1517 1532 enables them to keep running after exceptions that would

1524 1539 IPython crashed. In order to work around this, we can disable the

2 2
3 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
4 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
5 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
6 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
7
3 8 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
4 9 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
5 10 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
6 11 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
7 12
8 13 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
9 14 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
10 15 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
11 16 work.
12 17
13 18 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
14 19
15 20 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
16 21 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
17 22
18 23 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
19 24 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
20 25 author William Stein.
21 26
22 27 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
23 28 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
24 29 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
25 30 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
26 31 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
27 32 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
28 33 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
29 34 objects more easily.
30 35
31 36 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
32 37
33 38 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
34 39 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
35 40 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
36 41 by Jeffrey Collins.
37 42
38 43 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
39 44 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
40 45 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
41 46 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
42 47
43 48 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
44 49 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
45 50 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
46 51 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
47 52
48 53 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
49 54 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
50 55 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
51 56 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
52 57 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
53 58 compatibility)
54 59
55 60 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
56 61 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
57 62 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
58 63
59 64 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
60 65 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
61 66 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
62 67 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
63 68 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
64 69
65 70 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
66 71 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
67 72 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
68 73
69 74 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
70 75 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
71 76 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
72 77 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
73 78 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
74 79 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
75 80 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
76 81
77 82 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
78 83 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
79 84 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
80 85
81 86 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
82 87 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
83 88 it is a real module. Closes #59.
84 89
85 90 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
86 91 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
87 92
88 93 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
89 94
90 95 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
91 96 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
92 97 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
93 98 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
94 99 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
95 100 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
96 101 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
97 102 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
98 103 while running under SAGE.
99 104
100 105 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
101 106
102 107 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
103 108 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
104 109 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
105 110 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
106 111
107 112 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
108 113
109 114 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
110 115 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
111 116 updated.
112 117
113 118 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Clean up of all getters.
114 119 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
115 120 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
116 121 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
117 122 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
118 123
119 124 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
120 125 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
121 126 so more testing is needed...
122 127
123 128 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
124 129
125 130 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
126 131 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
127 132 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
128 133 when doing complex debugging.
129 134 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
130 135 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
131 136 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
132 137 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
133 138
134 139 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
135 140
136 141 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
137 142 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
138 143 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
139 144 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
140 145
141 146 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
142 147
143 148 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
144 149 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
145 150
146 151 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
147 152
148 153 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
149 154 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
150 155 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
151 156 been the one to acquire it.
152 157
153 158 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
154 159
155 160 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
156 161
157 162 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
158 163
159 164 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
160 165 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
161 166 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
162 167
163 168 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
164 169 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
165 170 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
166 171 properly flush the output cache.
167 172
168 173 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
169 174 half-success (and fail explicitly).
170 175
171 176 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
172 177
173 178 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
174 179 are quoted
175 180
176 181 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
177 182
178 183 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
179 184 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
180 185
181 186 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
182 187 separator, since space is legal in path names.
183 188
184 189 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
185 190
186 191 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
187 192 %upgrade magic
188 193
189 194 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
190 195
191 196 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
192 197 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
193 198 reported by Zachary Pincus.
194 199
195 200 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
196 201
197 202 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
198 203 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.

200 205 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
201 206 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
202 207 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
203 208 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
204 209 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
205 210
206 211 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
207 212
208 213 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
209 214 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
210 215
211 216 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
212 217
213 218 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
214 219 Torsten Marek.
215 220
216 221 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
217 222
218 223 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
219 224 line ranges works again.
220 225
221 226 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
222 227
223 228 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
224 229 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
225 230 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking aobut it quite a bit, it may
226 231 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
227 232 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
228 233
229 234 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
230 235 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
231 236 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
232 237 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
233 238 more.
234 239
235 240 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
236 241
237 242 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
238 243 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
239 244
240 245 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
241 246
242 247 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
243 248 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
244 249
245 250 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
246 251
247 252 * Magic.py: %save works again.
248 253
249 254 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
250 255
251 256 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
252 257
253 258 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
254 259 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
255 260 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
256 261
257 262
258 263 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
259 264
260 265 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
261 266 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
262 267 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
263 268 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
264 269
265 270 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
266 271 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
267 272
268 273 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
269 274 contributed by marienz to close
270 275 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
271 276
272 277 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
273 278
274 279 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
275 280
276 281 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
277 282 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
278 283 nonsense.
279 284
280 285 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
281 286
282 287 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
283 288 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
284 289
285 290 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
286 291
287 292 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
288 293
289 294 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
290 295 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
291 296
292 297 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
293 298
294 299 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
295 300 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
296 301 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
297 302 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
298 303 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
299 304 SAGE team.
300 305 (Demo.edit): added and edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
301 306 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
302 307
303 308 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
304 309 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
305 310 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
306 311 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
307 312 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
308 313
309 314 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
310 315
311 316 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
312 317 correctly now (on Linux)
313 318
314 319 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
315 320 warnings
316 321
317 322 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
318 323
319 324 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
320 325
321 326
322 327 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
323 328
324 329 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
325 330 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
326 331 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
327 332 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
328 333 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
329 334 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
330 335 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
331 336 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
332 337
333 338 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
334 339
335 340 * aliases can now be %store'd
336 341
337 342 * path.py move to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
338 343 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
339 344 at __init__.
340 345
341 346 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
342 347 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
343 348
344 349 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
345 350
346 351 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
347 352 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
348 353 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
349 354
350 355 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
351 356
352 357 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
353 358
354 359 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
355 360
356 361 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
357 362 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
358 363 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
359 364 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
360 365
361 366 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
362 367 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
363 368
364 369 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
365 370
366 371 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
367 372 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
368 373 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
369 374 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
370 375
371 376 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
372 377 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
373 378 usage.
374 379
375 380 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
376 381 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
377 382 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
378 383
379 384 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
380 385
381 386 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
382 387 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
383 388
384 389 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
385 390 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
386 391 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
387 392
388 393 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
389 394
390 395 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
391 396
392 397 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
393 398
394 399 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
395 400 are now more helpful:
396 401 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
397 402
398 403 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
399 404
400 405 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
401 406 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
402 407
403 408 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
404 409
405 410 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
406 411 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
407 412
408 413 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
409 414 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
410 415 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
411 416
412 417 * Merged 1071-1076 from banches/0.7.1
413 418
414 419
415 420 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
416 421
417 422 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
418 423 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
419 424
420 425 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
421 426
422 427 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
423 428 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
424 429 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
425 430 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
426 431 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
427 432 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
428 433
429 434 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
430 435
431 436 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
432 437 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
433 438 \python24\scripts).
434 439
435 440 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
436 441 egg.
437 442
438 443 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
439 444
440 445 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
441 446
442 447 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
443 448
444 449 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
445 450
446 451 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
447 452
448 453 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
449 454 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
450 455 \python24\scripts).
451 456
452 457 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
453 458 egg.
454 459
455 460 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
456 461
457 462 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
458 463 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
459 464 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
460 465
461 466 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
462 467 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
463 468 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
464 469 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
465 470
466 471 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
467 472 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
468 473 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
469 474 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
470 475 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
471 476 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
472 477 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
473 478 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
474 479 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
475 480 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
476 481 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
477 482 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
478 483
479 484 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
480 485
481 486 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
482 487 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
483 488 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
484 489 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
485 490
486 491 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
487 492
488 493 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
489 494 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
490 495 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
491 496 importing extensions easy.
492 497
493 498 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
494 499 classes / instances of those classes.
495 500
496 501 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
497 502 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
498 503 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
499 504 the user.
500 505
501 506 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
502 507 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
503 508 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
504 509
505 510 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
506 511
507 512 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
508 513 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
509 514 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
510 515 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
511 516 others may also catch any problems. Also made
512 517 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
513 518 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
514 519 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
515 520 the method.
516 521
517 522 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
518 523
519 524 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
520 525 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
521 526
522 527 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
523 528
524 529 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
525 530 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
526 531 Vivian.
527 532
528 533 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
529 534 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
530 535 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
531 536 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
532 537 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
533 538
534 539 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
535 540
536 541 * Ipython/magic.py:Reverted back to old %edit functionality
537 542 that returns file contents on exit.
538 543
539 544 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
540 545 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
541 546 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
542 547 sc files=ls
543 548 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
544 549 print p,p.mtime
545 550
546 551 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
547 552 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
548 553 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
549 554 instead of syntax error.
550 555
551 556
552 557 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
553 558
554 559 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
555 560 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
556 561 data.
557 562
558 563 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
559 564 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
560 565 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
561 566 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
562 567
563 568 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
564 569 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
565 570 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
566 571 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
567 572 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
568 573 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
569 574
570 575 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
571 576
572 577 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
573 578 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
574 579 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
575 580 current dir.
576 581
577 582 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
578 583 had to create new files.
579 584
580 585 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
581 586 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
582 587 future.
583 588
584 589 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
585 590 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
586 591 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
587 592
588 593
589 594 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
590 595
591 596 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
592 597 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
593 598 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
594 599 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
595 600 later.
596 601
597 602 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
598 603 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
599 604
600 605 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
601 606
602 607 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
603 608 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
604 609 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
605 610 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
606 611 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
607 612 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
608 613
609 614 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
610 615
611 616 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
612 617 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
613 618 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
614 619 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
615 620 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
616 621 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
617 622 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
618 623 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
619 624 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
620 625 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
621 626
622 627 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
623 628 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
624 629 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
625 630 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
626 631
627 632 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
628 633 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
629 634 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to kee doing
630 635 "setup.py install" between changes).
631 636
632 637 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
633 638 if 1:
634 639 !ls
635 640 !!ls
636 641
637 642 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
638 643
639 644 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
640 645 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
641 646 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
642 647 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
643 648
644 649 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
645 650 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
646 651 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
647 652
648 653 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
649 654
650 655 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the the
651 656 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
652 657 win32.
653 658
654 659 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
655 660
656 661 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
657 662
658 663 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
659 664 ready for release.
660 665
661 666 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
662 667 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
663 668 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
664 669 where to copy the info from.
665 670
666 671 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
667 672
668 673 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
669 674 support in the release tools as well.
670 675
671 676 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
672 677
673 678 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
674 679 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
675 680 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
676 681 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
677 682
678 683 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
679 684 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
680 685 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
681 686
682 687 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
683 688 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
684 689
685 690 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
686 691 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
687 692 printer not to work.
688 693
689 694 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
690 695
691 696 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
692 697 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
693 698
694 699 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
695 700
696 701 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
697 702 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
698 703 Moad for help with tracking it down.
699 704
700 705 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
701 706 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
702 707 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
703 708
704 709 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
705 710 Ville's patch.
706 711
707 712 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
708 713
709 714 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
710 715 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
711 716 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
712 717 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
713 718 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
714 719 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
715 720 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
716 721
717 722 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
718 723 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
719 724 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
720 725
721 726 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
722 727
723 728 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
724 729 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
725 730
726 731 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
727 732 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
728 733 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
729 734 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
730 735 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
731 736 twister).
732 737
733 738 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
734 739 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
735 740 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
736 741
737 742 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
738 743 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
739 744 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
740 745 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
741 746 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
742 747 something inside the dis module.
743 748
744 749 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
745 750
746 751 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
747 752 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
748 753 follows the discussion in
749 754 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
750 755
751 756 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
752 757 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
753 758 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
754 759
755 760 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
756 761 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
757 762 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
758 763
759 764 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
760 765 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
761 766 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
762 767 speed up this routine.
763 768
764 769 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
765 770 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
766 771 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
767 772 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
768 773 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
769 774 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
770 775 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
771 776 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
772 777
773 778 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
774 779 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
775 780 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
776 781
777 782 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
778 783 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
779 784 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
780 785 misteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
781 786 setters don't do anything).
782 787
783 788 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
784 789
785 790 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
786 791 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
787 792 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
788 793 falling out of sync...)
789 794
790 795 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
791 796 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
792 797 as loops).
793 798
794 799 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
795 800 win32 system access.
796 801
797 802 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
798 803
799 804 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
800 805 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
801 806 thread-safe.
802 807 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
803 808 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
804 809 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
805 810 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
806 811 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
807 812 can still happen.
808 813 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
809 814 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
810 815 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
811 816 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
812 817 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
813 818 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
814 819 cleanly.
815 820
816 821 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
817 822 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
818 823 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
819 824 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
820 825 users' persisted data.
821 826
822 827 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
823 828 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
824 829 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
825 830 multiline input (such as macros).
826 831
827 832 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
828 833 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
829 834 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
830 835 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
831 836 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
832 837 informative).
833 838
834 839 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
835 840 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
836 841
837 842 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
838 843 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
839 844 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
840 845
841 846 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
842 847 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
843 848 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
844 849 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
845 850 2.3-specific features quite yet).
846 851 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
847 852 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
848 853 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
849 854 details.
850 855
851 856 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
852 857 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
853 858 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
854 859 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
855 860 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
856 861
857 862 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
858 863 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
859 864 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
860 865 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
861 866 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
862 867
863 868 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
864 869 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
865 870 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
866 871 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
867 872 options to %logstart. Closes
868 873 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
869 874 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
870 875
871 876 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
872 877
873 878 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
874 879 better hadnle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
875 880 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
876 881 list:
877 882 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
878 883
879 884 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
880 885
881 886 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
882 887 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
883 888 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
884 889 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
885 890
886 891 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
887 892 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
888 893 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
889 894 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
890 895 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
891 896
892 897 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
893 898 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
894 899 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
895 900 true by default.
896 901
897 902 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
898 903 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
899 904 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
900 905 a special role in the middle of the core code.
901 906
902 907 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
903 908
904 909 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
905 910 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
906 911 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
907 912 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
908 913 version committed).
909 914
910 915 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
911 916 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
912 917 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
913 918 discussion on the user list.
914 919
915 920 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
916 921 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
917 922 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
918 923 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
919 924
920 925 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
921 926
922 927 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
923 928 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
924 929 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
925 930
926 931 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
927 932 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
928 933 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
929 934
930 935 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
931 936 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
932 937 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
933 938 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
934 939 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
935 940 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
936 941 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
937 942 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
938 943 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
939 944 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
940 945 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
941 946 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
942 947 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
943 948 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
944 949 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
945 950 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
946 951 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
947 952 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
948 953 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
949 954 branch refactoring.
950 955
951 956 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
952 957
953 958 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
954 959 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
955 960
956 961 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
957 962 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
958 963 change allows us top properly handle completion with distinct
959 964 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
960 965 worked correctly).
961 966
962 967 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
963 968 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
964 969 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
965 970
966 971 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
967 972
968 973 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
969 974 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
970 975 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
971 976 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
972 977 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
973 978 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
974 979 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
975 980 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
976 981
977 982 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
978 983
979 984 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
980 985 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
981 986 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
982 987 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
983 988 on this.

985 990 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
986 991
987 992 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
988 993 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
989 994 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
990 995 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
991 996 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
992 997
993 998 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
994 999
995 1000 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
996 1001 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
997 1002 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
998 1003 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
999 1004
1000 1005 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1001 1006
1002 1007 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1003 1008 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1004 1009 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1005 1010
1006 1011 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1007 1012
1008 1013 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1009 1014 startup time.
1010 1015
1011 1016 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1012 1017 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1013 1018 it's working in all cases.
1014 1019
1015 1020 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1016 1021 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1017 1022 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1018 1023 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1019 1024 per-search basis.
1020 1025
1021 1026 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1022 1027
1023 1028 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1024 1029 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1025 1030 of a patch by Jorgen.
1026 1031
1027 1032 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1028 1033
1029 1034 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1030 1035 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1031 1036 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1032 1037
1033 1038 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1034 1039
1035 1040 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1036 1041 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1037 1042 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1038 1043 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
1039 1044
1040 1045 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1041 1046
1042 1047 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1043 1048 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1044 1049 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1045 1050 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1046 1051 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1047 1052 implementing this functionality.
1048 1053
1049 1054 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1050 1055
1051 1056 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1052 1057 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1053 1058 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1054 1059 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1055 1060 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1056 1061 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1057 1062 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1058 1063
1059 1064 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1060 1065
1061 1066 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1062 1067 reported by Stephen Walton.
1063 1068
1064 1069 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1065 1070
1066 1071 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1067 1072
1068 1073 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1069 1074 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1070 1075
1071 1076 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1072 1077
1073 1078 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
1074 1079 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
1075 1080
1076 1081 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
1077 1082 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
1078 1083
1079 1084 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1080 1085
1081 1086 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
1082 1087 finishing.
1083 1088
1084 1089 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
1085 1090 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
1086 1091
1087 1092 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
1088 1093 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
1089 1094 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
1090 1095
1091 1096 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
1092 1097 code, handy in general.
1093 1098
1094 1099 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
1095 1100 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
1096 1101 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
1097 1102
1098 1103 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1099 1104
1100 1105 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
1101 1106 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
1102 1107 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
1103 1108 testing, though.
1104 1109 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
1105 1110 like this before...
1106 1111
1107 1112 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
1108 1113 non-dirs in win32 registry.
1109 1114
1110 1115 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
1111 1116 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
1112 1117
1113 1118 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1114 1119
1115 1120 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
1116 1121 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
1117 1122 F. Mantegazza.
1118 1123
1119 1124 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1120 1125
1121 1126 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
1122 1127 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
1123 1128 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
1124 1129
1125 1130 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
1126 1131 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
1127 1132 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
1128 1133 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
1129 1134 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
1130 1135 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
1131 1136
1132 1137 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1133 1138
1134 1139 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
1135 1140 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
1136 1141 beyond readline-based environments.
1137 1142
1138 1143 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1139 1144
1140 1145 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
1141 1146
1142 1147 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
1143 1148 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
1144 1149 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
1145 1150 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
1146 1151 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
1147 1152
1148 1153 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1149 1154
1150 1155 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
1151 1156 contains non-string attribute. Closes
1152 1157 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
1153 1158
1154 1159 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1155 1160
1156 1161 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
1157 1162
1158 1163 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1159 1164
1160 1165 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
1161 1166 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
1162 1167 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
1163 1168 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
1164 1169 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
1165 1170 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
1166 1171
1167 1172 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1168 1173
1169 1174 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
1170 1175
1171 1176 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1172 1177
1173 1178 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
1174 1179 invalid $HOME under win32.
1175 1180
1176 1181 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1177 1182
1178 1183 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
1179 1184 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
1180 1185 simpler and a bit faster.
1181 1186
1182 1187 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
1183 1188 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
1184 1189 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
1185 1190 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
1186 1191 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
1187 1192
1188 1193 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
1189 1194 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
1190 1195 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
1191 1196
1192 1197 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
1193 1198 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
1194 1199
1195 1200 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
1196 1201 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
1197 1202 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
1198 1203 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
1199 1204 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
1200 1205 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
1201 1206 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
1202 1207
1203 1208 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
1204 1209
1205 1210 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
1206 1211
1207 1212 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
1208 1213
1209 1214 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
1210 1215 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
1211 1216
1212 1217 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1213 1218
1214 1219 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
1215 1220 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
1216 1221 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
1217 1222 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
1218 1223 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
1219 1224 for the contribution.
1220 1225
1221 1226 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
1222 1227 slightly modified version of the patch in
1223 1228 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
1224 1229 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
1225 1230 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
1226 1231
1227 1232 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1228 1233
1229 1234 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
1230 1235 I/O a bit more.
1231 1236
1232 1237 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
1233 1238 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
1234 1239
1235 1240 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
1236 1241
1237 1242 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1238 1243
1239 1244 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1240 1245 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
1241 1246 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
1242 1247 readline delimiters configuration to read:
1243 1248
1244 1249 readline_remove_delims -/~
1245 1250
1246 1251
1247 1252 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
1248 1253
1249 1254 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1250 1255
1251 1256 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
1252 1257 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
1253 1258 <eli@gondolin.net>
1254 1259
1255 1260 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1256 1261
1257 1262 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
1258 1263 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
1259 1264
1260 1265 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1261 1266
1262 1267 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
1263 1268 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
1264 1269 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
1265 1270
1266 1271 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1267 1272
1268 1273 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
1269 1274 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
1270 1275
1271 1276 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1272 1277
1273 1278 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
1274 1279 to usage page (invoked with --help).
1275 1280
1276 1281 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
1277 1282 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
1278 1283 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
1279 1284 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
1280 1285 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
1281 1286 for more details.
1282 1287
1283 1288 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
1284 1289 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
1285 1290 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
1286 1291 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
1287 1292
1288 1293 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1289 1294
1290 1295 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
1291 1296 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
1292 1297 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
1293 1298 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
1294 1299 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
1295 1300
1296 1301 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
1297 1302 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
1298 1303 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
1299 1304
1300 1305 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1301 1306
1302 1307 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
1303 1308
1304 1309 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1305 1310
1306 1311 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
1307 1312 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
1308 1313 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
1309 1314 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
1310 1315 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
1311 1316
1312 1317 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
1313 1318
1314 1319 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1315 1320
1316 1321 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
1317 1322 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
1318 1323 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
1319 1324 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
1320 1325 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
1321 1326
1322 1327 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
1323 1328 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
1324 1329 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
1325 1330 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
1326 1331 take the text parameter.
1327 1332
1328 1333 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
1329 1334 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
1330 1335 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
1331 1336 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
1332 1337 pysh profile to include the line
1333 1338
1334 1339 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
1335 1340
1336 1341 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
1337 1342 delete pysh.py and the line
1338 1343
1339 1344 execfile pysh.py
1340 1345
1341 1346 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
1342 1347
1343 1348 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
1344 1349 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
1345 1350 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
1346 1351 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
1347 1352 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
1348 1353
1349 1354 * pysh.py:

1351 1356 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1352 1357
1353 1358 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
1354 1359 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
1355 1360 want it can still turn it off.
1356 1361
1357 1362 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
1358 1363 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
1359 1364 off by default.
1360 1365
1361 1366 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
1362 1367 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
1363 1368 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
1364 1369 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
1365 1370 calls.
1366 1371
1367 1372 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1368 1373
1369 1374 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
1370 1375 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
1371 1376 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
1372 1377
1373 1378 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1374 1379
1375 1380 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
1376 1381 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
1377 1382 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
1378 1383 (including 0) after the ':' character.
1379 1384
1380 1385 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
1381 1386 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
1382 1387 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
1383 1388 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
1384 1389
1385 1390 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1386 1391
1387 1392 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
1388 1393 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
1389 1394
1390 1395 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
1391 1396 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
1392 1397 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
1393 1398 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
1394 1399 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
1395 1400 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
1396 1401 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
1397 1402 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
1398 1403
1399 1404 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1400 1405
1401 1406 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
1402 1407 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
1403 1408 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
1404 1409 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
1405 1410 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1406 1411 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1407 1412 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
1408 1413 add new completers at runtime.
1409 1414
1410 1415 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1411 1416
1412 1417 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
1413 1418 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
1414 1419 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
1415 1420 ? system.
1416 1421
1417 1422 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
1418 1423 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
1419 1424 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
1420 1425 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
1421 1426 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
1422 1427 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
1423 1428 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
1424 1429 conveninent, so not all is lost.
1425 1430
1426 1431 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
1427 1432
1428 1433 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
1429 1434 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
1430 1435 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
1431 1436 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1432 1437 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1433 1438
1434 1439 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
1435 1440 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
1436 1441 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
1437 1442 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
1438 1443 add:
1439 1444
1440 1445 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
1441 1446 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward

1443 1448 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1444 1449
1445 1450 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
1446 1451 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
1447 1452 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
1448 1453 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
1449 1454
1450 1455 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
1451 1456 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
1452 1457 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
1453 1458 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
1454 1459 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
1455 1460 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
1456 1461 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
1457 1462 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
1458 1463 further, simply bind them to any other name.
1459 1464
1460 1465 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1461 1466
1462 1467 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
1463 1468 prompt namespace handling.
1464 1469
1465 1470 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1466 1471
1467 1472 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
1468 1473 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
1469 1474 trips the emacs python mode).
1470 1475 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
1471 1476 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
1472 1477 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
1473 1478 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
1474 1479 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
1475 1480 calls will be made at runtime.
1476 1481
1477 1482 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1478 1483
1479 1484 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
1480 1485 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
1481 1486 the call to %history.
1482 1487
1483 1488 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
1484 1489
1485 1490 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1486 1491
1487 1492 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
1488 1493 ipmagic() function calls.
1489 1494
1490 1495 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
1491 1496 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
1492 1497
1493 1498 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1494 1499
1495 1500 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
1496 1501 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
1497 1502 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
1498 1503 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
1499 1504 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
1500 1505 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
1501 1506 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
1502 1507 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
1503 1508
1504 1509 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1505 1510
1506 1511 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
1507 1512 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
1508 1513 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
1509 1514 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
1510 1515 Ville Vainio.
1511 1516
1512 1517 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1513 1518
1514 1519 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
1515 1520 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
1516 1521 define the ones they personally like.
1517 1522
1518 1523 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1519 1524
1520 1525 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
1521 1526 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
1522 1527
1523 1528 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1524 1529
1525 1530 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
1526 1531 into keys (for prompts, for example).
1527 1532
1528 1533 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
1529 1534 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
1530 1535 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
1531 1536 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
1532 1537 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
1533 1538 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
1534 1539 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
1535 1540 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
1536 1541
1537 1542 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
1538 1543 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
1539 1544 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
1540 1545 modified version of the original Debian patch at
1541 1546 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
1542 1547

1544 1549
1545 1550 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
1546 1551 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
1547 1552 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
1548 1553
1549 1554 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
1550 1555 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
1551 1556 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
1552 1557
1553 1558 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
1554 1559
1555 1560 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1556 1561
1557 1562 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
1558 1563 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
1559 1564 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
1560 1565 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
1561 1566 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
1562 1567 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
1563 1568 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
1564 1569 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
1565 1570 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
1566 1571 system is a separate implementation).
1567 1572
1568 1573 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
1569 1574 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
1570 1575 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
1571 1576 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
1572 1577 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
1573 1578 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
1574 1579 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
1575 1580 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
1576 1581 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
1577 1582 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
1578 1583 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

1580 1585 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1581 1586
1582 1587 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
1583 1588 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
1584 1589 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
1585 1590 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
1586 1591 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
1587 1592 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
1588 1593 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
1589 1594 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).

1591 1596 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1592 1597
1593 1598 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
1594 1599 previous call produced a syntax error.
1595 1600
1596 1601 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
1597 1602 classes without constructor.

1599 1604 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1600 1605
1601 1606 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
1602 1607 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
1603 1608 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
1604 1609 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
1605 1610 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
1606 1611 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
1607 1612 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

1610 1615
1611 1616 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
1612 1617 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
1613 1618
1614 1619 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1615 1620
1616 1621 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
1617 1622 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
1618 1623 optimizations.
1619 1624
1620 1625 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
1621 1626 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
1622 1627
1623 1628 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1624 1629
1625 1630 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
1626 1631 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
1627 1632 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
1628 1633 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
1629 1634 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
1630 1635 avoid annoying the lists further.

1634 1639 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1635 1640
1636 1641 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
1637 1642 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
1638 1643 norm definitions.
1639 1644 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
1640 1645 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
1641 1646 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
1642 1647
1643 1648 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
1644 1649 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
1645 1650 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
1646 1651 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
1647 1652 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
1648 1653
1649 1654 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
1650 1655 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
1651 1656 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
1652 1657 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
1653 1658
1654 1659 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
1655 1660 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
1656 1661 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
1657 1662 fixes.
1658 1663
1659 1664 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
1660 1665 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
1661 1666 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
1662 1667 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
1663 1668 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
1664 1669 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
1665 1670 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

1670 1675
1671 1676 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
1672 1677 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
1673 1678 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
1674 1679 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
1675 1680 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
1676 1681 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
1677 1682 Panel.
1678 1683
1679 1684 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
1680 1685 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
1681 1686 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
1682 1687 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
1683 1688 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.

1687 1692 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
1688 1693 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
1689 1694
1690 1695 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
1691 1696
1692 1697 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1693 1698
1694 1699 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
1695 1700 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
1696 1701 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
1697 1702 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
1698 1703 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
1699 1704 python shell.
1700 1705
1701 1706 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
1702 1707 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
1703 1708 on assignments. This closes
1704 1709 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
1705 1710 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
1706 1711 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
1707 1712
1708 1713 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1709 1714
1710 1715 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
1711 1716 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
1712 1717
1713 1718 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
1714 1719
1715 1720 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1716 1721
1717 1722 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
1718 1723 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
1719 1724
1720 1725 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1721 1726
1722 1727 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
1723 1728 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
1724 1729 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
1725 1730
1726 1731 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1727 1732
1728 1733 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
1729 1734 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
1730 1735 'parent' object were present on the same line.
1731 1736
1732 1737 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1733 1738
1734 1739 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
1735 1740 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
1736 1741 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
1737 1742
1738 1743 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
1739 1744 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
1740 1745 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
1741 1746
1742 1747 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1743 1748
1744 1749 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
1745 1750 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
1746 1751
1747 1752 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1748 1753
1749 1754 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
1750 1755 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
1751 1756 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
1752 1757
1753 1758 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1754 1759
1755 1760 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
1756 1761 reported by Prabhu.
1757 1762 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
1758 1763 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
1759 1764 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
1760 1765
1761 1766 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
1762 1767 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
1763 1768
1764 1769 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
1765 1770 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
1766 1771 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
1767 1772 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
1768 1773 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
1769 1774 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
1770 1775
1771 1776 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
1772 1777
1773 1778 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1774 1779
1775 1780 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
1776 1781 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
1777 1782 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
1778 1783 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
1779 1784
1780 1785 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
1781 1786 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
1782 1787
1783 1788 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
1784 1789 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
1785 1790 typed at the IPython cmd line.
1786 1791 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
1787 1792 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
1788 1793 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
1789 1794 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
1790 1795
1791 1796 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
1792 1797 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
1793 1798 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
1794 1799
1795 1800 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
1796 1801 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
1797 1802 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
1798 1803 before.
1799 1804
1800 1805 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1801 1806
1802 1807 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
1803 1808 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
1804 1809 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
1805 1810 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
1806 1811
1807 1812 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
1808 1813 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
1809 1814 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
1810 1815 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
1811 1816 timing very short-running code.
1812 1817
1813 1818 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
1814 1819 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
1815 1820 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
1816 1821 utility.
1817 1822
1818 1823 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
1819 1824 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
1820 1825 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
1821 1826 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
1822 1827 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
1823 1828 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
1824 1829 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
1825 1830 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
1826 1831
1827 1832 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
1828 1833 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
1829 1834 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
1830 1835
1831 1836 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
1832 1837 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
1833 1838 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
1834 1839 is for).
1835 1840
1836 1841 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
1837 1842 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
1838 1843 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
1839 1844 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
1840 1845 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
1841 1846
1842 1847 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1843 1848
1844 1849 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
1845 1850 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
1846 1851 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
1847 1852 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
1848 1853 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
1849 1854
1850 1855 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
1851 1856 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
1852 1857 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
1853 1858 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
1854 1859 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
1855 1860 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
1856 1861
1857 1862 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1858 1863
1859 1864 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
1860 1865 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
1861 1866
1862 1867 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1863 1868
1864 1869 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
1865 1870 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
1866 1871 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
1867 1872 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
1868 1873
1869 1874 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
1870 1875
1871 1876 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1872 1877
1873 1878 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
1874 1879 setting with -d option.
1875 1880
1876 1881 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
1877 1882 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
1878 1883 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
1879 1884 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
1880 1885
1881 1886 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1882 1887
1883 1888 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
1884 1889 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
1885 1890
1886 1891 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
1887 1892 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
1888 1893 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
1889 1894 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
1890 1895 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
1891 1896 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
1892 1897 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
1893 1898 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
1894 1899 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
1895 1900 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
1896 1901 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
1897 1902
1898 1903 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1899 1904
1900 1905 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
1901 1906 cache when empty lines were present.
1902 1907
1903 1908 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1904 1909
1905 1910 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
1906 1911 options for WX and GTK.
1907 1912
1908 1913 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1909 1914
1910 1915 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
1911 1916 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
1912 1917 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
1913 1918 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
1914 1919 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
1915 1920 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
1916 1921 limitations, this is a great improvement.
1917 1922
1918 1923 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
1919 1924 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
1920 1925
1921 1926 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1922 1927
1923 1928 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
1924 1929 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
1925 1930 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
1926 1931 many thanks.
1927 1932
1928 1933 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
1929 1934 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
1930 1935 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
1931 1936
1932 1937 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1933 1938
1934 1939 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
1935 1940 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
1936 1941 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
1937 1942

1941 1946
1942 1947 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
1943 1948 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
1944 1949 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
1945 1950
1946 1951 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1947 1952
1948 1953 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
1949 1954 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
1950 1955
1951 1956 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1952 1957
1953 1958 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
1954 1959 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
1955 1960 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
1956 1961 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
1957 1962 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
1958 1963 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
1959 1964 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
1960 1965
1961 1966 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1962 1967
1963 1968 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
1964 1969 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
1965 1970 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
1966 1971 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
1967 1972
1968 1973 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
1969 1974 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
1970 1975
1971 1976 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1972 1977
1973 1978 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
1974 1979 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
1975 1980
1976 1981 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
1977 1982 use throughout ipython.
1978 1983
1979 1984 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
1980 1985 OInspect.getdoc() function.
1981 1986
1982 1987 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
1983 1988 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
1984 1989 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
1985 1990 handling cross-thread exceptions).
1986 1991
1987 1992 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1988 1993
1989 1994 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
1990 1995 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
1991 1996 report by Francesc Alted.
1992 1997
1993 1998 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1994 1999
1995 2000 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
1996 2001 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
1997 2002
1998 2003 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1999 2004
2000 2005 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2001 2006 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2002 2007 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2003 2008 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2004 2009 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2005 2010 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2006 2011 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2007 2012 correctly set.
2008 2013
2009 2014 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2010 2015
2011 2016 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2012 2017 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2013 2018 import requirement of PEP-328.
2014 2019
2015 2020 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2016 2021 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2017 2022 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2018 2023 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2019 2024
2020 2025 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2021 2026
2022 2027 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2023 2028
2024 2029 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2025 2030 via a normal python function call.
2026 2031
2027 2032 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2028 2033 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2029 2034 2.4.
2030 2035
2031 2036 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2032 2037
2033 2038 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2034 2039 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2035 2040 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2036 2041 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2037 2042 is given to the user).

2040 2045
2041 2046 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2042 2047 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2043 2048 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2044 2049 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2045 2050
2046 2051 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2047 2052 python 2.2.
2048 2053
2049 2054 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2050 2055 banner arg for embedded customization.
2051 2056
2052 2057 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2053 2058 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2054 2059 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2055 2060 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2056 2061 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2057 2062 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2058 2063
2059 2064 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2060 2065 minor changes to debian dir.
2061 2066
2062 2067 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2063 2068 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2064 2069 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2065 2070 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
2066 2071
2067 2072 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2068 2073
2069 2074 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2070 2075 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
2071 2076 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
2072 2077 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
2073 2078 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
2074 2079
2075 2080 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2076 2081
2077 2082 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
2078 2083 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
2079 2084
2080 2085 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2081 2086
2082 2087 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
2083 2088 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
2084 2089
2085 2090 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
2086 2091
2087 2092 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2088 2093
2089 2094 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
2090 2095 updated.
2091 2096
2092 2097 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2093 2098
2094 2099 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
2095 2100 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
2096 2101 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
2097 2102 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
2098 2103 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
2099 2104
2100 2105 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
2101 2106 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
2102 2107 split regexp. Closes
2103 2108 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
2104 2109 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
2105 2110 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
2106 2111 extensions.
2107 2112
2108 2113 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
2109 2114 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
2110 2115 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
2111 2116 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
2112 2117 for generic code and for matplotlib.
2113 2118
2114 2119 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
2115 2120 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
2116 2121 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
2117 2122 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
2118 2123
2119 2124 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
2120 2125 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
2121 2126
2122 2127 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
2123 2128 fine-tune banner.
2124 2129
2125 2130 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
2126 2131 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
2127 2132
2128 2133 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2129 2134
2130 2135 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
2131 2136 were missing.
2132 2137
2133 2138 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
2134 2139 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
2135 2140 valid at the command line.
2136 2141
2137 2142 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
2138 2143 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
2139 2144
2140 2145 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2141 2146
2142 2147 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
2143 2148 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
2144 2149 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
2145 2150
2146 2151 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2147 2152
2148 2153 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
2149 2154 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
2150 2155 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
2151 2156 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
2152 2157 continue to use the standard profiler.
2153 2158
2154 2159 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2155 2160
2156 2161 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
2157 2162 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
2158 2163 close.
2159 2164
2160 2165 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2161 2166
2162 2167 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
2163 2168 in Magic and ultraTB.
2164 2169
2165 2170 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
2166 2171
2167 2172 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
2168 2173 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
2169 2174 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
2170 2175 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
2171 2176
2172 2177 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
2173 2178 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
2174 2179 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2175 2180 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
2176 2181 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
2177 2182 infrastructure in place.
2178 2183
2179 2184 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2180 2185
2181 2186 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
2182 2187
2183 2188 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
2184 2189 the pylab profile.
2185 2190
2186 2191 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
2187 2192
2188 2193 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2189 2194
2190 2195 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
2191 2196 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
2192 2197 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
2193 2198 itself.
2194 2199
2195 2200 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
2196 2201 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
2197 2202 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
2198 2203 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
2199 2204 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
2200 2205 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
2201 2206 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
2202 2207 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
2203 2208
2204 2209 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
2205 2210 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
2206 2211
2207 2212 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2208 2213
2209 2214 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
2210 2215 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
2211 2216 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2212 2217
2213 2218 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2214 2219
2215 2220 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
2216 2221 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
2217 2222
2218 2223 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2219 2224
2220 2225 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
2221 2226
2222 2227 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
2223 2228
2224 2229 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2225 2230
2226 2231 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
2227 2232 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
2228 2233 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
2229 2234
2230 2235 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2231 2236
2232 2237 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
2233 2238 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
2234 2239 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
2235 2240 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
2236 2241 works.
2237 2242
2238 2243 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
2239 2244 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
2240 2245 practice.
2241 2246
2242 2247 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2243 2248
2244 2249 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
2245 2250 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
2246 2251 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
2247 2252
2248 2253 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2249 2254
2250 2255 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
2251 2256 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
2252 2257 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
2253 2258 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
2254 2259
2255 2260 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2256 2261
2257 2262 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
2258 2263 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
2259 2264 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
2260 2265 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
2261 2266
2262 2267 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
2263 2268
2264 2269 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2265 2270
2266 2271 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
2267 2272 fail for any number.
2268 2273 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
2269 2274 empty bookmarks.
2270 2275
2271 2276 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
2272 2277
2273 2278 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2274 2279
2275 2280 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
2276 2281
2277 2282 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
2278 2283 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
2279 2284
2280 2285 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
2281 2286 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
2282 2287
2283 2288 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2284 2289
2285 2290 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
2286 2291 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
2287 2292 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
2288 2293 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
2289 2294 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
2290 2295
2291 2296 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2292 2297
2293 2298 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
2294 2299 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
2295 2300
2296 2301 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2297 2302
2298 2303 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
2299 2304 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
2300 2305 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
2301 2306 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
2302 2307
2303 2308 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
2304 2309 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
2305 2310 Schmolck.
2306 2311
2307 2312 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2308 2313
2309 2314 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
2310 2315
2311 2316 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
2312 2317 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
2313 2318
2314 2319 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
2315 2320 optimizations.
2316 2321
2317 2322 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
2318 2323 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
2319 2324
2320 2325 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2321 2326 --Started changelog.
2322 2327 --make clear do what it say it does
2323 2328 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
2324 2329 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
2325 2330 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
2326 2331 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
2327 2332 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
2328 2333 can be done for other cases.
2329 2334 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
2330 2335 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
2331 2336 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
2332 2337
2333 2338 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2334 2339 --added logfile rotation
2335 2340 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
2336 2341
2337 2342 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2338 2343 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
2339 2344 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
2340 2345 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
2341 2346 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
2342 2347 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
2343 2348 --added global logfile option
2344 2349 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
2345 2350 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
2346 2351
2347 2352 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2348 2353 --added a README
2349 2354 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
2350 2355 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
2351 2356 bug or feature.
2352 2357 --changed rc file for new behavior
2353 2358
2354 2359 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2355 2360
2356 2361 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
2357 2362 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
2358 2363 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
2359 2364
2360 2365 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
2361 2366 information which was there from Janko's original code:
2362 2367
2363 2368 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
2364 2369
2365 2370 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
2366 2371 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
2367 2372 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
2368 2373 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
2369 2374 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
2370 2375 and prepended with a #.
2371 2376
2372 2377 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
2373 2378 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
2374 2379
2375 2380 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2376 2381
2377 2382 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
2378 2383 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
2379 2384
2380 2385 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2381 2386
2382 2387 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
2383 2388 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
2384 2389
2385 2390 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2386 2391
2387 2392 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
2388 2393 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
2389 2394 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
2390 2395
2391 2396 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2392 2397
2393 2398 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
2394 2399 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
2395 2400
2396 2401 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2397 2402 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
2398 2403 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
2399 2404 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
2400 2405 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
2401 2406 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
2402 2407 be implemented later).
2403 2408
2404 2409 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
2405 2410 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
2406 2411 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
2407 2412 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
2408 2413
2409 2414 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
2410 2415 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
2411 2416 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
2412 2417
2413 2418 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
2414 2419 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
2415 2420
2416 2421 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
2417 2422 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
2418 2423 readline make it impossible to go further.
2419 2424
2420 2425 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2421 2426
2422 2427 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
2423 2428 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
2424 2429
2425 2430 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2426 2431
2427 2432 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
2428 2433 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
2429 2434 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
2430 2435 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
2431 2436
2432 2437 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
2433 2438 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
2434 2439 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
2435 2440 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
2436 2441
2437 2442 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
2438 2443 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
2439 2444 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
2440 2445 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
2441 2446 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
2442 2447 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
2443 2448 problem.
2444 2449
2445 2450 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
2446 2451 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
2447 2452
2448 2453 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
2449 2454 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
2450 2455 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
2451 2456
2452 2457 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2453 2458
2454 2459 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
2455 2460 continue prompts.
2456 2461
2457 2462 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
2458 2463 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
2459 2464 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
2460 2465 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
2461 2466 byte-compilation saves time.
2462 2467
2463 2468 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2464 2469
2465 2470 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
2466 2471 -NUM', which was recently broken.
2467 2472
2468 2473 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
2469 2474 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
2470 2475
2471 2476 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
2472 2477 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
2473 2478 common cases where it's a problem.
2474 2479
2475 2480 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2476 2481
2477 2482 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
2478 2483 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
2479 2484 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
2480 2485 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
2481 2486 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
2482 2487 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
2483 2488
2484 2489 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2485 2490
2486 2491 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
2487 2492 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
2488 2493
2489 2494 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
2490 2495 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
2491 2496 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
2492 2497 structure as win_exec_ext.
2493 2498
2494 2499 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
2495 2500 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
2496 2501
2497 2502 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
2498 2503 delete aliases.
2499 2504
2500 2505 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
2501 2506 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
2502 2507
2503 2508 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2504 2509
2505 2510 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
2506 2511 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
2507 2512
2508 2513 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2509 2514
2510 2515 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
2511 2516 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
2512 2517
2513 2518 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
2514 2519 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
2515 2520
2516 2521 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
2517 2522 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
2518 2523 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
2519 2524 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
2520 2525 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
2521 2526 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
2522 2527
2523 2528 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
2524 2529 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
2525 2530 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
2526 2531
2527 2532 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
2528 2533 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
2529 2534 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
2530 2535
2531 2536 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
2532 2537 via an extra $. For example:
2533 2538
2534 2539 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
2535 2540
2536 2541 In [8]: !echo $PATH
2537 2542 a python variable
2538 2543
2539 2544 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
2540 2545 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
2541 2546
2542 2547 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
2543 2548 things prematurely.
2544 2549
2545 2550 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
2546 2551 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
2547 2552
2548 2553 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
2549 2554 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
2550 2555 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
2551 2556 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
2552 2557 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
2553 2558 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
2554 2559 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
2555 2560 programs in the user's path is obtained.
2556 2561
2557 2562 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
2558 2563 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
2559 2564 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
2560 2565 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
2561 2566 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
2562 2567 with the old system).
2563 2568
2564 2569 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2565 2570
2566 2571 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
2567 2572 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
2568 2573
2569 2574 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
2570 2575 call to eval.
2571 2576 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
2572 2577 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
2573 2578 in.
2574 2579
2575 2580 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2576 2581
2577 2582 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
2578 2583 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
2579 2584 confusion).
2580 2585
2581 2586 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
2582 2587 check for Windows users.
2583 2588
2584 2589 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
2585 2590 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
2586 2591 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
2587 2592 download it.
2588 2593
2589 2594 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2590 2595
2591 2596 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
2592 2597 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
2593 2598 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
2594 2599 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
2595 2600 of IDLE's out).
2596 2601
2597 2602 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
2598 2603 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
2599 2604 eventually.
2600 2605 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
2601 2606
2602 2607 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2603 2608
2604 2609 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
2605 2610 list of auto-defined aliases.
2606 2611
2607 2612 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2608 2613
2609 2614 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
2610 2615 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
2611 2616 things under Windows).
2612 2617
2613 2618 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2614 2619
2615 2620 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
2616 2621 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
2617 2622 reported by Thorsten.
2618 2623
2619 2624 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2620 2625
2621 2626 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
2622 2627 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
2623 2628 for all examples and the manual as well.
2624 2629
2625 2630 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2626 2631
2627 2632 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
2628 2633 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
2629 2634 inherit from BasePrompt.
2630 2635
2631 2636 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
2632 2637 with python version (since paths are fixed).
2633 2638
2634 2639 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
2635 2640 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
2636 2641 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
2637 2642 defaults.
2638 2643 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
2639 2644 this fix manually!
2640 2645
2641 2646 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
2642 2647 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
2643 2648 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
2644 2649 distutils).
2645 2650
2646 2651 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
2647 2652 usage of new '\D' escape.
2648 2653
2649 2654 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
2650 2655 lacks os.getuid())
2651 2656 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
2652 2657 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
2653 2658 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
2654 2659 handling mechanism.
2655 2660 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
2656 2661 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
2657 2662 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
2658 2663 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
2659 2664 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
2660 2665 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
2661 2666 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
2662 2667
2663 2668 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2664 2669
2665 2670 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
2666 2671 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
2667 2672 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
2668 2673
2669 2674 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
2670 2675 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
2671 2676 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
2672 2677 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
2673 2678 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
2674 2679 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
2675 2680 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
2676 2681 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
2677 2682
2678 2683 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
2679 2684 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
2680 2685 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
2681 2686 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
2682 2687 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
2683 2688 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
2684 2689 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
2685 2690 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
2686 2691
2687 2692 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
2688 2693 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
2689 2694 functions uniform.
2690 2695 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
2691 2696
2692 2697 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
2693 2698 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
2694 2699 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
2695 2700 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
2696 2701 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
2697 2702 use to parse their options.
2698 2703
2699 2704 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
2700 2705 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
2701 2706 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
2702 2707
2703 2708 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
2704 2709 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
2705 2710 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
2706 2711 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
2707 2712 via the prompt_specials.
2708 2713
2709 2714 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2710 2715
2711 2716 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
2712 2717 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
2713 2718 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
2714 2719 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
2715 2720 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
2716 2721 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
2717 2722 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
2718 2723 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
2719 2724
2720 2725 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2721 2726
2722 2727 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
2723 2728 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
2724 2729 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
2725 2730
2726 2731 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2727 2732
2728 2733 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
2729 2734 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
2730 2735
2731 2736 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2732 2737
2733 2738 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
2734 2739 parens would get passed to the shell.
2735 2740
2736 2741 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2737 2742
2738 2743 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
2739 2744 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
2740 2745
2741 2746 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
2742 2747 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
2743 2748 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
2744 2749 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
2745 2750 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
2746 2751
2747 2752 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
2748 2753 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
2749 2754 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
2750 2755 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
2751 2756
2752 2757 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0

2756 2761 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
2757 2762 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
2758 2763 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
2759 2764
2760 2765 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
2761 2766 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
2762 2767 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
2763 2768 official documentation.
2764 2769
2765 2770 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2766 2771
2767 2772 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
2768 2773 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
2769 2774 explicit filename.
2770 2775
2771 2776 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2772 2777
2773 2778 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
2774 2779 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
2775 2780 case.
2776 2781
2777 2782 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
2778 2783 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
2779 2784 updated the new_design doc a bit.
2780 2785
2781 2786 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
2782 2787
2783 2788 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2784 2789
2785 2790 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
2786 2791 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
2787 2792 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
2788 2793 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
2789 2794 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
2790 2795 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
2791 2796 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
2792 2797 any changes to python proper.
2793 2798
2794 2799 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
2795 2800 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
2796 2801 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
2797 2802 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
2798 2803 Schmolck.
2799 2804
2800 2805 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2801 2806
2802 2807 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
2803 2808 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
2804 2809 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
2805 2810 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
2806 2811
2807 2812 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2808 2813
2809 2814 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
2810 2815 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
2811 2816 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
2812 2817 name).
2813 2818
2814 2819 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
2815 2820 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
2816 2821 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
2817 2822 Francois Pinard.
2818 2823
2819 2824 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2820 2825
2821 2826 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
2822 2827 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
2823 2828 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
2824 2829 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
2825 2830 not work.
2826 2831
2827 2832 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2828 2833
2829 2834 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
2830 2835 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
2831 2836 distinguishes stdout/err.
2832 2837
2833 2838 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
2834 2839 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
2835 2840 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
2836 2841 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
2837 2842 the standard library.
2838 2843
2839 2844 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
2840 2845 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
2841 2846
2842 2847 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
2843 2848 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
2844 2849
2845 2850 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2846 2851
2847 2852 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
2848 2853 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
2849 2854 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
2850 2855 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
2851 2856 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
2852 2857 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
2853 2858
2854 2859 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2855 2860
2856 2861 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
2857 2862 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
2858 2863 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
2859 2864 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
2860 2865
2861 2866 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2862 2867
2863 2868 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
2864 2869 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
2865 2870 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
2866 2871 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
2867 2872
2868 2873 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2869 2874
2870 2875 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
2871 2876 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
2872 2877 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
2873 2878 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
2874 2879 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
2875 2880 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
2876 2881 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
2877 2882 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
2878 2883
2879 2884 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2880 2885
2881 2886 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
2882 2887 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
2883 2888
2884 2889 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2885 2890
2886 2891 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
2887 2892 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
2888 2893 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
2889 2894 very short.
2890 2895
2891 2896 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2892 2897
2893 2898 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
2894 2899 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
2895 2900 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
2896 2901 this before making it permanent.
2897 2902
2898 2903 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
2899 2904 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
2900 2905 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
2901 2906 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
2902 2907
2903 2908 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2904 2909
2905 2910 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
2906 2911 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
2907 2912
2908 2913 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2909 2914
2910 2915 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
2911 2916 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
2912 2917 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
2913 2918 cases I've missed.
2914 2919
2915 2920 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2916 2921
2917 2922 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
2918 2923 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
2919 2924 system would be triggered for @p.
2920 2925
2921 2926 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
2922 2927 cleanups, code unmodified.
2923 2928
2924 2929 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
2925 2930 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
2926 2931 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
2927 2932 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
2928 2933 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
2929 2934 The actual changes affect many files.
2930 2935
2931 2936 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2932 2937
2933 2938 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
2934 2939 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
2935 2940 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
2936 2941
2937 2942 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2938 2943
2939 2944 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
2940 2945 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
2941 2946
2942 2947 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2943 2948
2944 2949 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
2945 2950 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
2946 2951 numpy list.
2947 2952
2948 2953 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2949 2954
2950 2955 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
2951 2956 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
2952 2957 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
2953 2958 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
2954 2959
2955 2960 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2956 2961
2957 2962 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
2958 2963 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
2959 2964 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
2960 2965 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
2961 2966
2962 2967 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
2963 2968 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
2964 2969
2965 2970 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2966 2971
2967 2972 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
2968 2973 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
2969 2974 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
2970 2975 Collins.
2971 2976
2972 2977 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
2973 2978
2974 2979 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2975 2980
2976 2981 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
2977 2982 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
2978 2983 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
2979 2984
2980 2985 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2981 2986
2982 2987 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
2983 2988 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
2984 2989 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
2985 2990 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
2986 2991
2987 2992 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
2988 2993 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
2989 2994 __getitem__ and __call__.
2990 2995
2991 2996 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
2992 2997
2993 2998 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2994 2999
2995 3000 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
2996 3001 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
2997 3002 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
2998 3003 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
2999 3004
3000 3005 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3001 3006 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3002 3007 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3003 3008 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3004 3009 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3005 3010 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3006 3011 necessary.
3007 3012
3008 3013 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3009 3014 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3010 3015 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3011 3016
3012 3017 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3013 3018 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3014 3019 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3015 3020 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3016 3021
3017 3022 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3018 3023 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3019 3024 generators.
3020 3025
3021 3026 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3022 3027 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3023 3028 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3024 3029 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3025 3030 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3026 3031 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3027 3032 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3028 3033
3029 3034 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3030 3035 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3031 3036 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3032 3037 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3033 3038 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3034 3039
3035 3040 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3036 3041 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3037 3042 edit under some circumstances.
3038 3043 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3039 3044 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3040 3045 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3041 3046 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3042 3047 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3043 3048 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3044 3049 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3045 3050 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3046 3051 need more testing.
3047 3052
3048 3053 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3049 3054
3050 3055 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3051 3056 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3052 3057 and simpler code.
3053 3058
3054 3059 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3055 3060
3056 3061 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3057 3062 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3058 3063 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3059 3064 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3060 3065 even if they were contiguous.
3061 3066 (l1norm): Added this function.
3062 3067 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3063 3068 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3064 3069 and speed.
3065 3070
3066 3071 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3067 3072
3068 3073 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3069 3074 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3070 3075 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
3071 3076
3072 3077 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3073 3078
3074 3079 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
3075 3080 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
3076 3081 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
3077 3082
3078 3083 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
3079 3084 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
3080 3085 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
3081 3086
3082 3087 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3083 3088
3084 3089 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
3085 3090 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
3086 3091 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
3087 3092 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
3088 3093 activity.
3089 3094
3090 3095 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3091 3096
3092 3097 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
3093 3098 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
3094 3099 Numeric.identity)
3095 3100
3096 3101 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3097 3102
3098 3103 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
3099 3104 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
3100 3105 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
3101 3106
3102 3107 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3103 3108
3104 3109 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
3105 3110 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
3106 3111 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
3107 3112 ipython behaves like normal python does.
3108 3113
3109 3114 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
3110 3115 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
3111 3116 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
3112 3117 is implemented).

3114 3119 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3115 3120
3116 3121 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
3117 3122 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
3118 3123 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
3119 3124
3120 3125 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
3121 3126 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
3122 3127 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
3123 3128 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
3124 3129 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
3125 3130
3126 3131 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
3127 3132
3128 3133 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3129 3134
3130 3135 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
3131 3136 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
3132 3137 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
3133 3138
3134 3139 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3135 3140
3136 3141 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
3137 3142 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
3138 3143 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
3139 3144
3140 3145 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
3141 3146 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
3142 3147 crash report from Prabhu.
3143 3148
3144 3149 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3145 3150
3146 3151 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
3147 3152 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
3148 3153 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
3149 3154 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3150 3155 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
3151 3156 also be useful in other cases.
3152 3157
3153 3158 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
3154 3159 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
3155 3160 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3156 3161
3157 3162 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
3158 3163
3159 3164 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3160 3165
3161 3166 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
3162 3167 installing for a new user under Windows.
3163 3168
3164 3169 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3165 3170
3166 3171 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
3167 3172 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
3168 3173 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
3169 3174 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
3170 3175 there.
3171 3176
3172 3177 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
3173 3178 info to crash reports.
3174 3179
3175 3180 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
3176 3181 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
3177 3182 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
3178 3183 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
3179 3184
3180 3185 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3181 3186
3182 3187 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
3183 3188 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
3184 3189 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
3185 3190 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
3186 3191
3187 3192 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3188 3193
3189 3194 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
3190 3195 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
3191 3196
3192 3197 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3193 3198
3194 3199 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
3195 3200 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
3196 3201
3197 3202 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
3198 3203
3199 3204 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3200 3205
3201 3206 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
3202 3207 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
3203 3208 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
3204 3209
3205 3210 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
3206 3211 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
3207 3212 with the new auto-indent option.
3208 3213
3209 3214 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3210 3215
3211 3216 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
3212 3217 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
3213 3218 this class from the main Shell class.
3214 3219
3215 3220 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
3216 3221 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
3217 3222 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
3218 3223 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
3219 3224 option).
3220 3225
3221 3226 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
3222 3227 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
3223 3228 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
3224 3229 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
3225 3230 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
3226 3231
3227 3232 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
3228 3233 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
3229 3234 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3230 3235
3231 3236 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
3232 3237 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
3233 3238 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
3234 3239 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
3235 3240 tracebacks.
3236 3241
3237 3242 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
3238 3243 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
3239 3244 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
3240 3245
3241 3246 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3242 3247
3243 3248 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
3244 3249 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
3245 3250 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
3246 3251 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
3247 3252
3248 3253 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3249 3254
3250 3255 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
3251 3256 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
3252 3257 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
3253 3258 for the bug report.
3254 3259
3255 3260 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3256 3261
3257 3262 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
3258 3263 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
3259 3264 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
3260 3265 report.
3261 3266
3262 3267 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3263 3268
3264 3269 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
3265 3270 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
3266 3271 end).
3267 3272
3268 3273 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
3269 3274 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
3270 3275 too often, or I would have heard about it.
3271 3276
3272 3277 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3273 3278
3274 3279 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
3275 3280 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
3276 3281 for the patch.
3277 3282
3278 3283 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3279 3284
3280 3285 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
3281 3286 functions.
3282 3287
3283 3288 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
3284 3289
3285 3290 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3286 3291
3287 3292 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
3288 3293 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
3289 3294 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
3290 3295 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
3291 3296 private fix.
3292 3297
3293 3298 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
3294 3299 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
3295 3300 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
3296 3301 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
3297 3302 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
3298 3303 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
3299 3304 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
3300 3305 fixed for this setup.
3301 3306
3302 3307 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
3303 3308 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
3304 3309
3305 3310 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
3306 3311
3307 3312 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3308 3313
3309 3314 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
3310 3315 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
3311 3316 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
3312 3317 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
3313 3318 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
3314 3319 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
3315 3320 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
3316 3321 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
3317 3322 annoying bug is finally fixed.
3318 3323
3319 3324 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
3320 3325 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3321 3326 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
3322 3327
3323 3328 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
3324 3329
3325 3330 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3326 3331
3327 3332 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
3328 3333 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
3329 3334 pickle-related issue in @run).
3330 3335
3331 3336 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3332 3337
3333 3338 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
3334 3339 the autocall option at runtime.
3335 3340 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
3336 3341 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
3337 3342 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
3338 3343 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
3339 3344 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
3340 3345 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
3341 3346 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
3342 3347 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
3343 3348 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
3344 3349 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
3345 3350 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
3346 3351 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
3347 3352 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
3348 3353 pickles to save something sensible.
3349 3354
3350 3355 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
3351 3356
3352 3357 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
3353 3358 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
3354 3359 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
3355 3360
3356 3361 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3357 3362
3358 3363 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
3359 3364 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
3360 3365
3361 3366 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
3362 3367
3363 3368 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
3364 3369 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
3365 3370 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
3366 3371 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
3367 3372
3368 3373 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3369 3374
3370 3375 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
3371 3376 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
3372 3377 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
3373 3378 array is non-contiguous.
3374 3379
3375 3380 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3376 3381
3377 3382 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
3378 3383 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
3379 3384 executed).
3380 3385 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
3381 3386 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
3382 3387 output.
3383 3388 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
3384 3389 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
3385 3390 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
3386 3391 changing.
3387 3392
3388 3393 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
3389 3394
3390 3395 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3391 3396
3392 3397 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
3393 3398 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
3394 3399 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
3395 3400 are removed only at IPython's exit.
3396 3401 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
3397 3402 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
3398 3403 like a normal command-line.
3399 3404
3400 3405 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
3401 3406 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
3402 3407 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
3403 3408 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
3404 3409
3405 3410 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3406 3411
3407 3412 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
3408 3413 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
3409 3414 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
3410 3415 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
3411 3416
3412 3417 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3413 3418
3414 3419 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
3415 3420 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
3416 3421 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
3417 3422 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
3418 3423 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
3419 3424 think it's worth doing.

3423 3428 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3424 3429
3425 3430 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
3426 3431 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
3427 3432
3428 3433 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
3429 3434 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
3430 3435 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
3431 3436 also work ok.

3435 3440 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3436 3441
3437 3442 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
3438 3443
3439 3444 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
3440 3445 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
3441 3446 of gnuplot data files.
3442 3447
3443 3448 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3444 3449
3445 3450 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
3446 3451 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
3447 3452
3448 3453 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3449 3454
3450 3455 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
3451 3456 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
3452 3457 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
3453 3458 for pointing this out.
3454 3459
3455 3460 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3456 3461
3457 3462 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
3458 3463
3459 3464 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
3460 3465 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
3461 3466 Interactive.
3462 3467
3463 3468 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
3464 3469 being imported from iplib.
3465 3470
3466 3471 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
3467 3472 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
3468 3473 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
3469 3474 common name.
3470 3475
3471 3476 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
3472 3477 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
3473 3478
3474 3479 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
3475 3480 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
3476 3481
3477 3482 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
3478 3483 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
3479 3484 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
3480 3485 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
3481 3486 docstrings).
3482 3487
3483 3488 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3484 3489
3485 3490 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
3486 3491 (inconsistent with options).
3487 3492
3488 3493 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
3489 3494 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
3490 3495 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
3491 3496 eps output.
3492 3497
3493 3498 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3494 3499
3495 3500 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
3496 3501 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
3497 3502 Pinard.
3498 3503
3499 3504 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3500 3505
3501 3506 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
3502 3507 history file for new users.
3503 3508 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
3504 3509 user running in the .ipython dir.
3505 3510 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
3506 3511 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
3507 3512 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
3508 3513
3509 3514 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
3510 3515 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
3511 3516 consistently.
3512 3517
3513 3518 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
3514 3519 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
3515 3520 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
3516 3521 libraries I don't have access to.
3517 3522
3518 3523 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
3519 3524 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
3520 3525 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
3521 3526 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
3522 3527 report.
3523 3528
3524 3529 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3525 3530
3526 3531 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
3527 3532 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
3528 3533 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
3529 3534 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
3530 3535
3531 3536 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3532 3537
3533 3538 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
3534 3539 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
3535 3540 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
3536 3541 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
3537 3542 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
3538 3543 instance has been created.
3539 3544
3540 3545 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
3541 3546 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
3542 3547 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
3543 3548 dict by hand.
3544 3549
3545 3550 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3546 3551
3547 3552 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
3548 3553 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
3549 3554 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
3550 3555 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
3551 3556 broken.
3552 3557
3553 3558 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
3554 3559 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
3555 3560 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
3556 3561 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
3557 3562
3558 3563 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
3559 3564 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
3560 3565 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
3561 3566 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
3562 3567 is a valid one.
3563 3568
3564 3569 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
3565 3570 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
3566 3571 confirmation to have yes as the default.
3567 3572
3568 3573 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
3569 3574 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
3570 3575 simply leftover junk.
3571 3576
3572 3577 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3573 3578
3574 3579 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
3575 3580 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
3576 3581 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
3577 3582
3578 3583 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
3579 3584 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
3580 3585 exceptions.
3581 3586
3582 3587 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3583 3588
3584 3589 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
3585 3590 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
3586 3591 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
3587 3592 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
3588 3593 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
3589 3594
3590 3595 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
3591 3596 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
3592 3597
3593 3598 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
3594 3599 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
3595 3600 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
3596 3601 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
3597 3602 problem mentioned below.
3598 3603
3599 3604 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3600 3605
3601 3606 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
3602 3607 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
3603 3608
3604 3609 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
3605 3610 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
3606 3611 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
3607 3612 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
3608 3613 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
3609 3614
3610 3615 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
3611 3616 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
3612 3617 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
3613 3618 actual function names.
3614 3619
3615 3620 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
3616 3621 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
3617 3622 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
3618 3623 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
3619 3624 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
3620 3625 really be only function/method names.
3621 3626
3622 3627 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3623 3628
3624 3629 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
3625 3630 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
3626 3631 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
3627 3632
3628 3633 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3629 3634
3630 3635 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
3631 3636 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
3632 3637 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
3633 3638
3634 3639 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
3635 3640 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3636 3641
3637 3642 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
3638 3643 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
3639 3644 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
3640 3645
3641 3646 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
3642 3647 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
3643 3648 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
3644 3649
3645 3650 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
3646 3651 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
3647 3652 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
3648 3653
3649 3654 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3650 3655
3651 3656 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
3652 3657 Gnuplot.File objects.
3653 3658
3654 3659 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3655 3660
3656 3661 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
3657 3662 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
3658 3663 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
3659 3664
3660 3665 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3661 3666
3662 3667 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
3663 3668 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
3664 3669
3665 3670 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
3666 3671 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
3667 3672
3668 3673 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
3669 3674 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
3670 3675
3671 3676 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3672 3677
3673 3678 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
3674 3679 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
3675 3680 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
3676 3681 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
3677 3682
3678 3683 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3679 3684
3680 3685 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
3681 3686 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
3682 3687 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
3683 3688
3684 3689 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3685 3690
3686 3691 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
3687 3692 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
3688 3693 workaround).
3689 3694
3690 3695 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3691 3696
3692 3697 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
3693 3698 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
3694 3699
3695 3700 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3696 3701
3697 3702 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
3698 3703 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
3699 3704
3700 3705 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
3701 3706 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
3702 3707 .strip() is called on it.
3703 3708
3704 3709
3705 3710 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3706 3711
3707 3712 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
3708 3713 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
3709 3714 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
3710 3715
3711 3716 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
3712 3717 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
3713 3718
3714 3719 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
3715 3720 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
3716 3721 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
3717 3722
3718 3723 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3719 3724
3720 3725 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
3721 3726 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
3722 3727 __main__.
3723 3728
3724 3729 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
3725 3730 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
3726 3731
3727 3732 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
3728 3733 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
3729 3734 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
3730 3735 Mathematica behaves.
3731 3736
3732 3737 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3733 3738
3734 3739 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
3735 3740 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
3736 3741
3737 3742 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
3738 3743 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
3739 3744 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
3740 3745
3741 3746 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
3742 3747 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
3743 3748
3744 3749 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3745 3750
3746 3751 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
3747 3752 underflow problems in Numeric.
3748 3753 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
3749 3754 for exact integer powers of 2.
3750 3755
3751 3756 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
3752 3757 properly.
3753 3758
3754 3759 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3755 3760
3756 3761 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
3757 3762 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
3758 3763
3759 3764 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3760 3765
3761 3766 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
3762 3767 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
3763 3768
3764 3769 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3765 3770
3766 3771 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
3767 3772 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
3768 3773 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
3769 3774 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
3770 3775 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
3771 3776 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
3772 3777 times).
3773 3778
3774 3779 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
3775 3780 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
3776 3781 been redirected by user this gets honored.
3777 3782
3778 3783 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3779 3784
3780 3785 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
3781 3786 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
3782 3787 embedded code.
3783 3788
3784 3789 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
3785 3790 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
3786 3791 PYTHONSTARTUP.
3787 3792
3788 3793 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
3789 3794 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
3790 3795 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
3791 3796 less special-casing to remember.
3792 3797
3793 3798 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3794 3799
3795 3800 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
3796 3801 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
3797 3802 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
3798 3803 arg is not a defined object.
3799 3804 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
3800 3805 a Mike Heeter idea.
3801 3806
3802 3807 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
3803 3808 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
3804 3809 interactive use.
3805 3810
3806 3811 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
3807 3812 filenames.
3808 3813
3809 3814 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3810 3815
3811 3816 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
3812 3817 initialization via another struct.
3813 3818
3814 3819 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
3815 3820 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
3816 3821
3817 3822 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3818 3823
3819 3824 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
3820 3825 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
3821 3826 too big).
3822 3827
3823 3828 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3824 3829
3825 3830 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
3826 3831 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
3827 3832 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
3828 3833 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.

3830 3835 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3831 3836
3832 3837 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
3833 3838 macros having broken.
3834 3839
3835 3840 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3836 3841
3837 3842 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
3838 3843 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
3839 3844 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
3840 3845 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
3841 3846 not to lists.
3842 3847
3843 3848 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3844 3849
3845 3850 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
3846 3851 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
3847 3852 classes needs some serious overhauling.
3848 3853
3849 3854 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
3850 3855 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
3851 3856
3852 3857 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
3853 3858 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
3854 3859 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
3855 3860
3856 3861 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
3857 3862 triple-quoted strings.
3858 3863
3859 3864 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
3860 3865 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
3861 3866 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
3862 3867 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
3863 3868 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
3864 3869 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
3865 3870
3866 3871 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3867 3872
3868 3873 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
3869 3874 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
3870 3875 ultraTB).
3871 3876
3872 3877 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3873 3878
3874 3879 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
3875 3880 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
3876 3881 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
3877 3882 user's 'g' variables).
3878 3883
3879 3884 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
3880 3885 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
3881 3886 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
3882 3887 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
3883 3888 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
3884 3889 macros.
3885 3890
3886 3891 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3887 3892
3888 3893 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
3889 3894 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
3890 3895
3891 3896 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
3892 3897 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
3893 3898 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
3894 3899
3895 3900 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3896 3901
3897 3902 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
3898 3903 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
3899 3904 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
3900 3905 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
3901 3906 aliases.
3902 3907
3903 3908 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3904 3909
3905 3910 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
3906 3911 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
3907 3912 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
3908 3913 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
3909 3914
3910 3915 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3911 3916
3912 3917 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
3913 3918 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
3914 3919 user-defined functions overrode them.
3915 3920
3916 3921 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3917 3922
3918 3923 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
3919 3924 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
3920 3925
3921 3926 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3922 3927
3923 3928 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
3924 3929 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
3925 3930 IPython.
3926 3931
3927 3932 * Released 0.2.13
3928 3933
3929 3934 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
3930 3935 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
3931 3936 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
3932 3937 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
3933 3938
3934 3939 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3935 3940
3936 3941 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
3937 3942 magic properly formatted for screen.
3938 3943
3939 3944 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
3940 3945 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
3941 3946
3942 3947 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
3943 3948 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
3944 3949 etc.)
3945 3950
3946 3951 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3947 3952
3948 3953 * Released 0.2.12
3949 3954
3950 3955 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3951 3956
3952 3957 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
3953 3958 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
3954 3959 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
3955 3960 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
3956 3961 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
3957 3962 an alias to @run -i.
3958 3963
3959 3964 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
3960 3965 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
3961 3966
3962 3967 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
3963 3968
3964 3969 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
3965 3970 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
3966 3971 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
3967 3972
3968 3973 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
3969 3974 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
3970 3975 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
3971 3976 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
3972 3977 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
3973 3978 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
3974 3979 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
3975 3980
3976 3981 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3977 3982
3978 3983 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
3979 3984 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
3980 3985 printed).
3981 3986
3982 3987 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
3983 3988 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
3984 3989 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
3985 3990
3986 3991 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
3987 3992 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
3988 3993
3989 3994 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
3990 3995 handle magic commands in them.
3991 3996 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
3992 3997 ~/mylog' now works.
3993 3998
3994 3999 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
3995 4000 '/' would be completed as magic names.
3996 4001
3997 4002 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3998 4003
3999 4004 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4000 4005 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4001 4006
4002 4007 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4003 4008 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4004 4009 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4005 4010 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4006 4011 variables are in the context of an exception.
4007 4012 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4008 4013 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4009 4014
4010 4015 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4011 4016 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4012 4017
4013 4018 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4014 4019
4015 4020 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4016 4021 magics can parse options easier.
4017 4022 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4018 4023 suggested by Chris Hart.
4019 4024 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4020 4025 directory actually is in history.
4021 4026
4022 4027 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4023 4028 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4024 4029 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4025 4030
4026 4031 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4027 4032 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4028 4033 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4029 4034 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4030 4035
4031 4036 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4032 4037
4033 4038 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4034 4039 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4035 4040
4036 4041 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4037 4042 text (was a bug).
4038 4043
4039 4044 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4040 4045
4041 4046 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4042 4047 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4043 4048 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4044 4049
4045 4050 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4046 4051
4047 4052 * Released 0.2.10
4048 4053
4049 4054 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4050 4055
4051 4056 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4052 4057 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4053 4058
4054 4059 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4055 4060
4056 4061 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4057 4062 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4058 4063
4059 4064 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4060 4065
4061 4066 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4062 4067 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4063 4068 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4064 4069 __init__.py)
4065 4070
4066 4071 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4067 4072
4068 4073 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4069 4074 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4070 4075 test for being inside IPython.
4071 4076
4072 4077 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
4073 4078 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
4074 4079 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
4075 4080 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
4076 4081
4077 4082 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4078 4083
4079 4084 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
4080 4085 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
4081 4086 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
4082 4087
4083 4088 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
4084 4089 embedding example to standard user directory for
4085 4090 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
4086 4091
4087 4092 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
4088 4093 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
4089 4094 hidden global).
4090 4095
4091 4096 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
4092 4097 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
4093 4098 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
4094 4099 case.
4095 4100
4096 4101 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4097 4102
4098 4103 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
4099 4104 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
4100 4105 start.
4101 4106
4102 4107 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
4103 4108 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
4104 4109 Numeric or math.
4105 4110
4106 4111 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
4107 4112 provided profiles. Now we have:
4108 4113 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
4109 4114 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
4110 4115 -physics -> same as before
4111 4116
4112 4117 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
4113 4118 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
4114 4119 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
4115 4120 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
4116 4121 string adds).
4117 4122
4118 4123 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
4119 4124 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
4120 4125 line with the gnuplot code).
4121 4126
4122 4127 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4123 4128
4124 4129 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
4125 4130 all included files change.
4126 4131
4127 4132 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
4128 4133 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
4129 4134
4130 4135 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
4131 4136 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
4132 4137 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
4133 4138
4134 4139 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
4135 4140 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
4136 4141
4137 4142 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
4138 4143 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
4139 4144
4140 4145 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
4141 4146 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
4142 4147 now accessible.
4143 4148
4144 4149 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
4145 4150 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
4146 4151 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
4147 4152 removed.
4148 4153 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
4149 4154 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
4150 4155 don't crash.
4151 4156 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
4152 4157 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
4153 4158 remains available.
4154 4159
4155 4160 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4156 4161
4157 4162 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
4158 4163
4159 4164 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4160 4165
4161 4166 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
4162 4167 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
4163 4168 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
4164 4169 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
4165 4170
4166 4171 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4167 4172
4168 4173 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
4169 4174 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
4170 4175 sync with the output counter.
4171 4176
4172 4177 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
4173 4178 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
4174 4179
4175 4180 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4176 4181
4177 4182 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
4178 4183 readline, fix it back after each call.
4179 4184
4180 4185 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
4181 4186 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
4182 4187 traceback references are properly deleted.
4183 4188
4184 4189 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
4185 4190 improve printing when pprint is in use.
4186 4191
4187 4192 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4188 4193
4189 4194 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
4190 4195 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
4191 4196 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
4192 4197 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
4193 4198 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
4194 4199 to catch SystemExit).
4195 4200
4196 4201 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
4197 4202 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
4198 4203 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
4199 4204 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
4200 4205 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
4201 4206 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
4202 4207
4203 4208 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4204 4209
4205 4210 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
4206 4211 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
4207 4212 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
4208 4213
4209 4214 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
4210 4215 configurable (it should have always been so).
4211 4216
4212 4217 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4213 4218
4214 4219 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
4215 4220 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
4216 4221 done in a more elegant way.
4217 4222
4218 4223 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4219 4224
4220 4225 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
4221 4226 win9x also.
4222 4227
4223 4228 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4224 4229
4225 4230 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
4226 4231 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
4227 4232
4228 4233 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4229 4234
4230 4235 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
4231 4236
4232 4237 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
4233 4238 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
4234 4239
4235 4240 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
4236 4241 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
4237 4242
4238 4243 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
4239 4244 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
4240 4245
4241 4246 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
4242 4247 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
4243 4248
4244 4249 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4245 4250
4246 4251 * Released 0.2.8
4247 4252
4248 4253 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
4249 4254 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
4250 4255 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
4251 4256 on' so that the first tab completes.
4252 4257 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
4253 4258 quotes breaking many magic commands.
4254 4259
4255 4260 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
4256 4261 installation.
4257 4262
4258 4263 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
4259 4264 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
4260 4265
4261 4266 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4262 4267
4263 4268 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
4264 4269 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
4265 4270 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
4266 4271
4267 4272 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
4268 4273 setting __name__=='__main__'.
4269 4274
4270 4275 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
4271 4276 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
4272 4277 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
4273 4278 suggestion.
4274 4279
4275 4280 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
4276 4281 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
4277 4282 Baecker for pointing this to me.
4278 4283
4279 4284 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
4280 4285 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
4281 4286
4282 4287 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4283 4288
4284 4289 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
4285 4290 which properly handles things for windows users.
4286 4291
4287 4292 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4288 4293
4289 4294 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
4290 4295 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
4291 4296 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
4292 4297 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
4293 4298 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
4294 4299
4295 4300 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
4296 4301
4297 4302 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4298 4303
4299 4304 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
4300 4305 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
4301 4306
4302 4307 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4303 4308
4304 4309 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
4305 4310 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
4306 4311 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
4307 4312 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
4308 4313 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
4309 4314 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
4310 4315
4311 4316 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4312 4317
4313 4318 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
4314 4319 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
4315 4320
4316 4321 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
4317 4322 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
4318 4323 cache at 20 values.
4319 4324
4320 4325 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
4321 4326 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
4322 4327 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
4323 4328 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
4324 4329
4325 4330 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
4326 4331 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
4327 4332 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
4328 4333 'file show').
4329 4334
4330 4335 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
4331 4336 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
4332 4337
4333 4338 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
4334 4339 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
4335 4340 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
4336 4341
4337 4342 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
4338 4343 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
4339 4344 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
4340 4345 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
4341 4346
4342 4347 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
4343 4348 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
4344 4349 the prompt strings.
4345 4350
4346 4351 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4347 4352
4348 4353 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
4349 4354 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
4350 4355
4351 4356 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
4352 4357 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
4353 4358 either globally or at each call.
4354 4359
4355 4360 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
4356 4361 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
4357 4362 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
4358 4363 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
4359 4364
4360 4365 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4361 4366
4362 4367 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
4363 4368 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
4364 4369
4365 4370 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
4366 4371
4367 4372 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
4368 4373 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
4369 4374 learning some lisp...
4370 4375
4371 4376 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4372 4377
4373 4378 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
4374 4379 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
4375 4380 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
4376 4381 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
4377 4382
4378 4383 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
4379 4384 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
4380 4385 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
4381 4386
4382 4387 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4383 4388
4384 4389 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
4385 4390 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
4386 4391 control to emacs users.
4387 4392
4388 4393 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
4389 4394 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
4390 4395 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
4391 4396 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
4392 4397 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
4393 4398 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
4394 4399
4395 4400 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4396 4401
4397 4402 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
4398 4403
4399 4404 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
4400 4405 @logstate magic was created.
4401 4406
4402 4407 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
4403 4408 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
4404 4409
4405 4410 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4406 4411
4407 4412 * Released 0.2.6.
4408 4413
4409 4414 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
4410 4415 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
4411 4416
4412 4417 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
4413 4418 SciPy.
4414 4419
4415 4420 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
4416 4421 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
4417 4422 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
4418 4423 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
4419 4424 the section on embedding and the example file.
4420 4425
4421 4426 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
4422 4427 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
4423 4428 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
4424 4429
4425 4430 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
4426 4431 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
4427 4432 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
4428 4433
4429 4434 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
4430 4435 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
4431 4436 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
4432 4437 for this to work.
4433 4438
4434 4439 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4435 4440
4436 4441 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
4437 4442 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
4438 4443 well inside Emacs buffers.
4439 4444 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
4440 4445 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
4441 4446 same bug in iplib.
4442 4447
4443 4448 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4444 4449
4445 4450 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
4446 4451 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
4447 4452
4448 4453 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
4449 4454 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
4450 4455 and keeps PyChecker happy).
4451 4456
4452 4457 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
4453 4458 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
4454 4459 display is done.
4455 4460
4456 4461 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
4457 4462 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
4458 4463
4459 4464 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
4460 4465 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
4461 4466 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
4462 4467 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
4463 4468 like in Octave.
4464 4469
4465 4470 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
4466 4471 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
4467 4472
4468 4473 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4469 4474
4470 4475 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
4471 4476 whole file a little.
4472 4477
4473 4478 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
4474 4479 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
4475 4480 end-user distro.
4476 4481
4477 4482 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
4478 4483 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
4479 4484 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
4480 4485
4481 4486 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
4482 4487 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
4483 4488
4484 4489 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
4485 4490 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
4486 4491 for @file.
4487 4492
4488 4493 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
4489 4494 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
4490 4495 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
4491 4496 the code a bit easier.
4492 4497
4493 4498 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
4494 4499 information to crash reports.
4495 4500
4496 4501 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4497 4502
4498 4503 * Released 0.2.5.
4499 4504
4500 4505 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4501 4506
4502 4507 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
4503 4508 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
4504 4509 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
4505 4510
4506 4511 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4507 4512
4508 4513 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
4509 4514 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
4510 4515 have thigs work as expected.
4511 4516
4512 4517 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
4513 4518 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
4514 4519 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
4515 4520 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
4516 4521 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
4517 4522
4518 4523 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
4519 4524 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
4520 4525
4521 4526 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4522 4527
4523 4528 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
4524 4529 user config files with os-native line-endings.
4525 4530
4526 4531 * README and manual updates.
4527 4532
4528 4533 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
4529 4534 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
4530 4535
4531 4536 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
4532 4537 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
4533 4538
4534 4539 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
4535 4540 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
4536 4541 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
4537 4542 extension-less files.
4538 4543
4539 4544 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
4540 4545 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
4541 4546 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
4542 4547
4543 4548 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
4544 4549 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
4545 4550
4546 4551 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
4547 4552 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
4548 4553 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
4549 4554 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
4550 4555 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
4551 4556 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
4552 4557 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
4553 4558 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
4554 4559 least make manually a shortcut.
4555 4560
4556 4561 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
4557 4562 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
4558 4563 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
4559 4564 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
4560 4565 runtime, with @colors.
4561 4566 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
4562 4567 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
4563 4568
4564 4569 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4565 4570
4566 4571 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
4567 4572 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
4568 4573 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
4569 4574 read the startup info.
4570 4575
4571 4576 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4572 4577
4573 4578 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
4574 4579 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
4575 4580 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
4576 4581 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
4577 4582 type the better off we are.
4578 4583 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
4579 4584 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
4580 4585 before.
4581 4586
4582 4587 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4583 4588
4584 4589 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
4585 4590 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
4586 4591 this later.
4587 4592
4588 4593 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4589 4594
4590 4595 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
4591 4596 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
4592 4597 (they can be triggered by imported code).
4593 4598
4594 4599 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4595 4600
4596 4601 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
4597 4602 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
4598 4603 spitting out only offset information as before.
4599 4604 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
4600 4605 programs with command line args inside IPython.
4601 4606
4602 4607 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4603 4608
4604 4609 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
4605 4610 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
4606 4611 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
4607 4612 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
4608 4613 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
4609 4614 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
4610 4615 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
4611 4616 macros.
4612 4617
4613 4618 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4614 4619
4615 4620 * Released 0.2.4.
4616 4621
4617 4622 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
4618 4623 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
4619 4624 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
4620 4625 re-execution.
4621 4626
4622 4627 * Updated manual with recent changes.
4623 4628
4624 4629 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
4625 4630 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
4626 4631 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
4627 4632 documented, of course :)
4628 4633 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
4629 4634 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
4630 4635 __call__ info for callable object instances.
4631 4636
4632 4637 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4633 4638
4634 4639 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
4635 4640 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
4636 4641 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
4637 4642
4638 4643 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4639 4644
4640 4645 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
4641 4646 so I wanted an updated release).
4642 4647
4643 4648 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4644 4649
4645 4650 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
4646 4651 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
4647 4652 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
4648 4653 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
4649 4654 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
4650 4655
4651 4656 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4652 4657
4653 4658 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
4654 4659 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
4655 4660
4656 4661 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4657 4662
4658 4663 * Released 0.2.2.
4659 4664
4660 4665 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
4661 4666 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
4662 4667 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
4663 4668 versions.
4664 4669
4665 4670 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
4666 4671 (MayaVi author).
4667 4672
4668 4673 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4669 4674
4670 4675 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
4671 4676 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
4672 4677 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
4673 4678 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
4674 4679 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
4675 4680
4676 4681 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
4677 4682 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
4678 4683
4679 4684 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4680 4685
4681 4686 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
4682 4687 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
4683 4688 nice, full-blown manual.
4684 4689
4685 4690 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
4686 4691 trivially simple for end-users.
4687 4692
4688 4693 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4689 4694
4690 4695 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
4691 4696 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
4692 4697
4693 4698 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
4694 4699 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
4695 4700
4696 4701 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4697 4702
4698 4703 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
4699 4704 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
4700 4705 people to later upgrade versions.
4701 4706
4702 4707 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
4703 4708 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
4704 4709 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
4705 4710 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
4706 4711 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
4707 4712 SystemExit).
4708 4713
4709 4714 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
4710 4715 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
4711 4716 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
4712 4717 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
4713 4718 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
4714 4719
4715 4720 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
4716 4721 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
4717 4722 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
4718 4723
4719 4724 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4720 4725
4721 4726 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
4722 4727 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
4723 4728
4724 4729 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
4725 4730 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
4726 4731 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
4727 4732 html docs out of it will be found).
4728 4733
4729 4734 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
4730 4735
4731 4736 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
4732 4737 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
4733 4738
4734 4739 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
4735 4740
4736 4741 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
4737 4742 visiting any directory in _dh.
4738 4743
4739 4744 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
4740 4745 it out with numbers.
4741 4746
4742 4747 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4743 4748
4744 4749 * Released 0.1.22
4745 4750
4746 4751 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
4747 4752 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
4748 4753
4749 4754 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
4750 4755 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
4751 4756 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
4752 4757 screen the necessary mail command.
4753 4758
4754 4759 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
4755 4760 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
4756 4761 guess we should at least give them something readable.
4757 4762
4758 4763 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4759 4764
4760 4765 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
4761 4766 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
4762 4767 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
4763 4768 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
4764 4769 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
4765 4770 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
4766 4771 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
4767 4772 its name).
4768 4773
4769 4774 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
4770 4775 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
4771 4776 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
4772 4777 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
4773 4778
4774 4779 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4775 4780
4776 4781 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
4777 4782 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
4778 4783
4779 4784 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
4780 4785 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
4781 4786
4782 4787 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
4783 4788 completion of @-starting lines.
4784 4789
4785 4790 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
4786 4791 info that other files can read from.
4787 4792
4788 4793 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
4789 4794 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
4790 4795 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
4791 4796 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
4792 4797 restores produce less errors.
4793 4798
4794 4799 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
4795 4800 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
4796 4801 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
4797 4802 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
4798 4803 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
4799 4804
4800 4805 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
4801 4806 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
4802 4807 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
4803 4808 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
4804 4809 with this, finally...
4805 4810
4806 4811 * Small documentation updates.
4807 4812
4808 4813 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
4809 4814 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
4810 4815 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
4811 4816
4812 4817 * File renaming:
4813 4818 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
4814 4819 ipplib --> iplib
4815 4820 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
4816 4821
4817 4822 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
4818 4823 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
4819 4824 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
4820 4825
4821 4826 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
4822 4827 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
4823 4828 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
4824 4829
4825 4830 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4826 4831
4827 4832 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
4828 4833 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
4829 4834 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
4830 4835 the ad-hoc mess we had).
4831 4836
4832 4837 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
4833 4838 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
4834 4839 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
4835 4840
4836 4841 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
4837 4842 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
4838 4843 road.
4839 4844
4840 4845 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
4841 4846 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
4842 4847 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
4843 4848 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
4844 4849
4845 4850 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4846 4851
4847 4852 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
4848 4853 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
4849 4854 file accordingly.
4850 4855
4851 4856 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
4852 4857 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
4853 4858 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
4854 4859 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
4855 4860 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
4856 4861 separators and proper padding and justification.
4857 4862
4858 4863 * Released 0.1.20
4859 4864
4860 4865 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
4861 4866 copy operation was missing).
4862 4867
4863 4868 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
4864 4869 its output is always quite long.
4865 4870
4866 4871 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
4867 4872 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
4868 4873 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
4869 4874 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
4870 4875
4871 4876 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
4872 4877 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
4873 4878 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
4874 4879 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
4875 4880
4876 4881 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4877 4882
4878 4883 * Released 0.1.19
4879 4884
4880 4885 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
4881 4886 easier to copy/paste code this way.
4882 4887
4883 4888 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
4884 4889 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
4885 4890 comment on 'macros').
4886 4891
4887 4892 * Small fixes and doc updates.
4888 4893
4889 4894 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
4890 4895 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
4891 4896 statements and takes parameters.
4892 4897
4893 4898 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4894 4899
4895 4900 * Version 0.1.18 released.
4896 4901
4897 4902 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
4898 4903
4899 4904 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
4900 4905 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
4901 4906
4902 4907 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
4903 4908 ipythonrc-* samples.
4904 4909
4905 4910 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
4906 4911 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
4907 4912
4908 4913 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
4909 4914 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
4910 4915
4911 4916 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4912 4917
4913 4918 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
4914 4919 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
4915 4920 convention.
4916 4921
4917 4922 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
4918 4923 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
4919 4924
4920 4925 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
4921 4926
4922 4927 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
4923 4928 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
4924 4929
4925 4930 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
4926 4931 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
4927 4932 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
4928 4933 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
4929 4934 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
4930 4935 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
4931 4936 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
4932 4937 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
4933 4938 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
4934 4939 works.
4935 4940
4936 4941 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4937 4942
4938 4943 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
4939 4944 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
4940 4945 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
4941 4946 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
4942 4947 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
4943 4948 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
4944 4949 all the editors, less does that.
4945 4950
4946 4951 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
4947 4952
4948 4953 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
4949 4954 crash IPython.
4950 4955
4951 4956 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4952 4957
4953 4958 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
4954 4959
4955 4960 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
4956 4961 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
4957 4962 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
4958 4963 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
4959 4964 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
4960 4965 work in _ofind.
4961 4966
4962 4967 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
4963 4968 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
4964 4969 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
4965 4970 (famous last words).
4966 4971
4967 4972 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
4968 4973 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
4969 4974 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
4970 4975 windows).
4971 4976
4972 4977 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
4973 4978 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
4974 4979
4975 4980 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
4976 4981 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
4977 4982 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
4978 4983 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
4979 4984
4980 4985 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
4981 4986 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
4982 4987 licences and announce it.
4983 4988
4984 4989 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
4985 4990 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
4986 4991 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
4987 4992 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
4988 4993
4989 4994 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4990 4995
4991 4996 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
4992 4997 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
4993 4998 lists.
4994 4999
4995 5000 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
4996 5001 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
4997 5002 are ok.
4998 5003
4999 5004 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5000 5005 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5001 5006
5002 5007 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5003 5008 this to Nathan.
5004 5009
5005 5010 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5006 5011
5007 5012 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5008 5013 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5009 5014 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5010 5015
5011 5016 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5012 5017 accepted). Cleaner.
5013 5018
5014 5019 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5015 5020 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5016 5021 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5017 5022 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5018 5023 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5019 5024
5020 5025 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5021 5026
5022 5027 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5023 5028 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5024 5029 history after a log replay.
5025 5030
5026 5031 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5027 5032 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5028 5033 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5029 5034 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5030 5035 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5031 5036 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5032 5037
5033 5038 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5034 5039 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5035 5040 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5036 5041 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5037 5042 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5038 5043
5039 5044 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5040 5045
5041 5046 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5042 5047 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5043 5048 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5044 5049 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5045 5050 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5046 5051 one: cache_size.
5047 5052
5048 5053 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5049 5054 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5050 5055 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5051 5056 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5052 5057
5053 5058 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5054 5059 @ or not).
5055 5060
5056 5061 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5057 5062 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5058 5063 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5059 5064 about licensing).
5060 5065
5061 5066 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5062 5067
5063 5068 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5064 5069 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5065 5070
5066 5071 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5067 5072 screen size for page() operations.
5068 5073
5069 5074 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5070 5075 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
5071 5076 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
5072 5077 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
5073 5078
5074 5079 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
5075 5080 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
5076 5081 option name tables are clearer.
5077 5082
5078 5083 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
5079 5084 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
5080 5085 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
5081 5086 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
5082 5087 was also changed a little to align better.
5083 5088
5084 5089 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
5085 5090 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
5086 5091
5087 5092 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
5088 5093 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
5089 5094 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
5090 5095
5091 5096 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
5092 5097 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
5093 5098 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
5094 5099 he needs it.
5095 5100
5096 5101 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
5097 5102
5098 5103 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
5099 5104 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
5100 5105 warning on it.
5101 5106
5102 5107 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
5103 5108 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
5104 5109 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
5105 5110 was too long).
5106 5111
5107 5112 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
5108 5113 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
5109 5114 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
5110 5115
5111 5116 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
5112 5117 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
5113 5118 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
5114 5119 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
5115 5120 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
5116 5121 function for the same task.
5117 5122
5118 5123 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5119 5124
5120 5125 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
5121 5126
5122 5127 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
5123 5128 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
5124 5129 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
5125 5130
5126 5131 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
5127 5132 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
5128 5133 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
5129 5134
5130 5135 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
5131 5136 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
5132 5137 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
5133 5138
5134 5139 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5135 5140
5136 5141 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
5137 5142
5138 5143 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
5139 5144 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
5140 5145 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
5141 5146
5142 5147 * Made prompt separators configurable.
5143 5148
5144 5149 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5145 5150
5146 5151 * Small bugfixes in many places.
5147 5152
5148 5153 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
5149 5154 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
5150 5155 maintain.
5151 5156
5152 5157 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
5153 5158 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
5154 5159 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
5155 5160 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
5156 5161 compiled and startup is much faster.
5157 5162
5158 5163 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
5159 5164 while without messing too much more with the code.
5160 5165
5161 5166 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5162 5167
5163 5168 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
5164 5169
5165 5170 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
5166 5171 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
5167 5172 *a lot* easier in some cases.
5168 5173
5169 5174 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
5170 5175 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
5171 5176
5172 5177 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
5173 5178 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
5174 5179 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
5175 5180 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
5176 5181 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
5177 5182 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
5178 5183
5179 5184 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
5180 5185 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
5181 5186
5182 5187 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
5183 5188 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
5184 5189
5185 5190 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
5186 5191 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
5187 5192 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
5188 5193 excessive.
5189 5194
5190 5195 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
5191 5196 types (only first word was displayed).
5192 5197
5193 5198 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5194 5199
5195 5200 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
5196 5201
5197 5202 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
5198 5203 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
5199 5204 travel along many directories.
5200 5205
5201 5206 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
5202 5207 arguments with default values.
5203 5208
5204 5209 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5205 5210
5206 5211 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
5207 5212 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
5208 5213
5209 5214 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
5210 5215
5211 5216 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
5212 5217 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
5213 5218 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
5214 5219
5215 5220 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5216 5221
5217 5222 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
5218 5223 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
5219 5224 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
5220 5225 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
5221 5226 from the outside and implement extensions for special
5222 5227 purposes.
5223 5228
5224 5229 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
5225 5230 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
5226 5231 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
5227 5232 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
5228 5233 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
5229 5234 one can simply say
5230 5235 a = 4.2 m/s**2
5231 5236 or even
5232 5237 a = 4.2 m/s^2
5233 5238
5234 5239 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
5235 5240 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
5236 5241 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
5237 5242
5238 5243 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
5239 5244 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
5240 5245 they were defined in
5241 5246
5242 5247 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
5243 5248
5244 5249 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
5245 5250 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
5246 5251 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
5247 5252 these to show the same information.
5248 5253
5249 5254 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
5250 5255
5251 5256 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
5252 5257 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
5253 5258 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
5254 5259 backtracked on the whole class!)
5255 5260
5256 5261 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
5257 5262 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
5258 5263 everything works as before).
5259 5264
5260 5265 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
5261 5266 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
5262 5267 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
5263 5268 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
5264 5269
5265 5270 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5266 5271
5267 5272 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
5268 5273
5269 5274 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
5270 5275 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
5271 5276
5272 5277 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
5273 5278 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
5274 5279 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
5275 5280 this later.
5276 5281
5277 5282 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
5278 5283
5279 5284 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
5280 5285 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
5281 5286 line option.
5282 5287
5283 5288 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
5284 5289 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
5285 5290 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
5286 5291 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
5287 5292 didn't return a result).
5288 5293
5289 5294 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
5290 5295
5291 5296 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
5292 5297
5293 5298 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
5294 5299 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
5295 5300 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
5296 5301 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
5297 5302
5298 5303 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5299 5304
5300 5305 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
5301 5306
5302 5307 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
5303 5308 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
5304 5309
5305 5310 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
5306 5311 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
5307 5312 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
5308 5313 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
5309 5314 in with the next entry:
5310 5315
5311 5316 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
5312 5317 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
5313 5318 handling.
5314 5319
5315 5320 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
5316 5321 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
5317 5322 namespace protection and documentation.

5319 5324 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5320 5325
5321 5326 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
5322 5327 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
5323 5328
5324 5329 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
5325 5330
5326 5331 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5327 5332
5328 5333 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
5329 5334
5330 5335 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
5331 5336 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
5332 5337 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
5333 5338 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
5334 5339 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
5335 5340
5336 5341 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
5337 5342 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
5338 5343 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
5339 5344
5340 5345 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
5341 5346
5342 5347 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
5343 5348 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
5344 5349
5345 5350 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5346 5351
5347 5352 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
5348 5353
5349 5354 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
5350 5355 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
5351 5356 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
5352 5357 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
5353 5358 ScientificPython.
5354 5359
5355 5360 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5356 5361
5357 5362 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
5358 5363 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
5359 5364 when called with no args.
5360 5365
5361 5366 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
5362 5367 closely.
5363 5368
5364 5369 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
5365 5370 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
5366 5371 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
5367 5372 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
5368 5373 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
5369 5374
5370 5375 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5371 5376
5372 5377 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
5373 5378 customizations there and access them via import.
5374 5379
5375 5380 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5376 5381
5377 5382 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
5378 5383
5379 5384 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
5380 5385 Nathan and Janko.
5381 5386
5382 5387 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
5383 5388
5384 5389 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
5385 5390 too long.
5386 5391
5387 5392 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
5388 5393
5389 5394 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
5390 5395 ?sin and sin?
5391 5396 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
5392 5397 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
5393 5398 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
5394 5399 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
5395 5400
5396 5401 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5397 5402
5398 5403 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
5399 5404
5400 5405 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
5401 5406 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
5402 5407
5403 5408 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
5404 5409 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
5405 5410 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
5406 5411 me).
5407 5412
5408 5413 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
5409 5414 protected (reasonably).
5410 5415
5411 5416 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
5412 5417 note through it (it was too long).
5413 5418
5414 5419 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
5415 5420 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
5416 5421 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
5417 5422 parameters.
5418 5423
5419 5424
5420 5425 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5421 5426
5422 5427 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
5423 5428 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
5424 5429 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
5425 5430
5426 5431 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
5427 5432 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
5428 5433 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
5429 5434
5430 5435 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
5431 5436
5432 5437 Changes to InteractiveShell:
5433 5438
5434 5439 - Made the usage message a parameter.
5435 5440
5436 5441 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
5437 5442 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwire in the
5438 5443 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
5439 5444 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
5440 5445 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
5441 5446 break.
5442 5447
5443 5448 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
5444 5449 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
5445 5450 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
5446 5451 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
5447 5452 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
5448 5453 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
5449 5454
5450 5455 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
5451 5456 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
5452 5457 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
5453 5458 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
5454 5459 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
5455 5460 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
5456 5461 *everythin* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
5457 5462 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
5458 5463 trick.
5459 5464
5460 5465 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
5461 5466 session restoring.
5462 5467
5463 5468 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
5464 5469 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
5465 5470 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
5466 5471 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
5467 5472 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
5468 5473
5469 5474 * Started ChangeLog.
