3 3 ultraTB.py -- Spice up your tracebacks!
4 4
5 5 * ColorTB
6 6 I've always found it a bit hard to visually parse tracebacks in Python. The
7 7 ColorTB class is a solution to that problem. It colors the different parts of a
8 8 traceback in a manner similar to what you would expect from a syntax-highlighting
9 9 text editor.
10 10
11 11 Installation instructions for ColorTB:
12 12 import sys,ultraTB
13 13 sys.excepthook = ultraTB.ColorTB()
14 14
15 15 * VerboseTB
16 16 I've also included a port of Ka-Ping Yee's "cgitb.py" that produces all kinds
17 17 of useful info when a traceback occurs. Ping originally had it spit out HTML
18 18 and intended it for CGI programmers, but why should they have all the fun? I
19 19 altered it to spit out colored text to the terminal. It's a bit overwhelming,
20 20 but kind of neat, and maybe useful for long-running programs that you believe
21 21 are bug-free. If a crash *does* occur in that type of program you want details.
22 22 Give it a shot--you'll love it or you'll hate it.
23 23
24 24 Note:
25 25
26 26 The Verbose mode prints the variables currently visible where the exception
27 27 happened (shortening their strings if too long). This can potentially be
28 28 very slow, if you happen to have a huge data structure whose string
29 29 representation is complex to compute. Your computer may appear to freeze for
30 30 a while with cpu usage at 100%. If this occurs, you can cancel the traceback
31 31 with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it more than once).
32 32
33 33 If you encounter this kind of situation often, you may want to use the
34 34 Verbose_novars mode instead of the regular Verbose, which avoids formatting
35 35 variables (but otherwise includes the information and context given by
36 36 Verbose).
37 37
38 38
39 39 Installation instructions for ColorTB:
40 40 import sys,ultraTB
41 41 sys.excepthook = ultraTB.VerboseTB()
42 42
43 43 Note: Much of the code in this module was lifted verbatim from the standard
44 44 library module 'traceback.py' and Ka-Ping Yee's 'cgitb.py'.
45 45
46 46 * Color schemes
47 47 The colors are defined in the class TBTools through the use of the
48 48 ColorSchemeTable class. Currently the following exist:
49 49
50 50 - NoColor: allows all of this module to be used in any terminal (the color
51 51 escapes are just dummy blank strings).
52 52
53 53 - Linux: is meant to look good in a terminal like the Linux console (black
54 54 or very dark background).
55 55
56 56 - LightBG: similar to Linux but swaps dark/light colors to be more readable
57 57 in light background terminals.
58 58
59 59 You can implement other color schemes easily, the syntax is fairly
60 60 self-explanatory. Please send back new schemes you develop to the author for
61 61 possible inclusion in future releases.

3 3 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): Improve the monkeypatch to
4 4 inspect.findsource(). It can now find source lines inside zipped
5 5 packages.
6
7 * IPython/ultraTB.py: When constructing tracebacks, try to use __file__
8 in the frame's namespace before trusting the filename in the code object
9 which created the frame.

8 12
9 13 2007-11-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
10 14
11 15 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstop): add a proper logstop()
12 16 method to fully stop the logger, along with a corresponding
13 17 %logstop magic for interactive use.
14 18
15 19 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_host_completers.py: added new host
16 20 completers functionality, contributed by Gael Pasgrimaud
17 21 <gawel-AT-afpy.org>.
18 22
19 23 2007-11-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
20 24
21 25 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (ArgumentError): Apply patch by Paul Mueller
22 26 <gakusei-AT-dakotacom.net>, to fix deprecated string exceptions in
23 27 options handling. Unicode fix in %whos (committed a while ago)
24 28 was also contributed by Paul.
25 29
26 30 2007-11-23 Darren Dale <darren.dale@cornell.edu>
27 31 * ipy_traits_completer.py: let traits_completer respect the user's
28 32 readline_omit__names setting.
29 33
30 34 2007-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
31 35 * ipy_completers.py (import completer): assume 'xml' module exists.
32 36 Do not add every module twice anymore. Closes #196.
33 37
34 38 * ipy_completers.py, ipy_app_completers.py: Add proper apt-get
35 39 completer that uses apt-cache to search for existing packages.
36 40
37 41 2007-11-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>

42 46 2007-11-01 Brian Granger <ellisonbg@gmail.com>
43 47
44 48 * iplib.py, rlineimpl.py: Applied Body Water's patches to get IPython
45 49 working with OS X 10.5 libedit implementation of readline.
46 50
47 51 2007-10-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
48 52
49 53 * iplib.py(user_setup): To route around buggy installations where
50 54 UserConfig is not available, create a minimal _ipython.
51 55
52 56 * iplib.py: Unicode fixes from Jorgen.
53 57
54 58 * genutils.py: Slist now has new method 'fields()' for extraction of
55 59 whitespace-separated fields from line-oriented data.
56 60
57 61 2007-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
58 62
59 63 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug that could arise
60 64 when querying objects with no __class__ attribute (such as
61 65 f2py-generated modules).
62 66
63 67 2007-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
64 68
65 69 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): track compilation time and report
66 70 it if longer than 0.1s (fix done to %time and %timeit). After a
67 71 SAGE bug report: http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/632.
68 72
69 73 2007-09-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
70 74
71 75 * genutils.py(make_quoted_expr): Do not use Itpl, it does
72 76 not support unicode at the moment. Fixes (many) magic calls with
73 77 special characters.
74 78
75 79 2007-09-14 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
76 80
77 81 * IPython/genutils.py (doctest_reload): expose the doctest
78 82 reloader to the user so that people can easily reset doctest while
79 83 using it interactively. Fixes a problem reported by Jorgen.
80 84
81 85 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): protect the
82 86 FakeModule instances used for __main__ in %run calls from
83 87 deletion, so that user code defined in them isn't left with
84 88 dangling references due to the Python module deletion machinery.
85 89 This should fix the problems reported by Darren.
86 90
87 91 2007-09-10 Darren Dale <dd55@cornell.edu>
88 92
89 93 * Cleanup of IPShellQt and IPShellQt4

93 97 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): further fixes for
94 98 doctest support.
95 99
96 100 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): minor docstring improvements.
97 101
98 102 2007-09-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
99 103
100 104 * Magic.py (%pushd, %popd, %dirs): Fix dir stack - push *current*
101 105 directory, not the target directory.
102 106
103 107 * ipapi.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: Add ipapi.UsageError, a lighter weight
104 108 exception that won't print the tracebacks. Switched many magics to
105 109 raise them on error situations, also GetoptError is not printed
106 110 anymore.
107 111
108 112 2007-09-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
109 113
110 114 * iplib.py: do not auto-alias "dir", it screws up other dir auto
111 115 aliases.
112 116
113 117 * genutils.py: SList.grep() implemented.
114 118
115 119 * ipy_editors.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: Add some editors
116 120 for easy "out of the box" setup of several common editors, so that
117 121 e.g. '%edit os.path.isfile' will jump to the correct line
118 122 automatically. Contributions for command lines of your favourite
119 123 editors welcome.
120 124
121 125 2007-09-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
122 126
123 127 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fixed bug that was
124 128 preventing source display in certain cases. In reality I think
125 129 the problem is with Ubuntu's Python build, but this change works
126 130 around the issue in some cases (not in all, unfortunately). I'd
127 131 filed a Python bug on this with more details, but in the change of
128 132 bug trackers it seems to have been lost.
129 133
130 134 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_dhist): restore %dhist. No, cd -TAB is
131 135 not the same, it's not self-documenting, doesn't allow range
132 136 selection, and sorts alphabetically instead of numerically.
133 137 (magic_r): restore %r. No, "up + enter. One char magic" is not
134 138 the same thing, since %r takes parameters to allow fast retrieval
135 139 of old commands. I've received emails from users who use this a
136 140 LOT, so it stays.
137 141 (magic_automagic): restore %automagic. "use _ip.option.automagic"
138 142 is not a valid replacement b/c it doesn't provide an complete
139 143 explanation (which the automagic docstring does).
140 144 (magic_autocall): restore %autocall, with improved docstring.
141 145 Same argument as for others, "use _ip.options.autocall" is not a
142 146 valid replacement.
143 147 (magic_pdef): restore %pdef & friends. Used widely, mentioned in
144 148 tutorials and online docs.
145 149
146 150 2007-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
147 151
148 152 * IPython/usage.py (quick_reference): mention magics in quickref,
149 153 modified main banner to mention %quickref.
150 154
151 155 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule): fixes for doctest compatibility.
152 156
153 157 2007-09-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
154 158
155 159 * ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_workdir.py, ipy_fsops.py, iplib.py:
156 160 Callable aliases now pass the _ip as first arg. This breaks
157 161 compatibility with earlier 0.8.2.svn series! (though they should
158 162 not have been in use yet outside these few extensions)
159 163
160 164 2007-09-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
161 165
162 166 * external/mglob.py: expand('dirname') => ['dirname'], instead
163 167 of ['dirname/foo','dirname/bar', ...].
164 168
165 169 * Extensions/ipy_fsops.py: added, has usefull shell utils for plain
166 170 win32 installations: icp, imv, imkdir, igrep, irm, collect (collect
167 171 is useful for others as well).
168 172
169 173 * iplib.py: on callable aliases (as opposed to old style aliases),
170 174 do var_expand() immediately, and use make_quoted_expr instead
171 175 of hardcoded r"""
172 176
173 177 * Extensions/ipy_profile_sh.py: Try to detect cygwin on win32,
174 178 if not available load ipy_fsops.py for cp, mv, etc. replacements
175 179
176 180 * OInspect.py, ipy_which.py: improve %which and obj? for callable
177 181 aliases
178 182
179 183 2007-09-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
180 184
181 185 * ipy_profile_zope.py: add zope profile, by Stefan Eletzhofer.
182 186 Relicensed under BSD with the authors approval.
183 187
184 188 * ipmaker.py, usage.py: Remove %magic from default banner, improve
185 189 %quickref
186 190
187 191 2007-09-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
188 192
189 193 * Magic.py: %time now passes expression through prefilter,
190 194 allowing IPython syntax.
191 195
192 196 2007-09-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
193 197
194 198 * ipmaker.py: Always show full traceback when newstyle config fails
195 199
196 200 2007-08-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
197 201
198 202 * Magic.py: fix %cd for nonexistent dir when dhist is empty, close #180
199 203
200 204 2007-08-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
201 205
202 206 * ipmaker.py: Command line args have the highest priority again
203 207
204 208 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: -i command line argument now behaves as in
205 209 normal python, i.e. leaves the IPython session running after -c
206 210 command or running a batch file from command line.
207 211
208 212 2007-08-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
209 213
210 214 * iplib.py: no extra empty (last) line in raw hist w/ multiline
211 215 statements
212 216
213 217 * logger.py: Fix bug where blank lines in history were not
214 218 added until AFTER adding the current line; translated and raw
215 219 history should finally be in sync with prompt now.
216 220
217 221 * ipy_completers.py: quick_completer now makes it easy to create
218 222 trivial custom completers
219 223
220 224 * clearcmd.py: shadow history compression & erasing, fixed input hist
221 225 clearing.
222 226
223 227 * envpersist.py, history.py: %env (sh profile only), %hist completers
224 228
225 229 * genutils.py, Prompts.py, Magic.py: win32 - prompt (with \yDEPTH) and
226 230 term title now include the drive letter, and always use / instead of
227 231 os.sep (as per recommended approach for win32 ipython in general).
228 232
229 233 * ipykit.py, ipy_kitcfg.py: special launcher for ipykit. Allows running
230 234 plain python scripts from ipykit command line by running
231 235 "py myscript.py", even w/o installed python.
232 236
233 237 2007-08-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
234 238
235 239 * ipmaker.py: finding ipythonrc-PROF now skips ipy_profile_PROF.
236 240 (for backwards compatibility)
237 241
238 242 * history.py: switch back to %hist -t from %hist -r as default.
239 243 At least until raw history is fixed for good.
240 244
241 245 2007-08-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
242 246
243 247 * ipapi.py, iplib.py: DebugTools accessible via _ip.dbg, to catch &
244 248 locate alias redeclarations etc. Also, avoid handling
245 249 _ip.IP.alias_table directly, prefer using _ip.defalias.
246 250
247 251
248 252 2007-08-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
249 253
250 254 * prefilter.py: ! is now always served first
251 255
252 256 2007-08-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
253 257
254 258 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): fix the SystemExit
255 259 auto-suppression code to work in Python2.4 (the internal structure
256 260 of that exception changed and I'd only tested the code with 2.5).
257 261 Bug reported by a SciPy attendee.
258 262
259 263 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
260 264
261 265 * prefilter.py: reverted !c:/bin/foo fix, made % in
262 266 multiline specials work again
263 267
264 268 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
265 269
266 270 * prefilter.py: Take more care to special-case !, so that
267 271 !c:/bin/foo.exe works.
268 272
269 273 * setup.py: if we are building eggs, strip all docs and
270 274 examples (it doesn't make sense to bytecompile examples,
271 275 and docs would be in an awkward place anyway).
272 276
273 277 * Ryan Krauss' patch fixes start menu shortcuts when IPython
274 278 is installed into a directory that has spaces in the name.
275 279
276 280 2007-08-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
277 281
278 282 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): fix prompt separators in
279 283 doctest profile and %doctest_mode, so they actually generate the
280 284 blank lines needed by doctest to separate individual tests.
281 285
282 286 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): modify so that running code
283 287 which calls sys.exit(0) (or equivalently, raise SystemExit(0))
284 288 doesn't get a printed traceback. Any other value in sys.exit(),
285 289 including the empty call, still generates a traceback. This
286 290 enables use of %run without having to pass '-e' for codes that
287 291 correctly set the exit status flag.
288 292
289 293 2007-08-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
290 294
291 295 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
292 296 fix problems with doctests failing when run inside IPython due to
293 297 IPython's modifications of sys.displayhook.
294 298
295 299 2007-8-9 Fernando Perez <fperez@planck.colorado.edu>
296 300
297 301 * IPython/ipapi.py (to_user_ns): update to accept a dict as well as
298 302 a string with names.
299 303
300 304 2007-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
301 305
302 306 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): added new %doctest_mode
303 307 magic to toggle on/off the doctest pasting support without having
304 308 to leave a session to switch to a separate profile.
305 309
306 310 2007-08-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
307 311
308 312 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py (main): fix prompt to
309 313 introduce a blank line between inputs, to conform to doctest
310 314 requirements.
311 315
312 316 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix another part where
313 317 auto-generated docstrings for new-style classes were showing up.
314 318
315 319 2007-08-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
316 320
317 321 * api_changes: Add new file to track backward-incompatible
318 322 user-visible changes.
319 323
320 324 2007-08-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
321 325
322 326 * ipmaker.py: fix bug where user_config_ns didn't exist at all
323 327 before all the config files were handled.
324 328
325 329 2007-08-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
326 330
327 331 * IPython/irunner.py (RunnerFactory): Add new factory class for
328 332 creating reusable runners based on filenames.
329 333
330 334 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py: New profile for
331 335 doctest support. It sets prompts/exceptions as similar to
332 336 standard Python as possible, so that ipython sessions in this
333 337 profile can be easily pasted as doctests with minimal
334 338 modifications. It also enables pasting of doctests from external
335 339 sources (even if they have leading whitespace), so that you can
336 340 rerun doctests from existing sources.
337 341
338 342 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix a buglet where after entering
339 343 some whitespace, the prompt would become a continuation prompt
340 344 with no way of exiting it other than Ctrl-C. This fix brings us
341 345 into conformity with how the default python prompt works.
342 346
343 347 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py (prefilter_paste):
344 348 Add support for pasting not only lines that start with '>>>', but
345 349 also with ' >>>'. That is, arbitrary whitespace can now precede
346 350 the prompts. This makes the system useful for pasting doctests
347 351 from docstrings back into a normal session.
348 352
349 353 2007-08-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
350 354
351 355 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): fix bug introduced in
352 356 r1357, which had killed multiple invocations of an embedded
353 357 ipython (this means that example-embed has been broken for over 1
354 358 year!!!). Rather than possibly breaking the batch stuff for which
355 359 the code in iplib.py/interact was introduced, I worked around the
356 360 problem in the embedding class in Shell.py. We really need a
357 361 bloody test suite for this code, I'm sick of finding stuff that
358 362 used to work breaking left and right every time I use an old
359 363 feature I hadn't touched in a few months.
360 364 (kill_embedded): Add a new magic that only shows up in embedded
361 365 mode, to allow users to permanently deactivate an embedded instance.
362 366
363 367 2007-08-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
364 368
365 369 * iplib.py, ipy_profile_sh.py (runlines): Fix the bug where raw
366 370 history gets out of sync on runlines (e.g. when running macros).
367 371
368 372 2007-07-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
369 373
370 374 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_colors): fix win32-related error message
371 375 that could appear under *nix when readline was missing. Patch by
372 376 Scott Jackson, closes #175.
373 377
374 378 2007-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
375 379
376 380 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_traits_completer.py: Add a new custom
377 381 completer that it traits-aware, so that traits objects don't show
378 382 all of their internal attributes all the time.
379 383
380 384 * IPython/genutils.py (dir2): moved this code from inside
381 385 completer.py to expose it publicly, so I could use it in the
382 386 wildcards bugfix.
383 387
384 388 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix a bug reported by
385 389 Stefan with Traits.
386 390
387 391 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): change internal
388 392 var name from 'object' to 'obj', since 'object' is now a builtin
389 393 and this can lead to weird bugs if reusing this code elsewhere.
390 394
391 395 2007-07-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
392 396
393 397 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix small glitches in
394 398 'foo?' and update the code to prevent printing of default
395 399 docstrings that started appearing after I added support for
396 400 new-style classes. The approach I'm using isn't ideal (I just
397 401 special-case those strings) but I'm not sure how to more robustly
398 402 differentiate between truly user-written strings and Python's
399 403 automatic ones.
400 404
401 405 2007-07-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
402 406
403 407 * completer.py: Applied Matthew Neeley's patch:
404 408 Dynamic attributes from trait_names and _getAttributeNames are added
405 409 to the list of tab completions, but when this happens, the attribute
406 410 list is turned into a set, so the attributes are unordered when
407 411 printed, which makes it hard to find the right completion. This patch
408 412 turns this set back into a list and sort it.
409 413
410 414 2007-07-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
411 415
412 416 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add support for new-style
413 417 classes in various inspector functions.
414 418
415 419 2007-06-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
416 420
417 421 * shadowns.py, iplib.py, ipapi.py, OInspect.py:
418 422 Implement "shadow" namespace, and callable aliases that reside there.
419 423 Use them by:
420 424
421 425 _ip.defalias('foo',myfunc) # creates _sh.foo that points to myfunc
422 426
423 427 foo hello world
424 428 (gets translated to:)
425 429 _sh.foo(r"""hello world""")
426 430
427 431 In practice, this kind of alias can take the role of a magic function
428 432
429 433 * New generic inspect_object, called on obj? and obj??
430 434
431 435 2007-06-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
432 436
433 437 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): fix a problem with
434 438 inspect.getfile that can cause crashes during traceback construction.
435 439
436 440 2007-06-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
437 441
438 442 * iplib.py (handle_auto): Try to use ascii for printing "--->"
439 443 autocall rewrite indication, becausesometimes unicode fails to print
440 444 properly (and you get ' - - - '). Use plain uncoloured ---> for
441 445 unicode.
442 446
443 447 * shadow history. Usable through "%hist -g <pat>" and "%rep 0123".
444 448
445 449 . pickleshare 'hash' commands (hget, hset, hcompress,
446 450 hdict) for efficient shadow history storage.
447 451
448 452 2007-06-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
449 453
450 454 * ipapi.py: _ip.to_user_ns(vars, interactive = True).
451 455 Added kw arg 'interactive', tell whether vars should be visible
452 456 with %whos.
453 457
454 458 2007-06-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
455 459
456 460 * pspersistence.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: directory history now saved
457 461 to db
458 462
459 463 * iplib.py: "ipython -c <cmd>" now passes the command through prefilter.
460 464 Also, it exits IPython immediately after evaluating the command (just like
461 465 std python)
462 466
463 467 2007-06-05 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
464 468
465 469 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a new table icap, which executes a
466 470 Python string and captures the output. (Idea and original patch by
467 471 Stefan van der Walt)
468 472
469 473 2007-06-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
470 474
471 475 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): update printing of
472 476 exception types for Python 2.5 (now all exceptions in the stdlib
473 477 are new-style classes).
474 478
475 479 2007-05-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
476 480
477 481 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add new commands refresh and
478 482 refresh_timer (mapped to "R"/"F5" and to the menu) which restarts
479 483 the iterator once (refresh) or after every x seconds (refresh_timer).
480 484 Add a working implementation of "searchexpression", where the text
481 485 entered is not the text to search for, but an expression that must
482 486 be true. Added display of shortcuts to the menu. Added commands "pickinput"
483 487 and "pickinputattr" that put the object or attribute under the cursor
484 488 in the input line. Split the statusbar to be able to display the currently
485 489 active refresh interval. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
486 490
487 491 2007-05-29 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
488 492
489 493 * fixing set_term_title to use ctypes as default
490 494
491 495 * fixing set_term_title fallback to work when curent dir
492 496 is on a windows network share
493 497
494 498 2007-05-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
495 499
496 500 * %cpaste: strip + with > from left (diffs).
497 501
498 502 * iplib.py: Fix crash when readline not installed
499 503
500 504 2007-05-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
501 505
502 506 * generics.py: intruduce easy to extend result_display generic
503 507 function (using simplegeneric.py).
504 508
505 509 * Fixed the append functionality of %set.
506 510
507 511 2007-05-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
508 512
509 513 * New magic: %rep (fetch / run old commands from history)
510 514
511 515 * New extension: mglob (%mglob magic), for powerful glob / find /filter
512 516 like functionality
513 517
514 518 % maghistory.py: %hist -g PATTERM greps the history for pattern
515 519
516 520 2007-05-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
517 521
518 522 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a Table ihist that can be used to
519 523 browse the IPython input history
520 524
521 525 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Added two command to ibrowse: pickinput
522 526 (mapped to "i") can be used to put the object under the curser in the input
523 527 line. pickinputattr (mapped to "I") does the same for the attribute under
524 528 the cursor.
525 529
526 530 2007-05-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
527 531
528 532 * Grand magic cleansing (changeset [2380]):
529 533
530 534 * Introduce ipy_legacy.py where the following magics were
531 535 moved:
532 536
533 537 pdef pdoc psource pfile rehash dhist Quit p r automagic autocall
534 538
535 539 If you need them, either use default profile or "import ipy_legacy"
536 540 in your ipy_user_conf.py
537 541
538 542 * Move sh and scipy profile to Extensions from UserConfig. this implies
539 543 you should not edit them, but you don't need to run %upgrade when
540 544 upgrading IPython anymore.
541 545
542 546 * %hist/%history now operates in "raw" mode by default. To get the old
543 547 behaviour, run '%hist -n' (native mode).
544 548
545 549 * split ipy_stock_completers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py and
546 550 ipy_app_completers.py. Stock completers (%cd, import, %run) are now
547 551 installed as default.
548 552
549 553 * sh profile now installs ipy_signals.py, for (hopefully) better ctrl+c
550 554 handling.
551 555
552 556 * iplib.py, ipapi.py: _ip.set_next_input(s) sets the next ("default")
553 557 input if readline is available.
554 558
555 559 2007-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
556 560
557 561 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
558 562
559 563 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
560 564 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
561 565 no python installation required).
562 566
563 567 * Removed ipythonrc-scipy, ipy_profile_scipy.py takes
564 568 its place.
565 569
566 570 * rlineimpl.py, genutils.py (get_home_dir): py2exe support
567 571
568 572 2007-05-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
569 573
570 574 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
571 575 failure of 'title' system call properly.
572 576
573 577 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
574 578
575 579 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
576 580 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
577 581
578 582 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
579 583
580 584 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
581 585 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
582 586 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
583 587
584 588 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
585 589
586 590 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
587 591 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
588 592
589 593 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
590 594
591 595 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
592 596 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
593 597
594 598 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
595 599 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
596 600
597 601 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
598 602 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
599 603 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
600 604
601 605 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
602 606
603 607 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
604 608 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
605 609 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
606 610 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
607 611
608 612 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
609 613 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
610 614
611 615 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
612 616
613 617 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
614 618 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
615 619 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
616 620 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
617 621
618 622 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
619 623
620 624 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
621 625
622 626 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
623 627 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
624 628
625 629 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
626 630
627 631 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
628 632
629 633 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
630 634
631 635 * iplib.py: (pre_config_initialization) Catch UnicodeDecodeError if the
632 636 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
633 637
634 638 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
635 639
636 640 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
637 641
638 642 * Update version number
639 643
640 644 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
641 645
642 646 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
643 647
644 648 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
645 649 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
646 650 bug discovered by Ville).
647 651
648 652 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
649 653
650 654 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
651 655 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
652 656
653 657 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
654 658
655 659
656 660 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
657 661
658 662 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
659 663 Closes #149.
660 664
661 665 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
662 666 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
663 667 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
664 668
665 669 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
666 670
667 671 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
668 672 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
669 673 allows wildcards.
670 674
671 675 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
672 676 as opposed to returning nothing.
673 677
674 678 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
675 679 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
676 680
677 681 2007-04-22 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
678 682
679 683 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
680 684 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
681 685
682 686 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
683 687
684 688 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
685 689 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
686 690
687 691 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
688 692
689 693 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
690 694 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
691 695 IPython instance.
692 696
693 697 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
694 698
695 699 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
696 700 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
697 701 'Iptl' template notation,
698 702
699 703 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
700 704 safer & faster 'import' completer.
701 705
702 706 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
703 707 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
704 708
705 709 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
706 710 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
707 711 defmacro() etc.)
708 712
709 713 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
710 714
711 715 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
712 716
713 717 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
714 718
715 719 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
716 720
717 721 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
718 722 and later on win32.
719 723
720 724 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
721 725
722 726 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
723 727
724 728 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
725 729
726 730 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
727 731 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
728 732
729 733 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
730 734
731 735 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
732 736
733 737 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
734 738
735 739 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
736 740
737 741 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
738 742
739 743 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
740 744 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
741 745 every %run call.
742 746
743 747 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
744 748 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
745 749 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
746 750
747 751 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
748 752
749 753 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
750 754 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
751 755 Stefan for the fix.
752 756
753 757 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
754 758 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
755 759 him.
756 760
757 761 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
758 762 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
759 763 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
760 764 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
761 765
762 766 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
763 767 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
764 768 each runcode access.
765 769
766 770 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
767 771 message.
768 772
769 773 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
770 774
771 775 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
772 776 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
773 777 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
774 778
775 779 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
776 780 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
777 781 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
778 782 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
779 783 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
780 784 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
781 785 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
782 786 anything up until we know if it actually works.
783 787
784 788 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
785 789 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
786 790 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
787 791 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
788 792 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
789 793
790 794 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
791 795
792 796 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
793 797 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
794 798 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
795 799
796 800 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
797 801
798 802 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
799 803 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
800 804 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
801 805
802 806 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
803 807
804 808 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
805 809 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
806 810 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
807 811 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
808 812 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
809 813
810 814 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
811 815
812 816 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
813 817 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
814 818
815 819 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
816 820 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
817 821 details in comments left in the code.
818 822
819 823 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
820 824 similar to what we had for Numeric.
821 825
822 826 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
823 827 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
824 828 than readline. Closes #109.
825 829
826 830 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
827 831 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
828 832
829 833 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
830 834
831 835 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
832 836 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
833 837 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
834 838 ongoing Unicode support work.
835 839
836 840 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
837 841 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
838 842 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
839 843 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
840 844
841 845 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
842 846
843 847 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
844 848 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
845 849
846 850 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
847 851
848 852 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
849 853 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
850 854 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
851 855
852 856 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
853 857
854 858 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
855 859 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
856 860 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
857 861 long definition lines for functions.
858 862
859 863 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
860 864
861 865 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
862 866 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
863 867 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
864 868 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
865 869
866 870 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
867 871
868 872 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
869 873
870 874 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
871 875
872 876 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
873 877 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
874 878 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
875 879
876 880 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
877 881 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
878 882
879 883 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
880 884 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
881 885
882 886 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
883 887
884 888 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
885 889 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
886 890 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
887 891
888 892 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
889 893
890 894 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
891 895 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
892 896
893 897 2007-03-20 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
894 898 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
895 899 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
896 900 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
897 901 sometimes return "" as last element.
898 902
899 903 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
900 904
901 905 * IPython/completer.py
902 906 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
903 907 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
904 908 would be completed too early.
905 909
906 910 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
907 911 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
908 912 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
909 913 backwards compatibility.
910 914
911 915 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
912 916 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
913 917 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
914 918 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
915 919 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
916 920 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
917 921 also works when debugging.
918 922
919 923 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
920 924 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
921 925
922 926 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
923 927 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
924 928 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
925 929
926 930 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
927 931 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
928 932 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
929 933
930 934 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
931 935 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
932 936
933 937 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
934 938
935 939 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
936 940 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
937 941 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
938 942
939 943 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
940 944
941 945 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
942 946 to be installed alongside igrid.
943 947 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
944 948 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
945 949 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
946 950
947 951 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
948 952
949 953 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
950 954 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
951 955 Jorgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
952 956
953 957 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
954 958
955 959 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
956 960 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
957 961
958 962 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
959 963 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
960 964
961 965 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
962 966
963 967 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
964 968 as the default browser.
965 969 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
966 970 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
967 971 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
968 972 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
969 973
970 974 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
971 975
972 976 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
973 977 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
974 978 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
975 979
976 980 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
977 981
978 982 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
979 983 Close help window if exiting igrid.
980 984
981 985 2007-03-02 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
982 986
983 987 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
984 988 before calling functions from readline.
985 989
986 990 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
987 991
988 992 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
989 993 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
990 994 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
991 995 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
992 996 falls back to idump.
993 997
994 998 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
995 999
996 1000 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
997 1001 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
998 1002 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
999 1003 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
1000 1004
1001 1005 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1002 1006
1003 1007 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
1004 1008 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
1005 1009 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
1006 1010 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
1007 1011 %magic with explicit % prefix.
1008 1012
1009 1013 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1010 1014
1011 1015 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
1012 1016 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
1013 1017
1014 1018 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1015 1019
1016 1020 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
1017 1021 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
1018 1022 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
1019 1023 one wants those instead.
1020 1024
1021 1025 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
1022 1026 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
1023 1027 instead.
1024 1028
1025 1029 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1026 1030
1027 1031 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
1028 1032 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
1029 1033 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
1030 1034 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
1031 1035
1032 1036 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1033 1037
1034 1038 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
1035 1039 stop marks.
1036 1040 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
1037 1041 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
1038 1042 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
1039 1043
1040 1044 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1041 1045
1042 1046 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
1043 1047 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
1044 1048 sumbmitted to upstream.
1045 1049
1046 1050 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1047 1051
1048 1052 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
1049 1053 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
1050 1054 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
1051 1055 running into an empty levels list later.
1052 1056
1053 1057 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1054 1058
1055 1059 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
1056 1060 for the noitem object.
1057 1061
1058 1062 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1059 1063
1060 1064 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
1061 1065 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
1062 1066 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
1063 1067 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
1064 1068
1065 1069 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1066 1070
1067 1071 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
1068 1072 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
1069 1073 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
1070 1074 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
1071 1075 filenames.
1072 1076
1073 1077 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
1074 1078 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
1075 1079 out-of-process ipython code.
1076 1080
1077 1081 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
1078 1082 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
1079 1083 doctesting.
1080 1084
1081 1085 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
1082 1086
1083 1087 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1084 1088
1085 1089 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
1086 1090 not being correctly recognized.
1087 1091
1088 1092 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1089 1093
1090 1094 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
1091 1095 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
1092 1096 only item.
1093 1097
1094 1098 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
1095 1099 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
1096 1100 infinite recursion for one line strings).
1097 1101
1098 1102 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1099 1103
1100 1104 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
1101 1105 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
1102 1106 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
1103 1107
1104 1108 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1105 1109
1106 1110 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
1107 1111 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
1108 1112 "%env VISUAL=jed".
1109 1113
1110 1114 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1111 1115
1112 1116 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
1113 1117 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
1114 1118 but I'm not exactly sure why).
1115 1119
1116 1120 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
1117 1121 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
1118 1122
1119 1123 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1120 1124
1121 1125 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
1122 1126 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
1123 1127
1124 1128 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
1125 1129 the time during IPython startup is spent.
1126 1130
1127 1131 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1128 1132
1129 1133 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
1130 1134
1131 1135 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
1132 1136
1133 1137 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
1134 1138
1135 1139 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1136 1140
1137 1141 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
1138 1142 to work properly on posix too
1139 1143
1140 1144 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
1141 1145
1142 1146 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1143 1147
1144 1148 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
1145 1149 prefix + "/scripts".
1146 1150
1147 1151 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
1148 1152
1149 1153 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1150 1154
1151 1155 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
1152 1156 if they already exist
1153 1157
1154 1158 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
1155 1159
1156 1160 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1157 1161
1158 1162 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
1159 1163
1160 1164 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1161 1165
1162 1166 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
1163 1167 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
1164 1168 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
1165 1169
1166 1170 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1167 1171
1168 1172 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
1169 1173 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
1170 1174 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
1171 1175
1172 1176 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
1173 1177 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
1174 1178 in ipy_user_conf.py
1175 1179
1176 1180
1177 1181 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
1178 1182 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
1179 1183 as IPython script.
1180 1184
1181 1185 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
1182 1186
1183 1187 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1184 1188
1185 1189 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
1186 1190 is called before any exception has occurred.
1187 1191
1188 1192 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1189 1193
1190 1194 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
1191 1195 to translate /'s to \'s again.
1192 1196
1193 1197 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
1194 1198 backslash.
1195 1199
1196 1200 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
1197 1201
1198 1202 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1199 1203
1200 1204 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
1201 1205 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
1202 1206 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
1203 1207
1204 1208 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
1205 1209 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
1206 1210
1207 1211 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
1208 1212 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
1209 1213
1210 1214 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
1211 1215
1212 1216 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1213 1217
1214 1218 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
1215 1219 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
1216 1220
1217 1221 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1218 1222 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
1219 1223 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
1220 1224 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
1221 1225 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
1222 1226 mapped to "%" now.
1223 1227 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
1224 1228
1225 1229 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1226 1230
1227 1231 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
1228 1232 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
1229 1233 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
1230 1234 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
1231 1235
1232 1236 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1233 1237
1234 1238 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
1235 1239 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
1236 1240 for shell escapes.
1237 1241
1238 1242 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1239 1243
1240 1244 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
1241 1245 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
1242 1246 vcs_completer.
1243 1247
1244 1248 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1245 1249
1246 1250 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
1247 1251 directly instead!
1248 1252
1249 1253 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
1250 1254
1251 1255 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
1252 1256 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
1253 1257
1254 1258 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
1255 1259 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
1256 1260 explicit.
1257 1261
1258 1262 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
1259 1263 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
1260 1264
1261 1265 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
1262 1266
1263 1267 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
1264 1268
1265 1269 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1266 1270 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
1267 1271 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
1268 1272 implementation for Text is useless.
1269 1273
1270 1274 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
1271 1275
1272 1276 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
1273 1277
1274 1278 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1275 1279
1276 1280 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
1277 1281 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
1278 1282 "profile"
1279 1283
1280 1284 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1281 1285
1282 1286 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
1283 1287 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
1284 1288
1285 1289 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
1286 1290 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
1287 1291
1288 1292
1289 1293 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1290 1294 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
1291 1295 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
1292 1296
1293 1297 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1294 1298
1295 1299 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
1296 1300 with one from UserConfig.
1297 1301
1298 1302 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
1299 1303 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
1300 1304
1301 1305 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
1302 1306 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
1303 1307 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
1304 1308
1305 1309 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
1306 1310
1307 1311 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
1308 1312
1309 1313 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
1310 1314
1311 1315 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
1312 1316
1313 1317 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
1314 1318
1315 1319 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
1316 1320
1317 1321 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
1318 1322
1319 1323 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1320 1324
1321 1325 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
1322 1326 by eval of expr with dots.
1323 1327
1324 1328 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1325 1329
1326 1330 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
1327 1331 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
1328 1332 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
1329 1333 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
1330 1334 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
1331 1335 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
1332 1336
1333 1337 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1334 1338
1335 1339 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
1336 1340 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
1337 1341 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
1338 1342
1339 1343 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
1340 1344 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
1341 1345 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
1342 1346 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
1343 1347 funtionality in ipconfig.
1344 1348
1345 1349 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
1346 1350 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
1347 1351 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
1348 1352 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
1349 1353
1350 1354 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1351 1355
1352 1356 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
1353 1357 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
1354 1358 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
1355 1359 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
1356 1360 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
1357 1361 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
1358 1362 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
1359 1363 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
1360 1364 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
1361 1365 descriptors.
1362 1366
1363 1367 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
1364 1368 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
1365 1369
1366 1370 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
1367 1371 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
1368 1372
1369 1373 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
1370 1374
1371 1375 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
1372 1376
1373 1377 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1374 1378
1375 1379 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
1376 1380 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
1377 1381 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
1378 1382
1379 1383 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
1380 1384 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
1381 1385 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
1382 1386
1383 1387 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1384 1388 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
1385 1389 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
1386 1390 ipy_stock_completers.
1387 1391
1388 1392 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1389 1393
1390 1394 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
1391 1395
1392 1396 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
1393 1397 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
1394 1398 when filtering possible completions.
1395 1399
1396 1400 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
1397 1401
1398 1402 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
1399 1403 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
1400 1404 function
1401 1405
1402 1406
1403 1407 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1404 1408
1405 1409 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
1406 1410 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
1407 1411 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
1408 1412 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
1409 1413 SVN completer.
1410 1414
1411 1415 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
1412 1416 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
1413 1417 name is %led.
1414 1418
1415 1419 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1416 1420
1417 1421 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
1418 1422 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
1419 1423 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
1420 1424
1421 1425 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
1422 1426 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
1423 1427 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
1424 1428 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
1425 1429 hook name is 'complete_command'.
1426 1430
1427 1431 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1428 1432
1429 1433 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
1430 1434 Numeric leftovers.
1431 1435
1432 1436 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
1433 1437 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
1434 1438
1435 1439 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
1436 1440 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
1437 1441
1438 1442 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
1439 1443 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
1440 1444
1441 1445 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
1442 1446 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
1443 1447 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
1444 1448
1445 1449 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1446 1450
1447 1451 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
1448 1452 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
1449 1453 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
1450 1454
1451 1455 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
1452 1456 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
1453 1457
1454 1458 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1455 1459
1456 1460 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
1457 1461 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
1458 1462 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
1459 1463
1460 1464 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1461 1465
1462 1466 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
1463 1467 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
1464 1468 internal crash handler.
1465 1469
1466 1470 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
1467 1471 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
1468 1472 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
1469 1473 at the request of SAGE.
1470 1474
1471 1475 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1472 1476
1473 1477 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
1474 1478 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
1475 1479
1476 1480 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
1477 1481 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
1478 1482 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
1479 1483 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
1480 1484
1481 1485 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
1482 1486 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
1483 1487 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
1484 1488
1485 1489 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1486 1490
1487 1491 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
1488 1492 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
1489 1493 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
1490 1494
1491 1495 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
1492 1496 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
1493 1497
1494 1498 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1495 1499
1496 1500 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
1497 1501 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
1498 1502 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
1499 1503 Stefan.
1500 1504
1501 1505 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1502 1506
1503 1507 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
1504 1508 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
1505 1509 sys.stdout.close().
1506 1510
1507 1511 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1508 1512
1509 1513 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
1510 1514 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
1511 1515 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
1512 1516 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
1513 1517
1514 1518 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
1515 1519 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
1516 1520 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
1517 1521
1518 1522 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
1519 1523 2.5.
1520 1524
1521 1525 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
1522 1526 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
1523 1527 interactively.
1524 1528
1525 1529 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1526 1530
1527 1531 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
1528 1532 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
1529 1533
1530 1534 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1531 1535
1532 1536 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
1533 1537 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
1534 1538 or only files.
1535 1539
1536 1540 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1537 1541
1538 1542 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
1539 1543 they broke unittest
1540 1544
1541 1545 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1542 1546
1543 1547 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
1544 1548 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
1545 1549 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
1546 1550 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
1547 1551
1548 1552 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1549 1553
1550 1554 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
1551 1555 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
1552 1556 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
1553 1557 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
1554 1558 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
1555 1559
1556 1560 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1557 1561
1558 1562 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
1559 1563 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
1560 1564
1561 1565 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1562 1566
1563 1567 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1564 1568 the mode argument).
1565 1569
1566 1570 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1567 1571
1568 1572 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1569 1573 not running under IPython.
1570 1574
1571 1575 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1572 1576 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1573 1577 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1574 1578 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1575 1579 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1576 1580 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1577 1581 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1578 1582 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1579 1583 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1580 1584 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1581 1585 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1582 1586 are still supported.
1583 1587
1584 1588 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1585 1589 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1586 1590 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1587 1591 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1588 1592
1589 1593 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1590 1594 encoding into methods.
1591 1595
1592 1596 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1593 1597
1594 1598 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1595 1599 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1596 1600
1597 1601 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1598 1602
1599 1603 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1600 1604 non existing attributes.
1601 1605
1602 1606 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1603 1607
1604 1608 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1605 1609 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1606 1610
1607 1611 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1608 1612
1609 1613 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1610 1614 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1611 1615
1612 1616 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1613 1617
1614 1618 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1615 1619 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1616 1620 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1617 1621
1618 1622 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1619 1623
1620 1624 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1621 1625 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1622 1626 Stefan van der Walt.
1623 1627
1624 1628 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1625 1629
1626 1630 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1627 1631 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1628 1632
1629 1633 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1630 1634
1631 1635 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1632 1636 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1633 1637 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1634 1638
1635 1639 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1636 1640
1637 1641 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1638 1642 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1639 1643 attributes.
1640 1644
1641 1645 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1642 1646
1643 1647 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1644 1648 commands into the methods implementing them.
1645 1649
1646 1650 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1647 1651
1648 1652 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1649 1653 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1650 1654 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1651 1655
1652 1656 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1653 1657
1654 1658 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1655 1659 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1656 1660
1657 1661 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1658 1662
1659 1663 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1660 1664 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1661 1665
1662 1666 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1663 1667
1664 1668 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1665 1669 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1666 1670 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1667 1671 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1668 1672 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1669 1673 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1670 1674 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1671 1675 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1672 1676 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1673 1677 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1674 1678 the x key to "delete".
1675 1679
1676 1680 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1677 1681
1678 1682 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1679 1683 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1680 1684 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1681 1685 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1682 1686
1683 1687 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1684 1688 prompt
1685 1689
1686 1690 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1687 1691
1688 1692 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1689 1693
1690 1694 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1691 1695 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1692 1696 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1693 1697 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1694 1698
1695 1699 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1696 1700
1697 1701 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1698 1702 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1699 1703 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1700 1704 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1701 1705 doesn't work properly yet.
1702 1706
1703 1707 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1704 1708
1705 1709 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1706 1710 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1707 1711 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1708 1712
1709 1713 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1710 1714
1711 1715 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1712 1716 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1713 1717 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1714 1718 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1715 1719 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1716 1720 execute commands.
1717 1721
1718 1722 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1719 1723
1720 1724 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1721 1725 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1722 1726
1723 1727 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1724 1728
1725 1729 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1726 1730 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1727 1731
1728 1732 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1729 1733
1730 1734 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1731 1735 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1732 1736 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1733 1737
1734 1738 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1735 1739
1736 1740 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1737 1741
1738 1742 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1739 1743 Repo tagged and release cut.
1740 1744
1741 1745 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1742 1746
1743 1747 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1744 1748 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1745 1749
1746 1750 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1747 1751 (for %upgrade)
1748 1752
1749 1753 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1750 1754
1751 1755 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1752 1756 instead of looping 20 times.
1753 1757
1754 1758 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1755 1759 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1756 1760 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1757 1761
1758 1762 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1759 1763 testing for release on 06/06.
1760 1764
1761 1765 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1762 1766
1763 1767 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1764 1768 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1765 1769 live in people's PATH.
1766 1770
1767 1771 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1768 1772 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1769 1773 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1770 1774 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1771 1775 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1772 1776
1773 1777 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1774 1778 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1775 1779
1776 1780 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1777 1781
1778 1782 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1779 1783 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1780 1784
1781 1785 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1782 1786
1783 1787 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1784 1788 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1785 1789 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1786 1790
1787 1791 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1788 1792
1789 1793 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1790 1794 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1791 1795 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1792 1796 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1793 1797
1794 1798 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1795 1799 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1796 1800 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1797 1801 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1798 1802
1799 1803 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1800 1804 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1801 1805 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1802 1806 work.
1803 1807
1804 1808 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1805 1809
1806 1810 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1807 1811 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1808 1812
1809 1813 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1810 1814 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1811 1815 author William Stein.
1812 1816
1813 1817 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1814 1818 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1815 1819 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1816 1820 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1817 1821 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1818 1822 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1819 1823 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1820 1824 objects more easily.
1821 1825
1822 1826 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1823 1827
1824 1828 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1825 1829 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1826 1830 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1827 1831 by Jeffrey Collins.
1828 1832
1829 1833 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1830 1834 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1831 1835 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1832 1836 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1833 1837
1834 1838 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1835 1839 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1836 1840 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1837 1841 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1838 1842
1839 1843 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1840 1844 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1841 1845 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1842 1846 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1843 1847 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1844 1848 compatibility)
1845 1849
1846 1850 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1847 1851 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1848 1852 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1849 1853
1850 1854 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1851 1855 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1852 1856 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1853 1857 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1854 1858 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1855 1859
1856 1860 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1857 1861 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1858 1862 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1859 1863
1860 1864 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1861 1865 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1862 1866 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1863 1867 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1864 1868 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1865 1869 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1866 1870 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1867 1871
1868 1872 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1869 1873 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1870 1874 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1871 1875
1872 1876 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1873 1877 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1874 1878 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1875 1879
1876 1880 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1877 1881 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1878 1882
1879 1883 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1880 1884
1881 1885 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1882 1886 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1883 1887 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1884 1888 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1885 1889 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1886 1890 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1887 1891 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1888 1892 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1889 1893 while running under SAGE.
1890 1894
1891 1895 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1892 1896
1893 1897 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1894 1898 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1895 1899 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1896 1900 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1897 1901
1898 1902 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1899 1903
1900 1904 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1901 1905 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1902 1906 updated.
1903 1907
1904 1908 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1905 1909 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1906 1910 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1907 1911 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1908 1912 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1909 1913
1910 1914 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1911 1915 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1912 1916 so more testing is needed...
1913 1917
1914 1918 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1915 1919
1916 1920 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1917 1921 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1918 1922 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1919 1923 when doing complex debugging.
1920 1924 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1921 1925 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1922 1926 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1923 1927 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1924 1928
1925 1929 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1926 1930
1927 1931 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1928 1932 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1929 1933 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1930 1934 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1931 1935
1932 1936 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1933 1937
1934 1938 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1935 1939 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1936 1940
1937 1941 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1938 1942
1939 1943 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1940 1944 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1941 1945 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1942 1946 been the one to acquire it.
1943 1947
1944 1948 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1945 1949
1946 1950 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1947 1951
1948 1952 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1949 1953
1950 1954 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1951 1955 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1952 1956 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1953 1957
1954 1958 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1955 1959 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1956 1960 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1957 1961 properly flush the output cache.
1958 1962
1959 1963 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1960 1964 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1961 1965
1962 1966 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1963 1967
1964 1968 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1965 1969 are quoted
1966 1970
1967 1971 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1968 1972
1969 1973 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1970 1974 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1971 1975
1972 1976 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1973 1977 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1974 1978
1975 1979 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1976 1980
1977 1981 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1978 1982 %upgrade magic
1979 1983
1980 1984 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1981 1985
1982 1986 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1983 1987 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1984 1988 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1985 1989
1986 1990 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1987 1991
1988 1992 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1989 1993 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1990 1994
1991 1995 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1992 1996 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1993 1997 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1994 1998 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1995 1999 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1996 2000
1997 2001 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1998 2002
1999 2003 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
2000 2004 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
2001 2005
2002 2006 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2003 2007
2004 2008 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
2005 2009 Torsten Marek.
2006 2010
2007 2011 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2008 2012
2009 2013 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
2010 2014 line ranges works again.
2011 2015
2012 2016 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2013 2017
2014 2018 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
2015 2019 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
2016 2020 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
2017 2021 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
2018 2022 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
2019 2023
2020 2024 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
2021 2025 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
2022 2026 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
2023 2027 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
2024 2028 more.
2025 2029
2026 2030 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2027 2031
2028 2032 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
2029 2033 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
2030 2034
2031 2035 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2032 2036
2033 2037 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
2034 2038 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
2035 2039
2036 2040 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2037 2041
2038 2042 * Magic.py: %save works again.
2039 2043
2040 2044 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2041 2045
2042 2046 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
2043 2047
2044 2048 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
2045 2049 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
2046 2050 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
2047 2051
2048 2052 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2049 2053
2050 2054 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
2051 2055 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
2052 2056 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
2053 2057 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
2054 2058
2055 2059 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
2056 2060 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
2057 2061
2058 2062 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
2059 2063 contributed by marienz to close
2060 2064 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
2061 2065
2062 2066 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2063 2067
2064 2068 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
2065 2069
2066 2070 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
2067 2071 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
2068 2072 nonsense.
2069 2073
2070 2074 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2071 2075
2072 2076 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
2073 2077 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
2074 2078
2075 2079 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
2076 2080
2077 2081 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2078 2082
2079 2083 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
2080 2084 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
2081 2085
2082 2086 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2083 2087
2084 2088 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
2085 2089 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
2086 2090 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
2087 2091 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
2088 2092 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
2089 2093 SAGE team.
2090 2094 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
2091 2095 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
2092 2096
2093 2097 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
2094 2098 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
2095 2099 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
2096 2100 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
2097 2101 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
2098 2102
2099 2103 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2100 2104
2101 2105 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
2102 2106 correctly now (on Linux)
2103 2107
2104 2108 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
2105 2109 warnings
2106 2110
2107 2111 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
2108 2112
2109 2113 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
2110 2114
2111 2115
2112 2116 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2113 2117
2114 2118 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
2115 2119 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
2116 2120 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
2117 2121 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
2118 2122 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
2119 2123 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
2120 2124 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
2121 2125 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
2122 2126
2123 2127 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
2124 2128
2125 2129 * aliases can now be %store'd
2126 2130
2127 2131 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
2128 2132 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
2129 2133 at __init__.
2130 2134
2131 2135 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
2132 2136 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
2133 2137
2134 2138 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2135 2139
2136 2140 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
2137 2141 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
2138 2142 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
2139 2143
2140 2144 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2141 2145
2142 2146 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
2143 2147
2144 2148 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2145 2149
2146 2150 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
2147 2151 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
2148 2152 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
2149 2153 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
2150 2154
2151 2155 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
2152 2156 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
2153 2157
2154 2158 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2155 2159
2156 2160 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
2157 2161 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
2158 2162 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
2159 2163 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
2160 2164
2161 2165 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
2162 2166 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
2163 2167 usage.
2164 2168
2165 2169 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
2166 2170 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
2167 2171 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
2168 2172
2169 2173 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
2170 2174
2171 2175 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
2172 2176 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
2173 2177
2174 2178 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
2175 2179 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
2176 2180 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
2177 2181
2178 2182 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
2179 2183
2180 2184 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
2181 2185
2182 2186 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
2183 2187
2184 2188 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
2185 2189 are now more helpful:
2186 2190 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
2187 2191
2188 2192 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2189 2193
2190 2194 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
2191 2195 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
2192 2196
2193 2197 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2194 2198
2195 2199 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
2196 2200 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
2197 2201
2198 2202 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
2199 2203 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
2200 2204 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
2201 2205
2202 2206 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
2203 2207
2204 2208
2205 2209 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2206 2210
2207 2211 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
2208 2212 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
2209 2213
2210 2214 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
2211 2215
2212 2216 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
2213 2217 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
2214 2218 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
2215 2219 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
2216 2220 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
2217 2221 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
2218 2222
2219 2223 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2220 2224
2221 2225 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2222 2226 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2223 2227 \python24\scripts).
2224 2228
2225 2229 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2226 2230 egg.
2227 2231
2228 2232 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2229 2233
2230 2234 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
2231 2235
2232 2236 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2233 2237
2234 2238 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
2235 2239
2236 2240 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2237 2241
2238 2242 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2239 2243 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2240 2244 \python24\scripts).
2241 2245
2242 2246 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2243 2247 egg.
2244 2248
2245 2249 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2246 2250
2247 2251 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
2248 2252 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
2249 2253 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
2250 2254
2251 2255 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
2252 2256 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
2253 2257 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
2254 2258 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
2255 2259
2256 2260 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
2257 2261 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
2258 2262 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
2259 2263 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
2260 2264 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
2261 2265 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
2262 2266 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
2263 2267 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
2264 2268 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
2265 2269 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
2266 2270 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
2267 2271 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
2268 2272
2269 2273 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2270 2274
2271 2275 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
2272 2276 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
2273 2277 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
2274 2278 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
2275 2279
2276 2280 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2277 2281
2278 2282 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
2279 2283 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
2280 2284 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
2281 2285 importing extensions easy.
2282 2286
2283 2287 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
2284 2288 classes / instances of those classes.
2285 2289
2286 2290 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
2287 2291 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
2288 2292 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
2289 2293 the user.
2290 2294
2291 2295 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
2292 2296 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
2293 2297 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
2294 2298
2295 2299 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2296 2300
2297 2301 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
2298 2302 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
2299 2303 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
2300 2304 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
2301 2305 others may also catch any problems. Also made
2302 2306 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
2303 2307 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
2304 2308 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
2305 2309 the method.
2306 2310
2307 2311 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2308 2312
2309 2313 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
2310 2314 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
2311 2315
2312 2316 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2313 2317
2314 2318 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
2315 2319 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
2316 2320 Vivian.
2317 2321
2318 2322 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
2319 2323 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
2320 2324 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
2321 2325 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
2322 2326 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
2323 2327
2324 2328 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2325 2329
2326 2330 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
2327 2331 that returns file contents on exit.
2328 2332
2329 2333 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
2330 2334 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
2331 2335 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
2332 2336 sc files=ls
2333 2337 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
2334 2338 print p,p.mtime
2335 2339
2336 2340 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
2337 2341 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
2338 2342 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
2339 2343 instead of syntax error.
2340 2344
2341 2345
2342 2346 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2343 2347
2344 2348 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
2345 2349 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
2346 2350 data.
2347 2351
2348 2352 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
2349 2353 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
2350 2354 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
2351 2355 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
2352 2356
2353 2357 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
2354 2358 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
2355 2359 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
2356 2360 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
2357 2361 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
2358 2362 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
2359 2363
2360 2364 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2361 2365
2362 2366 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
2363 2367 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
2364 2368 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
2365 2369 current dir.
2366 2370
2367 2371 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
2368 2372 had to create new files.
2369 2373
2370 2374 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
2371 2375 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
2372 2376 future.
2373 2377
2374 2378 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
2375 2379 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
2376 2380 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
2377 2381
2378 2382
2379 2383 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2380 2384
2381 2385 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
2382 2386 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
2383 2387 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
2384 2388 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
2385 2389 later.
2386 2390
2387 2391 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
2388 2392 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
2389 2393
2390 2394 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2391 2395
2392 2396 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
2393 2397 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
2394 2398 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
2395 2399 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
2396 2400 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
2397 2401 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
2398 2402
2399 2403 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2400 2404
2401 2405 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
2402 2406 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
2403 2407 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
2404 2408 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
2405 2409 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
2406 2410 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
2407 2411 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
2408 2412 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
2409 2413 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
2410 2414 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
2411 2415
2412 2416 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
2413 2417 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
2414 2418 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
2415 2419 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
2416 2420
2417 2421 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
2418 2422 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
2419 2423 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
2420 2424 "setup.py install" between changes).
2421 2425
2422 2426 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
2423 2427 if 1:
2424 2428 !ls
2425 2429 !!ls
2426 2430
2427 2431 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2428 2432
2429 2433 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
2430 2434 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
2431 2435 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
2432 2436 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
2433 2437
2434 2438 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
2435 2439 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
2436 2440 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
2437 2441
2438 2442 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2439 2443
2440 2444 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
2441 2445 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
2442 2446 win32.
2443 2447
2444 2448 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
2445 2449
2446 2450 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2447 2451
2448 2452 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
2449 2453 ready for release.
2450 2454
2451 2455 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
2452 2456 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
2453 2457 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
2454 2458 where to copy the info from.
2455 2459
2456 2460 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2457 2461
2458 2462 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
2459 2463 support in the release tools as well.
2460 2464
2461 2465 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2462 2466
2463 2467 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
2464 2468 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
2465 2469 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
2466 2470 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
2467 2471
2468 2472 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2469 2473 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
2470 2474 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
2471 2475
2472 2476 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
2473 2477 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
2474 2478
2475 2479 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
2476 2480 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
2477 2481 printer not to work.
2478 2482
2479 2483 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2480 2484
2481 2485 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes

2483 2487
2484 2488 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2485 2489
2486 2490 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
2487 2491 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
2488 2492 Moad for help with tracking it down.
2489 2493
2490 2494 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
2491 2495 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
2492 2496 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
2493 2497
2494 2498 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
2495 2499 Ville's patch.
2496 2500
2497 2501 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2498 2502
2499 2503 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
2500 2504 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
2501 2505 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
2502 2506 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
2503 2507 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
2504 2508 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
2505 2509 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
2506 2510
2507 2511 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
2508 2512 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
2509 2513 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
2510 2514
2511 2515 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2512 2516
2513 2517 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
2514 2518 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
2515 2519
2516 2520 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
2517 2521 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
2518 2522 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
2519 2523 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
2520 2524 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
2521 2525 twister).
2522 2526
2523 2527 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
2524 2528 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
2525 2529 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
2526 2530
2527 2531 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
2528 2532 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
2529 2533 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
2530 2534 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
2531 2535 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
2532 2536 something inside the dis module.
2533 2537
2534 2538 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2535 2539
2536 2540 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
2537 2541 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
2538 2542 follows the discussion in
2539 2543 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
2540 2544
2541 2545 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
2542 2546 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
2543 2547 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
2544 2548
2545 2549 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
2546 2550 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
2547 2551 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
2548 2552
2549 2553 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
2550 2554 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
2551 2555 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
2552 2556 speed up this routine.
2553 2557
2554 2558 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
2555 2559 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
2556 2560 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
2557 2561 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
2558 2562 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
2559 2563 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
2560 2564 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
2561 2565 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
2562 2566
2563 2567 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2564 2568 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2565 2569 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2566 2570
2567 2571 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2568 2572 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2569 2573 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2570 2574 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2571 2575 setters don't do anything).
2572 2576
2573 2577 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2574 2578
2575 2579 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2576 2580 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2577 2581 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2578 2582 falling out of sync...)
2579 2583
2580 2584 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2581 2585 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2582 2586 as loops).
2583 2587
2584 2588 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2585 2589 win32 system access.
2586 2590
2587 2591 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2588 2592
2589 2593 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2590 2594 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2591 2595 thread-safe.
2592 2596 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2593 2597 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2594 2598 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2595 2599 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2596 2600 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2597 2601 can still happen.
2598 2602 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2599 2603 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2600 2604 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2601 2605 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2602 2606 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2603 2607 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2604 2608 cleanly.
2605 2609
2606 2610 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2607 2611 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2608 2612 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2609 2613 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2610 2614 users' persisted data.
2611 2615
2612 2616 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2613 2617 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2614 2618 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2615 2619 multiline input (such as macros).
2616 2620
2617 2621 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2618 2622 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2619 2623 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2620 2624 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2621 2625 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2622 2626 informative).
2623 2627
2624 2628 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2625 2629 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2626 2630
2627 2631 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2628 2632 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2629 2633 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2630 2634
2631 2635 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2632 2636 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2633 2637 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2634 2638 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2635 2639 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2636 2640 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2637 2641 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2638 2642 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2639 2643 details.
2640 2644
2641 2645 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2642 2646 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2643 2647 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2644 2648 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2645 2649 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2646 2650
2647 2651 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2648 2652 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2649 2653 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2650 2654 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2651 2655 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2652 2656
2653 2657 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2654 2658 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2655 2659 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2656 2660 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2657 2661 options to %logstart. Closes
2658 2662 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2659 2663 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2660 2664
2661 2665 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2662 2666
2663 2667 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2664 2668 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2665 2669 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2666 2670 list:
2667 2671 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2668 2672
2669 2673 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2670 2674
2671 2675 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2672 2676 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2673 2677 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2674 2678 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2675 2679
2676 2680 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2677 2681 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2678 2682 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2679 2683 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2680 2684 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2681 2685
2682 2686 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2683 2687 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2684 2688 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2685 2689 true by default.
2686 2690
2687 2691 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2688 2692 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2689 2693 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2690 2694 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2691 2695
2692 2696 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2693 2697
2694 2698 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2695 2699 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2696 2700 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2697 2701 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2698 2702 version committed).
2699 2703
2700 2704 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2701 2705 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2702 2706 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2703 2707 discussion on the user list.
2704 2708
2705 2709 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2706 2710 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2707 2711 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2708 2712 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2709 2713
2710 2714 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2711 2715
2712 2716 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2713 2717 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2714 2718 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2715 2719
2716 2720 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2717 2721 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2718 2722 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2719 2723
2720 2724 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2721 2725 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2722 2726 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2723 2727 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2724 2728 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2725 2729 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2726 2730 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2727 2731 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2728 2732 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2729 2733 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2730 2734 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2731 2735 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2732 2736 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2733 2737 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2734 2738 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2735 2739 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2736 2740 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2737 2741 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2738 2742 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2739 2743 branch refactoring.
2740 2744
2741 2745 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2742 2746
2743 2747 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2744 2748 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2745 2749
2746 2750 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2747 2751 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2748 2752 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2749 2753 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2750 2754 worked correctly).
2751 2755
2752 2756 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2753 2757 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2754 2758 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2755 2759
2756 2760 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2757 2761
2758 2762 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2759 2763 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2760 2764 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2761 2765 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2762 2766 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2763 2767 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2764 2768 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2765 2769 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2766 2770
2767 2771 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2768 2772
2769 2773 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2770 2774 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2771 2775 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2772 2776 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2773 2777 on this.
2774 2778
2775 2779 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2776 2780
2777 2781 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2778 2782 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2779 2783 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2780 2784 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2781 2785 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2782 2786
2783 2787 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2784 2788
2785 2789 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2786 2790 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2787 2791 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2788 2792 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2789 2793
2790 2794 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2791 2795
2792 2796 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2793 2797 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2794 2798 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2795 2799
2796 2800 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2797 2801
2798 2802 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2799 2803 startup time.
2800 2804
2801 2805 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2802 2806 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2803 2807 it's working in all cases.
2804 2808
2805 2809 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2806 2810 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2807 2811 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2808 2812 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2809 2813 per-search basis.
2810 2814
2811 2815 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2812 2816
2813 2817 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2814 2818 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2815 2819 of a patch by Jorgen.
2816 2820
2817 2821 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2818 2822
2819 2823 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2820 2824 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2821 2825 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2822 2826
2823 2827 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2824 2828
2825 2829 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2826 2830 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2827 2831 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2828 2832 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2829 2833
2830 2834 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2831 2835
2832 2836 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2833 2837 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2834 2838 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2835 2839 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2836 2840 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2837 2841 implementing this functionality.

2840 2844
2841 2845 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2842 2846 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2843 2847 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2844 2848 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2845 2849 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2846 2850 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2847 2851 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2848 2852
2849 2853 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2850 2854
2851 2855 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2852 2856 reported by Stephen Walton.
2853 2857
2854 2858 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2855 2859
2856 2860 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2857 2861
2858 2862 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2859 2863 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2860 2864
2861 2865 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2862 2866
2863 2867 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2864 2868 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2865 2869
2866 2870 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2867 2871 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2868 2872
2869 2873 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2870 2874
2871 2875 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2872 2876 finishing.
2873 2877
2874 2878 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2875 2879 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2876 2880
2877 2881 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2878 2882 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2879 2883 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2880 2884
2881 2885 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2882 2886 code, handy in general.
2883 2887
2884 2888 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2885 2889 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2886 2890 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2887 2891
2888 2892 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2889 2893
2890 2894 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2891 2895 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2892 2896 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2893 2897 testing, though.
2894 2898 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2895 2899 like this before...
2896 2900
2897 2901 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2898 2902 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2899 2903
2900 2904 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2901 2905 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2902 2906
2903 2907 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2904 2908
2905 2909 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2906 2910 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2907 2911 F. Mantegazza.
2908 2912
2909 2913 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2910 2914
2911 2915 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2912 2916 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2913 2917 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2914 2918
2915 2919 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2916 2920 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2917 2921 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2918 2922 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2919 2923 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2920 2924 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2921 2925
2922 2926 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2923 2927
2924 2928 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2925 2929 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2926 2930 beyond readline-based environments.
2927 2931
2928 2932 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2929 2933
2930 2934 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2931 2935
2932 2936 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2933 2937 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2934 2938 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2935 2939 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2936 2940 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2937 2941
2938 2942 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2939 2943
2940 2944 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2941 2945 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2942 2946 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2943 2947
2944 2948 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2945 2949
2946 2950 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2947 2951
2948 2952 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2949 2953
2950 2954 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2951 2955 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2952 2956 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2953 2957 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2954 2958 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2955 2959 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2956 2960
2957 2961 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2958 2962
2959 2963 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2960 2964
2961 2965 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2962 2966
2963 2967 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2964 2968 invalid $HOME under win32.
2965 2969
2966 2970 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2967 2971
2968 2972 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2969 2973 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2970 2974 simpler and a bit faster.
2971 2975
2972 2976 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2973 2977 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2974 2978 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2975 2979 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2976 2980 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2977 2981
2978 2982 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2979 2983 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2980 2984 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2981 2985
2982 2986 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2983 2987 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2984 2988
2985 2989 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2986 2990 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2987 2991 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2988 2992 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2989 2993 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2990 2994 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2991 2995 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2992 2996
2993 2997 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2994 2998
2995 2999 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2996 3000
2997 3001 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2998 3002
2999 3003 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
3000 3004 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
3001 3005
3002 3006 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3003 3007
3004 3008 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
3005 3009 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
3006 3010 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
3007 3011 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
3008 3012 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
3009 3013 for the contribution.
3010 3014
3011 3015 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
3012 3016 slightly modified version of the patch in
3013 3017 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
3014 3018 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
3015 3019 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
3016 3020
3017 3021 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3018 3022
3019 3023 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
3020 3024 I/O a bit more.
3021 3025
3022 3026 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
3023 3027 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
3024 3028
3025 3029 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
3026 3030
3027 3031 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3028 3032
3029 3033 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
3030 3034 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
3031 3035 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
3032 3036 readline delimiters configuration to read:
3033 3037
3034 3038 readline_remove_delims -/~
3035 3039
3036 3040
3037 3041 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
3038 3042
3039 3043 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3040 3044
3041 3045 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
3042 3046 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
3043 3047 <eli@gondolin.net>
3044 3048
3045 3049 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3046 3050
3047 3051 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
3048 3052 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
3049 3053
3050 3054 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3051 3055
3052 3056 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
3053 3057 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
3054 3058 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
3055 3059
3056 3060 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3057 3061
3058 3062 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
3059 3063 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
3060 3064
3061 3065 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3062 3066
3063 3067 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
3064 3068 to usage page (invoked with --help).
3065 3069
3066 3070 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
3067 3071 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
3068 3072 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
3069 3073 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
3070 3074 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
3071 3075 for more details.
3072 3076
3073 3077 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
3074 3078 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
3075 3079 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
3076 3080 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
3077 3081
3078 3082 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3079 3083
3080 3084 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
3081 3085 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
3082 3086 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
3083 3087 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
3084 3088 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
3085 3089
3086 3090 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
3087 3091 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
3088 3092 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
3089 3093
3090 3094 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3091 3095
3092 3096 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
3093 3097
3094 3098 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3095 3099
3096 3100 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
3097 3101 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
3098 3102 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
3099 3103 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
3100 3104 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
3101 3105
3102 3106 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
3103 3107
3104 3108 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3105 3109
3106 3110 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
3107 3111 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
3108 3112 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
3109 3113 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
3110 3114 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
3111 3115
3112 3116 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
3113 3117 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
3114 3118 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
3115 3119 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
3116 3120 take the text parameter.
3117 3121
3118 3122 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
3119 3123 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
3120 3124 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
3121 3125 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
3122 3126 pysh profile to include the line
3123 3127
3124 3128 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
3125 3129
3126 3130 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
3127 3131 delete pysh.py and the line
3128 3132
3129 3133 execfile pysh.py
3130 3134
3131 3135 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
3132 3136
3133 3137 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
3134 3138 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
3135 3139 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
3136 3140 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
3137 3141 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
3138 3142
3139 3143 * pysh.py:
3140 3144
3141 3145 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3142 3146
3143 3147 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
3144 3148 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
3145 3149 want it can still turn it off.
3146 3150
3147 3151 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
3148 3152 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
3149 3153 off by default.
3150 3154
3151 3155 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
3152 3156 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
3153 3157 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
3154 3158 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
3155 3159 calls.
3156 3160
3157 3161 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3158 3162
3159 3163 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
3160 3164 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
3161 3165 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
3162 3166
3163 3167 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3164 3168
3165 3169 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
3166 3170 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
3167 3171 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
3168 3172 (including 0) after the ':' character.
3169 3173
3170 3174 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
3171 3175 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
3172 3176 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
3173 3177 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
3174 3178
3175 3179 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3176 3180
3177 3181 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
3178 3182 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
3179 3183
3180 3184 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
3181 3185 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
3182 3186 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
3183 3187 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
3184 3188 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
3185 3189 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
3186 3190 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a

3190 3194
3191 3195 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
3192 3196 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
3193 3197 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
3194 3198 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
3195 3199 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3196 3200 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3197 3201 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
3198 3202 add new completers at runtime.
3199 3203
3200 3204 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3201 3205
3202 3206 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
3203 3207 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
3204 3208 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
3205 3209 ? system.
3206 3210
3207 3211 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
3208 3212 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
3209 3213 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
3210 3214 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
3211 3215 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
3212 3216 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
3213 3217 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
3214 3218 conveninent, so not all is lost.
3215 3219
3216 3220 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
3217 3221
3218 3222 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
3219 3223 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
3220 3224 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
3221 3225 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3222 3226 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3223 3227
3224 3228 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
3225 3229 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
3226 3230 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
3227 3231 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
3228 3232 add:
3229 3233
3230 3234 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
3231 3235 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
3232 3236
3233 3237 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3234 3238
3235 3239 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
3236 3240 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
3237 3241 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
3238 3242 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
3239 3243
3240 3244 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
3241 3245 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
3242 3246 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
3243 3247 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
3244 3248 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
3245 3249 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
3246 3250 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
3247 3251 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
3248 3252 further, simply bind them to any other name.
3249 3253
3250 3254 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3251 3255
3252 3256 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
3253 3257 prompt namespace handling.
3254 3258
3255 3259 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3256 3260
3257 3261 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
3258 3262 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
3259 3263 trips the emacs python mode).
3260 3264 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
3261 3265 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
3262 3266 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
3263 3267 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
3264 3268 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
3265 3269 calls will be made at runtime.
3266 3270
3267 3271 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3268 3272
3269 3273 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
3270 3274 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
3271 3275 the call to %history.
3272 3276
3273 3277 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
3274 3278
3275 3279 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3276 3280
3277 3281 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
3278 3282 ipmagic() function calls.
3279 3283
3280 3284 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
3281 3285 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
3282 3286
3283 3287 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3284 3288
3285 3289 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
3286 3290 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
3287 3291 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
3288 3292 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
3289 3293 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
3290 3294 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
3291 3295 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
3292 3296 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
3293 3297
3294 3298 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3295 3299
3296 3300 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
3297 3301 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
3298 3302 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
3299 3303 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
3300 3304 Ville Vainio.
3301 3305
3302 3306 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3303 3307
3304 3308 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
3305 3309 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
3306 3310 define the ones they personally like.
3307 3311
3308 3312 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3309 3313
3310 3314 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
3311 3315 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
3312 3316
3313 3317 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3314 3318
3315 3319 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
3316 3320 into keys (for prompts, for example).
3317 3321
3318 3322 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
3319 3323 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
3320 3324 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
3321 3325 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
3322 3326 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
3323 3327 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
3324 3328 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
3325 3329 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
3326 3330
3327 3331 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
3328 3332 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
3329 3333 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
3330 3334 modified version of the original Debian patch at
3331 3335 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
3332 3336
3333 3337 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3334 3338
3335 3339 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
3336 3340 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
3337 3341 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
3338 3342
3339 3343 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
3340 3344 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
3341 3345 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
3342 3346
3343 3347 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
3344 3348
3345 3349 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3346 3350
3347 3351 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
3348 3352 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
3349 3353 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
3350 3354 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
3351 3355 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
3352 3356 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
3353 3357 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
3354 3358 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
3355 3359 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
3356 3360 system is a separate implementation).
3357 3361
3358 3362 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
3359 3363 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
3360 3364 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
3361 3365 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
3362 3366 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
3363 3367 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
3364 3368 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
3365 3369 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
3366 3370 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
3367 3371 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
3368 3372 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
3369 3373
3370 3374 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3371 3375
3372 3376 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
3373 3377 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
3374 3378 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
3375 3379 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
3376 3380 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
3377 3381 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
3378 3382 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
3379 3383 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
3380 3384
3381 3385 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3382 3386
3383 3387 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
3384 3388 previous call produced a syntax error.
3385 3389
3386 3390 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3387 3391 classes without constructor.
3388 3392
3389 3393 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3390 3394
3391 3395 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
3392 3396 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
3393 3397 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
3394 3398 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
3395 3399 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
3396 3400 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
3397 3401 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

3399 3403 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3400 3404
3401 3405 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
3402 3406 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
3403 3407
3404 3408 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3405 3409
3406 3410 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
3407 3411 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
3408 3412 optimizations.
3409 3413
3410 3414 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
3411 3415 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
3412 3416
3413 3417 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3414 3418
3415 3419 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
3416 3420 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
3417 3421 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
3418 3422 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
3419 3423 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
3420 3424 avoid annoying the lists further.
3421 3425

3424 3428 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3425 3429
3426 3430 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
3427 3431 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
3428 3432 norm definitions.
3429 3433 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
3430 3434 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
3431 3435 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
3432 3436
3433 3437 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
3434 3438 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
3435 3439 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
3436 3440 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
3437 3441 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
3438 3442
3439 3443 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
3440 3444 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
3441 3445 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
3442 3446 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
3443 3447
3444 3448 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
3445 3449 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
3446 3450 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
3447 3451 fixes.
3448 3452
3449 3453 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
3450 3454 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
3451 3455 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
3452 3456 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
3453 3457 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
3454 3458 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
3455 3459 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

3459 3463 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3460 3464
3461 3465 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
3462 3466 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
3463 3467 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
3464 3468 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
3465 3469 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
3466 3470 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
3467 3471 Panel.
3468 3472
3469 3473 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
3470 3474 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
3471 3475 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
3472 3476 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
3473 3477 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
3474 3478
3475 3479 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3476 3480
3477 3481 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
3478 3482 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
3479 3483
3480 3484 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8

3482 3486 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3483 3487
3484 3488 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
3485 3489 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
3486 3490 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
3487 3491 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
3488 3492 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
3489 3493 python shell.
3490 3494
3491 3495 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
3492 3496 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
3493 3497 on assignments. This closes
3494 3498 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
3495 3499 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
3496 3500 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.

3498 3502 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3499 3503
3500 3504 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
3501 3505 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.

3510 3514 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3511 3515
3512 3516 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3513 3517 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
3514 3518 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.

3517 3521
3518 3522 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
3519 3523 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
3520 3524 'parent' object were present on the same line.

3522 3526 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3523 3527
3524 3528 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
3525 3529 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
3526 3530 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
3527 3531
3528 3532 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
3529 3533 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
3530 3534 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
3531 3535

3537 3541 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3538 3542
3539 3543 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
3540 3544 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
3541 3545 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
3542 3546
3543 3547 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3544 3548
3545 3549 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
3546 3550 reported by Prabhu.
3547 3551 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
3548 3552 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
3549 3553 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
3550 3554
3551 3555 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
3552 3556 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
3553 3557
3554 3558 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
3555 3559 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
3556 3560 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
3557 3561 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
3558 3562 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
3559 3563 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
3560 3564
3561 3565 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
3562 3566
3563 3567 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3564 3568
3565 3569 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3566 3570 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3567 3571 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3568 3572 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3569 3573
3570 3574 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3571 3575 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3572 3576
3573 3577 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3574 3578 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3575 3579 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3576 3580 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3577 3581 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3578 3582 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3579 3583 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3580 3584
3581 3585 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3582 3586 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3583 3587 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3584 3588
3585 3589 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3586 3590 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3587 3591 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3588 3592 before.
3589 3593
3590 3594 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3591 3595
3592 3596 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3593 3597 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3594 3598 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3595 3599 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3596 3600
3597 3601 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3598 3602 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3599 3603 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3600 3604 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3601 3605 timing very short-running code.
3602 3606
3603 3607 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3604 3608 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3605 3609 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3606 3610 utility.
3607 3611
3608 3612 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3609 3613 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3610 3614 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3611 3615 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3612 3616 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3613 3617 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3614 3618 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3615 3619 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3616 3620
3617 3621 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3618 3622 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3619 3623 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3620 3624
3621 3625 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3622 3626 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3623 3627 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3624 3628 is for).
3625 3629
3626 3630 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3627 3631 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3628 3632 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3629 3633 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3630 3634 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3631 3635
3632 3636 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3633 3637
3634 3638 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3635 3639 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3636 3640 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3637 3641 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3638 3642 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3639 3643
3640 3644 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3641 3645 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3642 3646 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3643 3647 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3644 3648 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3645 3649 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3646 3650
3647 3651 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3648 3652
3649 3653 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3650 3654 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3651 3655
3652 3656 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3653 3657
3654 3658 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3655 3659 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3656 3660 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3657 3661 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3658 3662
3659 3663 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3660 3664
3661 3665 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3662 3666
3663 3667 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3664 3668 setting with -d option.
3665 3669
3666 3670 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3667 3671 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3668 3672 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3669 3673 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3670 3674
3671 3675 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3672 3676
3673 3677 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3674 3678 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3675 3679
3676 3680 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3677 3681 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3678 3682 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3679 3683 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3680 3684 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3681 3685 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3682 3686 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3683 3687 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3684 3688 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3685 3689 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3686 3690 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3687 3691
3688 3692 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3689 3693
3690 3694 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3691 3695 cache when empty lines were present.
3692 3696
3693 3697 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3694 3698
3695 3699 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3696 3700 options for WX and GTK.
3697 3701
3698 3702 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3699 3703
3700 3704 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3701 3705 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3702 3706 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3703 3707 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3704 3708 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3705 3709 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3706 3710 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3707 3711
3708 3712 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3709 3713 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3710 3714
3711 3715 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3712 3716
3713 3717 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3714 3718 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3715 3719 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3716 3720 many thanks.
3717 3721
3718 3722 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3719 3723 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3720 3724 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3721 3725
3722 3726 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3723 3727
3724 3728 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3725 3729 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3726 3730 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3727 3731
3728 3732 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3729 3733
3730 3734 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3731 3735
3732 3736 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3733 3737 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3734 3738 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3735 3739
3736 3740 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3737 3741
3738 3742 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3739 3743 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3740 3744
3741 3745 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3742 3746
3743 3747 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3744 3748 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3745 3749 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3746 3750 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3747 3751 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3748 3752 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3749 3753 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3750 3754
3751 3755 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3752 3756
3753 3757 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3754 3758 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3755 3759 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3756 3760 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3757 3761
3758 3762 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3759 3763 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3760 3764
3761 3765 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3762 3766
3763 3767 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3764 3768 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3765 3769
3766 3770 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3767 3771 use throughout ipython.
3768 3772
3769 3773 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3770 3774 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3771 3775
3772 3776 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3773 3777 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3774 3778 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3775 3779 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3776 3780
3777 3781 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3778 3782
3779 3783 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3780 3784 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3781 3785 report by Francesc Alted.
3782 3786
3783 3787 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3784 3788
3785 3789 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3786 3790 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3787 3791
3788 3792 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3789 3793
3790 3794 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3791 3795 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3792 3796 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3793 3797 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3794 3798 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3795 3799 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3796 3800 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3797 3801 correctly set.
3798 3802
3799 3803 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3800 3804
3801 3805 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3802 3806 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3803 3807 import requirement of PEP-328.
3804 3808
3805 3809 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3806 3810 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3807 3811 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3808 3812 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3809 3813
3810 3814 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3811 3815
3812 3816 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3813 3817
3814 3818 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3815 3819 via a normal python function call.
3816 3820
3817 3821 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3818 3822 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3819 3823 2.4.
3820 3824
3821 3825 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3822 3826
3823 3827 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3824 3828 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3825 3829 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3826 3830 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3827 3831 is given to the user).
3828 3832
3829 3833 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3830 3834
3831 3835 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3832 3836 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3833 3837 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3834 3838 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3835 3839
3836 3840 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3837 3841 python 2.2.
3838 3842
3839 3843 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3840 3844 banner arg for embedded customization.
3841 3845
3842 3846 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3843 3847 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3844 3848 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3845 3849 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3846 3850 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3847 3851 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3848 3852
3849 3853 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3850 3854 minor changes to debian dir.
3851 3855
3852 3856 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3853 3857 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3854 3858 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3855 3859 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3856 3860
3857 3861 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3858 3862
3859 3863 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3860 3864 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3861 3865 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3862 3866 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3863 3867 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3864 3868
3865 3869 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3866 3870
3867 3871 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3868 3872 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3869 3873
3870 3874 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3871 3875
3872 3876 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3873 3877 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3874 3878
3875 3879 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3876 3880
3877 3881 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3878 3882
3879 3883 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3880 3884 updated.
3881 3885
3882 3886 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3883 3887
3884 3888 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3885 3889 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3886 3890 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3887 3891 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3888 3892 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3889 3893
3890 3894 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3891 3895 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3892 3896 split regexp. Closes
3893 3897 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3894 3898 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3895 3899 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3896 3900 extensions.
3897 3901
3898 3902 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3899 3903 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3900 3904 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3901 3905 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3902 3906 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3903 3907
3904 3908 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3905 3909 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3906 3910 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3907 3911 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3908 3912
3909 3913 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3910 3914 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3911 3915
3912 3916 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3913 3917 fine-tune banner.
3914 3918
3915 3919 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3916 3920 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3917 3921
3918 3922 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3919 3923
3920 3924 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3921 3925 were missing.
3922 3926
3923 3927 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3924 3928 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3925 3929 valid at the command line.
3926 3930
3927 3931 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3928 3932 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3929 3933
3930 3934 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3931 3935
3932 3936 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3933 3937 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3934 3938 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3935 3939
3936 3940 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3937 3941
3938 3942 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3939 3943 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3940 3944 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3941 3945 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3942 3946 continue to use the standard profiler.
3943 3947
3944 3948 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3945 3949
3946 3950 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3947 3951 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3948 3952 close.
3949 3953
3950 3954 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3951 3955
3952 3956 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3953 3957 in Magic and ultraTB.
3954 3958
3955 3959 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3956 3960
3957 3961 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3958 3962 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3959 3963 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3960 3964 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3961 3965
3962 3966 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3963 3967 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3964 3968 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3965 3969 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3966 3970 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3967 3971 infrastructure in place.
3968 3972
3969 3973 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3970 3974
3971 3975 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3972 3976
3973 3977 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3974 3978 the pylab profile.
3975 3979
3976 3980 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3977 3981
3978 3982 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3979 3983
3980 3984 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3981 3985 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3982 3986 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3983 3987 itself.
3984 3988
3985 3989 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3986 3990 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3987 3991 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3988 3992 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3989 3993 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3990 3994 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3991 3995 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3992 3996 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3993 3997
3994 3998 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3995 3999 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3996 4000
3997 4001 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3998 4002
3999 4003 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
4000 4004 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
4001 4005 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
4002 4006
4003 4007 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4004 4008
4005 4009 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
4006 4010 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
4007 4011
4008 4012 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4009 4013
4010 4014 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
4011 4015
4012 4016 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
4013 4017
4014 4018 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4015 4019
4016 4020 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
4017 4021 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
4018 4022 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
4019 4023
4020 4024 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4021 4025
4022 4026 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
4023 4027 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
4024 4028 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
4025 4029 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
4026 4030 works.
4027 4031
4028 4032 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
4029 4033 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
4030 4034 practice.
4031 4035
4032 4036 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4033 4037
4034 4038 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
4035 4039 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
4036 4040 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
4037 4041
4038 4042 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4039 4043
4040 4044 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
4041 4045 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
4042 4046 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
4043 4047 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
4044 4048
4045 4049 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4046 4050
4047 4051 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
4048 4052 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
4049 4053 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
4050 4054 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
4051 4055
4052 4056 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
4053 4057
4054 4058 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4055 4059
4056 4060 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
4057 4061 fail for any number.
4058 4062 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
4059 4063 empty bookmarks.
4060 4064
4061 4065 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
4062 4066
4063 4067 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4064 4068
4065 4069 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
4066 4070
4067 4071 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
4068 4072 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
4069 4073
4070 4074 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
4071 4075 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
4072 4076
4073 4077 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4074 4078
4075 4079 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
4076 4080 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
4077 4081 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
4078 4082 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
4079 4083 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
4080 4084
4081 4085 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4082 4086
4083 4087 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
4084 4088 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
4085 4089
4086 4090 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4087 4091
4088 4092 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4089 4093 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
4090 4094 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
4091 4095 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
4092 4096
4093 4097 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
4094 4098 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
4095 4099 Schmolck.
4096 4100
4097 4101 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4098 4102
4099 4103 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
4100 4104
4101 4105 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
4102 4106 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
4103 4107
4104 4108 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
4105 4109 optimizations.
4106 4110
4107 4111 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
4108 4112 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
4109 4113
4110 4114 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4111 4115 --Started changelog.
4112 4116 --make clear do what it say it does
4113 4117 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
4114 4118 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
4115 4119 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
4116 4120 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
4117 4121 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
4118 4122 can be done for other cases.
4119 4123 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
4120 4124 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
4121 4125 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
4122 4126
4123 4127 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4124 4128 --added logfile rotation
4125 4129 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
4126 4130
4127 4131 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4128 4132 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
4129 4133 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
4130 4134 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
4131 4135 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
4132 4136 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
4133 4137 --added global logfile option
4134 4138 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
4135 4139 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
4136 4140
4137 4141 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4138 4142 --added a README
4139 4143 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
4140 4144 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
4141 4145 bug or feature.
4142 4146 --changed rc file for new behavior
4143 4147
4144 4148 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4145 4149
4146 4150 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
4147 4151 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
4148 4152 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
4149 4153
4150 4154 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
4151 4155 information which was there from Janko's original code:
4152 4156
4153 4157 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
4154 4158
4155 4159 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
4156 4160 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
4157 4161 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
4158 4162 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
4159 4163 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
4160 4164 and prepended with a #.
4161 4165
4162 4166 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
4163 4167 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
4164 4168
4165 4169 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4166 4170
4167 4171 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
4168 4172 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
4169 4173
4170 4174 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4171 4175
4172 4176 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
4173 4177 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
4174 4178
4175 4179 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4176 4180
4177 4181 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
4178 4182 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
4179 4183 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
4180 4184
4181 4185 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4182 4186
4183 4187 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
4184 4188 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
4185 4189
4186 4190 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
4187 4191 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
4188 4192 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
4189 4193 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
4190 4194 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
4191 4195 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
4192 4196 be implemented later).
4193 4197
4194 4198 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
4195 4199 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
4196 4200 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
4197 4201 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
4198 4202
4199 4203 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
4200 4204 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
4201 4205 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
4202 4206
4203 4207 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
4204 4208 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
4205 4209
4206 4210 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
4207 4211 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
4208 4212 readline make it impossible to go further.
4209 4213
4210 4214 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4211 4215
4212 4216 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
4213 4217 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
4214 4218
4215 4219 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4216 4220
4217 4221 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
4218 4222 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
4219 4223 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
4220 4224 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
4221 4225
4222 4226 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
4223 4227 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
4224 4228 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
4225 4229 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
4226 4230
4227 4231 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
4228 4232 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
4229 4233 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
4230 4234 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
4231 4235 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
4232 4236 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
4233 4237 problem.
4234 4238
4235 4239 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
4236 4240 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
4237 4241
4238 4242 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
4239 4243 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
4240 4244 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
4241 4245
4242 4246 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4243 4247
4244 4248 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
4245 4249 continue prompts.
4246 4250
4247 4251 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
4248 4252 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
4249 4253 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
4250 4254 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
4251 4255 byte-compilation saves time.
4252 4256
4253 4257 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4254 4258
4255 4259 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
4256 4260 -NUM', which was recently broken.
4257 4261
4258 4262 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
4259 4263 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
4260 4264
4261 4265 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
4262 4266 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
4263 4267 common cases where it's a problem.
4264 4268
4265 4269 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4266 4270
4267 4271 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
4268 4272 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
4269 4273 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
4270 4274 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
4271 4275 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
4272 4276 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
4273 4277
4274 4278 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4275 4279
4276 4280 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
4277 4281 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
4278 4282
4279 4283 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
4280 4284 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
4281 4285 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
4282 4286 structure as win_exec_ext.
4283 4287
4284 4288 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
4285 4289 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
4286 4290
4287 4291 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
4288 4292 delete aliases.
4289 4293
4290 4294 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
4291 4295 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
4292 4296
4293 4297 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4294 4298
4295 4299 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
4296 4300 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
4297 4301
4298 4302 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4299 4303
4300 4304 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
4301 4305 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
4302 4306
4303 4307 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
4304 4308 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
4305 4309
4306 4310 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
4307 4311 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
4308 4312 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
4309 4313 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
4310 4314 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
4311 4315 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
4312 4316
4313 4317 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
4314 4318 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
4315 4319 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
4316 4320
4317 4321 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
4318 4322 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
4319 4323 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
4320 4324
4321 4325 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
4322 4326 via an extra $. For example:
4323 4327
4324 4328 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
4325 4329
4326 4330 In [8]: !echo $PATH
4327 4331 a python variable
4328 4332
4329 4333 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
4330 4334 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
4331 4335
4332 4336 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
4333 4337 things prematurely.
4334 4338
4335 4339 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
4336 4340 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
4337 4341
4338 4342 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
4339 4343 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
4340 4344 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
4341 4345 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
4342 4346 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
4343 4347 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
4344 4348 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
4345 4349 programs in the user's path is obtained.
4346 4350
4347 4351 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
4348 4352 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
4349 4353 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
4350 4354 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
4351 4355 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
4352 4356 with the old system).
4353 4357
4354 4358 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4355 4359
4356 4360 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
4357 4361 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
4358 4362
4359 4363 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
4360 4364 call to eval.
4361 4365 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
4362 4366 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
4363 4367 in.
4364 4368
4365 4369 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4366 4370
4367 4371 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
4368 4372 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
4369 4373 confusion).
4370 4374
4371 4375 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
4372 4376 check for Windows users.
4373 4377
4374 4378 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
4375 4379 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
4376 4380 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
4377 4381 download it.
4378 4382
4379 4383 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4380 4384
4381 4385 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
4382 4386 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
4383 4387 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
4384 4388 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
4385 4389 of IDLE's out).
4386 4390
4387 4391 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
4388 4392 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
4389 4393 eventually.
4390 4394 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
4391 4395
4392 4396 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4393 4397
4394 4398 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
4395 4399 list of auto-defined aliases.
4396 4400
4397 4401 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4398 4402
4399 4403 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
4400 4404 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
4401 4405 things under Windows).
4402 4406
4403 4407 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4404 4408
4405 4409 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
4406 4410 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
4407 4411 reported by Thorsten.
4408 4412
4409 4413 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4410 4414
4411 4415 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
4412 4416 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
4413 4417 for all examples and the manual as well.
4414 4418
4415 4419 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4416 4420
4417 4421 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
4418 4422 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
4419 4423 inherit from BasePrompt.
4420 4424
4421 4425 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
4422 4426 with python version (since paths are fixed).
4423 4427
4424 4428 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
4425 4429 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
4426 4430 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
4427 4431 defaults.
4428 4432 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
4429 4433 this fix manually!
4430 4434
4431 4435 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
4432 4436 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
4433 4437 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
4434 4438 distutils).
4435 4439
4436 4440 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
4437 4441 usage of new '\D' escape.
4438 4442
4439 4443 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
4440 4444 lacks os.getuid())
4441 4445 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
4442 4446 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
4443 4447 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
4444 4448 handling mechanism.
4445 4449 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
4446 4450 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
4447 4451 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
4448 4452 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
4449 4453 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
4450 4454 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
4451 4455 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
4452 4456
4453 4457 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4454 4458
4455 4459 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
4456 4460 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
4457 4461 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
4458 4462
4459 4463 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
4460 4464 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
4461 4465 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
4462 4466 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
4463 4467 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
4464 4468 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
4465 4469 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
4466 4470 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4467 4471
4468 4472 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
4469 4473 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
4470 4474 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
4471 4475 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
4472 4476 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
4473 4477 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
4474 4478 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
4475 4479 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
4476 4480
4477 4481 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
4478 4482 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
4479 4483 functions uniform.
4480 4484 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
4481 4485
4482 4486 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
4483 4487 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
4484 4488 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
4485 4489 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
4486 4490 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
4487 4491 use to parse their options.
4488 4492
4489 4493 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
4490 4494 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
4491 4495 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
4492 4496
4493 4497 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
4494 4498 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
4495 4499 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
4496 4500 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
4497 4501 via the prompt_specials.
4498 4502
4499 4503 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4500 4504
4501 4505 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
4502 4506 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
4503 4507 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
4504 4508 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
4505 4509 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
4506 4510 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4507 4511 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
4508 4512 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
4509 4513
4510 4514 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4511 4515
4512 4516 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
4513 4517 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
4514 4518 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
4515 4519
4516 4520 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4517 4521
4518 4522 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
4519 4523 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
4520 4524
4521 4525 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4522 4526
4523 4527 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
4524 4528 parens would get passed to the shell.
4525 4529
4526 4530 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4527 4531
4528 4532 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
4529 4533 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
4530 4534
4531 4535 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
4532 4536 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
4533 4537 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
4534 4538 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
4535 4539 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
4536 4540
4537 4541 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
4538 4542 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
4539 4543 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
4540 4544 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
4541 4545
4542 4546 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
4543 4547
4544 4548 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4545 4549
4546 4550 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
4547 4551 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
4548 4552 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4549 4553
4550 4554 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
4551 4555 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
4552 4556 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
4553 4557 official documentation.
4554 4558
4555 4559 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4556 4560
4557 4561 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
4558 4562 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
4559 4563 explicit filename.
4560 4564
4561 4565 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4562 4566
4563 4567 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4564 4568 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4565 4569 case.
4566 4570
4567 4571 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4568 4572 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4569 4573 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4570 4574
4571 4575 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
4572 4576
4573 4577 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4574 4578
4575 4579 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4576 4580 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4577 4581 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4578 4582 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4579 4583 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4580 4584 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4581 4585 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4582 4586 any changes to python proper.
4583 4587
4584 4588 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4585 4589 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4586 4590 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4587 4591 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4588 4592 Schmolck.
4589 4593
4590 4594 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4591 4595
4592 4596 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4593 4597 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4594 4598 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4595 4599 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4596 4600
4597 4601 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4598 4602
4599 4603 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4600 4604 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4601 4605 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4602 4606 name).
4603 4607
4604 4608 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4605 4609 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4606 4610 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4607 4611 Francois Pinard.
4608 4612
4609 4613 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4610 4614
4611 4615 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4612 4616 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4613 4617 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4614 4618 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4615 4619 not work.
4616 4620
4617 4621 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4618 4622
4619 4623 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4620 4624 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4621 4625 distinguishes stdout/err.
4622 4626
4623 4627 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4624 4628 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4625 4629 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4626 4630 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4627 4631 the standard library.
4628 4632
4629 4633 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4630 4634 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4631 4635
4632 4636 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4633 4637 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4634 4638
4635 4639 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4636 4640
4637 4641 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4638 4642 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4639 4643 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4640 4644 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4641 4645 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4642 4646 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4643 4647
4644 4648 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4645 4649
4646 4650 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4647 4651 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4648 4652 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4649 4653 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4650 4654
4651 4655 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4652 4656
4653 4657 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4654 4658 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4655 4659 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4656 4660 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4657 4661
4658 4662 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4659 4663
4660 4664 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4661 4665 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4662 4666 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4663 4667 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4664 4668 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4665 4669 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4666 4670 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4667 4671 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4668 4672
4669 4673 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4670 4674
4671 4675 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4672 4676 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4673 4677
4674 4678 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4675 4679
4676 4680 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4677 4681 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4678 4682 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4679 4683 very short.
4680 4684
4681 4685 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4682 4686
4683 4687 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4684 4688 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4685 4689 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4686 4690 this before making it permanent.
4687 4691
4688 4692 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4689 4693 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4690 4694 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4691 4695 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4692 4696
4693 4697 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4694 4698
4695 4699 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4696 4700 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4697 4701
4698 4702 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4699 4703
4700 4704 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4701 4705 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4702 4706 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4703 4707 cases I've missed.
4704 4708
4705 4709 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4706 4710
4707 4711 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4708 4712 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4709 4713 system would be triggered for @p.
4710 4714
4711 4715 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4712 4716 cleanups, code unmodified.
4713 4717
4714 4718 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4715 4719 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4716 4720 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4717 4721 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4718 4722 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4719 4723 The actual changes affect many files.
4720 4724
4721 4725 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4722 4726
4723 4727 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4724 4728 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4725 4729 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4726 4730
4727 4731 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4728 4732
4729 4733 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4730 4734 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4731 4735
4732 4736 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4733 4737
4734 4738 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4735 4739 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4736 4740 numpy list.
4737 4741
4738 4742 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4739 4743
4740 4744 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4741 4745 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4742 4746 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4743 4747 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4744 4748
4745 4749 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4746 4750
4747 4751 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4748 4752 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4749 4753 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4750 4754 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4751 4755
4752 4756 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4753 4757 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4754 4758
4755 4759 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4756 4760
4757 4761 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4758 4762 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4759 4763 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4760 4764 Collins.
4761 4765
4762 4766 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4763 4767
4764 4768 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4765 4769
4766 4770 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4767 4771 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4768 4772 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4769 4773
4770 4774 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4771 4775
4772 4776 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4773 4777 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4774 4778 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4775 4779 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4776 4780
4777 4781 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4778 4782 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4779 4783 __getitem__ and __call__.
4780 4784
4781 4785 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4782 4786
4783 4787 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4784 4788
4785 4789 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4786 4790 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4787 4791 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4788 4792 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4789 4793
4790 4794 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4791 4795 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4792 4796 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4793 4797 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4794 4798 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4795 4799 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4796 4800 necessary.
4797 4801
4798 4802 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4799 4803 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4800 4804 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4801 4805
4802 4806 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4803 4807 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4804 4808 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4805 4809 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4806 4810
4807 4811 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4808 4812 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4809 4813 generators.
4810 4814
4811 4815 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4812 4816 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4813 4817 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4814 4818 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4815 4819 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4816 4820 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4817 4821 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4818 4822
4819 4823 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4820 4824 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4821 4825 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4822 4826 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4823 4827 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4824 4828
4825 4829 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4826 4830 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4827 4831 edit under some circumstances.
4828 4832 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4829 4833 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4830 4834 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4831 4835 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4832 4836 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4833 4837 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4834 4838 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4835 4839 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4836 4840 need more testing.
4837 4841
4838 4842 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4839 4843
4840 4844 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4841 4845 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4842 4846 and simpler code.
4843 4847
4844 4848 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4845 4849
4846 4850 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4847 4851 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4848 4852 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4849 4853 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4850 4854 even if they were contiguous.
4851 4855 (l1norm): Added this function.
4852 4856 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4853 4857 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4854 4858 and speed.
4855 4859
4856 4860 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4857 4861
4858 4862 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4859 4863 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4860 4864 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4861 4865
4862 4866 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4863 4867
4864 4868 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4865 4869 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4866 4870 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4867 4871
4868 4872 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4869 4873 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4870 4874 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4871 4875
4872 4876 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4873 4877
4874 4878 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4875 4879 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4876 4880 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4877 4881 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4878 4882 activity.
4879 4883
4880 4884 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4881 4885
4882 4886 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4883 4887 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4884 4888 Numeric.identity)
4885 4889
4886 4890 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4887 4891
4888 4892 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4889 4893 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4890 4894 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4891 4895
4892 4896 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4893 4897
4894 4898 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4895 4899 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4896 4900 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4897 4901 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4898 4902
4899 4903 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4900 4904 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4901 4905 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4902 4906 is implemented).
4903 4907
4904 4908 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4905 4909
4906 4910 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4907 4911 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4908 4912 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4909 4913
4910 4914 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4911 4915 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4912 4916 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4913 4917 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4914 4918 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4915 4919
4916 4920 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4917 4921
4918 4922 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4919 4923
4920 4924 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4921 4925 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4922 4926 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4923 4927
4924 4928 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4925 4929
4926 4930 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4927 4931 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4928 4932 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4929 4933
4930 4934 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4931 4935 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4932 4936 crash report from Prabhu.
4933 4937
4934 4938 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4935 4939
4936 4940 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4937 4941 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4938 4942 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4939 4943 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4940 4944 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4941 4945 also be useful in other cases.
4942 4946
4943 4947 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4944 4948 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4945 4949 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4946 4950
4947 4951 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4948 4952
4949 4953 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4950 4954
4951 4955 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4952 4956 installing for a new user under Windows.
4953 4957
4954 4958 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4955 4959
4956 4960 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4957 4961 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4958 4962 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4959 4963 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4960 4964 there.
4961 4965
4962 4966 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4963 4967 info to crash reports.
4964 4968
4965 4969 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4966 4970 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4967 4971 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4968 4972 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.

4970 4974 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4971 4975
4972 4976 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4973 4977 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4974 4978 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4975 4979 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4976 4980
4977 4981 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4978 4982
4979 4983 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4980 4984 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4981 4985
4982 4986 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4983 4987
4984 4988 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4985 4989 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4986 4990
4987 4991 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4988 4992
4989 4993 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4990 4994
4991 4995 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4992 4996 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4993 4997 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4994 4998
4995 4999 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4996 5000 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4997 5001 with the new auto-indent option.
4998 5002
4999 5003 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5000 5004
5001 5005 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
5002 5006 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
5003 5007 this class from the main Shell class.
5004 5008
5005 5009 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
5006 5010 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
5007 5011 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
5008 5012 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
5009 5013 option).
5010 5014
5011 5015 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
5012 5016 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
5013 5017 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
5014 5018 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
5015 5019 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
5016 5020
5017 5021 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
5018 5022 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
5019 5023 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5020 5024
5021 5025 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
5022 5026 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
5023 5027 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
5024 5028 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
5025 5029 tracebacks.
5026 5030
5027 5031 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
5028 5032 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
5029 5033 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
5030 5034
5031 5035 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5032 5036
5033 5037 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
5034 5038 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
5035 5039 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
5036 5040 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
5037 5041
5038 5042 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5039 5043
5040 5044 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
5041 5045 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
5042 5046 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
5043 5047 for the bug report.
5044 5048
5045 5049 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5046 5050
5047 5051 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
5048 5052 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
5049 5053 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
5050 5054 report.
5051 5055
5052 5056 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5053 5057
5054 5058 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
5055 5059 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
5056 5060 end).
5057 5061
5058 5062 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
5059 5063 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
5060 5064 too often, or I would have heard about it.
5061 5065
5062 5066 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5063 5067
5064 5068 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
5065 5069 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
5066 5070 for the patch.
5067 5071
5068 5072 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5069 5073
5070 5074 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
5071 5075 functions.
5072 5076
5073 5077 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

5075 5079 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5076 5080
5077 5081 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
5078 5082 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
5079 5083 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
5080 5084 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
5081 5085 private fix.
5082 5086
5083 5087 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
5084 5088 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
5085 5089 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
5086 5090 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
5087 5091 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
5088 5092 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
5089 5093 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
5090 5094 fixed for this setup.
5091 5095
5092 5096 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
5093 5097 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
5094 5098
5095 5099 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
5096 5100
5097 5101 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5098 5102
5099 5103 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
5100 5104 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
5101 5105 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
5102 5106 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
5103 5107 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
5104 5108 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
5105 5109 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
5106 5110 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
5107 5111 annoying bug is finally fixed.
5108 5112
5109 5113 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
5110 5114 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
5111 5115 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
5112 5116
5113 5117 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
5114 5118
5115 5119 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5116 5120
5117 5121 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
5118 5122 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
5119 5123 pickle-related issue in @run).
5120 5124
5121 5125 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5122 5126
5123 5127 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
5124 5128 the autocall option at runtime.
5125 5129 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
5126 5130 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
5127 5131 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
5128 5132 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
5129 5133 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
5130 5134 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
5131 5135 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
5132 5136 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
5133 5137 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
5134 5138 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
5135 5139 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
5136 5140 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
5137 5141 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
5138 5142 pickles to save something sensible.
5139 5143
5140 5144 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
5141 5145
5142 5146 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
5143 5147 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
5144 5148 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
5145 5149
5146 5150 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5147 5151
5148 5152 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
5149 5153 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
5150 5154
5151 5155 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
5152 5156
5153 5157 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
5154 5158 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
5155 5159 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
5156 5160 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
5157 5161
5158 5162 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5159 5163
5160 5164 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
5161 5165 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
5162 5166 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
5163 5167 array is non-contiguous.
5164 5168
5165 5169 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5166 5170
5167 5171 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
5168 5172 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
5169 5173 executed).
5170 5174 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
5171 5175 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
5172 5176 output.
5173 5177 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
5174 5178 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
5175 5179 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
5176 5180 changing.
5177 5181
5178 5182 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
5179 5183
5180 5184 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5181 5185
5182 5186 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
5183 5187 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
5184 5188 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
5185 5189 are removed only at IPython's exit.
5186 5190 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
5187 5191 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
5188 5192 like a normal command-line.
5189 5193
5190 5194 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
5191 5195 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
5192 5196 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
5193 5197 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
5194 5198
5195 5199 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5196 5200
5197 5201 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
5198 5202 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
5199 5203 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
5200 5204 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
5201 5205
5202 5206 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5203 5207
5204 5208 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
5205 5209 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
5206 5210 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
5207 5211 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
5208 5212 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
5209 5213 think it's worth doing.
5210 5214
5211 5215 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50

5213 5217 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5214 5218
5215 5219 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
5216 5220 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
5217 5221
5218 5222 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
5219 5223 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
5220 5224 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
5221 5225 also work ok.
5222 5226
5223 5227 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49

5225 5229 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5226 5230
5227 5231 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
5228 5232
5229 5233 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
5230 5234 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
5231 5235 of gnuplot data files.
5232 5236
5233 5237 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5234 5238
5235 5239 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
5236 5240 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
5237 5241
5238 5242 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5239 5243
5240 5244 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
5241 5245 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
5242 5246 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
5243 5247 for pointing this out.
5244 5248
5245 5249 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5246 5250
5247 5251 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
5248 5252
5249 5253 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
5250 5254 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
5251 5255 Interactive.
5252 5256
5253 5257 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
5254 5258 being imported from iplib.
5255 5259
5256 5260 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
5257 5261 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
5258 5262 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
5259 5263 common name.
5260 5264
5261 5265 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
5262 5266 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
5263 5267
5264 5268 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
5265 5269 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
5266 5270
5267 5271 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
5268 5272 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
5269 5273 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
5270 5274 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
5271 5275 docstrings).
5272 5276
5273 5277 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5274 5278
5275 5279 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
5276 5280 (inconsistent with options).
5277 5281
5278 5282 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
5279 5283 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
5280 5284 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
5281 5285 eps output.
5282 5286
5283 5287 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5284 5288
5285 5289 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
5286 5290 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
5287 5291 Pinard.
5288 5292
5289 5293 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5290 5294
5291 5295 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
5292 5296 history file for new users.
5293 5297 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
5294 5298 user running in the .ipython dir.
5295 5299 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
5296 5300 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
5297 5301 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
5298 5302
5299 5303 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
5300 5304 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
5301 5305 consistently.
5302 5306
5303 5307 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
5304 5308 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
5305 5309 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
5306 5310 libraries I don't have access to.
5307 5311
5308 5312 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
5309 5313 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
5310 5314 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
5311 5315 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
5312 5316 report.
5313 5317
5314 5318 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5315 5319
5316 5320 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
5317 5321 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
5318 5322 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
5319 5323 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
5320 5324
5321 5325 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5322 5326
5323 5327 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
5324 5328 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
5325 5329 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
5326 5330 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
5327 5331 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
5328 5332 instance has been created.
5329 5333
5330 5334 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
5331 5335 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
5332 5336 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
5333 5337 dict by hand.
5334 5338
5335 5339 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5336 5340
5337 5341 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
5338 5342 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
5339 5343 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
5340 5344 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
5341 5345 broken.
5342 5346
5343 5347 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
5344 5348 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
5345 5349 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
5346 5350 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
5347 5351
5348 5352 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
5349 5353 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
5350 5354 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
5351 5355 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
5352 5356 is a valid one.
5353 5357
5354 5358 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
5355 5359 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
5356 5360 confirmation to have yes as the default.
5357 5361
5358 5362 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
5359 5363 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
5360 5364 simply leftover junk.
5361 5365
5362 5366 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5363 5367
5364 5368 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
5365 5369 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
5366 5370 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
5367 5371
5368 5372 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
5369 5373 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
5370 5374 exceptions.
5371 5375
5372 5376 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5373 5377
5374 5378 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
5375 5379 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
5376 5380 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
5377 5381 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
5378 5382 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
5379 5383
5380 5384 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
5381 5385 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
5382 5386
5383 5387 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
5384 5388 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
5385 5389 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
5386 5390 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
5387 5391 problem mentioned below.
5388 5392
5389 5393 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5390 5394
5391 5395 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
5392 5396 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
5393 5397
5394 5398 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
5395 5399 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
5396 5400 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
5397 5401 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
5398 5402 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
5399 5403
5400 5404 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
5401 5405 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
5402 5406 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
5403 5407 actual function names.
5404 5408
5405 5409 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
5406 5410 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
5407 5411 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
5408 5412 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
5409 5413 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
5410 5414 really be only function/method names.
5411 5415
5412 5416 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5413 5417
5414 5418 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
5415 5419 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
5416 5420 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
5417 5421
5418 5422 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5419 5423
5420 5424 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
5421 5425 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
5422 5426 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
5423 5427
5424 5428 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
5425 5429 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5426 5430
5427 5431 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
5428 5432 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
5429 5433 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
5430 5434
5431 5435 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
5432 5436 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
5433 5437 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
5434 5438
5435 5439 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
5436 5440 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
5437 5441 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
5438 5442
5439 5443 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5440 5444
5441 5445 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
5442 5446 Gnuplot.File objects.
5443 5447
5444 5448 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5445 5449
5446 5450 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
5447 5451 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
5448 5452 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
5449 5453
5450 5454 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5451 5455
5452 5456 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
5453 5457 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
5454 5458
5455 5459 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
5456 5460 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
5457 5461
5458 5462 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
5459 5463 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
5460 5464
5461 5465 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5462 5466
5463 5467 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
5464 5468 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
5465 5469 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
5466 5470 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
5467 5471
5468 5472 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5469 5473
5470 5474 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
5471 5475 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
5472 5476 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
5473 5477
5474 5478 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5475 5479
5476 5480 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
5477 5481 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
5478 5482 workaround).
5479 5483
5480 5484 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5481 5485
5482 5486 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
5483 5487 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
5484 5488
5485 5489 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5486 5490
5487 5491 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
5488 5492 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
5489 5493
5490 5494 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
5491 5495 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
5492 5496 .strip() is called on it.
5493 5497
5494 5498
5495 5499 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5496 5500
5497 5501 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
5498 5502 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
5499 5503 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
5500 5504
5501 5505 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
5502 5506 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
5503 5507
5504 5508 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
5505 5509 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
5506 5510 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
5507 5511
5508 5512 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5509 5513
5510 5514 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
5511 5515 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
5512 5516 __main__.
5513 5517
5514 5518 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
5515 5519 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
5516 5520
5517 5521 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
5518 5522 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
5519 5523 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
5520 5524 Mathematica behaves.
5521 5525
5522 5526 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5523 5527
5524 5528 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
5525 5529 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
5526 5530
5527 5531 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
5528 5532 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
5529 5533 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
5530 5534
5531 5535 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
5532 5536 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
5533 5537
5534 5538 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5535 5539
5536 5540 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
5537 5541 underflow problems in Numeric.
5538 5542 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
5539 5543 for exact integer powers of 2.
5540 5544
5541 5545 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
5542 5546 properly.
5543 5547
5544 5548 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5545 5549
5546 5550 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
5547 5551 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
5548 5552
5549 5553 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5550 5554
5551 5555 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
5552 5556 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
5553 5557
5554 5558 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5555 5559
5556 5560 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
5557 5561 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
5558 5562 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
5559 5563 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
5560 5564 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
5561 5565 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
5562 5566 times).
5563 5567
5564 5568 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
5565 5569 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
5566 5570 been redirected by user this gets honored.
5567 5571
5568 5572 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5569 5573
5570 5574 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
5571 5575 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5572 5576 embedded code.
5573 5577
5574 5578 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5575 5579 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5576 5580 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5577 5581
5578 5582 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5579 5583 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5580 5584 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5581 5585 less special-casing to remember.
5582 5586
5583 5587 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5584 5588
5585 5589 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5586 5590 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5587 5591 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5588 5592 arg is not a defined object.
5589 5593 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5590 5594 a Mike Heeter idea.
5591 5595
5592 5596 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5593 5597 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5594 5598 interactive use.
5595 5599
5596 5600 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5597 5601 filenames.
5598 5602
5599 5603 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5600 5604
5601 5605 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5602 5606 initialization via another struct.
5603 5607
5604 5608 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5605 5609 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5606 5610
5607 5611 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5608 5612
5609 5613 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5610 5614 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5611 5615 too big).
5612 5616
5613 5617 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5614 5618
5615 5619 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5616 5620 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5617 5621 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5618 5622 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5619 5623
5620 5624 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5621 5625
5622 5626 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5623 5627 macros having broken.
5624 5628
5625 5629 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5626 5630
5627 5631 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5628 5632 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5629 5633 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5630 5634 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5631 5635 not to lists.
5632 5636
5633 5637 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5634 5638
5635 5639 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5636 5640 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5637 5641 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5638 5642
5639 5643 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5640 5644 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5641 5645
5642 5646 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5643 5647 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5644 5648 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5645 5649
5646 5650 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5647 5651 triple-quoted strings.
5648 5652
5649 5653 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5650 5654 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5651 5655 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5652 5656 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5653 5657 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5654 5658 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5655 5659
5656 5660 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5657 5661
5658 5662 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5659 5663 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5660 5664 ultraTB).
5661 5665
5662 5666 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5663 5667
5664 5668 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5665 5669 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5666 5670 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5667 5671 user's 'g' variables).
5668 5672
5669 5673 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5670 5674 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5671 5675 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5672 5676 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5673 5677 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5674 5678 macros.
5675 5679
5676 5680 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5677 5681
5678 5682 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5679 5683 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5680 5684
5681 5685 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5682 5686 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5683 5687 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5684 5688
5685 5689 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5686 5690
5687 5691 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5688 5692 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5689 5693 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5690 5694 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5691 5695 aliases.
5692 5696
5693 5697 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5694 5698
5695 5699 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5696 5700 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5697 5701 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5698 5702 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5699 5703
5700 5704 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5701 5705
5702 5706 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5703 5707 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5704 5708 user-defined functions overrode them.
5705 5709
5706 5710 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5707 5711
5708 5712 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5709 5713 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5710 5714
5711 5715 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5712 5716
5713 5717 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5714 5718 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5715 5719 IPython.
5716 5720
5717 5721 * Released 0.2.13
5718 5722
5719 5723 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5720 5724 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5721 5725 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5722 5726 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5723 5727
5724 5728 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5725 5729
5726 5730 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5727 5731 magic properly formatted for screen.
5728 5732
5729 5733 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5730 5734 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5731 5735
5732 5736 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5733 5737 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5734 5738 etc.)
5735 5739
5736 5740 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5737 5741
5738 5742 * Released 0.2.12
5739 5743
5740 5744 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5741 5745
5742 5746 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5743 5747 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5744 5748 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5745 5749 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5746 5750 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5747 5751 an alias to @run -i.
5748 5752
5749 5753 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5750 5754 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5751 5755
5752 5756 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5753 5757
5754 5758 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5755 5759 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5756 5760 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5757 5761
5758 5762 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5759 5763 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5760 5764 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5761 5765 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5762 5766 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5763 5767 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5764 5768 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5765 5769
5766 5770 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5767 5771
5768 5772 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5769 5773 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5770 5774 printed).
5771 5775
5772 5776 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5773 5777 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5774 5778 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5775 5779
5776 5780 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5777 5781 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5778 5782
5779 5783 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5780 5784 handle magic commands in them.
5781 5785 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5782 5786 ~/mylog' now works.
5783 5787
5784 5788 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5785 5789 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5786 5790
5787 5791 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5788 5792
5789 5793 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5790 5794 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5791 5795
5792 5796 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5793 5797 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5794 5798 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5795 5799 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5796 5800 variables are in the context of an exception.
5797 5801 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5798 5802 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5799 5803
5800 5804 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5801 5805 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5802 5806
5803 5807 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5804 5808
5805 5809 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5806 5810 magics can parse options easier.
5807 5811 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5808 5812 suggested by Chris Hart.
5809 5813 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5810 5814 directory actually is in history.
5811 5815
5812 5816 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5813 5817 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5814 5818 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5815 5819
5816 5820 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5817 5821 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5818 5822 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5819 5823 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5820 5824
5821 5825 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5822 5826
5823 5827 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5824 5828 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5825 5829
5826 5830 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5827 5831 text (was a bug).
5828 5832
5829 5833 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5830 5834
5831 5835 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5832 5836 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5833 5837 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5834 5838
5835 5839 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5836 5840
5837 5841 * Released 0.2.10
5838 5842
5839 5843 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5840 5844
5841 5845 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5842 5846 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5843 5847
5844 5848 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5845 5849
5846 5850 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5847 5851 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5848 5852
5849 5853 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5850 5854
5851 5855 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5852 5856 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5853 5857 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5854 5858 __init__.py)
5855 5859
5856 5860 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5857 5861
5858 5862 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5859 5863 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5860 5864 test for being inside IPython.
5861 5865
5862 5866 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5863 5867 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5864 5868 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5865 5869 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5866 5870
5867 5871 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5868 5872
5869 5873 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5870 5874 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5871 5875 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5872 5876
5873 5877 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5874 5878 embedding example to standard user directory for
5875 5879 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5876 5880
5877 5881 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5878 5882 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5879 5883 hidden global).
5880 5884
5881 5885 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5882 5886 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5883 5887 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5884 5888 case.
5885 5889
5886 5890 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5887 5891
5888 5892 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5889 5893 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5890 5894 start.
5891 5895
5892 5896 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5893 5897 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5894 5898 Numeric or math.
5895 5899
5896 5900 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5897 5901 provided profiles. Now we have:
5898 5902 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5899 5903 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5900 5904 -physics -> same as before
5901 5905
5902 5906 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5903 5907 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5904 5908 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5905 5909 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5906 5910 string adds).
5907 5911
5908 5912 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5909 5913 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5910 5914 line with the gnuplot code).
5911 5915
5912 5916 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5913 5917
5914 5918 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5915 5919 all included files change.
5916 5920
5917 5921 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5918 5922 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5919 5923
5920 5924 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5921 5925 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5922 5926 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5923 5927
5924 5928 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5925 5929 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5926 5930
5927 5931 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5928 5932 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5929 5933
5930 5934 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5931 5935 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5932 5936 now accessible.
5933 5937
5934 5938 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5935 5939 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5936 5940 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5937 5941 removed.
5938 5942 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5939 5943 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5940 5944 don't crash.
5941 5945 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5942 5946 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5943 5947 remains available.
5944 5948
5945 5949 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5946 5950
5947 5951 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5948 5952
5949 5953 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5950 5954
5951 5955 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5952 5956 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5953 5957 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5954 5958 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5955 5959
5956 5960 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5957 5961
5958 5962 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5959 5963 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5960 5964 sync with the output counter.
5961 5965
5962 5966 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5963 5967 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5964 5968
5965 5969 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5966 5970
5967 5971 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5968 5972 readline, fix it back after each call.
5969 5973
5970 5974 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5971 5975 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5972 5976 traceback references are properly deleted.
5973 5977
5974 5978 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5975 5979 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5976 5980
5977 5981 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5978 5982
5979 5983 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5980 5984 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5981 5985 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5982 5986 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5983 5987 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5984 5988 to catch SystemExit).
5985 5989
5986 5990 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5987 5991 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5988 5992 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5989 5993 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5990 5994 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5991 5995 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5992 5996
5993 5997 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5994 5998
5995 5999 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5996 6000 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5997 6001 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5998 6002
5999 6003 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
6000 6004 configurable (it should have always been so).
6001 6005
6002 6006 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6003 6007
6004 6008 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
6005 6009 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
6006 6010 done in a more elegant way.
6007 6011
6008 6012 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6009 6013
6010 6014 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
6011 6015 win9x also.
6012 6016
6013 6017 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6014 6018
6015 6019 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
6016 6020 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
6017 6021
6018 6022 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6019 6023
6020 6024 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
6021 6025
6022 6026 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
6023 6027 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
6024 6028
6025 6029 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
6026 6030 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
6027 6031
6028 6032 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
6029 6033 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
6030 6034
6031 6035 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
6032 6036 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
6033 6037
6034 6038 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6035 6039
6036 6040 * Released 0.2.8
6037 6041
6038 6042 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
6039 6043 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
6040 6044 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
6041 6045 on' so that the first tab completes.
6042 6046 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
6043 6047 quotes breaking many magic commands.
6044 6048
6045 6049 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
6046 6050 installation.
6047 6051
6048 6052 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
6049 6053 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
6050 6054
6051 6055 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6052 6056
6053 6057 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
6054 6058 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
6055 6059 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
6056 6060
6057 6061 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
6058 6062 setting __name__=='__main__'.
6059 6063
6060 6064 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
6061 6065 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
6062 6066 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
6063 6067 suggestion.
6064 6068
6065 6069 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
6066 6070 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
6067 6071 Baecker for pointing this to me.
6068 6072
6069 6073 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
6070 6074 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
6071 6075
6072 6076 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6073 6077
6074 6078 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
6075 6079 which properly handles things for windows users.
6076 6080
6077 6081 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6078 6082
6079 6083 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
6080 6084 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
6081 6085 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
6082 6086 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
6083 6087 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
6084 6088
6085 6089 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
6086 6090
6087 6091 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6088 6092
6089 6093 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
6090 6094 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
6091 6095
6092 6096 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6093 6097
6094 6098 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
6095 6099 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
6096 6100 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
6097 6101 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
6098 6102 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
6099 6103 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
6100 6104
6101 6105 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6102 6106
6103 6107 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
6104 6108 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
6105 6109
6106 6110 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
6107 6111 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
6108 6112 cache at 20 values.
6109 6113
6110 6114 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
6111 6115 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
6112 6116 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
6113 6117 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
6114 6118
6115 6119 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
6116 6120 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
6117 6121 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
6118 6122 'file show').
6119 6123
6120 6124 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
6121 6125 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
6122 6126
6123 6127 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
6124 6128 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
6125 6129 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
6126 6130
6127 6131 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
6128 6132 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
6129 6133 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
6130 6134 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
6131 6135
6132 6136 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
6133 6137 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
6134 6138 the prompt strings.
6135 6139
6136 6140 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6137 6141
6138 6142 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
6139 6143 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
6140 6144
6141 6145 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
6142 6146 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
6143 6147 either globally or at each call.
6144 6148
6145 6149 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
6146 6150 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
6147 6151 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
6148 6152 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
6149 6153
6150 6154 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6151 6155
6152 6156 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
6153 6157 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
6154 6158
6155 6159 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
6156 6160
6157 6161 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
6158 6162 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
6159 6163 learning some lisp...
6160 6164
6161 6165 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6162 6166
6163 6167 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
6164 6168 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
6165 6169 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
6166 6170 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
6167 6171
6168 6172 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
6169 6173 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
6170 6174 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
6171 6175
6172 6176 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6173 6177
6174 6178 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
6175 6179 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
6176 6180 control to emacs users.
6177 6181
6178 6182 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
6179 6183 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
6180 6184 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
6181 6185 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
6182 6186 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
6183 6187 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
6184 6188
6185 6189 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6186 6190
6187 6191 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
6188 6192
6189 6193 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
6190 6194 @logstate magic was created.
6191 6195
6192 6196 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
6193 6197 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
6194 6198
6195 6199 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6196 6200
6197 6201 * Released 0.2.6.
6198 6202
6199 6203 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
6200 6204 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
6201 6205
6202 6206 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
6203 6207 SciPy.
6204 6208
6205 6209 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
6206 6210 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
6207 6211 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
6208 6212 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
6209 6213 the section on embedding and the example file.
6210 6214
6211 6215 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
6212 6216 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
6213 6217 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
6214 6218
6215 6219 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
6216 6220 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
6217 6221 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
6218 6222
6219 6223 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
6220 6224 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
6221 6225 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
6222 6226 for this to work.
6223 6227
6224 6228 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6225 6229
6226 6230 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
6227 6231 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
6228 6232 well inside Emacs buffers.
6229 6233 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
6230 6234 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
6231 6235 same bug in iplib.
6232 6236
6233 6237 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6234 6238
6235 6239 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
6236 6240 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
6237 6241
6238 6242 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
6239 6243 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
6240 6244 and keeps PyChecker happy).
6241 6245
6242 6246 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
6243 6247 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
6244 6248 display is done.
6245 6249
6246 6250 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
6247 6251 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
6248 6252
6249 6253 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
6250 6254 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
6251 6255 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
6252 6256 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
6253 6257 like in Octave.
6254 6258
6255 6259 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
6256 6260 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
6257 6261
6258 6262 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6259 6263
6260 6264 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
6261 6265 whole file a little.
6262 6266
6263 6267 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
6264 6268 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
6265 6269 end-user distro.
6266 6270
6267 6271 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
6268 6272 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
6269 6273 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
6270 6274
6271 6275 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
6272 6276 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
6273 6277
6274 6278 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
6275 6279 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
6276 6280 for @file.
6277 6281
6278 6282 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
6279 6283 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
6280 6284 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
6281 6285 the code a bit easier.
6282 6286
6283 6287 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
6284 6288 information to crash reports.
6285 6289
6286 6290 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6287 6291
6288 6292 * Released 0.2.5.
6289 6293
6290 6294 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6291 6295
6292 6296 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
6293 6297 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
6294 6298 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
6295 6299
6296 6300 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6297 6301
6298 6302 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
6299 6303 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
6300 6304 have thigs work as expected.
6301 6305
6302 6306 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
6303 6307 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
6304 6308 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
6305 6309 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
6306 6310 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
6307 6311
6308 6312 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
6309 6313 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
6310 6314
6311 6315 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6312 6316
6313 6317 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
6314 6318 user config files with os-native line-endings.
6315 6319
6316 6320 * README and manual updates.
6317 6321
6318 6322 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
6319 6323 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
6320 6324
6321 6325 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
6322 6326 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
6323 6327
6324 6328 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
6325 6329 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
6326 6330 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
6327 6331 extension-less files.
6328 6332
6329 6333 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
6330 6334 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
6331 6335 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
6332 6336
6333 6337 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
6334 6338 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
6335 6339
6336 6340 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
6337 6341 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
6338 6342 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
6339 6343 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
6340 6344 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
6341 6345 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
6342 6346 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
6343 6347 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
6344 6348 least make manually a shortcut.
6345 6349
6346 6350 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
6347 6351 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
6348 6352 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
6349 6353 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
6350 6354 runtime, with @colors.
6351 6355 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
6352 6356 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
6353 6357
6354 6358 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6355 6359
6356 6360 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
6357 6361 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
6358 6362 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
6359 6363 read the startup info.
6360 6364
6361 6365 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6362 6366
6363 6367 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
6364 6368 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
6365 6369 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
6366 6370 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
6367 6371 type the better off we are.
6368 6372 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
6369 6373 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
6370 6374 before.
6371 6375
6372 6376 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6373 6377
6374 6378 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
6375 6379 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
6376 6380 this later.
6377 6381
6378 6382 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6379 6383
6380 6384 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
6381 6385 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
6382 6386 (they can be triggered by imported code).
6383 6387
6384 6388 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6385 6389
6386 6390 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
6387 6391 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
6388 6392 spitting out only offset information as before.
6389 6393 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
6390 6394 programs with command line args inside IPython.
6391 6395
6392 6396 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6393 6397
6394 6398 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
6395 6399 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
6396 6400 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
6397 6401 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
6398 6402 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
6399 6403 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
6400 6404 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
6401 6405 macros.
6402 6406
6403 6407 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6404 6408
6405 6409 * Released 0.2.4.
6406 6410
6407 6411 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
6408 6412 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
6409 6413 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
6410 6414 re-execution.
6411 6415
6412 6416 * Updated manual with recent changes.
6413 6417
6414 6418 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
6415 6419 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
6416 6420 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
6417 6421 documented, of course :)
6418 6422 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
6419 6423 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
6420 6424 __call__ info for callable object instances.
6421 6425
6422 6426 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6423 6427
6424 6428 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
6425 6429 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
6426 6430 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
6427 6431
6428 6432 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6429 6433
6430 6434 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
6431 6435 so I wanted an updated release).
6432 6436
6433 6437 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6434 6438
6435 6439 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
6436 6440 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
6437 6441 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
6438 6442 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
6439 6443 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
6440 6444
6441 6445 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6442 6446
6443 6447 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
6444 6448 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
6445 6449
6446 6450 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6447 6451
6448 6452 * Released 0.2.2.
6449 6453
6450 6454 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
6451 6455 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
6452 6456 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
6453 6457 versions.
6454 6458
6455 6459 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
6456 6460 (MayaVi author).
6457 6461
6458 6462 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6459 6463
6460 6464 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
6461 6465 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
6462 6466 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
6463 6467 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
6464 6468 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
6465 6469
6466 6470 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
6467 6471 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
6468 6472
6469 6473 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6470 6474
6471 6475 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
6472 6476 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
6473 6477 nice, full-blown manual.
6474 6478
6475 6479 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
6476 6480 trivially simple for end-users.
6477 6481
6478 6482 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6479 6483
6480 6484 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
6481 6485 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
6482 6486
6483 6487 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
6484 6488 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
6485 6489
6486 6490 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6487 6491
6488 6492 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
6489 6493 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
6490 6494 people to later upgrade versions.
6491 6495
6492 6496 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
6493 6497 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
6494 6498 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
6495 6499 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
6496 6500 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
6497 6501 SystemExit).
6498 6502
6499 6503 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
6500 6504 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
6501 6505 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
6502 6506 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
6503 6507 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
6504 6508
6505 6509 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
6506 6510 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
6507 6511 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
6508 6512
6509 6513 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6510 6514
6511 6515 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
6512 6516 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
6513 6517
6514 6518 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
6515 6519 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
6516 6520 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
6517 6521 html docs out of it will be found).
6518 6522
6519 6523 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
6520 6524
6521 6525 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
6522 6526 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
6523 6527
6524 6528 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
6525 6529
6526 6530 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
6527 6531 visiting any directory in _dh.
6528 6532
6529 6533 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
6530 6534 it out with numbers.
6531 6535
6532 6536 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6533 6537
6534 6538 * Released 0.1.22
6535 6539
6536 6540 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
6537 6541 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
6538 6542
6539 6543 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
6540 6544 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
6541 6545 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
6542 6546 screen the necessary mail command.
6543 6547
6544 6548 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
6545 6549 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
6546 6550 guess we should at least give them something readable.
6547 6551
6548 6552 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6549 6553
6550 6554 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
6551 6555 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
6552 6556 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
6553 6557 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
6554 6558 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
6555 6559 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
6556 6560 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
6557 6561 its name).
6558 6562
6559 6563 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
6560 6564 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
6561 6565 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
6562 6566 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
6563 6567
6564 6568 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6565 6569
6566 6570 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
6567 6571 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
6568 6572
6569 6573 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
6570 6574 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
6571 6575
6572 6576 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6573 6577 completion of @-starting lines.
6574 6578
6575 6579 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6576 6580 info that other files can read from.
6577 6581
6578 6582 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6579 6583 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6580 6584 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6581 6585 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6582 6586 restores produce less errors.
6583 6587
6584 6588 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6585 6589 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6586 6590 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6587 6591 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6588 6592 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6589 6593
6590 6594 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6591 6595 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6592 6596 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6593 6597 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6594 6598 with this, finally...
6595 6599
6596 6600 * Small documentation updates.
6597 6601
6598 6602 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6599 6603 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6600 6604 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6601 6605
6602 6606 * File renaming:
6603 6607 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6604 6608 ipplib --> iplib
6605 6609 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6606 6610
6607 6611 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6608 6612 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6609 6613 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6610 6614
6611 6615 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6612 6616 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6613 6617 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6614 6618
6615 6619 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6616 6620
6617 6621 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6618 6622 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6619 6623 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6620 6624 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6621 6625
6622 6626 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6623 6627 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6624 6628 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6625 6629
6626 6630 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6627 6631 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6628 6632 road.
6629 6633
6630 6634 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6631 6635 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6632 6636 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6633 6637 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6634 6638
6635 6639 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6636 6640
6637 6641 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6638 6642 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6639 6643 file accordingly.
6640 6644
6641 6645 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6642 6646 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6643 6647 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6644 6648 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6645 6649 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6646 6650 separators and proper padding and justification.
6647 6651
6648 6652 * Released 0.1.20
6649 6653
6650 6654 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6651 6655 copy operation was missing).
6652 6656
6653 6657 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6654 6658 its output is always quite long.
6655 6659
6656 6660 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6657 6661 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6658 6662 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6659 6663 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6660 6664
6661 6665 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6662 6666 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6663 6667 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6664 6668 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6665 6669
6666 6670 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6667 6671
6668 6672 * Released 0.1.19
6669 6673
6670 6674 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6671 6675 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6672 6676
6673 6677 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6674 6678 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6675 6679 comment on 'macros').
6676 6680
6677 6681 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6678 6682
6679 6683 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6680 6684 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6681 6685 statements and takes parameters.
6682 6686
6683 6687 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6684 6688
6685 6689 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6686 6690
6687 6691 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6688 6692
6689 6693 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6690 6694 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6691 6695
6692 6696 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6693 6697 ipythonrc-* samples.
6694 6698
6695 6699 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6696 6700 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6697 6701
6698 6702 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6699 6703 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6700 6704
6701 6705 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6702 6706
6703 6707 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6704 6708 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6705 6709 convention.
6706 6710
6707 6711 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6708 6712 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6709 6713
6710 6714 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6711 6715
6712 6716 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6713 6717 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6714 6718
6715 6719 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6716 6720 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6717 6721 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6718 6722 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6719 6723 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6720 6724 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6721 6725 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6722 6726 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6723 6727 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6724 6728 works.
6725 6729
6726 6730 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6727 6731
6728 6732 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6729 6733 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6730 6734 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6731 6735 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6732 6736 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6733 6737 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6734 6738 all the editors, less does that.
6735 6739
6736 6740 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6737 6741
6738 6742 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6739 6743 crash IPython.
6740 6744
6741 6745 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6742 6746
6743 6747 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6744 6748
6745 6749 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6746 6750 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6747 6751 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6748 6752 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6749 6753 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6750 6754 work in _ofind.
6751 6755
6752 6756 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6753 6757 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6754 6758 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6755 6759 (famous last words).
6756 6760
6757 6761 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6758 6762 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6759 6763 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6760 6764 windows).
6761 6765
6762 6766 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6763 6767 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6764 6768
6765 6769 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6766 6770 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6767 6771 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6768 6772 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6769 6773
6770 6774 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6771 6775 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6772 6776 licences and announce it.
6773 6777
6774 6778 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6775 6779 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6776 6780 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6777 6781 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6778 6782
6779 6783 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6780 6784
6781 6785 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6782 6786 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6783 6787 lists.
6784 6788
6785 6789 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6786 6790 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6787 6791 are ok.
6788 6792
6789 6793 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6790 6794 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6791 6795
6792 6796 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6793 6797 this to Nathan.
6794 6798
6795 6799 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6796 6800
6797 6801 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6798 6802 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6799 6803 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6800 6804
6801 6805 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6802 6806 accepted). Cleaner.
6803 6807
6804 6808 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6805 6809 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6806 6810 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6807 6811 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6808 6812 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6809 6813
6810 6814 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6811 6815
6812 6816 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6813 6817 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6814 6818 history after a log replay.
6815 6819
6816 6820 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6817 6821 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6818 6822 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6819 6823 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6820 6824 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6821 6825 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6822 6826
6823 6827 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6824 6828 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6825 6829 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6826 6830 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6827 6831 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6828 6832
6829 6833 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6830 6834
6831 6835 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6832 6836 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6833 6837 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6834 6838 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6835 6839 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6836 6840 one: cache_size.
6837 6841
6838 6842 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6839 6843 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6840 6844 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6841 6845 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6842 6846
6843 6847 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6844 6848 @ or not).
6845 6849
6846 6850 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6847 6851 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6848 6852 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6849 6853 about licensing).
6850 6854
6851 6855 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6852 6856
6853 6857 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6854 6858 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6855 6859
6856 6860 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6857 6861 screen size for page() operations.
6858 6862
6859 6863 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6860 6864 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6861 6865 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6862 6866 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6863 6867
6864 6868 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6865 6869 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6866 6870 option name tables are clearer.
6867 6871
6868 6872 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6869 6873 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6870 6874 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6871 6875 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6872 6876 was also changed a little to align better.
6873 6877
6874 6878 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6875 6879 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6876 6880
6877 6881 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6878 6882 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6879 6883 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6880 6884
6881 6885 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6882 6886 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6883 6887 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6884 6888 he needs it.
6885 6889
6886 6890 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6887 6891
6888 6892 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6889 6893 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6890 6894 warning on it.
6891 6895
6892 6896 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6893 6897 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6894 6898 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6895 6899 was too long).
6896 6900
6897 6901 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6898 6902 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6899 6903 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6900 6904
6901 6905 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6902 6906 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6903 6907 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6904 6908 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6905 6909 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6906 6910 function for the same task.
6907 6911
6908 6912 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6909 6913
6910 6914 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6911 6915
6912 6916 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6913 6917 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6914 6918 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6915 6919
6916 6920 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6917 6921 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6918 6922 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6919 6923
6920 6924 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6921 6925 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6922 6926 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6923 6927
6924 6928 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6925 6929
6926 6930 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6927 6931
6928 6932 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6929 6933 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6930 6934 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6931 6935
6932 6936 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6933 6937
6934 6938 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6935 6939
6936 6940 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6937 6941
6938 6942 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6939 6943 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6940 6944 maintain.
6941 6945
6942 6946 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6943 6947 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6944 6948 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6945 6949 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6946 6950 compiled and startup is much faster.
6947 6951
6948 6952 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6949 6953 while without messing too much more with the code.
6950 6954
6951 6955 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6952 6956
6953 6957 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6954 6958
6955 6959 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6956 6960 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6957 6961 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6958 6962
6959 6963 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6960 6964 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6961 6965
6962 6966 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6963 6967 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6964 6968 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6965 6969 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6966 6970 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6967 6971 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6968 6972
6969 6973 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6970 6974 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6971 6975
6972 6976 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6973 6977 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6974 6978
6975 6979 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6976 6980 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6977 6981 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6978 6982 excessive.
6979 6983
6980 6984 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6981 6985 types (only first word was displayed).
6982 6986
6983 6987 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6984 6988
6985 6989 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6986 6990
6987 6991 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6988 6992 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6989 6993 travel along many directories.
6990 6994
6991 6995 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6992 6996 arguments with default values.
6993 6997
6994 6998 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6995 6999
6996 7000 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6997 7001 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6998 7002
6999 7003 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
7000 7004
7001 7005 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
7002 7006 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
7003 7007 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
7004 7008
7005 7009 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7006 7010
7007 7011 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
7008 7012 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
7009 7013 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
7010 7014 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
7011 7015 from the outside and implement extensions for special
7012 7016 purposes.
7013 7017
7014 7018 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
7015 7019 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
7016 7020 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
7017 7021 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
7018 7022 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
7019 7023 one can simply say
7020 7024 a = 4.2 m/s**2
7021 7025 or even
7022 7026 a = 4.2 m/s^2
7023 7027
7024 7028 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
7025 7029 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
7026 7030 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
7027 7031
7028 7032 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
7029 7033 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
7030 7034 they were defined in
7031 7035
7032 7036 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
7033 7037
7034 7038 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
7035 7039 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
7036 7040 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
7037 7041 these to show the same information.
7038 7042
7039 7043 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
7040 7044
7041 7045 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
7042 7046 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
7043 7047 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
7044 7048 backtracked on the whole class!)
7045 7049
7046 7050 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
7047 7051 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
7048 7052 everything works as before).
7049 7053
7050 7054 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
7051 7055 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
7052 7056 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
7053 7057 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
7054 7058
7055 7059 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7056 7060
7057 7061 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
7058 7062
7059 7063 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
7060 7064 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
7061 7065
7062 7066 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
7063 7067 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
7064 7068 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
7065 7069 this later.
7066 7070
7067 7071 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
7068 7072
7069 7073 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
7070 7074 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
7071 7075 line option.
7072 7076
7073 7077 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
7074 7078 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
7075 7079 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
7076 7080 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
7077 7081 didn't return a result).
7078 7082
7079 7083 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
7080 7084
7081 7085 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
7082 7086
7083 7087 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
7084 7088 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
7085 7089 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
7086 7090 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
7087 7091
7088 7092 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7089 7093
7090 7094 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
7091 7095
7092 7096 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
7093 7097 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
7094 7098
7095 7099 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
7096 7100 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
7097 7101 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
7098 7102 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
7099 7103 in with the next entry:
7100 7104
7101 7105 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
7102 7106 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
7103 7107 handling.
7104 7108
7105 7109 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
7106 7110 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
7107 7111 namespace protection and documentation.
7108 7112
7109 7113 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7110 7114
7111 7115 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
7112 7116 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
7113 7117
7114 7118 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
7115 7119
7116 7120 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7117 7121
7118 7122 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
7119 7123
7120 7124 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
7121 7125 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
7122 7126 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
7123 7127 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
7124 7128 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
7125 7129
7126 7130 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
7127 7131 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
7128 7132 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
7129 7133
7130 7134 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
7131 7135
7132 7136 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
7133 7137 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
7134 7138
7135 7139 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7136 7140
7137 7141 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
7138 7142
7139 7143 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
7140 7144 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
7141 7145 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
7142 7146 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
7143 7147 ScientificPython.
7144 7148
7145 7149 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7146 7150
7147 7151 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
7148 7152 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
7149 7153 when called with no args.
7150 7154
7151 7155 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
7152 7156 closely.
7153 7157
7154 7158 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
7155 7159 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
7156 7160 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
7157 7161 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
7158 7162 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
7159 7163
7160 7164 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7161 7165
7162 7166 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
7163 7167 customizations there and access them via import.
7164 7168
7165 7169 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7166 7170
7167 7171 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
7168 7172
7169 7173 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
7170 7174 Nathan and Janko.
7171 7175
7172 7176 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
7173 7177
7174 7178 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
7175 7179 too long.
7176 7180
7177 7181 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
7178 7182
7179 7183 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
7180 7184 ?sin and sin?
7181 7185 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
7182 7186 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
7183 7187 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
7184 7188 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
7185 7189
7186 7190 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7187 7191
7188 7192 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
7189 7193
7190 7194 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
7191 7195 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
7192 7196
7193 7197 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
7194 7198 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
7195 7199 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
7196 7200 me).
7197 7201
7198 7202 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
7199 7203 protected (reasonably).
7200 7204
7201 7205 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
7202 7206 note through it (it was too long).
7203 7207
7204 7208 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
7205 7209 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
7206 7210 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
7207 7211 parameters.
7208 7212
7209 7213
7210 7214 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7211 7215
7212 7216 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
7213 7217 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
7214 7218 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
7215 7219
7216 7220 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
7217 7221 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
7218 7222 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
7219 7223
7220 7224 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
7221 7225
7222 7226 Changes to InteractiveShell:
7223 7227
7224 7228 - Made the usage message a parameter.
7225 7229
7226 7230 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
7227 7231 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
7228 7232 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
7229 7233 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
7230 7234 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
7231 7235 break.
7232 7236
7233 7237 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
7234 7238 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
7235 7239 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
7236 7240 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
7237 7241 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
7238 7242 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
7239 7243
7240 7244 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
7241 7245 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
7242 7246 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
7243 7247 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
7244 7248 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
7245 7249 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
7246 7250 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
7247 7251 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
7248 7252 trick.
7249 7253
7250 7254 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
7251 7255 session restoring.
7252 7256
7253 7257 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
7254 7258 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
7255 7259 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
7256 7260 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
7257 7261 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
7258 7262
7259 7263 * Started ChangeLog.
