1 2007-09-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2
3 * ipy_profile_zope.py: add zope profile, by Stefan Eletzhofer.
4
1 5 2007-09-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2 6
3 7 * Magic.py: %time now passes expression through prefilter,
4 8 allowing IPython syntax.
5 9
6 10 2007-09-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
7 11
8 12 * ipmaker.py: Always show full traceback when newstyle config fails
9 13
10 14 2007-08-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
11 15
12 16 * Magic.py: fix %cd for nonexistent dir when dhist is empty, close #180
13 17
14 18 2007-08-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
15 19
16 20 * ipmaker.py: Command line args have the highest priority again
17 21
18 22 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: -i command line argument now behaves as in
19 23 normal python, i.e. leaves the IPython session running after -c
20 24 command or running a batch file from command line.
21 25
22 26 2007-08-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
23 27
24 28 * iplib.py: no extra empty (last) line in raw hist w/ multiline
25 29 statements
26 30
27 31 * logger.py: Fix bug where blank lines in history were not
28 32 added until AFTER adding the current line; translated and raw
29 33 history should finally be in sync with prompt now.
30 34
31 35 * ipy_completers.py: quick_completer now makes it easy to create
32 36 trivial custom completers
33 37
34 38 * clearcmd.py: shadow history compression & erasing, fixed input hist
35 39 clearing.
36 40
37 41 * envpersist.py, history.py: %env (sh profile only), %hist completers
38 42
39 43 * genutils.py, Prompts.py, Magic.py: win32 - prompt (with \yDEPTH) and
40 44 term title now include the drive letter, and always use / instead of
41 45 os.sep (as per recommended approach for win32 ipython in general).
42 46
43 47 * ipykit.py, ipy_kitcfg.py: special launcher for ipykit. Allows running
44 48 plain python scripts from ipykit command line by running
45 49 "py myscript.py", even w/o installed python.
46 50
47 51 2007-08-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
48 52
49 53 * ipmaker.py: finding ipythonrc-PROF now skips ipy_profile_PROF.
50 54 (for backwards compatibility)
51 55
52 56 * history.py: switch back to %hist -t from %hist -r as default.
53 57 At least until raw history is fixed for good.
54 58
55 59 2007-08-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
56 60
57 61 * ipapi.py, iplib.py: DebugTools accessible via _ip.dbg, to catch &
58 62 locate alias redeclarations etc. Also, avoid handling
59 63 _ip.IP.alias_table directly, prefer using _ip.defalias.
60 64
61 65
62 66 2007-08-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
63 67
64 68 * prefilter.py: ! is now always served first
65 69
66 70 2007-08-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
67 71
68 72 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): fix the SystemExit
69 73 auto-suppression code to work in Python2.4 (the internal structure
70 74 of that exception changed and I'd only tested the code with 2.5).
71 75 Bug reported by a SciPy attendee.
72 76
73 77 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
74 78
75 79 * prefilter.py: reverted !c:/bin/foo fix, made % in
76 80 multiline specials work again
77 81
78 82 2007-08-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
79 83
80 84 * prefilter.py: Take more care to special-case !, so that
81 85 !c:/bin/foo.exe works.
82 86
83 87 * setup.py: if we are building eggs, strip all docs and
84 88 examples (it doesn't make sense to bytecompile examples,
85 89 and docs would be in an awkward place anyway).
86 90
87 91 * Ryan Krauss' patch fixes start menu shortcuts when IPython
88 92 is installed into a directory that has spaces in the name.
89 93
90 94 2007-08-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
91 95
92 96 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): fix prompt separators in
93 97 doctest profile and %doctest_mode, so they actually generate the
94 98 blank lines needed by doctest to separate individual tests.
95 99
96 100 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): modify so that running code
97 101 which calls sys.exit(0) (or equivalently, raise SystemExit(0))
98 102 doesn't get a printed traceback. Any other value in sys.exit(),
99 103 including the empty call, still generates a traceback. This
100 104 enables use of %run without having to pass '-e' for codes that
101 105 correctly set the exit status flag.
102 106
103 107 2007-08-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
104 108
105 109 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
106 110 fix problems with doctests failing when run inside IPython due to
107 111 IPython's modifications of sys.displayhook.
108 112
109 113 2007-8-9 Fernando Perez <fperez@planck.colorado.edu>
110 114
111 115 * IPython/ipapi.py (to_user_ns): update to accept a dict as well as
112 116 a string with names.
113 117
114 118 2007-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
115 119
116 120 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_doctest_mode): added new %doctest_mode
117 121 magic to toggle on/off the doctest pasting support without having
118 122 to leave a session to switch to a separate profile.
119 123
120 124 2007-08-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
121 125
122 126 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py (main): fix prompt to
123 127 introduce a blank line between inputs, to conform to doctest
124 128 requirements.
125 129
126 130 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix another part where
127 131 auto-generated docstrings for new-style classes were showing up.
128 132
129 133 2007-08-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
130 134
131 135 * api_changes: Add new file to track backward-incompatible
132 136 user-visible changes.
133 137
134 138 2007-08-06 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
135 139
136 140 * ipmaker.py: fix bug where user_config_ns didn't exist at all
137 141 before all the config files were handled.
138 142
139 143 2007-08-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
140 144
141 145 * IPython/irunner.py (RunnerFactory): Add new factory class for
142 146 creating reusable runners based on filenames.
143 147
144 148 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py: New profile for
145 149 doctest support. It sets prompts/exceptions as similar to
146 150 standard Python as possible, so that ipython sessions in this
147 151 profile can be easily pasted as doctests with minimal
148 152 modifications. It also enables pasting of doctests from external
149 153 sources (even if they have leading whitespace), so that you can
150 154 rerun doctests from existing sources.
151 155
152 156 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix a buglet where after entering
153 157 some whitespace, the prompt would become a continuation prompt
154 158 with no way of exiting it other than Ctrl-C. This fix brings us
155 159 into conformity with how the default python prompt works.
156 160
157 161 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py (prefilter_paste):
158 162 Add support for pasting not only lines that start with '>>>', but
159 163 also with ' >>>'. That is, arbitrary whitespace can now precede
160 164 the prompts. This makes the system useful for pasting doctests
161 165 from docstrings back into a normal session.
162 166
163 167 2007-08-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
164 168
165 169 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): fix bug introduced in
166 170 r1357, which had killed multiple invocations of an embedded
167 171 ipython (this means that example-embed has been broken for over 1
168 172 year!!!). Rather than possibly breaking the batch stuff for which
169 173 the code in iplib.py/interact was introduced, I worked around the
170 174 problem in the embedding class in Shell.py. We really need a
171 175 bloody test suite for this code, I'm sick of finding stuff that
172 176 used to work breaking left and right every time I use an old
173 177 feature I hadn't touched in a few months.
174 178 (kill_embedded): Add a new magic that only shows up in embedded
175 179 mode, to allow users to permanently deactivate an embedded instance.
176 180
177 181 2007-08-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
178 182
179 183 * iplib.py, ipy_profile_sh.py (runlines): Fix the bug where raw
180 184 history gets out of sync on runlines (e.g. when running macros).
181 185
182 186 2007-07-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
183 187
184 188 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_colors): fix win32-related error message
185 189 that could appear under *nix when readline was missing. Patch by
186 190 Scott Jackson, closes #175.
187 191
188 192 2007-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
189 193
190 194 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_traits_completer.py: Add a new custom
191 195 completer that it traits-aware, so that traits objects don't show
192 196 all of their internal attributes all the time.
193 197
194 198 * IPython/genutils.py (dir2): moved this code from inside
195 199 completer.py to expose it publicly, so I could use it in the
196 200 wildcards bugfix.
197 201
198 202 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix a bug reported by
199 203 Stefan with Traits.
200 204
201 205 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): change internal
202 206 var name from 'object' to 'obj', since 'object' is now a builtin
203 207 and this can lead to weird bugs if reusing this code elsewhere.
204 208
205 209 2007-07-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
206 210
207 211 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix small glitches in
208 212 'foo?' and update the code to prevent printing of default
209 213 docstrings that started appearing after I added support for
210 214 new-style classes. The approach I'm using isn't ideal (I just
211 215 special-case those strings) but I'm not sure how to more robustly
212 216 differentiate between truly user-written strings and Python's
213 217 automatic ones.
214 218
215 219 2007-07-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
216 220
217 221 * completer.py: Applied Matthew Neeley's patch:
218 222 Dynamic attributes from trait_names and _getAttributeNames are added
219 223 to the list of tab completions, but when this happens, the attribute
220 224 list is turned into a set, so the attributes are unordered when
221 225 printed, which makes it hard to find the right completion. This patch
222 226 turns this set back into a list and sort it.
223 227
224 228 2007-07-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
225 229
226 230 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add support for new-style
227 231 classes in various inspector functions.
228 232
229 233 2007-06-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
230 234
231 235 * shadowns.py, iplib.py, ipapi.py, OInspect.py:
232 236 Implement "shadow" namespace, and callable aliases that reside there.
233 237 Use them by:
234 238
235 239 _ip.defalias('foo',myfunc) # creates _sh.foo that points to myfunc
236 240
237 241 foo hello world
238 242 (gets translated to:)
239 243 _sh.foo(r"""hello world""")
240 244
241 245 In practice, this kind of alias can take the role of a magic function
242 246
243 247 * New generic inspect_object, called on obj? and obj??
244 248
245 249 2007-06-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
246 250
247 251 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): fix a problem with
248 252 inspect.getfile that can cause crashes during traceback construction.
249 253
250 254 2007-06-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
251 255
252 256 * iplib.py (handle_auto): Try to use ascii for printing "--->"
253 257 autocall rewrite indication, becausesometimes unicode fails to print
254 258 properly (and you get ' - - - '). Use plain uncoloured ---> for
255 259 unicode.
256 260
257 261 * shadow history. Usable through "%hist -g <pat>" and "%rep 0123".
258 262
259 263 . pickleshare 'hash' commands (hget, hset, hcompress,
260 264 hdict) for efficient shadow history storage.
261 265
262 266 2007-06-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
263 267
264 268 * ipapi.py: _ip.to_user_ns(vars, interactive = True).
265 269 Added kw arg 'interactive', tell whether vars should be visible
266 270 with %whos.
267 271
268 272 2007-06-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
269 273
270 274 * pspersistence.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: directory history now saved
271 275 to db
272 276
273 277 * iplib.py: "ipython -c <cmd>" now passes the command through prefilter.
274 278 Also, it exits IPython immediately after evaluating the command (just like
275 279 std python)
276 280
277 281 2007-06-05 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
278 282
279 283 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a new table icap, which executes a
280 284 Python string and captures the output. (Idea and original patch by
281 285 StοΏ½fan van der Walt)
282 286
283 287 2007-06-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
284 288
285 289 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): update printing of
286 290 exception types for Python 2.5 (now all exceptions in the stdlib
287 291 are new-style classes).
288 292
289 293 2007-05-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
290 294
291 295 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add new commands refresh and
292 296 refresh_timer (mapped to "R"/"F5" and to the menu) which restarts
293 297 the iterator once (refresh) or after every x seconds (refresh_timer).
294 298 Add a working implementation of "searchexpression", where the text
295 299 entered is not the text to search for, but an expression that must
296 300 be true. Added display of shortcuts to the menu. Added commands "pickinput"
297 301 and "pickinputattr" that put the object or attribute under the cursor
298 302 in the input line. Split the statusbar to be able to display the currently
299 303 active refresh interval. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
300 304
301 305 2007-05-29 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
302 306
303 307 * fixing set_term_title to use ctypes as default
304 308
305 309 * fixing set_term_title fallback to work when curent dir
306 310 is on a windows network share
307 311
308 312 2007-05-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
309 313
310 314 * %cpaste: strip + with > from left (diffs).
311 315
312 316 * iplib.py: Fix crash when readline not installed
313 317
314 318 2007-05-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
315 319
316 320 * generics.py: intruduce easy to extend result_display generic
317 321 function (using simplegeneric.py).
318 322
319 323 * Fixed the append functionality of %set.
320 324
321 325 2007-05-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
322 326
323 327 * New magic: %rep (fetch / run old commands from history)
324 328
325 329 * New extension: mglob (%mglob magic), for powerful glob / find /filter
326 330 like functionality
327 331
328 332 % maghistory.py: %hist -g PATTERM greps the history for pattern
329 333
330 334 2007-05-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
331 335
332 336 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a Table ihist that can be used to
333 337 browse the IPython input history
334 338
335 339 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Added two command to ibrowse: pickinput
336 340 (mapped to "i") can be used to put the object under the curser in the input
337 341 line. pickinputattr (mapped to "I") does the same for the attribute under
338 342 the cursor.
339 343
340 344 2007-05-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
341 345
342 346 * Grand magic cleansing (changeset [2380]):
343 347
344 348 * Introduce ipy_legacy.py where the following magics were
345 349 moved:
346 350
347 351 pdef pdoc psource pfile rehash dhist Quit p r automagic autocall
348 352
349 353 If you need them, either use default profile or "import ipy_legacy"
350 354 in your ipy_user_conf.py
351 355
352 356 * Move sh and scipy profile to Extensions from UserConfig. this implies
353 357 you should not edit them, but you don't need to run %upgrade when
354 358 upgrading IPython anymore.
355 359
356 360 * %hist/%history now operates in "raw" mode by default. To get the old
357 361 behaviour, run '%hist -n' (native mode).
358 362
359 363 * split ipy_stock_completers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py and
360 364 ipy_app_completers.py. Stock completers (%cd, import, %run) are now
361 365 installed as default.
362 366
363 367 * sh profile now installs ipy_signals.py, for (hopefully) better ctrl+c
364 368 handling.
365 369
366 370 * iplib.py, ipapi.py: _ip.set_next_input(s) sets the next ("default")
367 371 input if readline is available.
368 372
369 373 2007-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
370 374
371 375 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
372 376
373 377 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
374 378 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
375 379 no python installation required).
376 380
377 381 * Removed ipythonrc-scipy, ipy_profile_scipy.py takes
378 382 its place.
379 383
380 384 * rlineimpl.py, genutils.py (get_home_dir): py2exe support
381 385
382 386 2007-05-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
383 387
384 388 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
385 389 failure of 'title' system call properly.
386 390
387 391 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
388 392
389 393 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
390 394 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
391 395
392 396 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
393 397
394 398 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
395 399 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
396 400 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
397 401
398 402 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
399 403
400 404 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
401 405 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
402 406
403 407 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
404 408
405 409 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
406 410 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
407 411
408 412 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
409 413 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
410 414
411 415 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
412 416 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
413 417 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
414 418
415 419 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
416 420
417 421 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
418 422 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
419 423 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
420 424 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
421 425
422 426 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
423 427 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
424 428
425 429 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
426 430
427 431 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
428 432 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
429 433 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
430 434 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
431 435
432 436 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
433 437
434 438 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
435 439
436 440 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
437 441 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
438 442
439 443 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
440 444
441 445 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
442 446
443 447 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
444 448
445 449 * iplib.py: (pre_config_initialization) Catch UnicodeDecodeError if the
446 450 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
447 451
448 452 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
449 453
450 454 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
451 455
452 456 * Update version number
453 457
454 458 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
455 459
456 460 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
457 461
458 462 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
459 463 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
460 464 bug discovered by Ville).
461 465
462 466 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
463 467
464 468 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
465 469 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
466 470
467 471 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
468 472
469 473
470 474 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
471 475
472 476 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
473 477 Closes #149.
474 478
475 479 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
476 480 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
477 481 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
478 482
479 483 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
480 484
481 485 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
482 486 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
483 487 allows wildcards.
484 488
485 489 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
486 490 as opposed to returning nothing.
487 491
488 492 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
489 493 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
490 494
491 495 2007-04-22 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
492 496
493 497 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
494 498 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
495 499
496 500 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
497 501
498 502 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
499 503 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
500 504
501 505 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
502 506
503 507 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
504 508 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
505 509 IPython instance.
506 510
507 511 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
508 512
509 513 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
510 514 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
511 515 'Iptl' template notation,
512 516
513 517 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
514 518 safer & faster 'import' completer.
515 519
516 520 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
517 521 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
518 522
519 523 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
520 524 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
521 525 defmacro() etc.)
522 526
523 527 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
524 528
525 529 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
526 530
527 531 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
528 532
529 533 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
530 534
531 535 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
532 536 and later on win32.
533 537
534 538 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
535 539
536 540 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
537 541
538 542 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
539 543
540 544 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
541 545 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
542 546
543 547 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
544 548
545 549 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
546 550
547 551 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
548 552
549 553 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
550 554
551 555 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
552 556
553 557 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
554 558 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
555 559 every %run call.
556 560
557 561 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
558 562 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
559 563 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
560 564
561 565 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
562 566
563 567 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
564 568 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
565 569 Stefan for the fix.
566 570
567 571 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
568 572 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
569 573 him.
570 574
571 575 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
572 576 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
573 577 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
574 578 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
575 579
576 580 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
577 581 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
578 582 each runcode access.
579 583
580 584 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
581 585 message.
582 586
583 587 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
584 588
585 589 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
586 590 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
587 591 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
588 592
589 593 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
590 594 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
591 595 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
592 596 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
593 597 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
594 598 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
595 599 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
596 600 anything up until we know if it actually works.
597 601
598 602 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
599 603 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
600 604 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
601 605 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
602 606 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
603 607
604 608 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
605 609
606 610 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
607 611 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
608 612 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
609 613
610 614 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
611 615
612 616 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
613 617 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
614 618 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
615 619
616 620 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
617 621
618 622 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
619 623 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
620 624 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
621 625 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
622 626 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
623 627
624 628 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
625 629
626 630 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
627 631 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
628 632
629 633 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
630 634 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
631 635 details in comments left in the code.
632 636
633 637 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
634 638 similar to what we had for Numeric.
635 639
636 640 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
637 641 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
638 642 than readline. Closes #109.
639 643
640 644 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
641 645 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
642 646
643 647 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
644 648
645 649 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
646 650 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
647 651 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
648 652 ongoing Unicode support work.
649 653
650 654 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
651 655 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
652 656 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
653 657 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
654 658
655 659 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
656 660
657 661 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
658 662 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
659 663
660 664 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
661 665
662 666 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
663 667 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
664 668 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
665 669
666 670 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
667 671
668 672 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
669 673 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
670 674 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
671 675 long definition lines for functions.
672 676
673 677 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
674 678
675 679 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
676 680 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
677 681 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
678 682 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
679 683
680 684 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
681 685
682 686 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
683 687
684 688 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
685 689
686 690 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
687 691 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
688 692 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
689 693
690 694 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
691 695 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
692 696
693 697 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
694 698 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
695 699
696 700 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
697 701
698 702 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
699 703 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
700 704 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
701 705
702 706 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
703 707
704 708 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
705 709 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
706 710
707 711 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
708 712 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
709 713 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
710 714 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
711 715 sometimes return "" as last element.
712 716
713 717 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
714 718
715 719 * IPython/completer.py
716 720 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
717 721 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
718 722 would be completed too early.
719 723
720 724 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
721 725 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
722 726 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
723 727 backwards compatibility.
724 728
725 729 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
726 730 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
727 731 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
728 732 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
729 733 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
730 734 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
731 735 also works when debugging.
732 736
733 737 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
734 738 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
735 739
736 740 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
737 741 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
738 742 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
739 743
740 744 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
741 745 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
742 746 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
743 747
744 748 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
745 749 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
746 750
747 751 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
748 752
749 753 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
750 754 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
751 755 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
752 756
753 757 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
754 758
755 759 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
756 760 to be installed alongside igrid.
757 761 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
758 762 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
759 763 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
760 764
761 765 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
762 766
763 767 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
764 768 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
765 769 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
766 770
767 771 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
768 772
769 773 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
770 774 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
771 775
772 776 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
773 777 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
774 778
775 779 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
776 780
777 781 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
778 782 as the default browser.
779 783 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
780 784 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
781 785 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
782 786 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
783 787
784 788 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
785 789
786 790 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
787 791 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
788 792 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
789 793
790 794 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
791 795
792 796 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
793 797 Close help window if exiting igrid.
794 798
795 799 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
796 800
797 801 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
798 802 before calling functions from readline.
799 803
800 804 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
801 805
802 806 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
803 807 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
804 808 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
805 809 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
806 810 falls back to idump.
807 811
808 812 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
809 813
810 814 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
811 815 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
812 816 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
813 817 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
814 818
815 819 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
816 820
817 821 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
818 822 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
819 823 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
820 824 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
821 825 %magic with explicit % prefix.
822 826
823 827 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
824 828
825 829 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
826 830 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
827 831
828 832 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
829 833
830 834 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
831 835 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
832 836 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
833 837 one wants those instead.
834 838
835 839 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
836 840 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
837 841 instead.
838 842
839 843 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
840 844
841 845 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
842 846 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
843 847 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
844 848 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
845 849
846 850 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
847 851
848 852 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
849 853 stop marks.
850 854 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
851 855 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
852 856 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
853 857
854 858 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
855 859
856 860 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
857 861 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
858 862 sumbmitted to upstream.
859 863
860 864 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
861 865
862 866 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
863 867 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
864 868 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
865 869 running into an empty levels list later.
866 870
867 871 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
868 872
869 873 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
870 874 for the noitem object.
871 875
872 876 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
873 877
874 878 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
875 879 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
876 880 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
877 881 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
878 882
879 883 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
880 884
881 885 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
882 886 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
883 887 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
884 888 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
885 889 filenames.
886 890
887 891 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
888 892 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
889 893 out-of-process ipython code.
890 894
891 895 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
892 896 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
893 897 doctesting.
894 898
895 899 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
896 900
897 901 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
898 902
899 903 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
900 904 not being correctly recognized.
901 905
902 906 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
903 907
904 908 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
905 909 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
906 910 only item.
907 911
908 912 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
909 913 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
910 914 infinite recursion for one line strings).
911 915
912 916 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
913 917
914 918 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
915 919 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
916 920 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
917 921
918 922 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
919 923
920 924 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
921 925 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
922 926 "%env VISUAL=jed".
923 927
924 928 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
925 929
926 930 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
927 931 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
928 932 but I'm not exactly sure why).
929 933
930 934 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
931 935 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
932 936
933 937 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
934 938
935 939 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
936 940 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
937 941
938 942 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
939 943 the time during IPython startup is spent.
940 944
941 945 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
942 946
943 947 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
944 948
945 949 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
946 950
947 951 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
948 952
949 953 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
950 954
951 955 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
952 956 to work properly on posix too
953 957
954 958 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
955 959
956 960 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
957 961
958 962 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
959 963 prefix + "/scripts".
960 964
961 965 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
962 966
963 967 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
964 968
965 969 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
966 970 if they already exist
967 971
968 972 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
969 973
970 974 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
971 975
972 976 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
973 977
974 978 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
975 979
976 980 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
977 981 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
978 982 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
979 983
980 984 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
981 985
982 986 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
983 987 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
984 988 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
985 989
986 990 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
987 991 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
988 992 in ipy_user_conf.py
989 993
990 994
991 995 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
992 996 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
993 997 as IPython script.
994 998
995 999 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
996 1000
997 1001 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
998 1002
999 1003 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
1000 1004 is called before any exception has occurred.
1001 1005
1002 1006 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1003 1007
1004 1008 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
1005 1009 to translate /'s to \'s again.
1006 1010
1007 1011 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
1008 1012 backslash.
1009 1013
1010 1014 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
1011 1015
1012 1016 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1013 1017
1014 1018 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
1015 1019 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
1016 1020 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
1017 1021
1018 1022 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
1019 1023 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
1020 1024
1021 1025 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
1022 1026 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
1023 1027
1024 1028 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
1025 1029
1026 1030 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1027 1031
1028 1032 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
1029 1033 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
1030 1034
1031 1035 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1032 1036 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
1033 1037 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
1034 1038 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
1035 1039 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
1036 1040 mapped to "%" now.
1037 1041 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
1038 1042
1039 1043 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1040 1044
1041 1045 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
1042 1046 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
1043 1047 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
1044 1048 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
1045 1049
1046 1050 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1047 1051
1048 1052 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
1049 1053 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
1050 1054 for shell escapes.
1051 1055
1052 1056 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1053 1057
1054 1058 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
1055 1059 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
1056 1060 vcs_completer.
1057 1061
1058 1062 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1059 1063
1060 1064 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
1061 1065 directly instead!
1062 1066
1063 1067 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
1064 1068
1065 1069 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
1066 1070 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
1067 1071
1068 1072 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
1069 1073 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
1070 1074 explicit.
1071 1075
1072 1076 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
1073 1077 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
1074 1078
1075 1079 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
1076 1080
1077 1081 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
1078 1082
1079 1083 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1080 1084 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
1081 1085 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
1082 1086 implementation for Text is useless.
1083 1087
1084 1088 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
1085 1089
1086 1090 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
1087 1091
1088 1092 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1089 1093
1090 1094 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
1091 1095 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
1092 1096 "profile"
1093 1097
1094 1098 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1095 1099
1096 1100 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
1097 1101 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
1098 1102
1099 1103 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
1100 1104 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
1101 1105
1102 1106
1103 1107 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1104 1108 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
1105 1109 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
1106 1110
1107 1111 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1108 1112
1109 1113 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
1110 1114 with one from UserConfig.
1111 1115
1112 1116 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
1113 1117 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
1114 1118
1115 1119 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
1116 1120 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
1117 1121 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
1118 1122
1119 1123 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
1120 1124
1121 1125 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
1122 1126
1123 1127 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
1124 1128
1125 1129 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
1126 1130
1127 1131 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
1128 1132
1129 1133 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
1130 1134
1131 1135 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
1132 1136
1133 1137 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1134 1138
1135 1139 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
1136 1140 by eval of expr with dots.
1137 1141
1138 1142 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1139 1143
1140 1144 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
1141 1145 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
1142 1146 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
1143 1147 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
1144 1148 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
1145 1149 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
1146 1150
1147 1151 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1148 1152
1149 1153 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
1150 1154 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
1151 1155 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
1152 1156
1153 1157 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
1154 1158 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
1155 1159 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
1156 1160 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
1157 1161 funtionality in ipconfig.
1158 1162
1159 1163 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
1160 1164 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
1161 1165 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
1162 1166 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
1163 1167
1164 1168 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1165 1169
1166 1170 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
1167 1171 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
1168 1172 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
1169 1173 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
1170 1174 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
1171 1175 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
1172 1176 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
1173 1177 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
1174 1178 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
1175 1179 descriptors.
1176 1180
1177 1181 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
1178 1182 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
1179 1183
1180 1184 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
1181 1185 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
1182 1186
1183 1187 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
1184 1188
1185 1189 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
1186 1190
1187 1191 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1188 1192
1189 1193 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
1190 1194 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
1191 1195 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
1192 1196
1193 1197 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
1194 1198 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
1195 1199 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
1196 1200
1197 1201 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1198 1202 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
1199 1203 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
1200 1204 ipy_stock_completers.
1201 1205
1202 1206 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1203 1207
1204 1208 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
1205 1209
1206 1210 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
1207 1211 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
1208 1212 when filtering possible completions.
1209 1213
1210 1214 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
1211 1215
1212 1216 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
1213 1217 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
1214 1218 function
1215 1219
1216 1220
1217 1221 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1218 1222
1219 1223 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
1220 1224 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
1221 1225 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
1222 1226 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
1223 1227 SVN completer.
1224 1228
1225 1229 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
1226 1230 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
1227 1231 name is %led.
1228 1232
1229 1233 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1230 1234
1231 1235 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
1232 1236 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
1233 1237 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
1234 1238
1235 1239 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
1236 1240 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
1237 1241 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
1238 1242 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
1239 1243 hook name is 'complete_command'.
1240 1244
1241 1245 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1242 1246
1243 1247 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
1244 1248 Numeric leftovers.
1245 1249
1246 1250 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
1247 1251 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
1248 1252
1249 1253 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
1250 1254 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
1251 1255
1252 1256 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
1253 1257 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
1254 1258
1255 1259 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
1256 1260 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
1257 1261 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
1258 1262
1259 1263 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1260 1264
1261 1265 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
1262 1266 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
1263 1267 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
1264 1268
1265 1269 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
1266 1270 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
1267 1271
1268 1272 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1269 1273
1270 1274 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
1271 1275 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
1272 1276 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
1273 1277
1274 1278 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1275 1279
1276 1280 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
1277 1281 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
1278 1282 internal crash handler.
1279 1283
1280 1284 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
1281 1285 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
1282 1286 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
1283 1287 at the request of SAGE.
1284 1288
1285 1289 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1286 1290
1287 1291 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
1288 1292 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
1289 1293
1290 1294 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
1291 1295 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
1292 1296 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
1293 1297 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
1294 1298
1295 1299 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
1296 1300 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
1297 1301 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
1298 1302
1299 1303 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1300 1304
1301 1305 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
1302 1306 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
1303 1307 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
1304 1308
1305 1309 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
1306 1310 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
1307 1311
1308 1312 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1309 1313
1310 1314 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
1311 1315 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
1312 1316 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
1313 1317 Stefan.
1314 1318
1315 1319 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1316 1320
1317 1321 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
1318 1322 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
1319 1323 sys.stdout.close().
1320 1324
1321 1325 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1322 1326
1323 1327 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
1324 1328 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
1325 1329 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
1326 1330 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
1327 1331
1328 1332 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
1329 1333 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
1330 1334 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
1331 1335
1332 1336 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
1333 1337 2.5.
1334 1338
1335 1339 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
1336 1340 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
1337 1341 interactively.
1338 1342
1339 1343 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1340 1344
1341 1345 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
1342 1346 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
1343 1347
1344 1348 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1345 1349
1346 1350 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
1347 1351 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
1348 1352 or only files.
1349 1353
1350 1354 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1351 1355
1352 1356 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
1353 1357 they broke unittest
1354 1358
1355 1359 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1356 1360
1357 1361 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
1358 1362 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
1359 1363 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
1360 1364 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
1361 1365
1362 1366 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1363 1367
1364 1368 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
1365 1369 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
1366 1370 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
1367 1371 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
1368 1372 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
1369 1373
1370 1374 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1371 1375
1372 1376 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
1373 1377 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
1374 1378
1375 1379 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1376 1380
1377 1381 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1378 1382 the mode argument).
1379 1383
1380 1384 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1381 1385
1382 1386 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1383 1387 not running under IPython.
1384 1388
1385 1389 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1386 1390 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1387 1391 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1388 1392 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1389 1393 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1390 1394 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1391 1395 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1392 1396 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1393 1397 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1394 1398 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1395 1399 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1396 1400 are still supported.
1397 1401
1398 1402 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1399 1403 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1400 1404 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1401 1405 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1402 1406
1403 1407 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1404 1408 encoding into methods.
1405 1409
1406 1410 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1407 1411
1408 1412 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1409 1413 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1410 1414
1411 1415 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1412 1416
1413 1417 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1414 1418 non existing attributes.
1415 1419
1416 1420 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1417 1421
1418 1422 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1419 1423 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1420 1424
1421 1425 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1422 1426
1423 1427 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1424 1428 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1425 1429
1426 1430 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1427 1431
1428 1432 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1429 1433 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1430 1434 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1431 1435
1432 1436 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1433 1437
1434 1438 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1435 1439 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1436 1440 Stefan van der Walt.
1437 1441
1438 1442 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1439 1443
1440 1444 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1441 1445 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1442 1446
1443 1447 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1444 1448
1445 1449 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1446 1450 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1447 1451 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1448 1452
1449 1453 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1450 1454
1451 1455 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1452 1456 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1453 1457 attributes.
1454 1458
1455 1459 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1456 1460
1457 1461 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1458 1462 commands into the methods implementing them.
1459 1463
1460 1464 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1461 1465
1462 1466 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1463 1467 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1464 1468 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1465 1469
1466 1470 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1467 1471
1468 1472 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1469 1473 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1470 1474
1471 1475 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1472 1476
1473 1477 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1474 1478 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1475 1479
1476 1480 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1477 1481
1478 1482 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1479 1483 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1480 1484 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1481 1485 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1482 1486 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1483 1487 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1484 1488 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1485 1489 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1486 1490 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1487 1491 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1488 1492 the x key to "delete".
1489 1493
1490 1494 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1491 1495
1492 1496 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1493 1497 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1494 1498 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1495 1499 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1496 1500
1497 1501 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1498 1502 prompt
1499 1503
1500 1504 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1501 1505
1502 1506 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1503 1507
1504 1508 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1505 1509 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1506 1510 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1507 1511 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1508 1512
1509 1513 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1510 1514
1511 1515 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1512 1516 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1513 1517 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1514 1518 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1515 1519 doesn't work properly yet.
1516 1520
1517 1521 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1518 1522
1519 1523 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1520 1524 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1521 1525 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1522 1526
1523 1527 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1524 1528
1525 1529 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1526 1530 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1527 1531 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1528 1532 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1529 1533 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1530 1534 execute commands.
1531 1535
1532 1536 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1533 1537
1534 1538 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1535 1539 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1536 1540
1537 1541 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1538 1542
1539 1543 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1540 1544 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1541 1545
1542 1546 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1543 1547
1544 1548 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1545 1549 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1546 1550 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1547 1551
1548 1552 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1549 1553
1550 1554 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1551 1555
1552 1556 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1553 1557 Repo tagged and release cut.
1554 1558
1555 1559 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1556 1560
1557 1561 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1558 1562 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1559 1563
1560 1564 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1561 1565 (for %upgrade)
1562 1566
1563 1567 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1564 1568
1565 1569 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1566 1570 instead of looping 20 times.
1567 1571
1568 1572 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1569 1573 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1570 1574 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1571 1575
1572 1576 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1573 1577 testing for release on 06/06.
1574 1578
1575 1579 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1576 1580
1577 1581 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1578 1582 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1579 1583 live in people's PATH.
1580 1584
1581 1585 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1582 1586 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1583 1587 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1584 1588 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1585 1589 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1586 1590
1587 1591 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1588 1592 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1589 1593
1590 1594 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1591 1595
1592 1596 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1593 1597 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1594 1598
1595 1599 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1596 1600
1597 1601 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1598 1602 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1599 1603 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1600 1604
1601 1605 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1602 1606
1603 1607 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1604 1608 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1605 1609 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1606 1610 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1607 1611
1608 1612 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1609 1613 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1610 1614 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1611 1615 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1612 1616
1613 1617 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1614 1618 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1615 1619 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1616 1620 work.
1617 1621
1618 1622 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1619 1623
1620 1624 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1621 1625 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1622 1626
1623 1627 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1624 1628 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1625 1629 author William Stein.
1626 1630
1627 1631 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1628 1632 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1629 1633 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1630 1634 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1631 1635 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1632 1636 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1633 1637 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1634 1638 objects more easily.
1635 1639
1636 1640 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1637 1641
1638 1642 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1639 1643 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1640 1644 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1641 1645 by Jeffrey Collins.
1642 1646
1643 1647 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1644 1648 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1645 1649 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1646 1650 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1647 1651
1648 1652 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1649 1653 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1650 1654 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1651 1655 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1652 1656
1653 1657 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1654 1658 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1655 1659 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1656 1660 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1657 1661 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1658 1662 compatibility)
1659 1663
1660 1664 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1661 1665 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1662 1666 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1663 1667
1664 1668 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1665 1669 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1666 1670 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1667 1671 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1668 1672 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1669 1673
1670 1674 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1671 1675 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1672 1676 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1673 1677
1674 1678 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1675 1679 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1676 1680 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1677 1681 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1678 1682 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1679 1683 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1680 1684 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1681 1685
1682 1686 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1683 1687 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1684 1688 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1685 1689
1686 1690 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1687 1691 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1688 1692 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1689 1693
1690 1694 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1691 1695 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1692 1696
1693 1697 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1694 1698
1695 1699 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1696 1700 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1697 1701 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1698 1702 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1699 1703 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1700 1704 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1701 1705 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1702 1706 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1703 1707 while running under SAGE.
1704 1708
1705 1709 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1706 1710
1707 1711 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1708 1712 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1709 1713 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1710 1714 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1711 1715
1712 1716 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1713 1717
1714 1718 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1715 1719 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1716 1720 updated.
1717 1721
1718 1722 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1719 1723 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1720 1724 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1721 1725 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1722 1726 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1723 1727
1724 1728 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1725 1729 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1726 1730 so more testing is needed...
1727 1731
1728 1732 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1729 1733
1730 1734 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1731 1735 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1732 1736 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1733 1737 when doing complex debugging.
1734 1738 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1735 1739 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1736 1740 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1737 1741 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1738 1742
1739 1743 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1740 1744
1741 1745 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1742 1746 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1743 1747 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1744 1748 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1745 1749
1746 1750 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1747 1751
1748 1752 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1749 1753 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1750 1754
1751 1755 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1752 1756
1753 1757 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1754 1758 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1755 1759 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1756 1760 been the one to acquire it.
1757 1761
1758 1762 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1759 1763
1760 1764 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1761 1765
1762 1766 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1763 1767
1764 1768 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1765 1769 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1766 1770 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1767 1771
1768 1772 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1769 1773 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1770 1774 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1771 1775 properly flush the output cache.
1772 1776
1773 1777 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1774 1778 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1775 1779
1776 1780 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1777 1781
1778 1782 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1779 1783 are quoted
1780 1784
1781 1785 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1782 1786
1783 1787 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1784 1788 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1785 1789
1786 1790 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1787 1791 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1788 1792
1789 1793 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1790 1794
1791 1795 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1792 1796 %upgrade magic
1793 1797
1794 1798 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1795 1799
1796 1800 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1797 1801 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1798 1802 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1799 1803
1800 1804 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1801 1805
1802 1806 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1803 1807 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1804 1808
1805 1809 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1806 1810 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1807 1811 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1808 1812 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1809 1813 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1810 1814
1811 1815 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1812 1816
1813 1817 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1814 1818 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1815 1819
1816 1820 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1817 1821
1818 1822 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1819 1823 Torsten Marek.
1820 1824
1821 1825 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1822 1826
1823 1827 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1824 1828 line ranges works again.
1825 1829
1826 1830 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1827 1831
1828 1832 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1829 1833 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1830 1834 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1831 1835 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1832 1836 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1833 1837
1834 1838 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1835 1839 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1836 1840 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1837 1841 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1838 1842 more.
1839 1843
1840 1844 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1841 1845
1842 1846 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1843 1847 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1844 1848
1845 1849 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1846 1850
1847 1851 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1848 1852 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1849 1853
1850 1854 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1851 1855
1852 1856 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1853 1857
1854 1858 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1855 1859
1856 1860 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1857 1861
1858 1862 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1859 1863 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1860 1864 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1861 1865
1862 1866 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1863 1867
1864 1868 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1865 1869 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1866 1870 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1867 1871 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1868 1872
1869 1873 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1870 1874 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1871 1875
1872 1876 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1873 1877 contributed by marienz to close
1874 1878 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1875 1879
1876 1880 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1877 1881
1878 1882 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1879 1883
1880 1884 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1881 1885 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1882 1886 nonsense.
1883 1887
1884 1888 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1885 1889
1886 1890 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1887 1891 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1888 1892
1889 1893 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1890 1894
1891 1895 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1892 1896
1893 1897 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1894 1898 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1895 1899
1896 1900 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1897 1901
1898 1902 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1899 1903 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1900 1904 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1901 1905 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1902 1906 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1903 1907 SAGE team.
1904 1908 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1905 1909 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1906 1910
1907 1911 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1908 1912 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1909 1913 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1910 1914 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1911 1915 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1912 1916
1913 1917 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1914 1918
1915 1919 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1916 1920 correctly now (on Linux)
1917 1921
1918 1922 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1919 1923 warnings
1920 1924
1921 1925 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1922 1926
1923 1927 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1924 1928
1925 1929
1926 1930 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1927 1931
1928 1932 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1929 1933 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1930 1934 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1931 1935 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1932 1936 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1933 1937 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1934 1938 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1935 1939 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1936 1940
1937 1941 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1938 1942
1939 1943 * aliases can now be %store'd
1940 1944
1941 1945 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1942 1946 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1943 1947 at __init__.
1944 1948
1945 1949 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1946 1950 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1947 1951
1948 1952 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1949 1953
1950 1954 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1951 1955 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1952 1956 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1953 1957
1954 1958 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1955 1959
1956 1960 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1957 1961
1958 1962 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1959 1963
1960 1964 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1961 1965 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1962 1966 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1963 1967 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1964 1968
1965 1969 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1966 1970 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1967 1971
1968 1972 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1969 1973
1970 1974 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1971 1975 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1972 1976 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1973 1977 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1974 1978
1975 1979 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1976 1980 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1977 1981 usage.
1978 1982
1979 1983 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1980 1984 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1981 1985 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1982 1986
1983 1987 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1984 1988
1985 1989 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1986 1990 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1987 1991
1988 1992 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1989 1993 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1990 1994 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1991 1995
1992 1996 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1993 1997
1994 1998 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1995 1999
1996 2000 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1997 2001
1998 2002 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1999 2003 are now more helpful:
2000 2004 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
2001 2005
2002 2006 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2003 2007
2004 2008 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
2005 2009 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
2006 2010
2007 2011 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2008 2012
2009 2013 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
2010 2014 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
2011 2015
2012 2016 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
2013 2017 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
2014 2018 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
2015 2019
2016 2020 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
2017 2021
2018 2022
2019 2023 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2020 2024
2021 2025 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
2022 2026 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
2023 2027
2024 2028 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
2025 2029
2026 2030 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
2027 2031 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
2028 2032 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
2029 2033 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
2030 2034 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
2031 2035 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
2032 2036
2033 2037 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2034 2038
2035 2039 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2036 2040 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2037 2041 \python24\scripts).
2038 2042
2039 2043 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2040 2044 egg.
2041 2045
2042 2046 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2043 2047
2044 2048 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
2045 2049
2046 2050 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2047 2051
2048 2052 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
2049 2053
2050 2054 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2051 2055
2052 2056 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2053 2057 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2054 2058 \python24\scripts).
2055 2059
2056 2060 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2057 2061 egg.
2058 2062
2059 2063 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2060 2064
2061 2065 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
2062 2066 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
2063 2067 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
2064 2068
2065 2069 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
2066 2070 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
2067 2071 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
2068 2072 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
2069 2073
2070 2074 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
2071 2075 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
2072 2076 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
2073 2077 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
2074 2078 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
2075 2079 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
2076 2080 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
2077 2081 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
2078 2082 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
2079 2083 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
2080 2084 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
2081 2085 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.

2083 2087 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2084 2088
2085 2089 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
2086 2090 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
2087 2091 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
2088 2092 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
2089 2093
2090 2094 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2091 2095
2092 2096 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
2093 2097 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
2094 2098 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
2095 2099 importing extensions easy.
2096 2100
2097 2101 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
2098 2102 classes / instances of those classes.
2099 2103
2100 2104 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
2101 2105 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
2102 2106 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
2103 2107 the user.
2104 2108
2105 2109 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
2106 2110 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
2107 2111 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
2108 2112
2109 2113 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2110 2114
2111 2115 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
2112 2116 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
2113 2117 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
2114 2118 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
2115 2119 others may also catch any problems. Also made
2116 2120 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
2117 2121 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
2118 2122 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
2119 2123 the method.
2120 2124
2121 2125 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2122 2126
2123 2127 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
2124 2128 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
2125 2129
2126 2130 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2127 2131
2128 2132 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
2129 2133 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
2130 2134 Vivian.
2131 2135
2132 2136 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
2133 2137 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
2134 2138 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
2135 2139 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
2136 2140 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
2137 2141
2138 2142 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2139 2143
2140 2144 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
2141 2145 that returns file contents on exit.
2142 2146
2143 2147 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
2144 2148 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
2145 2149 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
2146 2150 sc files=ls
2147 2151 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
2148 2152 print p,p.mtime
2149 2153
2150 2154 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
2151 2155 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
2152 2156 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
2153 2157 instead of syntax error.
2154 2158
2155 2159
2156 2160 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2157 2161
2158 2162 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
2159 2163 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
2160 2164 data.
2161 2165
2162 2166 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
2163 2167 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
2164 2168 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
2165 2169 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
2166 2170
2167 2171 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
2168 2172 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
2169 2173 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
2170 2174 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
2171 2175 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
2172 2176 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
2173 2177
2174 2178 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2175 2179
2176 2180 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
2177 2181 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
2178 2182 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
2179 2183 current dir.
2180 2184
2181 2185 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
2182 2186 had to create new files.
2183 2187
2184 2188 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
2185 2189 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
2186 2190 future.
2187 2191
2188 2192 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
2189 2193 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
2190 2194 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
2191 2195
2192 2196
2193 2197 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2194 2198
2195 2199 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
2196 2200 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
2197 2201 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
2198 2202 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
2199 2203 later.
2200 2204
2201 2205 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
2202 2206 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
2203 2207
2204 2208 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2205 2209
2206 2210 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
2207 2211 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
2208 2212 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
2209 2213 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
2210 2214 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
2211 2215 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
2212 2216
2213 2217 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2214 2218
2215 2219 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
2216 2220 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
2217 2221 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
2218 2222 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
2219 2223 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
2220 2224 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
2221 2225 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
2222 2226 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
2223 2227 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
2224 2228 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
2225 2229
2226 2230 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
2227 2231 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
2228 2232 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
2229 2233 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
2230 2234
2231 2235 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
2232 2236 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
2233 2237 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
2234 2238 "setup.py install" between changes).
2235 2239
2236 2240 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
2237 2241 if 1:
2238 2242 !ls
2239 2243 !!ls
2240 2244
2241 2245 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2242 2246
2243 2247 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
2244 2248 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
2245 2249 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
2246 2250 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
2247 2251
2248 2252 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
2249 2253 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
2250 2254 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
2251 2255
2252 2256 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2253 2257
2254 2258 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
2255 2259 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
2256 2260 win32.
2257 2261
2258 2262 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
2259 2263
2260 2264 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2261 2265
2262 2266 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
2263 2267 ready for release.
2264 2268
2265 2269 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
2266 2270 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
2267 2271 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
2268 2272 where to copy the info from.
2269 2273
2270 2274 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2271 2275
2272 2276 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
2273 2277 support in the release tools as well.
2274 2278
2275 2279 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2276 2280
2277 2281 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
2278 2282 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
2279 2283 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
2280 2284 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
2281 2285
2282 2286 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2283 2287 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
2284 2288 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
2285 2289
2286 2290 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
2287 2291 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
2288 2292
2289 2293 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
2290 2294 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
2291 2295 printer not to work.
2292 2296
2293 2297 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2294 2298
2295 2299 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
2296 2300 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
2297 2301
2298 2302 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2299 2303
2300 2304 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
2301 2305 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
2302 2306 Moad for help with tracking it down.
2303 2307
2304 2308 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
2305 2309 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
2306 2310 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
2307 2311
2308 2312 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
2309 2313 Ville's patch.
2310 2314
2311 2315 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2312 2316
2313 2317 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
2314 2318 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
2315 2319 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
2316 2320 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
2317 2321 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
2318 2322 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
2319 2323 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
2320 2324
2321 2325 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
2322 2326 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
2323 2327 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
2324 2328
2325 2329 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2326 2330
2327 2331 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
2328 2332 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
2329 2333
2330 2334 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
2331 2335 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
2332 2336 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
2333 2337 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
2334 2338 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
2335 2339 twister).
2336 2340
2337 2341 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
2338 2342 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
2339 2343 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
2340 2344
2341 2345 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
2342 2346 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
2343 2347 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
2344 2348 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
2345 2349 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
2346 2350 something inside the dis module.
2347 2351
2348 2352 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2349 2353
2350 2354 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
2351 2355 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
2352 2356 follows the discussion in
2353 2357 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
2354 2358
2355 2359 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
2356 2360 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
2357 2361 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
2358 2362
2359 2363 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
2360 2364 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
2361 2365 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
2362 2366
2363 2367 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
2364 2368 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
2365 2369 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
2366 2370 speed up this routine.
2367 2371
2368 2372 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
2369 2373 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
2370 2374 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
2371 2375 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
2372 2376 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
2373 2377 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
2374 2378 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
2375 2379 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
2376 2380
2377 2381 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2378 2382 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2379 2383 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2380 2384
2381 2385 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2382 2386 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2383 2387 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2384 2388 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2385 2389 setters don't do anything).
2386 2390
2387 2391 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2388 2392
2389 2393 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2390 2394 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2391 2395 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2392 2396 falling out of sync...)
2393 2397
2394 2398 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2395 2399 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2396 2400 as loops).
2397 2401
2398 2402 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2399 2403 win32 system access.
2400 2404
2401 2405 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2402 2406
2403 2407 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2404 2408 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2405 2409 thread-safe.
2406 2410 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2407 2411 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2408 2412 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2409 2413 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2410 2414 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2411 2415 can still happen.
2412 2416 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2413 2417 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2414 2418 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2415 2419 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2416 2420 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2417 2421 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2418 2422 cleanly.
2419 2423
2420 2424 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2421 2425 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2422 2426 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2423 2427 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2424 2428 users' persisted data.
2425 2429
2426 2430 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2427 2431 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2428 2432 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2429 2433 multiline input (such as macros).
2430 2434
2431 2435 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2432 2436 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2433 2437 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2434 2438 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2435 2439 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2436 2440 informative).
2437 2441
2438 2442 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2439 2443 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2440 2444
2441 2445 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2442 2446 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2443 2447 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2444 2448
2445 2449 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2446 2450 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2447 2451 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2448 2452 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2449 2453 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2450 2454 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2451 2455 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2452 2456 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2453 2457 details.
2454 2458
2455 2459 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2456 2460 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2457 2461 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2458 2462 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2459 2463 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2460 2464
2461 2465 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2462 2466 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2463 2467 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2464 2468 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2465 2469 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2466 2470
2467 2471 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2468 2472 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2469 2473 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2470 2474 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2471 2475 options to %logstart. Closes
2472 2476 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2473 2477 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).

2475 2479 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2476 2480
2477 2481 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2478 2482 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2479 2483 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2480 2484 list:
2481 2485 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2482 2486
2483 2487 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2484 2488
2485 2489 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2486 2490 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2487 2491 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2488 2492 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2489 2493
2490 2494 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2491 2495 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2492 2496 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2493 2497 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2494 2498 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2495 2499
2496 2500 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2497 2501 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2498 2502 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2499 2503 true by default.
2500 2504
2501 2505 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2502 2506 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2503 2507 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2504 2508 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2505 2509
2506 2510 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2507 2511
2508 2512 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2509 2513 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2510 2514 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2511 2515 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2512 2516 version committed).
2513 2517
2514 2518 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2515 2519 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2516 2520 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2517 2521 discussion on the user list.
2518 2522
2519 2523 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2520 2524 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2521 2525 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2522 2526 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2523 2527
2524 2528 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2525 2529
2526 2530 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2527 2531 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2528 2532 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2529 2533
2530 2534 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2531 2535 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2532 2536 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2533 2537
2534 2538 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2535 2539 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2536 2540 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2537 2541 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2538 2542 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2539 2543 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2540 2544 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2541 2545 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2542 2546 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2543 2547 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2544 2548 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2545 2549 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2546 2550 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2547 2551 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2548 2552 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2549 2553 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2550 2554 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2551 2555 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2552 2556 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2553 2557 branch refactoring.
2554 2558
2555 2559 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2556 2560
2557 2561 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2558 2562 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2559 2563
2560 2564 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2561 2565 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2562 2566 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2563 2567 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2564 2568 worked correctly).
2565 2569
2566 2570 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2567 2571 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2568 2572 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2569 2573
2570 2574 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2571 2575
2572 2576 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2573 2577 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2574 2578 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2575 2579 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2576 2580 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2577 2581 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2578 2582 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2579 2583 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2580 2584
2581 2585 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2582 2586
2583 2587 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2584 2588 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2585 2589 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2586 2590 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2587 2591 on this.
2588 2592
2589 2593 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2590 2594
2591 2595 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2592 2596 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2593 2597 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2594 2598 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2595 2599 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2596 2600
2597 2601 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2598 2602
2599 2603 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2600 2604 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2601 2605 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2602 2606 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2603 2607
2604 2608 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2605 2609
2606 2610 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2607 2611 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2608 2612 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2609 2613
2610 2614 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2611 2615
2612 2616 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2613 2617 startup time.
2614 2618
2615 2619 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2616 2620 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2617 2621 it's working in all cases.
2618 2622
2619 2623 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2620 2624 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2621 2625 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2622 2626 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2623 2627 per-search basis.
2624 2628
2625 2629 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2626 2630
2627 2631 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2628 2632 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2629 2633 of a patch by Jorgen.
2630 2634
2631 2635 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2632 2636
2633 2637 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2634 2638 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2635 2639 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2636 2640
2637 2641 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2638 2642
2639 2643 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2640 2644 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2641 2645 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2642 2646 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2643 2647
2644 2648 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2645 2649
2646 2650 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2647 2651 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2648 2652 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2649 2653 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2650 2654 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2651 2655 implementing this functionality.
2652 2656
2653 2657 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2654 2658
2655 2659 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2656 2660 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2657 2661 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2658 2662 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2659 2663 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2660 2664 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2661 2665 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2662 2666
2663 2667 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2664 2668
2665 2669 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2666 2670 reported by Stephen Walton.
2667 2671
2668 2672 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2669 2673
2670 2674 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2671 2675
2672 2676 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2673 2677 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2674 2678
2675 2679 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2676 2680
2677 2681 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2678 2682 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2679 2683
2680 2684 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2681 2685 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2682 2686
2683 2687 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2684 2688
2685 2689 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2686 2690 finishing.
2687 2691
2688 2692 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2689 2693 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2690 2694
2691 2695 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2692 2696 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2693 2697 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2694 2698
2695 2699 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2696 2700 code, handy in general.
2697 2701
2698 2702 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2699 2703 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2700 2704 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2701 2705
2702 2706 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2703 2707
2704 2708 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2705 2709 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2706 2710 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2707 2711 testing, though.
2708 2712 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2709 2713 like this before...
2710 2714
2711 2715 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2712 2716 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2713 2717
2714 2718 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2715 2719 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2716 2720
2717 2721 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2718 2722
2719 2723 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2720 2724 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2721 2725 F. Mantegazza.
2722 2726
2723 2727 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2724 2728
2725 2729 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2726 2730 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2727 2731 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2728 2732
2729 2733 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2730 2734 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2731 2735 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2732 2736 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2733 2737 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2734 2738 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2735 2739
2736 2740 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2737 2741
2738 2742 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2739 2743 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2740 2744 beyond readline-based environments.
2741 2745
2742 2746 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2743 2747
2744 2748 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2745 2749
2746 2750 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2747 2751 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2748 2752 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2749 2753 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2750 2754 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2751 2755
2752 2756 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2753 2757
2754 2758 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2755 2759 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2756 2760 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2757 2761
2758 2762 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2759 2763
2760 2764 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2761 2765
2762 2766 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2763 2767
2764 2768 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2765 2769 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2766 2770 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2767 2771 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2768 2772 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2769 2773 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2770 2774
2771 2775 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2772 2776
2773 2777 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2774 2778
2775 2779 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2776 2780
2777 2781 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2778 2782 invalid $HOME under win32.
2779 2783
2780 2784 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2781 2785
2782 2786 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2783 2787 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2784 2788 simpler and a bit faster.
2785 2789
2786 2790 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2787 2791 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2788 2792 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2789 2793 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2790 2794 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2791 2795
2792 2796 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2793 2797 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2794 2798 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2795 2799
2796 2800 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2797 2801 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2798 2802
2799 2803 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2800 2804 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2801 2805 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2802 2806 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2803 2807 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2804 2808 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2805 2809 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2806 2810
2807 2811 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2808 2812
2809 2813 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2810 2814
2811 2815 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2812 2816
2813 2817 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2814 2818 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2815 2819
2816 2820 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2817 2821
2818 2822 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2819 2823 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2820 2824 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2821 2825 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2822 2826 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2823 2827 for the contribution.
2824 2828
2825 2829 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2826 2830 slightly modified version of the patch in
2827 2831 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2828 2832 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2829 2833 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.

2831 2835 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2832 2836
2833 2837 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2834 2838 I/O a bit more.
2835 2839
2836 2840 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2837 2841 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2838 2842
2839 2843 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15

2841 2845 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2842 2846
2843 2847 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2844 2848 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2845 2849 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2846 2850 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2847 2851
2848 2852 readline_remove_delims -/~

2854 2858
2855 2859 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2856 2860 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2857 2861 <eli@gondolin.net>
2858 2862
2859 2863 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2860 2864
2861 2865 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2862 2866 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2863 2867
2864 2868 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2865 2869
2866 2870 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2867 2871 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2868 2872 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2869 2873
2870 2874 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2871 2875
2872 2876 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2873 2877 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2874 2878
2875 2879 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2876 2880
2877 2881 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2878 2882 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2879 2883
2880 2884 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2881 2885 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2882 2886 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2883 2887 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2884 2888 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2885 2889 for more details.
2886 2890
2887 2891 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2888 2892 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2889 2893 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2890 2894 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2891 2895
2892 2896 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2893 2897
2894 2898 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2895 2899 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2896 2900 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2897 2901 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2898 2902 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2899 2903
2900 2904 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2901 2905 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2902 2906 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2903 2907
2904 2908 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2905 2909
2906 2910 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2907 2911
2908 2912 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2909 2913
2910 2914 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2911 2915 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2912 2916 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2913 2917 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2914 2918 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2915 2919
2916 2920 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2917 2921
2918 2922 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2919 2923
2920 2924 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2921 2925 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2922 2926 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2923 2927 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2924 2928 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2925 2929
2926 2930 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2927 2931 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2928 2932 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2929 2933 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2930 2934 take the text parameter.
2931 2935
2932 2936 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2933 2937 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2934 2938 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2935 2939 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2936 2940 pysh profile to include the line
2937 2941
2938 2942 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2939 2943
2940 2944 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2941 2945 delete pysh.py and the line
2942 2946
2943 2947 execfile pysh.py
2944 2948
2945 2949 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2946 2950
2947 2951 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2948 2952 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2949 2953 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2950 2954 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2951 2955 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2952 2956
2953 2957 * pysh.py:
2954 2958
2955 2959 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2956 2960
2957 2961 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2958 2962 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2959 2963 want it can still turn it off.
2960 2964
2961 2965 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2962 2966 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2963 2967 off by default.
2964 2968
2965 2969 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2966 2970 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2967 2971 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2968 2972 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2969 2973 calls.
2970 2974
2971 2975 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2972 2976
2973 2977 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2974 2978 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2975 2979 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2976 2980
2977 2981 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2978 2982
2979 2983 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2980 2984 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2981 2985 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2982 2986 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2983 2987
2984 2988 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2985 2989 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2986 2990 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2987 2991 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2988 2992
2989 2993 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2990 2994
2991 2995 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2992 2996 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2993 2997
2994 2998 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2995 2999 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2996 3000 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2997 3001 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2998 3002 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2999 3003 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
3000 3004 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
3001 3005 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
3002 3006
3003 3007 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3004 3008
3005 3009 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
3006 3010 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
3007 3011 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
3008 3012 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
3009 3013 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3010 3014 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3011 3015 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
3012 3016 add new completers at runtime.
3013 3017
3014 3018 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3015 3019
3016 3020 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
3017 3021 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
3018 3022 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
3019 3023 ? system.
3020 3024
3021 3025 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
3022 3026 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
3023 3027 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
3024 3028 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
3025 3029 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
3026 3030 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
3027 3031 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
3028 3032 conveninent, so not all is lost.
3029 3033
3030 3034 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
3031 3035
3032 3036 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
3033 3037 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
3034 3038 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
3035 3039 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3036 3040 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3037 3041
3038 3042 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
3039 3043 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
3040 3044 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
3041 3045 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
3042 3046 add:
3043 3047
3044 3048 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
3045 3049 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
3046 3050
3047 3051 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3048 3052
3049 3053 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
3050 3054 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
3051 3055 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
3052 3056 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
3053 3057
3054 3058 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
3055 3059 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
3056 3060 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
3057 3061 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
3058 3062 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
3059 3063 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
3060 3064 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
3061 3065 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
3062 3066 further, simply bind them to any other name.
3063 3067
3064 3068 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3065 3069
3066 3070 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
3067 3071 prompt namespace handling.
3068 3072
3069 3073 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3070 3074
3071 3075 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
3072 3076 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
3073 3077 trips the emacs python mode).
3074 3078 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
3075 3079 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
3076 3080 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
3077 3081 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
3078 3082 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
3079 3083 calls will be made at runtime.
3080 3084
3081 3085 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3082 3086
3083 3087 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
3084 3088 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
3085 3089 the call to %history.
3086 3090
3087 3091 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
3088 3092
3089 3093 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3090 3094
3091 3095 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
3092 3096 ipmagic() function calls.
3093 3097
3094 3098 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
3095 3099 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
3096 3100
3097 3101 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3098 3102
3099 3103 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
3100 3104 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
3101 3105 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
3102 3106 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
3103 3107 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
3104 3108 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
3105 3109 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
3106 3110 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
3107 3111
3108 3112 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3109 3113
3110 3114 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
3111 3115 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
3112 3116 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
3113 3117 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
3114 3118 Ville Vainio.
3115 3119
3116 3120 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3117 3121
3118 3122 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
3119 3123 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
3120 3124 define the ones they personally like.
3121 3125
3122 3126 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3123 3127
3124 3128 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
3125 3129 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
3126 3130
3127 3131 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3128 3132
3129 3133 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
3130 3134 into keys (for prompts, for example).
3131 3135
3132 3136 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
3133 3137 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
3134 3138 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
3135 3139 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
3136 3140 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
3137 3141 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
3138 3142 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
3139 3143 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
3140 3144
3141 3145 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
3142 3146 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
3143 3147 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
3144 3148 modified version of the original Debian patch at
3145 3149 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

3148 3152
3149 3153 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
3150 3154 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
3151 3155 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
3152 3156
3153 3157 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
3154 3158 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
3155 3159 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
3156 3160
3157 3161 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
3158 3162
3159 3163 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3160 3164
3161 3165 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
3162 3166 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
3163 3167 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
3164 3168 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
3165 3169 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
3166 3170 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
3167 3171 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
3168 3172 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
3169 3173 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
3170 3174 system is a separate implementation).
3171 3175
3172 3176 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
3173 3177 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
3174 3178 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
3175 3179 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
3176 3180 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
3177 3181 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
3178 3182 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
3179 3183 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
3180 3184 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
3181 3185 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
3182 3186 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
3183 3187
3184 3188 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3185 3189
3186 3190 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
3187 3191 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
3188 3192 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
3189 3193 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
3190 3194 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
3191 3195 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
3192 3196 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
3193 3197 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
3194 3198
3195 3199 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3196 3200
3197 3201 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
3198 3202 previous call produced a syntax error.
3199 3203
3200 3204 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3201 3205 classes without constructor.
3202 3206
3203 3207 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3204 3208
3205 3209 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
3206 3210 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
3207 3211 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
3208 3212 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
3209 3213 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
3210 3214 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
3211 3215 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3212 3216
3213 3217 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3214 3218
3215 3219 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
3216 3220 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
3217 3221
3218 3222 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3219 3223
3220 3224 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
3221 3225 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
3222 3226 optimizations.
3223 3227
3224 3228 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
3225 3229 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
3226 3230
3227 3231 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3228 3232
3229 3233 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
3230 3234 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
3231 3235 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
3232 3236 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
3233 3237 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
3234 3238 avoid annoying the lists further.
3235 3239
3236 3240 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
3237 3241
3238 3242 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3239 3243
3240 3244 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
3241 3245 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
3242 3246 norm definitions.
3243 3247 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
3244 3248 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
3245 3249 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
3246 3250
3247 3251 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
3248 3252 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
3249 3253 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
3250 3254 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
3251 3255 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
3252 3256
3253 3257 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
3254 3258 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
3255 3259 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
3256 3260 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
3257 3261
3258 3262 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
3259 3263 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
3260 3264 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
3261 3265 fixes.
3262 3266
3263 3267 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
3264 3268 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
3265 3269 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
3266 3270 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
3267 3271 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
3268 3272 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
3269 3273 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
3270 3274
3271 3275 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
3272 3276
3273 3277 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3274 3278
3275 3279 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
3276 3280 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
3277 3281 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
3278 3282 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
3279 3283 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
3280 3284 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
3281 3285 Panel.
3282 3286
3283 3287 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
3284 3288 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
3285 3289 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
3286 3290 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
3287 3291 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
3288 3292
3289 3293 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3290 3294
3291 3295 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
3292 3296 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
3293 3297
3294 3298 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
3295 3299
3296 3300 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3297 3301
3298 3302 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
3299 3303 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
3300 3304 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
3301 3305 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
3302 3306 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
3303 3307 python shell.
3304 3308
3305 3309 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
3306 3310 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
3307 3311 on assignments. This closes
3308 3312 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
3309 3313 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
3310 3314 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
3311 3315
3312 3316 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3313 3317
3314 3318 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
3315 3319 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
3316 3320
3317 3321 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
3318 3322
3319 3323 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3320 3324
3321 3325 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
3322 3326 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
3323 3327
3324 3328 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3325 3329
3326 3330 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3327 3331 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
3328 3332 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
3329 3333
3330 3334 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3331 3335
3332 3336 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
3333 3337 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
3334 3338 'parent' object were present on the same line.
3335 3339
3336 3340 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3337 3341
3338 3342 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
3339 3343 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
3340 3344 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
3341 3345
3342 3346 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
3343 3347 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
3344 3348 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
3345 3349
3346 3350 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3347 3351
3348 3352 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
3349 3353 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
3350 3354
3351 3355 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3352 3356
3353 3357 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
3354 3358 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
3355 3359 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
3356 3360
3357 3361 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3358 3362
3359 3363 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
3360 3364 reported by Prabhu.
3361 3365 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
3362 3366 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
3363 3367 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
3364 3368
3365 3369 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
3366 3370 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
3367 3371
3368 3372 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
3369 3373 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
3370 3374 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
3371 3375 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
3372 3376 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
3373 3377 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
3374 3378
3375 3379 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
3376 3380
3377 3381 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3378 3382
3379 3383 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3380 3384 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3381 3385 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3382 3386 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3383 3387
3384 3388 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3385 3389 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3386 3390
3387 3391 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3388 3392 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3389 3393 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3390 3394 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3391 3395 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3392 3396 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3393 3397 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3394 3398
3395 3399 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3396 3400 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3397 3401 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3398 3402
3399 3403 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3400 3404 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3401 3405 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3402 3406 before.
3403 3407
3404 3408 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3405 3409
3406 3410 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3407 3411 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3408 3412 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3409 3413 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3410 3414
3411 3415 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3412 3416 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3413 3417 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3414 3418 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3415 3419 timing very short-running code.
3416 3420
3417 3421 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3418 3422 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3419 3423 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3420 3424 utility.
3421 3425
3422 3426 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3423 3427 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3424 3428 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3425 3429 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3426 3430 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3427 3431 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3428 3432 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3429 3433 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3430 3434
3431 3435 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3432 3436 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3433 3437 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3434 3438
3435 3439 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3436 3440 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3437 3441 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3438 3442 is for).
3439 3443
3440 3444 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3441 3445 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3442 3446 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3443 3447 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3444 3448 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3445 3449
3446 3450 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3447 3451
3448 3452 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3449 3453 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3450 3454 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3451 3455 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3452 3456 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3453 3457
3454 3458 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3455 3459 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3456 3460 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3457 3461 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3458 3462 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3459 3463 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3460 3464
3461 3465 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3462 3466
3463 3467 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3464 3468 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3465 3469
3466 3470 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3467 3471
3468 3472 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3469 3473 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3470 3474 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3471 3475 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3472 3476

3475 3479 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3476 3480
3477 3481 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3478 3482 setting with -d option.
3479 3483
3480 3484 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3481 3485 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3482 3486 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3483 3487 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3484 3488
3485 3489 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3486 3490
3487 3491 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3488 3492 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3489 3493
3490 3494 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3491 3495 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3492 3496 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3493 3497 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3494 3498 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3495 3499 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3496 3500 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3497 3501 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3498 3502 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3499 3503 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3500 3504 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3501 3505
3502 3506 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3503 3507
3504 3508 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3505 3509 cache when empty lines were present.
3506 3510
3507 3511 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3508 3512
3509 3513 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3510 3514 options for WX and GTK.
3511 3515
3512 3516 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3513 3517
3514 3518 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3515 3519 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3516 3520 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3517 3521 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3518 3522 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3519 3523 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3520 3524 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3521 3525
3522 3526 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3523 3527 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3524 3528
3525 3529 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3526 3530
3527 3531 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3528 3532 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3529 3533 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3530 3534 many thanks.
3531 3535
3532 3536 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3533 3537 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3534 3538 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3535 3539
3536 3540 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3537 3541
3538 3542 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3539 3543 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3540 3544 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3541 3545
3542 3546 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3543 3547
3544 3548 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3545 3549
3546 3550 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3547 3551 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3548 3552 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3549 3553
3550 3554 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3551 3555
3552 3556 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3553 3557 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3554 3558
3555 3559 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3556 3560
3557 3561 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3558 3562 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3559 3563 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3560 3564 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3561 3565 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3562 3566 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3563 3567 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3564 3568
3565 3569 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3566 3570
3567 3571 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3568 3572 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3569 3573 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3570 3574 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3571 3575
3572 3576 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3573 3577 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3574 3578
3575 3579 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3576 3580
3577 3581 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3578 3582 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3579 3583
3580 3584 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3581 3585 use throughout ipython.
3582 3586
3583 3587 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3584 3588 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3585 3589
3586 3590 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3587 3591 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3588 3592 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3589 3593 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3590 3594
3591 3595 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3592 3596
3593 3597 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3594 3598 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3595 3599 report by Francesc Alted.
3596 3600
3597 3601 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3598 3602
3599 3603 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3600 3604 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3601 3605
3602 3606 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3603 3607
3604 3608 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3605 3609 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3606 3610 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3607 3611 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3608 3612 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3609 3613 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3610 3614 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3611 3615 correctly set.
3612 3616
3613 3617 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3614 3618
3615 3619 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3616 3620 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3617 3621 import requirement of PEP-328.
3618 3622
3619 3623 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3620 3624 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3621 3625 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3622 3626 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3623 3627
3624 3628 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3625 3629
3626 3630 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3627 3631
3628 3632 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3629 3633 via a normal python function call.
3630 3634
3631 3635 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3632 3636 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3633 3637 2.4.
3634 3638
3635 3639 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3636 3640
3637 3641 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3638 3642 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3639 3643 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3640 3644 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3641 3645 is given to the user).
3642 3646
3643 3647 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3644 3648
3645 3649 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3646 3650 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3647 3651 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3648 3652 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3649 3653
3650 3654 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3651 3655 python 2.2.
3652 3656
3653 3657 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3654 3658 banner arg for embedded customization.
3655 3659
3656 3660 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3657 3661 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3658 3662 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3659 3663 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3660 3664 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3661 3665 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3662 3666
3663 3667 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3664 3668 minor changes to debian dir.
3665 3669
3666 3670 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3667 3671 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3668 3672 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3669 3673 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3670 3674
3671 3675 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3672 3676
3673 3677 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3674 3678 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3675 3679 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3676 3680 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3677 3681 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3678 3682
3679 3683 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3680 3684
3681 3685 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3682 3686 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3683 3687
3684 3688 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3685 3689
3686 3690 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3687 3691 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3688 3692
3689 3693 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3690 3694
3691 3695 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3692 3696
3693 3697 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3694 3698 updated.
3695 3699
3696 3700 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3697 3701
3698 3702 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3699 3703 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3700 3704 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3701 3705 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3702 3706 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3703 3707
3704 3708 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3705 3709 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3706 3710 split regexp. Closes
3707 3711 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3708 3712 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3709 3713 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3710 3714 extensions.
3711 3715
3712 3716 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3713 3717 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3714 3718 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3715 3719 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3716 3720 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3717 3721
3718 3722 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3719 3723 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3720 3724 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3721 3725 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3722 3726
3723 3727 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3724 3728 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3725 3729
3726 3730 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3727 3731 fine-tune banner.
3728 3732
3729 3733 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3730 3734 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3731 3735
3732 3736 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3733 3737
3734 3738 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3735 3739 were missing.
3736 3740
3737 3741 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3738 3742 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3739 3743 valid at the command line.
3740 3744
3741 3745 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3742 3746 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3743 3747
3744 3748 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3745 3749
3746 3750 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3747 3751 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3748 3752 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3749 3753
3750 3754 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3751 3755
3752 3756 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3753 3757 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3754 3758 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3755 3759 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3756 3760 continue to use the standard profiler.
3757 3761
3758 3762 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3759 3763
3760 3764 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3761 3765 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3762 3766 close.
3763 3767
3764 3768 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3765 3769
3766 3770 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3767 3771 in Magic and ultraTB.
3768 3772
3769 3773 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3770 3774
3771 3775 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3772 3776 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3773 3777 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3774 3778 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3775 3779
3776 3780 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3777 3781 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3778 3782 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3779 3783 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3780 3784 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3781 3785 infrastructure in place.
3782 3786
3783 3787 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3784 3788
3785 3789 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3786 3790
3787 3791 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3788 3792 the pylab profile.
3789 3793
3790 3794 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3791 3795
3792 3796 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3793 3797
3794 3798 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3795 3799 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3796 3800 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3797 3801 itself.
3798 3802
3799 3803 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3800 3804 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3801 3805 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3802 3806 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3803 3807 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3804 3808 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3805 3809 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3806 3810 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3807 3811
3808 3812 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3809 3813 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3810 3814
3811 3815 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3812 3816
3813 3817 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3814 3818 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3815 3819 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3816 3820
3817 3821 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3818 3822
3819 3823 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3820 3824 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3821 3825
3822 3826 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3823 3827
3824 3828 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3825 3829
3826 3830 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3827 3831
3828 3832 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3829 3833
3830 3834 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3831 3835 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3832 3836 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3833 3837
3834 3838 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3835 3839
3836 3840 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3837 3841 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3838 3842 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3839 3843 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3840 3844 works.
3841 3845
3842 3846 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3843 3847 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3844 3848 practice.
3845 3849
3846 3850 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3847 3851
3848 3852 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3849 3853 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3850 3854 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).

3852 3856 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3853 3857
3854 3858 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3855 3859 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3856 3860 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3857 3861 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3858 3862
3859 3863 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3860 3864
3861 3865 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3862 3866 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3863 3867 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3864 3868 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3865 3869
3866 3870 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3867 3871
3868 3872 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3869 3873
3870 3874 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3871 3875 fail for any number.
3872 3876 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3873 3877 empty bookmarks.
3874 3878
3875 3879 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3876 3880
3877 3881 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3878 3882
3879 3883 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3880 3884
3881 3885 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3882 3886 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3883 3887
3884 3888 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3885 3889 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3886 3890
3887 3891 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3888 3892
3889 3893 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3890 3894 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3891 3895 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3892 3896 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3893 3897 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3894 3898
3895 3899 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3896 3900
3897 3901 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3898 3902 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3899 3903
3900 3904 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3901 3905
3902 3906 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3903 3907 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3904 3908 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3905 3909 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3906 3910
3907 3911 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3908 3912 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3909 3913 Schmolck.
3910 3914
3911 3915 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3912 3916
3913 3917 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3914 3918
3915 3919 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3916 3920 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3917 3921
3918 3922 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3919 3923 optimizations.
3920 3924
3921 3925 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3922 3926 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3923 3927
3924 3928 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3925 3929 --Started changelog.
3926 3930 --make clear do what it say it does
3927 3931 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3928 3932 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3929 3933 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3930 3934 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3931 3935 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3932 3936 can be done for other cases.
3933 3937 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3934 3938 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3935 3939 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3936 3940
3937 3941 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3938 3942 --added logfile rotation
3939 3943 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3940 3944
3941 3945 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3942 3946 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3943 3947 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3944 3948 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3945 3949 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3946 3950 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3947 3951 --added global logfile option
3948 3952 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3949 3953 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3950 3954
3951 3955 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3952 3956 --added a README
3953 3957 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3954 3958 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3955 3959 bug or feature.
3956 3960 --changed rc file for new behavior
3957 3961
3958 3962 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3959 3963
3960 3964 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3961 3965 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3962 3966 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3963 3967
3964 3968 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3965 3969 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3966 3970
3967 3971 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3968 3972
3969 3973 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3970 3974 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3971 3975 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3972 3976 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3973 3977 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3974 3978 and prepended with a #.
3975 3979
3976 3980 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3977 3981 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3978 3982
3979 3983 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3980 3984
3981 3985 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3982 3986 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3983 3987
3984 3988 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3985 3989
3986 3990 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3987 3991 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3988 3992
3989 3993 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3990 3994
3991 3995 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3992 3996 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3993 3997 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3994 3998
3995 3999 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3996 4000
3997 4001 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3998 4002 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3999 4003
4000 4004 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
4001 4005 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
4002 4006 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
4003 4007 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
4004 4008 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
4005 4009 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
4006 4010 be implemented later).
4007 4011
4008 4012 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
4009 4013 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
4010 4014 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
4011 4015 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
4012 4016
4013 4017 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
4014 4018 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
4015 4019 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
4016 4020
4017 4021 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
4018 4022 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
4019 4023
4020 4024 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
4021 4025 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
4022 4026 readline make it impossible to go further.
4023 4027
4024 4028 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4025 4029
4026 4030 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
4027 4031 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
4028 4032
4029 4033 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4030 4034
4031 4035 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
4032 4036 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
4033 4037 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
4034 4038 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
4035 4039
4036 4040 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
4037 4041 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
4038 4042 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
4039 4043 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
4040 4044
4041 4045 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
4042 4046 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
4043 4047 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
4044 4048 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
4045 4049 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
4046 4050 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
4047 4051 problem.
4048 4052
4049 4053 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
4050 4054 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
4051 4055
4052 4056 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
4053 4057 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
4054 4058 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
4055 4059
4056 4060 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4057 4061
4058 4062 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
4059 4063 continue prompts.
4060 4064
4061 4065 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
4062 4066 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
4063 4067 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
4064 4068 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
4065 4069 byte-compilation saves time.
4066 4070
4067 4071 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4068 4072
4069 4073 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
4070 4074 -NUM', which was recently broken.
4071 4075
4072 4076 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
4073 4077 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
4074 4078
4075 4079 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
4076 4080 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
4077 4081 common cases where it's a problem.
4078 4082
4079 4083 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4080 4084
4081 4085 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
4082 4086 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
4083 4087 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
4084 4088 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
4085 4089 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
4086 4090 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
4087 4091
4088 4092 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4089 4093
4090 4094 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
4091 4095 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
4092 4096
4093 4097 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
4094 4098 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
4095 4099 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
4096 4100 structure as win_exec_ext.
4097 4101
4098 4102 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
4099 4103 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
4100 4104
4101 4105 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
4102 4106 delete aliases.
4103 4107
4104 4108 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
4105 4109 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
4106 4110
4107 4111 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4108 4112
4109 4113 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
4110 4114 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
4111 4115
4112 4116 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4113 4117
4114 4118 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
4115 4119 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
4116 4120
4117 4121 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
4118 4122 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
4119 4123
4120 4124 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
4121 4125 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
4122 4126 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
4123 4127 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
4124 4128 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
4125 4129 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
4126 4130
4127 4131 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
4128 4132 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
4129 4133 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
4130 4134
4131 4135 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
4132 4136 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
4133 4137 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
4134 4138
4135 4139 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
4136 4140 via an extra $. For example:
4137 4141
4138 4142 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
4139 4143
4140 4144 In [8]: !echo $PATH
4141 4145 a python variable
4142 4146
4143 4147 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
4144 4148 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
4145 4149
4146 4150 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
4147 4151 things prematurely.
4148 4152
4149 4153 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
4150 4154 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
4151 4155
4152 4156 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
4153 4157 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
4154 4158 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
4155 4159 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
4156 4160 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
4157 4161 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
4158 4162 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
4159 4163 programs in the user's path is obtained.
4160 4164
4161 4165 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
4162 4166 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
4163 4167 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
4164 4168 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
4165 4169 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
4166 4170 with the old system).
4167 4171
4168 4172 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4169 4173
4170 4174 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
4171 4175 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
4172 4176
4173 4177 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
4174 4178 call to eval.
4175 4179 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
4176 4180 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
4177 4181 in.
4178 4182
4179 4183 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4180 4184
4181 4185 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
4182 4186 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
4183 4187 confusion).
4184 4188
4185 4189 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
4186 4190 check for Windows users.
4187 4191
4188 4192 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
4189 4193 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
4190 4194 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
4191 4195 download it.
4192 4196
4193 4197 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4194 4198
4195 4199 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
4196 4200 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
4197 4201 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
4198 4202 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
4199 4203 of IDLE's out).
4200 4204
4201 4205 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
4202 4206 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
4203 4207 eventually.
4204 4208 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
4205 4209
4206 4210 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4207 4211
4208 4212 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
4209 4213 list of auto-defined aliases.
4210 4214
4211 4215 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4212 4216
4213 4217 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
4214 4218 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
4215 4219 things under Windows).
4216 4220
4217 4221 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4218 4222
4219 4223 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
4220 4224 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
4221 4225 reported by Thorsten.
4222 4226
4223 4227 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4224 4228
4225 4229 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
4226 4230 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
4227 4231 for all examples and the manual as well.
4228 4232
4229 4233 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4230 4234
4231 4235 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
4232 4236 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
4233 4237 inherit from BasePrompt.
4234 4238
4235 4239 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
4236 4240 with python version (since paths are fixed).
4237 4241
4238 4242 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
4239 4243 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
4240 4244 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
4241 4245 defaults.
4242 4246 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
4243 4247 this fix manually!
4244 4248
4245 4249 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
4246 4250 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
4247 4251 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
4248 4252 distutils).
4249 4253
4250 4254 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
4251 4255 usage of new '\D' escape.
4252 4256
4253 4257 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
4254 4258 lacks os.getuid())
4255 4259 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
4256 4260 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
4257 4261 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
4258 4262 handling mechanism.
4259 4263 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
4260 4264 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
4261 4265 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
4262 4266 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
4263 4267 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
4264 4268 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
4265 4269 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
4266 4270
4267 4271 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4268 4272
4269 4273 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
4270 4274 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
4271 4275 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
4272 4276
4273 4277 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
4274 4278 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
4275 4279 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
4276 4280 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
4277 4281 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
4278 4282 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
4279 4283 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
4280 4284 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4281 4285
4282 4286 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
4283 4287 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
4284 4288 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
4285 4289 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
4286 4290 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
4287 4291 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
4288 4292 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
4289 4293 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
4290 4294
4291 4295 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
4292 4296 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
4293 4297 functions uniform.
4294 4298 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
4295 4299
4296 4300 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
4297 4301 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
4298 4302 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
4299 4303 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
4300 4304 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
4301 4305 use to parse their options.
4302 4306
4303 4307 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
4304 4308 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
4305 4309 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
4306 4310
4307 4311 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
4308 4312 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
4309 4313 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
4310 4314 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
4311 4315 via the prompt_specials.
4312 4316
4313 4317 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4314 4318
4315 4319 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
4316 4320 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
4317 4321 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
4318 4322 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
4319 4323 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
4320 4324 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4321 4325 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
4322 4326 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
4323 4327
4324 4328 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4325 4329
4326 4330 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
4327 4331 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
4328 4332 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
4329 4333
4330 4334 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4331 4335
4332 4336 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
4333 4337 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
4334 4338
4335 4339 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4336 4340
4337 4341 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
4338 4342 parens would get passed to the shell.
4339 4343
4340 4344 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4341 4345
4342 4346 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
4343 4347 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
4344 4348
4345 4349 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
4346 4350 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
4347 4351 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
4348 4352 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
4349 4353 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
4350 4354
4351 4355 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
4352 4356 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
4353 4357 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
4354 4358 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
4355 4359
4356 4360 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
4357 4361
4358 4362 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4359 4363
4360 4364 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
4361 4365 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
4362 4366 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4363 4367
4364 4368 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
4365 4369 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
4366 4370 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
4367 4371 official documentation.
4368 4372
4369 4373 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4370 4374
4371 4375 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
4372 4376 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
4373 4377 explicit filename.
4374 4378
4375 4379 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4376 4380
4377 4381 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4378 4382 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4379 4383 case.
4380 4384
4381 4385 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4382 4386 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4383 4387 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4384 4388
4385 4389 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
4386 4390
4387 4391 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4388 4392
4389 4393 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4390 4394 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4391 4395 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4392 4396 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4393 4397 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4394 4398 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4395 4399 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4396 4400 any changes to python proper.
4397 4401
4398 4402 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4399 4403 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4400 4404 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4401 4405 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4402 4406 Schmolck.
4403 4407
4404 4408 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4405 4409
4406 4410 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4407 4411 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4408 4412 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4409 4413 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4410 4414
4411 4415 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4412 4416
4413 4417 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4414 4418 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4415 4419 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4416 4420 name).
4417 4421
4418 4422 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4419 4423 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4420 4424 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4421 4425 Francois Pinard.
4422 4426
4423 4427 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4424 4428
4425 4429 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4426 4430 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4427 4431 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4428 4432 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4429 4433 not work.
4430 4434
4431 4435 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4432 4436
4433 4437 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4434 4438 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4435 4439 distinguishes stdout/err.
4436 4440
4437 4441 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4438 4442 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4439 4443 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4440 4444 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4441 4445 the standard library.
4442 4446
4443 4447 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4444 4448 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4445 4449
4446 4450 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4447 4451 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4448 4452
4449 4453 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4450 4454
4451 4455 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4452 4456 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4453 4457 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4454 4458 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4455 4459 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4456 4460 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4457 4461
4458 4462 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4459 4463
4460 4464 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4461 4465 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4462 4466 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4463 4467 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4464 4468
4465 4469 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4466 4470
4467 4471 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4468 4472 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4469 4473 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4470 4474 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4471 4475
4472 4476 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4473 4477
4474 4478 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4475 4479 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4476 4480 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4477 4481 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4478 4482 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4479 4483 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4480 4484 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4481 4485 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4482 4486
4483 4487 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4484 4488
4485 4489 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4486 4490 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4487 4491
4488 4492 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4489 4493
4490 4494 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4491 4495 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4492 4496 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4493 4497 very short.
4494 4498
4495 4499 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4496 4500
4497 4501 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4498 4502 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4499 4503 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4500 4504 this before making it permanent.
4501 4505
4502 4506 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4503 4507 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4504 4508 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4505 4509 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4506 4510
4507 4511 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4508 4512
4509 4513 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4510 4514 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4511 4515
4512 4516 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4513 4517
4514 4518 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4515 4519 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4516 4520 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4517 4521 cases I've missed.
4518 4522
4519 4523 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4520 4524
4521 4525 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4522 4526 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4523 4527 system would be triggered for @p.
4524 4528
4525 4529 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4526 4530 cleanups, code unmodified.
4527 4531
4528 4532 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4529 4533 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4530 4534 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4531 4535 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4532 4536 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4533 4537 The actual changes affect many files.
4534 4538
4535 4539 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4536 4540
4537 4541 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4538 4542 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4539 4543 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4540 4544
4541 4545 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4542 4546
4543 4547 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4544 4548 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4545 4549
4546 4550 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4547 4551
4548 4552 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4549 4553 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4550 4554 numpy list.
4551 4555
4552 4556 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4553 4557
4554 4558 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4555 4559 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4556 4560 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4557 4561 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4558 4562
4559 4563 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4560 4564
4561 4565 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4562 4566 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4563 4567 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4564 4568 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4565 4569
4566 4570 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4567 4571 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4568 4572
4569 4573 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4570 4574
4571 4575 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4572 4576 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4573 4577 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4574 4578 Collins.
4575 4579
4576 4580 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4577 4581
4578 4582 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4579 4583
4580 4584 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4581 4585 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4582 4586 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4583 4587
4584 4588 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4585 4589
4586 4590 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4587 4591 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4588 4592 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4589 4593 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4590 4594
4591 4595 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4592 4596 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4593 4597 __getitem__ and __call__.
4594 4598
4595 4599 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4596 4600
4597 4601 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4598 4602
4599 4603 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4600 4604 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4601 4605 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4602 4606 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4603 4607
4604 4608 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4605 4609 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4606 4610 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4607 4611 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4608 4612 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4609 4613 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4610 4614 necessary.
4611 4615
4612 4616 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4613 4617 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4614 4618 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4615 4619
4616 4620 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4617 4621 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4618 4622 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4619 4623 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4620 4624
4621 4625 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4622 4626 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4623 4627 generators.
4624 4628
4625 4629 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4626 4630 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4627 4631 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4628 4632 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4629 4633 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4630 4634 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4631 4635 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4632 4636
4633 4637 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4634 4638 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4635 4639 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4636 4640 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4637 4641 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4638 4642
4639 4643 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4640 4644 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4641 4645 edit under some circumstances.
4642 4646 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4643 4647 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4644 4648 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4645 4649 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4646 4650 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4647 4651 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4648 4652 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4649 4653 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4650 4654 need more testing.
4651 4655
4652 4656 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4653 4657
4654 4658 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4655 4659 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4656 4660 and simpler code.
4657 4661
4658 4662 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4659 4663
4660 4664 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4661 4665 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4662 4666 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4663 4667 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4664 4668 even if they were contiguous.
4665 4669 (l1norm): Added this function.
4666 4670 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4667 4671 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4668 4672 and speed.
4669 4673
4670 4674 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4671 4675
4672 4676 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4673 4677 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4674 4678 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4675 4679
4676 4680 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4677 4681
4678 4682 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4679 4683 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4680 4684 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4681 4685
4682 4686 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4683 4687 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4684 4688 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4685 4689
4686 4690 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4687 4691
4688 4692 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4689 4693 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4690 4694 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4691 4695 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4692 4696 activity.
4693 4697
4694 4698 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4695 4699
4696 4700 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4697 4701 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4698 4702 Numeric.identity)
4699 4703
4700 4704 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4701 4705
4702 4706 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4703 4707 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4704 4708 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4705 4709
4706 4710 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4707 4711
4708 4712 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4709 4713 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4710 4714 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4711 4715 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4712 4716
4713 4717 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4714 4718 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4715 4719 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4716 4720 is implemented).
4717 4721
4718 4722 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4719 4723
4720 4724 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4721 4725 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4722 4726 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4723 4727
4724 4728 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4725 4729 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4726 4730 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4727 4731 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4728 4732 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4729 4733
4730 4734 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4731 4735
4732 4736 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4733 4737
4734 4738 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4735 4739 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4736 4740 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4737 4741
4738 4742 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4739 4743
4740 4744 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4741 4745 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4742 4746 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4743 4747
4744 4748 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4745 4749 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4746 4750 crash report from Prabhu.
4747 4751
4748 4752 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4749 4753
4750 4754 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4751 4755 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4752 4756 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4753 4757 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4754 4758 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4755 4759 also be useful in other cases.
4756 4760
4757 4761 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4758 4762 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4759 4763 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4760 4764
4761 4765 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4762 4766
4763 4767 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4764 4768
4765 4769 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4766 4770 installing for a new user under Windows.
4767 4771
4768 4772 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4769 4773
4770 4774 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4771 4775 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4772 4776 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4773 4777 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4774 4778 there.
4775 4779
4776 4780 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4777 4781 info to crash reports.
4778 4782
4779 4783 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4780 4784 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4781 4785 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4782 4786 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4783 4787
4784 4788 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4785 4789
4786 4790 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4787 4791 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4788 4792 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4789 4793 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4790 4794
4791 4795 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4792 4796
4793 4797 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4794 4798 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4795 4799
4796 4800 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4797 4801
4798 4802 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4799 4803 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4800 4804
4801 4805 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4802 4806
4803 4807 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4804 4808
4805 4809 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4806 4810 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4807 4811 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4808 4812
4809 4813 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4810 4814 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4811 4815 with the new auto-indent option.
4812 4816
4813 4817 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4814 4818
4815 4819 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4816 4820 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4817 4821 this class from the main Shell class.
4818 4822
4819 4823 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4820 4824 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4821 4825 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4822 4826 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4823 4827 option).
4824 4828
4825 4829 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4826 4830 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4827 4831 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4828 4832 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4829 4833 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4830 4834
4831 4835 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4832 4836 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4833 4837 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4834 4838
4835 4839 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4836 4840 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4837 4841 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4838 4842 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4839 4843 tracebacks.
4840 4844
4841 4845 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4842 4846 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4843 4847 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>

4845 4849 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4846 4850
4847 4851 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4848 4852 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4849 4853 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4850 4854 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4851 4855
4852 4856 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4853 4857
4854 4858 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4855 4859 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4856 4860 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4857 4861 for the bug report.
4858 4862
4859 4863 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4860 4864
4861 4865 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4862 4866 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4863 4867 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4864 4868 report.
4865 4869
4866 4870 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4867 4871
4868 4872 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4869 4873 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4870 4874 end).
4871 4875
4872 4876 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4873 4877 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4874 4878 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4875 4879
4876 4880 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4877 4881
4878 4882 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4879 4883 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4880 4884 for the patch.
4881 4885
4882 4886 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4883 4887
4884 4888 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4885 4889 functions.
4886 4890
4887 4891 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3

4889 4893 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4890 4894
4891 4895 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4892 4896 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4893 4897 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4894 4898 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4895 4899 private fix.
4896 4900
4897 4901 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4898 4902 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4899 4903 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4900 4904 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4901 4905 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4902 4906 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4903 4907 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4904 4908 fixed for this setup.
4905 4909
4906 4910 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4907 4911 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4908 4912
4909 4913 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2

4911 4915 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4912 4916
4913 4917 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4914 4918 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4915 4919 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4916 4920 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4917 4921 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4918 4922 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4919 4923 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4920 4924 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4921 4925 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4922 4926
4923 4927 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4924 4928 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4925 4929 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.

4927 4931 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4928 4932
4929 4933 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4930 4934
4931 4935 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4932 4936 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4933 4937 pickle-related issue in @run).
4934 4938
4935 4939 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4936 4940
4937 4941 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4938 4942 the autocall option at runtime.
4939 4943 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4940 4944 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4941 4945 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4942 4946 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4943 4947 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4944 4948 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4945 4949 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4946 4950 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4947 4951 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4948 4952 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4949 4953 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4950 4954 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4951 4955 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4952 4956 pickles to save something sensible.
4953 4957
4954 4958 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4955 4959
4956 4960 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4957 4961 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4958 4962 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4959 4963
4960 4964 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4961 4965
4962 4966 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4963 4967 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4964 4968
4965 4969 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4966 4970
4967 4971 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4968 4972 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4969 4973 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4970 4974 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4971 4975
4972 4976 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4973 4977
4974 4978 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4975 4979 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4976 4980 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4977 4981 array is non-contiguous.
4978 4982
4979 4983 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4980 4984
4981 4985 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4982 4986 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4983 4987 executed).
4984 4988 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4985 4989 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4986 4990 output.
4987 4991 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4988 4992 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4989 4993 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4990 4994 changing.
4991 4995
4992 4996 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4993 4997
4994 4998 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4995 4999
4996 5000 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4997 5001 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4998 5002 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4999 5003 are removed only at IPython's exit.
5000 5004 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
5001 5005 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
5002 5006 like a normal command-line.
5003 5007
5004 5008 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
5005 5009 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
5006 5010 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
5007 5011 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
5008 5012
5009 5013 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5010 5014
5011 5015 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
5012 5016 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
5013 5017 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
5014 5018 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
5015 5019
5016 5020 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5017 5021
5018 5022 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
5019 5023 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
5020 5024 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
5021 5025 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
5022 5026 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
5023 5027 think it's worth doing.
5024 5028
5025 5029 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
5026 5030
5027 5031 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5028 5032
5029 5033 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
5030 5034 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
5031 5035
5032 5036 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
5033 5037 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
5034 5038 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
5035 5039 also work ok.
5036 5040
5037 5041 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
5038 5042
5039 5043 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5040 5044
5041 5045 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
5042 5046
5043 5047 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
5044 5048 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
5045 5049 of gnuplot data files.
5046 5050
5047 5051 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5048 5052
5049 5053 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
5050 5054 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
5051 5055
5052 5056 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5053 5057
5054 5058 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
5055 5059 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
5056 5060 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
5057 5061 for pointing this out.
5058 5062
5059 5063 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5060 5064
5061 5065 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
5062 5066
5063 5067 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
5064 5068 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
5065 5069 Interactive.
5066 5070
5067 5071 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
5068 5072 being imported from iplib.
5069 5073
5070 5074 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
5071 5075 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
5072 5076 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
5073 5077 common name.
5074 5078
5075 5079 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
5076 5080 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
5077 5081
5078 5082 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
5079 5083 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
5080 5084
5081 5085 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
5082 5086 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
5083 5087 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
5084 5088 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
5085 5089 docstrings).
5086 5090
5087 5091 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5088 5092
5089 5093 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
5090 5094 (inconsistent with options).
5091 5095
5092 5096 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
5093 5097 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
5094 5098 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
5095 5099 eps output.
5096 5100
5097 5101 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5098 5102
5099 5103 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
5100 5104 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
5101 5105 Pinard.
5102 5106
5103 5107 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5104 5108
5105 5109 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
5106 5110 history file for new users.
5107 5111 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
5108 5112 user running in the .ipython dir.
5109 5113 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
5110 5114 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
5111 5115 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
5112 5116
5113 5117 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
5114 5118 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
5115 5119 consistently.
5116 5120
5117 5121 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
5118 5122 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
5119 5123 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
5120 5124 libraries I don't have access to.
5121 5125
5122 5126 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
5123 5127 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
5124 5128 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
5125 5129 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
5126 5130 report.
5127 5131
5128 5132 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5129 5133
5130 5134 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
5131 5135 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
5132 5136 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
5133 5137 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
5134 5138
5135 5139 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5136 5140
5137 5141 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
5138 5142 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
5139 5143 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
5140 5144 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
5141 5145 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
5142 5146 instance has been created.
5143 5147
5144 5148 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
5145 5149 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
5146 5150 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
5147 5151 dict by hand.
5148 5152
5149 5153 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5150 5154
5151 5155 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
5152 5156 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
5153 5157 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
5154 5158 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
5155 5159 broken.
5156 5160
5157 5161 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
5158 5162 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
5159 5163 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
5160 5164 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
5161 5165
5162 5166 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
5163 5167 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
5164 5168 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
5165 5169 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
5166 5170 is a valid one.
5167 5171
5168 5172 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
5169 5173 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
5170 5174 confirmation to have yes as the default.
5171 5175
5172 5176 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
5173 5177 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
5174 5178 simply leftover junk.
5175 5179
5176 5180 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5177 5181
5178 5182 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
5179 5183 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
5180 5184 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
5181 5185
5182 5186 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
5183 5187 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
5184 5188 exceptions.
5185 5189
5186 5190 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5187 5191
5188 5192 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
5189 5193 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
5190 5194 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
5191 5195 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
5192 5196 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
5193 5197
5194 5198 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
5195 5199 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
5196 5200
5197 5201 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
5198 5202 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
5199 5203 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
5200 5204 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
5201 5205 problem mentioned below.
5202 5206
5203 5207 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5204 5208
5205 5209 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
5206 5210 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
5207 5211
5208 5212 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
5209 5213 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
5210 5214 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
5211 5215 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
5212 5216 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
5213 5217
5214 5218 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
5215 5219 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
5216 5220 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
5217 5221 actual function names.
5218 5222
5219 5223 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
5220 5224 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
5221 5225 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
5222 5226 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
5223 5227 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
5224 5228 really be only function/method names.
5225 5229
5226 5230 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5227 5231
5228 5232 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
5229 5233 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
5230 5234 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
5231 5235
5232 5236 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5233 5237
5234 5238 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
5235 5239 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
5236 5240 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
5237 5241
5238 5242 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
5239 5243 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5240 5244
5241 5245 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
5242 5246 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
5243 5247 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
5244 5248
5245 5249 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
5246 5250 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
5247 5251 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
5248 5252
5249 5253 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
5250 5254 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
5251 5255 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
5252 5256
5253 5257 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5254 5258
5255 5259 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
5256 5260 Gnuplot.File objects.
5257 5261
5258 5262 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5259 5263
5260 5264 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
5261 5265 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
5262 5266 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
5263 5267
5264 5268 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5265 5269
5266 5270 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
5267 5271 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
5268 5272
5269 5273 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
5270 5274 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
5271 5275
5272 5276 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
5273 5277 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
5274 5278
5275 5279 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5276 5280
5277 5281 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
5278 5282 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
5279 5283 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
5280 5284 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
5281 5285
5282 5286 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5283 5287
5284 5288 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
5285 5289 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
5286 5290 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
5287 5291
5288 5292 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5289 5293
5290 5294 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
5291 5295 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
5292 5296 workaround).
5293 5297
5294 5298 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5295 5299
5296 5300 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
5297 5301 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
5298 5302
5299 5303 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5300 5304
5301 5305 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
5302 5306 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
5303 5307
5304 5308 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
5305 5309 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
5306 5310 .strip() is called on it.
5307 5311
5308 5312
5309 5313 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5310 5314
5311 5315 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
5312 5316 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
5313 5317 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
5314 5318
5315 5319 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
5316 5320 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
5317 5321
5318 5322 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
5319 5323 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
5320 5324 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
5321 5325
5322 5326 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5323 5327
5324 5328 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
5325 5329 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
5326 5330 __main__.
5327 5331
5328 5332 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
5329 5333 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
5330 5334
5331 5335 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
5332 5336 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
5333 5337 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
5334 5338 Mathematica behaves.
5335 5339
5336 5340 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5337 5341
5338 5342 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
5339 5343 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
5340 5344
5341 5345 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
5342 5346 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
5343 5347 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
5344 5348
5345 5349 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
5346 5350 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
5347 5351
5348 5352 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5349 5353
5350 5354 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
5351 5355 underflow problems in Numeric.
5352 5356 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
5353 5357 for exact integer powers of 2.
5354 5358
5355 5359 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
5356 5360 properly.
5357 5361
5358 5362 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5359 5363
5360 5364 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
5361 5365 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
5362 5366
5363 5367 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5364 5368
5365 5369 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
5366 5370 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
5367 5371
5368 5372 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5369 5373
5370 5374 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
5371 5375 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
5372 5376 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
5373 5377 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
5374 5378 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
5375 5379 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
5376 5380 times).
5377 5381
5378 5382 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
5379 5383 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
5380 5384 been redirected by user this gets honored.
5381 5385
5382 5386 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5383 5387
5384 5388 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
5385 5389 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5386 5390 embedded code.
5387 5391
5388 5392 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5389 5393 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5390 5394 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5391 5395
5392 5396 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5393 5397 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5394 5398 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5395 5399 less special-casing to remember.
5396 5400
5397 5401 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5398 5402
5399 5403 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5400 5404 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5401 5405 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5402 5406 arg is not a defined object.
5403 5407 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5404 5408 a Mike Heeter idea.
5405 5409
5406 5410 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5407 5411 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5408 5412 interactive use.
5409 5413
5410 5414 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5411 5415 filenames.
5412 5416
5413 5417 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5414 5418
5415 5419 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5416 5420 initialization via another struct.
5417 5421
5418 5422 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5419 5423 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5420 5424
5421 5425 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5422 5426
5423 5427 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5424 5428 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5425 5429 too big).
5426 5430
5427 5431 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5428 5432
5429 5433 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5430 5434 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5431 5435 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5432 5436 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5433 5437
5434 5438 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5435 5439
5436 5440 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5437 5441 macros having broken.
5438 5442
5439 5443 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5440 5444
5441 5445 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5442 5446 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5443 5447 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5444 5448 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5445 5449 not to lists.
5446 5450
5447 5451 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5448 5452
5449 5453 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5450 5454 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5451 5455 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5452 5456
5453 5457 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5454 5458 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5455 5459
5456 5460 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5457 5461 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5458 5462 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5459 5463
5460 5464 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5461 5465 triple-quoted strings.
5462 5466
5463 5467 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5464 5468 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5465 5469 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5466 5470 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5467 5471 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5468 5472 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5469 5473
5470 5474 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5471 5475
5472 5476 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5473 5477 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5474 5478 ultraTB).
5475 5479
5476 5480 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5477 5481
5478 5482 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5479 5483 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5480 5484 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5481 5485 user's 'g' variables).
5482 5486
5483 5487 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5484 5488 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5485 5489 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5486 5490 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5487 5491 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5488 5492 macros.
5489 5493
5490 5494 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5491 5495
5492 5496 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5493 5497 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5494 5498
5495 5499 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5496 5500 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5497 5501 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5498 5502
5499 5503 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5500 5504
5501 5505 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5502 5506 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5503 5507 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5504 5508 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5505 5509 aliases.
5506 5510
5507 5511 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5508 5512
5509 5513 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5510 5514 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5511 5515 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5512 5516 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5513 5517
5514 5518 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5515 5519
5516 5520 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5517 5521 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5518 5522 user-defined functions overrode them.
5519 5523
5520 5524 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5521 5525
5522 5526 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5523 5527 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5524 5528
5525 5529 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5526 5530
5527 5531 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5528 5532 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5529 5533 IPython.
5530 5534
5531 5535 * Released 0.2.13
5532 5536
5533 5537 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5534 5538 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5535 5539 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5536 5540 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5537 5541
5538 5542 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5539 5543
5540 5544 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5541 5545 magic properly formatted for screen.
5542 5546
5543 5547 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5544 5548 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5545 5549
5546 5550 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5547 5551 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5548 5552 etc.)
5549 5553
5550 5554 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5551 5555
5552 5556 * Released 0.2.12
5553 5557
5554 5558 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5555 5559
5556 5560 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5557 5561 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5558 5562 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5559 5563 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5560 5564 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5561 5565 an alias to @run -i.
5562 5566
5563 5567 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5564 5568 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5565 5569
5566 5570 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5567 5571
5568 5572 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5569 5573 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5570 5574 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5571 5575
5572 5576 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5573 5577 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5574 5578 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5575 5579 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5576 5580 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5577 5581 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5578 5582 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5579 5583
5580 5584 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5581 5585
5582 5586 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5583 5587 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5584 5588 printed).
5585 5589
5586 5590 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5587 5591 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5588 5592 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5589 5593
5590 5594 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5591 5595 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5592 5596
5593 5597 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5594 5598 handle magic commands in them.
5595 5599 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5596 5600 ~/mylog' now works.
5597 5601
5598 5602 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5599 5603 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5600 5604
5601 5605 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5602 5606
5603 5607 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5604 5608 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5605 5609
5606 5610 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5607 5611 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5608 5612 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5609 5613 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5610 5614 variables are in the context of an exception.
5611 5615 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5612 5616 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5613 5617
5614 5618 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5615 5619 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5616 5620
5617 5621 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5618 5622
5619 5623 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5620 5624 magics can parse options easier.
5621 5625 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5622 5626 suggested by Chris Hart.
5623 5627 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5624 5628 directory actually is in history.
5625 5629
5626 5630 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5627 5631 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5628 5632 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5629 5633
5630 5634 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5631 5635 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5632 5636 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5633 5637 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5634 5638
5635 5639 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5636 5640
5637 5641 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5638 5642 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5639 5643
5640 5644 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5641 5645 text (was a bug).
5642 5646
5643 5647 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5644 5648
5645 5649 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5646 5650 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5647 5651 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5648 5652
5649 5653 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5650 5654
5651 5655 * Released 0.2.10
5652 5656
5653 5657 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5654 5658
5655 5659 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5656 5660 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5657 5661
5658 5662 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5659 5663
5660 5664 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5661 5665 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5662 5666
5663 5667 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5664 5668
5665 5669 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5666 5670 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5667 5671 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5668 5672 __init__.py)
5669 5673
5670 5674 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5671 5675
5672 5676 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5673 5677 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5674 5678 test for being inside IPython.
5675 5679
5676 5680 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5677 5681 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5678 5682 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5679 5683 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5680 5684
5681 5685 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5682 5686
5683 5687 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5684 5688 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5685 5689 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5686 5690
5687 5691 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5688 5692 embedding example to standard user directory for
5689 5693 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5690 5694
5691 5695 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5692 5696 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5693 5697 hidden global).
5694 5698
5695 5699 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5696 5700 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5697 5701 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5698 5702 case.
5699 5703
5700 5704 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5701 5705
5702 5706 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5703 5707 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5704 5708 start.
5705 5709
5706 5710 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5707 5711 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5708 5712 Numeric or math.
5709 5713
5710 5714 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5711 5715 provided profiles. Now we have:
5712 5716 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5713 5717 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5714 5718 -physics -> same as before
5715 5719
5716 5720 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5717 5721 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5718 5722 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5719 5723 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5720 5724 string adds).
5721 5725
5722 5726 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5723 5727 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5724 5728 line with the gnuplot code).
5725 5729
5726 5730 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5727 5731
5728 5732 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5729 5733 all included files change.
5730 5734
5731 5735 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5732 5736 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5733 5737
5734 5738 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5735 5739 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5736 5740 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5737 5741
5738 5742 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5739 5743 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5740 5744
5741 5745 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5742 5746 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5743 5747
5744 5748 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5745 5749 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5746 5750 now accessible.
5747 5751
5748 5752 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5749 5753 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5750 5754 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5751 5755 removed.
5752 5756 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5753 5757 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5754 5758 don't crash.
5755 5759 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5756 5760 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5757 5761 remains available.
5758 5762
5759 5763 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5760 5764
5761 5765 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5762 5766
5763 5767 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5764 5768
5765 5769 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5766 5770 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5767 5771 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5768 5772 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5769 5773
5770 5774 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5771 5775
5772 5776 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5773 5777 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5774 5778 sync with the output counter.
5775 5779
5776 5780 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5777 5781 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5778 5782
5779 5783 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5780 5784
5781 5785 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5782 5786 readline, fix it back after each call.
5783 5787
5784 5788 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5785 5789 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5786 5790 traceback references are properly deleted.
5787 5791
5788 5792 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5789 5793 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5790 5794
5791 5795 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5792 5796
5793 5797 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5794 5798 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5795 5799 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5796 5800 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5797 5801 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5798 5802 to catch SystemExit).
5799 5803
5800 5804 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5801 5805 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5802 5806 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5803 5807 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5804 5808 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5805 5809 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5806 5810
5807 5811 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5808 5812
5809 5813 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5810 5814 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5811 5815 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5812 5816
5813 5817 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5814 5818 configurable (it should have always been so).
5815 5819
5816 5820 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5817 5821
5818 5822 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5819 5823 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5820 5824 done in a more elegant way.
5821 5825
5822 5826 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5823 5827
5824 5828 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5825 5829 win9x also.
5826 5830
5827 5831 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5828 5832
5829 5833 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5830 5834 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5831 5835
5832 5836 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5833 5837
5834 5838 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5835 5839
5836 5840 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5837 5841 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5838 5842
5839 5843 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5840 5844 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5841 5845
5842 5846 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5843 5847 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5844 5848
5845 5849 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5846 5850 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5847 5851
5848 5852 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5849 5853
5850 5854 * Released 0.2.8
5851 5855
5852 5856 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5853 5857 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5854 5858 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5855 5859 on' so that the first tab completes.
5856 5860 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5857 5861 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5858 5862
5859 5863 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5860 5864 installation.
5861 5865
5862 5866 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5863 5867 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5864 5868
5865 5869 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5866 5870
5867 5871 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5868 5872 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5869 5873 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5870 5874
5871 5875 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5872 5876 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5873 5877
5874 5878 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5875 5879 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5876 5880 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5877 5881 suggestion.
5878 5882
5879 5883 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5880 5884 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5881 5885 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5882 5886
5883 5887 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5884 5888 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5885 5889
5886 5890 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5887 5891
5888 5892 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5889 5893 which properly handles things for windows users.
5890 5894
5891 5895 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5892 5896
5893 5897 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5894 5898 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5895 5899 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5896 5900 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5897 5901 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5898 5902
5899 5903 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5900 5904
5901 5905 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5902 5906
5903 5907 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5904 5908 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5905 5909
5906 5910 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5907 5911
5908 5912 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5909 5913 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5910 5914 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5911 5915 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5912 5916 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5913 5917 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5914 5918
5915 5919 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5916 5920
5917 5921 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5918 5922 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5919 5923
5920 5924 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5921 5925 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5922 5926 cache at 20 values.
5923 5927
5924 5928 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5925 5929 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5926 5930 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5927 5931 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5928 5932
5929 5933 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5930 5934 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5931 5935 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5932 5936 'file show').
5933 5937
5934 5938 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5935 5939 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5936 5940
5937 5941 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5938 5942 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5939 5943 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5940 5944
5941 5945 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5942 5946 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5943 5947 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5944 5948 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5945 5949
5946 5950 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5947 5951 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5948 5952 the prompt strings.
5949 5953
5950 5954 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5951 5955
5952 5956 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5953 5957 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5954 5958
5955 5959 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5956 5960 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5957 5961 either globally or at each call.
5958 5962
5959 5963 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5960 5964 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5961 5965 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5962 5966 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5963 5967
5964 5968 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5965 5969
5966 5970 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5967 5971 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5968 5972
5969 5973 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5970 5974
5971 5975 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5972 5976 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5973 5977 learning some lisp...
5974 5978
5975 5979 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5976 5980
5977 5981 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5978 5982 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5979 5983 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5980 5984 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5981 5985
5982 5986 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5983 5987 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5984 5988 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5985 5989
5986 5990 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5987 5991
5988 5992 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5989 5993 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5990 5994 control to emacs users.
5991 5995
5992 5996 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5993 5997 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5994 5998 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5995 5999 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5996 6000 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5997 6001 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5998 6002
5999 6003 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6000 6004
6001 6005 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
6002 6006
6003 6007 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
6004 6008 @logstate magic was created.
6005 6009
6006 6010 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
6007 6011 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
6008 6012
6009 6013 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6010 6014
6011 6015 * Released 0.2.6.
6012 6016
6013 6017 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
6014 6018 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
6015 6019
6016 6020 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
6017 6021 SciPy.
6018 6022
6019 6023 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
6020 6024 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
6021 6025 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
6022 6026 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
6023 6027 the section on embedding and the example file.
6024 6028
6025 6029 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
6026 6030 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
6027 6031 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
6028 6032
6029 6033 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
6030 6034 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
6031 6035 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
6032 6036
6033 6037 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
6034 6038 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
6035 6039 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
6036 6040 for this to work.
6037 6041
6038 6042 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6039 6043
6040 6044 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
6041 6045 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
6042 6046 well inside Emacs buffers.
6043 6047 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
6044 6048 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
6045 6049 same bug in iplib.
6046 6050
6047 6051 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6048 6052
6049 6053 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
6050 6054 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
6051 6055
6052 6056 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
6053 6057 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
6054 6058 and keeps PyChecker happy).
6055 6059
6056 6060 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
6057 6061 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
6058 6062 display is done.
6059 6063
6060 6064 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
6061 6065 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
6062 6066
6063 6067 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
6064 6068 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
6065 6069 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
6066 6070 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
6067 6071 like in Octave.
6068 6072
6069 6073 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
6070 6074 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
6071 6075
6072 6076 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6073 6077
6074 6078 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
6075 6079 whole file a little.
6076 6080
6077 6081 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
6078 6082 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
6079 6083 end-user distro.
6080 6084
6081 6085 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
6082 6086 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
6083 6087 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
6084 6088
6085 6089 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
6086 6090 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
6087 6091
6088 6092 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
6089 6093 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
6090 6094 for @file.
6091 6095
6092 6096 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
6093 6097 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
6094 6098 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
6095 6099 the code a bit easier.
6096 6100
6097 6101 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
6098 6102 information to crash reports.
6099 6103
6100 6104 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6101 6105
6102 6106 * Released 0.2.5.
6103 6107
6104 6108 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6105 6109
6106 6110 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
6107 6111 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
6108 6112 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
6109 6113
6110 6114 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6111 6115
6112 6116 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
6113 6117 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
6114 6118 have thigs work as expected.
6115 6119
6116 6120 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
6117 6121 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
6118 6122 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
6119 6123 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
6120 6124 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
6121 6125
6122 6126 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
6123 6127 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
6124 6128
6125 6129 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6126 6130
6127 6131 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
6128 6132 user config files with os-native line-endings.
6129 6133
6130 6134 * README and manual updates.
6131 6135
6132 6136 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
6133 6137 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
6134 6138
6135 6139 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
6136 6140 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
6137 6141
6138 6142 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
6139 6143 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
6140 6144 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
6141 6145 extension-less files.
6142 6146
6143 6147 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
6144 6148 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
6145 6149 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
6146 6150
6147 6151 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
6148 6152 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
6149 6153
6150 6154 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
6151 6155 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
6152 6156 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
6153 6157 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
6154 6158 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
6155 6159 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
6156 6160 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
6157 6161 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
6158 6162 least make manually a shortcut.
6159 6163
6160 6164 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
6161 6165 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
6162 6166 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
6163 6167 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
6164 6168 runtime, with @colors.
6165 6169 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
6166 6170 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
6167 6171
6168 6172 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6169 6173
6170 6174 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
6171 6175 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
6172 6176 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
6173 6177 read the startup info.
6174 6178
6175 6179 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6176 6180
6177 6181 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
6178 6182 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
6179 6183 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
6180 6184 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
6181 6185 type the better off we are.
6182 6186 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
6183 6187 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
6184 6188 before.
6185 6189
6186 6190 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6187 6191
6188 6192 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
6189 6193 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
6190 6194 this later.
6191 6195
6192 6196 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6193 6197
6194 6198 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
6195 6199 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
6196 6200 (they can be triggered by imported code).
6197 6201
6198 6202 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6199 6203
6200 6204 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
6201 6205 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
6202 6206 spitting out only offset information as before.
6203 6207 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
6204 6208 programs with command line args inside IPython.
6205 6209
6206 6210 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6207 6211
6208 6212 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
6209 6213 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
6210 6214 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
6211 6215 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
6212 6216 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
6213 6217 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
6214 6218 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
6215 6219 macros.
6216 6220
6217 6221 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6218 6222
6219 6223 * Released 0.2.4.
6220 6224
6221 6225 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
6222 6226 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
6223 6227 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
6224 6228 re-execution.
6225 6229
6226 6230 * Updated manual with recent changes.
6227 6231
6228 6232 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
6229 6233 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
6230 6234 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
6231 6235 documented, of course :)
6232 6236 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
6233 6237 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
6234 6238 __call__ info for callable object instances.
6235 6239
6236 6240 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6237 6241
6238 6242 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
6239 6243 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
6240 6244 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
6241 6245
6242 6246 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6243 6247
6244 6248 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
6245 6249 so I wanted an updated release).
6246 6250
6247 6251 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6248 6252
6249 6253 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
6250 6254 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
6251 6255 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
6252 6256 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
6253 6257 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
6254 6258
6255 6259 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6256 6260
6257 6261 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
6258 6262 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
6259 6263
6260 6264 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6261 6265
6262 6266 * Released 0.2.2.
6263 6267
6264 6268 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
6265 6269 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
6266 6270 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
6267 6271 versions.
6268 6272
6269 6273 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
6270 6274 (MayaVi author).
6271 6275
6272 6276 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6273 6277
6274 6278 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
6275 6279 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
6276 6280 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
6277 6281 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
6278 6282 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
6279 6283
6280 6284 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
6281 6285 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
6282 6286
6283 6287 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6284 6288
6285 6289 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
6286 6290 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
6287 6291 nice, full-blown manual.
6288 6292
6289 6293 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
6290 6294 trivially simple for end-users.
6291 6295
6292 6296 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6293 6297
6294 6298 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
6295 6299 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
6296 6300
6297 6301 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
6298 6302 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
6299 6303
6300 6304 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6301 6305
6302 6306 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
6303 6307 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
6304 6308 people to later upgrade versions.
6305 6309
6306 6310 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
6307 6311 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
6308 6312 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
6309 6313 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
6310 6314 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
6311 6315 SystemExit).
6312 6316
6313 6317 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
6314 6318 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
6315 6319 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
6316 6320 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
6317 6321 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
6318 6322
6319 6323 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
6320 6324 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
6321 6325 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
6322 6326
6323 6327 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6324 6328
6325 6329 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
6326 6330 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
6327 6331
6328 6332 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
6329 6333 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
6330 6334 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
6331 6335 html docs out of it will be found).
6332 6336
6333 6337 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
6334 6338
6335 6339 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
6336 6340 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
6337 6341
6338 6342 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
6339 6343
6340 6344 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
6341 6345 visiting any directory in _dh.
6342 6346
6343 6347 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
6344 6348 it out with numbers.
6345 6349
6346 6350 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6347 6351
6348 6352 * Released 0.1.22
6349 6353
6350 6354 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
6351 6355 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
6352 6356
6353 6357 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
6354 6358 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
6355 6359 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
6356 6360 screen the necessary mail command.
6357 6361
6358 6362 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
6359 6363 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
6360 6364 guess we should at least give them something readable.
6361 6365
6362 6366 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6363 6367
6364 6368 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
6365 6369 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
6366 6370 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
6367 6371 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
6368 6372 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
6369 6373 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
6370 6374 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
6371 6375 its name).
6372 6376
6373 6377 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
6374 6378 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
6375 6379 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
6376 6380 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
6377 6381
6378 6382 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6379 6383
6380 6384 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
6381 6385 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
6382 6386
6383 6387 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
6384 6388 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
6385 6389
6386 6390 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6387 6391 completion of @-starting lines.
6388 6392
6389 6393 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6390 6394 info that other files can read from.
6391 6395
6392 6396 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6393 6397 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6394 6398 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6395 6399 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6396 6400 restores produce less errors.
6397 6401
6398 6402 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6399 6403 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6400 6404 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6401 6405 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6402 6406 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6403 6407
6404 6408 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6405 6409 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6406 6410 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6407 6411 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6408 6412 with this, finally...
6409 6413
6410 6414 * Small documentation updates.
6411 6415
6412 6416 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6413 6417 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6414 6418 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6415 6419
6416 6420 * File renaming:
6417 6421 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6418 6422 ipplib --> iplib
6419 6423 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6420 6424
6421 6425 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6422 6426 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6423 6427 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6424 6428
6425 6429 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6426 6430 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6427 6431 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6428 6432
6429 6433 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6430 6434
6431 6435 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6432 6436 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6433 6437 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6434 6438 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6435 6439
6436 6440 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6437 6441 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6438 6442 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6439 6443
6440 6444 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6441 6445 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6442 6446 road.
6443 6447
6444 6448 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6445 6449 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6446 6450 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6447 6451 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6448 6452
6449 6453 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6450 6454
6451 6455 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6452 6456 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6453 6457 file accordingly.
6454 6458
6455 6459 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6456 6460 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6457 6461 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6458 6462 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6459 6463 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6460 6464 separators and proper padding and justification.
6461 6465
6462 6466 * Released 0.1.20
6463 6467
6464 6468 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6465 6469 copy operation was missing).
6466 6470
6467 6471 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6468 6472 its output is always quite long.
6469 6473
6470 6474 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6471 6475 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6472 6476 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6473 6477 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6474 6478
6475 6479 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6476 6480 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6477 6481 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6478 6482 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6479 6483
6480 6484 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6481 6485
6482 6486 * Released 0.1.19
6483 6487
6484 6488 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6485 6489 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6486 6490
6487 6491 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6488 6492 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6489 6493 comment on 'macros').
6490 6494
6491 6495 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6492 6496
6493 6497 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6494 6498 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6495 6499 statements and takes parameters.
6496 6500
6497 6501 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6498 6502
6499 6503 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6500 6504
6501 6505 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6502 6506
6503 6507 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6504 6508 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6505 6509
6506 6510 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6507 6511 ipythonrc-* samples.
6508 6512
6509 6513 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6510 6514 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6511 6515
6512 6516 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6513 6517 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6514 6518
6515 6519 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6516 6520
6517 6521 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6518 6522 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6519 6523 convention.
6520 6524
6521 6525 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6522 6526 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6523 6527
6524 6528 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6525 6529
6526 6530 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6527 6531 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6528 6532
6529 6533 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6530 6534 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6531 6535 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6532 6536 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6533 6537 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6534 6538 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6535 6539 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6536 6540 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6537 6541 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6538 6542 works.
6539 6543
6540 6544 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6541 6545
6542 6546 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6543 6547 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6544 6548 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6545 6549 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6546 6550 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6547 6551 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6548 6552 all the editors, less does that.
6549 6553
6550 6554 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6551 6555
6552 6556 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6553 6557 crash IPython.
6554 6558
6555 6559 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6556 6560
6557 6561 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6558 6562
6559 6563 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6560 6564 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6561 6565 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6562 6566 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6563 6567 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6564 6568 work in _ofind.
6565 6569
6566 6570 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6567 6571 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6568 6572 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6569 6573 (famous last words).
6570 6574
6571 6575 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6572 6576 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6573 6577 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6574 6578 windows).
6575 6579
6576 6580 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6577 6581 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6578 6582
6579 6583 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6580 6584 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6581 6585 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6582 6586 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6583 6587
6584 6588 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6585 6589 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6586 6590 licences and announce it.
6587 6591
6588 6592 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6589 6593 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6590 6594 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6591 6595 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6592 6596
6593 6597 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6594 6598
6595 6599 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6596 6600 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6597 6601 lists.
6598 6602
6599 6603 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6600 6604 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6601 6605 are ok.
6602 6606
6603 6607 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6604 6608 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6605 6609
6606 6610 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6607 6611 this to Nathan.
6608 6612
6609 6613 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6610 6614
6611 6615 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6612 6616 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6613 6617 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6614 6618
6615 6619 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6616 6620 accepted). Cleaner.
6617 6621
6618 6622 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6619 6623 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6620 6624 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6621 6625 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6622 6626 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6623 6627
6624 6628 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6625 6629
6626 6630 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6627 6631 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6628 6632 history after a log replay.
6629 6633
6630 6634 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6631 6635 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6632 6636 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6633 6637 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6634 6638 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6635 6639 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6636 6640
6637 6641 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6638 6642 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6639 6643 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6640 6644 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6641 6645 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6642 6646
6643 6647 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6644 6648
6645 6649 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6646 6650 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6647 6651 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6648 6652 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6649 6653 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6650 6654 one: cache_size.
6651 6655
6652 6656 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6653 6657 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6654 6658 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6655 6659 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6656 6660
6657 6661 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6658 6662 @ or not).
6659 6663
6660 6664 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6661 6665 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6662 6666 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6663 6667 about licensing).
6664 6668
6665 6669 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6666 6670
6667 6671 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6668 6672 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6669 6673
6670 6674 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6671 6675 screen size for page() operations.
6672 6676
6673 6677 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6674 6678 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6675 6679 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6676 6680 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6677 6681
6678 6682 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6679 6683 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6680 6684 option name tables are clearer.
6681 6685
6682 6686 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6683 6687 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6684 6688 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6685 6689 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6686 6690 was also changed a little to align better.
6687 6691
6688 6692 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6689 6693 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6690 6694
6691 6695 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6692 6696 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6693 6697 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6694 6698
6695 6699 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6696 6700 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6697 6701 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6698 6702 he needs it.
6699 6703
6700 6704 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6701 6705
6702 6706 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6703 6707 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6704 6708 warning on it.
6705 6709
6706 6710 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6707 6711 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6708 6712 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6709 6713 was too long).
6710 6714
6711 6715 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6712 6716 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6713 6717 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6714 6718
6715 6719 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6716 6720 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6717 6721 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6718 6722 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6719 6723 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6720 6724 function for the same task.
6721 6725
6722 6726 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6723 6727
6724 6728 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6725 6729
6726 6730 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6727 6731 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6728 6732 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6729 6733
6730 6734 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6731 6735 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6732 6736 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6733 6737
6734 6738 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6735 6739 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6736 6740 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6737 6741
6738 6742 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6739 6743
6740 6744 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6741 6745
6742 6746 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6743 6747 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6744 6748 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6745 6749
6746 6750 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6747 6751
6748 6752 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6749 6753
6750 6754 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6751 6755
6752 6756 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6753 6757 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6754 6758 maintain.
6755 6759
6756 6760 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6757 6761 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6758 6762 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6759 6763 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6760 6764 compiled and startup is much faster.
6761 6765
6762 6766 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6763 6767 while without messing too much more with the code.
6764 6768
6765 6769 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6766 6770
6767 6771 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6768 6772
6769 6773 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6770 6774 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6771 6775 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6772 6776
6773 6777 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6774 6778 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6775 6779
6776 6780 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6777 6781 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6778 6782 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6779 6783 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6780 6784 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6781 6785 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6782 6786
6783 6787 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6784 6788 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6785 6789
6786 6790 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6787 6791 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6788 6792
6789 6793 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6790 6794 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6791 6795 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6792 6796 excessive.
6793 6797
6794 6798 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6795 6799 types (only first word was displayed).
6796 6800
6797 6801 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6798 6802
6799 6803 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6800 6804
6801 6805 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6802 6806 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6803 6807 travel along many directories.
6804 6808
6805 6809 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6806 6810 arguments with default values.
6807 6811
6808 6812 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6809 6813
6810 6814 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6811 6815 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6812 6816
6813 6817 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6814 6818
6815 6819 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6816 6820 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6817 6821 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6818 6822
6819 6823 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6820 6824
6821 6825 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6822 6826 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6823 6827 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6824 6828 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6825 6829 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6826 6830 purposes.
6827 6831
6828 6832 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6829 6833 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6830 6834 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6831 6835 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6832 6836 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6833 6837 one can simply say
6834 6838 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6835 6839 or even
6836 6840 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6837 6841
6838 6842 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6839 6843 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6840 6844 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6841 6845
6842 6846 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6843 6847 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6844 6848 they were defined in
6845 6849
6846 6850 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6847 6851
6848 6852 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6849 6853 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6850 6854 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6851 6855 these to show the same information.
6852 6856
6853 6857 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6854 6858
6855 6859 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6856 6860 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6857 6861 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6858 6862 backtracked on the whole class!)
6859 6863
6860 6864 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6861 6865 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6862 6866 everything works as before).
6863 6867
6864 6868 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6865 6869 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6866 6870 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6867 6871 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6868 6872
6869 6873 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6870 6874
6871 6875 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6872 6876
6873 6877 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6874 6878 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6875 6879
6876 6880 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6877 6881 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6878 6882 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6879 6883 this later.
6880 6884
6881 6885 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6882 6886
6883 6887 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6884 6888 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6885 6889 line option.
6886 6890
6887 6891 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6888 6892 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6889 6893 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6890 6894 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6891 6895 didn't return a result).
6892 6896
6893 6897 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6894 6898
6895 6899 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6896 6900
6897 6901 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6898 6902 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6899 6903 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6900 6904 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6901 6905
6902 6906 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6903 6907
6904 6908 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6905 6909
6906 6910 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6907 6911 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6908 6912
6909 6913 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6910 6914 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6911 6915 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6912 6916 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6913 6917 in with the next entry:
6914 6918
6915 6919 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6916 6920 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6917 6921 handling.
6918 6922
6919 6923 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6920 6924 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6921 6925 namespace protection and documentation.
6922 6926
6923 6927 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6924 6928
6925 6929 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6926 6930 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6927 6931
6928 6932 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6929 6933
6930 6934 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6931 6935
6932 6936 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6933 6937
6934 6938 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6935 6939 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6936 6940 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6937 6941 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6938 6942 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6939 6943
6940 6944 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6941 6945 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6942 6946 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6943 6947
6944 6948 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6945 6949
6946 6950 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6947 6951 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6948 6952
6949 6953 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6950 6954
6951 6955 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6952 6956
6953 6957 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6954 6958 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6955 6959 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6956 6960 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6957 6961 ScientificPython.
6958 6962
6959 6963 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6960 6964
6961 6965 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6962 6966 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6963 6967 when called with no args.
6964 6968
6965 6969 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6966 6970 closely.
6967 6971
6968 6972 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6969 6973 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6970 6974 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6971 6975 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6972 6976 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6973 6977
6974 6978 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6975 6979
6976 6980 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6977 6981 customizations there and access them via import.
6978 6982
6979 6983 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6980 6984
6981 6985 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6982 6986
6983 6987 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6984 6988 Nathan and Janko.
6985 6989
6986 6990 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6987 6991
6988 6992 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6989 6993 too long.
6990 6994
6991 6995 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6992 6996
6993 6997 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6994 6998 ?sin and sin?
6995 6999 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6996 7000 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6997 7001 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6998 7002 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6999 7003
7000 7004 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7001 7005
7002 7006 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
7003 7007
7004 7008 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
7005 7009 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
7006 7010
7007 7011 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
7008 7012 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
7009 7013 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
7010 7014 me).
7011 7015
7012 7016 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
7013 7017 protected (reasonably).
7014 7018
7015 7019 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
7016 7020 note through it (it was too long).
7017 7021
7018 7022 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
7019 7023 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
7020 7024 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
7021 7025 parameters.
7022 7026
7023 7027
7024 7028 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7025 7029
7026 7030 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
7027 7031 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
7028 7032 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
7029 7033
7030 7034 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
7031 7035 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
7032 7036 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
7033 7037
7034 7038 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
7035 7039
7036 7040 Changes to InteractiveShell:
7037 7041
7038 7042 - Made the usage message a parameter.
7039 7043
7040 7044 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
7041 7045 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
7042 7046 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
7043 7047 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
7044 7048 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
7045 7049 break.
7046 7050
7047 7051 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
7048 7052 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
7049 7053 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
7050 7054 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
7051 7055 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
7052 7056 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
7053 7057
7054 7058 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
7055 7059 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
7056 7060 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
7057 7061 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
7058 7062 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
7059 7063 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
7060 7064 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
7061 7065 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
7062 7066 trick.
7063 7067
7064 7068 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
7065 7069 session restoring.
7066 7070
7067 7071 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
7068 7072 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
7069 7073 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
7070 7074 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
7071 7075 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
7072 7076
7073 7077 * Started ChangeLog.
