428 4430 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4429 4431
4430 4432 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4431 4433 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4432 4434 for the patch.
4433 4435
4434 4436 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4435 4437
4436 4438 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4437 4439 functions.
4438 4440
4439 4441 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
4440 4442
4441 4443 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4442 4444
4443 4445 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4444 4446 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4445 4447 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4446 4448 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4447 4449 private fix.
4448 4450
4449 4451 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4450 4452 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4451 4453 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4452 4454 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4453 4455 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4454 4456 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4455 4457 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4456 4458 fixed for this setup.
4457 4459
4458 4460 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4459 4461 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4460 4462
4461 4463 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4462 4464
4463 4465 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4464 4466
4465 4467 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4466 4468 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4467 4469 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4468 4470 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4469 4471 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4470 4472 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4471 4473 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4472 4474 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4473 4475 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4474 4476
4475 4477 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4476 4478 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4477 4479 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4478 4480
4479 4481 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4480 4482
4481 4483 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4482 4484
4483 4485 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4484 4486 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4485 4487 pickle-related issue in @run).
4486 4488
4487 4489 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4488 4490
4489 4491 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4490 4492 the autocall option at runtime.
4491 4493 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4492 4494 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4493 4495 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4494 4496 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4495 4497 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4496 4498 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4497 4499 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4498 4500 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4499 4501 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4500 4502 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4501 4503 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4502 4504 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4503 4505 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4504 4506 pickles to save something sensible.
4505 4507
4506 4508 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4507 4509
4508 4510 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4509 4511 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4510 4512 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4511 4513
4512 4514 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4513 4515
4514 4516 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4515 4517 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4516 4518
4517 4519 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4518 4520
4519 4521 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4520 4522 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4521 4523 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4522 4524 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4523 4525
4524 4526 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4525 4527
4526 4528 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4527 4529 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4528 4530 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4529 4531 array is non-contiguous.
4530 4532
4531 4533 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4532 4534
4533 4535 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4534 4536 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4535 4537 executed).
4536 4538 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4537 4539 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4538 4540 output.
4539 4541 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4540 4542 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4541 4543 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4542 4544 changing.
4543 4545
4544 4546 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4545 4547
4546 4548 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4547 4549
4548 4550 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4549 4551 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4550 4552 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4551 4553 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4552 4554 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4553 4555 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4554 4556 like a normal command-line.
4555 4557
4556 4558 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4557 4559 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4558 4560 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4559 4561 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4560 4562
4561 4563 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4562 4564
4563 4565 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4564 4566 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4565 4567 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4566 4568 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4567 4569
4568 4570 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4569 4571
4570 4572 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4571 4573 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4572 4574 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4573 4575 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4574 4576 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4575 4577 think it's worth doing.
4576 4578
4577 4579 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4578 4580
4579 4581 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4580 4582
4581 4583 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4582 4584 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4583 4585
4584 4586 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4585 4587 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4586 4588 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4587 4589 also work ok.
4588 4590
4589 4591 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4590 4592
4591 4593 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4592 4594
4593 4595 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4594 4596
4595 4597 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4596 4598 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4597 4599 of gnuplot data files.
4598 4600
4599 4601 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4600 4602
4601 4603 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4602 4604 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4603 4605
4604 4606 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4605 4607
4606 4608 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4607 4609 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4608 4610 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4609 4611 for pointing this out.
4610 4612
4611 4613 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4612 4614
4613 4615 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4614 4616
4615 4617 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4616 4618 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4617 4619 Interactive.
4618 4620
4619 4621 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4620 4622 being imported from iplib.
4621 4623
4622 4624 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4623 4625 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4624 4626 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4625 4627 common name.
4626 4628
4627 4629 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4628 4630 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4629 4631
4630 4632 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4631 4633 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4632 4634
4633 4635 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4634 4636 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4635 4637 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4636 4638 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4637 4639 docstrings).
4638 4640
4639 4641 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4640 4642
4641 4643 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4642 4644 (inconsistent with options).
4643 4645
4644 4646 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4645 4647 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4646 4648 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4647 4649 eps output.
4648 4650
4649 4651 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4650 4652
4651 4653 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4652 4654 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4653 4655 Pinard.
4654 4656
4655 4657 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4656 4658
4657 4659 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4658 4660 history file for new users.
4659 4661 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4660 4662 user running in the .ipython dir.
4661 4663 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4662 4664 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4663 4665 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4664 4666
4665 4667 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4666 4668 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4667 4669 consistently.
4668 4670
4669 4671 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4670 4672 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4671 4673 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4672 4674 libraries I don't have access to.
4673 4675
4674 4676 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4675 4677 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4676 4678 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4677 4679 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4678 4680 report.
4679 4681
4680 4682 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4681 4683
4682 4684 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4683 4685 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4684 4686 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4685 4687 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4686 4688
4687 4689 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4688 4690
4689 4691 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4690 4692 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4691 4693 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4692 4694 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4693 4695 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4694 4696 instance has been created.
4695 4697
4696 4698 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4697 4699 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4698 4700 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4699 4701 dict by hand.
4700 4702
4701 4703 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4702 4704
4703 4705 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4704 4706 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4705 4707 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4706 4708 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4707 4709 broken.
4708 4710
4709 4711 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4710 4712 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4711 4713 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4712 4714 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4713 4715
4714 4716 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4715 4717 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4716 4718 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4717 4719 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4718 4720 is a valid one.
4719 4721
4720 4722 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4721 4723 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4722 4724 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4723 4725
4724 4726 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4725 4727 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4726 4728 simply leftover junk.
4727 4729
4728 4730 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4729 4731
4730 4732 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4731 4733 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4732 4734 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4733 4735
4734 4736 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4735 4737 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4736 4738 exceptions.
4737 4739
4738 4740 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4739 4741
4740 4742 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4741 4743 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4742 4744 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4743 4745 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4744 4746 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4745 4747
4746 4748 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4747 4749 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4748 4750
4749 4751 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4750 4752 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4751 4753 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4752 4754 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4753 4755 problem mentioned below.
4754 4756
4755 4757 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4756 4758
4757 4759 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4758 4760 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4759 4761
4760 4762 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4761 4763 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4762 4764 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4763 4765 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4764 4766 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4765 4767
4766 4768 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4767 4769 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4768 4770 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4769 4771 actual function names.
4770 4772
4771 4773 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4772 4774 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4773 4775 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4774 4776 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4775 4777 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4776 4778 really be only function/method names.
4777 4779
4778 4780 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4779 4781
4780 4782 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4781 4783 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4782 4784 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4783 4785
4784 4786 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4785 4787
4786 4788 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4787 4789 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4788 4790 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4789 4791
4790 4792 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4791 4793 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4792 4794
4793 4795 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4794 4796 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4795 4797 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4796 4798
4797 4799 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4798 4800 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4799 4801 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4800 4802
4801 4803 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4802 4804 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4803 4805 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4804 4806
4805 4807 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4806 4808
4807 4809 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4808 4810 Gnuplot.File objects.
4809 4811
4810 4812 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4811 4813
4812 4814 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4813 4815 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4814 4816 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4815 4817
4816 4818 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4817 4819
4818 4820 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4819 4821 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4820 4822
4821 4823 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4822 4824 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4823 4825
4824 4826 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4825 4827 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4826 4828
4827 4829 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4828 4830
4829 4831 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4830 4832 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4831 4833 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4832 4834 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4833 4835
4834 4836 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4835 4837
4836 4838 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4837 4839 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4838 4840 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4839 4841
4840 4842 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4841 4843
4842 4844 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4843 4845 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4844 4846 workaround).
4845 4847
4846 4848 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4847 4849
4848 4850 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4849 4851 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4850 4852
4851 4853 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4852 4854
4853 4855 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4854 4856 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4855 4857
4856 4858 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4857 4859 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4858 4860 .strip() is called on it.
4859 4861
4860 4862
4861 4863 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4862 4864
4863 4865 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4864 4866 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4865 4867 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4866 4868
4867 4869 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4868 4870 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4869 4871
4870 4872 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4871 4873 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4872 4874 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4873 4875
4874 4876 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4875 4877
4876 4878 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4877 4879 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4878 4880 __main__.
4879 4881
4880 4882 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4881 4883 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4882 4884
4883 4885 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4884 4886 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4885 4887 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4886 4888 Mathematica behaves.
4887 4889
4888 4890 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4889 4891
4890 4892 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4891 4893 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4892 4894
4893 4895 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4894 4896 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4895 4897 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4896 4898
4897 4899 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4898 4900 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4899 4901
4900 4902 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4901 4903
4902 4904 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4903 4905 underflow problems in Numeric.
4904 4906 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4905 4907 for exact integer powers of 2.
4906 4908
4907 4909 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4908 4910 properly.
4909 4911
4910 4912 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4911 4913
4912 4914 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4913 4915 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4914 4916
4915 4917 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4916 4918
4917 4919 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4918 4920 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4919 4921
4920 4922 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4921 4923
4922 4924 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4923 4925 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4924 4926 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4925 4927 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4926 4928 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4927 4929 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4928 4930 times).
4929 4931
4930 4932 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4931 4933 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4932 4934 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4933 4935
4934 4936 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4935 4937
4936 4938 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4937 4939 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4938 4940 embedded code.
4939 4941
4940 4942 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4941 4943 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4942 4944 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4943 4945
4944 4946 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4945 4947 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4946 4948 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4947 4949 less special-casing to remember.
4948 4950
4949 4951 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4950 4952
4951 4953 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4952 4954 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4953 4955 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4954 4956 arg is not a defined object.
4955 4957 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4956 4958 a Mike Heeter idea.
4957 4959
4958 4960 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4959 4961 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4960 4962 interactive use.
4961 4963
4962 4964 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4963 4965 filenames.
4964 4966
4965 4967 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4966 4968
4967 4969 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4968 4970 initialization via another struct.
4969 4971
4970 4972 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4971 4973 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4972 4974
4973 4975 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4974 4976
4975 4977 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4976 4978 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4977 4979 too big).
4978 4980
4979 4981 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4980 4982
4981 4983 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4982 4984 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4983 4985 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4984 4986 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4985 4987
4986 4988 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4987 4989
4988 4990 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4989 4991 macros having broken.
4990 4992
4991 4993 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4992 4994
4993 4995 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4994 4996 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4995 4997 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4996 4998 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4997 4999 not to lists.
4998 5000
4999 5001 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5000 5002
5001 5003 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5002 5004 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5003 5005 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5004 5006
5005 5007 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5006 5008 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5007 5009
5008 5010 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5009 5011 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5010 5012 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5011 5013
5012 5014 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5013 5015 triple-quoted strings.
5014 5016
5015 5017 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5016 5018 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5017 5019 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5018 5020 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5019 5021 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5020 5022 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5021 5023
5022 5024 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5023 5025
5024 5026 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5025 5027 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5026 5028 ultraTB).
5027 5029
5028 5030 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5029 5031
5030 5032 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5031 5033 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5032 5034 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5033 5035 user's 'g' variables).
5034 5036
5035 5037 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5036 5038 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5037 5039 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5038 5040 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5039 5041 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5040 5042 macros.
5041 5043
5042 5044 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5043 5045
5044 5046 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5045 5047 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5046 5048
5047 5049 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5048 5050 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5049 5051 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5050 5052
5051 5053 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5052 5054
5053 5055 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5054 5056 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5055 5057 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5056 5058 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5057 5059 aliases.
5058 5060
5059 5061 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5060 5062
5061 5063 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5062 5064 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5063 5065 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5064 5066 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5065 5067
5066 5068 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5067 5069
5068 5070 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5069 5071 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5070 5072 user-defined functions overrode them.
5071 5073
5072 5074 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5073 5075
5074 5076 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5075 5077 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5076 5078
5077 5079 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5078 5080
5079 5081 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5080 5082 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5081 5083 IPython.
5082 5084
5083 5085 * Released 0.2.13
5084 5086
5085 5087 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5086 5088 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5087 5089 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5088 5090 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5089 5091
5090 5092 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5091 5093
5092 5094 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5093 5095 magic properly formatted for screen.
5094 5096
5095 5097 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5096 5098 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5097 5099
5098 5100 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5099 5101 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5100 5102 etc.)
5101 5103
5102 5104 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5103 5105
5104 5106 * Released 0.2.12
5105 5107
5106 5108 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5107 5109
5108 5110 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5109 5111 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5110 5112 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5111 5113 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5112 5114 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5113 5115 an alias to @run -i.
5114 5116
5115 5117 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5116 5118 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5117 5119
5118 5120 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5119 5121
5120 5122 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5121 5123 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5122 5124 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5123 5125
5124 5126 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5125 5127 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5126 5128 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5127 5129 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5128 5130 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5129 5131 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5130 5132 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5131 5133
5132 5134 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5133 5135
5134 5136 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5135 5137 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5136 5138 printed).
5137 5139
5138 5140 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5139 5141 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5140 5142 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5141 5143
5142 5144 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5143 5145 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5144 5146
5145 5147 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5146 5148 handle magic commands in them.
5147 5149 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5148 5150 ~/mylog' now works.
5149 5151
5150 5152 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5151 5153 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5152 5154
5153 5155 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5154 5156
5155 5157 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5156 5158 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5157 5159
5158 5160 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5159 5161 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5160 5162 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5161 5163 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5162 5164 variables are in the context of an exception.
5163 5165 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5164 5166 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5165 5167
5166 5168 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5167 5169 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5168 5170
5169 5171 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5170 5172
5171 5173 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5172 5174 magics can parse options easier.
5173 5175 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5174 5176 suggested by Chris Hart.
5175 5177 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5176 5178 directory actually is in history.
5177 5179
5178 5180 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5179 5181 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5180 5182 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5181 5183
5182 5184 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5183 5185 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5184 5186 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5185 5187 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5186 5188
5187 5189 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5188 5190
5189 5191 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5190 5192 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5191 5193
5192 5194 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5193 5195 text (was a bug).
5194 5196
5195 5197 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5196 5198
5197 5199 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5198 5200 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5199 5201 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5200 5202
5201 5203 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5202 5204
5203 5205 * Released 0.2.10
5204 5206
5205 5207 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5206 5208
5207 5209 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5208 5210 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5209 5211
5210 5212 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5211 5213
5212 5214 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5213 5215 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5214 5216
5215 5217 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5216 5218
5217 5219 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5218 5220 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5219 5221 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5220 5222 __init__.py)
5221 5223
5222 5224 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5223 5225
5224 5226 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5225 5227 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5226 5228 test for being inside IPython.
5227 5229
5228 5230 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5229 5231 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5230 5232 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5231 5233 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5232 5234
5233 5235 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5234 5236
5235 5237 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5236 5238 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5237 5239 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5238 5240
5239 5241 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5240 5242 embedding example to standard user directory for
5241 5243 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5242 5244
5243 5245 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5244 5246 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5245 5247 hidden global).
5246 5248
5247 5249 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5248 5250 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5249 5251 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5250 5252 case.
5251 5253
5252 5254 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5253 5255
5254 5256 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5255 5257 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5256 5258 start.
5257 5259
5258 5260 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5259 5261 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5260 5262 Numeric or math.
5261 5263
5262 5264 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5263 5265 provided profiles. Now we have:
5264 5266 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5265 5267 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5266 5268 -physics -> same as before
5267 5269
5268 5270 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5269 5271 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5270 5272 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5271 5273 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5272 5274 string adds).
5273 5275
5274 5276 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5275 5277 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5276 5278 line with the gnuplot code).
5277 5279
5278 5280 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5279 5281
5280 5282 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5281 5283 all included files change.
5282 5284
5283 5285 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5284 5286 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5285 5287
5286 5288 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5287 5289 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5288 5290 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5289 5291
5290 5292 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5291 5293 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5292 5294
5293 5295 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5294 5296 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5295 5297
5296 5298 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5297 5299 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5298 5300 now accessible.
5299 5301
5300 5302 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5301 5303 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5302 5304 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5303 5305 removed.
5304 5306 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5305 5307 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5306 5308 don't crash.
5307 5309 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5308 5310 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5309 5311 remains available.
5310 5312
5311 5313 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5312 5314
5313 5315 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5314 5316
5315 5317 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5316 5318
5317 5319 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5318 5320 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5319 5321 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5320 5322 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5321 5323
5322 5324 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5323 5325
5324 5326 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5325 5327 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5326 5328 sync with the output counter.
5327 5329
5328 5330 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5329 5331 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5330 5332
5331 5333 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5332 5334
5333 5335 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5334 5336 readline, fix it back after each call.
5335 5337
5336 5338 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5337 5339 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5338 5340 traceback references are properly deleted.
5339 5341
5340 5342 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5341 5343 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5342 5344
5343 5345 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5344 5346
5345 5347 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5346 5348 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5347 5349 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5348 5350 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5349 5351 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5350 5352 to catch SystemExit).
5351 5353
5352 5354 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5353 5355 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5354 5356 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5355 5357 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5356 5358 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5357 5359 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5358 5360
5359 5361 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5360 5362
5361 5363 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5362 5364 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5363 5365 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5364 5366
5365 5367 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5366 5368 configurable (it should have always been so).
5367 5369
5368 5370 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5369 5371
5370 5372 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5371 5373 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5372 5374 done in a more elegant way.
5373 5375
5374 5376 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5375 5377
5376 5378 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5377 5379 win9x also.
5378 5380
5379 5381 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5380 5382
5381 5383 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5382 5384 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5383 5385
5384 5386 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5385 5387
5386 5388 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5387 5389
5388 5390 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5389 5391 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5390 5392
5391 5393 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5392 5394 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5393 5395
5394 5396 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5395 5397 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5396 5398
5397 5399 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5398 5400 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5399 5401
5400 5402 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5401 5403
5402 5404 * Released 0.2.8
5403 5405
5404 5406 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5405 5407 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5406 5408 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5407 5409 on' so that the first tab completes.
5408 5410 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5409 5411 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5410 5412
5411 5413 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5412 5414 installation.
5413 5415
5414 5416 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5415 5417 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5416 5418
5417 5419 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5418 5420
5419 5421 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5420 5422 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5421 5423 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5422 5424
5423 5425 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5424 5426 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5425 5427
5426 5428 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5427 5429 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5428 5430 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5429 5431 suggestion.
5430 5432
5431 5433 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5432 5434 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5433 5435 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5434 5436
5435 5437 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5436 5438 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5437 5439
5438 5440 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5439 5441
5440 5442 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5441 5443 which properly handles things for windows users.
5442 5444
5443 5445 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5444 5446
5445 5447 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5446 5448 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5447 5449 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5448 5450 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5449 5451 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5450 5452
5451 5453 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5452 5454
5453 5455 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5454 5456
5455 5457 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5456 5458 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5457 5459
5458 5460 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5459 5461
5460 5462 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5461 5463 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5462 5464 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5463 5465 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5464 5466 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5465 5467 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5466 5468
5467 5469 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5468 5470
5469 5471 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5470 5472 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5471 5473
5472 5474 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5473 5475 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5474 5476 cache at 20 values.
5475 5477
5476 5478 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5477 5479 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5478 5480 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5479 5481 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5480 5482
5481 5483 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5482 5484 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5483 5485 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5484 5486 'file show').
5485 5487
5486 5488 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5487 5489 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5488 5490
5489 5491 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5490 5492 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5491 5493 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5492 5494
5493 5495 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5494 5496 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5495 5497 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5496 5498 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5497 5499
5498 5500 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5499 5501 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5500 5502 the prompt strings.
5501 5503
5502 5504 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5503 5505
5504 5506 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5505 5507 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5506 5508
5507 5509 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5508 5510 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5509 5511 either globally or at each call.
5510 5512
5511 5513 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5512 5514 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5513 5515 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5514 5516 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5515 5517
5516 5518 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5517 5519
5518 5520 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5519 5521 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5520 5522
5521 5523 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5522 5524
5523 5525 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5524 5526 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5525 5527 learning some lisp...
5526 5528
5527 5529 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5528 5530
5529 5531 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5530 5532 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5531 5533 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5532 5534 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5533 5535
5534 5536 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5535 5537 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5536 5538 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5537 5539
5538 5540 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5539 5541
5540 5542 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5541 5543 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5542 5544 control to emacs users.
5543 5545
5544 5546 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5545 5547 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5546 5548 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5547 5549 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5548 5550 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5549 5551 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5550 5552
5551 5553 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5552 5554
5553 5555 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5554 5556
5555 5557 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5556 5558 @logstate magic was created.
5557 5559
5558 5560 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5559 5561 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5560 5562
5561 5563 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5562 5564
5563 5565 * Released 0.2.6.
5564 5566
5565 5567 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5566 5568 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5567 5569
5568 5570 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5569 5571 SciPy.
5570 5572
5571 5573 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5572 5574 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5573 5575 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5574 5576 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5575 5577 the section on embedding and the example file.
5576 5578
5577 5579 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5578 5580 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5579 5581 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5580 5582
5581 5583 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5582 5584 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5583 5585 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5584 5586
5585 5587 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5586 5588 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5587 5589 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5588 5590 for this to work.
5589 5591
5590 5592 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5591 5593
5592 5594 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5593 5595 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5594 5596 well inside Emacs buffers.
5595 5597 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5596 5598 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5597 5599 same bug in iplib.
5598 5600
5599 5601 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5600 5602
5601 5603 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5602 5604 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5603 5605
5604 5606 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5605 5607 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5606 5608 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5607 5609
5608 5610 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5609 5611 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5610 5612 display is done.
5611 5613
5612 5614 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5613 5615 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5614 5616
5615 5617 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5616 5618 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5617 5619 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5618 5620 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5619 5621 like in Octave.
5620 5622
5621 5623 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5622 5624 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5623 5625
5624 5626 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5625 5627
5626 5628 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5627 5629 whole file a little.
5628 5630
5629 5631 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5630 5632 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5631 5633 end-user distro.
5632 5634
5633 5635 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5634 5636 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5635 5637 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5636 5638
5637 5639 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5638 5640 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5639 5641
5640 5642 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5641 5643 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5642 5644 for @file.
5643 5645
5644 5646 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5645 5647 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5646 5648 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5647 5649 the code a bit easier.
5648 5650
5649 5651 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5650 5652 information to crash reports.
5651 5653
5652 5654 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5653 5655
5654 5656 * Released 0.2.5.
5655 5657
5656 5658 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5657 5659
5658 5660 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5659 5661 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5660 5662 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5661 5663
5662 5664 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5663 5665
5664 5666 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5665 5667 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5666 5668 have thigs work as expected.
5667 5669
5668 5670 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5669 5671 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5670 5672 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5671 5673 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5672 5674 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5673 5675
5674 5676 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5675 5677 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5676 5678
5677 5679 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5678 5680
5679 5681 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5680 5682 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5681 5683
5682 5684 * README and manual updates.
5683 5685
5684 5686 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5685 5687 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5686 5688
5687 5689 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5688 5690 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5689 5691
5690 5692 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5691 5693 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5692 5694 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5693 5695 extension-less files.
5694 5696
5695 5697 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5696 5698 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5697 5699 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5698 5700
5699 5701 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5700 5702 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5701 5703
5702 5704 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5703 5705 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5704 5706 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5705 5707 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5706 5708 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5707 5709 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5708 5710 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5709 5711 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5710 5712 least make manually a shortcut.
5711 5713
5712 5714 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5713 5715 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5714 5716 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5715 5717 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5716 5718 runtime, with @colors.
5717 5719 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5718 5720 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5719 5721
5720 5722 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5721 5723
5722 5724 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5723 5725 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5724 5726 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5725 5727 read the startup info.
5726 5728
5727 5729 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5728 5730
5729 5731 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5730 5732 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5731 5733 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5732 5734 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5733 5735 type the better off we are.
5734 5736 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5735 5737 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5736 5738 before.
5737 5739
5738 5740 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5739 5741
5740 5742 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5741 5743 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5742 5744 this later.
5743 5745
5744 5746 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5745 5747
5746 5748 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5747 5749 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5748 5750 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5749 5751
5750 5752 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5751 5753
5752 5754 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5753 5755 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5754 5756 spitting out only offset information as before.
5755 5757 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5756 5758 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5757 5759
5758 5760 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5759 5761
5760 5762 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5761 5763 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5762 5764 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5763 5765 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5764 5766 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5765 5767 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5766 5768 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5767 5769 macros.
5768 5770
5769 5771 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5770 5772
5771 5773 * Released 0.2.4.
5772 5774
5773 5775 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5774 5776 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5775 5777 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5776 5778 re-execution.
5777 5779
5778 5780 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5779 5781
5780 5782 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5781 5783 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5782 5784 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5783 5785 documented, of course :)
5784 5786 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5785 5787 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5786 5788 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5787 5789
5788 5790 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5789 5791
5790 5792 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5791 5793 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5792 5794 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5793 5795
5794 5796 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5795 5797
5796 5798 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5797 5799 so I wanted an updated release).
5798 5800
5799 5801 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5800 5802
5801 5803 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5802 5804 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5803 5805 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5804 5806 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5805 5807 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5806 5808
5807 5809 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5808 5810
5809 5811 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5810 5812 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5811 5813
5812 5814 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5813 5815
5814 5816 * Released 0.2.2.
5815 5817
5816 5818 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5817 5819 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5818 5820 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5819 5821 versions.
5820 5822
5821 5823 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5822 5824 (MayaVi author).
5823 5825
5824 5826 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5825 5827
5826 5828 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5827 5829 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5828 5830 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5829 5831 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5830 5832 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5831 5833
5832 5834 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5833 5835 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5834 5836
5835 5837 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5836 5838
5837 5839 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5838 5840 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5839 5841 nice, full-blown manual.
5840 5842
5841 5843 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5842 5844 trivially simple for end-users.
5843 5845
5844 5846 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5845 5847
5846 5848 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5847 5849 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5848 5850
5849 5851 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5850 5852 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5851 5853
5852 5854 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5853 5855
5854 5856 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5855 5857 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5856 5858 people to later upgrade versions.
5857 5859
5858 5860 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5859 5861 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5860 5862 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5861 5863 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5862 5864 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5863 5865 SystemExit).
5864 5866
5865 5867 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5866 5868 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5867 5869 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5868 5870 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5869 5871 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5870 5872
5871 5873 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5872 5874 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5873 5875 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5874 5876
5875 5877 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5876 5878
5877 5879 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5878 5880 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5879 5881
5880 5882 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5881 5883 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5882 5884 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5883 5885 html docs out of it will be found).
5884 5886
5885 5887 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5886 5888
5887 5889 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5888 5890 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5889 5891
5890 5892 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5891 5893
5892 5894 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5893 5895 visiting any directory in _dh.
5894 5896
5895 5897 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5896 5898 it out with numbers.
5897 5899
5898 5900 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5899 5901
5900 5902 * Released 0.1.22
5901 5903
5902 5904 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5903 5905 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5904 5906
5905 5907 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5906 5908 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5907 5909 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5908 5910 screen the necessary mail command.
5909 5911
5910 5912 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5911 5913 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5912 5914 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5913 5915
5914 5916 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5915 5917
5916 5918 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5917 5919 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5918 5920 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5919 5921 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5920 5922 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5921 5923 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5922 5924 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5923 5925 its name).
5924 5926
5925 5927 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5926 5928 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5927 5929 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5928 5930 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5929 5931
5930 5932 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5931 5933
5932 5934 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5933 5935 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5934 5936
5935 5937 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5936 5938 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5937 5939
5938 5940 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5939 5941 completion of @-starting lines.
5940 5942
5941 5943 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5942 5944 info that other files can read from.
5943 5945
5944 5946 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5945 5947 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5946 5948 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5947 5949 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5948 5950 restores produce less errors.
5949 5951
5950 5952 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5951 5953 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5952 5954 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5953 5955 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5954 5956 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5955 5957
5956 5958 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5957 5959 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5958 5960 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5959 5961 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5960 5962 with this, finally...
5961 5963
5962 5964 * Small documentation updates.
5963 5965
5964 5966 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5965 5967 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5966 5968 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5967 5969
5968 5970 * File renaming:
5969 5971 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5970 5972 ipplib --> iplib
5971 5973 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5972 5974
5973 5975 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5974 5976 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5975 5977 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5976 5978
5977 5979 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5978 5980 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5979 5981 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5980 5982
5981 5983 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5982 5984
5983 5985 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5984 5986 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5985 5987 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5986 5988 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5987 5989
5988 5990 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5989 5991 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5990 5992 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5991 5993
5992 5994 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5993 5995 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5994 5996 road.
5995 5997
5996 5998 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5997 5999 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5998 6000 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5999 6001 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6000 6002
6001 6003 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6002 6004
6003 6005 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6004 6006 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6005 6007 file accordingly.
6006 6008
6007 6009 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6008 6010 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6009 6011 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6010 6012 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6011 6013 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6012 6014 separators and proper padding and justification.
6013 6015
6014 6016 * Released 0.1.20
6015 6017
6016 6018 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6017 6019 copy operation was missing).
6018 6020
6019 6021 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6020 6022 its output is always quite long.
6021 6023
6022 6024 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6023 6025 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6024 6026 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6025 6027 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6026 6028
6027 6029 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6028 6030 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6029 6031 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6030 6032 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6031 6033
6032 6034 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6033 6035
6034 6036 * Released 0.1.19
6035 6037
6036 6038 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6037 6039 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6038 6040
6039 6041 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6040 6042 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6041 6043 comment on 'macros').
6042 6044
6043 6045 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6044 6046
6045 6047 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6046 6048 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6047 6049 statements and takes parameters.
6048 6050
6049 6051 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6050 6052
6051 6053 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6052 6054
6053 6055 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6054 6056
6055 6057 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6056 6058 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6057 6059
6058 6060 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6059 6061 ipythonrc-* samples.
6060 6062
6061 6063 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6062 6064 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6063 6065
6064 6066 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6065 6067 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6066 6068
6067 6069 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6068 6070
6069 6071 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6070 6072 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6071 6073 convention.
6072 6074
6073 6075 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6074 6076 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6075 6077
6076 6078 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6077 6079
6078 6080 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6079 6081 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6080 6082
6081 6083 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6082 6084 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6083 6085 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6084 6086 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6085 6087 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6086 6088 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6087 6089 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6088 6090 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6089 6091 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6090 6092 works.
6091 6093
6092 6094 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6093 6095
6094 6096 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6095 6097 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6096 6098 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6097 6099 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6098 6100 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6099 6101 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6100 6102 all the editors, less does that.
6101 6103
6102 6104 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6103 6105
6104 6106 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6105 6107 crash IPython.
6106 6108
6107 6109 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6108 6110
6109 6111 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6110 6112
6111 6113 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6112 6114 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6113 6115 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6114 6116 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6115 6117 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6116 6118 work in _ofind.
6117 6119
6118 6120 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6119 6121 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6120 6122 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6121 6123 (famous last words).
6122 6124
6123 6125 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6124 6126 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6125 6127 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6126 6128 windows).
6127 6129
6128 6130 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6129 6131 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6130 6132
6131 6133 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6132 6134 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6133 6135 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6134 6136 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6135 6137
6136 6138 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6137 6139 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6138 6140 licences and announce it.
6139 6141
6140 6142 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6141 6143 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6142 6144 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6143 6145 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6144 6146
6145 6147 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6146 6148
6147 6149 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6148 6150 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6149 6151 lists.
6150 6152
6151 6153 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6152 6154 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6153 6155 are ok.
6154 6156
6155 6157 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6156 6158 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6157 6159
6158 6160 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6159 6161 this to Nathan.
6160 6162
6161 6163 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6162 6164
6163 6165 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6164 6166 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6165 6167 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6166 6168
6167 6169 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6168 6170 accepted). Cleaner.
6169 6171
6170 6172 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6171 6173 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6172 6174 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6173 6175 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6174 6176 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6175 6177
6176 6178 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6177 6179
6178 6180 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6179 6181 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6180 6182 history after a log replay.
6181 6183
6182 6184 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6183 6185 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6184 6186 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6185 6187 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6186 6188 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6187 6189 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6188 6190
6189 6191 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6190 6192 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6191 6193 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6192 6194 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6193 6195 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6194 6196
6195 6197 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6196 6198
6197 6199 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6198 6200 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6199 6201 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6200 6202 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6201 6203 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6202 6204 one: cache_size.
6203 6205
6204 6206 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6205 6207 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6206 6208 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6207 6209 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6208 6210
6209 6211 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6210 6212 @ or not).
6211 6213
6212 6214 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6213 6215 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6214 6216 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6215 6217 about licensing).
6216 6218
6217 6219 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6218 6220
6219 6221 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6220 6222 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6221 6223
6222 6224 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6223 6225 screen size for page() operations.
6224 6226
6225 6227 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6226 6228 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6227 6229 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6228 6230 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6229 6231
6230 6232 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6231 6233 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6232 6234 option name tables are clearer.
6233 6235
6234 6236 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6235 6237 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6236 6238 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6237 6239 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6238 6240 was also changed a little to align better.
6239 6241
6240 6242 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6241 6243 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6242 6244
6243 6245 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6244 6246 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6245 6247 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6246 6248
6247 6249 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6248 6250 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6249 6251 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6250 6252 he needs it.
6251 6253
6252 6254 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6253 6255
6254 6256 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6255 6257 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6256 6258 warning on it.
6257 6259
6258 6260 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6259 6261 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6260 6262 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6261 6263 was too long).
6262 6264
6263 6265 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6264 6266 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6265 6267 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6266 6268
6267 6269 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6268 6270 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6269 6271 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6270 6272 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6271 6273 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6272 6274 function for the same task.
6273 6275
6274 6276 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6275 6277
6276 6278 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6277 6279
6278 6280 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6279 6281 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6280 6282 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6281 6283
6282 6284 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6283 6285 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6284 6286 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6285 6287
6286 6288 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6287 6289 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6288 6290 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6289 6291
6290 6292 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6291 6293
6292 6294 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6293 6295
6294 6296 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6295 6297 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6296 6298 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6297 6299
6298 6300 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6299 6301
6300 6302 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6301 6303
6302 6304 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6303 6305
6304 6306 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6305 6307 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6306 6308 maintain.
6307 6309
6308 6310 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6309 6311 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6310 6312 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6311 6313 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6312 6314 compiled and startup is much faster.
6313 6315
6314 6316 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6315 6317 while without messing too much more with the code.
6316 6318
6317 6319 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6318 6320
6319 6321 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6320 6322
6321 6323 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6322 6324 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6323 6325 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6324 6326
6325 6327 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6326 6328 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6327 6329
6328 6330 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6329 6331 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6330 6332 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6331 6333 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6332 6334 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6333 6335 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6334 6336
6335 6337 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6336 6338 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6337 6339
6338 6340 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6339 6341 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6340 6342
6341 6343 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6342 6344 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6343 6345 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6344 6346 excessive.
6345 6347
6346 6348 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6347 6349 types (only first word was displayed).
6348 6350
6349 6351 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6350 6352
6351 6353 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6352 6354
6353 6355 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6354 6356 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6355 6357 travel along many directories.
6356 6358
6357 6359 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6358 6360 arguments with default values.
6359 6361
6360 6362 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6361 6363
6362 6364 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6363 6365 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6364 6366
6365 6367 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6366 6368
6367 6369 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6368 6370 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6369 6371 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6370 6372
6371 6373 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6372 6374
6373 6375 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6374 6376 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6375 6377 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6376 6378 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6377 6379 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6378 6380 purposes.
6379 6381
6380 6382 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6381 6383 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6382 6384 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6383 6385 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6384 6386 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6385 6387 one can simply say
6386 6388 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6387 6389 or even
6388 6390 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6389 6391
6390 6392 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6391 6393 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6392 6394 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6393 6395
6394 6396 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6395 6397 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6396 6398 they were defined in
6397 6399
6398 6400 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6399 6401
6400 6402 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6401 6403 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6402 6404 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6403 6405 these to show the same information.
6404 6406
6405 6407 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6406 6408
6407 6409 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6408 6410 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6409 6411 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6410 6412 backtracked on the whole class!)
6411 6413
6412 6414 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6413 6415 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6414 6416 everything works as before).
6415 6417
6416 6418 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6417 6419 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6418 6420 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6419 6421 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6420 6422
6421 6423 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6422 6424
6423 6425 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6424 6426
6425 6427 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6426 6428 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6427 6429
6428 6430 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6429 6431 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6430 6432 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6431 6433 this later.
6432 6434
6433 6435 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6434 6436
6435 6437 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6436 6438 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6437 6439 line option.
6438 6440
6439 6441 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6440 6442 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6441 6443 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6442 6444 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6443 6445 didn't return a result).
6444 6446
6445 6447 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6446 6448
6447 6449 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6448 6450
6449 6451 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6450 6452 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6451 6453 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6452 6454 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6453 6455
6454 6456 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6455 6457
6456 6458 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6457 6459
6458 6460 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6459 6461 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6460 6462
6461 6463 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6462 6464 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6463 6465 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6464 6466 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6465 6467 in with the next entry:
6466 6468
6467 6469 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6468 6470 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6469 6471 handling.
6470 6472
6471 6473 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6472 6474 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6473 6475 namespace protection and documentation.
6474 6476
6475 6477 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6476 6478
6477 6479 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6478 6480 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6479 6481
6480 6482 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6481 6483
6482 6484 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6483 6485
6484 6486 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6485 6487
6486 6488 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6487 6489 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6488 6490 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6489 6491 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6490 6492 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6491 6493
6492 6494 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6493 6495 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6494 6496 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6495 6497
6496 6498 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6497 6499
6498 6500 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6499 6501 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6500 6502
6501 6503 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6502 6504
6503 6505 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6504 6506
6505 6507 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6506 6508 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6507 6509 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6508 6510 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6509 6511 ScientificPython.
6510 6512
6511 6513 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6512 6514
6513 6515 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6514 6516 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6515 6517 when called with no args.
6516 6518
6517 6519 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6518 6520 closely.
6519 6521
6520 6522 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6521 6523 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6522 6524 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6523 6525 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6524 6526 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6525 6527
6526 6528 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6527 6529
6528 6530 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6529 6531 customizations there and access them via import.
6530 6532
6531 6533 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6532 6534
6533 6535 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6534 6536
6535 6537 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6536 6538 Nathan and Janko.
6537 6539
6538 6540 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6539 6541
6540 6542 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6541 6543 too long.
6542 6544
6543 6545 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6544 6546
6545 6547 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6546 6548 ?sin and sin?
6547 6549 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6548 6550 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6549 6551 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6550 6552 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6551 6553
6552 6554 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6553 6555
6554 6556 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6555 6557
6556 6558 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6557 6559 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6558 6560
6559 6561 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6560 6562 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6561 6563 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6562 6564 me).
6563 6565
6564 6566 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6565 6567 protected (reasonably).
6566 6568
6567 6569 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6568 6570 note through it (it was too long).
6569 6571
6570 6572 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6571 6573 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But

6577 6579
6578 6580 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6579 6581 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6580 6582 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6581 6583
6582 6584 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6583 6585 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6584 6586 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.

6586 6588 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6587 6589
6588 6590 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6589 6591
6590 6592 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6591 6593
6592 6594 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6593 6595 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6594 6596 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6595 6597 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6596 6598 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6597 6599 break.
6598 6600
6599 6601 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6600 6602 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6601 6603 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6602 6604 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6603 6605 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6604 6606 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6605 6607
6606 6608 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6607 6609 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6608 6610 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6609 6611 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6610 6612 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6611 6613 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6612 6614 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6613 6615 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6614 6616 trick.
6615 6617
6616 6618 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6617 6619 session restoring.
6618 6620
6619 6621 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6620 6622 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6621 6623 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6622 6624 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6623 6625 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6624 6626
6625 6627 * Started ChangeLog.
