3 | * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by | |
|
4 | Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>. | |
|
5 | ||
|
6 | * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57 | |
|
7 | by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin | |
|
8 | <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under | |
|
9 | XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps | |
|
10 | under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported. | |

|
3 | 14 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py |
|
4 | 15 | from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>. |

|
8 | 19 | * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by |
|

|
12 | 23 | |
|
13 | 24 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for |
|
14 | 25 | line ranges works again. |
|
15 | 26 | |
|
16 | 27 | 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
17 | 28 | |
|
18 | 29 | * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback |
|
19 | 30 | and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user. |
|
20 | 31 | I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking aobut it quite a bit, it may |
|
21 | 32 | be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any |
|
22 | 33 | problems, but let's keep an eye out. |
|
23 | 34 | |
|
24 | 35 | In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling |
|
25 | 36 | self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a |
|
26 | 37 | mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling |
|
27 | 38 | self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and |
|
28 | 39 | more. |

|
31 | 42 | |
|
32 | 43 | * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module. |
|
33 | 44 | To use, do "from ipipe import *". |
|
34 | 45 | |
|
35 | 46 | 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
36 | 47 | |
|
37 | 48 | * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more |
|
38 | 49 | "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism. |
|
39 | 50 | |
|
40 | 51 | 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
41 | 52 | |
|
42 | 53 | * Magic.py: %save works again. |
|

|
44 | 55 | 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
45 | 56 | |
|
46 | 57 | * Magic.py: %Pprint works again |
|
47 | 58 | |
|
48 | 59 | * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided |
|
49 | 60 | in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty |
|
50 | 61 | ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration) |
|
51 | 62 | |
|
52 | 63 | |
|
53 | 64 | 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
54 | 65 | |
|
55 | 66 | * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command, |
|
56 | 67 | to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching |
|
57 | 68 | Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at |
|
58 | 69 | http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries |
|
59 | 70 | |
|
60 | 71 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when |
|
61 | 72 | describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time). |
|
62 | 73 | |
|
63 | 74 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch |
|
64 | 75 | contributed by marienz to close |
|
65 | 76 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53. |
|

|
67 | 78 | 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
68 | 79 | |
|
69 | 80 | * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too |
|
70 | 81 | |
|
71 | 82 | * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked |
|
72 | 83 | at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store" |
|
73 | 84 | nonsense. |
|
74 | 85 | |
|
75 | 86 | 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
76 | 87 | |
|
77 | 88 | * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally). |
|
78 | 89 | '%run runtests.py' to run test_*. |
|
79 | 90 | |
|
80 | 91 | * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc |
|
81 | 92 | |
|
82 | 93 | 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
83 | 94 | |
|
84 | 95 | * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall, |
|
85 | 96 | instead use "f(1 2)" as before. |
|
86 | 97 | |
|
87 | 98 | 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
88 | 99 | |
|
89 | 100 | * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo |
|
90 | 101 | facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter |
|
91 | 102 | (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a |
|
92 | 103 | demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed |
|
93 | 104 | input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the |
|
94 | 105 | SAGE team. |
|
95 | 106 | (Demo.edit): added and edit() method to the demo objects, to edit |
|
96 | 107 | the in-memory copy of the last executed block. |
|
97 | 108 | |
|
98 | 109 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw' |
|
99 | 110 | processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be |
|
100 | 111 | invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user |
|
101 | 112 | (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team |
|
102 | 113 | at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html. |
|
103 | 114 | |
|
104 | 115 | 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
105 | 116 | |
|
106 | 117 | * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works |
|
107 | 118 | correctly now (on Linux) |
|
108 | 119 | |
|
109 | 120 | * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious |
|
110 | 121 | warnings |
|
111 | 122 | |
|
112 | 123 | * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is. |
|
113 | 124 | |
|
114 | 125 | * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents. |
|
115 | 126 | |
|
116 | 127 | |
|
117 | 128 | 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
118 | 129 | |
|
119 | 130 | * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul. |
|
120 | 131 | Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that |
|
121 | 132 | concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the |
|
122 | 133 | same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of |
|
123 | 134 | the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark |
|
124 | 135 | results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database |
|
125 | 136 | is also available for use by user extensions. See: |
|
126 | 137 | http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare |
|
127 | 138 | |
|
128 | 139 | * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'. |
|
129 | 140 | |
|
130 | 141 | * aliases can now be %store'd |
|
131 | 142 | |
|
132 | 143 | * path.py move to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need |
|
133 | 144 | IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right |
|
134 | 145 | at __init__. |
|
135 | 146 | |
|
136 | 147 | * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and |
|
137 | 148 | called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string. |
|
138 | 149 | |
|
139 | 150 | 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
140 | 151 | |
|
141 | 152 | * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching |
|
142 | 153 | KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the |
|
143 | 154 | logic here had to change, but it's fixed now. |
|
144 | 155 | |
|
145 | 156 | 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
146 | 157 | |
|
147 | 158 | * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows. |
|
148 | 159 | |
|
149 | 160 | 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
150 | 161 | |
|
151 | 162 | * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace. |
|
152 | 163 | Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system) |
|
153 | 164 | and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and ! |
|
154 | 165 | syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands. |
|
155 | 166 | |
|
156 | 167 | * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws |
|
157 | 168 | user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting. |
|
158 | 169 | |
|
159 | 170 | 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
160 | 171 | |
|
161 | 172 | * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without |
|
162 | 173 | 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line. |
|
163 | 174 | NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts |
|
164 | 175 | ("ipython a.py b.py c.py") |
|
165 | 176 | |
|
166 | 177 | * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter, |
|
167 | 178 | named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example |
|
168 | 179 | usage. |
|
169 | 180 | |
|
170 | 181 | * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture |
|
171 | 182 | through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation |
|
172 | 183 | applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var. |
|
173 | 184 | |
|
174 | 185 | * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store. |
|
175 | 186 | |
|
176 | 187 | * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be |
|
177 | 188 | written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly. |
|
178 | 189 | |
|
179 | 190 | * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and |
|
180 | 191 | %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean |
|
181 | 192 | textual form, not a restorable pickle). |
|
182 | 193 | |
|
183 | 194 | * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically |
|
184 | 195 | |
|
185 | 196 | * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref |
|
186 | 197 | |
|
187 | 198 | * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2). |
|
188 | 199 | |
|
189 | 200 | * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args |
|
190 | 201 | are now more helpful: |
|
191 | 202 | GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" ) |
|
192 | 203 | |
|
193 | 204 | 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
194 | 205 | |
|
195 | 206 | * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so |
|
196 | 207 | computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo. |
|
197 | 208 | |
|
198 | 209 | 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
199 | 210 | |
|
200 | 211 | * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None |
|
201 | 212 | value to manipulate resulting history entry. |
|
202 | 213 | |
|
203 | 214 | * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions |
|
204 | 215 | to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded |
|
205 | 216 | IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage. |
|
206 | 217 | |
|
207 | 218 | * Merged 1071-1076 from banches/0.7.1 |
|
208 | 219 | |
|
209 | 220 | |
|
210 | 221 | 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
211 | 222 | |
|
212 | 223 | * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new |
|
213 | 224 | eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs. |
|
214 | 225 | |
|
215 | 226 | * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release. |
|
216 | 227 | |
|
217 | 228 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to |
|
218 | 229 | see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls -> |
|
219 | 230 | ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE |
|
220 | 231 | (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is |
|
221 | 232 | stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so |
|
222 | 233 | developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance). |
|
223 | 234 | |
|
224 | 235 | * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn |
|
225 | 236 | |
|
226 | 237 | * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates |
|
227 | 238 | proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in |
|
228 | 239 | \python24\scripts). |
|
229 | 240 | |
|
230 | 241 | * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the |
|
231 | 242 | egg. |
|
232 | 243 | |
|
233 | 244 | 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
234 | 245 | |
|
235 | 246 | * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code |
|
236 | 247 | |
|
237 | 248 | 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
238 | 249 | |
|
239 | 250 | * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057 |
|
240 | 251 | |
|
241 | 252 | * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn |
|
242 | 253 | |
|
243 | 254 | * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates |
|
244 | 255 | proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in |
|
245 | 256 | \python24\scripts). |
|
246 | 257 | |
|
247 | 258 | * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the |
|
248 | 259 | egg. |
|
249 | 260 | |
|
250 | 261 | 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
251 | 262 | |
|
252 | 263 | * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or |
|
253 | 264 | %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary. |
|
254 | 265 | Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped. |
|
255 | 266 | |
|
256 | 267 | * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading |
|
257 | 268 | bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100% |
|
258 | 269 | sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release |
|
259 | 270 | today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days. |
|
260 | 271 | |
|
261 | 272 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt |
|
262 | 273 | it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on. |
|
263 | 274 | To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most |
|
264 | 275 | users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level |
|
265 | 276 | proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can |
|
266 | 277 | add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three |
|
267 | 278 | or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will |
|
268 | 279 | accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure |
|
269 | 280 | whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a |
|
270 | 281 | different solution that covers all the cases, with the right |
|
271 | 282 | heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice |
|
272 | 283 | all these strange rules and things will 'just work'. |
|
273 | 284 | |
|
274 | 285 | 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
275 | 286 | |
|
276 | 287 | * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be |
|
277 | 288 | triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an |
|
278 | 289 | automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley |
|
279 | 290 | <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>. |
|
280 | 291 | |
|
281 | 292 | 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
282 | 293 | |
|
283 | 294 | * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example |
|
284 | 295 | (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython |
|
285 | 296 | with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make |
|
286 | 297 | importing extensions easy. |
|
287 | 298 | |
|
288 | 299 | * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared |
|
289 | 300 | classes / instances of those classes. |
|
290 | 301 | |
|
291 | 302 | * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, |
|
292 | 303 | ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported |
|
293 | 304 | if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for |
|
294 | 305 | the user. |
|
295 | 306 | |
|
296 | 307 | * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec. |
|
297 | 308 | This means system commands are available even without selecting the |
|
298 | 309 | pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all. |
|
299 | 310 | |
|
300 | 311 | 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
301 | 312 | |
|
302 | 313 | * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of |
|
303 | 314 | multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not |
|
304 | 315 | sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled |
|
305 | 316 | version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and |
|
306 | 317 | others may also catch any problems. Also made |
|
307 | 318 | self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no |
|
308 | 319 | chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string |
|
309 | 320 | falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call |
|
310 | 321 | the method. |
|

|
313 | 324 | |
|
314 | 325 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't |
|
315 | 326 | save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section. |
|
316 | 327 | |
|
317 | 328 | 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
318 | 329 | |
|
319 | 330 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from |
|
320 | 331 | script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by |
|
321 | 332 | Vivian. |
|
322 | 333 | |
|
323 | 334 | * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d' |
|
324 | 335 | when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and |
|
325 | 336 | we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up |
|
326 | 337 | readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working). |
|
327 | 338 | After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>. |

|
330 | 341 | |
|
331 | 342 | * Ipython/magic.py:Reverted back to old %edit functionality |
|
332 | 343 | that returns file contents on exit. |
|
333 | 344 | |
|
334 | 345 | * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to |
|
335 | 346 | IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/. |
|
336 | 347 | You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.: |
|
337 | 348 | sc files=ls |
|
338 | 349 | for p in files.paths: # or files.p |
|
339 | 350 | print p,p.mtime |
|
340 | 351 | |
|
341 | 352 | * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall |
|
342 | 353 | now work again without considering the exclusion regexp - |
|
343 | 354 | hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")' |
|
344 | 355 | instead of syntax error. |
|
345 | 356 | |

|
348 | 359 | |
|
349 | 360 | * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience |
|
350 | 361 | ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc |
|
351 | 362 | data. |
|
352 | 363 | |
|
353 | 364 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes |
|
354 | 365 | as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after |
|
355 | 366 | backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space; |
|
356 | 367 | "%cd long\ name" works as expected. |
|
357 | 368 | |
|
358 | 369 | * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented |
|
359 | 370 | as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same, |
|
360 | 371 | TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that |
|
361 | 372 | current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as |
|
362 | 373 | suggested by Walter Dörwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also |
|
363 | 374 | requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented. |
|
364 | 375 | |
|
365 | 376 | 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
366 | 377 | |
|
367 | 378 | * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions, |
|
368 | 379 | so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal |
|
369 | 380 | label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to |
|
370 | 381 | current dir. |
|
371 | 382 | |
|
372 | 383 | * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list, |
|
373 | 384 | had to create new files. |
|
374 | 385 | |
|
375 | 386 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in |
|
376 | 387 | shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the |
|
377 | 388 | future. |
|
378 | 389 | |
|
379 | 390 | * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public" |
|
380 | 391 | extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix |
|
381 | 392 | OInspect for docstring-less magic functions. |
|
382 | 393 | |
|
383 | 394 | |
|
384 | 395 | 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
385 | 396 | |
|
386 | 397 | * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all |
|
387 | 398 | attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It |
|
388 | 399 | introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a |
|
389 | 400 | robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit |
|
390 | 401 | later. |
|
391 | 402 | |
|
392 | 403 | * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped |
|
393 | 404 | 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method. |
|
394 | 405 | |
|
395 | 406 | 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
396 | 407 | |
|
397 | 408 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp |
|
398 | 409 | matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary |
|
399 | 410 | operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in'). |
|
400 | 411 | Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had |
|
401 | 412 | many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is |
|
402 | 413 | self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented. |
|
403 | 414 | |
|
404 | 415 | 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com> |
|
405 | 416 | |
|
406 | 417 | * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape): |
|
407 | 418 | Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(), |
|
408 | 419 | ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to |
|
409 | 420 | %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the |
|
410 | 421 | ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience, |
|
411 | 422 | particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that |
|
412 | 423 | won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd |
|
413 | 424 | magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also |
|
414 | 425 | deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in |
|
415 | 426 | !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions. |
|
416 | 427 | |
|
417 | 428 | * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to |
|
418 | 429 | use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed |
|
419 | 430 | by Jörgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates |
|
420 | 431 | doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date. |
|
421 | 432 | |
|
422 | 433 | * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for |
|
423 | 434 | zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python |
|
424 | 435 | ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to kee doing |
|
425 | 436 | "setup.py install" between changes). |
|
426 | 437 | |
|
427 | 438 | * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions: |
|
428 | 439 | if 1: |
|
429 | 440 | !ls |
|
430 | 441 | !!ls |
|
431 | 442 | |
|
432 | 443 | 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
433 | 444 | |
|
434 | 445 | * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to |
|
435 | 446 | IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct' |
|
436 | 447 | module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes |
|
437 | 448 | under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49. |
|
438 | 449 | |
|
439 | 450 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart |
|
440 | 451 | <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes |
|
441 | 452 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51. |

|
443 | 454 | 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
444 | 455 | |
|
445 | 456 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the the |
|
446 | 457 | problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under |
|
447 | 458 | win32. |
|
448 | 459 | |
|
449 | 460 | 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0 |
|
450 | 461 | |
|
451 | 462 | 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
452 | 463 | |
|
453 | 464 | * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0, |
|
454 | 465 | ready for release. |
|
455 | 466 | |
|
456 | 467 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so |
|
457 | 468 | it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can |
|
458 | 469 | help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know |
|
459 | 470 | where to copy the info from. |
|
460 | 471 | |
|
461 | 472 | 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
462 | 473 | |
|
463 | 474 | * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added |
|
464 | 475 | support in the release tools as well. |
|
465 | 476 | |
|
466 | 477 | 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
467 | 478 | |
|
468 | 479 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython |
|
469 | 480 | version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc |
|
470 | 481 | parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker |
|
471 | 482 | <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>. |
|
472 | 483 | |
|
473 | 484 | * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in |
|
474 | 485 | embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive |
|
475 | 486 | prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd. |
|
476 | 487 | |
|
477 | 488 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now |
|
478 | 489 | it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter. |
|
479 | 490 | |
|
480 | 491 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which |
|
481 | 492 | could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback |
|
482 | 493 | printer not to work. |
|
483 | 494 | |

484 | 495 | 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
485 | 496 | |
|
486 | 497 | * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes |
|
487 | 498 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott. |
|
488 | 499 | |
|
489 | 500 | 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
490 | 501 | |
|
491 | 502 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK |
|
492 | 503 | backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie |
|
493 | 504 | Moad for help with tracking it down. |
|
494 | 505 | |
|
495 | 506 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for |
|
496 | 507 | objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x] |
|
497 | 508 | is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically). |
|
498 | 509 | |
|
499 | 510 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used. |
|
500 | 511 | Ville's patch. |
|
501 | 512 | |
|
502 | 513 | 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
503 | 514 | |
|
504 | 515 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to |
|
505 | 516 | include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT |
|
506 | 517 | applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to |
|
507 | 518 | just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form, |
|
508 | 519 | instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a |
|
509 | 520 | mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you |
|
510 | 521 | need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file. |
|
511 | 522 | |
|
512 | 523 | * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add |
|
513 | 524 | tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by |
|
514 | 525 | Arnd and a patch by Prabhu. |
|
515 | 526 | |
|
516 | 527 | 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
517 | 528 | |
|
518 | 529 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex |
|
519 | 530 | Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes(). |
|
520 | 531 | |
|
521 | 532 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes |
|
522 | 533 | for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items |
|
523 | 534 | added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and |
|
524 | 535 | recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure |
|
525 | 536 | I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain |
|
526 | 537 | twister). |
|
527 | 538 | |
|
528 | 539 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory |
|
529 | 540 | macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit |
|
530 | 541 | also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise. |
|
531 | 542 | |
|
532 | 543 | * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to |
|
533 | 544 | complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it |
|
534 | 545 | cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the |
|
535 | 546 | internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__ |
|
536 | 547 | attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see |
|
537 | 548 | something inside the dis module. |
|
538 | 549 | |
|
539 | 550 | 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
540 | 551 | |
|
541 | 552 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta |
|
542 | 553 | namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This |
|
543 | 554 | follows the discussion in |
|
544 | 555 | http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython. |
|
545 | 556 | |
|
546 | 557 | * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help |
|
547 | 558 | tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard |
|
548 | 559 | <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>. |
|
549 | 560 | |
|
550 | 561 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for |
|
551 | 562 | the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M |
|
552 | 563 | (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save. |
|
553 | 564 | |
|
554 | 565 | * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which |
|
555 | 566 | define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey |
|
556 | 567 | Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and |
|
557 | 568 | speed up this routine. |
|
558 | 569 | |
|
559 | 570 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I |
|
560 | 571 | don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is |
|
561 | 572 | certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros, |
|
562 | 573 | slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in |
|
563 | 574 | general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the |
|
564 | 575 | in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount |
|
565 | 576 | (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing |
|
566 | 577 | %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines. |
|
567 | 578 | |
|
568 | 579 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause |
|
569 | 580 | pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring |
|
570 | 581 | it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate). |
|
571 | 582 | |
|
572 | 583 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now |
|
573 | 584 | using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell |
|
574 | 585 | class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and |
|
575 | 586 | misteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but |
|
576 | 587 | setters don't do anything). |
|
577 | 588 | |
|
578 | 589 | 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
579 | 590 | |
|
580 | 591 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I |
|
581 | 592 | know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a |
|
582 | 593 | reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is |
|
583 | 594 | falling out of sync...) |
|
584 | 595 | |
|
585 | 596 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both |
|
586 | 597 | aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such |
|
587 | 598 | as loops). |
|
588 | 599 | |
|
589 | 600 | * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for |
|
590 | 601 | win32 system access. |
|
591 | 602 | |
|
592 | 603 | 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
593 | 604 | |
|
594 | 605 | * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the |
|
595 | 606 | sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non |
|
596 | 607 | thread-safe. |
|
597 | 608 | (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER |
|
598 | 609 | introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that |
|
599 | 610 | having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute |
|
600 | 611 | 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It |
|
601 | 612 | is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects |
|
602 | 613 | can still happen. |
|
603 | 614 | (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system} |
|
604 | 615 | trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are |
|
605 | 616 | not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method |
|
606 | 617 | be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at |
|
607 | 618 | the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation |
|
608 | 619 | structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more |
|
609 | 620 | cleanly. |
|
610 | 621 | |
|
611 | 622 | * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone |
|
612 | 623 | file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the |
|
613 | 624 | persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path |
|
614 | 625 | doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for |
|
615 | 626 | users' persisted data. |
|
616 | 627 | |
|
617 | 628 | * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation |
|
618 | 629 | management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard |
|
619 | 630 | interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed |
|
620 | 631 | multiline input (such as macros). |
|
621 | 632 | |
|
622 | 633 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der |
|
623 | 634 | Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings, |
|
624 | 635 | which was producing problems in the resulting manual. |
|
625 | 636 | (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class, |
|
626 | 637 | instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly |
|
627 | 638 | informative). |
|
628 | 639 | |
|
629 | 640 | * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch |
|
630 | 641 | (minor mods) to support network shares under win32. |
|
631 | 642 | |
|
632 | 643 | * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole |
|
633 | 644 | module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under |
|
634 | 645 | win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>. |
|
635 | 646 | |
|
636 | 647 | * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just |
|
637 | 648 | subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long |
|
638 | 649 | time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No |
|
639 | 650 | more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to |
|
640 | 651 | 2.3-specific features quite yet). |
|
641 | 652 | (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable |
|
642 | 653 | persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie |
|
643 | 654 | <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full |
|
644 | 655 | details. |
|
645 | 656 | |
|
646 | 657 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization): |
|
647 | 658 | changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to |
|
648 | 659 | 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that |
|
649 | 660 | we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to |
|
650 | 661 | want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly. |
|
651 | 662 | |
|
652 | 663 | * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop |
|
653 | 664 | using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out |
|
654 | 665 | there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I |
|
655 | 666 | cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with |
|
656 | 667 | breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated. |
|
657 | 668 | |
|
658 | 669 | * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin |
|
659 | 670 | anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New |
|
660 | 671 | features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging |
|
661 | 672 | of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o |
|
662 | 673 | options to %logstart. Closes |
|
663 | 674 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by |
|
664 | 675 | William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage). |

667 | 678 | |
|
668 | 679 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to |
|
669 | 680 | better hadnle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows |
|
670 | 681 | questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user |
|

|
673 | 684 | |
|
674 | 685 | (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells. |
|
675 | 686 | |
|
676 | 687 | (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the |
|
677 | 688 | ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not, |
|
678 | 689 | as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would |
|
679 | 690 | always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't. |
|
680 | 691 | |
|
681 | 692 | The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been |
|
682 | 693 | synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get |
|
683 | 694 | verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added |
|
684 | 695 | support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well, |
|
685 | 696 | so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime. |
|
686 | 697 | |
|
687 | 698 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag |
|
688 | 699 | true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since |
|
689 | 700 | this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it |
|
690 | 701 | true by default. |
|
691 | 702 | |
|
692 | 703 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead |
|
693 | 704 | of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think |
|
694 | 705 | this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have |
|
695 | 706 | a special role in the middle of the core code. |
|
696 | 707 | |
|
697 | 708 | 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
698 | 709 | |
|
699 | 710 | * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for |
|
700 | 711 | automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error |
|
701 | 712 | in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at: |
|
702 | 713 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified |
|
703 | 714 | version committed). |
|
704 | 715 | |
|
705 | 716 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line |
|
706 | 717 | input with emtpy lines. This fixes |
|
707 | 718 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar |
|
708 | 719 | discussion on the user list. |
|
709 | 720 | |
|
710 | 721 | WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support |
|
711 | 722 | blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT |
|
712 | 723 | break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by |
|
713 | 724 | default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit. |
|
714 | 725 | |
|
715 | 726 | Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have: |
|
716 | 727 | |
|
717 | 728 | - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or |
|
718 | 729 | - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided |
|
719 | 730 | by the autoindent (add or remove a space). |
|
720 | 731 | |
|
721 | 732 | * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer' |
|
722 | 733 | module to better organize all readline-related functionality. |
|
723 | 734 | I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here. |
|
724 | 735 | |
|
725 | 736 | * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management. |
|
726 | 737 | It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and |
|
727 | 738 | the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on |
|
728 | 739 | screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython). |
|
729 | 740 | (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an |
|
730 | 741 | otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing |
|
731 | 742 | on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the |
|
732 | 743 | TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine |
|
733 | 744 | <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net> |
|
734 | 745 | (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit' |
|
735 | 746 | does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as |
|
736 | 747 | possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may |
|
737 | 748 | change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect). |
|
738 | 749 | Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's |
|
739 | 750 | '>>>' prompt doesn't. |
|
740 | 751 | (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole |
|
741 | 752 | class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've |
|
742 | 753 | copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone |
|
743 | 754 | class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw |
|
744 | 755 | branch refactoring. |
|

|
747 | 758 | |
|
748 | 759 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against |
|
749 | 760 | failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them. |
|
750 | 761 | |
|
751 | 762 | * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for |
|
752 | 763 | distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This |
|
753 | 764 | change allows us top properly handle completion with distinct |
|
754 | 765 | scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really |
|
755 | 766 | worked correctly). |
|
756 | 767 | |
|
757 | 768 | Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for |
|
758 | 769 | MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the |
|
759 | 770 | second argument (the others were bumped one position). |
|

|
762 | 773 | |
|
763 | 774 | * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in |
|
764 | 775 | embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's |
|
765 | 776 | frame-handling fixes for pdb). |
|
766 | 777 | (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in |
|
767 | 778 | embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally, |
|
768 | 779 | and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython; |
|
769 | 780 | embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to |
|
770 | 781 | a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com> |

|
773 | 784 | |
|
774 | 785 | * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the |
|
775 | 786 | download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans |
|
776 | 787 | browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs |
|
777 | 788 | machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion |
|
778 | 789 | on this. |

|
781 | 792 | |
|
782 | 793 | * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements. |
|
783 | 794 | This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now |
|
784 | 795 | has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling |
|
785 | 796 | than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt |
|
786 | 797 | <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches. |

|
789 | 800 | |
|
790 | 801 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling |
|
791 | 802 | sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The |
|
792 | 803 | inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis |
|
793 | 804 | <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report. |

|
796 | 807 | |
|
797 | 808 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization): |
|
798 | 809 | Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would |
|
799 | 810 | cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson. |
|

|
802 | 813 | |
|
803 | 814 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve |
|
804 | 815 | startup time. |
|
805 | 816 | |
|
806 | 817 | * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded |
|
807 | 818 | instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now |
|
808 | 819 | it's working in all cases. |
|
809 | 820 | |
|
810 | 821 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and |
|
811 | 822 | API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive' |
|
812 | 823 | has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the |
|
813 | 824 | searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a |
|
814 | 825 | per-search basis. |

817 | 828 | |
|
818 | 829 | * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of |
|
819 | 830 | attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version |
|
820 | 831 | of a patch by Jorgen. |

|
823 | 834 | |
|
824 | 835 | * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for |
|
825 | 836 | embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the |
|
826 | 837 | InteractiveShell class to handle this. |
|
827 | 838 | |

|
829 | 840 | |
|
830 | 841 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to |
|
831 | 842 | idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6 |
|
832 | 843 | (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms). |

|
836 | 847 | |
|
837 | 848 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard |
|
838 | 849 | patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a |
|
839 | 850 | and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full |
|
840 | 851 | docstrings. Many thanks to Jörgen Stenarson |
|
841 | 852 | <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches |
|
842 | 853 | implementing this functionality. |

|
846 | 857 | * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in |
|
847 | 858 | --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This |
|
848 | 859 | is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks |
|
849 | 860 | to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed |
|
850 | 861 | help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball |
|
851 | 862 | rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users |
|
852 | 863 | when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone. |

|
855 | 866 | |
|
856 | 867 | * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import, |
|
857 | 868 | reported by Stephen Walton. |
|
858 | 869 | |
|
859 | 870 | 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
860 | 871 | |
|
861 | 872 | * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now. |
|
862 | 873 | |
|
863 | 874 | * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a |
|
864 | 875 | file and ensure it's closed afterwards. |
|
865 | 876 | |
|
866 | 877 | 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
867 | 878 | |
|
868 | 879 | * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually |
|
869 | 880 | tagging blocks for automatic execution. |
|
870 | 881 | |
|
871 | 882 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing |
|
872 | 883 | syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John. |
|
873 | 884 | |
|
874 | 885 | 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu> |
|
875 | 886 | |
|
876 | 887 | * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after |
|
877 | 888 | finishing. |
|
878 | 889 | |
|
879 | 890 | * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here, |
|
880 | 891 | where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py. |
|
881 | 892 | |
|
882 | 893 | * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent |
|
883 | 894 | blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written. |
|
884 | 895 | (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv. |
|
885 | 896 | |
|
886 | 897 | * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo |
|
887 | 898 | code, handy in general. |
|
888 | 899 | |
|
889 | 900 | * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive |
|
890 | 901 | demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for |
|
891 | 902 | scipy'05. Will docstring later. |
|

|
894 | 905 | |
|
895 | 906 | * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which |
|
896 | 907 | also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is |
|
897 | 908 | so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more |
|
898 | 909 | testing, though. |
|
899 | 910 | (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something |
|
900 | 911 | like this before... |
|
901 | 912 | |
|
902 | 913 | * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against |
|
903 | 914 | non-dirs in win32 registry. |
|
904 | 915 | |
|
905 | 916 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix |
|
906 | 917 | bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash). |
|

910 | 921 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from |
|
911 | 922 | spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by |
|
912 | 923 | F. Mantegazza. |

|
915 | 926 | |
|
916 | 927 | * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0") |
|
917 | 928 | calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause |
|
918 | 929 | problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter). |
|
919 | 930 | |
|
920 | 931 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if |
|
921 | 932 | os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl |
|
922 | 933 | <chmod007-AT-mac.com>. |
|
923 | 934 | (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from |
|
924 | 935 | being shadowed by aliases. Closes |

|
928 | 939 | |
|
929 | 940 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new |
|
930 | 941 | top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism |
|
931 | 942 | beyond readline-based environments. |

934 | 945 | |
|
935 | 946 | * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture. |
|
936 | 947 | |
|
937 | 948 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline |
|
938 | 949 | attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a |
|
939 | 950 | routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the |
|
940 | 951 | instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash. |
|
941 | 952 | Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40. |

944 | 955 | |
|
945 | 956 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object |
|
946 | 957 | contains non-string attribute. Closes |
|

953 | 964 | 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
954 | 965 | |
|
955 | 966 | * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src |
|
956 | 967 | attribute. I realized this is nothing more than |
|
957 | 968 | '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different |
|
958 | 969 | places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact |
|
959 | 970 | people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn |
|
960 | 971 | ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them). |

963 | 974 | |
|
964 | 975 | * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators) |
|
965 | 976 | |
|
966 | 977 | 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
967 | 978 | |
|
968 | 979 | * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with |
|
969 | 980 | invalid $HOME under win32. |
|
970 | 981 | |
|
971 | 982 | 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
972 | 983 | |
|
973 | 984 | * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove |
|
974 | 985 | some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be |
|
975 | 986 | simpler and a bit faster. |
|
976 | 987 | |
|
977 | 988 | * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts |
|
978 | 989 | to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it |
|
979 | 990 | harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration), |
|
980 | 991 | and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice |
|
981 | 992 | (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner). |
|
982 | 993 | |
|
983 | 994 | * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff. |
|
984 | 995 | Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should |
|
985 | 996 | make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future. |
|
986 | 997 | |
|
987 | 998 | * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh, |
|
988 | 999 | which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville). |
|
989 | 1000 | |
|
990 | 1001 | * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not |
|
991 | 1002 | be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This |
|
992 | 1003 | will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other |
|
993 | 1004 | cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode |
|
994 | 1005 | shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we |
|
995 | 1006 | assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible |
|
996 | 1007 | setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it. |
|
997 | 1008 | |
|
998 | 1009 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack. |
|
999 | 1010 | |
|
1000 | 1011 | * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator. |
|
1001 | 1012 | |
|
1002 | 1013 | * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils. |
|
1003 | 1014 | |
|
1004 | 1015 | * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other |
|
1005 | 1016 | code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3. |
|
1006 | 1017 | |
|
1007 | 1018 | 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1008 | 1019 | |
|
1009 | 1020 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable |
|
1010 | 1021 | out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception |
|
1011 | 1022 | tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime. |
|
1012 | 1023 | This is a minimally modified version of the patch at |
|
1013 | 1024 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw |
|
1014 | 1025 | for the contribution. |
|
1015 | 1026 | |
|
1016 | 1027 | * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a |
|
1017 | 1028 | slightly modified version of the patch in |
|
1018 | 1029 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me |
|
1019 | 1030 | to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier). |
|
1020 | 1031 | Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix. |

1021 | 1032 | |

1022 | 1033 | 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1023 | 1034 | |
|
1024 | 1035 | * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all |
|
1025 | 1036 | I/O a bit more. |
|
1026 | 1037 | |
|
1027 | 1038 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation |
|
1028 | 1039 | warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter. |
|
1029 | 1040 | |

1033 | 1044 | |
|
1034 | 1045 | * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix |
|
1035 | 1046 | tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that |
|
1036 | 1047 | this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the |
|
1037 | 1048 | readline delimiters configuration to read: |
|
1038 | 1049 | |
|
1039 | 1050 | readline_remove_delims -/~ |

|
1056 | 1067 | |
|
1057 | 1068 | * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be |
|
1058 | 1069 | left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files). |
|
1059 | 1070 | Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>. |

1062 | 1073 | |
|
1063 | 1074 | * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all |
|
1064 | 1075 | keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile(). |
|
1065 | 1076 | |
|
1066 | 1077 | 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1067 | 1078 | |
|
1068 | 1079 | * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning |
|
1069 | 1080 | to usage page (invoked with --help). |
|
1070 | 1081 | |
|
1071 | 1082 | * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added |
|
1072 | 1083 | new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do |
|
1073 | 1084 | tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George |
|
1074 | 1085 | Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at |
|
1075 | 1086 | http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html |
|
1076 | 1087 | for more details. |
|
1077 | 1088 | |
|
1078 | 1089 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore |
|
1079 | 1090 | SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report |
|
1080 | 1091 | by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this |
|
1081 | 1092 | producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests. |

|
1084 | 1095 | |
|
1085 | 1096 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens, |
|
1086 | 1097 | which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process, |
|
1087 | 1098 | added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without |
|
1088 | 1099 | splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae |
|
1089 | 1100 | <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>. |
|
1090 | 1101 | |
|
1091 | 1102 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but |
|
1092 | 1103 | possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield |
|
1093 | 1104 | <schofield-AT-ftw.at>. |

1096 | 1107 | |
|
1097 | 1108 | * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6. |
|
1098 | 1109 | |
|
1099 | 1110 | 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1100 | 1111 | |
|
1101 | 1112 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière |
|
1102 | 1113 | <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin |
|
1103 | 1114 | Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option |
|
1104 | 1115 | which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the |
|
1105 | 1116 | existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested. |
|
1106 | 1117 | |
|
1107 | 1118 | 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13 |
|
1108 | 1119 | |
|
1109 | 1120 | 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1110 | 1121 | |
|
1111 | 1122 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation |
|
1112 | 1123 | from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now, |
|
1113 | 1124 | we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be |
|
1114 | 1125 | used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be |
|
1115 | 1126 | noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies). |
|
1116 | 1127 | |
|
1117 | 1128 | * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API |
|
1118 | 1129 | for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state |
|
1119 | 1130 | variable, which completers never actually need, and was in |
|
1120 | 1131 | conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to |
|
1121 | 1132 | take the text parameter. |
|
1122 | 1133 | |
|
1123 | 1134 | * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics |
|
1124 | 1135 | work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used |
|
1125 | 1136 | to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future |
|
1126 | 1137 | upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their |
|
1127 | 1138 | pysh profile to include the line |
|
1128 | 1139 | |
|
1129 | 1140 | import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec |
|
1130 | 1141 | |
|
1131 | 1142 | because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also |
|
1132 | 1143 | delete pysh.py and the line |
|
1133 | 1144 | |
|
1134 | 1145 | execfile pysh.py |
|
1135 | 1146 | |
|
1136 | 1147 | from their ipythonrc-pysh. |
|
1137 | 1148 | |
|
1138 | 1149 | * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more |
|
1139 | 1150 | robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings |
|
1140 | 1151 | (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to |
|
1141 | 1152 | a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also |
|
1142 | 1153 | minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists. |
|
1143 | 1154 | |
|
1144 | 1155 | * pysh.py: |
|
1145 | 1156 | |
|
1146 | 1157 | 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1147 | 1158 | |
|
1148 | 1159 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on |
|
1149 | 1160 | by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't |
|
1150 | 1161 | want it can still turn it off. |
|
1151 | 1162 | |
|
1152 | 1163 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the |
|
1153 | 1164 | config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it |
|
1154 | 1165 | off by default. |
|
1155 | 1166 | |
|
1156 | 1167 | * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for |
|
1157 | 1168 | consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements, |
|
1158 | 1169 | and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var. |
|
1159 | 1170 | This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system |
|
1160 | 1171 | calls. |

|
1162 | 1173 | 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1163 | 1174 | |
|
1164 | 1175 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of |
|
1165 | 1176 | expensive string additions for building command. Add support for |
|
1166 | 1177 | trailing ';' when autocall is used. |
|

|
1169 | 1180 | |
|
1170 | 1181 | * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31. |
|
1171 | 1182 | Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make |
|
1172 | 1183 | ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces |
|
1173 | 1184 | (including 0) after the ':' character. |
|
1174 | 1185 | |
|
1175 | 1186 | * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in |
|
1176 | 1187 | continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was |
|
1177 | 1188 | already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by |
|
1178 | 1189 | Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>. |

|
1181 | 1192 | |
|
1182 | 1193 | * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are |
|
1183 | 1194 | properly aligned if they have embedded newlines. |
|
1184 | 1195 | |
|
1185 | 1196 | * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose |
|
1186 | 1197 | IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings |
|
1187 | 1198 | as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively. |
|
1188 | 1199 | (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__ |
|
1189 | 1200 | methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable |
|
1190 | 1201 | expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system, |
|
1191 | 1202 | .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a |
|
1192 | 1203 | 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual. |

1196 | 1207 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system |
|
1197 | 1208 | for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it |
|
1198 | 1209 | allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap |
|
1199 | 1210 | custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from |
|
1200 | 1211 | IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of Frédéric |
|
1201 | 1212 | Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>. |
|
1202 | 1213 | (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to |
|
1203 | 1214 | add new completers at runtime. |
|
1204 | 1215 | |
|
1205 | 1216 | 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1206 | 1217 | |
|
1207 | 1218 | * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to |
|
1208 | 1219 | allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard |
|
1209 | 1220 | mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's |
|
1210 | 1221 | ? system. |
|
1211 | 1222 | |
|
1212 | 1223 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e |
|
1213 | 1224 | automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work |
|
1214 | 1225 | reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the |
|
1215 | 1226 | subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed |
|
1216 | 1227 | cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout |
|
1217 | 1228 | without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these |
|
1218 | 1229 | magical list/string objects which make shell use much more |
|
1219 | 1230 | conveninent, so not all is lost. |
|
1220 | 1231 | |
|
1221 | 1232 | XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above! |
|
1222 | 1233 | |
|
1223 | 1234 | (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify |
|
1224 | 1235 | it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are |
|
1225 | 1236 | stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party |
|
1226 | 1237 | tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by Frédéric |
|
1227 | 1238 | Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>. |
|
1228 | 1239 | |
|
1229 | 1240 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to |
|
1230 | 1241 | history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a |
|
1231 | 1242 | long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users |
|
1232 | 1243 | who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just |
|
1233 | 1244 | add: |
|
1234 | 1245 | |
|
1235 | 1246 | readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward |
|
1236 | 1247 | readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward |
|

|
1239 | 1250 | |
|
1240 | 1251 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy |
|
1241 | 1252 | LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions |
|
1242 | 1253 | between list mode and whitespace-separated string. |
|
1243 | 1254 | (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r. |
|
1244 | 1255 | |
|
1245 | 1256 | * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for |
|
1246 | 1257 | automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o |
|
1247 | 1258 | and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which |
|
1248 | 1259 | does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most |
|
1249 | 1260 | uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx |
|
1250 | 1261 | anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that |
|
1251 | 1262 | only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are |
|
1252 | 1263 | overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents |
|
1253 | 1264 | further, simply bind them to any other name. |
|
1254 | 1265 | |

1255 | 1266 | 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1256 | 1267 | |
|
1257 | 1268 | * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for |
|
1258 | 1269 | prompt namespace handling. |
|
1259 | 1270 | |
|
1260 | 1271 | 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1261 | 1272 | |
|
1262 | 1273 | * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and |
|
1263 | 1274 | classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it |
|
1264 | 1275 | trips the emacs python mode). |
|
1265 | 1276 | (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt |
|
1266 | 1277 | strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the |
|
1267 | 1278 | value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The |
|
1268 | 1279 | interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so |
|
1269 | 1280 | ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function |
|
1270 | 1281 | calls will be made at runtime. |
|
1271 | 1282 | |
|
1272 | 1283 | 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1273 | 1284 | |
|
1274 | 1285 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to |
|
1275 | 1286 | avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards |
|
1276 | 1287 | the call to %history. |
|
1277 | 1288 | |

1278 | 1289 | 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12 |

1279 | 1290 | |
|
1280 | 1291 | 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1281 | 1292 | |
|
1282 | 1293 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as |
|
1283 | 1294 | ipmagic() function calls. |
|
1284 | 1295 | |
|
1285 | 1296 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support |
|
1286 | 1297 | statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time. |
|
1287 | 1298 | |
|
1288 | 1299 | 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1289 | 1300 | |
|
1290 | 1301 | * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable |
|
1291 | 1302 | IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor |
|
1292 | 1303 | hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn |
|
1293 | 1304 | into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter |
|
1294 | 1305 | stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the |
|
1295 | 1306 | framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more |
|
1296 | 1307 | time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for |
|
1297 | 1308 | this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything. |
|
1298 | 1309 | |
|
1299 | 1310 | 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1300 | 1311 | |
|
1301 | 1312 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython |
|
1302 | 1313 | directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the |
|
1303 | 1314 | naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like |
|
1304 | 1315 | Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by |
|
1305 | 1316 | Ville Vainio. |
|

|
1307 | 1318 | 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1308 | 1319 | |
|
1309 | 1320 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few |
|
1310 | 1321 | auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can |
|
1311 | 1322 | define the ones they personally like. |
|
1312 | 1323 | |
|
1313 | 1324 | 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1314 | 1325 | |
|
1315 | 1326 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of |
|
1316 | 1327 | expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>. |
|
1317 | 1328 | |
|
1318 | 1329 | 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1319 | 1330 | |
|
1320 | 1331 | * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings |
|
1321 | 1332 | into keys (for prompts, for example). |
|
1322 | 1333 | |
|
1323 | 1334 | * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty |
|
1324 | 1335 | prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior |
|
1325 | 1336 | change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts |
|
1326 | 1337 | anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it |
|
1327 | 1338 | manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should |
|
1328 | 1339 | now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'. |
|
1329 | 1340 | (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc |
|
1330 | 1341 | file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts. |
|
1331 | 1342 | |
|
1332 | 1343 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if |
|
1333 | 1344 | the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed |
|
1334 | 1345 | profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly |
|
1335 | 1346 | modified version of the original Debian patch at |
|
1336 | 1347 | http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500. |
|
1337 | 1348 | |
|
1338 | 1349 | 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1339 | 1350 | |
|
1340 | 1351 | * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would |
|
1341 | 1352 | cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files |
|
1342 | 1353 | in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville. |
|
1343 | 1354 | |
|
1344 | 1355 | * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when |
|
1345 | 1356 | trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke |
|
1346 | 1357 | ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp). |
|
1347 | 1358 | |
|
1348 | 1359 | 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11 |
|
1349 | 1360 | |
|
1350 | 1361 | 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1351 | 1362 | |
|
1352 | 1363 | * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management |
|
1353 | 1364 | subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and |
|
1354 | 1365 | IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job |
|
1355 | 1366 | execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight |
|
1356 | 1367 | frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was |
|
1357 | 1368 | inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand |
|
1358 | 1369 | class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational |
|
1359 | 1370 | Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting |
|
1360 | 1371 | (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's |
|
1361 | 1372 | system is a separate implementation). |
|
1362 | 1373 | |
|
1363 | 1374 | * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option |
|
1364 | 1375 | to control the completion of single/double underscore names |
|
1365 | 1376 | separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the |
|
1366 | 1377 | readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even |
|
1367 | 1378 | single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong |
|
1368 | 1379 | <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>. |
|
1369 | 1380 | (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to |
|
1370 | 1381 | be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for |
|
1371 | 1382 | things which are both callable and implement __getitem__. |
|
1372 | 1383 | (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch |
|
1373 | 1384 | by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>. |
|
1374 | 1385 | |

1375 | 1386 | 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1376 | 1387 | |
|
1377 | 1388 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps |
|
1378 | 1389 | which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which |
|
1379 | 1390 | may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially, |
|
1380 | 1391 | but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to |
|
1381 | 1392 | change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug' |
|
1382 | 1393 | flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control |
|
1383 | 1394 | this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all |
|
1384 | 1395 | sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time). |
|
1385 | 1396 | |
|
1386 | 1397 | 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1387 | 1398 | |
|
1388 | 1399 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the |
|
1389 | 1400 | previous call produced a syntax error. |
|
1390 | 1401 | |
|
1391 | 1402 | * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting |
|
1392 | 1403 | classes without constructor. |
|
1393 | 1404 | |
|
1394 | 1405 | 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1395 | 1406 | |
|
1396 | 1407 | * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of |
|
1397 | 1408 | completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results |
|
1398 | 1409 | to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython |
|
1399 | 1410 | tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all |
|
1400 | 1411 | possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python, |
|
1401 | 1412 | filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter |
|
1402 | 1413 | <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>. |

|
1405 | 1416 | |
|
1406 | 1417 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if |
|
1407 | 1418 | the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped). |
|
1408 | 1419 | |
|
1409 | 1420 | 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1410 | 1421 | |
|
1411 | 1422 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on |
|
1412 | 1423 | Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco |
|
1413 | 1424 | optimizations. |
|
1414 | 1425 | |
|
1415 | 1426 | * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead |
|
1416 | 1427 | of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner. |
|
1417 | 1428 | |
|
1418 | 1429 | 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1419 | 1430 | |
|
1420 | 1431 | * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode |
|
1421 | 1432 | sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that |
|
1422 | 1433 | during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the |
|
1423 | 1434 | name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils |
|
1424 | 1435 | bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to |
|
1425 | 1436 | avoid annoying the lists further. |
|
1426 | 1437 | |
|
1427 | 1438 | 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10 |
|
1428 | 1439 | |
|
1429 | 1440 | 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1430 | 1441 | |
|
1431 | 1442 | * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for |
|
1432 | 1443 | L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector |
|
1433 | 1444 | norm definitions. |
|
1434 | 1445 | (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what |
|
1435 | 1446 | pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names. |
|
1436 | 1447 | (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions. |
|
1437 | 1448 | |
|
1438 | 1449 | * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements. |
|
1439 | 1450 | Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since |
|
1440 | 1451 | python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily |
|
1441 | 1452 | putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in: |
|
1442 | 1453 | http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el |
|
1443 | 1454 | |
|
1444 | 1455 | * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use |
|
1445 | 1456 | sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's |
|
1446 | 1457 | called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken |
|
1447 | 1458 | setups on systems with a differently named python binary). |
|
1448 | 1459 | |
|
1449 | 1460 | * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n' |
|
1450 | 1461 | references to os.linesep, to make the code more |
|
1451 | 1462 | platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring |
|
1452 | 1463 | fixes. |
|
1453 | 1464 | |
|
1454 | 1465 | * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long |
|
1455 | 1466 | lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of |
|
1456 | 1467 | the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded |
|
1457 | 1468 | escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under |
|
1458 | 1469 | Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly |
|
1459 | 1470 | working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened |
|
1460 | 1471 | if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work. |

|
1465 | 1476 | |
|
1466 | 1477 | * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to |
|
1467 | 1478 | the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr |
|
1468 | 1479 | <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for |
|
1469 | 1480 | Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to |
|
1470 | 1481 | this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to |
|
1471 | 1482 | allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control |
|
1472 | 1483 | Panel. |

1474 | 1485 | * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME |
|
1475 | 1486 | environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if |
|
1476 | 1487 | available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set |
|
1477 | 1488 | this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the |
|
1478 | 1489 | previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in. |

|
1481 | 1492 | |
|
1482 | 1493 | * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to |
|
1483 | 1494 | zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine. |
|
1484 | 1495 | |
|
1485 | 1496 | 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8 |

|
1488 | 1499 | |
|
1489 | 1500 | * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the |
|
1490 | 1501 | automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it |
|
1491 | 1502 | turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong. |
|
1492 | 1503 | It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython |
|
1493 | 1504 | reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal |
|
1494 | 1505 | python shell. |
|
1495 | 1506 | |
|
1496 | 1507 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the |
|
1497 | 1508 | line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr() |
|
1498 | 1509 | on assignments. This closes |
|
1499 | 1510 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's |
|
1500 | 1511 | readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still |
|
1501 | 1512 | enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object. |

1503 | 1514 | 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1504 | 1515 | |
|
1505 | 1516 | * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run |
|
1506 | 1517 | docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original. |
|
1507 | 1518 | |

|
1511 | 1522 | |
|
1512 | 1523 | * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with |
|
1513 | 1524 | signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode. |
|
1514 | 1525 | |
|
1515 | 1526 | 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1516 | 1527 | |
|
1517 | 1528 | * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting |
|
1518 | 1529 | instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec |
|
1519 | 1530 | <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>. |

|
1522 | 1533 | |
|
1523 | 1534 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of |
|
1524 | 1535 | names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the |
|
1525 | 1536 | 'parent' object were present on the same line. |

|
1527 | 1538 | 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1528 | 1539 | |
|
1529 | 1540 | * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag |
|
1530 | 1541 | calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support. |
|
1531 | 1542 | Also removed some deprecated code in genutils. |
|
1532 | 1543 | |
|
1533 | 1544 | * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so |
|
1534 | 1545 | that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show() |
|
1535 | 1546 | themselves, still have their plotting windows open. |
|

|
1538 | 1549 | |
|
1539 | 1550 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw |
|
1540 | 1551 | <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings. |
|
1541 | 1552 | |

|
1543 | 1554 | |
|
1544 | 1555 | * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of |
|
1545 | 1556 | parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be |
|
1546 | 1557 | obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms. |

1548 | 1559 | 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1549 | 1560 | |
|
1550 | 1561 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem |
|
1551 | 1562 | reported by Prabhu. |
|
1552 | 1563 | (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to |
|
1553 | 1564 | sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps |
|
1554 | 1565 | maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings. |
|
1555 | 1566 | |
|
1556 | 1567 | * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr |
|
1557 | 1568 | unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()). |
|
1558 | 1569 | |
|
1559 | 1570 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global |
|
1560 | 1571 | composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions. |
|
1561 | 1572 | (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which |
|
1562 | 1573 | Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing |
|
1563 | 1574 | IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi |
|
1564 | 1575 | <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>. |
|
1565 | 1576 | |
|
1566 | 1577 | 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6 |
|
1567 | 1578 | |
|
1568 | 1579 | 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1569 | 1580 | |
|
1570 | 1581 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors |
|
1571 | 1582 | generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without |
|
1572 | 1583 | threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by |
|
1573 | 1584 | Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>. |
|
1574 | 1585 | |
|
1575 | 1586 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the |
|
1576 | 1587 | import_some parameter for multiple imports. |
|
1577 | 1588 | |
|
1578 | 1589 | * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of |
|
1579 | 1590 | ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be |
|
1580 | 1591 | typed at the IPython cmd line. |
|
1581 | 1592 | (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to |
|
1582 | 1593 | ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the |
|
1583 | 1594 | alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex |
|
1584 | 1595 | code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active. |
|
1585 | 1596 | |
|
1586 | 1597 | * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to |
|
1587 | 1598 | simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings() |
|
1588 | 1599 | remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs. |
|
1589 | 1600 | |
|
1590 | 1601 | * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a |
|
1591 | 1602 | bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end |
|
1592 | 1603 | in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this |
|
1593 | 1604 | before. |
|
1594 | 1605 | |
|
1595 | 1606 | 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1596 | 1607 | |
|
1597 | 1608 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from |
|
1598 | 1609 | -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and |
|
1599 | 1610 | %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change |
|
1600 | 1611 | this with the limitations of python's getopt). |
|
1601 | 1612 | |
|
1602 | 1613 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time |
|
1603 | 1614 | the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py, |
|
1604 | 1615 | but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks |
|
1605 | 1616 | timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for |
|
1606 | 1617 | timing very short-running code. |
|
1607 | 1618 | |
|
1608 | 1619 | * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a |
|
1609 | 1620 | list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of |
|
1610 | 1621 | appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy |
|
1611 | 1622 | utility. |
|
1612 | 1623 | |
|
1613 | 1624 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of |
|
1614 | 1625 | dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since |
|
1615 | 1626 | the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose |
|
1616 | 1627 | traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an |
|
1617 | 1628 | 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky, |
|
1618 | 1629 | because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by |
|
1619 | 1630 | python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary |
|
1620 | 1631 | function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object). |
|
1621 | 1632 | |
|
1622 | 1633 | Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime |
|
1623 | 1634 | lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all |
|
1624 | 1635 | this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker. |
|
1625 | 1636 | |
|
1626 | 1637 | Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one |
|
1627 | 1638 | variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be |
|
1628 | 1639 | quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose |
|
1629 | 1640 | is for). |
|
1630 | 1641 | |
|
1631 | 1642 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in |
|
1632 | 1643 | the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances. |
|
1633 | 1644 | Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are |
|
1634 | 1645 | exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash |
|
1635 | 1646 | reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>. |
|
1636 | 1647 | |
|
1637 | 1648 | 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1638 | 1649 | |
|
1639 | 1650 | * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support |
|
1640 | 1651 | to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the |
|
1641 | 1652 | matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the |
|
1642 | 1653 | 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of |
|
1643 | 1654 | all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter. |
|
1644 | 1655 | |
|
1645 | 1656 | * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing |
|
1646 | 1657 | of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already |
|
1647 | 1658 | automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings |
|
1648 | 1659 | (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate |
|
1649 | 1660 | docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some |
|
1650 | 1661 | comments/suggestions by J. Hunter. |
|

|
1652 | 1663 | 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1653 | 1664 | |
|
1654 | 1665 | * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying |
|
1655 | 1666 | warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception. |
|
1656 | 1667 | |
|
1657 | 1668 | 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1658 | 1669 | |
|
1659 | 1670 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would |
|
1660 | 1671 | be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was |
|
1661 | 1672 | being set ('d' instead of 'D'). |
|
1662 | 1673 | (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign. |
|
1663 | 1674 | |

1667 | 1678 | |
|
1668 | 1679 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint |
|
1669 | 1680 | setting with -d option. |
|
1670 | 1681 | |
|
1671 | 1682 | * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using |
|
1672 | 1683 | was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure |
|
1673 | 1684 | accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note: |
|
1674 | 1685 | glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings! |
|
1675 | 1686 | |
|
1676 | 1687 | 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1677 | 1688 | |
|
1678 | 1689 | * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using |
|
1679 | 1690 | the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency. |
|
1680 | 1691 | |
|
1681 | 1692 | * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run |
|
1682 | 1693 | scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that |
|
1683 | 1694 | this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash |
|
1684 | 1695 | (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to |
|
1685 | 1696 | handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks |
|
1686 | 1697 | to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>. |
|
1687 | 1698 | (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one |
|
1688 | 1699 | can filter their output to only include variables of certain |
|
1689 | 1700 | types. Another suggestion by Matthew. |
|
1690 | 1701 | (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays. |
|
1691 | 1702 | (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars). |
|
1692 | 1703 | |
|
1693 | 1704 | 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1694 | 1705 | |
|
1695 | 1706 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input |
|
1696 | 1707 | cache when empty lines were present. |
|
1697 | 1708 | |
|
1698 | 1709 | 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1699 | 1710 | |
|
1700 | 1711 | * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading |
|
1701 | 1712 | options for WX and GTK. |
|
1702 | 1713 | |
|
1703 | 1714 | 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1704 | 1715 | |
|
1705 | 1716 | * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate |
|
1706 | 1717 | the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try |
|
1707 | 1718 | and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very |
|
1708 | 1719 | platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be |
|
1709 | 1720 | built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in |
|
1710 | 1721 | Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk |
|
1711 | 1722 | limitations, this is a great improvement. |
|
1712 | 1723 | |
|
1713 | 1724 | * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time |
|
1714 | 1725 | info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu. |
|
1715 | 1726 | |
|
1716 | 1727 | 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1717 | 1728 | |
|
1718 | 1729 | * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20 |
|
1719 | 1730 | EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating |
|
1720 | 1731 | file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user, |
|
1721 | 1732 | many thanks. |
|
1722 | 1733 | |
|
1723 | 1734 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger |
|
1724 | 1735 | autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of |
|
1725 | 1736 | problems. Closes roundup issue 20. |

1728 | 1739 | |
|
1729 | 1740 | * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency, |
|
1730 | 1741 | reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog |
|
1731 | 1742 | entry has the proper debian format (Jack?). |

1736 | 1747 | |
|
1737 | 1748 | * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows |

1742 | 1753 | |
|
1743 | 1754 | * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions, |
|
1744 | 1755 | sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users. |
|
1745 | 1756 | |

|
1747 | 1758 | |
|
1748 | 1759 | * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from |
|
1749 | 1760 | trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag. |
|
1750 | 1761 | This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but |
|
1751 | 1762 | I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab |
|
1752 | 1763 | %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is |
|
1753 | 1764 | really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton |
|
1754 | 1765 | <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>. |

|
1757 | 1768 | |
|
1758 | 1769 | * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the |
|
1759 | 1770 | true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it |
|
1760 | 1771 | (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython). |
|
1761 | 1772 | Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>. |
|
1762 | 1773 | |
|
1763 | 1774 | * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for |
|
1764 | 1775 | Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line. |
|
1765 | 1776 | |
|
1766 | 1777 | 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1767 | 1778 | |
|
1768 | 1779 | * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files. |
|
1769 | 1780 | (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release. |
|
1770 | 1781 | |
|
1771 | 1782 | * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for |
|
1772 | 1783 | use throughout ipython. |
|
1773 | 1784 | |
|
1774 | 1785 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new |
|
1775 | 1786 | OInspect.getdoc() function. |
|
1776 | 1787 | |
|
1777 | 1788 | * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution |
|
1778 | 1789 | of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely |
|
1779 | 1790 | ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of |
|
1780 | 1791 | handling cross-thread exceptions). |
|
1781 | 1792 | |
|
1782 | 1793 | 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1783 | 1794 | |
|
1784 | 1795 | * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap |
|
1785 | 1796 | SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug |
|
1786 | 1797 | report by Francesc Alted. |
|
1787 | 1798 | |
|
1788 | 1799 | 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1789 | 1800 | |
|
1790 | 1801 | * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @ |
|
1791 | 1802 | to % for pysh syntax extensions. |
|
1792 | 1803 | |
|
1793 | 1804 | 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1794 | 1805 | |
|
1795 | 1806 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric |
|
1796 | 1807 | arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr). |
|
1797 | 1808 | This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which |
|
1798 | 1809 | occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup |
|
1799 | 1810 | with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg |
|
1800 | 1811 | <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>. |
|
1801 | 1812 | (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being |
|
1802 | 1813 | correctly set. |
|
1803 | 1814 | |
|
1804 | 1815 | 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1805 | 1816 | |
|
1806 | 1817 | * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of |
|
1807 | 1818 | ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute |
|
1808 | 1819 | import requirement of PEP-328. |
|
1809 | 1820 | |
|
1810 | 1821 | * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all |
|
1811 | 1822 | files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release |
|
1812 | 1823 | module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with |
|
1813 | 1824 | particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes). |
|
1814 | 1825 | |
|
1815 | 1826 | * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1 |
|
1816 | 1827 | |
|
1817 | 1828 | 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1818 | 1829 | |
|
1819 | 1830 | * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics |
|
1820 | 1831 | via a normal python function call. |
|
1821 | 1832 | |
|
1822 | 1833 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape |
|
1823 | 1834 | from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python |
|
1824 | 1835 | 2.4. |
|
1825 | 1836 | |
|
1826 | 1837 | 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1827 | 1838 | |
|
1828 | 1839 | * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to |
|
1829 | 1840 | matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch |
|
1830 | 1841 | interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash |
|
1831 | 1842 | the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error |
|
1832 | 1843 | is given to the user). |
|
1833 | 1844 | |
|
1834 | 1845 | 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1835 | 1846 | |
|
1836 | 1847 | * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): |
|
1837 | 1848 | matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib |
|
1838 | 1849 | scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires |
|
1839 | 1850 | matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well. |
|
1840 | 1851 | |
|
1841 | 1852 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to |
|
1842 | 1853 | python 2.2. |
|
1843 | 1854 | |
|
1844 | 1855 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional |
|
1845 | 1856 | banner arg for embedded customization. |
|
1846 | 1857 | |
|
1847 | 1858 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all |
|
1848 | 1859 | explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things |
|
1849 | 1860 | are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code |
|
1850 | 1861 | is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this |
|
1851 | 1862 | is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the |
|
1852 | 1863 | magic stuff gets a real overhaul. |
|
1853 | 1864 | |
|
1854 | 1865 | * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in |
|
1855 | 1866 | minor changes to debian dir. |
|
1856 | 1867 | |
|
1857 | 1868 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a |
|
1858 | 1869 | pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when |
|
1859 | 1870 | a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding |
|
1860 | 1871 | purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner). |
|
1861 | 1872 | |
|
1862 | 1873 | 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1863 | 1874 | |
|
1864 | 1875 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from |
|
1865 | 1876 | readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do |
|
1866 | 1877 | proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common |
|
1867 | 1878 | case than module names in list comprehensions, for example. |
|
1868 | 1879 | Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi. |
|
1869 | 1880 | |
|
1870 | 1881 | 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1871 | 1882 | |
|
1872 | 1883 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid |
|
1873 | 1884 | blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John. |
|
1874 | 1885 | |
|
1875 | 1886 | 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1876 | 1887 | |
|
1877 | 1888 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug |
|
1878 | 1889 | for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter. |
|
1879 | 1890 | |
|
1880 | 1891 | 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3 |
|
1881 | 1892 | |
|
1882 | 1893 | 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1883 | 1894 | |
|
1884 | 1895 | * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be |
|
1885 | 1896 | updated. |
|
1886 | 1897 | |
|
1887 | 1898 | 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1888 | 1899 | |
|
1889 | 1900 | * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread |
|
1890 | 1901 | for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code |
|
1891 | 1902 | (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends). |
|
1892 | 1903 | This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with |
|
1893 | 1904 | comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy. |
|
1894 | 1905 | |
|
1895 | 1906 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental |
|
1896 | 1907 | autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line |
|
1897 | 1908 | split regexp. Closes |
|
1898 | 1909 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas |
|
1899 | 1910 | Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>. |
|
1900 | 1911 | (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner |
|
1901 | 1912 | extensions. |
|
1902 | 1913 | |
|
1903 | 1914 | * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so |
|
1904 | 1915 | that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading |
|
1905 | 1916 | models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we |
|
1906 | 1917 | should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both |
|
1907 | 1918 | for generic code and for matplotlib. |
|
1908 | 1919 | |
|
1909 | 1920 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to |
|
1910 | 1921 | -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab |
|
1911 | 1922 | profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly |
|
1912 | 1923 | handled here. This also reduces startup time. |
|
1913 | 1924 | |
|
1914 | 1925 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of |
|
1915 | 1926 | shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX. |
|
1916 | 1927 | |
|
1917 | 1928 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to |
|
1918 | 1929 | fine-tune banner. |
|
1919 | 1930 | |
|
1920 | 1931 | * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions, |
|
1921 | 1932 | delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler. |
|
1922 | 1933 | |
|
1923 | 1934 | 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1924 | 1935 | |
|
1925 | 1936 | * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which |
|
1926 | 1937 | were missing. |
|
1927 | 1938 | |
|
1928 | 1939 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for |
|
1929 | 1940 | wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only |
|
1930 | 1941 | valid at the command line. |
|
1931 | 1942 | |
|
1932 | 1943 | * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function |
|
1933 | 1944 | in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum. |
|
1934 | 1945 | |
|
1935 | 1946 | 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1936 | 1947 | |
|
1937 | 1948 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by |
|
1938 | 1949 | John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the |
|
1939 | 1950 | next versions of both systems should work very well together. |
|
1940 | 1951 | |
|
1941 | 1952 | 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1942 | 1953 | |
|
1943 | 1954 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I |
|
1944 | 1955 | tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting |
|
1945 | 1956 | strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the |
|
1946 | 1957 | docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will |
|
1947 | 1958 | continue to use the standard profiler. |
|
1948 | 1959 | |
|
1949 | 1960 | 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1950 | 1961 | |
|
1951 | 1962 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX |
|
1952 | 1963 | threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but |
|
1953 | 1964 | close. |
|
1954 | 1965 | |
|
1955 | 1966 | 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1956 | 1967 | |
|
1957 | 1968 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also |
|
1958 | 1969 | in Magic and ultraTB. |
|
1959 | 1970 | |
|
1960 | 1971 | * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage. |
|
1961 | 1972 | |
|
1962 | 1973 | * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread, |
|
1963 | 1974 | since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a |
|
1964 | 1975 | -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This |
|
1965 | 1976 | change affects usage and ipmaker as well. |
|
1966 | 1977 | |
|
1967 | 1978 | * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to |
|
1968 | 1979 | handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter |
|
1969 | 1980 | <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>. |
|
1970 | 1981 | (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's |
|
1971 | 1982 | broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the |
|
1972 | 1983 | infrastructure in place. |
|
1973 | 1984 | |
|
1974 | 1985 | 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1975 | 1986 | |
|
1976 | 1987 | * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support. |
|
1977 | 1988 | |
|
1978 | 1989 | * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of |
|
1979 | 1990 | the pylab profile. |
|
1980 | 1991 | |
|
1981 | 1992 | * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options. |
|
1982 | 1993 | |
|
1983 | 1994 | 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
1984 | 1995 | |
|
1985 | 1996 | * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread |
|
1986 | 1997 | and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack, |
|
1987 | 1998 | because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython |
|
1988 | 1999 | itself. |
|
1989 | 2000 | |
|
1990 | 2001 | * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of |
|
1991 | 2002 | classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking, |
|
1992 | 2003 | and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very |
|
1993 | 2004 | experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a |
|
1994 | 2005 | few rough edges... This code owes a lot to |
|
1995 | 2006 | http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by |
|
1996 | 2007 | Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and |
|
1997 | 2008 | to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work. |
|
1998 | 2009 | |
|
1999 | 2010 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread |
|
2000 | 2011 | options for gtk thread and matplotlib support. |
|
2001 | 2012 | |
|
2002 | 2013 | 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2003 | 2014 | |
|
2004 | 2015 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger |
|
2005 | 2016 | autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug |
|
2006 | 2017 | reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>. |
|
2007 | 2018 | |
|
2008 | 2019 | 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2009 | 2020 | |
|
2010 | 2021 | * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for |
|
2011 | 2022 | rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds). |
|
2012 | 2023 | |
|
2013 | 2024 | 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2014 | 2025 | |
|
2015 | 2026 | * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin). |
|
2016 | 2027 | |
|
2017 | 2028 | * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion. |
|
2018 | 2029 | |
|
2019 | 2030 | 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2020 | 2031 | |
|
2021 | 2032 | * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set |
|
2022 | 2033 | 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long |
|
2023 | 2034 | continuation lines to mis-wrap. |
|
2024 | 2035 | |
|
2025 | 2036 | 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2026 | 2037 | |
|
2027 | 2038 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used |
|
2028 | 2039 | for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary |
|
2029 | 2040 | right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane |
|
2030 | 2041 | non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that |
|
2031 | 2042 | works. |
|
2032 | 2043 | |
|
2033 | 2044 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default |
|
2034 | 2045 | args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous |
|
2035 | 2046 | practice. |
|
2036 | 2047 | |
|
2037 | 2048 | 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2038 | 2049 | |
|
2039 | 2050 | * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to |
|
2040 | 2051 | fix completion of files with dots in their names under most |
|
2041 | 2052 | profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different). |
|

|
2044 | 2055 | |
|
2045 | 2056 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of |
|
2046 | 2057 | keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python |
|
2047 | 2058 | 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>. |
|
2048 | 2059 | This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier. |

|
2051 | 2062 | |
|
2052 | 2063 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another |
|
2053 | 2064 | linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from |
|
2054 | 2065 | crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes |

2059 | 2070 | 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2060 | 2071 | |
|
2061 | 2072 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would |
|
2062 | 2073 | fail for any number. |
|
2063 | 2074 | (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for |
|
2064 | 2075 | empty bookmarks. |
|
2065 | 2076 | |
|
2066 | 2077 | 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1 |

|
2069 | 2080 | |
|
2070 | 2081 | * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows. |
|
2071 | 2082 | |
|
2072 | 2083 | * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for |
|
2073 | 2084 | escaping '()[]{}' in filenames. |
|
2074 | 2085 | |
|
2075 | 2086 | * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for |
|
2076 | 2087 | Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split. |
|
2077 | 2088 | |
|
2078 | 2089 | 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2079 | 2090 | |
|
2080 | 2091 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support |
|
2081 | 2092 | for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain: |
|
2082 | 2093 | $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a |
|
2083 | 2094 | report by Mike Heeter. This closes |
|

|
2087 | 2098 | |
|
2088 | 2099 | * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under |
|
2089 | 2100 | Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville. |
|
2090 | 2101 | |
|
2091 | 2102 | 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2092 | 2103 | |
|
2093 | 2104 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where |
|
2094 | 2105 | autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is |
|
2095 | 2106 | callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a |
|
2096 | 2107 | regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck. |
|
2097 | 2108 | |
|
2098 | 2109 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with |
|
2099 | 2110 | '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex |
|
2100 | 2111 | Schmolck. |
|
2101 | 2112 | |
|
2102 | 2113 | 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2103 | 2114 | |
|
2104 | 2115 | * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2. |
|
2105 | 2116 | |
|
2106 | 2117 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for |
|
2107 | 2118 | plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays. |
|
2108 | 2119 | |
|
2109 | 2120 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and |
|
2110 | 2121 | optimizations. |
|
2111 | 2122 | |
|
2112 | 2123 | * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is |
|
2113 | 2124 | the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code: |
|
2114 | 2125 | |
|
2115 | 2126 | 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de |
|
2116 | 2127 | --Started changelog. |
|
2117 | 2128 | --make clear do what it say it does |
|
2118 | 2129 | --added pretty output of lines from inputcache |
|
2119 | 2130 | --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches |
|
2120 | 2131 | --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history |
|
2121 | 2132 | line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present |
|
2122 | 2133 | with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this |
|
2123 | 2134 | can be done for other cases. |
|
2124 | 2135 | --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a |
|
2125 | 2136 | parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for |
|
2126 | 2137 | each function. @cd is a good example of this. |
|
2127 | 2138 | |
|
2128 | 2139 | 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de |
|
2129 | 2140 | --added logfile rotation |
|
2130 | 2141 | --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace |
|
2131 | 2142 | |
|
2132 | 2143 | 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de |
|
2133 | 2144 | --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system. |
|
2134 | 2145 | -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new |
|
2135 | 2146 | stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be |
|
2136 | 2147 | better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info |
|
2137 | 2148 | system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info. |
|
2138 | 2149 | --added global logfile option |
|
2139 | 2150 | --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to |
|
2140 | 2151 | be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'. |
|
2141 | 2152 | |
|
2142 | 2153 | 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de |
|
2143 | 2154 | --added a README |
|
2144 | 2155 | --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc |
|
2145 | 2156 | file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a |
|
2146 | 2157 | bug or feature. |
|
2147 | 2158 | --changed rc file for new behavior |

2149 | 2160 | 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2150 | 2161 | |
|
2151 | 2162 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input |
|
2152 | 2163 | cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line |
|
2153 | 2164 | input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup. |
|
2154 | 2165 | |
|
2155 | 2166 | (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the |
|
2156 | 2167 | information which was there from Janko's original code: |
|
2157 | 2168 | |
|
2158 | 2169 | Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter |
|
2159 | 2170 | |
|
2160 | 2171 | - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed |
|
2161 | 2172 | (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session |
|
2162 | 2173 | logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged |
|
2163 | 2174 | in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up |
|
2164 | 2175 | 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught |
|
2165 | 2176 | and prepended with a #. |
|
2166 | 2177 | |
|
2167 | 2178 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check |
|
2168 | 2179 | in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash. |
|
2169 | 2180 | |
|
2170 | 2181 | 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2171 | 2182 | |
|
2172 | 2183 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation |
|
2173 | 2184 | of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'. |
|
2174 | 2185 | |
|
2175 | 2186 | 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2176 | 2187 | |
|
2177 | 2188 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix |
|
2178 | 2189 | escaping of quotes when calling the shell. |
|
2179 | 2190 | |
|
2180 | 2191 | 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2181 | 2192 | |
|
2182 | 2193 | * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with |
|
2183 | 2194 | gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes |
|
2184 | 2195 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6. |
|
2185 | 2196 | |
|
2186 | 2197 | 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2187 | 2198 | |
|
2188 | 2199 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling |
|
2189 | 2200 | into @cd. Patch by Ville. |
|
2190 | 2201 | |
|
2191 | 2202 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization): |
|
2192 | 2203 | new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville. |
|
2193 | 2204 | Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class |
|
2194 | 2205 | gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is |
|
2195 | 2206 | the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for |
|
2196 | 2207 | keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can |
|
2197 | 2208 | be implemented later). |
|
2198 | 2209 | |
|
2199 | 2210 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system, |
|
2200 | 2211 | persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it |
|
2201 | 2212 | soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also |
|
2202 | 2213 | added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks. |
|
2203 | 2214 | |
|
2204 | 2215 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new |
|
2205 | 2216 | center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved |
|
2206 | 2217 | here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville. |
|
2207 | 2218 | |
|
2208 | 2219 | * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted |
|
2209 | 2220 | characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2. |
|
2210 | 2221 | |
|
2211 | 2222 | * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with |
|
2212 | 2223 | whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's |
|
2213 | 2224 | readline make it impossible to go further. |
|
2214 | 2225 | |
|
2215 | 2226 | 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2216 | 2227 | |
|
2217 | 2228 | * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in |
|
2218 | 2229 | filename completions. Bug reported by Ville. |
|
2219 | 2230 | |
|
2220 | 2231 | 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2221 | 2232 | |
|
2222 | 2233 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now |
|
2223 | 2234 | the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just |
|
2224 | 2235 | 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at |
|
2225 | 2236 | getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions. |
|
2226 | 2237 | |
|
2227 | 2238 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal |
|
2228 | 2239 | getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose |
|
2229 | 2240 | flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of # |
|
2230 | 2241 | characters here to avoid confusing Itpl. |
|
2231 | 2242 | |
|
2232 | 2243 | * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in |
|
2233 | 2244 | parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying |
|
2234 | 2245 | part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had |
|
2235 | 2246 | to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex |
|
2236 | 2247 | module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville |
|
2237 | 2248 | Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no |
|
2238 | 2249 | problem. |
|
2239 | 2250 | |
|
2240 | 2251 | (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual |
|
2241 | 2252 | system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes. |
|
2242 | 2253 | |
|
2243 | 2254 | * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which |
|
2244 | 2255 | doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by |
|
2245 | 2256 | Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>. |
|
2246 | 2257 | |
|
2247 | 2258 | 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2248 | 2259 | |
|
2249 | 2260 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty |
|
2250 | 2261 | continue prompts. |
|
2251 | 2262 | |
|
2252 | 2263 | * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh() |
|
2253 | 2264 | function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to |
|
2254 | 2265 | speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because |
|
2255 | 2266 | it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so |
|
2256 | 2267 | byte-compilation saves time. |
|
2257 | 2268 | |
|
2258 | 2269 | 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2259 | 2270 | |
|
2260 | 2271 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd |
|
2261 | 2272 | -NUM', which was recently broken. |
|
2262 | 2273 | |
|
2263 | 2274 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow ! |
|
2264 | 2275 | in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there). |
|
2265 | 2276 | |
|
2266 | 2277 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default. |
|
2267 | 2278 | It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less |
|
2268 | 2279 | common cases where it's a problem. |
|
2269 | 2280 | |
|
2270 | 2281 | 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2271 | 2282 | |
|
2272 | 2283 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change - |
|
2273 | 2284 | special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line |
|
2274 | 2285 | input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for |
|
2275 | 2286 | efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system |
|
2276 | 2287 | calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it |
|
2277 | 2288 | really even makes sense to have this for magics. |
|
2278 | 2289 | |
|
2279 | 2290 | 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2280 | 2291 | |
|
2281 | 2292 | * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added |
|
2282 | 2293 | $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd. |
|
2283 | 2294 | |
|
2284 | 2295 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle |
|
2285 | 2296 | extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The |
|
2286 | 2297 | extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc |
|
2287 | 2298 | structure as win_exec_ext. |
|
2288 | 2299 | |
|
2289 | 2300 | * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but |
|
2290 | 2301 | without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work. |
|
2291 | 2302 | |
|
2292 | 2303 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to |
|
2293 | 2304 | delete aliases. |
|
2294 | 2305 | |
|
2295 | 2306 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make |
|
2296 | 2307 | sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords. |
|
2297 | 2308 | |
|
2298 | 2309 | 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2299 | 2310 | |
|
2300 | 2311 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when |
|
2301 | 2312 | non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten. |
|
2302 | 2313 | |
|
2303 | 2314 | 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2304 | 2315 | |
|
2305 | 2316 | * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the |
|
2306 | 2317 | order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime. |
|
2307 | 2318 | |
|
2308 | 2319 | * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): |
|
2309 | 2320 | Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'. |
|
2310 | 2321 | |
|
2311 | 2322 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to |
|
2312 | 2323 | expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The |
|
2313 | 2324 | same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all |
|
2314 | 2325 | system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the |
|
2315 | 2326 | expansion of python variables and expressions according to the |
|
2316 | 2327 | syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html. |
|
2317 | 2328 | |
|
2318 | 2329 | Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one |
|
2319 | 2330 | seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 - |

2320 | 2331 | http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html. |
|
2321 | 2332 | |
|
2322 | 2333 | I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the |
|
2323 | 2334 | start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there |
|
2324 | 2335 | (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers. |
|
2325 | 2336 | |
|
2326 | 2337 | In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped |
|
2327 | 2338 | via an extra $. For example: |
|
2328 | 2339 | |
|
2329 | 2340 | In [7]: PATH='a python variable' |
|
2330 | 2341 | |
|
2331 | 2342 | In [8]: !echo $PATH |
|
2332 | 2343 | a python variable |
|
2333 | 2344 | |
|
2334 | 2345 | In [9]: !echo $$PATH |
|
2335 | 2346 | /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:... |
|
2336 | 2347 | |
|
2337 | 2348 | (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate |
|
2338 | 2349 | things prematurely. |
|
2339 | 2350 | |
|
2340 | 2351 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the |
|
2341 | 2352 | ability for aliases to expand python variables via $. |
|
2342 | 2353 | |
|
2343 | 2354 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias |
|
2344 | 2355 | system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work |
|
2345 | 2356 | like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They |
|
2346 | 2357 | build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH |
|
2347 | 2358 | (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds |
|
2348 | 2359 | executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can |
|
2349 | 2360 | now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all |
|
2350 | 2361 | programs in the user's path is obtained. |
|
2351 | 2362 | |
|
2352 | 2363 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias |
|
2353 | 2364 | functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic |
|
2354 | 2365 | code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one |
|
2355 | 2366 | based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to |
|
2356 | 2367 | now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable |
|
2357 | 2368 | with the old system). |
|
2358 | 2369 | |
|
2359 | 2370 | 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2360 | 2371 | |
|
2361 | 2372 | * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to |
|
2362 | 2373 | also complete (last in priority) on user aliases. |
|
2363 | 2374 | |
|
2364 | 2375 | * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in |
|
2365 | 2376 | call to eval. |
|
2366 | 2377 | (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl, |
|
2367 | 2378 | but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur |
|
2368 | 2379 | in. |
|
2369 | 2380 | |
|
2370 | 2381 | 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2371 | 2382 | |
|
2372 | 2383 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a |
|
2373 | 2384 | better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie |
|
2374 | 2385 | confusion). |
|
2375 | 2386 | |
|
2376 | 2387 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color |
|
2377 | 2388 | check for Windows users. |
|
2378 | 2389 | |
|
2379 | 2390 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed |
|
2380 | 2391 | disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a |
|
2381 | 2392 | warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to |
|
2382 | 2393 | download it. |
|
2383 | 2394 | |
|
2384 | 2395 | 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2385 | 2396 | |
|
2386 | 2397 | * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors |
|
2387 | 2398 | to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's |
|
2388 | 2399 | possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha, |
|
2389 | 2400 | since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead |
|
2390 | 2401 | of IDLE's out). |
|
2391 | 2402 | |
|
2392 | 2403 | * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for |
|
2393 | 2404 | users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove |
|
2394 | 2405 | eventually. |
|
2395 | 2406 | (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe. |
|
2396 | 2407 | |
|
2397 | 2408 | 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2398 | 2409 | |
|
2399 | 2410 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the |
|
2400 | 2411 | list of auto-defined aliases. |
|
2401 | 2412 | |
|
2402 | 2413 | 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2403 | 2414 | |
|
2404 | 2415 | * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an |
|
2405 | 2416 | install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other |
|
2406 | 2417 | things under Windows). |
|
2407 | 2418 | |
|
2408 | 2419 | 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2409 | 2420 | |
|
2410 | 2421 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old |
|
2411 | 2422 | backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug |
|
2412 | 2423 | reported by Thorsten. |
|
2413 | 2424 | |
|
2414 | 2425 | 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2415 | 2426 | |
|
2416 | 2427 | * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced |
|
2417 | 2428 | with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done |
|
2418 | 2429 | for all examples and the manual as well. |
|
2419 | 2430 | |
|
2420 | 2431 | 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2421 | 2432 | |
|
2422 | 2433 | * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt |
|
2423 | 2434 | alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now |
|
2424 | 2435 | inherit from BasePrompt. |
|
2425 | 2436 | |
|
2426 | 2437 | * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms |
|
2427 | 2438 | with python version (since paths are fixed). |
|
2428 | 2439 | |
|
2429 | 2440 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n, |
|
2430 | 2441 | which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default |
|
2431 | 2442 | prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct |
|
2432 | 2443 | defaults. |
|
2433 | 2444 | WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply |
|
2434 | 2445 | this fix manually! |
|
2435 | 2446 | |
|
2436 | 2447 | * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the |
|
2437 | 2448 | integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>, |
|
2438 | 2449 | which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent |
|
2439 | 2450 | distutils). |
|
2440 | 2451 | |
|
2441 | 2452 | * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect |
|
2442 | 2453 | usage of new '\D' escape. |
|
2443 | 2454 | |
|
2444 | 2455 | * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which |
|
2445 | 2456 | lacks os.getuid()) |
|
2446 | 2457 | (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring |
|
2447 | 2458 | on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It |
|
2448 | 2459 | uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color |
|
2449 | 2460 | handling mechanism. |
|
2450 | 2461 | (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation |
|
2451 | 2462 | prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots. |
|
2452 | 2463 | *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will |
|
2453 | 2464 | need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in |
|
2454 | 2465 | their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's |
|
2455 | 2466 | otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The |
|
2456 | 2467 | ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated. |
|
2457 | 2468 | |
|
2458 | 2469 | 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2459 | 2470 | |
|
2460 | 2471 | * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the |
|
2461 | 2472 | resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to |
|
2462 | 2473 | dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip. |
|
2463 | 2474 | |
|
2464 | 2475 | * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a |
|
2465 | 2476 | _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy |
|
2466 | 2477 | system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly |
|
2467 | 2478 | meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts. |
|
2468 | 2479 | I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management, |
|
2469 | 2480 | but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell' |
|
2470 | 2481 | profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by |
|
2471 | 2482 | W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl> |
|
2472 | 2483 | |
|
2473 | 2484 | * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly |
|
2474 | 2485 | auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt |
|
2475 | 2486 | (taking into account the invisible color escapes). |
|
2476 | 2487 | (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now |
|
2477 | 2488 | all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects, |
|
2478 | 2489 | managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a |
|
2479 | 2490 | bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache), |
|
2480 | 2491 | but it's overall far cleaner than before. |
|
2481 | 2492 | |
|
2482 | 2493 | * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose, |
|
2483 | 2494 | debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout* |
|
2484 | 2495 | functions uniform. |
|
2485 | 2496 | (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec. |
|
2486 | 2497 | |
|
2487 | 2498 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to |
|
2488 | 2499 | allow registering default options for any magic command. This |
|
2489 | 2500 | makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally |
|
2490 | 2501 | for a certain use. The values set through this function are |
|
2491 | 2502 | picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should |
|
2492 | 2503 | use to parse their options. |
|
2493 | 2504 | |
|
2494 | 2505 | * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to |
|
2495 | 2506 | use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of |
|
2496 | 2507 | IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term. |
|
2497 | 2508 | |
|
2498 | 2509 | * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in |
|
2499 | 2510 | the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary |
|
2500 | 2511 | one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up |
|
2501 | 2512 | even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available |
|
2502 | 2513 | via the prompt_specials. |
|
2503 | 2514 | |
|
2504 | 2515 | 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2505 | 2516 | |
|
2506 | 2517 | * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have |
|
2507 | 2518 | bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get |
|
2508 | 2519 | automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working |
|
2509 | 2520 | directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to |
|
2510 | 2521 | add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan |
|
2511 | 2522 | <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl> |
|
2512 | 2523 | (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so |
|
2513 | 2524 | users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts. |
|
2514 | 2525 | |
|
2515 | 2526 | 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2516 | 2527 | |
|
2517 | 2528 | * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific |
|
2518 | 2529 | code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it |
|
2519 | 2530 | automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this. |
|
2520 | 2531 | |
|
2521 | 2532 | 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2522 | 2533 | |
|
2523 | 2534 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging |
|
2524 | 2535 | with no filename (previous fix was incomplete). |
|
2525 | 2536 | |
|
2526 | 2537 | 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2527 | 2538 | |
|
2528 | 2539 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked |
|
2529 | 2540 | parens would get passed to the shell. |
|
2530 | 2541 | |
|
2531 | 2542 | 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2532 | 2543 | |
|
2533 | 2544 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile |
|
2534 | 2545 | sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need). |
|
2535 | 2546 | |
|
2536 | 2547 | * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache |
|
2537 | 2548 | so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on |
|
2538 | 2549 | disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for |
|
2539 | 2550 | ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du |
|
2540 | 2551 | <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>. |
|
2541 | 2552 | |
|
2542 | 2553 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands |
|
2543 | 2554 | with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes |
|
2544 | 2555 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been |
|
2545 | 2556 | introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06). |
|
2546 | 2557 | |
|
2547 | 2558 | 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0 |
|
2548 | 2559 | |
|
2549 | 2560 | 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2550 | 2561 | |
|
2551 | 2562 | * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support |
|
2552 | 2563 | is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack |
|
2553 | 2564 | Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>. |
|
2554 | 2565 | |
|
2555 | 2566 | * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system |
|
2556 | 2567 | shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document, |
|
2557 | 2568 | so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the |
|
2558 | 2569 | official documentation. |
|
2559 | 2570 | |
|
2560 | 2571 | 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2561 | 2572 | |
|
2562 | 2573 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced |
|
2563 | 2574 | bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an |
|
2564 | 2575 | explicit filename. |
|
2565 | 2576 | |
|
2566 | 2577 | 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2567 | 2578 | |
|
2568 | 2579 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when |
|
2569 | 2580 | there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common |
|
2570 | 2581 | case. |
|
2571 | 2582 | |
|
2572 | 2583 | * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows |
|
2573 | 2584 | support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also |
|
2574 | 2585 | updated the new_design doc a bit. |
|
2575 | 2586 | |
|
2576 | 2587 | 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1 |
|
2577 | 2588 | |
|
2578 | 2589 | 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2579 | 2590 | |
|
2580 | 2591 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string += |
|
2581 | 2592 | operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method. |
|
2582 | 2593 | (FormattedTB.text): Fix |
|
2583 | 2594 | http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source |
|
2584 | 2595 | extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib |
|
2585 | 2596 | <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem. |
|
2586 | 2597 | Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require |
|
2587 | 2598 | any changes to python proper. |
|
2588 | 2599 | |
|
2589 | 2600 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the |
|
2590 | 2601 | argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the |
|
2591 | 2602 | underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get |
|
2592 | 2603 | shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex |
|
2593 | 2604 | Schmolck. |
|
2594 | 2605 | |
|
2595 | 2606 | 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2596 | 2607 | |
|
2597 | 2608 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special |
|
2598 | 2609 | trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible |
|
2599 | 2610 | to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack. |
|
2600 | 2611 | This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>. |
|
2601 | 2612 | |
|
2602 | 2613 | 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2603 | 2614 | |
|
2604 | 2615 | * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term |
|
2605 | 2616 | class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions |
|
2606 | 2617 | (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute |
|
2607 | 2618 | name). |
|
2608 | 2619 | |
|
2609 | 2620 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment |
|
2610 | 2621 | the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith |
|
2611 | 2622 | <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from |
|
2612 | 2623 | Francois Pinard. |

|
2615 | 2626 | |
|
2616 | 2627 | * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at |
|
2617 | 2628 | least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file |
|
2618 | 2629 | objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However, |
|
2619 | 2630 | the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will |
|
2620 | 2631 | not work. |
|
2621 | 2632 | |
|
2622 | 2633 | 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2623 | 2634 | |
|
2624 | 2635 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to |
|
2625 | 2636 | use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly |
|
2626 | 2637 | distinguishes stdout/err. |
|
2627 | 2638 | |
|
2628 | 2639 | * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to |
|
2629 | 2640 | capture separately the standard output and error of a command. |
|
2630 | 2641 | After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is |
|
2631 | 2642 | basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from |
|
2632 | 2643 | the standard library. |
|
2633 | 2644 | |
|
2634 | 2645 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added |
|
2635 | 2646 | '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx. |
|
2636 | 2647 | |
|
2637 | 2648 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell |
|
2638 | 2649 | command and return its output as a list split on '\n'. |
|
2639 | 2650 | |
|
2640 | 2651 | 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2641 | 2652 | |
|
2642 | 2653 | * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__ |
|
2643 | 2654 | method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack |
|
2644 | 2655 | it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined |
|
2645 | 2656 | functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_ |
|
2646 | 2657 | understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack. |
|
2647 | 2658 | But it solves Arnd's problem for now... |
|
2648 | 2659 | |
|
2649 | 2660 | 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2650 | 2661 | |
|
2651 | 2662 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate' |
|
2652 | 2663 | mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of |
|
2653 | 2664 | possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland |
|
2654 | 2665 | <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes. |
|
2655 | 2666 | |
|
2656 | 2667 | 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2657 | 2668 | |
|
2658 | 2669 | * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really |
|
2659 | 2670 | has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some |
|
2660 | 2671 | reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this |
|
2661 | 2672 | should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure. |
|
2662 | 2673 | |
|
2663 | 2674 | 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2664 | 2675 | |
|
2665 | 2676 | * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make |
|
2666 | 2677 | ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user. |
|
2667 | 2678 | This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least |
|
2668 | 2679 | the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such |
|
2669 | 2680 | instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the |
|
2670 | 2681 | coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term |
|
2671 | 2682 | contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think |
|
2672 | 2683 | this introduces a dependency on python 2.2. |
|
2673 | 2684 | |
|
2674 | 2685 | 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2675 | 2686 | |
|
2676 | 2687 | * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and |
|
2677 | 2688 | removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether. |
|
2678 | 2689 | |
|
2679 | 2690 | 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2680 | 2691 | |
|
2681 | 2692 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system |
|
2682 | 2693 | a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No |
|
2683 | 2694 | special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately |
|
2684 | 2695 | very short. |
|
2685 | 2696 | |
|
2686 | 2697 | 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2687 | 2698 | |
|
2688 | 2699 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added |
|
2689 | 2700 | new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell |
|
2690 | 2701 | command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on |
|
2691 | 2702 | this before making it permanent. |
|
2692 | 2703 | |
|
2693 | 2704 | * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was |
|
2694 | 2705 | requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a |
|
2695 | 2706 | proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne |
|
2696 | 2707 | Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>. |
|
2697 | 2708 | |
|
2698 | 2709 | 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2699 | 2710 | |
|
2700 | 2711 | * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across |
|
2701 | 2712 | various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop. |
|
2702 | 2713 | |
|
2703 | 2714 | 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2704 | 2715 | |
|
2705 | 2716 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with |
|
2706 | 2717 | Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit. |
|
2707 | 2718 | While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner |
|
2708 | 2719 | cases I've missed. |
|
2709 | 2720 | |
|
2710 | 2721 | 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2711 | 2722 | |
|
2712 | 2723 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug |
|
2713 | 2724 | where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic |
|
2714 | 2725 | system would be triggered for @p. |
|
2715 | 2726 | |
|
2716 | 2727 | * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related |
|
2717 | 2728 | cleanups, code unmodified. |
|
2718 | 2729 | |
|
2719 | 2730 | * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle |
|
2720 | 2731 | output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but |
|
2721 | 2732 | having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms, |
|
2722 | 2733 | such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code |
|
2723 | 2734 | was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me. |
|
2724 | 2735 | The actual changes affect many files. |
|
2725 | 2736 | |
|
2726 | 2737 | 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2727 | 2738 | |
|
2728 | 2739 | * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy |
|
2729 | 2740 | of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under |
|
2730 | 2741 | python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level. |
|
2731 | 2742 | |
|
2732 | 2743 | 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2733 | 2744 | |
|
2734 | 2745 | * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand |
|
2735 | 2746 | for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient. |
|
2736 | 2747 | |
|
2737 | 2748 | 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2738 | 2749 | |
|
2739 | 2750 | * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to |
|
2740 | 2751 | int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the |
|
2741 | 2752 | numpy list. |
|
2742 | 2753 | |
|
2743 | 2754 | 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2744 | 2755 | |
|
2745 | 2756 | * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to |
|
2746 | 2757 | prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with |
|
2747 | 2758 | embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module). |
|
2748 | 2759 | Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>. |

|
2750 | 2761 | 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2751 | 2762 | |
|
2752 | 2763 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr() |
|
2753 | 2764 | to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__ |
|
2754 | 2765 | raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug |
|
2755 | 2766 | report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>. |
|
2756 | 2767 | |
|
2757 | 2768 | * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was |
|
2758 | 2769 | missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>. |
|
2759 | 2770 | |
|
2760 | 2771 | 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2761 | 2772 | |
|
2762 | 2773 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where |
|
2763 | 2774 | unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would |
|
2764 | 2775 | mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery |
|
2765 | 2776 | Collins. |
|
2766 | 2777 | |
|
2767 | 2778 | 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0 |
|
2768 | 2779 | |
|
2769 | 2780 | 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2770 | 2781 | |
|
2771 | 2782 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of |
|
2772 | 2783 | improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark |
|
2773 | 2784 | Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>. |
|
2774 | 2785 | |
|
2775 | 2786 | 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2776 | 2787 | |
|
2777 | 2788 | * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form |
|
2778 | 2789 | printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting |
|
2779 | 2790 | with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for |
|
2780 | 2791 | objects which work hard to make nice string forms. |
|
2781 | 2792 | |
|
2782 | 2793 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where |
|
2783 | 2794 | autocall would overtake data access for objects with both |
|
2784 | 2795 | __getitem__ and __call__. |
|
2785 | 2796 | |
|
2786 | 2797 | 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1 |
|
2787 | 2798 | |
|
2788 | 2799 | 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2789 | 2800 | |
|
2790 | 2801 | * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here |
|
2791 | 2802 | seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work |
|
2792 | 2803 | for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have |
|
2793 | 2804 | missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!. |
|
2794 | 2805 | |
|
2795 | 2806 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user |
|
2796 | 2807 | exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods. |
|
2797 | 2808 | (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing, |
|
2798 | 2809 | which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I |
|
2799 | 2810 | wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could |
|
2800 | 2811 | either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if |
|
2801 | 2812 | necessary. |
|
2802 | 2813 | |
|
2803 | 2814 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after |
|
2804 | 2815 | making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to |
|
2805 | 2816 | a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg. |
|
2806 | 2817 | |
|
2807 | 2818 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb |
|
2808 | 2819 | crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb |
|
2809 | 2820 | seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo |
|
2810 | 2821 | Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>. |
|
2811 | 2822 | |
|
2812 | 2823 | * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put |
|
2813 | 2824 | this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for |
|
2814 | 2825 | generators. |
|
2815 | 2826 | |
|
2816 | 2827 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and |
|
2817 | 2828 | _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I |
|
2818 | 2829 | hadn't noticed that they were dead code. |
|
2819 | 2830 | (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals |
|
2820 | 2831 | (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore |
|
2821 | 2832 | for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a |
|
2822 | 2833 | potentially dangerous eval() again. |
|
2823 | 2834 | |
|
2824 | 2835 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the |
|
2825 | 2836 | logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the |
|
2826 | 2837 | use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of |
|
2827 | 2838 | IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in |
|
2828 | 2839 | _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before). |
|
2829 | 2840 | |
|
2830 | 2841 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather |
|
2831 | 2842 | obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to |
|
2832 | 2843 | edit under some circumstances. |
|
2833 | 2844 | (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls |
|
2834 | 2845 | which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls |
|
2835 | 2846 | were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be |
|
2836 | 2847 | triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the |
|
2837 | 2848 | nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler, |
|
2838 | 2849 | and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is |
|
2839 | 2850 | also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've |
|
2840 | 2851 | seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will |
|
2841 | 2852 | need more testing. |
|
2842 | 2853 | |
|
2843 | 2854 | 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2844 | 2855 | |
|
2845 | 2856 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant |
|
2846 | 2857 | simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster |
|
2847 | 2858 | and simpler code. |
|
2848 | 2859 | |
|
2849 | 2860 | 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2850 | 2861 | |
|
2851 | 2862 | * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive. |
|
2852 | 2863 | Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input, |
|
2853 | 2864 | but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version |
|
2854 | 2865 | generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays, |
|
2855 | 2866 | even if they were contiguous. |
|
2856 | 2867 | (l1norm): Added this function. |
|
2857 | 2868 | (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including |
|
2858 | 2869 | l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience |
|
2859 | 2870 | and speed. |
|
2860 | 2871 | |
|
2861 | 2872 | 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2862 | 2873 | |
|
2863 | 2874 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string |
|
2864 | 2875 | exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python |
|
2865 | 2876 | 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2. |
|
2866 | 2877 | |
|
2867 | 2878 | 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2868 | 2879 | |
|
2869 | 2880 | * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for |
|
2870 | 2881 | terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other |
|
2871 | 2882 | terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>. |
|
2872 | 2883 | |
|
2873 | 2884 | * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which |
|
2874 | 2885 | would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old |
|
2875 | 2886 | debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out. |
|
2876 | 2887 | |
|
2877 | 2888 | 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2878 | 2889 | |
|
2879 | 2890 | * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time |
|
2880 | 2891 | (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While |
|
2881 | 2892 | system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much |
|
2882 | 2893 | more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar |
|
2883 | 2894 | activity. |
|
2884 | 2895 | |

2886 | 2897 | |
|
2887 | 2898 | * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building |
|
2888 | 2899 | arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with |
|
2889 | 2900 | Numeric.identity) |
|
2890 | 2901 | |
|
2891 | 2902 | 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2892 | 2903 | |
|
2893 | 2904 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect |
|
2894 | 2905 | arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to |
|
2895 | 2906 | work normally (mainly for Windows users). |
|
2896 | 2907 | |
|
2897 | 2908 | 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2898 | 2909 | |
|
2899 | 2910 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help |
|
2900 | 2911 | instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where |
|
2901 | 2912 | printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now |
|
2902 | 2913 | ipython behaves like normal python does. |
|
2903 | 2914 | |
|
2904 | 2915 | Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre |
|
2905 | 2916 | behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so |
|
2906 | 2917 | it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help |
|
2907 | 2918 | is implemented). |
|
2908 | 2919 | |
|
2909 | 2920 | 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2910 | 2921 | |
|
2911 | 2922 | * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to |
|
2912 | 2923 | return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end |
|
2913 | 2924 | of line. Patch by Gary Bishop. |
|
2914 | 2925 | |
|
2915 | 2926 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook |
|
2916 | 2927 | protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This |
|
2917 | 2928 | prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into |
|
2918 | 2929 | sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of |
|
2919 | 2930 | doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr> |
|
2920 | 2931 | |
|
2921 | 2932 | 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0 |
|
2922 | 2933 | |
|
2923 | 2934 | 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2924 | 2935 | |
|
2925 | 2936 | * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of |
|
2926 | 2937 | a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped |
|
2927 | 2938 | manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack. |
|
2928 | 2939 | |
|
2929 | 2940 | 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2930 | 2941 | |
|
2931 | 2942 | * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since |
|
2932 | 2943 | it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will |
|
2933 | 2944 | work for all users even if they are missing kinds. |
|
2934 | 2945 | |
|
2935 | 2946 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect |
|
2936 | 2947 | failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a |
|
2937 | 2948 | crash report from Prabhu. |
|
2938 | 2949 | |
|
2939 | 2950 | 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2940 | 2951 | |
|
2941 | 2952 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to |
|
2942 | 2953 | protect ipython from user code which may call directly |
|
2943 | 2954 | sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even |
|
2944 | 2955 | when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>. |
|
2945 | 2956 | This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may |
|
2946 | 2957 | also be useful in other cases. |
|
2947 | 2958 | |
|
2948 | 2959 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow |
|
2949 | 2960 | an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception |
|
2950 | 2961 | info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>. |
|
2951 | 2962 | |
|
2952 | 2963 | * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages! |
|
2953 | 2964 | |
|
2954 | 2965 | 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2955 | 2966 | |
|
2956 | 2967 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when |
|
2957 | 2968 | installing for a new user under Windows. |
|
2958 | 2969 | |
|
2959 | 2970 | 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2960 | 2971 | |
|
2961 | 2972 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line |
|
2962 | 2973 | handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do |
|
2963 | 2974 | much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In |
|
2964 | 2975 | the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality |
|
2965 | 2976 | there. |
|
2966 | 2977 | |
|
2967 | 2978 | * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform |
|
2968 | 2979 | info to crash reports. |
|
2969 | 2980 | |
|
2970 | 2981 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option, |
|
2971 | 2982 | just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color |
|
2972 | 2983 | option value at startup. Thanks to Will French |
|
2973 | 2984 | <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report. |
|
2974 | 2985 | |
|
2975 | 2986 | 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2976 | 2987 | |
|
2977 | 2988 | * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString |
|
2978 | 2989 | to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code |
|
2979 | 2990 | quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo |
|
2980 | 2991 | Córdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version. |
|
2981 | 2992 | |
|
2982 | 2993 | 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2983 | 2994 | |
|
2984 | 2995 | * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its |
|
2985 | 2996 | overhead in the common reps==1 case. |
|
2986 | 2997 | |
|
2987 | 2998 | 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2988 | 2999 | |
|
2989 | 3000 | * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource |
|
2990 | 3001 | module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock(). |
|
2991 | 3002 | |
|
2992 | 3003 | 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4 |
|
2993 | 3004 | |
|
2994 | 3005 | 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
2995 | 3006 | |
|
2996 | 3007 | * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a |
|
2997 | 3008 | separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer. |
|
2998 | 3009 | That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done. |
|
2999 | 3010 | |
|
3000 | 3011 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for |
|
3001 | 3012 | indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination |
|
3002 | 3013 | with the new auto-indent option. |
|
3003 | 3014 | |
|
3004 | 3015 | 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3005 | 3016 | |
|
3006 | 3017 | * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for |
|
3007 | 3018 | self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle |
|
3008 | 3019 | this class from the main Shell class. |
|
3009 | 3020 | |
|
3010 | 3021 | * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so |
|
3011 | 3022 | that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't |
|
3012 | 3023 | really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to |
|
3013 | 3024 | enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the |
|
3014 | 3025 | option). |
|
3015 | 3026 | |
|
3016 | 3027 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional |
|
3017 | 3028 | auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu |
|
3018 | 3029 | <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't |
|
3019 | 3030 | get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out |
|
3020 | 3031 | how to make that part go well, it will become on by default. |
|
3021 | 3032 | |
|
3022 | 3033 | * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would |
|
3023 | 3034 | crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt |
|
3024 | 3035 | string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>. |
|
3025 | 3036 | |
|
3026 | 3037 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the |
|
3027 | 3038 | ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the |
|
3028 | 3039 | 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point |
|
3029 | 3040 | changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect |
|
3030 | 3041 | tracebacks. |
|
3031 | 3042 | |
|
3032 | 3043 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to |
|
3033 | 3044 | pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a |
|
3034 | 3045 | contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr> |
|
3035 | 3046 | |
|
3036 | 3047 | 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3037 | 3048 | |
|
3038 | 3049 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where |
|
3039 | 3050 | all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of |
|
3040 | 3051 | ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the |
|
3041 | 3052 | modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files. |
|
3042 | 3053 | |
|
3043 | 3054 | 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3044 | 3055 | |
|
3045 | 3056 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to |
|
3046 | 3057 | handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that |
|
3047 | 3058 | lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins |
|
3048 | 3059 | for the bug report. |
|
3049 | 3060 | |
|
3050 | 3061 | 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3051 | 3062 | |
|
3052 | 3063 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug |
|
3053 | 3064 | where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm(). |
|
3054 | 3065 | Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug |
|
3055 | 3066 | report. |
|
3056 | 3067 | |
|
3057 | 3068 | 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3058 | 3069 | |
|
3059 | 3070 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler |
|
3060 | 3071 | before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the |
|
3061 | 3072 | end). |
|
3062 | 3073 | |
|
3063 | 3074 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr |
|
3064 | 3075 | output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this |
|
3065 | 3076 | too often, or I would have heard about it. |
|
3066 | 3077 | |
|
3067 | 3078 | 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3068 | 3079 | |
|
3069 | 3080 | * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from |
|
3070 | 3081 | 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink |
|
3071 | 3082 | for the patch. |
|
3072 | 3083 | |
|
3073 | 3084 | 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3074 | 3085 | |
|
3075 | 3086 | * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal() |
|
3076 | 3087 | functions. |
|
3077 | 3088 | |
|
3078 | 3089 | 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3 |
|
3079 | 3090 | |
|
3080 | 3091 | 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3081 | 3092 | |
|
3082 | 3093 | * setupext/install_data_ext.py |
|
3083 | 3094 | (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack |
|
3084 | 3095 | Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to |
|
3085 | 3096 | the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a |
|
3086 | 3097 | private fix. |
|
3087 | 3098 | |
|
3088 | 3099 | * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's |
|
3089 | 3100 | changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details. |
|
3090 | 3101 | The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a |
|
3091 | 3102 | bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a |
|
3092 | 3103 | separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts |
|
3093 | 3104 | now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The |
|
3094 | 3105 | manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been |
|
3095 | 3106 | fixed for this setup. |
|
3096 | 3107 | |
|
3097 | 3108 | * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and |
|
3098 | 3109 | created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script. |
|
3099 | 3110 | |
|
3100 | 3111 | 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2 |
|
3101 | 3112 | |
|
3102 | 3113 | 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3103 | 3114 | |
|
3104 | 3115 | * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the |
|
3105 | 3116 | long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals. |
|
3106 | 3117 | The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be |
|
3107 | 3118 | passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to |
|
3108 | 3119 | normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have |
|
3109 | 3120 | two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the |
|
3110 | 3121 | appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in |
|
3111 | 3122 | Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and |
|
3112 | 3123 | annoying bug is finally fixed. |
|
3113 | 3124 | |
|
3114 | 3125 | All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem |
|
3115 | 3126 | and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>. |
|
3116 | 3127 | *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this. |
|
3117 | 3128 | |
|
3118 | 3129 | 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1 |
|
3119 | 3130 | |
|
3120 | 3131 | 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3121 | 3132 | |
|
3122 | 3133 | * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a |
|
3123 | 3134 | separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar |
|
3124 | 3135 | pickle-related issue in @run). |
|
3125 | 3136 | |
|
3126 | 3137 | 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3127 | 3138 | |
|
3128 | 3139 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control |
|
3129 | 3140 | the autocall option at runtime. |
|
3130 | 3141 | (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns |
|
3131 | 3142 | across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell. |
|
3132 | 3143 | (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted |
|
3133 | 3144 | names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently |
|
3134 | 3145 | defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found, |
|
3135 | 3146 | but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused. |
|
3136 | 3147 | (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf |
|
3137 | 3148 | Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to |
|
3138 | 3149 | that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the |
|
3139 | 3150 | top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the |
|
3140 | 3151 | namespace where code is being executed with something that looks |
|
3141 | 3152 | enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores |
|
3142 | 3153 | a named reference to the importing module, we need this for |
|
3143 | 3154 | pickles to save something sensible. |
|
3144 | 3155 | |
|
3145 | 3156 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option. |
|
3146 | 3157 | |
|
3147 | 3158 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of |
|
3148 | 3159 | the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is |
|
3149 | 3160 | also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all. |
|
3150 | 3161 | |
|
3151 | 3162 | 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3152 | 3163 | |
|
3153 | 3164 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a |
|
3154 | 3165 | dict with named keys instead of a tuple. |
|
3155 | 3166 | |
|
3156 | 3167 | * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1. |
|
3157 | 3168 | |
|
3158 | 3169 | * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories |
|
3159 | 3170 | created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just |
|
3160 | 3171 | the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti |
|
3161 | 3172 | <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up. |

3164 | 3175 | |
|
3165 | 3176 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching |
|
3166 | 3177 | of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This |
|
3167 | 3178 | one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the |
|
3168 | 3179 | array is non-contiguous. |
|
3169 | 3180 | |
|
3170 | 3181 | 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3171 | 3182 | |
|
3172 | 3183 | * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would |
|
3173 | 3184 | not return any value at all (even though the command would get |
|
3174 | 3185 | executed). |
|
3175 | 3186 | (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure |
|
3176 | 3187 | proper ordering of commands and command output in the total |
|
3177 | 3188 | output. |
|
3178 | 3189 | (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and |
|
3179 | 3190 | system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for |
|
3180 | 3191 | compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs |
|
3181 | 3192 | changing. |
|
3182 | 3193 | |
|
3183 | 3194 | 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14 |
|
3184 | 3195 | |
|
3185 | 3196 | 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3186 | 3197 | |
|
3187 | 3198 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where |
|
3188 | 3199 | functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited |
|
3189 | 3200 | (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files |
|
3190 | 3201 | are removed only at IPython's exit. |
|
3191 | 3202 | (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions |
|
3192 | 3203 | on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more |
|
3193 | 3204 | like a normal command-line. |
|
3194 | 3205 | |
|
3195 | 3206 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small |
|
3196 | 3207 | bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly |
|
3197 | 3208 | important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace |
|
3198 | 3209 | through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible). |
|
3199 | 3210 | |
|
3200 | 3211 | 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3201 | 3212 | |
|
3202 | 3213 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed |
|
3203 | 3214 | auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get |
|
3204 | 3215 | triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to |
|
3205 | 3216 | allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up. |
|
3206 | 3217 | |
|
3207 | 3218 | 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3208 | 3219 | |
|
3209 | 3220 | * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of |
|
3210 | 3221 | lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This |
|
3211 | 3222 | prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better |
|
3212 | 3223 | long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars |
|
3213 | 3224 | for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't |
|
3214 | 3225 | think it's worth doing. |
|
3215 | 3226 | |
|
3216 | 3227 | 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50 |
|
3217 | 3228 | |
|
3218 | 3229 | 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3219 | 3230 | |
|
3220 | 3231 | * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform |
|
3221 | 3232 | Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes. |
|
3222 | 3233 | |
|
3223 | 3234 | * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection |
|
3224 | 3235 | code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking |
|
3225 | 3236 | konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX |
|
3226 | 3237 | also work ok. |
|
3227 | 3238 | |
|
3228 | 3239 | 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49 |
|
3229 | 3240 | |
|
3230 | 3241 | 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3231 | 3242 | |
|
3232 | 3243 | * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea. |
|
3233 | 3244 | |
|
3234 | 3245 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to |
|
3235 | 3246 | allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same |
|
3236 | 3247 | of gnuplot data files. |
|
3237 | 3248 | |
|
3238 | 3249 | 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3239 | 3250 | |
|
3240 | 3251 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y) |
|
3241 | 3252 | value of exit question to be acknowledged. |
|
3242 | 3253 | |
|
3243 | 3254 | 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3244 | 3255 | |
|
3245 | 3256 | * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added |
|
3246 | 3257 | by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble |
|
3247 | 3258 | to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu> |
|
3248 | 3259 | for pointing this out. |
|
3249 | 3260 | |
|
3250 | 3261 | 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3251 | 3262 | |
|
3252 | 3263 | * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section. |
|
3253 | 3264 | |
|
3254 | 3265 | * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with |
|
3255 | 3266 | a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in |
|
3256 | 3267 | Interactive. |
|
3257 | 3268 | |
|
3258 | 3269 | * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't |
|
3259 | 3270 | being imported from iplib. |
|
3260 | 3271 | |
|
3261 | 3272 | * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc |
|
3262 | 3273 | for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called |
|
3263 | 3274 | 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and |
|
3264 | 3275 | common name. |
|
3265 | 3276 | |
|
3266 | 3277 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken |
|
3267 | 3278 | bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots. |
|
3268 | 3279 | |
|
3269 | 3280 | * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should |
|
3270 | 3281 | suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful. |
|
3271 | 3282 | |
|
3272 | 3283 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot |
|
3273 | 3284 | to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than |
|
3274 | 3285 | the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code |
|
3275 | 3286 | is also fairly clean and well documented now (including |
|
3276 | 3287 | docstrings). |
|
3277 | 3288 | |
|
3278 | 3289 | 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3279 | 3290 | |
|
3280 | 3291 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring |
|
3281 | 3292 | (inconsistent with options). |
|
3282 | 3293 | |
|
3283 | 3294 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been |
|
3284 | 3295 | manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it. |
|
3285 | 3296 | (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly |
|
3286 | 3297 | eps output. |
|
3287 | 3298 | |
|
3288 | 3299 | 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3289 | 3300 | |
|
3290 | 3301 | * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they |
|
3291 | 3302 | don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François |
|
3292 | 3303 | Pinard. |
|
3293 | 3304 | |
|
3294 | 3305 | 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3295 | 3306 | |
|
3296 | 3307 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing |
|
3297 | 3308 | history file for new users. |
|
3298 | 3309 | (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the |
|
3299 | 3310 | user running in the .ipython dir. |
|
3300 | 3311 | (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be |
|
3301 | 3312 | created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory |
|
3302 | 3313 | Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report. |
|
3303 | 3314 | |
|
3304 | 3315 | * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no |
|
3305 | 3316 | type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code |
|
3306 | 3317 | consistently. |
|
3307 | 3318 | |
|
3308 | 3319 | * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the |
|
3309 | 3320 | context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make |
|
3310 | 3321 | the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in |
|
3311 | 3322 | libraries I don't have access to. |
|
3312 | 3323 | |
|
3313 | 3324 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last |
|
3314 | 3325 | line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair |
|
3315 | 3326 | warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's |
|
3316 | 3327 | an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full |
|
3317 | 3328 | report. |
|
3318 | 3329 | |
|
3319 | 3330 | 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3320 | 3331 | |
|
3321 | 3332 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap |
|
3322 | 3333 | otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set |
|
3323 | 3334 | sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report |
|
3324 | 3335 | from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com. |
|
3325 | 3336 | |
|
3326 | 3337 | 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3327 | 3338 | |
|
3328 | 3339 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added |
|
3329 | 3340 | __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when |
|
3330 | 3341 | the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This |
|
3331 | 3342 | allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this |
|
3332 | 3343 | was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython |
|
3333 | 3344 | instance has been created. |
|
3334 | 3345 | |
|
3335 | 3346 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a |
|
3336 | 3347 | UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I |
|
3337 | 3348 | modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a |
|
3338 | 3349 | dict by hand. |
|
3339 | 3350 | |
|
3340 | 3351 | 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3341 | 3352 | |
|
3342 | 3353 | * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no |
|
3343 | 3354 | header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as |
|
3344 | 3355 | before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in |
|
3345 | 3356 | IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have |
|
3346 | 3357 | broken. |
|
3347 | 3358 | |
|
3348 | 3359 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to |
|
3349 | 3360 | handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous |
|
3350 | 3361 | code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than |
|
3351 | 3362 | necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user. |
|
3352 | 3363 | |
|
3353 | 3364 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by |
|
3354 | 3365 | default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes, |
|
3355 | 3366 | it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions |
|
3356 | 3367 | tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d, |
|
3357 | 3368 | is a valid one. |
|
3358 | 3369 | |
|
3359 | 3370 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a |
|
3360 | 3371 | showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit |
|
3361 | 3372 | confirmation to have yes as the default. |
|
3362 | 3373 | |
|
3363 | 3374 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from |
|
3364 | 3375 | this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was |
|
3365 | 3376 | simply leftover junk. |
|
3366 | 3377 | |
|
3367 | 3378 | 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3368 | 3379 | |
|
3369 | 3380 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option |
|
3370 | 3381 | added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for |
|
3371 | 3382 | confirmation. After a request by François Pinard. |
|
3372 | 3383 | |
|
3373 | 3384 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead |
|
3374 | 3385 | of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the |
|
3375 | 3386 | exceptions. |
|
3376 | 3387 | |
|
3377 | 3388 | 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3378 | 3389 | |
|
3379 | 3390 | * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and |
|
3380 | 3391 | the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates |
|
3381 | 3392 | ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart. |
|
3382 | 3393 | This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by |
|
3383 | 3394 | François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>. |
|
3384 | 3395 | |
|
3385 | 3396 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to |
|
3386 | 3397 | refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist). |
|
3387 | 3398 | |
|
3388 | 3399 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed |
|
3389 | 3400 | AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong |
|
3390 | 3401 | <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been |
|
3391 | 3402 | introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval |
|
3392 | 3403 | problem mentioned below. |
|
3393 | 3404 | |
|
3394 | 3405 | 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3395 | 3406 | |
|
3396 | 3407 | * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows |
|
3397 | 3408 | installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>. |
|
3398 | 3409 | |
|
3399 | 3410 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to |
|
3400 | 3411 | this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw |
|
3401 | 3412 | it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting |
|
3402 | 3413 | called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for |
|
3403 | 3414 | automagic which was evaluating the input line silently. |
|
3404 | 3415 | |
|
3405 | 3416 | This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side |
|
3406 | 3417 | effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now, |
|
3407 | 3418 | without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for |
|
3408 | 3419 | actual function names. |
|
3409 | 3420 | |
|
3410 | 3421 | But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just |
|
3411 | 3422 | don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in |
|
3412 | 3423 | the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However |
|
3413 | 3424 | that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code |
|
3414 | 3425 | slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can |
|
3415 | 3426 | really be only function/method names. |
|
3416 | 3427 | |
|
3417 | 3428 | 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3418 | 3429 | |
|
3419 | 3430 | * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac |
|
3420 | 3431 | OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from |
|
3421 | 3432 | distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions. |
|
3422 | 3433 | |
|
3423 | 3434 | 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3424 | 3435 | |
|
3425 | 3436 | * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing |
|
3426 | 3437 | terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi |
|
3427 | 3438 | <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it. |
|
3428 | 3439 | |
|
3429 | 3440 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues, |
|
3430 | 3441 | thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>. |
|
3431 | 3442 | |
|
3432 | 3443 | * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks |
|
3433 | 3444 | to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad |
|
3434 | 3445 | <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem. |
|
3435 | 3446 | |
|
3436 | 3447 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for |
|
3437 | 3448 | global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user |
|
3438 | 3449 | globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com> |
|
3439 | 3450 | |
|
3440 | 3451 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6 |
|
3441 | 3452 | compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow |
|
3442 | 3453 | <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz> |
|
3443 | 3454 | |
|
3444 | 3455 | 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3445 | 3456 | |
|
3446 | 3457 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for |
|
3447 | 3458 | Gnuplot.File objects. |
|

|
3450 | 3461 | |
|
3451 | 3462 | * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for |
|
3452 | 3463 | quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution |
|
3453 | 3464 | times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out(). |
|
3454 | 3465 | |
|
3455 | 3466 | 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3456 | 3467 | |
|
3457 | 3468 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed |
|
3458 | 3469 | bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion. |
|
3459 | 3470 | |
|
3460 | 3471 | * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's |
|
3461 | 3472 | all_completions code to begin the emacs integration. |
|
3462 | 3473 | |
|
3463 | 3474 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles' |
|
3464 | 3475 | argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting. |
|
3465 | 3476 | |
|
3466 | 3477 | 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3467 | 3478 | |
|
3468 | 3479 | * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of |
|
3469 | 3480 | 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in |
|
3470 | 3481 | non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau |
|
3471 | 3482 | <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report. |
|
3472 | 3483 | |
|
3473 | 3484 | 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3474 | 3485 | |
|
3475 | 3486 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for |
|
3476 | 3487 | a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is |
|
3477 | 3488 | entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge. |
|
3478 | 3489 | |
|
3479 | 3490 | 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3480 | 3491 | |
|
3481 | 3492 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when |
|
3482 | 3493 | reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a |
|
3483 | 3494 | workaround). |
|
3484 | 3495 | |
|
3485 | 3496 | 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3486 | 3497 | |
|
3487 | 3498 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to |
|
3488 | 3499 | __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns. |
|
3489 | 3500 | |
|
3490 | 3501 | 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3491 | 3502 | |
|
3492 | 3503 | * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed |
|
3493 | 3504 | name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default. |
|
3494 | 3505 | |
|
3495 | 3506 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to |
|
3496 | 3507 | '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when |
|
3497 | 3508 | .strip() is called on it. |
|
3498 | 3509 | |
|
3499 | 3510 | |
|
3500 | 3511 | 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3501 | 3512 | |
|
3502 | 3513 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing |
|
3503 | 3514 | of files in current directory when a file is executed via |
|
3504 | 3515 | @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. |
|
3505 | 3516 | |
|
3506 | 3517 | * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA |
|
3507 | 3518 | <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs! |
|
3508 | 3519 | |
|
3509 | 3520 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default |
|
3510 | 3521 | editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a |
|
3511 | 3522 | string!). A. Schmolck caught this one. |
|
3512 | 3523 | |
|
3513 | 3524 | 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3514 | 3525 | |
|
3515 | 3526 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user |
|
3516 | 3527 | defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to |
|
3517 | 3528 | __main__. |
|
3518 | 3529 | |
|
3519 | 3530 | * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also |
|
3520 | 3531 | regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays. |
|
3521 | 3532 | |
|
3522 | 3533 | * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output |
|
3523 | 3534 | supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and |
|
3524 | 3535 | Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like |
|
3525 | 3536 | Mathematica behaves. |
|
3526 | 3537 | |
|
3527 | 3538 | 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3528 | 3539 | |
|
3529 | 3540 | * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of |
|
3530 | 3541 | .ini extensions for profiels under Windows. |
|
3531 | 3542 | |
|
3532 | 3543 | * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of |
|
3533 | 3544 | string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck |
|
3534 | 3545 | <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net> |
|
3535 | 3546 | |
|
3536 | 3547 | * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a |
|
3537 | 3548 | pre-configured Gnuplot instance. |
|
3538 | 3549 | |
|
3539 | 3550 | 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3540 | 3551 | |
|
3541 | 3552 | * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the |
|
3542 | 3553 | underflow problems in Numeric. |
|
3543 | 3554 | (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer |
|
3544 | 3555 | for exact integer powers of 2. |
|
3545 | 3556 | |
|
3546 | 3557 | * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~' |
|
3547 | 3558 | properly. |
|
3548 | 3559 | |
|
3549 | 3560 | 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3550 | 3561 | |
|
3551 | 3562 | * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like |
|
3552 | 3563 | Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info. |
|
3553 | 3564 | |
|
3554 | 3565 | 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3555 | 3566 | |
|
3556 | 3567 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r |
|
3557 | 3568 | according to Mike Heeter's suggestions. |
|
3558 | 3569 | |
|
3559 | 3570 | 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3560 | 3571 | |
|
3561 | 3572 | * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot |
|
3562 | 3573 | system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files |
|
3563 | 3574 | make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external |
|
3564 | 3575 | programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of |
|
3565 | 3576 | hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't |
|
3566 | 3577 | get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several |
|
3567 | 3578 | times). |
|
3568 | 3579 | |
|
3569 | 3580 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to |
|
3570 | 3581 | resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has |
|
3571 | 3582 | been redirected by user this gets honored. |
|
3572 | 3583 | |
|
3573 | 3584 | 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3574 | 3585 | |
|
3575 | 3586 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to |
|
3576 | 3587 | IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's |
|
3577 | 3588 | embedded code. |
|
3578 | 3589 | |
|
3579 | 3590 | * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after |
|
3580 | 3591 | Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in |
|
3581 | 3592 | PYTHONSTARTUP. |
|
3582 | 3593 | |
|
3583 | 3594 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing |
|
3584 | 3595 | from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe |
|
3585 | 3596 | a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's |
|
3586 | 3597 | less special-casing to remember. |
|
3587 | 3598 | |
|
3588 | 3599 | 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3589 | 3600 | |
|
3590 | 3601 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat |
|
3591 | 3602 | command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter. |
|
3592 | 3603 | (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given |
|
3593 | 3604 | arg is not a defined object. |
|
3594 | 3605 | (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also |
|
3595 | 3606 | a Mike Heeter idea. |
|
3596 | 3607 | |
|
3597 | 3608 | * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to |
|
3598 | 3609 | plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for |
|
3599 | 3610 | interactive use. |
|
3600 | 3611 | |
|
3601 | 3612 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to |
|
3602 | 3613 | filenames. |
|
3603 | 3614 | |
|
3604 | 3615 | 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3605 | 3616 | |
|
3606 | 3617 | * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit |
|
3607 | 3618 | initialization via another struct. |
|
3608 | 3619 | |
|
3609 | 3620 | * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful |
|
3610 | 3621 | interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts. |
|
3611 | 3622 | |
|
3612 | 3623 | 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3613 | 3624 | |
|
3614 | 3625 | * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx |
|
3615 | 3626 | documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting |
|
3616 | 3627 | too big). |
|
3617 | 3628 | |
|
3618 | 3629 | 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3619 | 3630 | |
|
3620 | 3631 | * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to |
|
3621 | 3632 | fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't |
|
3622 | 3633 | know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter |
|
3623 | 3634 | <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases. |
|
3624 | 3635 | |
|
3625 | 3636 | 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3626 | 3637 | |
|
3627 | 3638 | * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in |
|
3628 | 3639 | macros having broken. |
|
3629 | 3640 | |
|
3630 | 3641 | 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3631 | 3642 | |
|
3632 | 3643 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently |
|
3633 | 3644 | introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was |
|
3634 | 3645 | being written one character per line! This came from the redesign |
|
3635 | 3646 | of the input history as a special list which slices to strings, |
|
3636 | 3647 | not to lists. |
|
3637 | 3648 | |
|
3638 | 3649 | 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3639 | 3650 | |
|
3640 | 3651 | * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table |
|
3641 | 3652 | be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these |
|
3642 | 3653 | classes needs some serious overhauling. |
|
3643 | 3654 | |
|
3644 | 3655 | * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug |
|
3645 | 3656 | which was ignoring '_' in option names. |
|
3646 | 3657 | |
|
3647 | 3658 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed |
|
3648 | 3659 | 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a |
|
3649 | 3660 | bit more readable and also safer than verbose. |
|
3650 | 3661 | |
|
3651 | 3662 | * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of |
|
3652 | 3663 | triple-quoted strings. |
|
3653 | 3664 | |
|
3654 | 3665 | * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object |
|
3655 | 3666 | introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy |
|
3656 | 3667 | wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier |
|
3657 | 3668 | to put these functions into our modified pdb. |
|
3658 | 3669 | This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module, |
|
3659 | 3670 | so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted. |
|
3660 | 3671 | |
|
3661 | 3672 | 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3662 | 3673 | |
|
3663 | 3674 | * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate |
|
3664 | 3675 | module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of |
|
3665 | 3676 | ultraTB). |
|
3666 | 3677 | |
|
3667 | 3678 | 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3668 | 3679 | |
|
3669 | 3680 | * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance): |
|
3670 | 3681 | fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as |
|
3671 | 3682 | long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite |
|
3672 | 3683 | user's 'g' variables). |
|
3673 | 3684 | |
|
3674 | 3685 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out |
|
3675 | 3686 | global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect |
|
3676 | 3687 | In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised. |
|
3677 | 3688 | (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of |
|
3678 | 3689 | input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of |
|
3679 | 3690 | macros. |
|
3680 | 3691 | |
|
3681 | 3692 | 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3682 | 3693 | |
|
3683 | 3694 | * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython |
|
3684 | 3695 | without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users. |
|
3685 | 3696 | |
|
3686 | 3697 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to |
|
3687 | 3698 | execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details: |
|
3688 | 3699 | http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html |
|
3689 | 3700 | |
|
3690 | 3701 | 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3691 | 3702 | |
|
3692 | 3703 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object |
|
3693 | 3704 | introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and |
|
3694 | 3705 | psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes |
|
3695 | 3706 | remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as |
|
3696 | 3707 | aliases. |
|
3697 | 3708 | |
|
3698 | 3709 | 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3699 | 3710 | |
|
3700 | 3711 | * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood |
|
3701 | 3712 | what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp |
|
3702 | 3713 | files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having |
|
3703 | 3714 | both pipes and the mouse on is bad news. |
|
3704 | 3715 | |
|
3705 | 3716 | 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3706 | 3717 | |
|
3707 | 3718 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search |
|
3708 | 3719 | bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when |
|
3709 | 3720 | user-defined functions overrode them. |
|
3710 | 3721 | |
|
3711 | 3722 | 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3712 | 3723 | |
|
3713 | 3724 | * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from |
|
3714 | 3725 | __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline. |
|
3715 | 3726 | |
|
3716 | 3727 | 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3717 | 3728 | |
|
3718 | 3729 | * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c |
|
3719 | 3730 | it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for |
|
3720 | 3731 | IPython. |
|
3721 | 3732 | |
|
3722 | 3733 | * Released 0.2.13 |
|
3723 | 3734 | |
|
3724 | 3735 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the |
|
3725 | 3736 | profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler |
|
3726 | 3737 | module are directly supported in IPython, both for single |
|
3727 | 3738 | expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p). |
|
3728 | 3739 | |
|
3729 | 3740 | 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3730 | 3741 | |
|
3731 | 3742 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of |
|
3732 | 3743 | magic properly formatted for screen. |
|
3733 | 3744 | |
|
3734 | 3745 | * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in |
|
3735 | 3746 | doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit). |
|
3736 | 3747 | |
|
3737 | 3748 | * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go |
|
3738 | 3749 | through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving, |
|
3739 | 3750 | etc.) |
|
3740 | 3751 | |
|
3741 | 3752 | 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3742 | 3753 | |
|
3743 | 3754 | * Released 0.2.12 |
|
3744 | 3755 | |
|
3745 | 3756 | 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3746 | 3757 | |
|
3747 | 3758 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently |
|
3748 | 3759 | introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken. |
|
3749 | 3760 | (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb |
|
3750 | 3761 | (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in |
|
3751 | 3762 | the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as |
|
3752 | 3763 | an alias to @run -i. |
|
3753 | 3764 | |
|
3754 | 3765 | * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance): |
|
3755 | 3766 | fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong). |
|
3756 | 3767 | |
|
3757 | 3768 | * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1 |
|
3758 | 3769 | |
|
3759 | 3770 | * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now |
|
3760 | 3771 | 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as |
|
3761 | 3772 | expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release. |
|
3762 | 3773 | |
|
3763 | 3774 | * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which |
|
3764 | 3775 | functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT |
|
3765 | 3776 | import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's |
|
3766 | 3777 | readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the |
|
3767 | 3778 | debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the |
|
3768 | 3779 | completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit |
|
3769 | 3780 | tricky, and I'll have to implement it later. |
|
3770 | 3781 | |
|
3771 | 3782 | 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3772 | 3783 | |
|
3773 | 3784 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for |
|
3774 | 3785 | magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being |
|
3775 | 3786 | printed). |
|
3776 | 3787 | |
|
3777 | 3788 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace |
|
3778 | 3789 | identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line |
|
3779 | 3790 | files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who. |
|
3780 | 3791 | |
|
3781 | 3792 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in |
|
3782 | 3793 | log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs. |
|
3783 | 3794 | |
|
3784 | 3795 | * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly |
|
3785 | 3796 | handle magic commands in them. |
|
3786 | 3797 | (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart |
|
3787 | 3798 | ~/mylog' now works. |
|
3788 | 3799 | |
|
3789 | 3800 | * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with |
|
3790 | 3801 | '/' would be completed as magic names. |
|
3791 | 3802 | |
|
3792 | 3803 | 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3793 | 3804 | |
|
3794 | 3805 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to |
|
3795 | 3806 | allow running full programs under the profiler's control. |
|
3796 | 3807 | |
|
3797 | 3808 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars |
|
3798 | 3809 | mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting |
|
3799 | 3810 | variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's |
|
3800 | 3811 | not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge |
|
3801 | 3812 | variables are in the context of an exception. |
|
3802 | 3813 | (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was |
|
3803 | 3814 | triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes. |
|
3804 | 3815 | |
|
3805 | 3816 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been |
|
3806 | 3817 | implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options(). |
|
3807 | 3818 | |
|
3808 | 3819 | 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3809 | 3820 | |
|
3810 | 3821 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that |
|
3811 | 3822 | magics can parse options easier. |
|
3812 | 3823 | (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(), |
|
3813 | 3824 | suggested by Chris Hart. |
|
3814 | 3825 | (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if |
|
3815 | 3826 | directory actually is in history. |
|
3816 | 3827 | |
|
3817 | 3828 | * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential |
|
3818 | 3829 | slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data |
|
3819 | 3830 | structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson). |
|
3820 | 3831 | |
|
3821 | 3832 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging |
|
3822 | 3833 | (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in |
|
3823 | 3834 | rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before |
|
3824 | 3835 | (thanks to Jim Boyle). |
|
3825 | 3836 | |
|
3826 | 3837 | 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3827 | 3838 | |
|
3828 | 3839 | * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which |
|
3829 | 3840 | was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case). |
|
3830 | 3841 | |
|
3831 | 3842 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to |
|
3832 | 3843 | text (was a bug). |
|
3833 | 3844 | |
|
3834 | 3845 | 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3835 | 3846 | |
|
3836 | 3847 | * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add |
|
3837 | 3848 | a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt |
|
3838 | 3849 | doesn't over-run the gnuplot one. |
|
3839 | 3850 | |
|
3840 | 3851 | 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3841 | 3852 | |
|
3842 | 3853 | * Released 0.2.10 |
|
3843 | 3854 | |
|
3844 | 3855 | * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically. |
|
3845 | 3856 | |
|
3846 | 3857 | * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran |
|
3847 | 3858 | a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while). |
|
3848 | 3859 | |
|
3849 | 3860 | 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3850 | 3861 | |
|
3851 | 3862 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where |
|
3852 | 3863 | starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list. |
|
3853 | 3864 | |
|
3854 | 3865 | 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3855 | 3866 | |
|
3856 | 3867 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not |
|
3857 | 3868 | all files were being included in an update. Now anything in |
|
3858 | 3869 | UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes |
|
3859 | 3870 | __init__.py) |
|
3860 | 3871 | |
|
3861 | 3872 | 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3862 | 3873 | |
|
3863 | 3874 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__ |
|
3864 | 3875 | to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can |
|
3865 | 3876 | test for being inside IPython. |
|
3866 | 3877 | |
|
3867 | 3878 | * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance): |
|
3868 | 3879 | changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module, |
|
3869 | 3880 | this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module. |
|
3870 | 3881 | GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session. |
|
3871 | 3882 | |
|
3872 | 3883 | 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3873 | 3884 | |
|
3874 | 3885 | * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set |
|
3875 | 3886 | the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the |
|
3876 | 3887 | PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway. |
|
3877 | 3888 | |
|
3878 | 3889 | * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot |
|
3879 | 3890 | embedding example to standard user directory for |
|
3880 | 3891 | distribution. Also put it in the manual. |
|
3881 | 3892 | |
|
3882 | 3893 | * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot |
|
3883 | 3894 | instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure |
|
3884 | 3895 | hidden global). |
|
3885 | 3896 | |
|
3886 | 3897 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted |
|
3887 | 3898 | delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows |
|
3888 | 3899 | completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common |
|
3889 | 3900 | case. |
|
3890 | 3901 | |
|
3891 | 3902 | 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3892 | 3903 | |
|
3893 | 3904 | * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new |
|
3894 | 3905 | syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the |
|
3895 | 3906 | start. |
|
3896 | 3907 | |
|
3897 | 3908 | * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py |
|
3898 | 3909 | (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either |
|
3899 | 3910 | Numeric or math. |
|
3900 | 3911 | |
|
3901 | 3912 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the |
|
3902 | 3913 | provided profiles. Now we have: |
|
3903 | 3914 | -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace. |
|
3904 | 3915 | -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace |
|
3905 | 3916 | -physics -> same as before |
|
3906 | 3917 | |
|
3907 | 3918 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where |
|
3908 | 3919 | user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were |
|
3909 | 3920 | defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search |
|
3910 | 3921 | logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated |
|
3911 | 3922 | string adds). |
|
3912 | 3923 | |
|
3913 | 3924 | * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example |
|
3914 | 3925 | of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in |
|
3915 | 3926 | line with the gnuplot code). |
|
3916 | 3927 | |
|
3917 | 3928 | 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3918 | 3929 | |
|
3919 | 3930 | * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when |
|
3920 | 3931 | all included files change. |
|
3921 | 3932 | |
|
3922 | 3933 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring |
|
3923 | 3934 | the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now). |
|
3924 | 3935 | |
|
3925 | 3936 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load |
|
3926 | 3937 | all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between |
|
3927 | 3938 | g-9.8 and g-gnuplot). |
|
3928 | 3939 | |
|
3929 | 3940 | * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default |
|
3930 | 3941 | name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt. |
|
3931 | 3942 | |
|
3932 | 3943 | * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and |
|
3933 | 3944 | formatted all lists as 'real lists'. |
|
3934 | 3945 | |
|
3935 | 3946 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete |
|
3936 | 3947 | tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is |
|
3937 | 3948 | now accessible. |
|
3938 | 3949 | |
|
3939 | 3950 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed |
|
3940 | 3951 | handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to |
|
3941 | 3952 | be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be |
|
3942 | 3953 | removed. |
|
3943 | 3954 | (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global |
|
3944 | 3955 | namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence |
|
3945 | 3956 | don't crash. |
|
3946 | 3957 | (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so |
|
3947 | 3958 | that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one |
|
3948 | 3959 | remains available. |
|
3949 | 3960 | |
|
3950 | 3961 | 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3951 | 3962 | |
|
3952 | 3963 | * Added information about pdb in the docs. |
|
3953 | 3964 | |
|
3954 | 3965 | 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3955 | 3966 | |
|
3956 | 3967 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to |
|
3957 | 3968 | allow passing config options at creation time which may override |
|
3958 | 3969 | anything set in the config files or command line. This is |
|
3959 | 3970 | particularly useful for configuring embedded instances. |
|
3960 | 3971 | |
|
3961 | 3972 | 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3962 | 3973 | |
|
3963 | 3974 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could |
|
3964 | 3975 | crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of |
|
3965 | 3976 | sync with the output counter. |
|
3966 | 3977 | |
|
3967 | 3978 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug |
|
3968 | 3979 | mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself. |
|
3969 | 3980 | |
|
3970 | 3981 | 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3971 | 3982 | |
|
3972 | 3983 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up |
|
3973 | 3984 | readline, fix it back after each call. |
|
3974 | 3985 | |
|
3975 | 3986 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private |
|
3976 | 3987 | method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that |
|
3977 | 3988 | traceback references are properly deleted. |
|
3978 | 3989 | |
|
3979 | 3990 | * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to |
|
3980 | 3991 | improve printing when pprint is in use. |
|
3981 | 3992 | |
|
3982 | 3993 | 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3983 | 3994 | |
|
3984 | 3995 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit |
|
3985 | 3996 | exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he |
|
3986 | 3997 | should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up, |
|
3987 | 3998 | just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the |
|
3988 | 3999 | embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens |
|
3989 | 4000 | to catch SystemExit). |
|
3990 | 4001 | |
|
3991 | 4002 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag |
|
3992 | 4003 | and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger |
|
3993 | 4004 | after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding |
|
3994 | 4005 | -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated |
|
3995 | 4006 | the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart |
|
3996 | 4007 | (hart-AT-caltech.edu). |
|
3997 | 4008 | |
|
3998 | 4009 | 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
3999 | 4010 | |
|
4000 | 4011 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use |
|
4001 | 4012 | the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler) |
|
4002 | 4013 | so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report. |
|
4003 | 4014 | |
|
4004 | 4015 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme |
|
4005 | 4016 | configurable (it should have always been so). |
|
4006 | 4017 | |
|
4007 | 4018 | 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4008 | 4019 | |
|
4009 | 4020 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here |
|
4010 | 4021 | and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be |
|
4011 | 4022 | done in a more elegant way. |
|
4012 | 4023 | |
|
4013 | 4024 | 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4014 | 4025 | |
|
4015 | 4026 | * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under |
|
4016 | 4027 | win9x also. |
|
4017 | 4028 | |
|
4018 | 4029 | 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4019 | 4030 | |
|
4020 | 4031 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave |
|
4021 | 4032 | sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__. |
|
4022 | 4033 | |
|
4023 | 4034 | 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4024 | 4035 | |
|
4025 | 4036 | * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically). |
|
4026 | 4037 | |
|
4027 | 4038 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit |
|
4028 | 4039 | exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored. |
|
4029 | 4040 | |
|
4030 | 4041 | * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize |
|
4031 | 4042 | naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir. |
|
4032 | 4043 | |
|
4033 | 4044 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-' |
|
4034 | 4045 | from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded. |
|
4035 | 4046 | |
|
4036 | 4047 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with |
|
4037 | 4048 | sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call. |
|
4038 | 4049 | |
|
4039 | 4050 | 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4040 | 4051 | |
|
4041 | 4052 | * Released 0.2.8 |
|
4042 | 4053 | |
|
4043 | 4054 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where |
|
4044 | 4055 | some files weren't being included in a -upgrade. |
|
4045 | 4056 | (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous |
|
4046 | 4057 | on' so that the first tab completes. |
|
4047 | 4058 | (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around |
|
4048 | 4059 | quotes breaking many magic commands. |
|
4049 | 4060 | |
|
4050 | 4061 | * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at |
|
4051 | 4062 | installation. |
|
4052 | 4063 | |
|
4053 | 4064 | * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished |
|
4054 | 4065 | streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp. |
|
4055 | 4066 | |
|
4056 | 4067 | 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4057 | 4068 | |
|
4058 | 4069 | * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the |
|
4059 | 4070 | example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell |
|
4060 | 4071 | for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time. |
|
4061 | 4072 | |
|
4062 | 4073 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent |
|
4063 | 4074 | setting __name__=='__main__'. |
|
4064 | 4075 | |
|
4065 | 4076 | * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added |
|
4066 | 4077 | mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should |
|
4067 | 4078 | extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's |
|
4068 | 4079 | suggestion. |
|
4069 | 4080 | |
|
4070 | 4081 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when |
|
4071 | 4082 | calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd |
|
4072 | 4083 | Baecker for pointing this to me. |
|
4073 | 4084 | |
|
4074 | 4085 | * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse |
|
4075 | 4086 | infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats). |
|
4076 | 4087 | |
|
4077 | 4088 | 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4078 | 4089 | |
|
4079 | 4090 | * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script |
|
4080 | 4091 | which properly handles things for windows users. |
|
4081 | 4092 | |
|
4082 | 4093 | 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4083 | 4094 | |
|
4084 | 4095 | * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically |
|
4085 | 4096 | documented. This information is generated from their docstrings |
|
4086 | 4097 | and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way |
|
4087 | 4098 | we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual |
|
4088 | 4099 | now also has proper version information, also auto-synced. |
|
4089 | 4100 | |
|
4090 | 4101 | For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added. |
|
4091 | 4102 | |
|
4092 | 4103 | 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4093 | 4104 | |
|
4094 | 4105 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors |
|
4095 | 4106 | under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes. |
|
4096 | 4107 | |
|
4097 | 4108 | 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4098 | 4109 | |
|
4099 | 4110 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to |
|
4100 | 4111 | fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if |
|
4101 | 4112 | \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped |
|
4102 | 4113 | weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So |
|
4103 | 4114 | I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old |
|
4104 | 4115 | xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole). |
|
4105 | 4116 | |
|
4106 | 4117 | 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4107 | 4118 | |
|
4108 | 4119 | * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and |
|
4109 | 4120 | updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual. |
|
4110 | 4121 | |
|
4111 | 4122 | * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for |
|
4112 | 4123 | handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a |
|
4113 | 4124 | cache at 20 values. |
|
4114 | 4125 | |
|
4115 | 4126 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the |
|
4116 | 4127 | install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an |
|
4117 | 4128 | 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with |
|
4118 | 4129 | a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new). |
|
4119 | 4130 | |
|
4120 | 4131 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to |
|
4121 | 4132 | @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2). |
|
4122 | 4133 | Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of |
|
4123 | 4134 | 'file show'). |
|
4124 | 4135 | |
|
4125 | 4136 | * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were |
|
4126 | 4137 | backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory. |
|
4127 | 4138 | |
|
4128 | 4139 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt |
|
4129 | 4140 | system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly |
|
4130 | 4141 | intrusive. Test them for a few days. |
|
4131 | 4142 | |
|
4132 | 4143 | * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of |
|
4133 | 4144 | the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user |
|
4134 | 4145 | controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one |
|
4135 | 4146 | can tag embedded instances with particular prompts. |
|
4136 | 4147 | |
|
4137 | 4148 | Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested |
|
4138 | 4149 | embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for |
|
4139 | 4150 | the prompt strings. |
|
4140 | 4151 | |
|
4141 | 4152 | 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4142 | 4153 | |
|
4143 | 4154 | * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added |
|
4144 | 4155 | example file with the bare minimum code for embedding. |
|
4145 | 4156 | |
|
4146 | 4157 | * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added |
|
4147 | 4158 | functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated |
|
4148 | 4159 | either globally or at each call. |
|
4149 | 4160 | |
|
4150 | 4161 | * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of |
|
4151 | 4162 | rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper |
|
4152 | 4163 | coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and |
|
4153 | 4164 | this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should. |
|
4154 | 4165 | |
|
4155 | 4166 | 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4156 | 4167 | |
|
4157 | 4168 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to |
|
4158 | 4169 | @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function. |
|
4159 | 4170 | |
|
4160 | 4171 | * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual. |
|
4161 | 4172 | |
|
4162 | 4173 | * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass |
|
4163 | 4174 | arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up |
|
4164 | 4175 | learning some lisp... |
|
4165 | 4176 | |
|
4166 | 4177 | 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4167 | 4178 | |
|
4168 | 4179 | * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the |
|
4169 | 4180 | py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython |
|
4170 | 4181 | parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass |
|
4171 | 4182 | parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it. |
|
4172 | 4183 | |
|
4173 | 4184 | Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs' |
|
4174 | 4185 | various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal |
|
4175 | 4186 | <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers. |
|
4176 | 4187 | |
|
4177 | 4188 | 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4178 | 4189 | |
|
4179 | 4190 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so |
|
4180 | 4191 | that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better |
|
4181 | 4192 | control to emacs users. |
|
4182 | 4193 | |
|
4183 | 4194 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences |
|
4184 | 4195 | and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers |
|
4185 | 4196 | (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all |
|
4186 | 4197 | seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light |
|
4187 | 4198 | ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It |
|
4188 | 4199 | seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences. |
|
4189 | 4200 | |
|
4190 | 4201 | 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4191 | 4202 | |
|
4192 | 4203 | * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix). |
|
4193 | 4204 | |
|
4194 | 4205 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding |
|
4195 | 4206 | @logstate magic was created. |
|
4196 | 4207 | |
|
4197 | 4208 | * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python |
|
4198 | 4209 | 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working). |
|
4199 | 4210 | |
|
4200 | 4211 | 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4201 | 4212 | |
|
4202 | 4213 | * Released 0.2.6. |
|
4203 | 4214 | |
|
4204 | 4215 | * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet' |
|
4205 | 4216 | option so that logs can come out without any headers at all. |
|
4206 | 4217 | |
|
4207 | 4218 | * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for |
|
4208 | 4219 | SciPy. |
|
4209 | 4220 | |
|
4210 | 4221 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so |
|
4211 | 4222 | that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly |
|
4212 | 4223 | passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code |
|
4213 | 4224 | snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to |
|
4214 | 4225 | the section on embedding and the example file. |
|
4215 | 4226 | |
|
4216 | 4227 | * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just |
|
4217 | 4228 | prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs |
|
4218 | 4229 | buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works. |
|
4219 | 4230 | |
|
4220 | 4231 | * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with |
|
4221 | 4232 | macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace |
|
4222 | 4233 | to work as if they had been typed by the user. |
|
4223 | 4234 | |
|
4224 | 4235 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they |
|
4225 | 4236 | execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then |
|
4226 | 4237 | behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified |
|
4227 | 4238 | for this to work. |
|
4228 | 4239 | |
|
4229 | 4240 | 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4230 | 4241 | |
|
4231 | 4242 | * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files |
|
4232 | 4243 | in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work |
|
4233 | 4244 | well inside Emacs buffers. |
|
4234 | 4245 | (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer. |
|
4235 | 4246 | (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed |
|
4236 | 4247 | same bug in iplib. |
|
4237 | 4248 | |
|
4238 | 4249 | 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4239 | 4250 | |
|
4240 | 4251 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use |
|
4241 | 4252 | of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer. |
|
4242 | 4253 | |
|
4243 | 4254 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to |
|
4244 | 4255 | method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner |
|
4245 | 4256 | and keeps PyChecker happy). |
|
4246 | 4257 | |
|
4247 | 4258 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP |
|
4248 | 4259 | for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only |
|
4249 | 4260 | display is done. |
|
4250 | 4261 | |
|
4251 | 4262 | * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display |
|
4252 | 4263 | functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily. |
|
4253 | 4264 | |
|
4254 | 4265 | * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an |
|
4255 | 4266 | extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It |
|
4256 | 4267 | doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in |
|
4257 | 4268 | place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control |
|
4258 | 4269 | like in Octave. |
|
4259 | 4270 | |
|
4260 | 4271 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic |
|
4261 | 4272 | methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery. |
|
4262 | 4273 | |
|
4263 | 4274 | 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4264 | 4275 | |
|
4265 | 4276 | * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the |
|
4266 | 4277 | whole file a little. |
|
4267 | 4278 | |
|
4268 | 4279 | * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx |
|
4269 | 4280 | document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the |
|
4270 | 4281 | end-user distro. |
|
4271 | 4282 | |
|
4272 | 4283 | * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace |
|
4273 | 4284 | logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by |
|
4274 | 4285 | Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him. |
|
4275 | 4286 | |
|
4276 | 4287 | * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with |
|
4277 | 4288 | automagic (I had wanted this for a long time). |
|
4278 | 4289 | |
|
4279 | 4290 | * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias |
|
4280 | 4291 | to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic |
|
4281 | 4292 | for @file. |
|
4282 | 4293 | |
|
4283 | 4294 | * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All |
|
4284 | 4295 | of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000 |
|
4285 | 4296 | lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing |
|
4286 | 4297 | the code a bit easier. |
|
4287 | 4298 | |
|
4288 | 4299 | * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version |
|
4289 | 4300 | information to crash reports. |
|
4290 | 4301 | |
|
4291 | 4302 | 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4292 | 4303 | |
|
4293 | 4304 | * Released 0.2.5. |
|
4294 | 4305 | |
|
4295 | 4306 | 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4296 | 4307 | |
|
4297 | 4308 | * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts |
|
4298 | 4309 | everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the |
|
4299 | 4310 | color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works. |
|
4300 | 4311 | |
|
4301 | 4312 | 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4302 | 4313 | |
|
4303 | 4314 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an |
|
4304 | 4315 | os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and |
|
4305 | 4316 | have thigs work as expected. |
|
4306 | 4317 | |
|
4307 | 4318 | * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things |
|
4308 | 4319 | work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers |
|
4309 | 4320 | an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager |
|
4310 | 4321 | is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value |
|
4311 | 4322 | of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now. |
|
4312 | 4323 | |
|
4313 | 4324 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme): |
|
4314 | 4325 | modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes. |

|
4316 | 4327 | 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4317 | 4328 | |
|
4318 | 4329 | * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave |
|
4319 | 4330 | user config files with os-native line-endings. |
|
4320 | 4331 | |
|
4321 | 4332 | * README and manual updates. |
|
4322 | 4333 | |
|
4323 | 4334 | * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes |
|
4324 | 4335 | instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings. |
|
4325 | 4336 | |
|
4326 | 4337 | * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with |
|
4327 | 4338 | embedded spaces (very common in Windows). |
|
4328 | 4339 | |
|
4329 | 4340 | * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc |
|
4330 | 4341 | files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated |
|
4331 | 4342 | with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle |
|
4332 | 4343 | extension-less files. |
|
4333 | 4344 | |
|
4334 | 4345 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the |
|
4335 | 4346 | warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no |
|
4336 | 4347 | way to get readline, so why bother with the warning. |
|
4337 | 4348 | |
|
4338 | 4349 | * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__ |
|
4339 | 4350 | for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2. |
|
4340 | 4351 | |
|
4341 | 4352 | * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine |
|
4342 | 4353 | on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That |
|
4343 | 4354 | series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try |
|
4344 | 4355 | porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few |
|
4345 | 4356 | bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string |
|
4346 | 4357 | handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which |
|
4347 | 4358 | Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No |
|
4348 | 4359 | fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at |
|
4349 | 4360 | least make manually a shortcut. |
|
4350 | 4361 | |
|
4351 | 4362 | * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options |
|
4352 | 4363 | into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and |
|
4353 | 4364 | exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup |
|
4354 | 4365 | (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at |
|
4355 | 4366 | runtime, with @colors. |
|
4356 | 4367 | (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old |
|
4357 | 4368 | @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both. |
|
4358 | 4369 | |
|
4359 | 4370 | 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4360 | 4371 | |
|
4361 | 4372 | * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to |
|
4362 | 4373 | configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return> |
|
4363 | 4374 | request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to |
|
4364 | 4375 | read the startup info. |
|
4365 | 4376 | |
|
4366 | 4377 | 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4367 | 4378 | |
|
4368 | 4379 | * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory |
|
4369 | 4380 | variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For |
|
4370 | 4381 | input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are |
|
4371 | 4382 | very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to |
|
4372 | 4383 | type the better off we are. |
|
4373 | 4384 | (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces |
|
4374 | 4385 | the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set |
|
4375 | 4386 | before. |
|
4376 | 4387 | |
|
4377 | 4388 | 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4378 | 4389 | |
|
4379 | 4390 | * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of |
|
4380 | 4391 | extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into |
|
4381 | 4392 | this later. |
|
4382 | 4393 | |
|
4383 | 4394 | 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4384 | 4395 | |
|
4385 | 4396 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to |
|
4386 | 4397 | display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur |
|
4387 | 4398 | (they can be triggered by imported code). |
|
4388 | 4399 | |
|
4389 | 4400 | 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4390 | 4401 | |
|
4391 | 4402 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now |
|
4392 | 4403 | SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of |
|
4393 | 4404 | spitting out only offset information as before. |
|
4394 | 4405 | (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing |
|
4395 | 4406 | programs with command line args inside IPython. |
|
4396 | 4407 | |
|
4397 | 4408 | 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4398 | 4409 | |
|
4399 | 4410 | * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist |
|
4400 | 4411 | to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their |
|
4401 | 4412 | behavior in line with Python's slicing: |
|
4402 | 4413 | a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1] |
|
4403 | 4414 | It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's |
|
4404 | 4415 | conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder. |
|
4405 | 4416 | (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of |
|
4406 | 4417 | macros. |
|
4407 | 4418 | |
|
4408 | 4419 | 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4409 | 4420 | |
|
4410 | 4421 | * Released 0.2.4. |
|
4411 | 4422 | |
|
4412 | 4423 | * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef): |
|
4413 | 4424 | (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error |
|
4414 | 4425 | lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for |
|
4415 | 4426 | re-execution. |
|
4416 | 4427 | |
|
4417 | 4428 | * Updated manual with recent changes. |
|
4418 | 4429 | |
|
4419 | 4430 | * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor |
|
4420 | 4431 | docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing |
|
4421 | 4432 | how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well |
|
4422 | 4433 | documented, of course :) |
|
4423 | 4434 | (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings. |
|
4424 | 4435 | (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and |
|
4425 | 4436 | __call__ info for callable object instances. |
|
4426 | 4437 | |
|
4427 | 4438 | 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4428 | 4439 | |
|
4429 | 4440 | * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work |
|
4430 | 4441 | exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's |
|
4431 | 4442 | still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost. |
|
4432 | 4443 | |
|
4433 | 4444 | 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4434 | 4445 | |
|
4435 | 4446 | * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course, |
|
4436 | 4447 | so I wanted an updated release). |
|
4437 | 4448 | |
|
4438 | 4449 | 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4439 | 4450 | |
|
4440 | 4451 | * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original |
|
4441 | 4452 | code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the |
|
4442 | 4453 | handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise |
|
4443 | 4454 | the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and |
|
4444 | 4455 | interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it. |
|
4445 | 4456 | |
|
4446 | 4457 | 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4447 | 4458 | |
|
4448 | 4459 | * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove |
|
4449 | 4460 | it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider. |
|
4450 | 4461 | |
|
4451 | 4462 | 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4452 | 4463 | |
|
4453 | 4464 | * Released 0.2.2. |
|
4454 | 4465 | |
|
4455 | 4466 | * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the |
|
4456 | 4467 | python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being |
|
4457 | 4468 | it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf |
|
4458 | 4469 | versions. |
|
4459 | 4470 | |
|
4460 | 4471 | * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu |
|
4461 | 4472 | (MayaVi author). |
|
4462 | 4473 | |
|
4463 | 4474 | 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4464 | 4475 | |
|
4465 | 4476 | * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a |
|
4466 | 4477 | good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils |
|
4467 | 4478 | installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go |
|
4468 | 4479 | slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next |
|
4469 | 4480 | summer, rewrite the guts of it... |
|
4470 | 4481 | |
|
4471 | 4482 | * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the |
|
4472 | 4483 | separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner. |
|
4473 | 4484 | |
|
4474 | 4485 | 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4475 | 4486 | |
|
4476 | 4487 | * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the |
|
4477 | 4488 | various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a |
|
4478 | 4489 | nice, full-blown manual. |
|
4479 | 4490 | |
|
4480 | 4491 | * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be |
|
4481 | 4492 | trivially simple for end-users. |
|
4482 | 4493 | |
|
4483 | 4494 | 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4484 | 4495 | |
|
4485 | 4496 | * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at |
|
4486 | 4497 | comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes... |
|
4487 | 4498 | |
|
4488 | 4499 | * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and |
|
4489 | 4500 | cleaned up things. Ready for release. |
|
4490 | 4501 | |
|
4491 | 4502 | 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4492 | 4503 | |
|
4493 | 4504 | * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more |
|
4494 | 4505 | robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for |
|
4495 | 4506 | people to later upgrade versions. |
|
4496 | 4507 | |
|
4497 | 4508 | * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty |
|
4498 | 4509 | brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D |
|
4499 | 4510 | becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case, |
|
4500 | 4511 | C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program |
|
4501 | 4512 | too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching |
|
4502 | 4513 | SystemExit). |
|
4503 | 4514 | |
|
4504 | 4515 | * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell |
|
4505 | 4516 | classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at |
|
4506 | 4517 | least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when |
|
4507 | 4518 | (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined |
|
4508 | 4519 | to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is. |
|
4509 | 4520 | |
|
4510 | 4521 | * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object, |
|
4511 | 4522 | useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for |
|
4512 | 4523 | debugging or dynamical data analysis. |
|
4513 | 4524 | |
|
4514 | 4525 | 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4515 | 4526 | |
|
4516 | 4527 | * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined |
|
4517 | 4528 | objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()). |
|
4518 | 4529 | |
|
4519 | 4530 | * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a |
|
4520 | 4531 | separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the |
|
4521 | 4532 | future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and |
|
4522 | 4533 | html docs out of it will be found). |
|
4523 | 4534 | |
|
4524 | 4535 | * Added @profile to see your profile at any time. |
|
4525 | 4536 | |
|
4526 | 4537 | * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if |
|
4527 | 4538 | using automagic ('p x' prints x). |
|
4528 | 4539 | |
|
4529 | 4540 | * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run. |
|
4530 | 4541 | |
|
4531 | 4542 | * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for |
|
4532 | 4543 | visiting any directory in _dh. |
|
4533 | 4544 | |
|
4534 | 4545 | * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints |
|
4535 | 4546 | it out with numbers. |
|
4536 | 4547 | |
|
4537 | 4548 | 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4538 | 4549 | |
|
4539 | 4550 | * Released 0.1.22 |
|
4540 | 4551 | |
|
4541 | 4552 | * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color |
|
4542 | 4553 | options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash). |
|
4543 | 4554 | |
|
4544 | 4555 | * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the |
|
4545 | 4556 | user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's |
|
4546 | 4557 | hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on |
|
4547 | 4558 | screen the necessary mail command. |
|
4548 | 4559 | |
|
4549 | 4560 | * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light |
|
4550 | 4561 | background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I |
|
4551 | 4562 | guess we should at least give them something readable. |
|
4552 | 4563 | |
|
4553 | 4564 | 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4554 | 4565 | |
|
4555 | 4566 | * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class |
|
4556 | 4567 | for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and |
|
4557 | 4568 | switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every |
|
4558 | 4569 | time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes |
|
4559 | 4570 | is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean |
|
4560 | 4571 | class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper |
|
4561 | 4572 | color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in |
|
4562 | 4573 | its name). |
|
4563 | 4574 | |
|
4564 | 4575 | * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only |
|
4565 | 4576 | contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their |
|
4566 | 4577 | own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant |
|
4567 | 4578 | it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct. |
|
4568 | 4579 | |
|
4569 | 4580 | 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4570 | 4581 | |
|
4571 | 4582 | * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for |
|
4572 | 4583 | public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days. |
|
4573 | 4584 | |
|
4574 | 4585 | * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found |
|
4575 | 4586 | unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path). |
|
4576 | 4587 | |
|
4577 | 4588 | * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow |
|
4578 | 4589 | completion of @-starting lines. |
|
4579 | 4590 | |
|
4580 | 4591 | * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release |
|
4581 | 4592 | info that other files can read from. |
|
4582 | 4593 | |
|
4583 | 4594 | * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in |
|
4584 | 4595 | mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being |
|
4585 | 4596 | logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since |
|
4586 | 4597 | they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session |
|
4587 | 4598 | restores produce less errors. |
|
4588 | 4599 | |
|
4589 | 4600 | * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class |
|
4590 | 4601 | which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable |
|
4591 | 4602 | namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try |
|
4592 | 4603 | to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be |
|
4593 | 4604 | incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done) |
|
4594 | 4605 | |
|
4595 | 4606 | * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all |
|
4596 | 4607 | explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when |
|
4597 | 4608 | really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace |
|
4598 | 4609 | dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere |
|
4599 | 4610 | with this, finally... |
|
4600 | 4611 | |
|
4601 | 4612 | * Small documentation updates. |
|
4602 | 4613 | |
|
4603 | 4614 | * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an |
|
4604 | 4615 | __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should |
|
4605 | 4616 | be used for all special-purpose extensions. |
|
4606 | 4617 | |
|
4607 | 4618 | * File renaming: |
|
4608 | 4619 | ipythonlib --> ipmaker |
|
4609 | 4620 | ipplib --> iplib |
|
4610 | 4621 | This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do. |
|
4611 | 4622 | |
|
4612 | 4623 | * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so |
|
4613 | 4624 | now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its |
|
4614 | 4625 | splitting in smaller functional chunks later. |
|
4615 | 4626 | |
|
4616 | 4627 | * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column |
|
4617 | 4628 | formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is |
|
4618 | 4629 | typically what one gets with a 'print var'. |
|
4619 | 4630 | |

|
4621 | 4632 | |
|
4622 | 4633 | * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get |
|
4623 | 4634 | properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling |
|
4624 | 4635 | is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than |
|
4625 | 4636 | the ad-hoc mess we had). |
|
4626 | 4637 | |
|
4627 | 4638 | * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python |
|
4628 | 4639 | script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less |
|
4629 | 4640 | unnecessary options, less chances for bugs. |
|
4630 | 4641 | |
|
4631 | 4642 | * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if |
|
4632 | 4643 | IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the |
|
4633 | 4644 | road. |
|
4634 | 4645 | |
|
4635 | 4646 | * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names |
|
4636 | 4647 | which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the |
|
4637 | 4648 | logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This |
|
4638 | 4649 | would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged. |
|
4639 | 4650 | |
|
4640 | 4651 | 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4641 | 4652 | |
|
4642 | 4653 | * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter |
|
4643 | 4654 | their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL |
|
4644 | 4655 | file accordingly. |
|
4645 | 4656 | |
|
4646 | 4657 | * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now |
|
4647 | 4658 | sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the |
|
4648 | 4659 | table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to |
|
4649 | 4660 | read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of |
|
4650 | 4661 | lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column |
|
4651 | 4662 | separators and proper padding and justification. |
|
4652 | 4663 | |
|
4653 | 4664 | * Released 0.1.20 |
|
4654 | 4665 | |
|
4655 | 4666 | * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a |
|
4656 | 4667 | copy operation was missing). |
|
4657 | 4668 | |
|
4658 | 4669 | * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since |
|
4659 | 4670 | its output is always quite long. |
|
4660 | 4671 | |
|
4661 | 4672 | * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems |
|
4662 | 4673 | getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just |
|
4663 | 4674 | easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s |
|
4664 | 4675 | games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal. |
|
4665 | 4676 | |
|
4666 | 4677 | * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't |
|
4667 | 4678 | getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash |
|
4668 | 4679 | IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger |
|
4669 | 4680 | division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure. |
|
4670 | 4681 | |
|
4671 | 4682 | 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4672 | 4683 | |
|
4673 | 4684 | * Released 0.1.19 |
|
4674 | 4685 | |
|
4675 | 4686 | * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much |
|
4676 | 4687 | easier to copy/paste code this way. |
|
4677 | 4688 | |
|
4678 | 4689 | * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy |
|
4679 | 4690 | re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's |
|
4680 | 4691 | comment on 'macros'). |
|
4681 | 4692 | |
|
4682 | 4693 | * Small fixes and doc updates. |
|
4683 | 4694 | |
|
4684 | 4695 | * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is |
|
4685 | 4696 | much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line |
|
4686 | 4697 | statements and takes parameters. |
|
4687 | 4698 | |
|
4688 | 4699 | 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4689 | 4700 | |
|
4690 | 4701 | * Version 0.1.18 released. |
|
4691 | 4702 | |
|
4692 | 4703 | * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports. |
|
4693 | 4704 | |
|
4694 | 4705 | * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except |
|
4695 | 4706 | DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change. |
|
4696 | 4707 | |
|
4697 | 4708 | * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up |
|
4698 | 4709 | ipythonrc-* samples. |
|
4699 | 4710 | |
|
4700 | 4711 | * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for |
|
4701 | 4712 | release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?). |
|
4702 | 4713 | |
|
4703 | 4714 | * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion |
|
4704 | 4715 | control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice. |
|
4705 | 4716 | |
|
4706 | 4717 | 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4707 | 4718 | |
|
4708 | 4719 | * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from |
|
4709 | 4720 | _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner |
|
4710 | 4721 | convention. |
|
4711 | 4722 | |
|
4712 | 4723 | * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the |
|
4713 | 4724 | alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think. |
|
4714 | 4725 | |
|
4715 | 4726 | * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened. |
|
4716 | 4727 | |
|
4717 | 4728 | * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation. |
|
4718 | 4729 | (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor) |
|
4719 | 4730 | |
|
4720 | 4731 | * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define |
|
4721 | 4732 | aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should |
|
4722 | 4733 | be there for things deeply connected to IPython's |
|
4723 | 4734 | architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think |
|
4724 | 4735 | is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly |
|
4725 | 4736 | magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize |
|
4726 | 4737 | IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really |
|
4727 | 4738 | desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can |
|
4728 | 4739 | always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but |
|
4729 | 4740 | works. |
|
4730 | 4741 | |
|
4731 | 4742 | 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4732 | 4743 | |
|
4733 | 4744 | * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper |
|
4734 | 4745 | line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is |
|
4735 | 4746 | configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice |
|
4736 | 4747 | right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as |
|
4737 | 4748 | having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it |
|
4738 | 4749 | works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with |
|
4739 | 4750 | all the editors, less does that. |
|
4740 | 4751 | |
|
4741 | 4752 | * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened. |
|
4742 | 4753 | |
|
4743 | 4754 | * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could |
|
4744 | 4755 | crash IPython. |
|
4745 | 4756 | |
|
4746 | 4757 | 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4747 | 4758 | |
|
4748 | 4759 | * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened. |
|
4749 | 4760 | |
|
4750 | 4761 | * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's |
|
4751 | 4762 | possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method |
|
4752 | 4763 | of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically |
|
4753 | 4764 | os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os, |
|
4754 | 4765 | os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some |
|
4755 | 4766 | work in _ofind. |
|
4756 | 4767 | |
|
4757 | 4768 | * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add |
|
4758 | 4769 | to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode |
|
4759 | 4770 | option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean |
|
4760 | 4771 | (famous last words). |
|
4761 | 4772 | |
|
4762 | 4773 | * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on |
|
4763 | 4774 | screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less |
|
4764 | 4775 | unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to |
|
4765 | 4776 | windows). |
|
4766 | 4777 | |
|
4767 | 4778 | * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log |
|
4768 | 4779 | creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded). |
|
4769 | 4780 | |
|
4770 | 4781 | * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen |
|
4771 | 4782 | size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print |
|
4772 | 4783 | or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0 |
|
4773 | 4784 | means auto-detect, and that's the default now. |
|
4774 | 4785 | |
|
4775 | 4786 | * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to |
|
4776 | 4787 | go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about |
|
4777 | 4788 | licences and announce it. |
|
4778 | 4789 | |
|
4779 | 4790 | * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears |
|
4780 | 4791 | for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial, |
|
4781 | 4792 | with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional |
|
4782 | 4793 | separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations. |
|
4783 | 4794 | |
|
4784 | 4795 | 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4785 | 4796 | |
|
4786 | 4797 | * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names |
|
4787 | 4798 | string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate |
|
4788 | 4799 | lists. |
|
4789 | 4800 | |
|
4790 | 4801 | * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled |
|
4791 | 4802 | in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things |
|
4792 | 4803 | are ok. |
|
4793 | 4804 | |
|
4794 | 4805 | * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a |
|
4795 | 4806 | notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers. |
|
4796 | 4807 | |
|
4797 | 4808 | * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send |
|
4798 | 4809 | this to Nathan. |
|
4799 | 4810 | |
|
4800 | 4811 | * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again. |
|
4801 | 4812 | |
|
4802 | 4813 | * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too |
|
4803 | 4814 | kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's |
|
4804 | 4815 | still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload(). |
|
4805 | 4816 | |
|
4806 | 4817 | * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt |
|
4807 | 4818 | accepted). Cleaner. |
|
4808 | 4819 | |
|
4809 | 4820 | * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses |
|
4810 | 4821 | 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically |
|
4811 | 4822 | over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists |
|
4812 | 4823 | (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the |
|
4813 | 4824 | Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko. |
|
4814 | 4825 | |
|
4815 | 4826 | * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log. |
|
4816 | 4827 | |
|
4817 | 4828 | * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty |
|
4818 | 4829 | broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command |
|
4819 | 4830 | history after a log replay. |
|
4820 | 4831 | |
|
4821 | 4832 | * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My |
|
4822 | 4833 | idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be |
|
4823 | 4834 | pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but |
|
4824 | 4835 | seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called |
|
4825 | 4836 | -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we |
|
4826 | 4837 | ever get real session saving working, -session is now available. |
|
4827 | 4838 | |
|
4828 | 4839 | * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks, |
|
4829 | 4840 | currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the |
|
4830 | 4841 | infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme |
|
4831 | 4842 | class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts |
|
4832 | 4843 | and the tracebacks should be straightforward. |
|
4833 | 4844 | |
|
4834 | 4845 | * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened. |
|
4835 | 4846 | |
|
4836 | 4847 | * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is |
|
4837 | 4848 | hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of |
|
4838 | 4849 | entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is |
|
4839 | 4850 | much better, since many statements won't increase the cache |
|
4840 | 4851 | count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only |
|
4841 | 4852 | one: cache_size. |
|
4842 | 4853 | |
|
4843 | 4854 | * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the |
|
4844 | 4855 | ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he |
|
4845 | 4856 | wants for the magic functions without having to play weird |
|
4846 | 4857 | namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel. |
|
4847 | 4858 | |
|
4848 | 4859 | * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit |
|
4849 | 4860 | @ or not). |
|
4850 | 4861 | |
|
4851 | 4862 | This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know |
|
4852 | 4863 | of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works |
|
4853 | 4864 | 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first |
|
4854 | 4865 | about licensing). |
|
4855 | 4866 | |
|
4856 | 4867 | 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4857 | 4868 | |
|
4858 | 4869 | * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and |
|
4859 | 4870 | there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show. |
|
4860 | 4871 | |
|
4861 | 4872 | * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own |
|
4862 | 4873 | screen size for page() operations. |
|
4863 | 4874 | |
|
4864 | 4875 | * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code |
|
4865 | 4876 | generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding |
|
4866 | 4877 | an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at |
|
4867 | 4878 | run-time. Python has some really cool features! |
|
4868 | 4879 | |
|
4869 | 4880 | * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all |
|
4870 | 4881 | are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code |
|
4871 | 4882 | option name tables are clearer. |
|
4872 | 4883 | |
|
4873 | 4884 | * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of |
|
4874 | 4885 | 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the |
|
4875 | 4886 | Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in |
|
4876 | 4887 | Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt |
|
4877 | 4888 | was also changed a little to align better. |
|
4878 | 4889 | |
|
4879 | 4890 | * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables |
|
4880 | 4891 | exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try: |
|
4881 | 4892 | |
|
4882 | 4893 | * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it |
|
4883 | 4894 | requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from |
|
4884 | 4895 | _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that. |
|
4885 | 4896 | |
|
4886 | 4897 | * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names |
|
4887 | 4898 | as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available, |
|
4888 | 4899 | but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if |
|
4889 | 4900 | he needs it. |
|
4890 | 4901 | |
|
4891 | 4902 | * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo. |
|
4892 | 4903 | |
|
4893 | 4904 | * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a |
|
4894 | 4905 | state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta' |
|
4895 | 4906 | warning on it. |
|
4896 | 4907 | |
|
4897 | 4908 | * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined |
|
4898 | 4909 | in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now |
|
4899 | 4910 | Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it |
|
4900 | 4911 | was too long). |
|
4901 | 4912 | |
|
4902 | 4913 | * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with |
|
4903 | 4914 | the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does |
|
4904 | 4915 | exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience. |
|
4905 | 4916 | |
|
4906 | 4917 | Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so |
|
4907 | 4918 | destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation). |
|
4908 | 4919 | But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the |
|
4909 | 4920 | del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific |
|
4910 | 4921 | variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic |
|
4911 | 4922 | function for the same task. |
|
4912 | 4923 | |
|
4913 | 4924 | 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4914 | 4925 | |
|
4915 | 4926 | * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones). |
|
4916 | 4927 | |
|
4917 | 4928 | * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with |
|
4918 | 4929 | it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of |
|
4919 | 4930 | substance (just a few modules being imported and not used). |
|
4920 | 4931 | |
|
4921 | 4932 | * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New |
|
4922 | 4933 | option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects |
|
4923 | 4934 | between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality. |
|
4924 | 4935 | |
|
4925 | 4936 | * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of |
|
4926 | 4937 | mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's |
|
4927 | 4938 | possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring. |
|
4928 | 4939 | |
|
4929 | 4940 | 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4930 | 4941 | |
|
4931 | 4942 | * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened. |
|
4932 | 4943 | |
|
4933 | 4944 | * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by |
|
4934 | 4945 | user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If |
|
4935 | 4946 | someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code. |
|
4936 | 4947 | |
|
4937 | 4948 | * Made prompt separators configurable. |
|
4938 | 4949 | |
|
4939 | 4950 | 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4940 | 4951 | |
|
4941 | 4952 | * Small bugfixes in many places. |
|
4942 | 4953 | |
|
4943 | 4954 | * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant |
|
4944 | 4955 | with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to |
|
4945 | 4956 | maintain. |
|
4946 | 4957 | |
|
4947 | 4958 | * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right |
|
4948 | 4959 | now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so |
|
4949 | 4960 | no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the |
|
4950 | 4961 | wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets |
|
4951 | 4962 | compiled and startup is much faster. |
|
4952 | 4963 | |
|
4953 | 4964 | This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a |
|
4954 | 4965 | while without messing too much more with the code. |
|
4955 | 4966 | |
|
4956 | 4967 | 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4957 | 4968 | |
|
4958 | 4969 | * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work. |
|
4959 | 4970 | |
|
4960 | 4971 | * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It |
|
4961 | 4972 | would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life |
|
4962 | 4973 | *a lot* easier in some cases. |
|
4963 | 4974 | |
|
4964 | 4975 | * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are |
|
4965 | 4976 | expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string). |
|
4966 | 4977 | |
|
4967 | 4978 | * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now |
|
4968 | 4979 | obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints |
|
4969 | 4980 | docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help' |
|
4970 | 4981 | keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does |
|
4971 | 4982 | the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as |
|
4972 | 4983 | well use it and remove duplicate functionality. |
|
4973 | 4984 | |
|
4974 | 4985 | Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By |
|
4975 | 4986 | now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone. |
|
4976 | 4987 | |
|
4977 | 4988 | * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was |
|
4978 | 4989 | exited immediately after opening (broken pipe). |
|
4979 | 4990 | |
|
4980 | 4991 | * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is |
|
4981 | 4992 | much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end |
|
4982 | 4993 | have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit |
|
4983 | 4994 | excessive. |
|
4984 | 4995 | |
|
4985 | 4996 | * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word |
|
4986 | 4997 | types (only first word was displayed). |
|
4987 | 4998 | |
|
4988 | 4999 | 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
4989 | 5000 | |
|
4990 | 5001 | * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work. |
|
4991 | 5002 | |
|
4992 | 5003 | * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not |
|
4993 | 5004 | prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to |
|
4994 | 5005 | travel along many directories. |
|
4995 | 5006 | |
|
4996 | 5007 | * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with |
|
4997 | 5008 | arguments with default values. |
|
4998 | 5009 | |
|
4999 | 5010 | 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5000 | 5011 | |
|
5001 | 5012 | * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an |
|
5002 | 5013 | example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups. |
|
5003 | 5014 | |
|
5004 | 5015 | * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work. |
|
5005 | 5016 | |
|
5006 | 5017 | * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the |
|
5007 | 5018 | execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the |
|
5008 | 5019 | user's IPYTHONDIR only. |
|
5009 | 5020 | |
|
5010 | 5021 | 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5011 | 5022 | |
|
5012 | 5023 | * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had |
|
5013 | 5024 | initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the |
|
5014 | 5025 | pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string, |
|
5015 | 5026 | and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter |
|
5016 | 5027 | from the outside and implement extensions for special |
|
5017 | 5028 | purposes. |
|
5018 | 5029 | |
|
5019 | 5030 | Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects |
|
5020 | 5031 | (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at |
|
5021 | 5032 | all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level |
|
5022 | 5033 | extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of: |
|
5023 | 5034 | a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2') |
|
5024 | 5035 | one can simply say |
|
5025 | 5036 | a = 4.2 m/s**2 |
|
5026 | 5037 | or even |
|
5027 | 5038 | a = 4.2 m/s^2 |
|
5028 | 5039 | |
|
5029 | 5040 | I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is |
|
5030 | 5041 | fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the |
|
5031 | 5042 | command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable. |
|
5032 | 5043 | |
|
5033 | 5044 | * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes |
|
5034 | 5045 | the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which |
|
5035 | 5046 | they were defined in |
|
5036 | 5047 | |
|
5037 | 5048 | * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work. |
|
5038 | 5049 | |
|
5039 | 5050 | * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the |
|
5040 | 5051 | definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python |
|
5041 | 5052 | file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses |
|
5042 | 5053 | these to show the same information. |
|
5043 | 5054 | |
|
5044 | 5055 | * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work. |
|
5045 | 5056 | |
|
5046 | 5057 | * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The |
|
5047 | 5058 | InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle |
|
5048 | 5059 | (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it |
|
5049 | 5060 | backtracked on the whole class!) |
|
5050 | 5061 | |
|
5051 | 5062 | FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are |
|
5052 | 5063 | all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least |
|
5053 | 5064 | everything works as before). |
|
5054 | 5065 | |
|
5055 | 5066 | * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I |
|
5056 | 5067 | think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can |
|
5057 | 5068 | test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what |
|
5058 | 5069 | I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired. |
|
5059 | 5070 | |
|
5060 | 5071 | 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5061 | 5072 | |
|
5062 | 5073 | * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work. |
|
5063 | 5074 | |
|
5064 | 5075 | * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before |
|
5065 | 5076 | printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None. |
|
5066 | 5077 | |
|
5067 | 5078 | * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c |
|
5068 | 5079 | they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it |
|
5069 | 5080 | reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do |
|
5070 | 5081 | this later. |
|
5071 | 5082 | |
|
5072 | 5083 | * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments. |
|
5073 | 5084 | |
|
5074 | 5085 | * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't |
|
5075 | 5086 | collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command |
|
5076 | 5087 | line option. |
|
5077 | 5088 | |
|
5078 | 5089 | * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like |
|
5079 | 5090 | Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result |
|
5080 | 5091 | raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing |
|
5081 | 5092 | (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation |
|
5082 | 5093 | didn't return a result). |
|
5083 | 5094 | |
|
5084 | 5095 | * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham). |
|
5085 | 5096 | |
|
5086 | 5097 | * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore). |
|
5087 | 5098 | |
|
5088 | 5099 | * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are |
|
5089 | 5100 | currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For |
|
5090 | 5101 | developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the |
|
5091 | 5102 | beginning of the CachedOutput class def. |
|
5092 | 5103 | |
|
5093 | 5104 | 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5094 | 5105 | |
|
5095 | 5106 | * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work. |
|
5096 | 5107 | |
|
5097 | 5108 | * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to |
|
5098 | 5109 | print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed. |
|
5099 | 5110 | |
|
5100 | 5111 | * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive |
|
5101 | 5112 | exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose |
|
5102 | 5113 | traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is |
|
5103 | 5114 | probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties |
|
5104 | 5115 | in with the next entry: |
|
5105 | 5116 | |
|
5106 | 5117 | * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user |
|
5107 | 5118 | has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception |
|
5108 | 5119 | handling. |
|
5109 | 5120 | |
|
5110 | 5121 | * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via |
|
5111 | 5122 | the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic |
|
5112 | 5123 | namespace protection and documentation. |
|
5113 | 5124 | |
|
5114 | 5125 | 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5115 | 5126 | |
|
5116 | 5127 | * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to |
|
5117 | 5128 | __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker). |
|
5118 | 5129 | |
|
5119 | 5130 | * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing. |
|
5120 | 5131 | |
|
5121 | 5132 | 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5122 | 5133 | |
|
5123 | 5134 | * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug. |
|
5124 | 5135 | |
|
5125 | 5136 | * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed |
|
5126 | 5137 | and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could |
|
5127 | 5138 | actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again |
|
5128 | 5139 | once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster |
|
5129 | 5140 | in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!). |
|
5130 | 5141 | |
|
5131 | 5142 | * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which |
|
5132 | 5143 | after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves |
|
5133 | 5144 | a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit. |
|
5134 | 5145 | |
|
5135 | 5146 | * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file. |
|
5136 | 5147 | |
|
5137 | 5148 | * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should |
|
5138 | 5149 | work with non-gnu versions of tar. |
|
5139 | 5150 | |
|
5140 | 5151 | 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5141 | 5152 | |
|
5142 | 5153 | * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes. |
|
5143 | 5154 | |
|
5144 | 5155 | * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if |
|
5145 | 5156 | arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a |
|
5146 | 5157 | special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to |
|
5147 | 5158 | None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from |
|
5148 | 5159 | ScientificPython. |
|
5149 | 5160 | |
|
5150 | 5161 | 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5151 | 5162 | |
|
5152 | 5163 | * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions |
|
5153 | 5164 | basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home |
|
5154 | 5165 | when called with no args. |
|
5155 | 5166 | |
|
5156 | 5167 | * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more |
|
5157 | 5168 | closely. |
|
5158 | 5169 | |
|
5159 | 5170 | * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I |
|
5160 | 5171 | think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from |
|
5161 | 5172 | ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This |
|
5162 | 5173 | will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality |
|
5163 | 5174 | (shell-type or otherwise) to IP. |
|
5164 | 5175 | |
|
5165 | 5176 | 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5166 | 5177 | |
|
5167 | 5178 | * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep |
|
5168 | 5179 | customizations there and access them via import. |
|
5169 | 5180 | |
|
5170 | 5181 | 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5171 | 5182 | |
|
5172 | 5183 | * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes. |
|
5173 | 5184 | |
|
5174 | 5185 | * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to |
|
5175 | 5186 | Nathan and Janko. |
|
5176 | 5187 | |
|
5177 | 5188 | * Lots of small fixes and tweaks. |
|
5178 | 5189 | |
|
5179 | 5190 | * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if |
|
5180 | 5191 | too long. |
|
5181 | 5192 | |
|
5182 | 5193 | * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who |
|
5183 | 5194 | |
|
5184 | 5195 | * Help also works with ? at the end of a line: |
|
5185 | 5196 | ?sin and sin? |
|
5186 | 5197 | both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the |
|
5187 | 5198 | tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have |
|
5188 | 5199 | to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more |
|
5189 | 5200 | info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient. |
|
5190 | 5201 | |
|
5191 | 5202 | 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu> |
|
5192 | 5203 | |
|
5193 | 5204 | * Python version check (>=2.1) added. |
|
5194 | 5205 | |
|
5195 | 5206 | * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite |
|
5196 | 5207 | a mess. A cleanup is in order. |
|
5197 | 5208 | |
|
5198 | 5209 | * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles |
|
5199 | 5210 | module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version |
|
5200 | 5211 | (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill |
|
5201 | 5212 | me). |
|
5202 | 5213 | |
|
5203 | 5214 | * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are |
|
5204 | 5215 | protected (reasonably). |
|
5205 | 5216 | |
|
5206 | 5217 | * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage |
|
5207 | 5218 | note through it (it was too long). |
|
5208 | 5219 | |
|
5209 | 5220 | * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the |
|
5210 | 5221 | auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But |
|
5211 | 5222 | both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line |
|
5212 | 5223 | parameters. |

|
5216 | 5227 | |
|
5217 | 5228 | * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now |
|
5218 | 5229 | is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all |
|
5219 | 5230 | config files have normal looking names (not .names) |
|
5220 | 5231 | |
|
5221 | 5232 | * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test |
|
5222 | 5233 | run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to |
|
5223 | 5234 | > 0.0.6 for any changes now. |
|
5224 | 5235 | |
|
5225 | 5236 | * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog: |
|
5226 | 5237 | |
|
5227 | 5238 | Changes to InteractiveShell: |
|
5228 | 5239 | |
|
5229 | 5240 | - Made the usage message a parameter. |
|
5230 | 5241 | |
|
5231 | 5242 | - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit |
|
5232 | 5243 | of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwire in the |
|
5233 | 5244 | magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires |
|
5234 | 5245 | polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is |
|
5235 | 5246 | fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things |
|
5236 | 5247 | break. |
|
5237 | 5248 | |
|
5238 | 5249 | - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined |
|
5239 | 5250 | as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as |
|
5240 | 5251 | @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather |
|
5241 | 5252 | information automatically about all existing magic functions, |
|
5242 | 5253 | even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell |
|
5243 | 5254 | instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names. |
|
5244 | 5255 | |
|
5245 | 5256 | - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows |
|
5246 | 5257 | the class to differentiate between parameters which were there |
|
5247 | 5258 | before and after command line initialization was processed. This |
|
5248 | 5259 | way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the |
|
5249 | 5260 | user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading |
|
5250 | 5261 | really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session, |
|
5251 | 5262 | *everythin* should look the same, including the output of @who. I |
|
5252 | 5263 | was only able to make this work with this double namespace |
|
5253 | 5264 | trick. |
|
5254 | 5265 | |
|
5255 | 5266 | - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full |
|
5256 | 5267 | session restoring. |
|
5257 | 5268 | |
|
5258 | 5269 | - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log |
|
5259 | 5270 | them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines: |
|
5260 | 5271 | they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at |
|
5261 | 5272 | least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get |
|
5262 | 5273 | them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned. |
|
5263 | 5274 | |
|
5264 | 5275 | * Started ChangeLog. |

12 | 12 | ;;; Commentary |
|
13 | 13 | ;; This library makes all the functionality python-mode has when running with |
|
14 | 14 | ;; the normal python-interpreter available for ipython, too. It also enables a |
|
15 | 15 | ;; persistent py-shell command history accross sessions (if you exit python |
|
16 | 16 | ;; with C-d in py-shell) and defines the command `ipython-to-doctest', which |
|
17 | 17 | ;; can be used to convert bits of a ipython session into something that can be |
|
18 | 18 | ;; used for doctests. To install, put this file somewhere in your emacs |
|
19 | 19 | ;; `load-path' [1] and add the following line to your ~/.emacs file (the first |
|
20 | 20 | ;; line only needed if the default (``"ipython"``) is wrong):: |
|
21 | 21 | ;; |
|
22 | 22 | ;; (setq ipython-command "/SOME-PATH/ipython") |
|
23 | 23 | ;; (require 'ipython) |
|
24 | 24 | ;; |
|
25 | 25 | ;; Ipython will be set as the default python shell, but only if the ipython |
|
26 | 26 | ;; executable is in the path. For ipython sessions autocompletion with <tab> |
|
27 | 27 | ;; is also enabled (experimental feature!). Please also note that all the |
|
28 | 28 | ;; terminal functions in py-shell are handled by emacs's comint, **not** by |
|
29 | 29 | ;; (i)python, so importing readline etc. will have 0 effect. |
|
30 | 30 | ;; |
|
31 | 31 | ;; To start an interactive ipython session run `py-shell' with ``M-x py-shell`` |
|
32 | 32 | ;; (or the default keybinding ``C-c C-!``). |
|
33 | 33 | ;; |
|
34 | 34 | ;; NOTE: This mode is currently somewhat alpha and although I hope that it |
|
35 | 35 | ;; will work fine for most cases, doing certain things (like the |
|
36 | 36 | ;; autocompletion and a decent scheme to switch between python interpreters) |
|
37 | 37 | ;; properly will also require changes to ipython that will likely have to wait |
|
38 | 38 | ;; for a larger rewrite scheduled some time in the future. |
|
39 | 39 | ;; |
|
40 | 40 | ;; Also note that you currently NEED THE CVS VERSION OF PYTHON.EL. |
|
41 | 41 | ;; |
|
42 | 42 | ;; Further note that I don't know whether this runs under windows or not and |
|
43 | 43 | ;; that if it doesn't I can't really help much, not being afflicted myself. |
|
44 | 44 | ;; |
|
45 | 45 | ;; |
|
46 | 46 | ;; Hints for effective usage |
|
47 | 47 | ;; ------------------------- |
|
48 | 48 | ;; |
|
49 | 49 | ;; - IMO the best feature by far of the ipython/emacs combo is how much easier it |
|
50 | 50 | ;; makes it to find and fix bugs thanks to the ``@pdb on``/ pdbtrack combo. Try |
|
51 | 51 | ;; it: first in the ipython to shell do ``@pdb on`` then do something that will |
|
52 | 52 | ;; raise an exception (FIXME nice example) -- and be amazed how easy it is to |
|
53 | 53 | ;; inspect the live objects in each stack frames and to jump to the |
|
54 | 54 | ;; corresponding sourcecode locations as you walk up and down the stack trace |
|
55 | 55 | ;; (even without ``%pdb on`` you can always use ``C-c -`` (`py-up-exception') |
|
56 | 56 | ;; to jump to the corresponding source code locations). |
|
57 | 57 | ;; |
|
58 | 58 | ;; - emacs gives you much more powerful commandline editing and output searching |
|
59 | 59 | ;; capabilities than ipython-standalone -- isearch is your friend if you |
|
60 | 60 | ;; quickly want to print 'DEBUG ...' to stdout out etc. |
|
61 | 61 | ;; |
|
62 | 62 | ;; - This is not really specific to ipython, but for more convenient history |
|
63 | 63 | ;; access you might want to add something like the following to *the beggining* |
|
64 | 64 | ;; of your ``.emacs`` (if you want behavior that's more similar to stand-alone |
|
65 | 65 | ;; ipython, you can change ``meta p`` etc. for ``control p``):: |
|
66 | 66 | ;; |
|
67 | 67 | ;; (require 'comint) |
|
68 | 68 | ;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(meta p)] |
|
69 | 69 | ;; 'comint-previous-matching-input-from-input) |
|
70 | 70 | ;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(meta n)] |
|
71 | 71 | ;; 'comint-next-matching-input-from-input) |
|
72 | 72 | ;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(control meta n)] |
|
73 | 73 | ;; 'comint-next-input) |
|
74 | 74 | ;; (define-key comint-mode-map [(control meta p)] |
|
75 | 75 | ;; 'comint-previous-input) |
|
76 | 76 | ;; |
|
77 | 77 | ;; - Be aware that if you customize py-python-command previously, this value |
|
78 | 78 | ;; will override what ipython.el does (because loading the customization |
|
79 | 79 | ;; variables comes later). |
|
80 | 80 | ;; |
|
81 | 81 | ;; Please send comments and feedback to the ipython-list |
|
82 | 82 | ;; (<ipython-user@scipy.net>) where I (a.s.) or someone else will try to |
|
83 | 83 | ;; answer them (it helps if you specify your emacs version, OS etc; |
|
84 | 84 | ;; familiarity with <http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html> might |
|
85 | 85 | ;; speed up things further). |
|
86 | 86 | ;; |
|
87 | 87 | ;; Footnotes: |
|
88 | 88 | ;; |
|
89 | 89 | ;; [1] If you don't know what `load-path' is, C-h v load-path will tell |
|
90 | 90 | ;; you; if required you can also add a new directory. So assuming that |
|
91 | 91 | ;; ipython.el resides in ~/el/, put this in your emacs: |
|
92 | 92 | ;; |

148 | 148 | \layout Standard |
|
149 | 149 | |
|
150 | 150 | One of Python's most useful features is its interactive interpreter. |
|
151 | 151 | This system allows very fast testing of ideas without the overhead of creating |
|
152 | 152 | test files as is typical in most programming languages. |
|
153 | 153 | However, the interpreter supplied with the standard Python distribution |
|
154 | 154 | is somewhat limited for extended interactive use. |
|
155 | 155 | \layout Standard |

|
157 | 157 | IPython is a free software project (released under the BSD license) which |
|
158 | 158 | tries to: |
|
159 | 159 | \layout Enumerate |
|
160 | 160 | |
|
161 | 161 | Provide an interactive shell superior to Python's default. |
|
162 | 162 | IPython has many features for object introspection, system shell access, |
|
163 | 163 | and its own special command system for adding functionality when working |
|
164 | 164 | interactively. |
|
165 | 165 | It tries to be a very efficient environment both for Python code development |
|
166 | 166 | and for exploration of problems using Python objects (in situations like |
|
167 | 167 | data analysis). |
|
168 | 168 | \layout Enumerate |
|
169 | 169 | |
|
170 | 170 | Serve as an embeddable, ready to use interpreter for your own programs. |
|
171 | 171 | IPython can be started with a single call from inside another program, |
|
172 | 172 | providing access to the current namespace. |
|
173 | 173 | This can be very useful both for debugging purposes and for situations |
|
174 | 174 | where a blend of batch-processing and interactive exploration are needed. |
|
175 | 175 | \layout Enumerate |
|
176 | 176 | |
|
177 | 177 | Offer a flexible framework which can be used as the base environment for |
|
178 | 178 | other systems with Python as the underlying language. |
|
179 | 179 | Specifically scientific environments like Mathematica, IDL and Matlab inspired |
|
180 | 180 | its design, but similar ideas can be useful in many fields. |
|
181 | 181 | \layout Enumerate |
|
182 | 182 | |
|
183 | 183 | Allow interactive testing of threaded graphical toolkits. |
|
184 | 184 | IPython has support for interactive, non-blocking control of GTK, Qt and |
|
185 | 185 | WX applications via special threading flags. |
|
186 | 186 | The normal Python shell can only do this for Tkinter applications. |

193 | 193 | One can access docstrings, function definition prototypes, source code, |

815 | 815 | supported by Python) to interactive control of WX, Qt and GTK apps. |
|
816 | 816 | Under OSX, however, this requires that ipython is installed by calling |

1011 | 1011 | These, by default, are only available under Unix-like operating systems. |
|
1012 | 1012 | However, thanks to Gary Bishop's work, Windows XP/2k users can also benefit |
|
1013 | 1013 | from them. |
|
1014 | 1014 | His readline library implements both GNU readline functionality and color |

1015 | 1015 | support, so that IPython under Windows XP/2k can be as friendly and powerful |

|
1077 | 1077 | This is a broken library which, while called readline, only implements |
|
1078 | 1078 | an incomplete subset of the readline API. |
|
1079 | 1079 | Since it is still called readline, it fools IPython's detection mechanisms |
|
1080 | 1080 | and causes unpredictable crashes later. |
|
1081 | 1081 | If you wish to use IPython under Windows, you must NOT use this library, |
|
1082 | 1082 | which for all purposes is (at least as of version 1.6) terminally broken. |

2502 | 2512 | Thanks to IPython's output caching mechanism, this is automatically stored: |

|
2544 | 2554 | This means that if you make changes and you later want to find an old version, |
|
2545 | 2555 | you can always retrieve it by using its output number, via |

2657 | 2667 | |
|
2658 | 2668 | You start IPython with the command: |

|
2660 | 2670 | |
|
2661 | 2671 | |

|
2664 | 2674 | \layout Standard |
|
2665 | 2675 | |
|
2666 | 2676 | If invoked with no options, it executes all the files listed in sequence |
|
2667 | 2677 | and drops you into the interpreter while still acknowledging any options |
|
2668 | 2678 | you may have set in your ipythonrc file. |
|
2669 | 2679 | This behavior is different from standard Python, which when called as |

|
2671 | 2681 | python -i |
|
2672 | 2682 | \family default |

|
2676 | 2686 | Please note that some of the configuration options are not available at |
|

3815 | 3825 | Other than the above warning, IPython is meant to work as a drop-in replacement |

3816 | 3826 | for the standard interactive interpreter. |
|
3817 | 3827 | As such, any code which is valid python should execute normally under IPython |
|
3818 | 3828 | (cases where this is not true should be reported as bugs). |

3819 | 3829 | It does, however, offer many features which are not available at a standard |

4472 | 4482 | IPython doesn't read this file (if it exists) directly, but it does support |

5403 | 5413 | |
|
5404 | 5414 | You can force automatic parentheses by using '/' as the first character |
|
5405 | 5415 | of a line. |
|
5406 | 5416 | For example: |
|
5407 | 5417 | \layout Standard |
|
5408 | 5418 | |
|
5409 | 5419 | |
|
5410 | 5420 | \family typewriter |

|
5412 | 5422 | \layout Standard |
|
5413 | 5423 | |
|
5414 | 5424 | Note that the '/' MUST be the first character on the line! This won't work: |
|
5415 | 5425 | |
|
5416 | 5426 | \layout Standard |
|
5417 | 5427 | |

5420 | 5430 | >>> print /globals # syntax error |
|
5421 | 5431 | \layout Standard |
|
5422 | 5432 | |
|
5423 | 5433 | In most cases the automatic algorithm should work, so you should rarely |
|
5424 | 5434 | need to explicitly invoke /. |
|
5425 | 5435 | One notable exception is if you are trying to call a function with a list |
|
5426 | 5436 | of tuples as arguments (the parenthesis will confuse IPython): |
|
5427 | 5437 | \layout Standard |

5434 | 5444 | but this will work: |

5527 | 5537 | As we've already mentioned, IPython reads a configuration file which can |

5528 | 5538 | be specified at the command line ( |

5529 | 5539 | \family typewriter |

5530 | 5540 | -rcfile |

5531 | 5541 | \family default |

|
5534 | 5544 | ipythonrc |
|
5535 | 5545 | \family default |

5536 | 5546 | . |
|
5537 | 5547 | Such a file is looked for in the current directory where IPython is started |
|
5538 | 5548 | and then in your |

|
5540 | 5550 | IPYTHONDIR |
|
5541 | 5551 | \family default |
|
5542 | 5552 | , which allows you to have local configuration files for specific projects. |
|
5543 | 5553 | In this section we will call these types of configuration files simply |
|
5544 | 5554 | rcfiles (short for resource configuration file). |
|
5545 | 5555 | \layout Standard |
|
5546 | 5556 | |
|
5547 | 5557 | The syntax of an rcfile is one of key-value pairs separated by whitespace, |
|
5548 | 5558 | one per line. |
|
5549 | 5559 | Lines beginning with a |

5557 | 5567 | be put on lines with data (the parser is fairly primitive). |
|
5558 | 5568 | Note that these are not python files, and this is deliberate, because it |
|
5559 | 5569 | allows us to do some things which would be quite tricky to implement if |
|

5562 | 5572 | |

5563 | 5573 | First, an rcfile can contain permanent default values for almost all command |

5612 | 5622 | This feature allows you to define a 'base' rcfile with general options |

5746 | 5756 | IPython isn't meant to be a shell replacement, but it is often very useful |

5747 | 5757 | to be able to do things with files while testing code. |
|
5748 | 5758 | This gives you the flexibility to have within IPython any aliases you may |

5941 | 5951 | The prompt strings are evaluated through the syntax of PEP 215, but basically |

5948 | 5958 | x.y |
|
5949 | 5959 | \family default |
|
5950 | 5960 | , and for more complicated expressions you can use braces: |
|
5951 | 5961 | \family typewriter |
|
5952 | 5962 | ${foo()+x} |
|
5953 | 5963 | \family default |

6275 | 6285 | This system allows you to maintain multiple configurations which load modules, |

6277 | 6287 | suitable for different tasks and activate them in a very simple manner. |
|
6278 | 6288 | In order to avoid having to repeat all of your basic options (common things |
|
6279 | 6289 | that don't change such as your color preferences, for example), any profile |
|
6280 | 6290 | can include another configuration file. |
|
6281 | 6291 | The most common way to use profiles is then to have each one include your |

6425 | 6435 | Opening an IPython instance will give you full access to your data and |
|
6426 | 6436 | functions, and you can resume program execution once you are done with |
|
6427 | 6437 | the interactive part (perhaps to stop again later, as many times as needed). |

|
6430 | 6440 | The following code snippet is the bare minimum you need to include in your |
|
6431 | 6441 | Python programs for this to work (detailed examples follow later): |
|
6432 | 6442 | \layout LyX-Code |

6433 | 6443 | |
|
6434 | 6444 | from IPython.Shell import IPShellEmbed |

6442 | 6452 | |
|
6443 | 6453 | You can run embedded instances even in code which is itself being run at |
|
6444 | 6454 | the IPython interactive prompt with ' |

|
6450 | 6460 | Since it's easy to get lost as to where you are (in your top-level IPython |
|
6451 | 6461 | or in your embedded one), it's a good idea in such cases to set the in/out |
|
6452 | 6462 | prompts to something different for the embedded instances. |
|
6453 | 6463 | The code examples below illustrate this. |
|
6454 | 6464 | \layout Standard |
|
6455 | 6465 | |
|
6456 | 6466 | You can also have multiple IPython instances in your program and open them |
|
6457 | 6467 | separately, for example with different options for data presentation. |
|
6458 | 6468 | If you close and open the same instance multiple times, its prompt counters |
|
6459 | 6469 | simply continue from each execution to the next. |

6765 | 6775 | In the python tutorial it is common to find code examples which have been |
|
6766 | 6776 | taken from real python sessions. |
|
6767 | 6777 | The problem with those is that all the lines begin with either |
|
6768 | 6778 | \family typewriter |
|
6769 | 6779 | `>>> |
|
6770 | 6780 | \family default |
|
6771 | 6781 | ' or |
|
6772 | 6782 | \family typewriter |
|
6773 | 6783 | `... |
|
6774 | 6784 | |
|
6775 | 6785 | \family default |
|
6776 | 6786 | ', which makes it impossible to paste them all at once. |
|
6777 | 6787 | One must instead do a line by line manual copying, carefully removing the |
|
6778 | 6788 | leading extraneous characters. |

6780 | 6790 | |
|
6781 | 6791 | This extension identifies those starting characters and removes them from |
|
6782 | 6792 | the input automatically, so that one can paste multi-line examples directly |
|
6783 | 6793 | into IPython, saving a lot of time. |

|
8071 | 8081 | This switching of threads can cause subtly confusing effects if one of |

8072 | 8082 | your threads is doing file I/O. |

8099 | 8109 | actually consists of several bytecodes, so it is possible that the newline |
|
8100 | 8110 | does not reach your file before the next thread switch. |
|
8101 | 8111 | Similarly, if you are writing to a file in binary mode, the file won't |
|
8102 | 8112 | be flushed until the buffer fills, and your other thread may see apparently |

8103 | 8113 | truncated files. |

8107 | 8117 | For this reason, if you are using IPython's thread support and have (for |
|
8108 | 8118 | example) a GUI application which will read data generated by files written |
|
8109 | 8119 | to from the IPython thread, the safest approach is to open all of your |
|
8110 | 8120 | files in unbuffered mode (the third argument to the |
|
8111 | 8121 | \family typewriter |
|
8112 | 8122 | file/open |

8122 | 8132 | |
|
8123 | 8133 | This is obviously a brute force way of avoiding race conditions with the |
|
8124 | 8134 | file buffering. |
|
8125 | 8135 | If you want to do it cleanly, and you have a resource which is being shared |
|
8126 | 8136 | by the interactive IPython loop and your GUI thread, you should really |
|
8127 | 8137 | handle it with thread locking and syncrhonization properties. |

8139 | 8149 | IPython ships with a basic system for running scripts interactively in sections, |

|
8141 | 8151 | A few tags embedded in comments (so that the script remains valid Python |
|
8142 | 8152 | code) divide a file into separate blocks, and the demo can be run one block |
|
8143 | 8153 | at a time, with IPython printing (with syntax highlighting) the block before |
|
8144 | 8154 | executing it, and returning to the interactive prompt after each block. |
|
8145 | 8155 | The interactive namespace is updated after each block is run with the contents |

8146 | 8156 | of the demo's namespace. |

8726 | 8736 | Very well organized, great usability. |
|
8727 | 8737 | Had an old help system. |
|
8728 | 8738 | IPP was used as the `container' code into which I added the functionality |
|
8729 | 8739 | from ipython and LazyPython. |

|
8749 | 8759 | ) about IPP and LazyPython I tried to join all three into a unified system. |
|
8750 | 8760 | I thought this could provide a very nice working environment, both for |
|
8751 | 8761 | regular programming and scientific computing: shell-like features, IDL/Matlab |
|
8752 | 8762 | numerics, Mathematica-type prompt history and great object introspection |
|
8753 | 8763 | and help facilities. |
|
8754 | 8764 | I think it worked reasonably well, though it was a lot more work than I |
|
8755 | 8765 | had initially planned. |

8760 | 8770 | |
|
8761 | 8771 | The above listed features work, and quite well for the most part. |
|
8762 | 8772 | But until a major internal restructuring is done (see below), only bug |
|
8763 | 8773 | fixing will be done, no other features will be added (unless very minor |
|
8764 | 8774 | and well localized in the cleaner parts of the code). |

|
8767 | 8777 | IPython consists of some 18000 lines of pure python code, of which roughly |
|
8768 | 8778 | two thirds is reasonably clean. |
|
8769 | 8779 | The rest is, messy code which needs a massive restructuring before any |
|
8770 | 8780 | further major work is done. |
|
8771 | 8781 | Even the messy code is fairly well documented though, and most of the problems |
|
8772 | 8782 | in the (non-existent) class design are well pointed to by a PyChecker run. |
|
8773 | 8783 | So the rewriting work isn't that bad, it will just be time-consuming. |
