 """
 Sphinx directive to support embedded IPython code.
 
 This directive allows pasting of entire interactive IPython sessions, prompts
 and all, and their code will actually get re-executed at doc build time, with
 all prompts renumbered sequentially. It also allows you to input code as a pure
 python input by giving the argument python to the directive. The output looks
 like an interactive ipython section.
 
 To enable this directive, simply list it in your Sphinx ``conf.py`` file
 (making sure the directory where you placed it is visible to sphinx, as is
 needed for all Sphinx directives). For example, to enable syntax highlighting
 and the IPython directive::
 
     extensions = ['IPython.sphinxext.ipython_console_highlighting',
                   'IPython.sphinxext.ipython_directive']
 
 The IPython directive outputs code-blocks with the language 'ipython'. So
 if you do not have the syntax highlighting extension enabled as well, then
 all rendered code-blocks will be uncolored. By default this directive assumes
 that your prompts are unchanged IPython ones, but this can be customized.
 The configurable options that can be placed in conf.py are:
 
 ipython_savefig_dir:
     The directory in which to save the figures. This is relative to the
     Sphinx source directory. The default is `html_static_path`.
 ipython_rgxin:
     The compiled regular expression to denote the start of IPython input
     lines. The default is re.compile('In \[(\d+)\]:\s?(.*)\s*'). You
     shouldn't need to change this.
 ipython_rgxout:
     The compiled regular expression to denote the start of IPython output
     lines. The default is re.compile('Out\[(\d+)\]:\s?(.*)\s*'). You
     shouldn't need to change this.
 ipython_promptin:
     The string to represent the IPython input prompt in the generated ReST.
     The default is 'In [%d]:'. This expects that the line numbers are used
     in the prompt.
 ipython_promptout:
     The string to represent the IPython prompt in the generated ReST. The
     default is 'Out [%d]:'. This expects that the line numbers are used
     in the prompt.
 ipython_mplbackend:
     The string which specifies if the embedded Sphinx shell should import
     Matplotlib and set the backend. The value specifies a backend that is
     passed to `matplotlib.use()` before any lines in `ipython_execlines` are
     executed. If not specified in conf.py, then the default value of 'agg' is
     used. To use the IPython directive without matplotlib as a dependency, set
     the value to `None`. It may end up that matplotlib is still imported
     if the user specifies so in `ipython_execlines` or makes use of the
     @savefig pseudo decorator.
 ipython_execlines:
     A list of strings to be exec'd in the embedded Sphinx shell. Typical
     usage is to make certain packages always available. Set this to an empty
     list if you wish to have no imports always available. If specified in
     conf.py as `None`, then it has the effect of making no imports available.
     If omitted from conf.py altogether, then the default value of
     ['import numpy as np', 'import matplotlib.pyplot as plt'] is used.
 ipython_holdcount
     When the @suppress pseudo-decorator is used, the execution count can be
     incremented or not. The default behavior is to hold the execution count,
     corresponding to a value of `True`. Set this to `False` to increment
     the execution count after each suppressed command.
 
 As an example, to use the IPython directive when `matplotlib` is not available,
 one sets the backend to `None`::
 
     ipython_mplbackend = None
 
 An example usage of the directive is:
 
 .. code-block:: rst
 
     .. ipython::
 
         In [1]: x = 1
 
         In [2]: y = x**2
 
         In [3]: print(y)
 
 See http://matplotlib.org/sampledoc/ipython_directive.html for additional
 documentation.
 
 Pseudo-Decorators
 =================
 
 Note: Only one decorator is supported per input. If more than one decorator
 is specified, then only the last one is used.
 
 In addition to the Pseudo-Decorators/options described at the above link,
 several enhancements have been made. The directive will emit a message to the
 console at build-time if code-execution resulted in an exception or warning.
 You can suppress these on a per-block basis by specifying the :okexcept:
 or :okwarning: options:
 
 .. code-block:: rst
 
     .. ipython::
         :okexcept:
         :okwarning:
 
         In [1]: 1/0
         In [2]: # raise warning.
 
 To Do
 -----
 
 - Turn the ad-hoc test() function into a real test suite.
 - Break up ipython-specific functionality from matplotlib stuff into better
   separated code.

             # When there is stdout from the input, it also has a '\n' at the
             # tail end, and so this ensures proper spacing as well. E.g.:
             #
             #   In [1]: print x
             #   5
             #

             # nothing was passed to IP. Sometimes the submitted code block has
             # an Out[] portion and sometimes it does not. When it does not, we
             # need to ensure proper spacing, so we have to add '' to `ret`.
             # However, if there is an Out[] in the submitted code, then we do
             # not want to add a newline as `process_output` has stuff to add.
             # The difficulty is that `process_input` doesn't know if
             # `process_output` will be called---so it doesn't know if there is
             # Out[] in the code block. The requires that we include a hack in
