2 2
3 3 * iplib.py: do not auto-alias "dir", it screws up other dir auto
4 4 aliases.
5 5
6 6 * genutils.py: SList.grep() implemented.
7 7
8 * ipy_editors.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: Add some editors
9 for easy "out of the box" setup of several common editors, so that
10 e.g. '%edit os.path.isfile' will jump to the correct line
11 automatically. Contributions for command lines of your favourite
12 editors welcome.

9 15
10 16 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fixed bug that was
11 17 preventing source display in certain cases. In reality I think
12 18 the problem is with Ubuntu's Python build, but this change works
13 19 around the issue in some cases (not in all, unfortunately). I'd
14 20 filed a Python bug on this with more details, but in the change of
15 21 bug trackers it seems to have been lost.
16 22
17 23 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_dhist): restore %dhist. No, cd -TAB is
18 24 not the same, it's not self-documenting, doesn't allow range
19 25 selection, and sorts alphabetically instead of numerically.
20 26 (magic_r): restore %r. No, "up + enter. One char magic" is not
21 27 the same thing, since %r takes parameters to allow fast retrieval
22 28 of old commands. I've received emails from users who use this a
23 29 LOT, so it stays.
24 30 (magic_automagic): restore %automagic. "use _ip.option.automagic"
25 31 is not a valid replacement b/c it doesn't provide an complete
26 32 explanation (which the automagic docstring does).
27 33 (magic_autocall): restore %autocall, with improved docstring.
28 34 Same argument as for others, "use _ip.options.autocall" is not a
29 35 valid replacement.
30 36 (magic_pdef): restore %pdef & friends. Used widely, mentioned in
31 37 tutorials and online docs.
32 38
33 39 2007-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
34 40
35 41 * IPython/usage.py (quick_reference): mention magics in quickref,
36 42 modified main banner to mention %quickref.
37 43
38 44 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule): fixes for doctest compatibility.
39 45
40 46 2007-09-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
41 47
42 48 * ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_workdir.py, ipy_fsops.py, iplib.py:
43 49 Callable aliases now pass the _ip as first arg. This breaks
44 50 compatibility with earlier 0.8.2.svn series! (though they should
45 51 not have been in use yet outside these few extensions)
46 52
47 53 2007-09-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
48 54
49 55 * external/mglob.py: expand('dirname') => ['dirname'], instead
50 56 of ['dirname/foo','dirname/bar', ...].
51 57
52 58 * Extensions/ipy_fsops.py: added, has usefull shell utils for plain
53 59 win32 installations: icp, imv, imkdir, igrep, irm, collect (collect
54 60 is useful for others as well).
55 61
56 62 * iplib.py: on callable aliases (as opposed to old style aliases),
57 63 do var_expand() immediately, and use make_quoted_expr instead
58 64 of hardcoded r"""
59 65
60 66 * Extensions/ipy_profile_sh.py: Try to detect cygwin on win32,
61 67 if not available load ipy_fsops.py for cp, mv, etc. replacements
62 68
63 69 * OInspect.py, ipy_which.py: improve %which and obj? for callable
64 70 aliases
65 71
66 72 2007-09-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
67 73
68 74 * ipy_profile_zope.py: add zope profile, by Stefan Eletzhofer.
69 75 Relicensed under BSD with the authors approval.
70 76
71 77 * ipmaker.py, usage.py: Remove %magic from default banner, improve
72 78 %quickref
73 79
74 80 2007-09-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
75 81
76 82 * Magic.py: %time now passes expression through prefilter,
77 83 allowing IPython syntax.
78 84
79 85 2007-09-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
80 86
81 87 * ipmaker.py: Always show full traceback when newstyle config fails
82 88
83 89 2007-08-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
84 90
85 91 * Magic.py: fix %cd for nonexistent dir when dhist is empty, close #180
86 92
87 93 2007-08-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
88 94
89 95 * ipmaker.py: Command line args have the highest priority again
90 96
91 97 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: -i command line argument now behaves as in
92 98 normal python, i.e. leaves the IPython session running after -c
93 99 command or running a batch file from command line.
94 100
95 101 2007-08-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
96 102
97 103 * iplib.py: no extra empty (last) line in raw hist w/ multiline
98 104 statements
99 105
100 106 * logger.py: Fix bug where blank lines in history were not
101 107 added until AFTER adding the current line; translated and raw
102 108 history should finally be in sync with prompt now.
103 109
104 110 * ipy_completers.py: quick_completer now makes it easy to create
105 111 trivial custom completers
106 112
107 113 * clearcmd.py: shadow history compression & erasing, fixed input hist
108 114 clearing.
109 115
110 116 * envpersist.py, history.py: %env (sh profile only), %hist completers
111 117
112 118 * genutils.py, Prompts.py, Magic.py: win32 - prompt (with \yDEPTH) and
113 119 term title now include the drive letter, and always use / instead of
114 120 os.sep (as per recommended approach for win32 ipython in general).
115 121
116 122 * ipykit.py, ipy_kitcfg.py: special launcher for ipykit. Allows running
117 123 plain python scripts from ipykit command line by running
118 124 "py myscript.py", even w/o installed python.
119 125
120 126 2007-08-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
121 127
122 128 * ipmaker.py: finding ipythonrc-PROF now skips ipy_profile_PROF.
123 129 (for backwards compatibility)
124 130
125 131 * history.py: switch back to %hist -t from %hist -r as default.
126 132 At least until raw history is fixed for good.
127 133
128 134 2007-08-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
129 135
130 136 * ipapi.py, iplib.py: DebugTools accessible via _ip.dbg, to catch &
131 137 locate alias redeclarations etc. Also, avoid handling
132 138 _ip.IP.alias_table directly, prefer using _ip.defalias.
133 139
134 140
135 141 2007-08-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
136 142
137 143 * prefilter.py: ! is now always served first
138 144
139 145 2007-08-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
140 146
141 147 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): fix the SystemExit
142 148 auto-suppression code to work in Python2.4 (the internal structure
143 149 of that exception changed and I'd only tested the code with 2.5).
144 150 Bug reported by a SciPy attendee.
145 151
146 152 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
147 153
148 154 * prefilter.py: reverted !c:/bin/foo fix, made % in
149 155 multiline specials work again
150 156
151 157 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
152 158
153 159 * prefilter.py: Take more care to special-case !, so that
154 160 !c:/bin/foo.exe works.
155 161
156 162 * setup.py: if we are building eggs, strip all docs and
157 163 examples (it doesn't make sense to bytecompile examples,
158 164 and docs would be in an awkward place anyway).
159 165
160 166 * Ryan Krauss' patch fixes start menu shortcuts when IPython
161 167 is installed into a directory that has spaces in the name.
162 168
163 169 2007-08-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
164 170
165 171 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): fix prompt separators in
166 172 doctest profile and %doctest_mode, so they actually generate the
167 173 blank lines needed by doctest to separate individual tests.
168 174
169 175 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): modify so that running code
170 176 which calls sys.exit(0) (or equivalently, raise SystemExit(0))
171 177 doesn't get a printed traceback. Any other value in sys.exit(),
172 178 including the empty call, still generates a traceback. This
173 179 enables use of %run without having to pass '-e' for codes that
174 180 correctly set the exit status flag.
175 181
176 182 2007-08-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
177 183
178 184 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
179 185 fix problems with doctests failing when run inside IPython due to
180 186 IPython's modifications of sys.displayhook.
181 187
182 188 2007-8-9 Fernando Perez <fperez@planck.colorado.edu>
183 189
184 190 * IPython/ipapi.py (to_user_ns): update to accept a dict as well as
185 191 a string with names.
186 192
187 193 2007-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
188 194
189 195 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): added new %doctest_mode
190 196 magic to toggle on/off the doctest pasting support without having
191 197 to leave a session to switch to a separate profile.
192 198
193 199 2007-08-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
194 200
195 201 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py (main): fix prompt to
196 202 introduce a blank line between inputs, to conform to doctest
197 203 requirements.
198 204
199 205 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix another part where
200 206 auto-generated docstrings for new-style classes were showing up.
201 207
202 208 2007-08-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
203 209
204 210 * api_changes: Add new file to track backward-incompatible
205 211 user-visible changes.
206 212
207 213 2007-08-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
208 214
209 215 * ipmaker.py: fix bug where user_config_ns didn't exist at all
210 216 before all the config files were handled.
211 217
212 218 2007-08-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
213 219
214 220 * IPython/irunner.py (RunnerFactory): Add new factory class for
215 221 creating reusable runners based on filenames.
216 222
217 223 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py: New profile for
218 224 doctest support. It sets prompts/exceptions as similar to
219 225 standard Python as possible, so that ipython sessions in this
220 226 profile can be easily pasted as doctests with minimal
221 227 modifications. It also enables pasting of doctests from external
222 228 sources (even if they have leading whitespace), so that you can
223 229 rerun doctests from existing sources.
224 230
225 231 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix a buglet where after entering
226 232 some whitespace, the prompt would become a continuation prompt
227 233 with no way of exiting it other than Ctrl-C. This fix brings us
228 234 into conformity with how the default python prompt works.
229 235
230 236 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py (prefilter_paste):
231 237 Add support for pasting not only lines that start with '>>>', but
232 238 also with ' >>>'. That is, arbitrary whitespace can now precede
233 239 the prompts. This makes the system useful for pasting doctests
234 240 from docstrings back into a normal session.
235 241
236 242 2007-08-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
237 243
238 244 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): fix bug introduced in
239 245 r1357, which had killed multiple invocations of an embedded
240 246 ipython (this means that example-embed has been broken for over 1
241 247 year!!!). Rather than possibly breaking the batch stuff for which
242 248 the code in iplib.py/interact was introduced, I worked around the
243 249 problem in the embedding class in Shell.py. We really need a
244 250 bloody test suite for this code, I'm sick of finding stuff that
245 251 used to work breaking left and right every time I use an old
246 252 feature I hadn't touched in a few months.
247 253 (kill_embedded): Add a new magic that only shows up in embedded
248 254 mode, to allow users to permanently deactivate an embedded instance.
249 255
250 256 2007-08-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
251 257
252 258 * iplib.py, ipy_profile_sh.py (runlines): Fix the bug where raw
253 259 history gets out of sync on runlines (e.g. when running macros).
254 260
255 261 2007-07-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
256 262
257 263 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_colors): fix win32-related error message
258 264 that could appear under *nix when readline was missing. Patch by
259 265 Scott Jackson, closes #175.
260 266
261 267 2007-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
262 268
263 269 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_traits_completer.py: Add a new custom
264 270 completer that it traits-aware, so that traits objects don't show
265 271 all of their internal attributes all the time.
266 272
267 273 * IPython/genutils.py (dir2): moved this code from inside
268 274 completer.py to expose it publicly, so I could use it in the
269 275 wildcards bugfix.
270 276
271 277 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix a bug reported by
272 278 Stefan with Traits.
273 279
274 280 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): change internal
275 281 var name from 'object' to 'obj', since 'object' is now a builtin
276 282 and this can lead to weird bugs if reusing this code elsewhere.
277 283
278 284 2007-07-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
279 285
280 286 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix small glitches in
281 287 'foo?' and update the code to prevent printing of default
282 288 docstrings that started appearing after I added support for
283 289 new-style classes. The approach I'm using isn't ideal (I just
284 290 special-case those strings) but I'm not sure how to more robustly
285 291 differentiate between truly user-written strings and Python's
286 292 automatic ones.
287 293
288 294 2007-07-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
289 295
290 296 * completer.py: Applied Matthew Neeley's patch:
291 297 Dynamic attributes from trait_names and _getAttributeNames are added
292 298 to the list of tab completions, but when this happens, the attribute
293 299 list is turned into a set, so the attributes are unordered when
294 300 printed, which makes it hard to find the right completion. This patch
295 301 turns this set back into a list and sort it.
296 302
297 303 2007-07-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
298 304
299 305 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add support for new-style
300 306 classes in various inspector functions.
301 307
302 308 2007-06-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
303 309
304 310 * shadowns.py, iplib.py, ipapi.py, OInspect.py:
305 311 Implement "shadow" namespace, and callable aliases that reside there.
306 312 Use them by:
307 313
308 314 _ip.defalias('foo',myfunc) # creates _sh.foo that points to myfunc
309 315
310 316 foo hello world
311 317 (gets translated to:)
312 318 _sh.foo(r"""hello world""")
313 319
314 320 In practice, this kind of alias can take the role of a magic function
315 321
316 322 * New generic inspect_object, called on obj? and obj??
317 323
318 324 2007-06-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
319 325
320 326 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): fix a problem with
321 327 inspect.getfile that can cause crashes during traceback construction.
322 328
323 329 2007-06-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
324 330
325 331 * iplib.py (handle_auto): Try to use ascii for printing "--->"
326 332 autocall rewrite indication, becausesometimes unicode fails to print
327 333 properly (and you get ' - - - '). Use plain uncoloured ---> for
328 334 unicode.
329 335
330 336 * shadow history. Usable through "%hist -g <pat>" and "%rep 0123".
331 337
332 338 . pickleshare 'hash' commands (hget, hset, hcompress,
333 339 hdict) for efficient shadow history storage.
334 340
335 341 2007-06-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
336 342
337 343 * ipapi.py: _ip.to_user_ns(vars, interactive = True).
338 344 Added kw arg 'interactive', tell whether vars should be visible
339 345 with %whos.
340 346
341 347 2007-06-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
342 348
343 349 * pspersistence.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: directory history now saved
344 350 to db
345 351
346 352 * iplib.py: "ipython -c <cmd>" now passes the command through prefilter.
347 353 Also, it exits IPython immediately after evaluating the command (just like
348 354 std python)
349 355
350 356 2007-06-05 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
351 357
352 358 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a new table icap, which executes a
353 359 Python string and captures the output. (Idea and original patch by
354 360 Stefan van der Walt)
355 361
356 362 2007-06-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
357 363
358 364 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): update printing of
359 365 exception types for Python 2.5 (now all exceptions in the stdlib
360 366 are new-style classes).
361 367
362 368 2007-05-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
363 369
364 370 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add new commands refresh and
365 371 refresh_timer (mapped to "R"/"F5" and to the menu) which restarts
366 372 the iterator once (refresh) or after every x seconds (refresh_timer).
367 373 Add a working implementation of "searchexpression", where the text
368 374 entered is not the text to search for, but an expression that must
369 375 be true. Added display of shortcuts to the menu. Added commands "pickinput"
370 376 and "pickinputattr" that put the object or attribute under the cursor
371 377 in the input line. Split the statusbar to be able to display the currently
372 378 active refresh interval. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
373 379
374 380 2007-05-29 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
375 381
376 382 * fixing set_term_title to use ctypes as default
377 383
378 384 * fixing set_term_title fallback to work when curent dir
379 385 is on a windows network share
380 386
381 387 2007-05-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
382 388
383 389 * %cpaste: strip + with > from left (diffs).
384 390
385 391 * iplib.py: Fix crash when readline not installed
386 392
387 393 2007-05-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
388 394
389 395 * generics.py: intruduce easy to extend result_display generic
390 396 function (using simplegeneric.py).
391 397
392 398 * Fixed the append functionality of %set.
393 399
394 400 2007-05-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
395 401
396 402 * New magic: %rep (fetch / run old commands from history)
397 403
398 404 * New extension: mglob (%mglob magic), for powerful glob / find /filter
399 405 like functionality
400 406
401 407 % maghistory.py: %hist -g PATTERM greps the history for pattern
402 408
403 409 2007-05-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
404 410
405 411 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a Table ihist that can be used to
406 412 browse the IPython input history
407 413
408 414 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Added two command to ibrowse: pickinput
409 415 (mapped to "i") can be used to put the object under the curser in the input
410 416 line. pickinputattr (mapped to "I") does the same for the attribute under
411 417 the cursor.
412 418
413 419 2007-05-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
414 420
415 421 * Grand magic cleansing (changeset [2380]):
416 422
417 423 * Introduce ipy_legacy.py where the following magics were
418 424 moved:
419 425
420 426 pdef pdoc psource pfile rehash dhist Quit p r automagic autocall
421 427
422 428 If you need them, either use default profile or "import ipy_legacy"
423 429 in your ipy_user_conf.py
424 430
425 431 * Move sh and scipy profile to Extensions from UserConfig. this implies
426 432 you should not edit them, but you don't need to run %upgrade when
427 433 upgrading IPython anymore.
428 434
429 435 * %hist/%history now operates in "raw" mode by default. To get the old
430 436 behaviour, run '%hist -n' (native mode).
431 437
432 438 * split ipy_stock_completers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py and
433 439 ipy_app_completers.py. Stock completers (%cd, import, %run) are now
434 440 installed as default.
435 441
436 442 * sh profile now installs ipy_signals.py, for (hopefully) better ctrl+c
437 443 handling.
438 444
439 445 * iplib.py, ipapi.py: _ip.set_next_input(s) sets the next ("default")
440 446 input if readline is available.
441 447
442 448 2007-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
443 449
444 450 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
445 451
446 452 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
447 453 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
448 454 no python installation required).
449 455
450 456 * Removed ipythonrc-scipy, ipy_profile_scipy.py takes
451 457 its place.
452 458
453 459 * rlineimpl.py, genutils.py (get_home_dir): py2exe support
454 460
455 461 2007-05-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
456 462
457 463 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
458 464 failure of 'title' system call properly.
459 465
460 466 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
461 467
462 468 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
463 469 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
464 470
465 471 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
466 472
467 473 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
468 474 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
469 475 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
470 476
471 477 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
472 478
473 479 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
474 480 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
475 481
476 482 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
477 483
478 484 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
479 485 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
480 486
481 487 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
482 488 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
483 489
484 490 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
485 491 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
486 492 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
487 493
488 494 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
489 495
490 496 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
491 497 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
492 498 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
493 499 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
494 500
495 501 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
496 502 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
497 503
498 504 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
499 505
500 506 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
501 507 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
502 508 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
503 509 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
504 510
505 511 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
506 512
507 513 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
508 514
509 515 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
510 516 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
511 517
512 518 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
513 519
514 520 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
515 521
516 522 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
517 523
518 524 * iplib.py: (pre_config_initialization) Catch UnicodeDecodeError if the
519 525 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
520 526
521 527 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
522 528
523 529 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
524 530
525 531 * Update version number
526 532
527 533 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
528 534
529 535 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
530 536
531 537 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
532 538 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
533 539 bug discovered by Ville).
534 540
535 541 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
536 542
537 543 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
538 544 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
539 545
540 546 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
541 547
542 548
543 549 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
544 550
545 551 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
546 552 Closes #149.
547 553
548 554 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
549 555 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
550 556 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
551 557
552 558 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
553 559
554 560 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
555 561 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
556 562 allows wildcards.
557 563
558 564 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
559 565 as opposed to returning nothing.
560 566
561 567 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
562 568 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
563 569
564 570 2007-04-22 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
565 571
566 572 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
567 573 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
568 574
569 575 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
570 576
571 577 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
572 578 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
573 579
574 580 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
575 581
576 582 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
577 583 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
578 584 IPython instance.
579 585
580 586 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
581 587
582 588 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
583 589 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
584 590 'Iptl' template notation,
585 591
586 592 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
587 593 safer & faster 'import' completer.
588 594
589 595 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
590 596 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
591 597
592 598 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
593 599 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
594 600 defmacro() etc.)
595 601
596 602 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
597 603
598 604 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
599 605
600 606 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
601 607
602 608 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
603 609
604 610 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
605 611 and later on win32.
606 612
607 613 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
608 614
609 615 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
610 616
611 617 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
612 618
613 619 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
614 620 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
615 621
616 622 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
617 623
618 624 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
619 625
620 626 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
621 627
622 628 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
623 629
624 630 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
625 631
626 632 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
627 633 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
628 634 every %run call.
629 635
630 636 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
631 637 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
632 638 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
633 639
634 640 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
635 641
636 642 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
637 643 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
638 644 Stefan for the fix.
639 645
640 646 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
641 647 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
642 648 him.
643 649
644 650 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
645 651 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
646 652 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
647 653 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
648 654
649 655 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
650 656 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
651 657 each runcode access.
652 658
653 659 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
654 660 message.
655 661
656 662 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
657 663
658 664 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
659 665 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
660 666 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
661 667
662 668 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
663 669 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
664 670 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
665 671 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
666 672 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
667 673 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
668 674 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
669 675 anything up until we know if it actually works.
670 676
671 677 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
672 678 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
673 679 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
674 680 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
675 681 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
676 682
677 683 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
678 684
679 685 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
680 686 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
681 687 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
682 688
683 689 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
684 690
685 691 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
686 692 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
687 693 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
688 694
689 695 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
690 696
691 697 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
692 698 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
693 699 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
694 700 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
695 701 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
696 702
697 703 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
698 704
699 705 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
700 706 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
701 707
702 708 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
703 709 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
704 710 details in comments left in the code.
705 711
706 712 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
707 713 similar to what we had for Numeric.
708 714
709 715 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
710 716 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
711 717 than readline. Closes #109.
712 718
713 719 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
714 720 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
715 721
716 722 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
717 723
718 724 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
719 725 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
720 726 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
721 727 ongoing Unicode support work.
722 728
723 729 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
724 730 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
725 731 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
726 732 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
727 733
728 734 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
729 735
730 736 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
731 737 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
732 738
733 739 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
734 740
735 741 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
736 742 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
737 743 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
738 744
739 745 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
740 746
741 747 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
742 748 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
743 749 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
744 750 long definition lines for functions.
745 751
746 752 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
747 753
748 754 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
749 755 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
750 756 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
751 757 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
752 758
753 759 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
754 760
755 761 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
756 762
757 763 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
758 764
759 765 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
760 766 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
761 767 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
762 768
763 769 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
764 770 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
765 771
766 772 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
767 773 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
768 774
769 775 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
770 776
771 777 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
772 778 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
773 779 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
774 780
775 781 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
776 782
777 783 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
778 784 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
779 785
780 786 2007-03-20 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
781 787 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
782 788 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
783 789 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
784 790 sometimes return "" as last element.
785 791
786 792 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
787 793
788 794 * IPython/completer.py
789 795 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
790 796 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
791 797 would be completed too early.
792 798
793 799 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
794 800 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
795 801 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
796 802 backwards compatibility.
797 803
798 804 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
799 805 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
800 806 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
801 807 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
802 808 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
803 809 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
804 810 also works when debugging.
805 811
806 812 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
807 813 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
808 814
809 815 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
810 816 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
811 817 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
812 818
813 819 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
814 820 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
815 821 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
816 822
817 823 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
818 824 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
819 825
820 826 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
821 827
822 828 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
823 829 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
824 830 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
825 831
826 832 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
827 833
828 834 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
829 835 to be installed alongside igrid.
830 836 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
831 837 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
832 838 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
833 839
834 840 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
835 841
836 842 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
837 843 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
838 844 Jorgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
839 845
840 846 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
841 847
842 848 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
843 849 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
844 850
845 851 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
846 852 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
847 853
848 854 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
849 855
850 856 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
851 857 as the default browser.
852 858 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
853 859 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
854 860 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
855 861 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
856 862
857 863 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
858 864
859 865 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
860 866 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
861 867 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
862 868
863 869 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
864 870
865 871 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
866 872 Close help window if exiting igrid.
867 873
868 874 2007-03-02 Jorgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
869 875
870 876 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
871 877 before calling functions from readline.
872 878
873 879 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
874 880
875 881 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
876 882 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
877 883 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
878 884 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
879 885 falls back to idump.
880 886
881 887 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
882 888
883 889 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
884 890 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
885 891 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
886 892 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
887 893
888 894 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
889 895
890 896 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
891 897 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
892 898 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
893 899 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
894 900 %magic with explicit % prefix.
895 901
896 902 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
897 903
898 904 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
899 905 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
900 906
901 907 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
902 908
903 909 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
904 910 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
905 911 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
906 912 one wants those instead.
907 913
908 914 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
909 915 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
910 916 instead.
911 917
912 918 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
913 919
914 920 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
915 921 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
916 922 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
917 923 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
918 924
919 925 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
920 926
921 927 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
922 928 stop marks.
923 929 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
924 930 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
925 931 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
926 932
927 933 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
928 934
929 935 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
930 936 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
931 937 sumbmitted to upstream.
932 938
933 939 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
934 940
935 941 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
936 942 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
937 943 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
938 944 running into an empty levels list later.
939 945
940 946 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
941 947
942 948 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
943 949 for the noitem object.
944 950
945 951 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
946 952
947 953 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
948 954 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
949 955 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
950 956 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
951 957
952 958 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
953 959
954 960 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
955 961 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
956 962 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
957 963 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
958 964 filenames.
959 965
960 966 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
961 967 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
962 968 out-of-process ipython code.
963 969
964 970 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
965 971 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
966 972 doctesting.
967 973
968 974 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
969 975
970 976 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
971 977
972 978 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
973 979 not being correctly recognized.
974 980
975 981 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
976 982
977 983 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
978 984 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
979 985 only item.
980 986
981 987 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
982 988 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
983 989 infinite recursion for one line strings).
984 990
985 991 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
986 992
987 993 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
988 994 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
989 995 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
990 996
991 997 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
992 998
993 999 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
994 1000 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
995 1001 "%env VISUAL=jed".
996 1002
997 1003 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
998 1004
999 1005 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
1000 1006 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
1001 1007 but I'm not exactly sure why).
1002 1008
1003 1009 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
1004 1010 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
1005 1011
1006 1012 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1007 1013
1008 1014 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
1009 1015 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
1010 1016
1011 1017 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
1012 1018 the time during IPython startup is spent.
1013 1019
1014 1020 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1015 1021
1016 1022 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
1017 1023
1018 1024 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
1019 1025
1020 1026 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
1021 1027
1022 1028 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1023 1029
1024 1030 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
1025 1031 to work properly on posix too
1026 1032
1027 1033 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
1028 1034
1029 1035 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1030 1036
1031 1037 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
1032 1038 prefix + "/scripts".
1033 1039
1034 1040 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
1035 1041
1036 1042 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1037 1043
1038 1044 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
1039 1045 if they already exist
1040 1046
1041 1047 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
1042 1048
1043 1049 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1044 1050
1045 1051 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
1046 1052
1047 1053 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1048 1054
1049 1055 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
1050 1056 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
1051 1057 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
1052 1058
1053 1059 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1054 1060
1055 1061 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
1056 1062 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
1057 1063 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
1058 1064
1059 1065 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
1060 1066 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
1061 1067 in ipy_user_conf.py
1062 1068
1063 1069
1064 1070 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
1065 1071 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
1066 1072 as IPython script.
1067 1073
1068 1074 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
1069 1075
1070 1076 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1071 1077
1072 1078 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
1073 1079 is called before any exception has occurred.
1074 1080
1075 1081 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1076 1082
1077 1083 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
1078 1084 to translate /'s to \'s again.
1079 1085
1080 1086 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
1081 1087 backslash.
1082 1088
1083 1089 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
1084 1090
1085 1091 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1086 1092
1087 1093 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
1088 1094 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
1089 1095 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
1090 1096
1091 1097 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
1092 1098 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
1093 1099
1094 1100 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
1095 1101 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
1096 1102
1097 1103 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
1098 1104
1099 1105 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1100 1106
1101 1107 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
1102 1108 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
1103 1109
1104 1110 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1105 1111 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
1106 1112 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
1107 1113 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
1108 1114 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
1109 1115 mapped to "%" now.
1110 1116 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
1111 1117
1112 1118 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1113 1119
1114 1120 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
1115 1121 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
1116 1122 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
1117 1123 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
1118 1124
1119 1125 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1120 1126
1121 1127 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
1122 1128 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
1123 1129 for shell escapes.
1124 1130
1125 1131 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1126 1132
1127 1133 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
1128 1134 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
1129 1135 vcs_completer.
1130 1136
1131 1137 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1132 1138
1133 1139 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
1134 1140 directly instead!
1135 1141
1136 1142 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
1137 1143
1138 1144 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
1139 1145 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
1140 1146
1141 1147 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
1142 1148 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
1143 1149 explicit.
1144 1150
1145 1151 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
1146 1152 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
1147 1153
1148 1154 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
1149 1155
1150 1156 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
1151 1157
1152 1158 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1153 1159 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
1154 1160 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
1155 1161 implementation for Text is useless.
1156 1162
1157 1163 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
1158 1164
1159 1165 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
1160 1166
1161 1167 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1162 1168
1163 1169 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
1164 1170 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
1165 1171 "profile"
1166 1172
1167 1173 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1168 1174
1169 1175 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
1170 1176 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
1171 1177
1172 1178 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
1173 1179 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
1174 1180
1175 1181
1176 1182 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1177 1183 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
1178 1184 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
1179 1185
1180 1186 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1181 1187
1182 1188 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
1183 1189 with one from UserConfig.
1184 1190
1185 1191 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
1186 1192 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
1187 1193
1188 1194 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
1189 1195 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
1190 1196 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
1191 1197
1192 1198 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
1193 1199
1194 1200 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
1195 1201
1196 1202 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
1197 1203
1198 1204 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
1199 1205
1200 1206 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
1201 1207
1202 1208 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
1203 1209
1204 1210 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
1205 1211
1206 1212 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1207 1213
1208 1214 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
1209 1215 by eval of expr with dots.
1210 1216
1211 1217 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1212 1218
1213 1219 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
1214 1220 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
1215 1221 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
1216 1222 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
1217 1223 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
1218 1224 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
1219 1225
1220 1226 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1221 1227
1222 1228 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
1223 1229 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
1224 1230 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
1225 1231
1226 1232 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
1227 1233 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
1228 1234 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
1229 1235 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
1230 1236 funtionality in ipconfig.
1231 1237
1232 1238 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
1233 1239 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
1234 1240 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
1235 1241 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
1236 1242
1237 1243 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1238 1244
1239 1245 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
1240 1246 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
1241 1247 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
1242 1248 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
1243 1249 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
1244 1250 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
1245 1251 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
1246 1252 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
1247 1253 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
1248 1254 descriptors.
1249 1255
1250 1256 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
1251 1257 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
1252 1258
1253 1259 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
1254 1260 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
1255 1261
1256 1262 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
1257 1263
1258 1264 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
1259 1265
1260 1266 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1261 1267
1262 1268 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
1263 1269 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
1264 1270 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
1265 1271
1266 1272 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
1267 1273 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
1268 1274 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
1269 1275
1270 1276 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1271 1277 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
1272 1278 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
1273 1279 ipy_stock_completers.
1274 1280
1275 1281 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1276 1282
1277 1283 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
1278 1284
1279 1285 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
1280 1286 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
1281 1287 when filtering possible completions.
1282 1288
1283 1289 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
1284 1290
1285 1291 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
1286 1292 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
1287 1293 function
1288 1294
1289 1295
1290 1296 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1291 1297
1292 1298 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
1293 1299 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
1294 1300 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
1295 1301 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
1296 1302 SVN completer.
1297 1303
1298 1304 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
1299 1305 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
1300 1306 name is %led.
1301 1307
1302 1308 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1303 1309
1304 1310 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
1305 1311 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
1306 1312 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
1307 1313
1308 1314 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
1309 1315 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
1310 1316 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
1311 1317 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
1312 1318 hook name is 'complete_command'.
1313 1319
1314 1320 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1315 1321
1316 1322 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
1317 1323 Numeric leftovers.
1318 1324
1319 1325 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
1320 1326 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
1321 1327
1322 1328 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
1323 1329 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
1324 1330
1325 1331 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
1326 1332 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
1327 1333
1328 1334 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
1329 1335 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
1330 1336 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
1331 1337
1332 1338 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1333 1339
1334 1340 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
1335 1341 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
1336 1342 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
1337 1343
1338 1344 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
1339 1345 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
1340 1346
1341 1347 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1342 1348
1343 1349 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
1344 1350 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
1345 1351 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
1346 1352
1347 1353 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1348 1354
1349 1355 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
1350 1356 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
1351 1357 internal crash handler.
1352 1358
1353 1359 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
1354 1360 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
1355 1361 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
1356 1362 at the request of SAGE.
1357 1363
1358 1364 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1359 1365
1360 1366 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
1361 1367 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
1362 1368
1363 1369 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
1364 1370 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
1365 1371 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
1366 1372 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
1367 1373
1368 1374 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
1369 1375 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
1370 1376 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
1371 1377
1372 1378 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1373 1379
1374 1380 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
1375 1381 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
1376 1382 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
1377 1383
1378 1384 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
1379 1385 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
1380 1386
1381 1387 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1382 1388
1383 1389 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
1384 1390 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
1385 1391 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
1386 1392 Stefan.
1387 1393
1388 1394 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1389 1395
1390 1396 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
1391 1397 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
1392 1398 sys.stdout.close().
1393 1399
1394 1400 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1395 1401
1396 1402 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
1397 1403 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
1398 1404 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
1399 1405 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
1400 1406
1401 1407 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
1402 1408 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
1403 1409 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
1404 1410
1405 1411 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
1406 1412 2.5.
1407 1413
1408 1414 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
1409 1415 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
1410 1416 interactively.
1411 1417
1412 1418 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1413 1419
1414 1420 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
1415 1421 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
1416 1422
1417 1423 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1418 1424
1419 1425 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
1420 1426 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
1421 1427 or only files.
1422 1428
1423 1429 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1424 1430
1425 1431 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
1426 1432 they broke unittest
1427 1433
1428 1434 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1429 1435
1430 1436 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
1431 1437 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
1432 1438 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
1433 1439 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
1434 1440
1435 1441 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1436 1442
1437 1443 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
1438 1444 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
1439 1445 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
1440 1446 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
1441 1447 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
1442 1448
1443 1449 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1444 1450
1445 1451 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
1446 1452 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
1447 1453
1448 1454 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1449 1455
1450 1456 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1451 1457 the mode argument).
1452 1458
1453 1459 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1454 1460
1455 1461 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1456 1462 not running under IPython.
1457 1463
1458 1464 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1459 1465 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1460 1466 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1461 1467 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1462 1468 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1463 1469 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1464 1470 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1465 1471 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1466 1472 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1467 1473 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1468 1474 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1469 1475 are still supported.
1470 1476
1471 1477 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1472 1478 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1473 1479 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1474 1480 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1475 1481
1476 1482 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1477 1483 encoding into methods.
1478 1484
1479 1485 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1480 1486
1481 1487 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1482 1488 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1483 1489
1484 1490 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1485 1491
1486 1492 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1487 1493 non existing attributes.
1488 1494
1489 1495 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1490 1496
1491 1497 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1492 1498 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1493 1499
1494 1500 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1495 1501
1496 1502 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1497 1503 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1498 1504
1499 1505 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1500 1506
1501 1507 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1502 1508 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1503 1509 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1504 1510
1505 1511 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1506 1512
1507 1513 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1508 1514 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1509 1515 Stefan van der Walt.
1510 1516
1511 1517 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1512 1518
1513 1519 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1514 1520 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1515 1521
1516 1522 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1517 1523
1518 1524 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1519 1525 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1520 1526 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1521 1527
1522 1528 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1523 1529
1524 1530 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1525 1531 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1526 1532 attributes.
1527 1533
1528 1534 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1529 1535
1530 1536 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1531 1537 commands into the methods implementing them.
1532 1538
1533 1539 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1534 1540
1535 1541 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1536 1542 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1537 1543 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1538 1544
1539 1545 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1540 1546
1541 1547 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1542 1548 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1543 1549
1544 1550 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1545 1551
1546 1552 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1547 1553 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1548 1554
1549 1555 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1550 1556
1551 1557 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1552 1558 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1553 1559 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1554 1560 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1555 1561 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1556 1562 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1557 1563 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1558 1564 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1559 1565 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1560 1566 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1561 1567 the x key to "delete".
1562 1568
1563 1569 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1564 1570
1565 1571 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1566 1572 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1567 1573 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1568 1574 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1569 1575
1570 1576 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1571 1577 prompt
1572 1578
1573 1579 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1574 1580
1575 1581 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1576 1582
1577 1583 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1578 1584 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1579 1585 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1580 1586 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1581 1587
1582 1588 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1583 1589
1584 1590 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1585 1591 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1586 1592 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1587 1593 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1588 1594 doesn't work properly yet.
1589 1595
1590 1596 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1591 1597
1592 1598 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1593 1599 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1594 1600 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1595 1601
1596 1602 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1597 1603
1598 1604 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1599 1605 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1600 1606 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1601 1607 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1602 1608 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1603 1609 execute commands.
1604 1610
1605 1611 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1606 1612
1607 1613 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1608 1614 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1609 1615
1610 1616 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1611 1617
1612 1618 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1613 1619 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1614 1620
1615 1621 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1616 1622
1617 1623 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1618 1624 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1619 1625 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1620 1626
1621 1627 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1622 1628
1623 1629 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1624 1630
1625 1631 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1626 1632 Repo tagged and release cut.
1627 1633
1628 1634 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1629 1635
1630 1636 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1631 1637 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1632 1638
1633 1639 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1634 1640 (for %upgrade)
1635 1641
1636 1642 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1637 1643
1638 1644 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1639 1645 instead of looping 20 times.
1640 1646
1641 1647 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1642 1648 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1643 1649 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1644 1650
1645 1651 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1646 1652 testing for release on 06/06.
1647 1653
1648 1654 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1649 1655
1650 1656 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1651 1657 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1652 1658 live in people's PATH.
1653 1659
1654 1660 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1655 1661 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1656 1662 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1657 1663 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1658 1664 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1659 1665
1660 1666 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1661 1667 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1662 1668
1663 1669 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1664 1670
1665 1671 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1666 1672 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1667 1673
1668 1674 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1669 1675
1670 1676 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1671 1677 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1672 1678 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1673 1679
1674 1680 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1675 1681
1676 1682 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1677 1683 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1678 1684 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1679 1685 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1680 1686
1681 1687 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1682 1688 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1683 1689 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1684 1690 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1685 1691
1686 1692 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1687 1693 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1688 1694 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1689 1695 work.
1690 1696
1691 1697 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1692 1698
1693 1699 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1694 1700 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1695 1701
1696 1702 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1697 1703 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1698 1704 author William Stein.
1699 1705
1700 1706 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1701 1707 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1702 1708 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1703 1709 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1704 1710 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1705 1711 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1706 1712 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1707 1713 objects more easily.
1708 1714
1709 1715 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1710 1716
1711 1717 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1712 1718 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1713 1719 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1714 1720 by Jeffrey Collins.
1715 1721
1716 1722 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1717 1723 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1718 1724 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1719 1725 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1720 1726
1721 1727 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1722 1728 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1723 1729 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1724 1730 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1725 1731
1726 1732 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1727 1733 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1728 1734 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1729 1735 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1730 1736 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1731 1737 compatibility)
1732 1738
1733 1739 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1734 1740 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1735 1741 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1736 1742
1737 1743 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1738 1744 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1739 1745 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1740 1746 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1741 1747 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1742 1748
1743 1749 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1744 1750 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1745 1751 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1746 1752
1747 1753 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1748 1754 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1749 1755 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1750 1756 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1751 1757 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1752 1758 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1753 1759 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1754 1760
1755 1761 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1756 1762 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1757 1763 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1758 1764
1759 1765 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1760 1766 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1761 1767 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1762 1768
1763 1769 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1764 1770 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1765 1771
1766 1772 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1767 1773
1768 1774 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1769 1775 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1770 1776 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1771 1777 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1772 1778 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1773 1779 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1774 1780 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1775 1781 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1776 1782 while running under SAGE.
1777 1783
1778 1784 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1779 1785
1780 1786 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1781 1787 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1782 1788 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1783 1789 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1784 1790
1785 1791 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1786 1792
1787 1793 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1788 1794 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1789 1795 updated.
1790 1796
1791 1797 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1792 1798 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1793 1799 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1794 1800 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1795 1801 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1796 1802
1797 1803 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1798 1804 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1799 1805 so more testing is needed...
1800 1806
1801 1807 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1802 1808
1803 1809 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1804 1810 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1805 1811 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1806 1812 when doing complex debugging.
1807 1813 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1808 1814 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1809 1815 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1810 1816 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1811 1817
1812 1818 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1813 1819
1814 1820 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1815 1821 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1816 1822 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1817 1823 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1818 1824
1819 1825 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1820 1826
1821 1827 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1822 1828 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1823 1829
1824 1830 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1825 1831
1826 1832 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1827 1833 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1828 1834 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1829 1835 been the one to acquire it.
1830 1836
1831 1837 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1832 1838
1833 1839 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1834 1840
1835 1841 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1836 1842
1837 1843 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1838 1844 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1839 1845 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1840 1846
1841 1847 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1842 1848 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1843 1849 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1844 1850 properly flush the output cache.
1845 1851
1846 1852 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1847 1853 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1848 1854
1849 1855 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1850 1856
1851 1857 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1852 1858 are quoted
1853 1859
1854 1860 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1855 1861
1856 1862 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1857 1863 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1858 1864
1859 1865 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1860 1866 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1861 1867
1862 1868 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1863 1869
1864 1870 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1865 1871 %upgrade magic
1866 1872
1867 1873 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1868 1874
1869 1875 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1870 1876 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1871 1877 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1872 1878
1873 1879 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1874 1880
1875 1881 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1876 1882 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1877 1883
1878 1884 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1879 1885 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1880 1886 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1881 1887 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1882 1888 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1883 1889
1884 1890 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1885 1891
1886 1892 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1887 1893 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1888 1894
1889 1895 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1890 1896
1891 1897 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1892 1898 Torsten Marek.
1893 1899
1894 1900 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1895 1901
1896 1902 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1897 1903 line ranges works again.
1898 1904
1899 1905 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1900 1906
1901 1907 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1902 1908 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1903 1909 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1904 1910 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1905 1911 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1906 1912
1907 1913 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1908 1914 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1909 1915 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1910 1916 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1911 1917 more.
1912 1918
1913 1919 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1914 1920
1915 1921 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1916 1922 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1917 1923
1918 1924 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1919 1925
1920 1926 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1921 1927 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1922 1928
1923 1929 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1924 1930
1925 1931 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1926 1932
1927 1933 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1928 1934
1929 1935 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1930 1936
1931 1937 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1932 1938 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1933 1939 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1934 1940
1935 1941 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1936 1942
1937 1943 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1938 1944 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1939 1945 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1940 1946 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1941 1947
1942 1948 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1943 1949 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1944 1950
1945 1951 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1946 1952 contributed by marienz to close
1947 1953 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1948 1954
1949 1955 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1950 1956
1951 1957 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1952 1958
1953 1959 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1954 1960 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1955 1961 nonsense.
1956 1962
1957 1963 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1958 1964
1959 1965 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1960 1966 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1961 1967
1962 1968 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1963 1969
1964 1970 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1965 1971
1966 1972 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1967 1973 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1968 1974
1969 1975 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1970 1976
1971 1977 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1972 1978 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1973 1979 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1974 1980 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1975 1981 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1976 1982 SAGE team.
1977 1983 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1978 1984 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1979 1985
1980 1986 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1981 1987 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1982 1988 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1983 1989 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1984 1990 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1985 1991
1986 1992 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1987 1993
1988 1994 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1989 1995 correctly now (on Linux)
1990 1996
1991 1997 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1992 1998 warnings
1993 1999
1994 2000 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1995 2001
1996 2002 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1997 2003
1998 2004
1999 2005 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2000 2006
2001 2007 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
2002 2008 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
2003 2009 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
2004 2010 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
2005 2011 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
2006 2012 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
2007 2013 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
2008 2014 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
2009 2015
2010 2016 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
2011 2017
2012 2018 * aliases can now be %store'd
2013 2019
2014 2020 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
2015 2021 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
2016 2022 at __init__.
2017 2023
2018 2024 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
2019 2025 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
2020 2026
2021 2027 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2022 2028
2023 2029 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
2024 2030 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
2025 2031 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
2026 2032
2027 2033 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2028 2034
2029 2035 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
2030 2036
2031 2037 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2032 2038
2033 2039 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
2034 2040 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
2035 2041 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
2036 2042 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
2037 2043
2038 2044 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
2039 2045 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
2040 2046
2041 2047 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2042 2048
2043 2049 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
2044 2050 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
2045 2051 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
2046 2052 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
2047 2053
2048 2054 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
2049 2055 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
2050 2056 usage.
2051 2057
2052 2058 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
2053 2059 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
2054 2060 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
2055 2061
2056 2062 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
2057 2063
2058 2064 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
2059 2065 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
2060 2066
2061 2067 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
2062 2068 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
2063 2069 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
2064 2070
2065 2071 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
2066 2072
2067 2073 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
2068 2074
2069 2075 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
2070 2076
2071 2077 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
2072 2078 are now more helpful:
2073 2079 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
2074 2080
2075 2081 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2076 2082
2077 2083 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
2078 2084 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
2079 2085
2080 2086 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2081 2087
2082 2088 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
2083 2089 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
2084 2090
2085 2091 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
2086 2092 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
2087 2093 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
2088 2094
2089 2095 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
2090 2096
2091 2097
2092 2098 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2093 2099
2094 2100 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
2095 2101 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
2096 2102
2097 2103 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
2098 2104
2099 2105 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
2100 2106 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
2101 2107 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
2102 2108 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
2103 2109 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
2104 2110 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
2105 2111
2106 2112 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2107 2113
2108 2114 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2109 2115 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2110 2116 \python24\scripts).
2111 2117
2112 2118 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2113 2119 egg.
2114 2120
2115 2121 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2116 2122
2117 2123 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
2118 2124
2119 2125 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2120 2126
2121 2127 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
2122 2128
2123 2129 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2124 2130
2125 2131 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2126 2132 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2127 2133 \python24\scripts).
2128 2134
2129 2135 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2130 2136 egg.
2131 2137
2132 2138 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2133 2139
2134 2140 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
2135 2141 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
2136 2142 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
2137 2143
2138 2144 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
2139 2145 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
2140 2146 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
2141 2147 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
2142 2148
2143 2149 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
2144 2150 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
2145 2151 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
2146 2152 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
2147 2153 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
2148 2154 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
2149 2155 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
2150 2156 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
2151 2157 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
2152 2158 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
2153 2159 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
2154 2160 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
2155 2161
2156 2162 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2157 2163
2158 2164 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
2159 2165 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
2160 2166 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
2161 2167 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
2162 2168
2163 2169 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2164 2170
2165 2171 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
2166 2172 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
2167 2173 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
2168 2174 importing extensions easy.
2169 2175
2170 2176 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
2171 2177 classes / instances of those classes.
2172 2178
2173 2179 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
2174 2180 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
2175 2181 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
2176 2182 the user.
2177 2183
2178 2184 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
2179 2185 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
2180 2186 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
2181 2187
2182 2188 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2183 2189
2184 2190 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
2185 2191 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
2186 2192 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
2187 2193 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
2188 2194 others may also catch any problems. Also made
2189 2195 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
2190 2196 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
2191 2197 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
2192 2198 the method.
2193 2199
2194 2200 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2195 2201
2196 2202 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
2197 2203 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
2198 2204
2199 2205 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2200 2206
2201 2207 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
2202 2208 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
2203 2209 Vivian.
2204 2210
2205 2211 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
2206 2212 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
2207 2213 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
2208 2214 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
2209 2215 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
2210 2216
2211 2217 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2212 2218
2213 2219 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
2214 2220 that returns file contents on exit.
2215 2221
2216 2222 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
2217 2223 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
2218 2224 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
2219 2225 sc files=ls
2220 2226 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
2221 2227 print p,p.mtime
2222 2228
2223 2229 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
2224 2230 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
2225 2231 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
2226 2232 instead of syntax error.
2227 2233
2228 2234
2229 2235 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2230 2236
2231 2237 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
2232 2238 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
2233 2239 data.
2234 2240
2235 2241 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
2236 2242 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
2237 2243 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
2238 2244 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
2239 2245
2240 2246 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
2241 2247 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
2242 2248 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
2243 2249 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
2244 2250 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
2245 2251 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
2246 2252
2247 2253 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2248 2254
2249 2255 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
2250 2256 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
2251 2257 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
2252 2258 current dir.
2253 2259
2254 2260 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
2255 2261 had to create new files.
2256 2262
2257 2263 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
2258 2264 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
2259 2265 future.
2260 2266
2261 2267 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
2262 2268 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
2263 2269 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
2264 2270
2265 2271
2266 2272 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2267 2273
2268 2274 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
2269 2275 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
2270 2276 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
2271 2277 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
2272 2278 later.
2273 2279
2274 2280 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
2275 2281 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
2276 2282
2277 2283 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2278 2284
2279 2285 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
2280 2286 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
2281 2287 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
2282 2288 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
2283 2289 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
2284 2290 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
2285 2291
2286 2292 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2287 2293
2288 2294 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
2289 2295 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
2290 2296 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
2291 2297 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
2292 2298 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
2293 2299 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
2294 2300 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
2295 2301 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
2296 2302 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
2297 2303 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
2298 2304
2299 2305 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
2300 2306 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
2301 2307 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
2302 2308 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
2303 2309
2304 2310 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
2305 2311 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
2306 2312 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
2307 2313 "setup.py install" between changes).
2308 2314
2309 2315 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
2310 2316 if 1:
2311 2317 !ls
2312 2318 !!ls
2313 2319
2314 2320 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2315 2321
2316 2322 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
2317 2323 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
2318 2324 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
2319 2325 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
2320 2326
2321 2327 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
2322 2328 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
2323 2329 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
2324 2330
2325 2331 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2326 2332
2327 2333 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
2328 2334 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
2329 2335 win32.
2330 2336
2331 2337 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
2332 2338
2333 2339 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2334 2340
2335 2341 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
2336 2342 ready for release.
2337 2343
2338 2344 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
2339 2345 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
2340 2346 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
2341 2347 where to copy the info from.
2342 2348
2343 2349 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2344 2350
2345 2351 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
2346 2352 support in the release tools as well.
2347 2353
2348 2354 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2349 2355
2350 2356 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
2351 2357 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
2352 2358 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
2353 2359 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
2354 2360
2355 2361 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2356 2362 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
2357 2363 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
2358 2364
2359 2365 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
2360 2366 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
2361 2367
2362 2368 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
2363 2369 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
2364 2370 printer not to work.
2365 2371
2366 2372 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2367 2373
2368 2374 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
2369 2375 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
2370 2376
2371 2377 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2372 2378
2373 2379 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
2374 2380 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
2375 2381 Moad for help with tracking it down.
2376 2382
2377 2383 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
2378 2384 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
2379 2385 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
2380 2386
2381 2387 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
2382 2388 Ville's patch.
2383 2389
2384 2390 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2385 2391
2386 2392 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
2387 2393 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
2388 2394 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
2389 2395 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
2390 2396 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
2391 2397 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
2392 2398 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
2393 2399
2394 2400 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
2395 2401 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
2396 2402 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
2397 2403
2398 2404 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2399 2405
2400 2406 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
2401 2407 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
2402 2408
2403 2409 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
2404 2410 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
2405 2411 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
2406 2412 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
2407 2413 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
2408 2414 twister).
2409 2415
2410 2416 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
2411 2417 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
2412 2418 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
2413 2419
2414 2420 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
2415 2421 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
2416 2422 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
2417 2423 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
2418 2424 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
2419 2425 something inside the dis module.
2420 2426
2421 2427 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2422 2428
2423 2429 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
2424 2430 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
2425 2431 follows the discussion in
2426 2432 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
2427 2433
2428 2434 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
2429 2435 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
2430 2436 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
2431 2437
2432 2438 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
2433 2439 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
2434 2440 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
2435 2441
2436 2442 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
2437 2443 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
2438 2444 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
2439 2445 speed up this routine.
2440 2446
2441 2447 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
2442 2448 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
2443 2449 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
2444 2450 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
2445 2451 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
2446 2452 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
2447 2453 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
2448 2454 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
2449 2455
2450 2456 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2451 2457 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2452 2458 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2453 2459
2454 2460 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2455 2461 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2456 2462 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2457 2463 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2458 2464 setters don't do anything).
2459 2465
2460 2466 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2461 2467
2462 2468 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2463 2469 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2464 2470 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2465 2471 falling out of sync...)
2466 2472
2467 2473 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2468 2474 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2469 2475 as loops).
2470 2476
2471 2477 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2472 2478 win32 system access.
2473 2479
2474 2480 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2475 2481
2476 2482 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2477 2483 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2478 2484 thread-safe.
2479 2485 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2480 2486 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2481 2487 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2482 2488 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2483 2489 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2484 2490 can still happen.
2485 2491 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2486 2492 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2487 2493 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2488 2494 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2489 2495 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2490 2496 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2491 2497 cleanly.
2492 2498
2493 2499 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2494 2500 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2495 2501 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2496 2502 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2497 2503 users' persisted data.
2498 2504
2499 2505 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2500 2506 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2501 2507 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2502 2508 multiline input (such as macros).
2503 2509
2504 2510 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2505 2511 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2506 2512 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2507 2513 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2508 2514 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2509 2515 informative).
2510 2516
2511 2517 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2512 2518 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2513 2519
2514 2520 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2515 2521 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2516 2522 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2517 2523
2518 2524 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2519 2525 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2520 2526 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2521 2527 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2522 2528 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2523 2529 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2524 2530 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2525 2531 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2526 2532 details.
2527 2533
2528 2534 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2529 2535 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2530 2536 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2531 2537 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2532 2538 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2533 2539
2534 2540 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2535 2541 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2536 2542 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2537 2543 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2538 2544 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2539 2545
2540 2546 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2541 2547 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2542 2548 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2543 2549 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2544 2550 options to %logstart. Closes
2545 2551 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2546 2552 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2547 2553
2548 2554 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2549 2555
2550 2556 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2551 2557 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2552 2558 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2553 2559 list:
2554 2560 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2555 2561
2556 2562 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2557 2563
2558 2564 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2559 2565 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2560 2566 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2561 2567 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2562 2568
2563 2569 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2564 2570 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2565 2571 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2566 2572 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2567 2573 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2568 2574
2569 2575 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2570 2576 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2571 2577 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2572 2578 true by default.
2573 2579
2574 2580 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2575 2581 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2576 2582 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2577 2583 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2578 2584
2579 2585 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2580 2586
2581 2587 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2582 2588 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2583 2589 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2584 2590 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2585 2591 version committed).
2586 2592
2587 2593 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2588 2594 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2589 2595 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2590 2596 discussion on the user list.
2591 2597
2592 2598 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2593 2599 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2594 2600 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2595 2601 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2596 2602
2597 2603 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2598 2604
2599 2605 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2600 2606 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2601 2607 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2602 2608
2603 2609 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2604 2610 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2605 2611 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2606 2612
2607 2613 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2608 2614 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2609 2615 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2610 2616 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2611 2617 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2612 2618 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2613 2619 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2614 2620 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2615 2621 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2616 2622 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2617 2623 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2618 2624 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2619 2625 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2620 2626 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2621 2627 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2622 2628 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2623 2629 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2624 2630 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2625 2631 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2626 2632 branch refactoring.
2627 2633
2628 2634 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2629 2635
2630 2636 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2631 2637 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2632 2638
2633 2639 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2634 2640 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2635 2641 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2636 2642 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2637 2643 worked correctly).
2638 2644
2639 2645 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2640 2646 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2641 2647 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2642 2648
2643 2649 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2644 2650
2645 2651 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2646 2652 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2647 2653 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2648 2654 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2649 2655 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2650 2656 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2651 2657 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2652 2658 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2653 2659
2654 2660 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2655 2661
2656 2662 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2657 2663 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2658 2664 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2659 2665 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2660 2666 on this.
2661 2667
2662 2668 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2663 2669
2664 2670 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2665 2671 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2666 2672 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2667 2673 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2668 2674 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2669 2675
2670 2676 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2671 2677
2672 2678 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2673 2679 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2674 2680 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2675 2681 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2676 2682
2677 2683 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2678 2684
2679 2685 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2680 2686 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2681 2687 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2682 2688
2683 2689 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2684 2690
2685 2691 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2686 2692 startup time.
2687 2693
2688 2694 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2689 2695 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2690 2696 it's working in all cases.
2691 2697
2692 2698 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2693 2699 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2694 2700 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2695 2701 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2696 2702 per-search basis.
2697 2703
2698 2704 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2699 2705
2700 2706 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2701 2707 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2702 2708 of a patch by Jorgen.
2703 2709
2704 2710 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2705 2711
2706 2712 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2707 2713 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2708 2714 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2709 2715
2710 2716 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2711 2717
2712 2718 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2713 2719 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2714 2720 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2715 2721 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2716 2722
2717 2723 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2718 2724
2719 2725 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2720 2726 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2721 2727 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2722 2728 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2723 2729 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2724 2730 implementing this functionality.
2725 2731
2726 2732 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2727 2733
2728 2734 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2729 2735 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2730 2736 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2731 2737 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2732 2738 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2733 2739 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2734 2740 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2735 2741
2736 2742 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2737 2743
2738 2744 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2739 2745 reported by Stephen Walton.
2740 2746
2741 2747 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2742 2748
2743 2749 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2744 2750
2745 2751 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2746 2752 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2747 2753
2748 2754 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2749 2755
2750 2756 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2751 2757 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2752 2758
2753 2759 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2754 2760 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2755 2761
2756 2762 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2757 2763
2758 2764 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2759 2765 finishing.
2760 2766
2761 2767 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2762 2768 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2763 2769
2764 2770 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2765 2771 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2766 2772 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2767 2773
2768 2774 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2769 2775 code, handy in general.
2770 2776
2771 2777 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2772 2778 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2773 2779 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2774 2780
2775 2781 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2776 2782
2777 2783 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2778 2784 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2779 2785 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2780 2786 testing, though.
2781 2787 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2782 2788 like this before...
2783 2789
2784 2790 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2785 2791 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2786 2792
2787 2793 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2788 2794 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2789 2795
2790 2796 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2791 2797
2792 2798 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2793 2799 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2794 2800 F. Mantegazza.
2795 2801
2796 2802 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2797 2803
2798 2804 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2799 2805 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2800 2806 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2801 2807
2802 2808 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2803 2809 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2804 2810 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2805 2811 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2806 2812 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2807 2813 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2808 2814
2809 2815 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2810 2816
2811 2817 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2812 2818 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2813 2819 beyond readline-based environments.
2814 2820
2815 2821 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2816 2822
2817 2823 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2818 2824
2819 2825 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2820 2826 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2821 2827 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2822 2828 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2823 2829 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2824 2830
2825 2831 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2826 2832
2827 2833 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2828 2834 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2829 2835 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2830 2836
2831 2837 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2832 2838
2833 2839 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2834 2840
2835 2841 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2836 2842
2837 2843 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2838 2844 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2839 2845 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2840 2846 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2841 2847 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2842 2848 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2843 2849
2844 2850 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2845 2851
2846 2852 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2847 2853
2848 2854 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2849 2855
2850 2856 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2851 2857 invalid $HOME under win32.
2852 2858
2853 2859 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2854 2860
2855 2861 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2856 2862 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2857 2863 simpler and a bit faster.
2858 2864
2859 2865 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2860 2866 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2861 2867 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2862 2868 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2863 2869 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2864 2870
2865 2871 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2866 2872 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2867 2873 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2868 2874
2869 2875 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2870 2876 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2871 2877
2872 2878 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2873 2879 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2874 2880 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2875 2881 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2876 2882 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2877 2883 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2878 2884 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2879 2885
2880 2886 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2881 2887
2882 2888 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2883 2889
2884 2890 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2885 2891
2886 2892 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2887 2893 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2888 2894
2889 2895 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2890 2896
2891 2897 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2892 2898 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2893 2899 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2894 2900 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2895 2901 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2896 2902 for the contribution.
2897 2903
2898 2904 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2899 2905 slightly modified version of the patch in
2900 2906 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2901 2907 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2902 2908 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2903 2909
2904 2910 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2905 2911
2906 2912 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2907 2913 I/O a bit more.
2908 2914
2909 2915 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2910 2916 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2911 2917
2912 2918 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2913 2919
2914 2920 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2915 2921
2916 2922 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2917 2923 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2918 2924 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2919 2925 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2920 2926
2921 2927 readline_remove_delims -/~
2922 2928
2923 2929
2924 2930 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14

2926 2932 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2927 2933
2928 2934 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2929 2935 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2930 2936 <eli@gondolin.net>
2931 2937
2932 2938 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2933 2939
2934 2940 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2935 2941 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2936 2942
2937 2943 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2938 2944
2939 2945 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2940 2946 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2941 2947 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2942 2948
2943 2949 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2944 2950
2945 2951 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2946 2952 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2947 2953
2948 2954 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2949 2955
2950 2956 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2951 2957 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2952 2958
2953 2959 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2954 2960 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2955 2961 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2956 2962 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2957 2963 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2958 2964 for more details.
2959 2965
2960 2966 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2961 2967 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2962 2968 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2963 2969 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2964 2970
2965 2971 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2966 2972
2967 2973 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2968 2974 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2969 2975 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2970 2976 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2971 2977 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2972 2978
2973 2979 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2974 2980 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2975 2981 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2976 2982
2977 2983 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2978 2984
2979 2985 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2980 2986
2981 2987 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2982 2988
2983 2989 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2984 2990 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2985 2991 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2986 2992 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2987 2993 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2988 2994
2989 2995 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2990 2996
2991 2997 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2992 2998
2993 2999 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2994 3000 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2995 3001 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2996 3002 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2997 3003 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2998 3004
2999 3005 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
3000 3006 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
3001 3007 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
3002 3008 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
3003 3009 take the text parameter.
3004 3010
3005 3011 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
3006 3012 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
3007 3013 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
3008 3014 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
3009 3015 pysh profile to include the line
3010 3016
3011 3017 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
3012 3018
3013 3019 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
3014 3020 delete pysh.py and the line
3015 3021
3016 3022 execfile pysh.py
3017 3023
3018 3024 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
3019 3025
3020 3026 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
3021 3027 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
3022 3028 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
3023 3029 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
3024 3030 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
3025 3031
3026 3032 * pysh.py:
3027 3033
3028 3034 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3029 3035
3030 3036 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
3031 3037 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
3032 3038 want it can still turn it off.
3033 3039
3034 3040 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
3035 3041 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
3036 3042 off by default.
3037 3043
3038 3044 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
3039 3045 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
3040 3046 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
3041 3047 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
3042 3048 calls.
3043 3049
3044 3050 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3045 3051
3046 3052 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
3047 3053 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
3048 3054 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
3049 3055
3050 3056 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3051 3057
3052 3058 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
3053 3059 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
3054 3060 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
3055 3061 (including 0) after the ':' character.
3056 3062
3057 3063 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
3058 3064 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
3059 3065 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
3060 3066 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
3061 3067
3062 3068 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3063 3069
3064 3070 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
3065 3071 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
3066 3072
3067 3073 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
3068 3074 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
3069 3075 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
3070 3076 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
3071 3077 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
3072 3078 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
3073 3079 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
3074 3080 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
3075 3081
3076 3082 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3077 3083
3078 3084 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
3079 3085 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
3080 3086 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
3081 3087 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
3082 3088 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3083 3089 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3084 3090 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
3085 3091 add new completers at runtime.
3086 3092
3087 3093 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3088 3094
3089 3095 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
3090 3096 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
3091 3097 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
3092 3098 ? system.
3093 3099
3094 3100 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
3095 3101 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
3096 3102 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
3097 3103 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
3098 3104 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
3099 3105 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
3100 3106 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
3101 3107 conveninent, so not all is lost.
3102 3108
3103 3109 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
3104 3110
3105 3111 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
3106 3112 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
3107 3113 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
3108 3114 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3109 3115 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3110 3116
3111 3117 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
3112 3118 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
3113 3119 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
3114 3120 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
3115 3121 add:
3116 3122
3117 3123 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
3118 3124 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
3119 3125
3120 3126 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3121 3127
3122 3128 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
3123 3129 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
3124 3130 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
3125 3131 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
3126 3132
3127 3133 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
3128 3134 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
3129 3135 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
3130 3136 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
3131 3137 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
3132 3138 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
3133 3139 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
3134 3140 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
3135 3141 further, simply bind them to any other name.
3136 3142
3137 3143 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3138 3144
3139 3145 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
3140 3146 prompt namespace handling.
3141 3147
3142 3148 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3143 3149
3144 3150 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
3145 3151 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
3146 3152 trips the emacs python mode).
3147 3153 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
3148 3154 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
3149 3155 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
3150 3156 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
3151 3157 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
3152 3158 calls will be made at runtime.
3153 3159
3154 3160 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3155 3161
3156 3162 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
3157 3163 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
3158 3164 the call to %history.
3159 3165
3160 3166 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
3161 3167
3162 3168 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3163 3169
3164 3170 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
3165 3171 ipmagic() function calls.
3166 3172
3167 3173 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
3168 3174 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
3169 3175
3170 3176 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3171 3177
3172 3178 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
3173 3179 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
3174 3180 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
3175 3181 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
3176 3182 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
3177 3183 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
3178 3184 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
3179 3185 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
3180 3186
3181 3187 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3182 3188
3183 3189 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
3184 3190 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
3185 3191 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
3186 3192 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
3187 3193 Ville Vainio.
3188 3194
3189 3195 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3190 3196
3191 3197 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
3192 3198 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
3193 3199 define the ones they personally like.
3194 3200
3195 3201 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3196 3202
3197 3203 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
3198 3204 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
3199 3205
3200 3206 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3201 3207
3202 3208 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
3203 3209 into keys (for prompts, for example).
3204 3210
3205 3211 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
3206 3212 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
3207 3213 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
3208 3214 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
3209 3215 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
3210 3216 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
3211 3217 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
3212 3218 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
3213 3219
3214 3220 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
3215 3221 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
3216 3222 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
3217 3223 modified version of the original Debian patch at
3218 3224 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
3219 3225
3220 3226 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3221 3227
3222 3228 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
3223 3229 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
3224 3230 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
3225 3231
3226 3232 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
3227 3233 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
3228 3234 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
3229 3235
3230 3236 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
3231 3237
3232 3238 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3233 3239
3234 3240 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
3235 3241 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
3236 3242 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
3237 3243 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
3238 3244 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
3239 3245 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
3240 3246 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
3241 3247 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
3242 3248 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
3243 3249 system is a separate implementation).
3244 3250
3245 3251 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
3246 3252 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
3247 3253 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
3248 3254 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
3249 3255 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
3250 3256 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
3251 3257 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
3252 3258 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
3253 3259 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
3254 3260 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
3255 3261 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
3256 3262
3257 3263 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3258 3264
3259 3265 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
3260 3266 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
3261 3267 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
3262 3268 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
3263 3269 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
3264 3270 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
3265 3271 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
3266 3272 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
3267 3273
3268 3274 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3269 3275
3270 3276 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
3271 3277 previous call produced a syntax error.
3272 3278
3273 3279 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3274 3280 classes without constructor.
3275 3281
3276 3282 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3277 3283
3278 3284 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
3279 3285 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
3280 3286 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
3281 3287 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
3282 3288 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
3283 3289 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
3284 3290 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3285 3291
3286 3292 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3287 3293
3288 3294 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
3289 3295 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
3290 3296
3291 3297 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3292 3298
3293 3299 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
3294 3300 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
3295 3301 optimizations.
3296 3302
3297 3303 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
3298 3304 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
3299 3305
3300 3306 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3301 3307
3302 3308 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
3303 3309 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
3304 3310 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
3305 3311 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
3306 3312 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
3307 3313 avoid annoying the lists further.
3308 3314
3309 3315 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
3310 3316
3311 3317 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3312 3318
3313 3319 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
3314 3320 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
3315 3321 norm definitions.
3316 3322 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
3317 3323 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
3318 3324 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
3319 3325
3320 3326 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
3321 3327 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
3322 3328 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
3323 3329 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
3324 3330 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
3325 3331
3326 3332 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
3327 3333 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
3328 3334 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
3329 3335 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
3330 3336
3331 3337 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
3332 3338 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
3333 3339 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
3334 3340 fixes.
3335 3341
3336 3342 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
3337 3343 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
3338 3344 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
3339 3345 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
3340 3346 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
3341 3347 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
3342 3348 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
3343 3349
3344 3350 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
3345 3351
3346 3352 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3347 3353
3348 3354 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
3349 3355 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
3350 3356 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
3351 3357 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
3352 3358 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
3353 3359 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
3354 3360 Panel.
3355 3361
3356 3362 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
3357 3363 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
3358 3364 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
3359 3365 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
3360 3366 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
3361 3367
3362 3368 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3363 3369
3364 3370 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
3365 3371 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
3366 3372
3367 3373 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
3368 3374
3369 3375 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3370 3376
3371 3377 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
3372 3378 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
3373 3379 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
3374 3380 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
3375 3381 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
3376 3382 python shell.
3377 3383
3378 3384 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
3379 3385 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
3380 3386 on assignments. This closes
3381 3387 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
3382 3388 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
3383 3389 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
3384 3390
3385 3391 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3386 3392
3387 3393 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
3388 3394 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
3389 3395
3390 3396 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
3391 3397
3392 3398 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3393 3399
3394 3400 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
3395 3401 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
3396 3402
3397 3403 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3398 3404
3399 3405 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3400 3406 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
3401 3407 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
3402 3408
3403 3409 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3404 3410
3405 3411 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
3406 3412 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
3407 3413 'parent' object were present on the same line.
3408 3414
3409 3415 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3410 3416
3411 3417 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
3412 3418 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
3413 3419 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
3414 3420
3415 3421 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
3416 3422 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
3417 3423 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
3418 3424
3419 3425 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3420 3426
3421 3427 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
3422 3428 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
3423 3429
3424 3430 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3425 3431
3426 3432 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
3427 3433 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
3428 3434 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
3429 3435
3430 3436 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3431 3437
3432 3438 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
3433 3439 reported by Prabhu.
3434 3440 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
3435 3441 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
3436 3442 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
3437 3443
3438 3444 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
3439 3445 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
3440 3446
3441 3447 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
3442 3448 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
3443 3449 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
3444 3450 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
3445 3451 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
3446 3452 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
3447 3453
3448 3454 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
3449 3455
3450 3456 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3451 3457
3452 3458 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3453 3459 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3454 3460 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3455 3461 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3456 3462
3457 3463 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3458 3464 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3459 3465
3460 3466 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3461 3467 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3462 3468 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3463 3469 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3464 3470 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3465 3471 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3466 3472 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3467 3473
3468 3474 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3469 3475 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3470 3476 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3471 3477
3472 3478 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3473 3479 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3474 3480 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3475 3481 before.
3476 3482
3477 3483 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3478 3484
3479 3485 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3480 3486 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3481 3487 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3482 3488 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3483 3489
3484 3490 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3485 3491 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3486 3492 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3487 3493 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3488 3494 timing very short-running code.
3489 3495
3490 3496 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3491 3497 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3492 3498 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3493 3499 utility.
3494 3500
3495 3501 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3496 3502 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3497 3503 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3498 3504 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3499 3505 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3500 3506 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3501 3507 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3502 3508 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3503 3509
3504 3510 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3505 3511 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3506 3512 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3507 3513
3508 3514 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3509 3515 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3510 3516 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3511 3517 is for).
3512 3518
3513 3519 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3514 3520 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3515 3521 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3516 3522 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3517 3523 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3518 3524
3519 3525 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3520 3526
3521 3527 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3522 3528 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3523 3529 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3524 3530 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3525 3531 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3526 3532
3527 3533 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3528 3534 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3529 3535 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3530 3536 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3531 3537 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3532 3538 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3533 3539
3534 3540 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3535 3541
3536 3542 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3537 3543 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3538 3544
3539 3545 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3540 3546
3541 3547 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3542 3548 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3543 3549 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3544 3550 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3545 3551
3546 3552 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3547 3553
3548 3554 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3549 3555
3550 3556 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3551 3557 setting with -d option.
3552 3558
3553 3559 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3554 3560 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3555 3561 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3556 3562 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3557 3563
3558 3564 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3559 3565
3560 3566 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3561 3567 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3562 3568
3563 3569 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3564 3570 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3565 3571 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3566 3572 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3567 3573 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3568 3574 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3569 3575 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3570 3576 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3571 3577 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3572 3578 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3573 3579 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3574 3580
3575 3581 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3576 3582
3577 3583 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3578 3584 cache when empty lines were present.
3579 3585
3580 3586 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3581 3587
3582 3588 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3583 3589 options for WX and GTK.
3584 3590
3585 3591 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3586 3592
3587 3593 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3588 3594 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3589 3595 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3590 3596 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3591 3597 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3592 3598 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3593 3599 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3594 3600
3595 3601 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3596 3602 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3597 3603
3598 3604 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3599 3605
3600 3606 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3601 3607 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3602 3608 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3603 3609 many thanks.
3604 3610
3605 3611 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3606 3612 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3607 3613 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3608 3614
3609 3615 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3610 3616
3611 3617 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3612 3618 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3613 3619 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3614 3620

3617 3623 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3618 3624
3619 3625 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3620 3626 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3621 3627 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3622 3628
3623 3629 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3624 3630
3625 3631 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3626 3632 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3627 3633
3628 3634 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3629 3635
3630 3636 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3631 3637 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3632 3638 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3633 3639 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3634 3640 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3635 3641 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3636 3642 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3637 3643
3638 3644 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3639 3645
3640 3646 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3641 3647 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3642 3648 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3643 3649 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3644 3650
3645 3651 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3646 3652 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3647 3653
3648 3654 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3649 3655
3650 3656 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3651 3657 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3652 3658
3653 3659 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3654 3660 use throughout ipython.
3655 3661
3656 3662 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3657 3663 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3658 3664
3659 3665 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3660 3666 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3661 3667 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3662 3668 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3663 3669
3664 3670 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3665 3671
3666 3672 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3667 3673 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3668 3674 report by Francesc Alted.
3669 3675
3670 3676 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3671 3677
3672 3678 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3673 3679 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3674 3680
3675 3681 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3676 3682
3677 3683 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3678 3684 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3679 3685 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3680 3686 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3681 3687 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3682 3688 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3683 3689 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3684 3690 correctly set.
3685 3691
3686 3692 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3687 3693
3688 3694 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3689 3695 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3690 3696 import requirement of PEP-328.
3691 3697
3692 3698 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3693 3699 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3694 3700 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3695 3701 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3696 3702
3697 3703 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3698 3704
3699 3705 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3700 3706
3701 3707 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3702 3708 via a normal python function call.
3703 3709
3704 3710 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3705 3711 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3706 3712 2.4.
3707 3713
3708 3714 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3709 3715
3710 3716 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3711 3717 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3712 3718 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3713 3719 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3714 3720 is given to the user).
3715 3721
3716 3722 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3717 3723
3718 3724 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3719 3725 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3720 3726 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3721 3727 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3722 3728
3723 3729 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3724 3730 python 2.2.
3725 3731
3726 3732 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3727 3733 banner arg for embedded customization.
3728 3734
3729 3735 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3730 3736 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3731 3737 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3732 3738 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3733 3739 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3734 3740 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3735 3741
3736 3742 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3737 3743 minor changes to debian dir.
3738 3744
3739 3745 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3740 3746 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3741 3747 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3742 3748 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3743 3749
3744 3750 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3745 3751
3746 3752 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3747 3753 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3748 3754 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3749 3755 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3750 3756 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3751 3757
3752 3758 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3753 3759
3754 3760 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3755 3761 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3756 3762
3757 3763 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3758 3764
3759 3765 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3760 3766 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3761 3767
3762 3768 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3763 3769
3764 3770 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3765 3771
3766 3772 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3767 3773 updated.
3768 3774
3769 3775 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3770 3776
3771 3777 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3772 3778 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3773 3779 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3774 3780 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3775 3781 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3776 3782
3777 3783 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3778 3784 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3779 3785 split regexp. Closes
3780 3786 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3781 3787 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3782 3788 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3783 3789 extensions.
3784 3790
3785 3791 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3786 3792 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3787 3793 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3788 3794 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3789 3795 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3790 3796
3791 3797 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3792 3798 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3793 3799 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3794 3800 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3795 3801
3796 3802 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3797 3803 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3798 3804
3799 3805 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3800 3806 fine-tune banner.
3801 3807
3802 3808 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3803 3809 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3804 3810
3805 3811 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3806 3812
3807 3813 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3808 3814 were missing.
3809 3815
3810 3816 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3811 3817 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3812 3818 valid at the command line.
3813 3819
3814 3820 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3815 3821 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3816 3822
3817 3823 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3818 3824
3819 3825 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3820 3826 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3821 3827 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3822 3828
3823 3829 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3824 3830
3825 3831 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3826 3832 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3827 3833 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3828 3834 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3829 3835 continue to use the standard profiler.
3830 3836
3831 3837 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3832 3838
3833 3839 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3834 3840 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3835 3841 close.
3836 3842
3837 3843 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3838 3844
3839 3845 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3840 3846 in Magic and ultraTB.
3841 3847
3842 3848 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3843 3849
3844 3850 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3845 3851 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3846 3852 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3847 3853 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3848 3854
3849 3855 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3850 3856 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3851 3857 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3852 3858 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3853 3859 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3854 3860 infrastructure in place.
3855 3861
3856 3862 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3857 3863
3858 3864 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3859 3865
3860 3866 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3861 3867 the pylab profile.
3862 3868
3863 3869 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3864 3870
3865 3871 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3866 3872
3867 3873 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3868 3874 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3869 3875 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3870 3876 itself.
3871 3877
3872 3878 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3873 3879 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3874 3880 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3875 3881 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3876 3882 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3877 3883 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3878 3884 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3879 3885 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3880 3886
3881 3887 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3882 3888 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3883 3889
3884 3890 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3885 3891
3886 3892 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3887 3893 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3888 3894 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3889 3895
3890 3896 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3891 3897
3892 3898 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3893 3899 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3894 3900
3895 3901 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3896 3902
3897 3903 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3898 3904
3899 3905 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3900 3906
3901 3907 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3902 3908
3903 3909 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3904 3910 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3905 3911 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3906 3912
3907 3913 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3908 3914
3909 3915 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3910 3916 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3911 3917 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3912 3918 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3913 3919 works.
3914 3920
3915 3921 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3916 3922 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3917 3923 practice.
3918 3924
3919 3925 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3920 3926
3921 3927 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3922 3928 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3923 3929 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3924 3930
3925 3931 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3926 3932
3927 3933 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3928 3934 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3929 3935 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3930 3936 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3931 3937
3932 3938 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3933 3939
3934 3940 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3935 3941 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3936 3942 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3937 3943 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3938 3944
3939 3945 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3940 3946
3941 3947 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3942 3948
3943 3949 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3944 3950 fail for any number.
3945 3951 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3946 3952 empty bookmarks.
3947 3953
3948 3954 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3949 3955
3950 3956 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3951 3957
3952 3958 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3953 3959
3954 3960 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3955 3961 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3956 3962
3957 3963 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3958 3964 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3959 3965
3960 3966 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3961 3967
3962 3968 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3963 3969 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3964 3970 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3965 3971 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3966 3972 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3967 3973
3968 3974 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3969 3975
3970 3976 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3971 3977 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3972 3978
3973 3979 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3974 3980
3975 3981 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3976 3982 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3977 3983 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3978 3984 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3979 3985
3980 3986 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3981 3987 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3982 3988 Schmolck.
3983 3989
3984 3990 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3985 3991
3986 3992 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3987 3993
3988 3994 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3989 3995 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3990 3996
3991 3997 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3992 3998 optimizations.
3993 3999
3994 4000 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3995 4001 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3996 4002
3997 4003 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3998 4004 --Started changelog.
3999 4005 --make clear do what it say it does
4000 4006 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
4001 4007 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
4002 4008 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
4003 4009 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
4004 4010 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
4005 4011 can be done for other cases.
4006 4012 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
4007 4013 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
4008 4014 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
4009 4015
4010 4016 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4011 4017 --added logfile rotation
4012 4018 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace

4015 4021 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
4016 4022 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
4017 4023 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
4018 4024 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
4019 4025 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
4020 4026 --added global logfile option
4021 4027 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
4022 4028 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
4023 4029
4024 4030 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
4025 4031 --added a README
4026 4032 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
4027 4033 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
4028 4034 bug or feature.
4029 4035 --changed rc file for new behavior

4031 4037 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4032 4038
4033 4039 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
4034 4040 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
4035 4041 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
4036 4042
4037 4043 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
4038 4044 information which was there from Janko's original code:
4039 4045
4040 4046 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
4041 4047
4042 4048 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
4043 4049 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
4044 4050 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
4045 4051 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
4046 4052 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
4047 4053 and prepended with a #.
4048 4054
4049 4055 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
4050 4056 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
4051 4057
4052 4058 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4053 4059
4054 4060 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
4055 4061 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
4056 4062
4057 4063 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4058 4064
4059 4065 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
4060 4066 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
4061 4067
4062 4068 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4063 4069
4064 4070 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
4065 4071 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
4066 4072 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
4067 4073
4068 4074 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4069 4075
4070 4076 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
4071 4077 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
4072 4078
4073 4079 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
4074 4080 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
4075 4081 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
4076 4082 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
4077 4083 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
4078 4084 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
4079 4085 be implemented later).
4080 4086
4081 4087 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
4082 4088 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
4083 4089 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
4084 4090 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
4085 4091
4086 4092 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
4087 4093 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
4088 4094 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
4089 4095
4090 4096 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
4091 4097 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
4092 4098
4093 4099 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
4094 4100 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
4095 4101 readline make it impossible to go further.
4096 4102
4097 4103 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4098 4104
4099 4105 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
4100 4106 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
4101 4107
4102 4108 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4103 4109
4104 4110 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
4105 4111 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
4106 4112 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
4107 4113 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
4108 4114
4109 4115 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
4110 4116 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
4111 4117 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
4112 4118 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
4113 4119
4114 4120 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
4115 4121 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
4116 4122 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
4117 4123 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
4118 4124 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
4119 4125 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
4120 4126 problem.
4121 4127
4122 4128 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
4123 4129 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
4124 4130
4125 4131 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
4126 4132 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
4127 4133 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
4128 4134
4129 4135 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4130 4136
4131 4137 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
4132 4138 continue prompts.
4133 4139
4134 4140 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
4135 4141 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
4136 4142 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
4137 4143 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
4138 4144 byte-compilation saves time.
4139 4145
4140 4146 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4141 4147
4142 4148 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
4143 4149 -NUM', which was recently broken.
4144 4150
4145 4151 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
4146 4152 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
4147 4153
4148 4154 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
4149 4155 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
4150 4156 common cases where it's a problem.
4151 4157
4152 4158 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4153 4159
4154 4160 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
4155 4161 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
4156 4162 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
4157 4163 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
4158 4164 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
4159 4165 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
4160 4166
4161 4167 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4162 4168
4163 4169 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
4164 4170 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
4165 4171
4166 4172 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
4167 4173 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
4168 4174 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
4169 4175 structure as win_exec_ext.
4170 4176
4171 4177 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
4172 4178 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
4173 4179
4174 4180 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
4175 4181 delete aliases.
4176 4182
4177 4183 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
4178 4184 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
4179 4185
4180 4186 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4181 4187
4182 4188 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
4183 4189 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
4184 4190
4185 4191 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4186 4192
4187 4193 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
4188 4194 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
4189 4195
4190 4196 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
4191 4197 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
4192 4198
4193 4199 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
4194 4200 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
4195 4201 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
4196 4202 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
4197 4203 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
4198 4204 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
4199 4205
4200 4206 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
4201 4207 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
4202 4208 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
4203 4209
4204 4210 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
4205 4211 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
4206 4212 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
4207 4213
4208 4214 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
4209 4215 via an extra $. For example:
4210 4216
4211 4217 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
4212 4218
4213 4219 In [8]: !echo $PATH
4214 4220 a python variable
4215 4221
4216 4222 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
4217 4223 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
4218 4224
4219 4225 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
4220 4226 things prematurely.
4221 4227
4222 4228 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
4223 4229 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
4224 4230
4225 4231 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
4226 4232 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
4227 4233 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
4228 4234 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
4229 4235 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
4230 4236 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
4231 4237 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
4232 4238 programs in the user's path is obtained.
4233 4239
4234 4240 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
4235 4241 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
4236 4242 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
4237 4243 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
4238 4244 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
4239 4245 with the old system).
4240 4246
4241 4247 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4242 4248
4243 4249 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
4244 4250 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
4245 4251
4246 4252 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
4247 4253 call to eval.
4248 4254 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
4249 4255 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
4250 4256 in.
4251 4257
4252 4258 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4253 4259
4254 4260 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
4255 4261 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
4256 4262 confusion).
4257 4263
4258 4264 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
4259 4265 check for Windows users.
4260 4266
4261 4267 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
4262 4268 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
4263 4269 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
4264 4270 download it.
4265 4271
4266 4272 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4267 4273
4268 4274 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
4269 4275 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
4270 4276 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
4271 4277 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
4272 4278 of IDLE's out).
4273 4279
4274 4280 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
4275 4281 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
4276 4282 eventually.
4277 4283 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
4278 4284
4279 4285 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4280 4286
4281 4287 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
4282 4288 list of auto-defined aliases.
4283 4289
4284 4290 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4285 4291
4286 4292 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
4287 4293 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
4288 4294 things under Windows).
4289 4295
4290 4296 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4291 4297
4292 4298 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
4293 4299 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
4294 4300 reported by Thorsten.
4295 4301
4296 4302 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4297 4303
4298 4304 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
4299 4305 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
4300 4306 for all examples and the manual as well.
4301 4307
4302 4308 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4303 4309
4304 4310 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
4305 4311 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
4306 4312 inherit from BasePrompt.
4307 4313
4308 4314 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
4309 4315 with python version (since paths are fixed).
4310 4316
4311 4317 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
4312 4318 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
4313 4319 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
4314 4320 defaults.
4315 4321 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
4316 4322 this fix manually!
4317 4323
4318 4324 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
4319 4325 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
4320 4326 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
4321 4327 distutils).
4322 4328
4323 4329 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
4324 4330 usage of new '\D' escape.
4325 4331
4326 4332 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
4327 4333 lacks os.getuid())
4328 4334 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
4329 4335 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
4330 4336 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
4331 4337 handling mechanism.
4332 4338 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
4333 4339 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
4334 4340 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
4335 4341 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
4336 4342 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
4337 4343 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
4338 4344 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
4339 4345
4340 4346 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4341 4347
4342 4348 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
4343 4349 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
4344 4350 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
4345 4351
4346 4352 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
4347 4353 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
4348 4354 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
4349 4355 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
4350 4356 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
4351 4357 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
4352 4358 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
4353 4359 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4354 4360
4355 4361 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
4356 4362 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
4357 4363 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
4358 4364 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
4359 4365 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
4360 4366 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
4361 4367 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
4362 4368 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
4363 4369
4364 4370 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
4365 4371 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
4366 4372 functions uniform.
4367 4373 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
4368 4374
4369 4375 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
4370 4376 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
4371 4377 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
4372 4378 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
4373 4379 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
4374 4380 use to parse their options.
4375 4381
4376 4382 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
4377 4383 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
4378 4384 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
4379 4385
4380 4386 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
4381 4387 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
4382 4388 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
4383 4389 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
4384 4390 via the prompt_specials.
4385 4391
4386 4392 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4387 4393
4388 4394 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
4389 4395 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
4390 4396 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
4391 4397 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
4392 4398 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
4393 4399 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4394 4400 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
4395 4401 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
4396 4402
4397 4403 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4398 4404
4399 4405 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
4400 4406 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
4401 4407 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
4402 4408
4403 4409 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4404 4410
4405 4411 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
4406 4412 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
4407 4413
4408 4414 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4409 4415
4410 4416 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
4411 4417 parens would get passed to the shell.
4412 4418
4413 4419 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4414 4420
4415 4421 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
4416 4422 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
4417 4423
4418 4424 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
4419 4425 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
4420 4426 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
4421 4427 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
4422 4428 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
4423 4429
4424 4430 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
4425 4431 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
4426 4432 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
4427 4433 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
4428 4434
4429 4435 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
4430 4436
4431 4437 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4432 4438
4433 4439 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
4434 4440 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
4435 4441 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4436 4442
4437 4443 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
4438 4444 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
4439 4445 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
4440 4446 official documentation.
4441 4447
4442 4448 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4443 4449
4444 4450 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
4445 4451 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
4446 4452 explicit filename.
4447 4453
4448 4454 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4449 4455
4450 4456 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4451 4457 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4452 4458 case.
4453 4459
4454 4460 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4455 4461 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4456 4462 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4457 4463
4458 4464 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
4459 4465
4460 4466 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4461 4467
4462 4468 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4463 4469 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4464 4470 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4465 4471 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4466 4472 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4467 4473 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4468 4474 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4469 4475 any changes to python proper.
4470 4476
4471 4477 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4472 4478 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4473 4479 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4474 4480 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4475 4481 Schmolck.
4476 4482
4477 4483 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4478 4484
4479 4485 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4480 4486 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4481 4487 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4482 4488 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4483 4489
4484 4490 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4485 4491
4486 4492 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4487 4493 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4488 4494 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4489 4495 name).
4490 4496
4491 4497 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4492 4498 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4493 4499 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4494 4500 Francois Pinard.
4495 4501
4496 4502 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4497 4503
4498 4504 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4499 4505 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4500 4506 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4501 4507 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4502 4508 not work.
4503 4509
4504 4510 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4505 4511
4506 4512 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4507 4513 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4508 4514 distinguishes stdout/err.
4509 4515
4510 4516 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4511 4517 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4512 4518 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4513 4519 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4514 4520 the standard library.
4515 4521
4516 4522 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4517 4523 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4518 4524
4519 4525 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4520 4526 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4521 4527
4522 4528 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4523 4529
4524 4530 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4525 4531 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4526 4532 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4527 4533 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4528 4534 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4529 4535 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4530 4536
4531 4537 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4532 4538
4533 4539 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4534 4540 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4535 4541 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4536 4542 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4537 4543
4538 4544 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4539 4545
4540 4546 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4541 4547 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4542 4548 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4543 4549 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4544 4550
4545 4551 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4546 4552
4547 4553 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4548 4554 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4549 4555 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4550 4556 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4551 4557 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4552 4558 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4553 4559 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4554 4560 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4555 4561
4556 4562 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4557 4563
4558 4564 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4559 4565 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4560 4566
4561 4567 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4562 4568
4563 4569 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4564 4570 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4565 4571 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4566 4572 very short.
4567 4573
4568 4574 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4569 4575
4570 4576 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4571 4577 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4572 4578 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4573 4579 this before making it permanent.
4574 4580
4575 4581 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4576 4582 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4577 4583 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4578 4584 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4579 4585
4580 4586 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4581 4587
4582 4588 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4583 4589 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4584 4590
4585 4591 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4586 4592
4587 4593 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4588 4594 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4589 4595 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4590 4596 cases I've missed.
4591 4597
4592 4598 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4593 4599
4594 4600 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4595 4601 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4596 4602 system would be triggered for @p.
4597 4603
4598 4604 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4599 4605 cleanups, code unmodified.
4600 4606
4601 4607 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4602 4608 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4603 4609 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4604 4610 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4605 4611 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4606 4612 The actual changes affect many files.
4607 4613
4608 4614 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4609 4615
4610 4616 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4611 4617 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4612 4618 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4613 4619
4614 4620 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4615 4621
4616 4622 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4617 4623 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4618 4624
4619 4625 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4620 4626
4621 4627 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4622 4628 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4623 4629 numpy list.
4624 4630
4625 4631 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4626 4632
4627 4633 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4628 4634 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4629 4635 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4630 4636 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4631 4637
4632 4638 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4633 4639
4634 4640 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4635 4641 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4636 4642 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4637 4643 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4638 4644
4639 4645 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4640 4646 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4641 4647
4642 4648 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4643 4649
4644 4650 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4645 4651 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4646 4652 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4647 4653 Collins.
4648 4654
4649 4655 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4650 4656
4651 4657 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4652 4658
4653 4659 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4654 4660 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4655 4661 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4656 4662
4657 4663 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4658 4664
4659 4665 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4660 4666 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4661 4667 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4662 4668 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4663 4669
4664 4670 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4665 4671 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4666 4672 __getitem__ and __call__.
4667 4673
4668 4674 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4669 4675
4670 4676 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4671 4677
4672 4678 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4673 4679 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4674 4680 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4675 4681 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4676 4682
4677 4683 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4678 4684 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4679 4685 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4680 4686 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4681 4687 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4682 4688 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4683 4689 necessary.
4684 4690
4685 4691 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4686 4692 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4687 4693 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4688 4694
4689 4695 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4690 4696 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4691 4697 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4692 4698 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4693 4699
4694 4700 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4695 4701 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4696 4702 generators.
4697 4703
4698 4704 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4699 4705 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4700 4706 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4701 4707 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4702 4708 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4703 4709 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4704 4710 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4705 4711
4706 4712 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4707 4713 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4708 4714 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4709 4715 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4710 4716 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4711 4717
4712 4718 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4713 4719 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4714 4720 edit under some circumstances.
4715 4721 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4716 4722 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4717 4723 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4718 4724 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4719 4725 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4720 4726 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4721 4727 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4722 4728 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4723 4729 need more testing.
4724 4730
4725 4731 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4726 4732
4727 4733 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4728 4734 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4729 4735 and simpler code.
4730 4736
4731 4737 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4732 4738
4733 4739 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4734 4740 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4735 4741 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4736 4742 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4737 4743 even if they were contiguous.
4738 4744 (l1norm): Added this function.
4739 4745 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4740 4746 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4741 4747 and speed.
4742 4748
4743 4749 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4744 4750
4745 4751 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4746 4752 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4747 4753 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4748 4754
4749 4755 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4750 4756
4751 4757 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4752 4758 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4753 4759 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4754 4760
4755 4761 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4756 4762 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4757 4763 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4758 4764
4759 4765 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4760 4766
4761 4767 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4762 4768 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4763 4769 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4764 4770 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4765 4771 activity.
4766 4772
4767 4773 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4768 4774
4769 4775 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4770 4776 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4771 4777 Numeric.identity)
4772 4778
4773 4779 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4774 4780
4775 4781 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4776 4782 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4777 4783 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4778 4784
4779 4785 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4780 4786
4781 4787 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4782 4788 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4783 4789 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4784 4790 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4785 4791
4786 4792 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4787 4793 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4788 4794 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4789 4795 is implemented).
4790 4796
4791 4797 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4792 4798
4793 4799 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4794 4800 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4795 4801 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4796 4802
4797 4803 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4798 4804 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4799 4805 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4800 4806 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4801 4807 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4802 4808
4803 4809 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4804 4810
4805 4811 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4806 4812
4807 4813 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4808 4814 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4809 4815 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4810 4816
4811 4817 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4812 4818
4813 4819 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4814 4820 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4815 4821 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4816 4822
4817 4823 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4818 4824 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4819 4825 crash report from Prabhu.
4820 4826
4821 4827 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4822 4828
4823 4829 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4824 4830 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4825 4831 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4826 4832 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4827 4833 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4828 4834 also be useful in other cases.
4829 4835
4830 4836 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4831 4837 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4832 4838 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4833 4839
4834 4840 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4835 4841
4836 4842 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4837 4843
4838 4844 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4839 4845 installing for a new user under Windows.
4840 4846
4841 4847 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4842 4848
4843 4849 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4844 4850 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4845 4851 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4846 4852 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4847 4853 there.
4848 4854
4849 4855 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4850 4856 info to crash reports.
4851 4857
4852 4858 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4853 4859 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4854 4860 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4855 4861 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4856 4862
4857 4863 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4858 4864
4859 4865 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4860 4866 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4861 4867 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4862 4868 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4863 4869
4864 4870 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4865 4871
4866 4872 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4867 4873 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4868 4874
4869 4875 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4870 4876
4871 4877 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4872 4878 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4873 4879
4874 4880 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4875 4881
4876 4882 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4877 4883
4878 4884 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4879 4885 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4880 4886 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4881 4887
4882 4888 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4883 4889 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4884 4890 with the new auto-indent option.
4885 4891
4886 4892 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4887 4893
4888 4894 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4889 4895 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4890 4896 this class from the main Shell class.
4891 4897
4892 4898 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4893 4899 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4894 4900 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4895 4901 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4896 4902 option).
4897 4903
4898 4904 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4899 4905 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4900 4906 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4901 4907 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4902 4908 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4903 4909
4904 4910 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4905 4911 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4906 4912 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4907 4913
4908 4914 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4909 4915 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4910 4916 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4911 4917 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4912 4918 tracebacks.
4913 4919
4914 4920 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4915 4921 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4916 4922 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4917 4923
4918 4924 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4919 4925
4920 4926 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4921 4927 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4922 4928 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4923 4929 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4924 4930
4925 4931 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4926 4932
4927 4933 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4928 4934 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4929 4935 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4930 4936 for the bug report.
4931 4937
4932 4938 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4933 4939
4934 4940 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4935 4941 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4936 4942 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4937 4943 report.
4938 4944
4939 4945 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4940 4946
4941 4947 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4942 4948 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4943 4949 end).
4944 4950
4945 4951 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4946 4952 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4947 4953 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4948 4954
4949 4955 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4950 4956
4951 4957 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4952 4958 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4953 4959 for the patch.
4954 4960
4955 4961 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4956 4962
4957 4963 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4958 4964 functions.
4959 4965
4960 4966 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
4961 4967
4962 4968 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4963 4969
4964 4970 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4965 4971 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4966 4972 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4967 4973 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4968 4974 private fix.
4969 4975
4970 4976 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4971 4977 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4972 4978 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4973 4979 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4974 4980 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4975 4981 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4976 4982 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4977 4983 fixed for this setup.
4978 4984
4979 4985 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4980 4986 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4981 4987
4982 4988 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4983 4989
4984 4990 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4985 4991
4986 4992 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4987 4993 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4988 4994 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4989 4995 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4990 4996 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4991 4997 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4992 4998 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4993 4999 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4994 5000 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4995 5001
4996 5002 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4997 5003 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4998 5004 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4999 5005
5000 5006 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
5001 5007
5002 5008 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5003 5009
5004 5010 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
5005 5011 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
5006 5012 pickle-related issue in @run).
5007 5013
5008 5014 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5009 5015
5010 5016 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
5011 5017 the autocall option at runtime.
5012 5018 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
5013 5019 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
5014 5020 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
5015 5021 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
5016 5022 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
5017 5023 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
5018 5024 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
5019 5025 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
5020 5026 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
5021 5027 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
5022 5028 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
5023 5029 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
5024 5030 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
5025 5031 pickles to save something sensible.
5026 5032
5027 5033 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
5028 5034
5029 5035 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
5030 5036 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
5031 5037 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
5032 5038
5033 5039 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5034 5040
5035 5041 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
5036 5042 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
5037 5043
5038 5044 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
5039 5045
5040 5046 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
5041 5047 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
5042 5048 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
5043 5049 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
5044 5050
5045 5051 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5046 5052
5047 5053 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
5048 5054 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
5049 5055 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
5050 5056 array is non-contiguous.
5051 5057
5052 5058 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5053 5059
5054 5060 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
5055 5061 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
5056 5062 executed).
5057 5063 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
5058 5064 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
5059 5065 output.
5060 5066 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
5061 5067 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
5062 5068 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
5063 5069 changing.
5064 5070
5065 5071 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
5066 5072
5067 5073 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5068 5074
5069 5075 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
5070 5076 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
5071 5077 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
5072 5078 are removed only at IPython's exit.
5073 5079 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
5074 5080 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
5075 5081 like a normal command-line.
5076 5082
5077 5083 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
5078 5084 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
5079 5085 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
5080 5086 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
5081 5087
5082 5088 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5083 5089
5084 5090 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
5085 5091 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
5086 5092 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
5087 5093 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
5088 5094
5089 5095 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5090 5096
5091 5097 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
5092 5098 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
5093 5099 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
5094 5100 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
5095 5101 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
5096 5102 think it's worth doing.
5097 5103
5098 5104 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
5099 5105
5100 5106 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5101 5107
5102 5108 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
5103 5109 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
5104 5110
5105 5111 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
5106 5112 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
5107 5113 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
5108 5114 also work ok.
5109 5115
5110 5116 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
5111 5117
5112 5118 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5113 5119
5114 5120 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
5115 5121
5116 5122 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
5117 5123 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
5118 5124 of gnuplot data files.
5119 5125
5120 5126 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5121 5127
5122 5128 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
5123 5129 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
5124 5130
5125 5131 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5126 5132
5127 5133 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
5128 5134 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
5129 5135 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
5130 5136 for pointing this out.
5131 5137
5132 5138 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5133 5139
5134 5140 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
5135 5141
5136 5142 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
5137 5143 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
5138 5144 Interactive.
5139 5145
5140 5146 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
5141 5147 being imported from iplib.
5142 5148
5143 5149 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
5144 5150 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
5145 5151 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
5146 5152 common name.
5147 5153
5148 5154 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
5149 5155 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
5150 5156
5151 5157 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
5152 5158 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
5153 5159
5154 5160 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
5155 5161 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
5156 5162 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
5157 5163 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
5158 5164 docstrings).
5159 5165
5160 5166 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5161 5167
5162 5168 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
5163 5169 (inconsistent with options).
5164 5170
5165 5171 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
5166 5172 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
5167 5173 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
5168 5174 eps output.
5169 5175
5170 5176 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5171 5177
5172 5178 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
5173 5179 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
5174 5180 Pinard.
5175 5181
5176 5182 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5177 5183
5178 5184 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
5179 5185 history file for new users.
5180 5186 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
5181 5187 user running in the .ipython dir.
5182 5188 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
5183 5189 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
5184 5190 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
5185 5191
5186 5192 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
5187 5193 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
5188 5194 consistently.
5189 5195
5190 5196 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
5191 5197 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
5192 5198 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
5193 5199 libraries I don't have access to.
5194 5200
5195 5201 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
5196 5202 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
5197 5203 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
5198 5204 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
5199 5205 report.
5200 5206
5201 5207 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5202 5208
5203 5209 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
5204 5210 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
5205 5211 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
5206 5212 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
5207 5213
5208 5214 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5209 5215
5210 5216 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
5211 5217 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
5212 5218 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
5213 5219 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
5214 5220 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
5215 5221 instance has been created.
5216 5222
5217 5223 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
5218 5224 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
5219 5225 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
5220 5226 dict by hand.
5221 5227
5222 5228 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5223 5229
5224 5230 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
5225 5231 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
5226 5232 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
5227 5233 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
5228 5234 broken.
5229 5235
5230 5236 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
5231 5237 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
5232 5238 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
5233 5239 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
5234 5240
5235 5241 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
5236 5242 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
5237 5243 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
5238 5244 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
5239 5245 is a valid one.
5240 5246
5241 5247 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
5242 5248 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
5243 5249 confirmation to have yes as the default.
5244 5250
5245 5251 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
5246 5252 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
5247 5253 simply leftover junk.
5248 5254
5249 5255 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5250 5256
5251 5257 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
5252 5258 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
5253 5259 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
5254 5260
5255 5261 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
5256 5262 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
5257 5263 exceptions.
5258 5264
5259 5265 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5260 5266
5261 5267 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
5262 5268 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
5263 5269 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
5264 5270 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
5265 5271 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
5266 5272
5267 5273 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
5268 5274 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
5269 5275
5270 5276 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
5271 5277 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
5272 5278 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
5273 5279 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
5274 5280 problem mentioned below.
5275 5281
5276 5282 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5277 5283
5278 5284 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
5279 5285 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
5280 5286
5281 5287 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
5282 5288 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
5283 5289 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
5284 5290 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
5285 5291 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
5286 5292
5287 5293 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
5288 5294 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
5289 5295 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
5290 5296 actual function names.
5291 5297
5292 5298 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
5293 5299 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
5294 5300 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
5295 5301 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
5296 5302 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
5297 5303 really be only function/method names.
5298 5304
5299 5305 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5300 5306
5301 5307 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
5302 5308 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
5303 5309 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
5304 5310
5305 5311 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5306 5312
5307 5313 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
5308 5314 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
5309 5315 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
5310 5316
5311 5317 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
5312 5318 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5313 5319
5314 5320 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
5315 5321 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
5316 5322 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
5317 5323
5318 5324 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
5319 5325 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
5320 5326 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
5321 5327
5322 5328 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
5323 5329 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
5324 5330 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
5325 5331
5326 5332 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5327 5333
5328 5334 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
5329 5335 Gnuplot.File objects.
5330 5336
5331 5337 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5332 5338
5333 5339 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
5334 5340 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
5335 5341 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
5336 5342
5337 5343 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5338 5344
5339 5345 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
5340 5346 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
5341 5347
5342 5348 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
5343 5349 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
5344 5350
5345 5351 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
5346 5352 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
5347 5353
5348 5354 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5349 5355
5350 5356 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
5351 5357 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
5352 5358 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
5353 5359 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
5354 5360
5355 5361 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5356 5362
5357 5363 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
5358 5364 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
5359 5365 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
5360 5366
5361 5367 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5362 5368
5363 5369 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
5364 5370 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
5365 5371 workaround).
5366 5372
5367 5373 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5368 5374
5369 5375 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
5370 5376 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
5371 5377
5372 5378 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5373 5379
5374 5380 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
5375 5381 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
5376 5382
5377 5383 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
5378 5384 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
5379 5385 .strip() is called on it.
5380 5386
5381 5387
5382 5388 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5383 5389
5384 5390 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
5385 5391 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
5386 5392 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
5387 5393
5388 5394 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
5389 5395 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
5390 5396
5391 5397 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
5392 5398 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
5393 5399 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
5394 5400
5395 5401 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5396 5402
5397 5403 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
5398 5404 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
5399 5405 __main__.
5400 5406
5401 5407 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
5402 5408 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
5403 5409
5404 5410 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
5405 5411 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
5406 5412 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
5407 5413 Mathematica behaves.
5408 5414
5409 5415 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5410 5416
5411 5417 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
5412 5418 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
5413 5419
5414 5420 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
5415 5421 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
5416 5422 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
5417 5423
5418 5424 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
5419 5425 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
5420 5426
5421 5427 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5422 5428
5423 5429 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
5424 5430 underflow problems in Numeric.
5425 5431 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
5426 5432 for exact integer powers of 2.
5427 5433
5428 5434 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
5429 5435 properly.
5430 5436
5431 5437 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5432 5438
5433 5439 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
5434 5440 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
5435 5441
5436 5442 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5437 5443
5438 5444 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
5439 5445 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
5440 5446
5441 5447 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5442 5448
5443 5449 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
5444 5450 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
5445 5451 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
5446 5452 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
5447 5453 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
5448 5454 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
5449 5455 times).
5450 5456
5451 5457 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
5452 5458 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
5453 5459 been redirected by user this gets honored.
5454 5460
5455 5461 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5456 5462
5457 5463 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
5458 5464 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5459 5465 embedded code.
5460 5466
5461 5467 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5462 5468 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5463 5469 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5464 5470
5465 5471 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5466 5472 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5467 5473 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5468 5474 less special-casing to remember.
5469 5475
5470 5476 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5471 5477
5472 5478 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5473 5479 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5474 5480 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5475 5481 arg is not a defined object.
5476 5482 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5477 5483 a Mike Heeter idea.
5478 5484
5479 5485 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5480 5486 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5481 5487 interactive use.
5482 5488
5483 5489 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5484 5490 filenames.
5485 5491
5486 5492 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5487 5493
5488 5494 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5489 5495 initialization via another struct.
5490 5496
5491 5497 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5492 5498 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5493 5499
5494 5500 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5495 5501
5496 5502 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5497 5503 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5498 5504 too big).
5499 5505
5500 5506 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5501 5507
5502 5508 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5503 5509 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5504 5510 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5505 5511 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5506 5512
5507 5513 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5508 5514
5509 5515 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5510 5516 macros having broken.
5511 5517
5512 5518 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5513 5519
5514 5520 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5515 5521 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5516 5522 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5517 5523 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5518 5524 not to lists.
5519 5525
5520 5526 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5521 5527
5522 5528 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5523 5529 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5524 5530 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5525 5531
5526 5532 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5527 5533 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5528 5534
5529 5535 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5530 5536 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5531 5537 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5532 5538
5533 5539 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5534 5540 triple-quoted strings.
5535 5541
5536 5542 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5537 5543 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5538 5544 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5539 5545 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5540 5546 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5541 5547 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5542 5548
5543 5549 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5544 5550
5545 5551 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5546 5552 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5547 5553 ultraTB).
5548 5554
5549 5555 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5550 5556
5551 5557 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5552 5558 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5553 5559 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5554 5560 user's 'g' variables).
5555 5561
5556 5562 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5557 5563 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5558 5564 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5559 5565 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5560 5566 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5561 5567 macros.
5562 5568
5563 5569 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5564 5570
5565 5571 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5566 5572 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5567 5573
5568 5574 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5569 5575 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5570 5576 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5571 5577
5572 5578 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5573 5579
5574 5580 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5575 5581 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5576 5582 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5577 5583 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5578 5584 aliases.
5579 5585
5580 5586 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5581 5587
5582 5588 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5583 5589 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5584 5590 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5585 5591 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5586 5592
5587 5593 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5588 5594
5589 5595 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5590 5596 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5591 5597 user-defined functions overrode them.
5592 5598
5593 5599 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5594 5600
5595 5601 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5596 5602 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5597 5603
5598 5604 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5599 5605
5600 5606 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5601 5607 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5602 5608 IPython.
5603 5609
5604 5610 * Released 0.2.13
5605 5611
5606 5612 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5607 5613 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5608 5614 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5609 5615 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5610 5616
5611 5617 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5612 5618
5613 5619 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5614 5620 magic properly formatted for screen.
5615 5621
5616 5622 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5617 5623 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5618 5624
5619 5625 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5620 5626 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5621 5627 etc.)
5622 5628
5623 5629 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5624 5630
5625 5631 * Released 0.2.12
5626 5632
5627 5633 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5628 5634
5629 5635 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5630 5636 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5631 5637 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5632 5638 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5633 5639 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5634 5640 an alias to @run -i.
5635 5641
5636 5642 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5637 5643 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5638 5644
5639 5645 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5640 5646
5641 5647 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5642 5648 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5643 5649 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5644 5650
5645 5651 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5646 5652 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5647 5653 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5648 5654 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5649 5655 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5650 5656 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5651 5657 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5652 5658
5653 5659 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5654 5660
5655 5661 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5656 5662 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5657 5663 printed).
5658 5664
5659 5665 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5660 5666 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5661 5667 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5662 5668
5663 5669 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5664 5670 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5665 5671
5666 5672 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5667 5673 handle magic commands in them.
5668 5674 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5669 5675 ~/mylog' now works.
5670 5676
5671 5677 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5672 5678 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5673 5679
5674 5680 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5675 5681
5676 5682 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5677 5683 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5678 5684
5679 5685 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5680 5686 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5681 5687 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5682 5688 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5683 5689 variables are in the context of an exception.
5684 5690 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5685 5691 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5686 5692
5687 5693 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5688 5694 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5689 5695
5690 5696 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5691 5697
5692 5698 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5693 5699 magics can parse options easier.
5694 5700 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5695 5701 suggested by Chris Hart.
5696 5702 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5697 5703 directory actually is in history.
5698 5704
5699 5705 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5700 5706 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5701 5707 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5702 5708
5703 5709 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5704 5710 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5705 5711 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5706 5712 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5707 5713
5708 5714 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5709 5715
5710 5716 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5711 5717 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5712 5718
5713 5719 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5714 5720 text (was a bug).
5715 5721
5716 5722 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5717 5723
5718 5724 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5719 5725 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5720 5726 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5721 5727
5722 5728 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5723 5729
5724 5730 * Released 0.2.10
5725 5731
5726 5732 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5727 5733
5728 5734 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5729 5735 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5730 5736
5731 5737 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5732 5738
5733 5739 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5734 5740 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5735 5741
5736 5742 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5737 5743
5738 5744 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5739 5745 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5740 5746 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5741 5747 __init__.py)
5742 5748
5743 5749 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5744 5750
5745 5751 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5746 5752 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5747 5753 test for being inside IPython.
5748 5754
5749 5755 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5750 5756 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5751 5757 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5752 5758 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5753 5759
5754 5760 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5755 5761
5756 5762 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5757 5763 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5758 5764 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5759 5765
5760 5766 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5761 5767 embedding example to standard user directory for
5762 5768 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5763 5769
5764 5770 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5765 5771 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5766 5772 hidden global).
5767 5773
5768 5774 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5769 5775 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5770 5776 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5771 5777 case.
5772 5778
5773 5779 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5774 5780
5775 5781 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5776 5782 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5777 5783 start.
5778 5784
5779 5785 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5780 5786 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5781 5787 Numeric or math.
5782 5788
5783 5789 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5784 5790 provided profiles. Now we have:
5785 5791 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5786 5792 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5787 5793 -physics -> same as before
5788 5794
5789 5795 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5790 5796 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5791 5797 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5792 5798 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5793 5799 string adds).
5794 5800
5795 5801 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5796 5802 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5797 5803 line with the gnuplot code).
5798 5804
5799 5805 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5800 5806
5801 5807 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5802 5808 all included files change.
5803 5809
5804 5810 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5805 5811 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5806 5812
5807 5813 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5808 5814 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5809 5815 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5810 5816
5811 5817 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5812 5818 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5813 5819
5814 5820 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5815 5821 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5816 5822
5817 5823 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5818 5824 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5819 5825 now accessible.
5820 5826
5821 5827 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5822 5828 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5823 5829 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5824 5830 removed.
5825 5831 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5826 5832 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5827 5833 don't crash.
5828 5834 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5829 5835 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5830 5836 remains available.
5831 5837
5832 5838 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5833 5839
5834 5840 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5835 5841
5836 5842 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5837 5843
5838 5844 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5839 5845 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5840 5846 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5841 5847 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5842 5848
5843 5849 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5844 5850
5845 5851 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5846 5852 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5847 5853 sync with the output counter.
5848 5854
5849 5855 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5850 5856 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5851 5857
5852 5858 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5853 5859
5854 5860 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5855 5861 readline, fix it back after each call.
5856 5862
5857 5863 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5858 5864 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5859 5865 traceback references are properly deleted.
5860 5866
5861 5867 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5862 5868 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5863 5869
5864 5870 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5865 5871
5866 5872 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5867 5873 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5868 5874 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5869 5875 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5870 5876 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5871 5877 to catch SystemExit).
5872 5878
5873 5879 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5874 5880 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5875 5881 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5876 5882 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5877 5883 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5878 5884 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5879 5885
5880 5886 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5881 5887
5882 5888 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5883 5889 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5884 5890 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5885 5891
5886 5892 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5887 5893 configurable (it should have always been so).
5888 5894
5889 5895 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5890 5896
5891 5897 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5892 5898 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5893 5899 done in a more elegant way.
5894 5900
5895 5901 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5896 5902
5897 5903 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5898 5904 win9x also.
5899 5905
5900 5906 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5901 5907
5902 5908 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5903 5909 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5904 5910
5905 5911 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5906 5912
5907 5913 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5908 5914
5909 5915 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5910 5916 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5911 5917
5912 5918 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5913 5919 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5914 5920
5915 5921 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5916 5922 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5917 5923
5918 5924 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5919 5925 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5920 5926
5921 5927 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5922 5928
5923 5929 * Released 0.2.8
5924 5930
5925 5931 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5926 5932 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5927 5933 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5928 5934 on' so that the first tab completes.
5929 5935 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5930 5936 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5931 5937
5932 5938 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5933 5939 installation.
5934 5940
5935 5941 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5936 5942 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5937 5943
5938 5944 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5939 5945
5940 5946 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5941 5947 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5942 5948 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5943 5949
5944 5950 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5945 5951 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5946 5952
5947 5953 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5948 5954 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5949 5955 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5950 5956 suggestion.
5951 5957
5952 5958 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5953 5959 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5954 5960 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5955 5961
5956 5962 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5957 5963 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5958 5964
5959 5965 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5960 5966
5961 5967 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5962 5968 which properly handles things for windows users.
5963 5969
5964 5970 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5965 5971
5966 5972 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5967 5973 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5968 5974 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5969 5975 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5970 5976 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5971 5977
5972 5978 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5973 5979
5974 5980 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5975 5981
5976 5982 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5977 5983 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5978 5984
5979 5985 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5980 5986
5981 5987 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5982 5988 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5983 5989 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5984 5990 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5985 5991 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5986 5992 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5987 5993
5988 5994 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5989 5995
5990 5996 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5991 5997 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5992 5998
5993 5999 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5994 6000 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5995 6001 cache at 20 values.
5996 6002
5997 6003 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5998 6004 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5999 6005 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
6000 6006 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
6001 6007
6002 6008 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
6003 6009 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
6004 6010 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
6005 6011 'file show').
6006 6012
6007 6013 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
6008 6014 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
6009 6015
6010 6016 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
6011 6017 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
6012 6018 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
6013 6019
6014 6020 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
6015 6021 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
6016 6022 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
6017 6023 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
6018 6024
6019 6025 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
6020 6026 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
6021 6027 the prompt strings.
6022 6028
6023 6029 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6024 6030
6025 6031 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
6026 6032 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
6027 6033
6028 6034 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
6029 6035 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
6030 6036 either globally or at each call.
6031 6037
6032 6038 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
6033 6039 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
6034 6040 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
6035 6041 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
6036 6042
6037 6043 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6038 6044
6039 6045 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
6040 6046 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
6041 6047
6042 6048 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
6043 6049
6044 6050 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
6045 6051 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
6046 6052 learning some lisp...
6047 6053
6048 6054 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6049 6055
6050 6056 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
6051 6057 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
6052 6058 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
6053 6059 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
6054 6060
6055 6061 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
6056 6062 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
6057 6063 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
6058 6064
6059 6065 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6060 6066
6061 6067 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
6062 6068 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
6063 6069 control to emacs users.
6064 6070
6065 6071 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
6066 6072 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
6067 6073 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
6068 6074 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
6069 6075 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
6070 6076 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
6071 6077
6072 6078 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6073 6079
6074 6080 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
6075 6081
6076 6082 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
6077 6083 @logstate magic was created.
6078 6084
6079 6085 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
6080 6086 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
6081 6087
6082 6088 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6083 6089
6084 6090 * Released 0.2.6.
6085 6091
6086 6092 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
6087 6093 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
6088 6094
6089 6095 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
6090 6096 SciPy.
6091 6097
6092 6098 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
6093 6099 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
6094 6100 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
6095 6101 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
6096 6102 the section on embedding and the example file.
6097 6103
6098 6104 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
6099 6105 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
6100 6106 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
6101 6107
6102 6108 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
6103 6109 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
6104 6110 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
6105 6111
6106 6112 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
6107 6113 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
6108 6114 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
6109 6115 for this to work.
6110 6116
6111 6117 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6112 6118
6113 6119 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
6114 6120 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
6115 6121 well inside Emacs buffers.
6116 6122 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
6117 6123 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
6118 6124 same bug in iplib.
6119 6125
6120 6126 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6121 6127
6122 6128 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
6123 6129 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
6124 6130
6125 6131 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
6126 6132 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
6127 6133 and keeps PyChecker happy).
6128 6134
6129 6135 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
6130 6136 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
6131 6137 display is done.
6132 6138
6133 6139 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
6134 6140 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
6135 6141
6136 6142 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
6137 6143 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
6138 6144 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
6139 6145 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
6140 6146 like in Octave.
6141 6147
6142 6148 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
6143 6149 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
6144 6150
6145 6151 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6146 6152
6147 6153 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
6148 6154 whole file a little.
6149 6155
6150 6156 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
6151 6157 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
6152 6158 end-user distro.
6153 6159
6154 6160 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
6155 6161 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
6156 6162 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
6157 6163
6158 6164 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
6159 6165 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
6160 6166
6161 6167 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
6162 6168 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
6163 6169 for @file.
6164 6170
6165 6171 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
6166 6172 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
6167 6173 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
6168 6174 the code a bit easier.
6169 6175
6170 6176 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
6171 6177 information to crash reports.
6172 6178
6173 6179 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6174 6180
6175 6181 * Released 0.2.5.
6176 6182
6177 6183 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6178 6184
6179 6185 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
6180 6186 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
6181 6187 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
6182 6188
6183 6189 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6184 6190
6185 6191 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
6186 6192 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
6187 6193 have thigs work as expected.
6188 6194
6189 6195 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
6190 6196 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
6191 6197 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
6192 6198 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
6193 6199 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
6194 6200
6195 6201 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
6196 6202 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
6197 6203
6198 6204 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6199 6205
6200 6206 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
6201 6207 user config files with os-native line-endings.
6202 6208
6203 6209 * README and manual updates.
6204 6210
6205 6211 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
6206 6212 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
6207 6213
6208 6214 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
6209 6215 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
6210 6216
6211 6217 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
6212 6218 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
6213 6219 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
6214 6220 extension-less files.
6215 6221
6216 6222 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
6217 6223 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
6218 6224 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
6219 6225
6220 6226 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
6221 6227 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
6222 6228
6223 6229 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
6224 6230 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
6225 6231 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
6226 6232 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
6227 6233 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
6228 6234 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
6229 6235 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
6230 6236 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
6231 6237 least make manually a shortcut.
6232 6238
6233 6239 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
6234 6240 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
6235 6241 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
6236 6242 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
6237 6243 runtime, with @colors.
6238 6244 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
6239 6245 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
6240 6246
6241 6247 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6242 6248
6243 6249 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
6244 6250 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
6245 6251 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
6246 6252 read the startup info.
6247 6253
6248 6254 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6249 6255
6250 6256 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
6251 6257 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
6252 6258 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
6253 6259 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
6254 6260 type the better off we are.
6255 6261 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
6256 6262 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
6257 6263 before.
6258 6264
6259 6265 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6260 6266
6261 6267 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
6262 6268 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
6263 6269 this later.
6264 6270
6265 6271 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6266 6272
6267 6273 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
6268 6274 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
6269 6275 (they can be triggered by imported code).
6270 6276
6271 6277 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6272 6278
6273 6279 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
6274 6280 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
6275 6281 spitting out only offset information as before.
6276 6282 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
6277 6283 programs with command line args inside IPython.
6278 6284
6279 6285 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6280 6286
6281 6287 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
6282 6288 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
6283 6289 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
6284 6290 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
6285 6291 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
6286 6292 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
6287 6293 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
6288 6294 macros.
6289 6295
6290 6296 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6291 6297
6292 6298 * Released 0.2.4.
6293 6299
6294 6300 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
6295 6301 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
6296 6302 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
6297 6303 re-execution.
6298 6304
6299 6305 * Updated manual with recent changes.
6300 6306
6301 6307 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
6302 6308 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
6303 6309 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
6304 6310 documented, of course :)
6305 6311 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
6306 6312 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
6307 6313 __call__ info for callable object instances.
6308 6314
6309 6315 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6310 6316
6311 6317 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
6312 6318 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
6313 6319 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
6314 6320
6315 6321 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6316 6322
6317 6323 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
6318 6324 so I wanted an updated release).
6319 6325
6320 6326 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6321 6327
6322 6328 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
6323 6329 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
6324 6330 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
6325 6331 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
6326 6332 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
6327 6333
6328 6334 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6329 6335
6330 6336 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
6331 6337 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
6332 6338
6333 6339 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6334 6340
6335 6341 * Released 0.2.2.
6336 6342
6337 6343 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
6338 6344 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
6339 6345 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
6340 6346 versions.
6341 6347
6342 6348 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
6343 6349 (MayaVi author).
6344 6350
6345 6351 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6346 6352
6347 6353 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
6348 6354 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
6349 6355 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
6350 6356 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
6351 6357 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
6352 6358
6353 6359 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
6354 6360 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
6355 6361
6356 6362 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6357 6363
6358 6364 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
6359 6365 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
6360 6366 nice, full-blown manual.
6361 6367
6362 6368 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
6363 6369 trivially simple for end-users.
6364 6370
6365 6371 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6366 6372
6367 6373 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
6368 6374 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
6369 6375
6370 6376 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
6371 6377 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
6372 6378
6373 6379 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6374 6380
6375 6381 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
6376 6382 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
6377 6383 people to later upgrade versions.
6378 6384
6379 6385 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
6380 6386 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
6381 6387 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
6382 6388 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
6383 6389 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
6384 6390 SystemExit).
6385 6391
6386 6392 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
6387 6393 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
6388 6394 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
6389 6395 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
6390 6396 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
6391 6397
6392 6398 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
6393 6399 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
6394 6400 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
6395 6401
6396 6402 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6397 6403
6398 6404 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
6399 6405 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
6400 6406
6401 6407 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
6402 6408 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
6403 6409 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
6404 6410 html docs out of it will be found).
6405 6411
6406 6412 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
6407 6413
6408 6414 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
6409 6415 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
6410 6416
6411 6417 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
6412 6418
6413 6419 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
6414 6420 visiting any directory in _dh.
6415 6421
6416 6422 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
6417 6423 it out with numbers.
6418 6424
6419 6425 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6420 6426
6421 6427 * Released 0.1.22
6422 6428
6423 6429 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
6424 6430 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
6425 6431
6426 6432 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
6427 6433 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
6428 6434 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
6429 6435 screen the necessary mail command.
6430 6436
6431 6437 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
6432 6438 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
6433 6439 guess we should at least give them something readable.
6434 6440
6435 6441 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6436 6442
6437 6443 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
6438 6444 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
6439 6445 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
6440 6446 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
6441 6447 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
6442 6448 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
6443 6449 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
6444 6450 its name).
6445 6451
6446 6452 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
6447 6453 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
6448 6454 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
6449 6455 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
6450 6456
6451 6457 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6452 6458
6453 6459 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
6454 6460 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
6455 6461
6456 6462 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
6457 6463 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
6458 6464
6459 6465 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6460 6466 completion of @-starting lines.
6461 6467
6462 6468 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6463 6469 info that other files can read from.
6464 6470
6465 6471 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6466 6472 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6467 6473 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6468 6474 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6469 6475 restores produce less errors.
6470 6476
6471 6477 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6472 6478 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6473 6479 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6474 6480 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6475 6481 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6476 6482
6477 6483 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6478 6484 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6479 6485 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6480 6486 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6481 6487 with this, finally...
6482 6488
6483 6489 * Small documentation updates.
6484 6490
6485 6491 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6486 6492 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6487 6493 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6488 6494
6489 6495 * File renaming:
6490 6496 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6491 6497 ipplib --> iplib
6492 6498 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6493 6499
6494 6500 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6495 6501 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6496 6502 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6497 6503
6498 6504 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6499 6505 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6500 6506 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6501 6507
6502 6508 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6503 6509
6504 6510 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6505 6511 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6506 6512 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6507 6513 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6508 6514
6509 6515 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6510 6516 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6511 6517 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6512 6518
6513 6519 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6514 6520 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6515 6521 road.
6516 6522
6517 6523 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6518 6524 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6519 6525 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6520 6526 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6521 6527
6522 6528 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6523 6529
6524 6530 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6525 6531 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6526 6532 file accordingly.
6527 6533
6528 6534 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6529 6535 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6530 6536 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6531 6537 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6532 6538 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6533 6539 separators and proper padding and justification.
6534 6540
6535 6541 * Released 0.1.20
6536 6542
6537 6543 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6538 6544 copy operation was missing).
6539 6545
6540 6546 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6541 6547 its output is always quite long.
6542 6548
6543 6549 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6544 6550 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6545 6551 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6546 6552 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6547 6553
6548 6554 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6549 6555 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6550 6556 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6551 6557 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6552 6558
6553 6559 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6554 6560
6555 6561 * Released 0.1.19
6556 6562
6557 6563 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6558 6564 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6559 6565
6560 6566 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6561 6567 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6562 6568 comment on 'macros').
6563 6569
6564 6570 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6565 6571
6566 6572 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6567 6573 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6568 6574 statements and takes parameters.
6569 6575
6570 6576 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6571 6577
6572 6578 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6573 6579
6574 6580 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6575 6581
6576 6582 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6577 6583 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6578 6584
6579 6585 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6580 6586 ipythonrc-* samples.
6581 6587
6582 6588 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6583 6589 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6584 6590
6585 6591 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6586 6592 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6587 6593
6588 6594 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6589 6595
6590 6596 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6591 6597 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6592 6598 convention.
6593 6599
6594 6600 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6595 6601 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6596 6602
6597 6603 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6598 6604
6599 6605 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6600 6606 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6601 6607
6602 6608 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6603 6609 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6604 6610 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6605 6611 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6606 6612 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6607 6613 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6608 6614 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6609 6615 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6610 6616 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6611 6617 works.
6612 6618
6613 6619 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6614 6620
6615 6621 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6616 6622 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6617 6623 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6618 6624 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6619 6625 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6620 6626 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6621 6627 all the editors, less does that.
6622 6628
6623 6629 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6624 6630
6625 6631 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6626 6632 crash IPython.
6627 6633
6628 6634 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6629 6635
6630 6636 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6631 6637
6632 6638 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6633 6639 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6634 6640 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6635 6641 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6636 6642 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6637 6643 work in _ofind.
6638 6644
6639 6645 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6640 6646 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6641 6647 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6642 6648 (famous last words).
6643 6649
6644 6650 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6645 6651 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6646 6652 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6647 6653 windows).
6648 6654
6649 6655 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6650 6656 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6651 6657
6652 6658 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6653 6659 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6654 6660 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6655 6661 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6656 6662
6657 6663 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6658 6664 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6659 6665 licences and announce it.
6660 6666
6661 6667 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6662 6668 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6663 6669 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6664 6670 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6665 6671
6666 6672 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6667 6673
6668 6674 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6669 6675 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6670 6676 lists.
6671 6677
6672 6678 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6673 6679 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6674 6680 are ok.
6675 6681
6676 6682 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6677 6683 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6678 6684
6679 6685 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6680 6686 this to Nathan.
6681 6687
6682 6688 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6683 6689
6684 6690 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6685 6691 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6686 6692 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6687 6693
6688 6694 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6689 6695 accepted). Cleaner.
6690 6696
6691 6697 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6692 6698 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6693 6699 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6694 6700 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6695 6701 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6696 6702
6697 6703 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6698 6704
6699 6705 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6700 6706 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6701 6707 history after a log replay.
6702 6708
6703 6709 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6704 6710 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6705 6711 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6706 6712 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6707 6713 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6708 6714 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6709 6715
6710 6716 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6711 6717 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6712 6718 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6713 6719 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6714 6720 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6715 6721
6716 6722 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6717 6723
6718 6724 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6719 6725 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6720 6726 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6721 6727 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6722 6728 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6723 6729 one: cache_size.
6724 6730
6725 6731 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6726 6732 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6727 6733 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6728 6734 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6729 6735
6730 6736 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6731 6737 @ or not).
6732 6738
6733 6739 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6734 6740 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6735 6741 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6736 6742 about licensing).
6737 6743
6738 6744 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6739 6745
6740 6746 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6741 6747 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6742 6748
6743 6749 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6744 6750 screen size for page() operations.
6745 6751
6746 6752 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6747 6753 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6748 6754 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6749 6755 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6750 6756
6751 6757 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6752 6758 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6753 6759 option name tables are clearer.
6754 6760
6755 6761 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6756 6762 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6757 6763 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6758 6764 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6759 6765 was also changed a little to align better.
6760 6766
6761 6767 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6762 6768 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6763 6769
6764 6770 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6765 6771 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6766 6772 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6767 6773
6768 6774 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6769 6775 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6770 6776 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6771 6777 he needs it.
6772 6778
6773 6779 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6774 6780
6775 6781 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6776 6782 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6777 6783 warning on it.
6778 6784
6779 6785 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6780 6786 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6781 6787 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6782 6788 was too long).
6783 6789
6784 6790 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6785 6791 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6786 6792 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6787 6793
6788 6794 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6789 6795 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6790 6796 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6791 6797 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6792 6798 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6793 6799 function for the same task.
6794 6800
6795 6801 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6796 6802
6797 6803 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6798 6804
6799 6805 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6800 6806 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6801 6807 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6802 6808
6803 6809 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6804 6810 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6805 6811 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6806 6812
6807 6813 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6808 6814 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6809 6815 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6810 6816
6811 6817 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6812 6818
6813 6819 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6814 6820
6815 6821 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6816 6822 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6817 6823 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6818 6824
6819 6825 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6820 6826
6821 6827 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6822 6828
6823 6829 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6824 6830
6825 6831 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6826 6832 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6827 6833 maintain.
6828 6834
6829 6835 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6830 6836 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6831 6837 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6832 6838 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6833 6839 compiled and startup is much faster.
6834 6840
6835 6841 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6836 6842 while without messing too much more with the code.
6837 6843
6838 6844 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6839 6845
6840 6846 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6841 6847
6842 6848 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6843 6849 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6844 6850 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6845 6851
6846 6852 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6847 6853 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6848 6854
6849 6855 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6850 6856 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6851 6857 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6852 6858 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6853 6859 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6854 6860 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6855 6861
6856 6862 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6857 6863 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6858 6864
6859 6865 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6860 6866 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6861 6867
6862 6868 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6863 6869 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6864 6870 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6865 6871 excessive.
6866 6872
6867 6873 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6868 6874 types (only first word was displayed).
6869 6875
6870 6876 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6871 6877
6872 6878 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6873 6879
6874 6880 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6875 6881 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6876 6882 travel along many directories.
6877 6883
6878 6884 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6879 6885 arguments with default values.
6880 6886
6881 6887 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6882 6888
6883 6889 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6884 6890 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6885 6891
6886 6892 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6887 6893
6888 6894 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6889 6895 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6890 6896 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6891 6897
6892 6898 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6893 6899
6894 6900 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6895 6901 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6896 6902 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6897 6903 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6898 6904 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6899 6905 purposes.
6900 6906
6901 6907 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6902 6908 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6903 6909 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6904 6910 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6905 6911 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6906 6912 one can simply say
6907 6913 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6908 6914 or even
6909 6915 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6910 6916
6911 6917 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6912 6918 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6913 6919 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6914 6920
6915 6921 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6916 6922 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6917 6923 they were defined in
6918 6924
6919 6925 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6920 6926
6921 6927 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6922 6928 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6923 6929 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6924 6930 these to show the same information.
6925 6931
6926 6932 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6927 6933
6928 6934 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6929 6935 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6930 6936 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6931 6937 backtracked on the whole class!)
6932 6938
6933 6939 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6934 6940 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6935 6941 everything works as before).
6936 6942
6937 6943 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6938 6944 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6939 6945 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6940 6946 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.

6942 6948 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6943 6949
6944 6950 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6945 6951
6946 6952 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6947 6953 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6948 6954
6949 6955 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6950 6956 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6951 6957 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6952 6958 this later.
6953 6959
6954 6960 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6955 6961
6956 6962 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6957 6963 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6958 6964 line option.
6959 6965
6960 6966 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6961 6967 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6962 6968 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6963 6969 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6964 6970 didn't return a result).
6965 6971
6966 6972 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6967 6973
6968 6974 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6969 6975
6970 6976 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6971 6977 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6972 6978 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6973 6979 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6974 6980
6975 6981 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6976 6982
6977 6983 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6978 6984
6979 6985 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6980 6986 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6981 6987
6982 6988 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6983 6989 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6984 6990 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6985 6991 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6986 6992 in with the next entry:
6987 6993
6988 6994 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6989 6995 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6990 6996 handling.
6991 6997
6992 6998 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6993 6999 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6994 7000 namespace protection and documentation.
6995 7001
6996 7002 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6997 7003
6998 7004 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6999 7005 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
7000 7006
7001 7007 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
7002 7008
7003 7009 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7004 7010
7005 7011 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
7006 7012
7007 7013 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
7008 7014 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
7009 7015 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
7010 7016 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
7011 7017 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
7012 7018
7013 7019 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
7014 7020 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
7015 7021 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
7016 7022
7017 7023 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
7018 7024
7019 7025 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
7020 7026 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
7021 7027
7022 7028 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7023 7029
7024 7030 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
7025 7031
7026 7032 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
7027 7033 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
7028 7034 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
7029 7035 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
7030 7036 ScientificPython.
7031 7037
7032 7038 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7033 7039
7034 7040 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
7035 7041 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
7036 7042 when called with no args.
7037 7043
7038 7044 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
7039 7045 closely.
7040 7046
7041 7047 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
7042 7048 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
7043 7049 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
7044 7050 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
7045 7051 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
7046 7052
7047 7053 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7048 7054
7049 7055 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
7050 7056 customizations there and access them via import.
7051 7057
7052 7058 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7053 7059
7054 7060 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
7055 7061
7056 7062 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
7057 7063 Nathan and Janko.
7058 7064
7059 7065 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
7060 7066
7061 7067 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
7062 7068 too long.
7063 7069
7064 7070 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
7065 7071
7066 7072 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
7067 7073 ?sin and sin?
7068 7074 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
7069 7075 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
7070 7076 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
7071 7077 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
7072 7078
7073 7079 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7074 7080
7075 7081 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
7076 7082
7077 7083 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
7078 7084 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
7079 7085
7080 7086 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
7081 7087 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
7082 7088 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
7083 7089 me).
7084 7090
7085 7091 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
7086 7092 protected (reasonably).
7087 7093
7088 7094 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
7089 7095 note through it (it was too long).
7090 7096
7091 7097 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
7092 7098 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
7093 7099 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
7094 7100 parameters.
7095 7101
7096 7102
7097 7103 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7098 7104
7099 7105 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
7100 7106 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
7101 7107 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
7102 7108
7103 7109 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
7104 7110 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
7105 7111 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
7106 7112
7107 7113 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
7108 7114
7109 7115 Changes to InteractiveShell:
7110 7116
7111 7117 - Made the usage message a parameter.
7112 7118
7113 7119 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
7114 7120 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
7115 7121 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
7116 7122 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
7117 7123 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
7118 7124 break.
7119 7125
7120 7126 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
7121 7127 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
7122 7128 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
7123 7129 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
7124 7130 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
7125 7131 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
7126 7132
7127 7133 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
7128 7134 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
7129 7135 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
7130 7136 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
7131 7137 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
7132 7138 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
7133 7139 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
7134 7140 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
7135 7141 trick.
7136 7142
7137 7143 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
7138 7144 session restoring.
7139 7145
7140 7146 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
7141 7147 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
7142 7148 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
7143 7149 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
7144 7150 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
7145 7151
7146 7152 * Started ChangeLog.
