3 3 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
4 4 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
5 5 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
6 6
7 * extensions/pydb_ipy.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
8 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.

8 11
9 12 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
10 13 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
11 14 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
12 15
13 16 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
14 17
15 18 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
16 19 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
17 20 internal crash handler.
18 21
19 22 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
20 23 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
21 24 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
22 25 at the request of SAGE.
23 26
24 27 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
25 28
26 29 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
27 30 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
28 31
29 32 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
30 33 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
31 34 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
32 35 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
33 36
34 37 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
35 38 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
36 39 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
37 40
38 41 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
39 42
40 43 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
41 44 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
42 45 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
43 46
44 47 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
45 48 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
46 49
47 50 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
48 51
49 52 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
50 53 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
51 54 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
52 55 Stefan.
53 56
54 57 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
55 58
56 59 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
57 60 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
58 61 sys.stdout.close().
59 62
60 63 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
61 64
62 65 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
63 66 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
64 67 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
65 68 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
66 69
67 70 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
68 71 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
69 72 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
70 73
71 74 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
72 75 2.5.
73 76
74 77 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
75 78 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
76 79 interactively.
77 80
78 81 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
79 82
80 83 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
81 84 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
82 85
83 86 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
84 87
85 88 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
86 89 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
87 90 or only files.
88 91
89 92 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
90 93
91 94 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
92 95 they broke unittest
93 96
94 97 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
95 98
96 99 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
97 100 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
98 101 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
99 102 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
100 103
101 104 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
102 105
103 106 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
104 107 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
105 108 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
106 109 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
107 110 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
108 111
109 112 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
110 113
111 114 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
112 115 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
113 116
114 117 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
115 118
116 119 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
117 120 the mode argument).
118 121
119 122 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
120 123
121 124 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
122 125 not running under IPython.
123 126
124 127 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
125 128 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
126 129 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
127 130 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
128 131 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
129 132 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
130 133 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
131 134 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
132 135 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
133 136 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
134 137 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
135 138 are still supported.
136 139
137 140 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
138 141 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
139 142 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
140 143 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
141 144
142 145 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
143 146 encoding into methods.
144 147
145 148 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
146 149
147 150 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
148 151 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
149 152
150 153 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
151 154
152 155 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
153 156 non existing attributes.
154 157
155 158 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
156 159
157 160 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
158 161 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
159 162
160 163 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
161 164
162 165 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
163 166 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
164 167
165 168 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
166 169
167 170 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
168 171 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
169 172 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
170 173
171 174 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
172 175
173 176 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
174 177 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
175 178 Stefan van der Walt.
176 179
177 180 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
178 181
179 182 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
180 183 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
181 184
182 185 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
183 186
184 187 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
185 188 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
186 189 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
187 190
188 191 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
189 192
190 193 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
191 194 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
192 195 attributes.
193 196
194 197 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
195 198
196 199 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
197 200 commands into the methods implementing them.
198 201
199 202 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
200 203
201 204 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
202 205 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
203 206 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
204 207
205 208 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
206 209
207 210 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
208 211 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
209 212
210 213 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
211 214
212 215 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
213 216 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
214 217
215 218 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
216 219
217 220 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
218 221 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
219 222 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
220 223 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
221 224 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
222 225 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
223 226 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
224 227 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
225 228 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
226 229 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
227 230 the x key to "delete".
228 231
229 232 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
230 233
231 234 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
232 235 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
233 236 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
234 237 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
235 238
236 239 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
237 240 prompt
238 241
239 242 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
240 243
241 244 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
242 245
243 246 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
244 247 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
245 248 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
246 249 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
247 250
248 251 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
249 252
250 253 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
251 254 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
252 255 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
253 256 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
254 257 doesn't work properly yet.
255 258
256 259 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
257 260
258 261 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
259 262 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
260 263 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
261 264
262 265 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
263 266
264 267 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
265 268 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
266 269 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
267 270 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
268 271 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
269 272 execute commands.
270 273
271 274 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
272 275
273 276 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
274 277 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
275 278
276 279 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
277 280
278 281 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
279 282 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
280 283
281 284 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
282 285
283 286 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
284 287 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
285 288 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
286 289
287 290 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
288 291
289 292 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
290 293
291 294 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
292 295 Repo tagged and release cut.
293 296
294 297 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
295 298
296 299 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
297 300 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
298 301
299 302 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
300 303 (for %upgrade)
301 304
302 305 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
303 306
304 307 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
305 308 instead of looping 20 times.
306 309
307 310 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
308 311 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
309 312 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
310 313
311 314 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
312 315 testing for release on 06/06.
313 316
314 317 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
315 318
316 319 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
317 320 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
318 321 live in people's PATH.
319 322
320 323 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
321 324 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
322 325 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
323 326 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
324 327 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
325 328
326 329 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
327 330 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
328 331
329 332 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
330 333
331 334 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
332 335 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
333 336
334 337 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
335 338
336 339 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
337 340 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
338 341 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
339 342
340 343 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
341 344
342 345 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
343 346 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
344 347 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
345 348 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
346 349
347 350 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
348 351 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
349 352 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
350 353 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
351 354
352 355 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
353 356 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
354 357 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
355 358 work.
356 359
357 360 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
358 361
359 362 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
360 363 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
361 364
362 365 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
363 366 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
364 367 author William Stein.
365 368
366 369 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
367 370 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
368 371 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
369 372 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
370 373 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
371 374 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
372 375 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
373 376 objects more easily.
374 377
375 378 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
376 379
377 380 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
378 381 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
379 382 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
380 383 by Jeffrey Collins.
381 384
382 385 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
383 386 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
384 387 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
385 388 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
386 389
387 390 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
388 391 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
389 392 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
390 393 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
391 394
392 395 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
393 396 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
394 397 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
395 398 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
396 399 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
397 400 compatibility)
398 401
399 402 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
400 403 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
401 404 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
402 405
403 406 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
404 407 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
405 408 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
406 409 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
407 410 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
408 411
409 412 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
410 413 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
411 414 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
412 415
413 416 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
414 417 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
415 418 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
416 419 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
417 420 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
418 421 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
419 422 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
420 423
421 424 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
422 425 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
423 426 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
424 427
425 428 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
426 429 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
427 430 it is a real module. Closes #59.
428 431
429 432 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
430 433 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
431 434
432 435 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
433 436
434 437 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
435 438 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
436 439 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
437 440 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
438 441 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
439 442 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
440 443 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
441 444 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
442 445 while running under SAGE.
443 446
444 447 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
445 448
446 449 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
447 450 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
448 451 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
449 452 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
450 453
451 454 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
452 455
453 456 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
454 457 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
455 458 updated.
456 459
457 460 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
458 461 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
459 462 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
460 463 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
461 464 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
462 465
463 466 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
464 467 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
465 468 so more testing is needed...
466 469
467 470 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
468 471
469 472 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
470 473 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
471 474 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
472 475 when doing complex debugging.
473 476 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
474 477 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
475 478 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
476 479 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
477 480
478 481 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
479 482
480 483 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
481 484 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
482 485 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
483 486 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
484 487
485 488 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
486 489
487 490 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
488 491 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
489 492
490 493 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
491 494
492 495 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
493 496 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
494 497 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
495 498 been the one to acquire it.
496 499
497 500 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
498 501
499 502 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
500 503
501 504 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
502 505
503 506 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
504 507 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
505 508 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
506 509
507 510 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
508 511 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
509 512 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
510 513 properly flush the output cache.
511 514
512 515 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
513 516 half-success (and fail explicitly).
514 517
515 518 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
516 519
517 520 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
518 521 are quoted
519 522
520 523 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
521 524
522 525 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
523 526 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
524 527
525 528 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
526 529 separator, since space is legal in path names.
527 530
528 531 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
529 532
530 533 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
531 534 %upgrade magic
532 535
533 536 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
534 537
535 538 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
536 539 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
537 540 reported by Zachary Pincus.
538 541
539 542 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
540 543
541 544 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
542 545 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
543 546
544 547 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
545 548 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
546 549 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
547 550 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
548 551 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
549 552
550 553 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
551 554
552 555 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
553 556 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
554 557
555 558 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
556 559
557 560 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
558 561 Torsten Marek.
559 562
560 563 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
561 564
562 565 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
563 566 line ranges works again.
564 567
565 568 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
566 569
567 570 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
568 571 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
569 572 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
570 573 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
571 574 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
572 575
573 576 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
574 577 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
575 578 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
576 579 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
577 580 more.
578 581
579 582 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
580 583
581 584 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
582 585 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
583 586
584 587 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
585 588
586 589 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
587 590 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
588 591
589 592 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
590 593
591 594 * Magic.py: %save works again.
592 595
593 596 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
594 597
595 598 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
596 599
597 600 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
598 601 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
599 602 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
600 603
601 604 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
602 605
603 606 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
604 607 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
605 608 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
606 609 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
607 610
608 611 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
609 612 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
610 613
611 614 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
612 615 contributed by marienz to close
613 616 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
614 617
615 618 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
616 619
617 620 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
618 621
619 622 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
620 623 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
621 624 nonsense.
622 625
623 626 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
624 627
625 628 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
626 629 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
627 630
628 631 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
629 632
630 633 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
631 634
632 635 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
633 636 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
634 637
635 638 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
636 639
637 640 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
638 641 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
639 642 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
640 643 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
641 644 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
642 645 SAGE team.
643 646 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
644 647 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
645 648
646 649 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
647 650 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
648 651 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
649 652 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
650 653 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
651 654
652 655 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
653 656
654 657 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
655 658 correctly now (on Linux)
656 659
657 660 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
658 661 warnings
659 662
660 663 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
661 664
662 665 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
663 666
664 667
665 668 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
666 669
667 670 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
668 671 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
669 672 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
670 673 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
671 674 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
672 675 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
673 676 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
674 677 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
675 678
676 679 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
677 680
678 681 * aliases can now be %store'd
679 682
680 683 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
681 684 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
682 685 at __init__.
683 686
684 687 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
685 688 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
686 689
687 690 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
688 691
689 692 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
690 693 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
691 694 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
692 695
693 696 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
694 697
695 698 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
696 699
697 700 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
698 701
699 702 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
700 703 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
701 704 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
702 705 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
703 706
704 707 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
705 708 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
706 709
707 710 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
708 711
709 712 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
710 713 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
711 714 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
712 715 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
713 716
714 717 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
715 718 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
716 719 usage.
717 720
718 721 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
719 722 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
720 723 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
721 724
722 725 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
723 726
724 727 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
725 728 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
726 729
727 730 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
728 731 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
729 732 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
730 733
731 734 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
732 735
733 736 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
734 737
735 738 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
736 739
737 740 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
738 741 are now more helpful:
739 742 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
740 743
741 744 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
742 745
743 746 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
744 747 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
745 748
746 749 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
747 750
748 751 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
749 752 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
750 753
751 754 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
752 755 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
753 756 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
754 757
755 758 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
756 759
757 760
758 761 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
759 762
760 763 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
761 764 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
762 765
763 766 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
764 767
765 768 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
766 769 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
767 770 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
768 771 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
769 772 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
770 773 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
771 774
772 775 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
773 776
774 777 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
775 778 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
776 779 \python24\scripts).
777 780
778 781 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
779 782 egg.
780 783
781 784 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
782 785
783 786 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
784 787
785 788 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
786 789
787 790 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
788 791
789 792 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
790 793
791 794 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
792 795 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
793 796 \python24\scripts).
794 797
795 798 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
796 799 egg.
797 800
798 801 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
799 802
800 803 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
801 804 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
802 805 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
803 806
804 807 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
805 808 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
806 809 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
807 810 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
808 811
809 812 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
810 813 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
811 814 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
812 815 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
813 816 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
814 817 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
815 818 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
816 819 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
817 820 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
818 821 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
819 822 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
820 823 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
821 824
822 825 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
823 826
824 827 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
825 828 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
826 829 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
827 830 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
828 831
829 832 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
830 833
831 834 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
832 835 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
833 836 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
834 837 importing extensions easy.
835 838
836 839 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
837 840 classes / instances of those classes.
838 841
839 842 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
840 843 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
841 844 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
842 845 the user.
843 846
844 847 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
845 848 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
846 849 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
847 850
848 851 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
849 852
850 853 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
851 854 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
852 855 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
853 856 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
854 857 others may also catch any problems. Also made
855 858 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
856 859 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
857 860 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
858 861 the method.
859 862
860 863 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
861 864
862 865 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
863 866 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
864 867
865 868 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
866 869
867 870 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
868 871 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
869 872 Vivian.
870 873
871 874 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
872 875 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
873 876 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
874 877 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
875 878 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
876 879
877 880 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
878 881
879 882 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
880 883 that returns file contents on exit.
881 884
882 885 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
883 886 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
884 887 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
885 888 sc files=ls
886 889 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
887 890 print p,p.mtime
888 891
889 892 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
890 893 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
891 894 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
892 895 instead of syntax error.
893 896
894 897
895 898 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
896 899
897 900 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
898 901 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
899 902 data.
900 903
901 904 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
902 905 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
903 906 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
904 907 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
905 908
906 909 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
907 910 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
908 911 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
909 912 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
910 913 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
911 914 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
912 915
913 916 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
914 917
915 918 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
916 919 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
917 920 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
918 921 current dir.
919 922
920 923 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
921 924 had to create new files.
922 925
923 926 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
924 927 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
925 928 future.
926 929
927 930 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
928 931 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
929 932 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
930 933
931 934
932 935 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
933 936
934 937 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
935 938 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
936 939 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
937 940 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
938 941 later.
939 942
940 943 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
941 944 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
942 945
943 946 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
944 947
945 948 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
946 949 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
947 950 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
948 951 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
949 952 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
950 953 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
951 954
952 955 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
953 956
954 957 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
955 958 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
956 959 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
957 960 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
958 961 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
959 962 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
960 963 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
961 964 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
962 965 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
963 966 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
964 967
965 968 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
966 969 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
967 970 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
968 971 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
969 972
970 973 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
971 974 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
972 975 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
973 976 "setup.py install" between changes).
974 977
975 978 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
976 979 if 1:
977 980 !ls
978 981 !!ls
979 982
980 983 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
981 984
982 985 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
983 986 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
984 987 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
985 988 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
986 989
987 990 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
988 991 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
989 992 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
990 993
991 994 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
992 995
993 996 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
994 997 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
995 998 win32.
996 999
997 1000 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
998 1001
999 1002 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1000 1003
1001 1004 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1002 1005 ready for release.
1003 1006
1004 1007 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1005 1008 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1006 1009 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1007 1010 where to copy the info from.
1008 1011
1009 1012 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1010 1013
1011 1014 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1012 1015 support in the release tools as well.
1013 1016
1014 1017 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1015 1018
1016 1019 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1017 1020 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1018 1021 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1019 1022 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1020 1023
1021 1024 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1022 1025 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1023 1026 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1024 1027
1025 1028 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1026 1029 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1027 1030
1028 1031 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1029 1032 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1030 1033 printer not to work.
1031 1034
1032 1035 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1033 1036
1034 1037 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1035 1038 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1036 1039
1037 1040 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1038 1041
1039 1042 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1040 1043 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1041 1044 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1042 1045
1043 1046 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1044 1047 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1045 1048 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1046 1049
1047 1050 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1048 1051 Ville's patch.
1049 1052
1050 1053 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1051 1054
1052 1055 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1053 1056 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1054 1057 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1055 1058 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1056 1059 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1057 1060 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1058 1061 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1059 1062
1060 1063 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1061 1064 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1062 1065 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1063 1066
1064 1067 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1065 1068
1066 1069 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1067 1070 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1068 1071
1069 1072 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1070 1073 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1071 1074 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1072 1075 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1073 1076 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1074 1077 twister).
1075 1078
1076 1079 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1077 1080 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1078 1081 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1079 1082
1080 1083 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1081 1084 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1082 1085 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1083 1086 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1084 1087 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1085 1088 something inside the dis module.
1086 1089
1087 1090 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1088 1091
1089 1092 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1090 1093 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1091 1094 follows the discussion in
1092 1095 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1093 1096
1094 1097 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1095 1098 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1096 1099 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1097 1100
1098 1101 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1099 1102 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1100 1103 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1101 1104
1102 1105 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1103 1106 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1104 1107 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1105 1108 speed up this routine.
1106 1109
1107 1110 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1108 1111 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1109 1112 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1110 1113 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1111 1114 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1112 1115 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1113 1116 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1114 1117 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1115 1118
1116 1119 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1117 1120 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1118 1121 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1119 1122
1120 1123 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1121 1124 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1122 1125 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1123 1126 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1124 1127 setters don't do anything).
1125 1128
1126 1129 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1127 1130
1128 1131 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1129 1132 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1130 1133 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1131 1134 falling out of sync...)
1132 1135
1133 1136 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1134 1137 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1135 1138 as loops).
1136 1139
1137 1140 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1138 1141 win32 system access.
1139 1142
1140 1143 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1141 1144
1142 1145 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1143 1146 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1144 1147 thread-safe.
1145 1148 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1146 1149 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1147 1150 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1148 1151 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1149 1152 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1150 1153 can still happen.
1151 1154 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1152 1155 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1153 1156 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1154 1157 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1155 1158 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1156 1159 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1157 1160 cleanly.
1158 1161
1159 1162 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1160 1163 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1161 1164 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1162 1165 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1163 1166 users' persisted data.
1164 1167
1165 1168 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1166 1169 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1167 1170 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1168 1171 multiline input (such as macros).
1169 1172
1170 1173 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1171 1174 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1172 1175 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1173 1176 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1174 1177 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1175 1178 informative).
1176 1179
1177 1180 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1178 1181 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1179 1182
1180 1183 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1181 1184 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1182 1185 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1183 1186
1184 1187 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1185 1188 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1186 1189 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1187 1190 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1188 1191 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1189 1192 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1190 1193 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1191 1194 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1192 1195 details.
1193 1196
1194 1197 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1195 1198 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1196 1199 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1197 1200 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1198 1201 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1199 1202
1200 1203 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1201 1204 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1202 1205 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1203 1206 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1204 1207 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1205 1208
1206 1209 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1207 1210 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1208 1211 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1209 1212 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1210 1213 options to %logstart. Closes
1211 1214 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1212 1215 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).

1214 1217 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1215 1218
1216 1219 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1217 1220 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1218 1221 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1219 1222 list:
1220 1223 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1221 1224
1222 1225 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1223 1226
1224 1227 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1225 1228 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1226 1229 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1227 1230 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1228 1231
1229 1232 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1230 1233 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1231 1234 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1232 1235 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1233 1236 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1234 1237
1235 1238 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1236 1239 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1237 1240 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1238 1241 true by default.
1239 1242
1240 1243 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1241 1244 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1242 1245 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1243 1246 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1244 1247
1245 1248 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1246 1249
1247 1250 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1248 1251 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1249 1252 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1250 1253 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1251 1254 version committed).
1252 1255
1253 1256 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1254 1257 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1255 1258 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1256 1259 discussion on the user list.
1257 1260
1258 1261 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1259 1262 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1260 1263 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1261 1264 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1262 1265
1263 1266 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1264 1267
1265 1268 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1266 1269 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1267 1270 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1268 1271
1269 1272 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1270 1273 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1271 1274 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1272 1275
1273 1276 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1274 1277 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1275 1278 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1276 1279 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1277 1280 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1278 1281 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1279 1282 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1280 1283 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1281 1284 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1282 1285 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1283 1286 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1284 1287 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1285 1288 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1286 1289 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1287 1290 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1288 1291 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1289 1292 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1290 1293 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1291 1294 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1292 1295 branch refactoring.
1293 1296
1294 1297 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1295 1298
1296 1299 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1297 1300 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1298 1301
1299 1302 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1300 1303 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1301 1304 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1302 1305 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1303 1306 worked correctly).
1304 1307
1305 1308 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1306 1309 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1307 1310 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1308 1311
1309 1312 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1310 1313
1311 1314 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1312 1315 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1313 1316 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1314 1317 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1315 1318 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1316 1319 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1317 1320 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1318 1321 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1319 1322
1320 1323 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1321 1324
1322 1325 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1323 1326 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1324 1327 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1325 1328 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1326 1329 on this.
1327 1330
1328 1331 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1329 1332
1330 1333 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1331 1334 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1332 1335 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1333 1336 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1334 1337 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1335 1338
1336 1339 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1337 1340
1338 1341 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1339 1342 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1340 1343 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1341 1344 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1342 1345
1343 1346 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1344 1347
1345 1348 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1346 1349 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1347 1350 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1348 1351
1349 1352 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1350 1353
1351 1354 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1352 1355 startup time.
1353 1356
1354 1357 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1355 1358 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1356 1359 it's working in all cases.
1357 1360
1358 1361 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1359 1362 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1360 1363 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1361 1364 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1362 1365 per-search basis.
1363 1366
1364 1367 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1365 1368
1366 1369 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1367 1370 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1368 1371 of a patch by Jorgen.
1369 1372
1370 1373 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1371 1374
1372 1375 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1373 1376 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1374 1377 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1375 1378
1376 1379 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1377 1380
1378 1381 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1379 1382 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1380 1383 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1381 1384 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
1382 1385
1383 1386 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1384 1387
1385 1388 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1386 1389 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1387 1390 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1388 1391 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1389 1392 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1390 1393 implementing this functionality.
1391 1394
1392 1395 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1393 1396
1394 1397 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1395 1398 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1396 1399 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1397 1400 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1398 1401 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1399 1402 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1400 1403 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1401 1404
1402 1405 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1403 1406
1404 1407 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1405 1408 reported by Stephen Walton.
1406 1409
1407 1410 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1408 1411
1409 1412 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1410 1413
1411 1414 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1412 1415 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1413 1416
1414 1417 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1415 1418
1416 1419 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
1417 1420 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
1418 1421
1419 1422 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
1420 1423 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
1421 1424
1422 1425 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1423 1426
1424 1427 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
1425 1428 finishing.
1426 1429
1427 1430 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
1428 1431 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
1429 1432
1430 1433 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
1431 1434 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
1432 1435 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
1433 1436
1434 1437 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
1435 1438 code, handy in general.
1436 1439
1437 1440 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
1438 1441 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
1439 1442 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
1440 1443
1441 1444 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1442 1445
1443 1446 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
1444 1447 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
1445 1448 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
1446 1449 testing, though.
1447 1450 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
1448 1451 like this before...
1449 1452
1450 1453 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
1451 1454 non-dirs in win32 registry.
1452 1455
1453 1456 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
1454 1457 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
1455 1458
1456 1459 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1457 1460
1458 1461 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
1459 1462 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
1460 1463 F. Mantegazza.
1461 1464
1462 1465 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1463 1466
1464 1467 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
1465 1468 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
1466 1469 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
1467 1470
1468 1471 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
1469 1472 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
1470 1473 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
1471 1474 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
1472 1475 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
1473 1476 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
1474 1477
1475 1478 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1476 1479
1477 1480 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
1478 1481 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
1479 1482 beyond readline-based environments.
1480 1483
1481 1484 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1482 1485
1483 1486 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
1484 1487
1485 1488 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
1486 1489 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
1487 1490 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
1488 1491 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
1489 1492 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
1490 1493
1491 1494 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1492 1495
1493 1496 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
1494 1497 contains non-string attribute. Closes
1495 1498 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
1496 1499
1497 1500 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>

1502 1505
1503 1506 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
1504 1507 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
1505 1508 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
1506 1509 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
1507 1510 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
1508 1511 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).

1510 1513 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1511 1514
1512 1515 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
1513 1516
1514 1517 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1515 1518
1516 1519 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
1517 1520 invalid $HOME under win32.
1518 1521
1519 1522 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1520 1523
1521 1524 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
1522 1525 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
1523 1526 simpler and a bit faster.
1524 1527
1525 1528 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
1526 1529 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
1527 1530 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
1528 1531 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
1529 1532 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
1530 1533
1531 1534 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
1532 1535 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
1533 1536 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
1534 1537
1535 1538 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
1536 1539 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
1537 1540
1538 1541 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
1539 1542 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
1540 1543 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
1541 1544 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
1542 1545 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
1543 1546 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
1544 1547 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
1545 1548
1546 1549 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
1547 1550
1548 1551 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
1549 1552
1550 1553 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
1551 1554
1552 1555 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
1553 1556 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
1554 1557
1555 1558 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1556 1559
1557 1560 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
1558 1561 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
1559 1562 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
1560 1563 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
1561 1564 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
1562 1565 for the contribution.
1563 1566
1564 1567 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
1565 1568 slightly modified version of the patch in
1566 1569 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
1567 1570 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
1568 1571 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.

1570 1573 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1571 1574
1572 1575 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
1573 1576 I/O a bit more.
1574 1577
1575 1578 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
1576 1579 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.

1581 1584
1582 1585 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1583 1586 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
1584 1587 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
1585 1588 readline delimiters configuration to read:
1586 1589
1587 1590 readline_remove_delims -/~

1593 1596
1594 1597 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
1595 1598 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
1596 1599 <eli@gondolin.net>

1598 1601 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1599 1602
1600 1603 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
1601 1604 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
1602 1605
1603 1606 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1604 1607
1605 1608 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
1606 1609 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
1607 1610 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
1608 1611
1609 1612 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1610 1613
1611 1614 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
1612 1615 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
1613 1616
1614 1617 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1615 1618
1616 1619 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
1617 1620 to usage page (invoked with --help).
1618 1621
1619 1622 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
1620 1623 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
1621 1624 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
1622 1625 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
1623 1626 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
1624 1627 for more details.
1625 1628
1626 1629 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
1627 1630 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
1628 1631 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
1629 1632 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
1630 1633
1631 1634 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1632 1635
1633 1636 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
1634 1637 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
1635 1638 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
1636 1639 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
1637 1640 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
1638 1641
1639 1642 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
1640 1643 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
1641 1644 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
1642 1645
1643 1646 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1644 1647
1645 1648 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
1646 1649
1647 1650 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1648 1651
1649 1652 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
1650 1653 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
1651 1654 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
1652 1655 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
1653 1656 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
1654 1657
1655 1658 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
1656 1659
1657 1660 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1658 1661
1659 1662 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
1660 1663 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
1661 1664 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
1662 1665 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
1663 1666 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
1664 1667
1665 1668 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
1666 1669 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
1667 1670 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
1668 1671 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
1669 1672 take the text parameter.
1670 1673
1671 1674 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
1672 1675 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
1673 1676 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
1674 1677 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
1675 1678 pysh profile to include the line
1676 1679
1677 1680 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
1678 1681
1679 1682 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
1680 1683 delete pysh.py and the line
1681 1684
1682 1685 execfile pysh.py
1683 1686
1684 1687 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
1685 1688
1686 1689 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
1687 1690 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
1688 1691 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
1689 1692 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
1690 1693 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
1691 1694
1692 1695 * pysh.py:
1693 1696
1694 1697 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1695 1698
1696 1699 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
1697 1700 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
1698 1701 want it can still turn it off.
1699 1702
1700 1703 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
1701 1704 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
1702 1705 off by default.
1703 1706
1704 1707 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
1705 1708 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
1706 1709 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
1707 1710 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
1708 1711 calls.
1709 1712
1710 1713 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1711 1714
1712 1715 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
1713 1716 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
1714 1717 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
1715 1718
1716 1719 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1717 1720
1718 1721 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
1719 1722 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
1720 1723 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
1721 1724 (including 0) after the ':' character.
1722 1725
1723 1726 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
1724 1727 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
1725 1728 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
1726 1729 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
1727 1730
1728 1731 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1729 1732
1730 1733 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
1731 1734 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
1732 1735
1733 1736 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
1734 1737 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
1735 1738 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
1736 1739 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
1737 1740 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
1738 1741 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
1739 1742 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
1740 1743 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
1741 1744
1742 1745 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1743 1746
1744 1747 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
1745 1748 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
1746 1749 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
1747 1750 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
1748 1751 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1749 1752 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1750 1753 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
1751 1754 add new completers at runtime.
1752 1755
1753 1756 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1754 1757
1755 1758 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
1756 1759 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
1757 1760 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
1758 1761 ? system.
1759 1762
1760 1763 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
1761 1764 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
1762 1765 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
1763 1766 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
1764 1767 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
1765 1768 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
1766 1769 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
1767 1770 conveninent, so not all is lost.
1768 1771
1769 1772 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
1770 1773
1771 1774 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
1772 1775 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
1773 1776 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
1774 1777 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
1775 1778 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
1776 1779
1777 1780 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
1778 1781 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
1779 1782 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
1780 1783 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
1781 1784 add:
1782 1785
1783 1786 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
1784 1787 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
1785 1788
1786 1789 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1787 1790
1788 1791 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
1789 1792 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
1790 1793 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
1791 1794 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
1792 1795
1793 1796 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
1794 1797 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
1795 1798 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
1796 1799 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
1797 1800 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
1798 1801 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
1799 1802 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
1800 1803 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
1801 1804 further, simply bind them to any other name.
1802 1805
1803 1806 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1804 1807
1805 1808 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
1806 1809 prompt namespace handling.
1807 1810
1808 1811 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1809 1812
1810 1813 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
1811 1814 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
1812 1815 trips the emacs python mode).
1813 1816 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
1814 1817 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
1815 1818 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
1816 1819 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
1817 1820 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
1818 1821 calls will be made at runtime.
1819 1822
1820 1823 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1821 1824
1822 1825 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
1823 1826 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
1824 1827 the call to %history.
1825 1828
1826 1829 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
1827 1830
1828 1831 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1829 1832
1830 1833 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
1831 1834 ipmagic() function calls.
1832 1835
1833 1836 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
1834 1837 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
1835 1838
1836 1839 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1837 1840
1838 1841 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
1839 1842 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
1840 1843 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
1841 1844 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
1842 1845 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
1843 1846 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
1844 1847 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
1845 1848 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
1846 1849
1847 1850 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1848 1851
1849 1852 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
1850 1853 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
1851 1854 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like

1855 1858 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1856 1859
1857 1860 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
1858 1861 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
1859 1862 define the ones they personally like.
1860 1863
1861 1864 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1862 1865
1863 1866 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
1864 1867 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
1865 1868
1866 1869 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1867 1870
1868 1871 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
1869 1872 into keys (for prompts, for example).
1870 1873
1871 1874 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
1872 1875 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
1873 1876 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
1874 1877 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
1875 1878 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
1876 1879 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
1877 1880 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
1878 1881 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
1879 1882
1880 1883 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
1881 1884 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
1882 1885 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
1883 1886 modified version of the original Debian patch at
1884 1887 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
1885 1888
1886 1889 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1887 1890
1888 1891 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
1889 1892 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
1890 1893 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
1891 1894
1892 1895 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
1893 1896 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
1894 1897 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
1895 1898
1896 1899 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
1897 1900
1898 1901 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1899 1902
1900 1903 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
1901 1904 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
1902 1905 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
1903 1906 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
1904 1907 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
1905 1908 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
1906 1909 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
1907 1910 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
1908 1911 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
1909 1912 system is a separate implementation).
1910 1913
1911 1914 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
1912 1915 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
1913 1916 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
1914 1917 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
1915 1918 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
1916 1919 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
1917 1920 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
1918 1921 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
1919 1922 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
1920 1923 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
1921 1924 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
1922 1925
1923 1926 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1924 1927
1925 1928 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
1926 1929 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
1927 1930 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
1928 1931 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
1929 1932 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
1930 1933 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
1931 1934 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
1932 1935 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
1933 1936
1934 1937 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1935 1938
1936 1939 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
1937 1940 previous call produced a syntax error.
1938 1941
1939 1942 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
1940 1943 classes without constructor.
1941 1944
1942 1945 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1943 1946
1944 1947 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
1945 1948 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
1946 1949 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
1947 1950 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
1948 1951 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
1949 1952 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
1950 1953 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
1951 1954
1952 1955 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1953 1956
1954 1957 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
1955 1958 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
1956 1959
1957 1960 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1958 1961
1959 1962 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
1960 1963 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
1961 1964 optimizations.
1962 1965
1963 1966 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
1964 1967 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
1965 1968
1966 1969 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1967 1970
1968 1971 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
1969 1972 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
1970 1973 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
1971 1974 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
1972 1975 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
1973 1976 avoid annoying the lists further.
1974 1977
1975 1978 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
1976 1979
1977 1980 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1978 1981
1979 1982 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
1980 1983 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
1981 1984 norm definitions.
1982 1985 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
1983 1986 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
1984 1987 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
1985 1988
1986 1989 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
1987 1990 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
1988 1991 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
1989 1992 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
1990 1993 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
1991 1994
1992 1995 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
1993 1996 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
1994 1997 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
1995 1998 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
1996 1999
1997 2000 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
1998 2001 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
1999 2002 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2000 2003 fixes.
2001 2004
2002 2005 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2003 2006 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2004 2007 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2005 2008 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2006 2009 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2007 2010 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2008 2011 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
2009 2012

2012 2015 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2013 2016
2014 2017 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2015 2018 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2016 2019 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2017 2020 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2018 2021 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2019 2022 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2020 2023 Panel.
2021 2024
2022 2025 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2023 2026 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2024 2027 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2025 2028 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2026 2029 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2027 2030
2028 2031 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2029 2032
2030 2033 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2031 2034 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
2032 2035
2033 2036 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
2034 2037
2035 2038 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2036 2039
2037 2040 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2038 2041 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2039 2042 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2040 2043 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2041 2044 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2042 2045 python shell.
2043 2046
2044 2047 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2045 2048 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2046 2049 on assignments. This closes
2047 2050 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2048 2051 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2049 2052 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
2050 2053
2051 2054 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2052 2055
2053 2056 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
2054 2057 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
2055 2058
2056 2059 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
2057 2060
2058 2061 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2059 2062
2060 2063 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
2061 2064 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
2062 2065
2063 2066 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2064 2067
2065 2068 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2066 2069 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
2067 2070 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
2068 2071
2069 2072 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2070 2073
2071 2074 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
2072 2075 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
2073 2076 'parent' object were present on the same line.
2074 2077
2075 2078 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2076 2079
2077 2080 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
2078 2081 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2079 2082 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2080 2083
2081 2084 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2082 2085 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2083 2086 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2084 2087
2085 2088 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2086 2089
2087 2090 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2088 2091 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2089 2092
2090 2093 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2091 2094
2092 2095 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2093 2096 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2094 2097 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2095 2098
2096 2099 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2097 2100
2098 2101 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2099 2102 reported by Prabhu.
2100 2103 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2101 2104 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2102 2105 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2103 2106
2104 2107 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2105 2108 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2106 2109
2107 2110 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2108 2111 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2109 2112 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2110 2113 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2111 2114 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2112 2115 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2113 2116
2114 2117 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2115 2118
2116 2119 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2117 2120
2118 2121 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2119 2122 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2120 2123 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2121 2124 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2122 2125
2123 2126 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2124 2127 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2125 2128
2126 2129 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2127 2130 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2128 2131 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2129 2132 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2130 2133 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2131 2134 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2132 2135 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2133 2136
2134 2137 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2135 2138 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2136 2139 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2137 2140
2138 2141 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2139 2142 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2140 2143 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2141 2144 before.
2142 2145
2143 2146 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2144 2147
2145 2148 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2146 2149 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2147 2150 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2148 2151 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2149 2152
2150 2153 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2151 2154 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2152 2155 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2153 2156 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2154 2157 timing very short-running code.
2155 2158
2156 2159 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2157 2160 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2158 2161 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2159 2162 utility.
2160 2163
2161 2164 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2162 2165 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2163 2166 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2164 2167 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2165 2168 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2166 2169 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2167 2170 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2168 2171 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2169 2172
2170 2173 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2171 2174 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2172 2175 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2173 2176
2174 2177 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2175 2178 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2176 2179 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2177 2180 is for).
2178 2181
2179 2182 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2180 2183 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2181 2184 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2182 2185 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2183 2186 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2184 2187
2185 2188 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2186 2189
2187 2190 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2188 2191 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2189 2192 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2190 2193 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2191 2194 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2192 2195
2193 2196 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2194 2197 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2195 2198 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2196 2199 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2197 2200 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2198 2201 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.

2202 2205 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2203 2206 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2204 2207
2205 2208 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2206 2209
2207 2210 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2208 2211 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2209 2212 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2210 2213 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2211 2214
2212 2215 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2213 2216
2214 2217 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2215 2218
2216 2219 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2217 2220 setting with -d option.
2218 2221
2219 2222 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2220 2223 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2221 2224 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2222 2225 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2223 2226
2224 2227 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2225 2228
2226 2229 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2227 2230 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2228 2231
2229 2232 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2230 2233 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2231 2234 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2232 2235 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2233 2236 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2234 2237 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2235 2238 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2236 2239 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2237 2240 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2238 2241 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2239 2242 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2240 2243
2241 2244 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2242 2245
2243 2246 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2244 2247 cache when empty lines were present.
2245 2248
2246 2249 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2247 2250
2248 2251 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2249 2252 options for WX and GTK.
2250 2253
2251 2254 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2252 2255
2253 2256 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2254 2257 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2255 2258 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2256 2259 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2257 2260 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2258 2261 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2259 2262 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2260 2263
2261 2264 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2262 2265 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2263 2266
2264 2267 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2265 2268
2266 2269 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2267 2270 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2268 2271 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2269 2272 many thanks.
2270 2273
2271 2274 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2272 2275 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2273 2276 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2274 2277
2275 2278 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2276 2279
2277 2280 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2278 2281 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2279 2282 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2280 2283
2281 2284 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2282 2285
2283 2286 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2284 2287
2285 2288 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2286 2289 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2287 2290 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2288 2291
2289 2292 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2290 2293
2291 2294 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2292 2295 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2293 2296
2294 2297 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2295 2298
2296 2299 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2297 2300 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2298 2301 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2299 2302 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2300 2303 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2301 2304 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2302 2305 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2303 2306
2304 2307 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2305 2308
2306 2309 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2307 2310 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2308 2311 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2309 2312 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2310 2313
2311 2314 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2312 2315 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2313 2316
2314 2317 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2315 2318
2316 2319 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2317 2320 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2318 2321
2319 2322 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2320 2323 use throughout ipython.
2321 2324
2322 2325 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2323 2326 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2324 2327
2325 2328 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2326 2329 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2327 2330 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2328 2331 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2329 2332
2330 2333 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2331 2334
2332 2335 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2333 2336 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2334 2337 report by Francesc Alted.
2335 2338
2336 2339 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2337 2340
2338 2341 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2339 2342 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2340 2343
2341 2344 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2342 2345
2343 2346 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2344 2347 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2345 2348 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2346 2349 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2347 2350 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2348 2351 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2349 2352 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2350 2353 correctly set.
2351 2354
2352 2355 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2353 2356
2354 2357 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2355 2358 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2356 2359 import requirement of PEP-328.
2357 2360
2358 2361 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2359 2362 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2360 2363 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2361 2364 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2362 2365
2363 2366 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2364 2367
2365 2368 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2366 2369
2367 2370 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2368 2371 via a normal python function call.
2369 2372
2370 2373 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2371 2374 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2372 2375 2.4.
2373 2376
2374 2377 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2375 2378
2376 2379 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2377 2380 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2378 2381 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2379 2382 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2380 2383 is given to the user).
2381 2384
2382 2385 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2383 2386
2384 2387 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2385 2388 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2386 2389 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2387 2390 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2388 2391
2389 2392 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2390 2393 python 2.2.
2391 2394
2392 2395 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2393 2396 banner arg for embedded customization.
2394 2397
2395 2398 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2396 2399 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2397 2400 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2398 2401 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2399 2402 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2400 2403 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2401 2404
2402 2405 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2403 2406 minor changes to debian dir.
2404 2407
2405 2408 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2406 2409 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2407 2410 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2408 2411 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
2409 2412
2410 2413 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2411 2414
2412 2415 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2413 2416 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
2414 2417 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
2415 2418 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
2416 2419 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
2417 2420
2418 2421 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2419 2422
2420 2423 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
2421 2424 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
2422 2425
2423 2426 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2424 2427
2425 2428 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
2426 2429 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
2427 2430
2428 2431 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
2429 2432
2430 2433 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2431 2434
2432 2435 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
2433 2436 updated.
2434 2437
2435 2438 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2436 2439
2437 2440 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
2438 2441 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
2439 2442 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
2440 2443 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
2441 2444 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
2442 2445
2443 2446 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
2444 2447 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
2445 2448 split regexp. Closes
2446 2449 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
2447 2450 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
2448 2451 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
2449 2452 extensions.
2450 2453
2451 2454 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
2452 2455 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
2453 2456 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
2454 2457 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
2455 2458 for generic code and for matplotlib.
2456 2459
2457 2460 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
2458 2461 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
2459 2462 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
2460 2463 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
2461 2464
2462 2465 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
2463 2466 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
2464 2467
2465 2468 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
2466 2469 fine-tune banner.
2467 2470
2468 2471 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
2469 2472 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
2470 2473
2471 2474 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2472 2475
2473 2476 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
2474 2477 were missing.
2475 2478
2476 2479 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
2477 2480 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
2478 2481 valid at the command line.
2479 2482
2480 2483 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
2481 2484 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
2482 2485
2483 2486 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2484 2487
2485 2488 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
2486 2489 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
2487 2490 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
2488 2491
2489 2492 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2490 2493
2491 2494 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
2492 2495 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
2493 2496 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
2494 2497 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
2495 2498 continue to use the standard profiler.
2496 2499
2497 2500 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2498 2501
2499 2502 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
2500 2503 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
2501 2504 close.
2502 2505
2503 2506 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2504 2507
2505 2508 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
2506 2509 in Magic and ultraTB.
2507 2510
2508 2511 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
2509 2512
2510 2513 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
2511 2514 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
2512 2515 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
2513 2516 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
2514 2517
2515 2518 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
2516 2519 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
2517 2520 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2518 2521 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
2519 2522 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
2520 2523 infrastructure in place.
2521 2524
2522 2525 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2523 2526
2524 2527 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
2525 2528
2526 2529 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
2527 2530 the pylab profile.
2528 2531
2529 2532 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
2530 2533
2531 2534 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2532 2535
2533 2536 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
2534 2537 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
2535 2538 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
2536 2539 itself.
2537 2540
2538 2541 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
2539 2542 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
2540 2543 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
2541 2544 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
2542 2545 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
2543 2546 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
2544 2547 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
2545 2548 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
2546 2549
2547 2550 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
2548 2551 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
2549 2552
2550 2553 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2551 2554
2552 2555 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
2553 2556 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
2554 2557 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2555 2558
2556 2559 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2557 2560
2558 2561 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
2559 2562 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
2560 2563
2561 2564 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2562 2565
2563 2566 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
2564 2567
2565 2568 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
2566 2569
2567 2570 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2568 2571
2569 2572 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
2570 2573 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
2571 2574 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
2572 2575
2573 2576 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2574 2577
2575 2578 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
2576 2579 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
2577 2580 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
2578 2581 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
2579 2582 works.
2580 2583
2581 2584 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
2582 2585 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
2583 2586 practice.
2584 2587
2585 2588 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2586 2589
2587 2590 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
2588 2591 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
2589 2592 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
2590 2593
2591 2594 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2592 2595
2593 2596 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
2594 2597 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
2595 2598 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
2596 2599 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
2597 2600
2598 2601 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2599 2602
2600 2603 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
2601 2604 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
2602 2605 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
2603 2606 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
2604 2607
2605 2608 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
2606 2609
2607 2610 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2608 2611
2609 2612 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
2610 2613 fail for any number.
2611 2614 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
2612 2615 empty bookmarks.
2613 2616
2614 2617 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
2615 2618
2616 2619 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2617 2620
2618 2621 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
2619 2622
2620 2623 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
2621 2624 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
2622 2625
2623 2626 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
2624 2627 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
2625 2628
2626 2629 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2627 2630
2628 2631 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
2629 2632 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
2630 2633 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
2631 2634 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
2632 2635 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
2633 2636
2634 2637 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2635 2638
2636 2639 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
2637 2640 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
2638 2641
2639 2642 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2640 2643
2641 2644 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
2642 2645 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
2643 2646 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
2644 2647 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
2645 2648
2646 2649 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
2647 2650 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
2648 2651 Schmolck.
2649 2652
2650 2653 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2651 2654
2652 2655 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
2653 2656
2654 2657 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
2655 2658 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
2656 2659
2657 2660 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
2658 2661 optimizations.
2659 2662
2660 2663 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
2661 2664 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
2662 2665
2663 2666 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2664 2667 --Started changelog.
2665 2668 --make clear do what it say it does
2666 2669 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
2667 2670 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
2668 2671 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
2669 2672 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
2670 2673 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
2671 2674 can be done for other cases.
2672 2675 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
2673 2676 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
2674 2677 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
2675 2678
2676 2679 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2677 2680 --added logfile rotation
2678 2681 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
2679 2682
2680 2683 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2681 2684 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
2682 2685 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
2683 2686 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
2684 2687 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
2685 2688 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
2686 2689 --added global logfile option
2687 2690 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
2688 2691 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
2689 2692
2690 2693 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
2691 2694 --added a README
2692 2695 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
2693 2696 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
2694 2697 bug or feature.
2695 2698 --changed rc file for new behavior
2696 2699
2697 2700 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2698 2701
2699 2702 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
2700 2703 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
2701 2704 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
2702 2705
2703 2706 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
2704 2707 information which was there from Janko's original code:
2705 2708
2706 2709 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
2707 2710
2708 2711 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
2709 2712 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
2710 2713 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
2711 2714 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
2712 2715 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
2713 2716 and prepended with a #.
2714 2717
2715 2718 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
2716 2719 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
2717 2720
2718 2721 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2719 2722
2720 2723 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
2721 2724 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
2722 2725
2723 2726 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2724 2727
2725 2728 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
2726 2729 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
2727 2730
2728 2731 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2729 2732
2730 2733 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
2731 2734 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
2732 2735 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
2733 2736
2734 2737 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2735 2738
2736 2739 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
2737 2740 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
2738 2741
2739 2742 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2740 2743 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
2741 2744 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
2742 2745 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
2743 2746 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
2744 2747 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
2745 2748 be implemented later).
2746 2749
2747 2750 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
2748 2751 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
2749 2752 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
2750 2753 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
2751 2754
2752 2755 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
2753 2756 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
2754 2757 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
2755 2758
2756 2759 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
2757 2760 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
2758 2761
2759 2762 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
2760 2763 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
2761 2764 readline make it impossible to go further.
2762 2765
2763 2766 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2764 2767
2765 2768 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
2766 2769 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
2767 2770
2768 2771 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2769 2772
2770 2773 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
2771 2774 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
2772 2775 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
2773 2776 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
2774 2777
2775 2778 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
2776 2779 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
2777 2780 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
2778 2781 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
2779 2782
2780 2783 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
2781 2784 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
2782 2785 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
2783 2786 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
2784 2787 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
2785 2788 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
2786 2789 problem.
2787 2790
2788 2791 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
2789 2792 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
2790 2793
2791 2794 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
2792 2795 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
2793 2796 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
2794 2797
2795 2798 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2796 2799
2797 2800 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
2798 2801 continue prompts.
2799 2802
2800 2803 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
2801 2804 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
2802 2805 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
2803 2806 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
2804 2807 byte-compilation saves time.
2805 2808
2806 2809 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2807 2810
2808 2811 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
2809 2812 -NUM', which was recently broken.
2810 2813
2811 2814 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
2812 2815 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
2813 2816
2814 2817 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
2815 2818 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
2816 2819 common cases where it's a problem.
2817 2820
2818 2821 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2819 2822
2820 2823 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
2821 2824 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
2822 2825 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
2823 2826 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
2824 2827 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
2825 2828 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
2826 2829
2827 2830 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2828 2831
2829 2832 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
2830 2833 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
2831 2834
2832 2835 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
2833 2836 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
2834 2837 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
2835 2838 structure as win_exec_ext.
2836 2839
2837 2840 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
2838 2841 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
2839 2842
2840 2843 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
2841 2844 delete aliases.
2842 2845
2843 2846 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
2844 2847 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
2845 2848
2846 2849 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2847 2850
2848 2851 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
2849 2852 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
2850 2853
2851 2854 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2852 2855
2853 2856 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
2854 2857 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
2855 2858
2856 2859 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
2857 2860 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
2858 2861
2859 2862 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
2860 2863 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
2861 2864 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
2862 2865 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
2863 2866 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
2864 2867 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
2865 2868
2866 2869 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
2867 2870 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
2868 2871 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
2869 2872
2870 2873 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
2871 2874 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
2872 2875 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
2873 2876
2874 2877 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
2875 2878 via an extra $. For example:
2876 2879
2877 2880 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
2878 2881
2879 2882 In [8]: !echo $PATH
2880 2883 a python variable
2881 2884
2882 2885 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
2883 2886 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
2884 2887
2885 2888 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
2886 2889 things prematurely.
2887 2890
2888 2891 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
2889 2892 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
2890 2893
2891 2894 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
2892 2895 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
2893 2896 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
2894 2897 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
2895 2898 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
2896 2899 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
2897 2900 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
2898 2901 programs in the user's path is obtained.
2899 2902
2900 2903 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
2901 2904 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
2902 2905 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
2903 2906 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
2904 2907 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
2905 2908 with the old system).
2906 2909
2907 2910 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2908 2911
2909 2912 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
2910 2913 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
2911 2914
2912 2915 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
2913 2916 call to eval.
2914 2917 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
2915 2918 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
2916 2919 in.
2917 2920
2918 2921 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2919 2922
2920 2923 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
2921 2924 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
2922 2925 confusion).
2923 2926
2924 2927 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
2925 2928 check for Windows users.
2926 2929
2927 2930 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
2928 2931 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
2929 2932 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
2930 2933 download it.
2931 2934
2932 2935 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2933 2936
2934 2937 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
2935 2938 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
2936 2939 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
2937 2940 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
2938 2941 of IDLE's out).
2939 2942
2940 2943 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
2941 2944 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
2942 2945 eventually.
2943 2946 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
2944 2947
2945 2948 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2946 2949
2947 2950 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
2948 2951 list of auto-defined aliases.
2949 2952
2950 2953 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2951 2954
2952 2955 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
2953 2956 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
2954 2957 things under Windows).
2955 2958
2956 2959 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2957 2960
2958 2961 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
2959 2962 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
2960 2963 reported by Thorsten.
2961 2964
2962 2965 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2963 2966
2964 2967 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
2965 2968 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
2966 2969 for all examples and the manual as well.
2967 2970
2968 2971 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2969 2972
2970 2973 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
2971 2974 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
2972 2975 inherit from BasePrompt.
2973 2976
2974 2977 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
2975 2978 with python version (since paths are fixed).
2976 2979
2977 2980 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
2978 2981 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
2979 2982 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
2980 2983 defaults.
2981 2984 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
2982 2985 this fix manually!
2983 2986
2984 2987 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
2985 2988 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
2986 2989 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
2987 2990 distutils).
2988 2991
2989 2992 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
2990 2993 usage of new '\D' escape.
2991 2994
2992 2995 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
2993 2996 lacks os.getuid())
2994 2997 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
2995 2998 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
2996 2999 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
2997 3000 handling mechanism.
2998 3001 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
2999 3002 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3000 3003 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3001 3004 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3002 3005 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3003 3006 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3004 3007 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3005 3008
3006 3009 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3007 3010
3008 3011 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3009 3012 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3010 3013 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3011 3014
3012 3015 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3013 3016 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3014 3017 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3015 3018 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3016 3019 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3017 3020 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3018 3021 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3019 3022 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3020 3023
3021 3024 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3022 3025 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3023 3026 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3024 3027 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3025 3028 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3026 3029 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3027 3030 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3028 3031 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3029 3032
3030 3033 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3031 3034 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3032 3035 functions uniform.
3033 3036 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3034 3037
3035 3038 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3036 3039 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3037 3040 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3038 3041 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3039 3042 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3040 3043 use to parse their options.
3041 3044
3042 3045 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3043 3046 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3044 3047 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3045 3048
3046 3049 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3047 3050 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3048 3051 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3049 3052 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3050 3053 via the prompt_specials.
3051 3054
3052 3055 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3053 3056
3054 3057 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3055 3058 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3056 3059 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3057 3060 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3058 3061 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3059 3062 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3060 3063 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3061 3064 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3062 3065
3063 3066 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3064 3067
3065 3068 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3066 3069 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3067 3070 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3068 3071
3069 3072 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3070 3073
3071 3074 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3072 3075 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3073 3076
3074 3077 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3075 3078
3076 3079 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3077 3080 parens would get passed to the shell.
3078 3081
3079 3082 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3080 3083
3081 3084 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3082 3085 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3083 3086
3084 3087 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3085 3088 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3086 3089 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3087 3090 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3088 3091 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3089 3092
3090 3093 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3091 3094 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3092 3095 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3093 3096 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3094 3097
3095 3098 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3096 3099
3097 3100 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3098 3101
3099 3102 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3100 3103 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3101 3104 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3102 3105
3103 3106 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3104 3107 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3105 3108 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3106 3109 official documentation.
3107 3110
3108 3111 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3109 3112
3110 3113 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3111 3114 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3112 3115 explicit filename.
3113 3116
3114 3117 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3115 3118
3116 3119 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3117 3120 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3118 3121 case.
3119 3122
3120 3123 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3121 3124 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3122 3125 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3123 3126
3124 3127 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3125 3128
3126 3129 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3127 3130
3128 3131 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3129 3132 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3130 3133 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3131 3134 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3132 3135 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3133 3136 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3134 3137 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3135 3138 any changes to python proper.
3136 3139
3137 3140 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3138 3141 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3139 3142 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3140 3143 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3141 3144 Schmolck.
3142 3145
3143 3146 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3144 3147
3145 3148 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3146 3149 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3147 3150 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3148 3151 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
3149 3152
3150 3153 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3151 3154
3152 3155 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3153 3156 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3154 3157 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3155 3158 name).
3156 3159
3157 3160 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3158 3161 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3159 3162 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3160 3163 Francois Pinard.
3161 3164
3162 3165 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3163 3166
3164 3167 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3165 3168 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3166 3169 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3167 3170 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3168 3171 not work.
3169 3172
3170 3173 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3171 3174
3172 3175 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3173 3176 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3174 3177 distinguishes stdout/err.
3175 3178
3176 3179 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3177 3180 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3178 3181 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3179 3182 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3180 3183 the standard library.
3181 3184
3182 3185 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3183 3186 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3184 3187
3185 3188 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3186 3189 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3187 3190
3188 3191 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3189 3192
3190 3193 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3191 3194 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3192 3195 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3193 3196 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3194 3197 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3195 3198 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3196 3199
3197 3200 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3198 3201
3199 3202 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3200 3203 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3201 3204 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3202 3205 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3203 3206
3204 3207 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3205 3208
3206 3209 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3207 3210 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3208 3211 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3209 3212 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3210 3213
3211 3214 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3212 3215
3213 3216 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3214 3217 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3215 3218 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3216 3219 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3217 3220 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3218 3221 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3219 3222 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3220 3223 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3221 3224
3222 3225 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3223 3226
3224 3227 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3225 3228 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3226 3229
3227 3230 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3228 3231
3229 3232 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3230 3233 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3231 3234 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3232 3235 very short.
3233 3236
3234 3237 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3235 3238
3236 3239 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3237 3240 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3238 3241 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3239 3242 this before making it permanent.
3240 3243
3241 3244 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3242 3245 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3243 3246 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3244 3247 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3245 3248
3246 3249 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3247 3250
3248 3251 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3249 3252 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3250 3253
3251 3254 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3252 3255
3253 3256 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3254 3257 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3255 3258 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3256 3259 cases I've missed.
3257 3260
3258 3261 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3259 3262
3260 3263 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3261 3264 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3262 3265 system would be triggered for @p.
3263 3266
3264 3267 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3265 3268 cleanups, code unmodified.
3266 3269
3267 3270 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3268 3271 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3269 3272 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3270 3273 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3271 3274 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3272 3275 The actual changes affect many files.
3273 3276
3274 3277 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3275 3278
3276 3279 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3277 3280 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3278 3281 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3279 3282
3280 3283 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3281 3284
3282 3285 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3283 3286 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3284 3287
3285 3288 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3286 3289
3287 3290 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3288 3291 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3289 3292 numpy list.
3290 3293
3291 3294 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3292 3295
3293 3296 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3294 3297 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3295 3298 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3296 3299 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3297 3300
3298 3301 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3299 3302
3300 3303 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3301 3304 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3302 3305 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3303 3306 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3304 3307
3305 3308 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3306 3309 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3307 3310
3308 3311 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3309 3312
3310 3313 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3311 3314 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3312 3315 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3313 3316 Collins.
3314 3317
3315 3318 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3316 3319
3317 3320 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3318 3321
3319 3322 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3320 3323 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3321 3324 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3322 3325
3323 3326 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3324 3327
3325 3328 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3326 3329 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3327 3330 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3328 3331 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3329 3332
3330 3333 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3331 3334 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3332 3335 __getitem__ and __call__.
3333 3336
3334 3337 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3335 3338
3336 3339 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3337 3340
3338 3341 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3339 3342 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3340 3343 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3341 3344 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3342 3345
3343 3346 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3344 3347 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3345 3348 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3346 3349 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3347 3350 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3348 3351 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3349 3352 necessary.
3350 3353
3351 3354 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3352 3355 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3353 3356 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3354 3357
3355 3358 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3356 3359 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3357 3360 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3358 3361 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3359 3362
3360 3363 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3361 3364 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3362 3365 generators.
3363 3366
3364 3367 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3365 3368 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3366 3369 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3367 3370 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3368 3371 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3369 3372 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3370 3373 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3371 3374
3372 3375 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3373 3376 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3374 3377 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3375 3378 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3376 3379 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3377 3380
3378 3381 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3379 3382 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3380 3383 edit under some circumstances.
3381 3384 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3382 3385 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3383 3386 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3384 3387 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3385 3388 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3386 3389 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3387 3390 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3388 3391 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3389 3392 need more testing.
3390 3393
3391 3394 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3392 3395
3393 3396 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3394 3397 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3395 3398 and simpler code.
3396 3399
3397 3400 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3398 3401
3399 3402 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3400 3403 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3401 3404 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3402 3405 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3403 3406 even if they were contiguous.
3404 3407 (l1norm): Added this function.
3405 3408 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3406 3409 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3407 3410 and speed.
3408 3411
3409 3412 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3410 3413
3411 3414 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3412 3415 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3413 3416 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
3414 3417
3415 3418 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3416 3419
3417 3420 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
3418 3421 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
3419 3422 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
3420 3423
3421 3424 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
3422 3425 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
3423 3426 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
3424 3427
3425 3428 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3426 3429
3427 3430 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
3428 3431 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
3429 3432 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
3430 3433 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
3431 3434 activity.
3432 3435
3433 3436 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3434 3437
3435 3438 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
3436 3439 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
3437 3440 Numeric.identity)
3438 3441
3439 3442 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3440 3443
3441 3444 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
3442 3445 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
3443 3446 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
3444 3447
3445 3448 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3446 3449
3447 3450 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
3448 3451 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
3449 3452 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
3450 3453 ipython behaves like normal python does.
3451 3454
3452 3455 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
3453 3456 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
3454 3457 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
3455 3458 is implemented).
3456 3459
3457 3460 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3458 3461
3459 3462 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
3460 3463 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
3461 3464 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
3462 3465
3463 3466 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
3464 3467 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
3465 3468 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
3466 3469 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
3467 3470 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
3468 3471
3469 3472 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
3470 3473
3471 3474 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3472 3475
3473 3476 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
3474 3477 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
3475 3478 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
3476 3479
3477 3480 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3478 3481
3479 3482 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
3480 3483 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
3481 3484 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
3482 3485
3483 3486 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
3484 3487 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
3485 3488 crash report from Prabhu.
3486 3489
3487 3490 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3488 3491
3489 3492 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
3490 3493 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
3491 3494 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
3492 3495 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3493 3496 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
3494 3497 also be useful in other cases.
3495 3498
3496 3499 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
3497 3500 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
3498 3501 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3499 3502
3500 3503 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
3501 3504
3502 3505 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3503 3506
3504 3507 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
3505 3508 installing for a new user under Windows.
3506 3509
3507 3510 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3508 3511
3509 3512 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
3510 3513 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
3511 3514 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
3512 3515 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
3513 3516 there.
3514 3517
3515 3518 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
3516 3519 info to crash reports.
3517 3520
3518 3521 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
3519 3522 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
3520 3523 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
3521 3524 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
3522 3525
3523 3526 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3524 3527
3525 3528 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
3526 3529 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
3527 3530 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
3528 3531 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
3529 3532
3530 3533 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3531 3534
3532 3535 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
3533 3536 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
3534 3537
3535 3538 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3536 3539
3537 3540 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
3538 3541 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
3539 3542
3540 3543 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
3541 3544
3542 3545 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3543 3546
3544 3547 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
3545 3548 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
3546 3549 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
3547 3550
3548 3551 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
3549 3552 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
3550 3553 with the new auto-indent option.
3551 3554
3552 3555 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3553 3556
3554 3557 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
3555 3558 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
3556 3559 this class from the main Shell class.
3557 3560
3558 3561 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
3559 3562 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
3560 3563 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
3561 3564 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
3562 3565 option).
3563 3566
3564 3567 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
3565 3568 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
3566 3569 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
3567 3570 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
3568 3571 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
3569 3572
3570 3573 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
3571 3574 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
3572 3575 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3573 3576
3574 3577 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
3575 3578 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
3576 3579 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
3577 3580 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
3578 3581 tracebacks.
3579 3582
3580 3583 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
3581 3584 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
3582 3585 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
3583 3586
3584 3587 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3585 3588
3586 3589 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
3587 3590 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
3588 3591 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
3589 3592 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
3590 3593
3591 3594 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3592 3595
3593 3596 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
3594 3597 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
3595 3598 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
3596 3599 for the bug report.
3597 3600
3598 3601 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3599 3602
3600 3603 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
3601 3604 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
3602 3605 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
3603 3606 report.
3604 3607
3605 3608 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3606 3609
3607 3610 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
3608 3611 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
3609 3612 end).
3610 3613
3611 3614 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
3612 3615 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
3613 3616 too often, or I would have heard about it.
3614 3617
3615 3618 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3616 3619
3617 3620 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
3618 3621 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
3619 3622 for the patch.
3620 3623
3621 3624 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3622 3625
3623 3626 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
3624 3627 functions.
3625 3628

3628 3631 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3629 3632
3630 3633 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
3631 3634 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
3632 3635 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
3633 3636 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
3634 3637 private fix.
3635 3638
3636 3639 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
3637 3640 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
3638 3641 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
3639 3642 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
3640 3643 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
3641 3644 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
3642 3645 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
3643 3646 fixed for this setup.
3644 3647
3645 3648 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
3646 3649 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
3647 3650
3648 3651 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
3649 3652
3650 3653 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3651 3654
3652 3655 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
3653 3656 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
3654 3657 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
3655 3658 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
3656 3659 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
3657 3660 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
3658 3661 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
3659 3662 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
3660 3663 annoying bug is finally fixed.
3661 3664
3662 3665 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
3663 3666 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3664 3667 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
3665 3668
3666 3669 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
3667 3670
3668 3671 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3669 3672
3670 3673 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
3671 3674 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
3672 3675 pickle-related issue in @run).
3673 3676
3674 3677 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3675 3678
3676 3679 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
3677 3680 the autocall option at runtime.
3678 3681 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
3679 3682 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
3680 3683 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
3681 3684 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
3682 3685 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
3683 3686 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
3684 3687 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
3685 3688 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
3686 3689 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
3687 3690 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
3688 3691 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
3689 3692 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
3690 3693 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
3691 3694 pickles to save something sensible.
3692 3695
3693 3696 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
3694 3697
3695 3698 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
3696 3699 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
3697 3700 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
3698 3701
3699 3702 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3700 3703
3701 3704 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
3702 3705 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
3703 3706
3704 3707 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
3705 3708
3706 3709 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
3707 3710 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
3708 3711 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
3709 3712 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
3710 3713
3711 3714 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3712 3715
3713 3716 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
3714 3717 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
3715 3718 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
3716 3719 array is non-contiguous.
3717 3720
3718 3721 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3719 3722
3720 3723 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
3721 3724 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
3722 3725 executed).
3723 3726 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
3724 3727 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
3725 3728 output.
3726 3729 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
3727 3730 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
3728 3731 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
3729 3732 changing.
3730 3733
3731 3734 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
3732 3735
3733 3736 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3734 3737
3735 3738 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
3736 3739 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
3737 3740 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
3738 3741 are removed only at IPython's exit.
3739 3742 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
3740 3743 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
3741 3744 like a normal command-line.
3742 3745
3743 3746 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
3744 3747 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
3745 3748 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
3746 3749 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
3747 3750
3748 3751 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3749 3752
3750 3753 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
3751 3754 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
3752 3755 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
3753 3756 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
3754 3757
3755 3758 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3756 3759
3757 3760 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
3758 3761 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
3759 3762 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
3760 3763 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
3761 3764 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
3762 3765 think it's worth doing.
3763 3766
3764 3767 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
3765 3768
3766 3769 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3767 3770
3768 3771 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
3769 3772 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
3770 3773
3771 3774 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
3772 3775 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
3773 3776 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
3774 3777 also work ok.
3775 3778
3776 3779 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
3777 3780
3778 3781 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3779 3782
3780 3783 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
3781 3784
3782 3785 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
3783 3786 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
3784 3787 of gnuplot data files.
3785 3788
3786 3789 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3787 3790
3788 3791 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
3789 3792 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
3790 3793
3791 3794 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3792 3795
3793 3796 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
3794 3797 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
3795 3798 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
3796 3799 for pointing this out.
3797 3800
3798 3801 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3799 3802
3800 3803 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
3801 3804
3802 3805 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
3803 3806 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
3804 3807 Interactive.
3805 3808
3806 3809 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
3807 3810 being imported from iplib.
3808 3811
3809 3812 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
3810 3813 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
3811 3814 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
3812 3815 common name.
3813 3816
3814 3817 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
3815 3818 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
3816 3819
3817 3820 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
3818 3821 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
3819 3822
3820 3823 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
3821 3824 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
3822 3825 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
3823 3826 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
3824 3827 docstrings).
3825 3828
3826 3829 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3827 3830
3828 3831 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
3829 3832 (inconsistent with options).
3830 3833
3831 3834 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
3832 3835 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
3833 3836 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
3834 3837 eps output.
3835 3838
3836 3839 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3837 3840
3838 3841 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
3839 3842 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
3840 3843 Pinard.
3841 3844
3842 3845 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3843 3846
3844 3847 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
3845 3848 history file for new users.
3846 3849 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
3847 3850 user running in the .ipython dir.
3848 3851 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
3849 3852 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
3850 3853 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
3851 3854
3852 3855 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
3853 3856 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
3854 3857 consistently.
3855 3858
3856 3859 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
3857 3860 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
3858 3861 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
3859 3862 libraries I don't have access to.
3860 3863
3861 3864 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
3862 3865 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
3863 3866 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
3864 3867 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
3865 3868 report.
3866 3869
3867 3870 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3868 3871
3869 3872 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
3870 3873 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
3871 3874 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
3872 3875 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
3873 3876
3874 3877 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3875 3878
3876 3879 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
3877 3880 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
3878 3881 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
3879 3882 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
3880 3883 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
3881 3884 instance has been created.
3882 3885
3883 3886 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
3884 3887 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
3885 3888 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
3886 3889 dict by hand.
3887 3890
3888 3891 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3889 3892
3890 3893 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
3891 3894 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
3892 3895 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
3893 3896 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
3894 3897 broken.
3895 3898
3896 3899 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
3897 3900 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
3898 3901 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
3899 3902 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
3900 3903
3901 3904 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
3902 3905 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
3903 3906 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
3904 3907 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
3905 3908 is a valid one.
3906 3909
3907 3910 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
3908 3911 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
3909 3912 confirmation to have yes as the default.
3910 3913
3911 3914 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
3912 3915 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
3913 3916 simply leftover junk.
3914 3917
3915 3918 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3916 3919
3917 3920 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
3918 3921 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
3919 3922 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
3920 3923
3921 3924 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
3922 3925 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
3923 3926 exceptions.
3924 3927
3925 3928 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3926 3929
3927 3930 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
3928 3931 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
3929 3932 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
3930 3933 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
3931 3934 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
3932 3935
3933 3936 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
3934 3937 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
3935 3938
3936 3939 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
3937 3940 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
3938 3941 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
3939 3942 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
3940 3943 problem mentioned below.
3941 3944
3942 3945 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3943 3946
3944 3947 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
3945 3948 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
3946 3949
3947 3950 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
3948 3951 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
3949 3952 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
3950 3953 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
3951 3954 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
3952 3955
3953 3956 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
3954 3957 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
3955 3958 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
3956 3959 actual function names.
3957 3960
3958 3961 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
3959 3962 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
3960 3963 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
3961 3964 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
3962 3965 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
3963 3966 really be only function/method names.
3964 3967
3965 3968 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3966 3969
3967 3970 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
3968 3971 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
3969 3972 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
3970 3973
3971 3974 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3972 3975
3973 3976 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
3974 3977 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
3975 3978 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
3976 3979
3977 3980 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
3978 3981 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
3979 3982
3980 3983 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
3981 3984 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
3982 3985 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
3983 3986
3984 3987 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
3985 3988 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
3986 3989 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
3987 3990
3988 3991 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6

3996 3999
3997 4000 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3998 4001
3999 4002 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4000 4003 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4001 4004 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4002 4005
4003 4006 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4004 4007
4005 4008 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4006 4009 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4007 4010
4008 4011 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4009 4012 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4010 4013
4011 4014 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4012 4015 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4013 4016
4014 4017 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4015 4018
4016 4019 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4017 4020 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4018 4021 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4019 4022 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4020 4023
4021 4024 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4022 4025
4023 4026 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4024 4027 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4025 4028 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4026 4029
4027 4030 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4028 4031
4029 4032 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4030 4033 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4031 4034 workaround).
4032 4035
4033 4036 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4034 4037
4035 4038 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4036 4039 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4037 4040
4038 4041 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4039 4042
4040 4043 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4041 4044 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4042 4045
4043 4046 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4044 4047 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4045 4048 .strip() is called on it.
4046 4049
4047 4050
4048 4051 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4049 4052
4050 4053 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4051 4054 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4052 4055 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4053 4056
4054 4057 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4055 4058 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4056 4059
4057 4060 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4058 4061 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4059 4062 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4060 4063
4061 4064 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4062 4065
4063 4066 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4064 4067 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4065 4068 __main__.
4066 4069
4067 4070 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4068 4071 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4069 4072
4070 4073 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4071 4074 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4072 4075 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4073 4076 Mathematica behaves.
4074 4077
4075 4078 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4076 4079
4077 4080 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4078 4081 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4079 4082
4080 4083 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4081 4084 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4082 4085 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4083 4086
4084 4087 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4085 4088 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4086 4089
4087 4090 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4088 4091
4089 4092 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4090 4093 underflow problems in Numeric.
4091 4094 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4092 4095 for exact integer powers of 2.
4093 4096
4094 4097 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4095 4098 properly.
4096 4099
4097 4100 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4098 4101
4099 4102 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4100 4103 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4101 4104
4102 4105 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4103 4106
4104 4107 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4105 4108 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4106 4109
4107 4110 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4108 4111
4109 4112 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4110 4113 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4111 4114 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4112 4115 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4113 4116 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4114 4117 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4115 4118 times).
4116 4119
4117 4120 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4118 4121 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4119 4122 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4120 4123
4121 4124 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4122 4125
4123 4126 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4124 4127 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4125 4128 embedded code.
4126 4129
4127 4130 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4128 4131 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4129 4132 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4130 4133
4131 4134 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4132 4135 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4133 4136 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4134 4137 less special-casing to remember.
4135 4138
4136 4139 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4137 4140
4138 4141 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4139 4142 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4140 4143 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4141 4144 arg is not a defined object.
4142 4145 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4143 4146 a Mike Heeter idea.
4144 4147
4145 4148 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4146 4149 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4147 4150 interactive use.
4148 4151
4149 4152 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4150 4153 filenames.
4151 4154
4152 4155 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4153 4156
4154 4157 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4155 4158 initialization via another struct.
4156 4159
4157 4160 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4158 4161 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4159 4162
4160 4163 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4161 4164
4162 4165 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4163 4166 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4164 4167 too big).
4165 4168
4166 4169 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4167 4170
4168 4171 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4169 4172 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4170 4173 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4171 4174 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4172 4175
4173 4176 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4174 4177
4175 4178 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4176 4179 macros having broken.
4177 4180
4178 4181 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4179 4182
4180 4183 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4181 4184 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4182 4185 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4183 4186 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4184 4187 not to lists.
4185 4188
4186 4189 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4187 4190
4188 4191 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4189 4192 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4190 4193 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4191 4194
4192 4195 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4193 4196 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4194 4197
4195 4198 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4196 4199 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4197 4200 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4198 4201
4199 4202 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4200 4203 triple-quoted strings.
4201 4204
4202 4205 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4203 4206 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4204 4207 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4205 4208 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4206 4209 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4207 4210 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4208 4211
4209 4212 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4210 4213
4211 4214 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4212 4215 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4213 4216 ultraTB).
4214 4217
4215 4218 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4216 4219
4217 4220 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4218 4221 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4219 4222 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4220 4223 user's 'g' variables).
4221 4224
4222 4225 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4223 4226 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4224 4227 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4225 4228 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4226 4229 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4227 4230 macros.
4228 4231
4229 4232 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4230 4233
4231 4234 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4232 4235 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4233 4236
4234 4237 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4235 4238 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4236 4239 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4237 4240
4238 4241 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4239 4242
4240 4243 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4241 4244 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4242 4245 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4243 4246 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4244 4247 aliases.
4245 4248
4246 4249 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4247 4250
4248 4251 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4249 4252 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4250 4253 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4251 4254 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4252 4255
4253 4256 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4254 4257
4255 4258 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4256 4259 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4257 4260 user-defined functions overrode them.
4258 4261
4259 4262 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4260 4263
4261 4264 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4262 4265 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4263 4266
4264 4267 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4265 4268
4266 4269 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4267 4270 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4268 4271 IPython.
4269 4272
4270 4273 * Released 0.2.13
4271 4274
4272 4275 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4273 4276 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4274 4277 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4275 4278 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4276 4279
4277 4280 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4278 4281
4279 4282 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4280 4283 magic properly formatted for screen.
4281 4284
4282 4285 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4283 4286 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4284 4287
4285 4288 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4286 4289 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4287 4290 etc.)
4288 4291
4289 4292 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4290 4293
4291 4294 * Released 0.2.12
4292 4295
4293 4296 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4294 4297
4295 4298 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4296 4299 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4297 4300 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4298 4301 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4299 4302 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4300 4303 an alias to @run -i.
4301 4304
4302 4305 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4303 4306 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4304 4307
4305 4308 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4306 4309
4307 4310 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4308 4311 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4309 4312 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4310 4313
4311 4314 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4312 4315 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4313 4316 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4314 4317 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4315 4318 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4316 4319 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4317 4320 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4318 4321
4319 4322 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4320 4323
4321 4324 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4322 4325 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4323 4326 printed).
4324 4327
4325 4328 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4326 4329 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4327 4330 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4328 4331
4329 4332 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4330 4333 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4331 4334
4332 4335 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4333 4336 handle magic commands in them.
4334 4337 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4335 4338 ~/mylog' now works.
4336 4339
4337 4340 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4338 4341 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4339 4342
4340 4343 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4341 4344
4342 4345 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4343 4346 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4344 4347
4345 4348 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4346 4349 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4347 4350 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4348 4351 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4349 4352 variables are in the context of an exception.
4350 4353 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4351 4354 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4352 4355
4353 4356 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4354 4357 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4355 4358
4356 4359 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4357 4360
4358 4361 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4359 4362 magics can parse options easier.
4360 4363 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4361 4364 suggested by Chris Hart.
4362 4365 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4363 4366 directory actually is in history.
4364 4367
4365 4368 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4366 4369 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4367 4370 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4368 4371
4369 4372 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4370 4373 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4371 4374 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4372 4375 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4373 4376
4374 4377 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4375 4378
4376 4379 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4377 4380 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4378 4381
4379 4382 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4380 4383 text (was a bug).
4381 4384
4382 4385 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4383 4386
4384 4387 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4385 4388 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4386 4389 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4387 4390
4388 4391 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4389 4392
4390 4393 * Released 0.2.10
4391 4394
4392 4395 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4393 4396
4394 4397 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4395 4398 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4396 4399
4397 4400 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4398 4401
4399 4402 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4400 4403 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4401 4404
4402 4405 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4403 4406
4404 4407 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4405 4408 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4406 4409 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4407 4410 __init__.py)
4408 4411
4409 4412 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4410 4413
4411 4414 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4412 4415 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4413 4416 test for being inside IPython.
4414 4417
4415 4418 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
4416 4419 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
4417 4420 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
4418 4421 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
4419 4422
4420 4423 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4421 4424
4422 4425 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
4423 4426 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
4424 4427 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
4425 4428
4426 4429 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
4427 4430 embedding example to standard user directory for
4428 4431 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
4429 4432
4430 4433 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
4431 4434 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
4432 4435 hidden global).
4433 4436
4434 4437 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
4435 4438 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
4436 4439 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
4437 4440 case.
4438 4441
4439 4442 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4440 4443
4441 4444 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
4442 4445 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
4443 4446 start.
4444 4447
4445 4448 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
4446 4449 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
4447 4450 Numeric or math.
4448 4451
4449 4452 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
4450 4453 provided profiles. Now we have:
4451 4454 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
4452 4455 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
4453 4456 -physics -> same as before
4454 4457
4455 4458 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
4456 4459 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
4457 4460 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
4458 4461 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
4459 4462 string adds).
4460 4463
4461 4464 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
4462 4465 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
4463 4466 line with the gnuplot code).
4464 4467
4465 4468 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4466 4469
4467 4470 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
4468 4471 all included files change.
4469 4472
4470 4473 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
4471 4474 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
4472 4475
4473 4476 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
4474 4477 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
4475 4478 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
4476 4479
4477 4480 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
4478 4481 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
4479 4482
4480 4483 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
4481 4484 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
4482 4485
4483 4486 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
4484 4487 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
4485 4488 now accessible.
4486 4489
4487 4490 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
4488 4491 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
4489 4492 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
4490 4493 removed.
4491 4494 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
4492 4495 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
4493 4496 don't crash.
4494 4497 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
4495 4498 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
4496 4499 remains available.
4497 4500
4498 4501 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4499 4502
4500 4503 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
4501 4504
4502 4505 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4503 4506
4504 4507 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
4505 4508 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
4506 4509 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
4507 4510 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
4508 4511
4509 4512 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4510 4513
4511 4514 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
4512 4515 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
4513 4516 sync with the output counter.
4514 4517
4515 4518 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
4516 4519 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
4517 4520
4518 4521 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4519 4522
4520 4523 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
4521 4524 readline, fix it back after each call.
4522 4525
4523 4526 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
4524 4527 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
4525 4528 traceback references are properly deleted.
4526 4529
4527 4530 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
4528 4531 improve printing when pprint is in use.
4529 4532
4530 4533 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4531 4534
4532 4535 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
4533 4536 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
4534 4537 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
4535 4538 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
4536 4539 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
4537 4540 to catch SystemExit).
4538 4541
4539 4542 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
4540 4543 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
4541 4544 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
4542 4545 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
4543 4546 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
4544 4547 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
4545 4548
4546 4549 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4547 4550
4548 4551 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
4549 4552 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
4550 4553 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
4551 4554
4552 4555 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
4553 4556 configurable (it should have always been so).
4554 4557
4555 4558 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4556 4559
4557 4560 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
4558 4561 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
4559 4562 done in a more elegant way.
4560 4563
4561 4564 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4562 4565
4563 4566 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
4564 4567 win9x also.
4565 4568
4566 4569 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4567 4570
4568 4571 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
4569 4572 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
4570 4573
4571 4574 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4572 4575
4573 4576 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
4574 4577
4575 4578 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
4576 4579 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
4577 4580
4578 4581 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
4579 4582 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
4580 4583
4581 4584 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
4582 4585 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
4583 4586
4584 4587 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
4585 4588 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
4586 4589
4587 4590 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4588 4591
4589 4592 * Released 0.2.8
4590 4593
4591 4594 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
4592 4595 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
4593 4596 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
4594 4597 on' so that the first tab completes.
4595 4598 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
4596 4599 quotes breaking many magic commands.
4597 4600
4598 4601 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
4599 4602 installation.
4600 4603
4601 4604 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
4602 4605 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
4603 4606
4604 4607 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4605 4608
4606 4609 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
4607 4610 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
4608 4611 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
4609 4612
4610 4613 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
4611 4614 setting __name__=='__main__'.
4612 4615
4613 4616 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
4614 4617 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
4615 4618 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
4616 4619 suggestion.
4617 4620
4618 4621 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
4619 4622 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
4620 4623 Baecker for pointing this to me.
4621 4624
4622 4625 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
4623 4626 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
4624 4627
4625 4628 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4626 4629
4627 4630 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
4628 4631 which properly handles things for windows users.
4629 4632
4630 4633 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4631 4634
4632 4635 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
4633 4636 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
4634 4637 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
4635 4638 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
4636 4639 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
4637 4640
4638 4641 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
4639 4642
4640 4643 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4641 4644
4642 4645 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
4643 4646 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
4644 4647
4645 4648 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4646 4649
4647 4650 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
4648 4651 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
4649 4652 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
4650 4653 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
4651 4654 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
4652 4655 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
4653 4656
4654 4657 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4655 4658
4656 4659 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
4657 4660 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
4658 4661
4659 4662 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
4660 4663 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
4661 4664 cache at 20 values.
4662 4665
4663 4666 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
4664 4667 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
4665 4668 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
4666 4669 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
4667 4670
4668 4671 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
4669 4672 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
4670 4673 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
4671 4674 'file show').
4672 4675
4673 4676 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
4674 4677 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
4675 4678
4676 4679 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
4677 4680 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
4678 4681 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
4679 4682
4680 4683 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
4681 4684 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
4682 4685 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
4683 4686 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
4684 4687
4685 4688 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
4686 4689 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
4687 4690 the prompt strings.
4688 4691
4689 4692 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4690 4693
4691 4694 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
4692 4695 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
4693 4696
4694 4697 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
4695 4698 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
4696 4699 either globally or at each call.
4697 4700
4698 4701 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
4699 4702 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
4700 4703 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
4701 4704 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
4702 4705
4703 4706 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4704 4707
4705 4708 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
4706 4709 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
4707 4710
4708 4711 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
4709 4712
4710 4713 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
4711 4714 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
4712 4715 learning some lisp...
4713 4716
4714 4717 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4715 4718
4716 4719 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
4717 4720 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
4718 4721 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
4719 4722 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
4720 4723
4721 4724 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
4722 4725 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
4723 4726 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
4724 4727
4725 4728 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4726 4729
4727 4730 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
4728 4731 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
4729 4732 control to emacs users.
4730 4733
4731 4734 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
4732 4735 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
4733 4736 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
4734 4737 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
4735 4738 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
4736 4739 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
4737 4740
4738 4741 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4739 4742
4740 4743 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
4741 4744
4742 4745 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
4743 4746 @logstate magic was created.
4744 4747
4745 4748 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
4746 4749 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
4747 4750
4748 4751 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4749 4752
4750 4753 * Released 0.2.6.
4751 4754
4752 4755 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
4753 4756 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
4754 4757
4755 4758 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
4756 4759 SciPy.
4757 4760
4758 4761 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
4759 4762 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
4760 4763 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
4761 4764 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
4762 4765 the section on embedding and the example file.
4763 4766
4764 4767 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
4765 4768 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
4766 4769 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
4767 4770
4768 4771 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
4769 4772 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
4770 4773 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
4771 4774
4772 4775 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
4773 4776 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
4774 4777 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
4775 4778 for this to work.
4776 4779
4777 4780 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4778 4781
4779 4782 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
4780 4783 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
4781 4784 well inside Emacs buffers.
4782 4785 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
4783 4786 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
4784 4787 same bug in iplib.
4785 4788
4786 4789 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4787 4790
4788 4791 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
4789 4792 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
4790 4793
4791 4794 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
4792 4795 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
4793 4796 and keeps PyChecker happy).
4794 4797
4795 4798 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
4796 4799 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
4797 4800 display is done.
4798 4801
4799 4802 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
4800 4803 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
4801 4804
4802 4805 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
4803 4806 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
4804 4807 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
4805 4808 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
4806 4809 like in Octave.
4807 4810
4808 4811 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
4809 4812 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
4810 4813
4811 4814 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4812 4815
4813 4816 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
4814 4817 whole file a little.
4815 4818
4816 4819 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
4817 4820 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
4818 4821 end-user distro.
4819 4822
4820 4823 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
4821 4824 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
4822 4825 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
4823 4826
4824 4827 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
4825 4828 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
4826 4829
4827 4830 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
4828 4831 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
4829 4832 for @file.
4830 4833
4831 4834 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
4832 4835 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
4833 4836 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
4834 4837 the code a bit easier.
4835 4838
4836 4839 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
4837 4840 information to crash reports.
4838 4841
4839 4842 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4840 4843
4841 4844 * Released 0.2.5.
4842 4845
4843 4846 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4844 4847
4845 4848 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
4846 4849 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
4847 4850 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
4848 4851
4849 4852 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4850 4853
4851 4854 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
4852 4855 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
4853 4856 have thigs work as expected.
4854 4857
4855 4858 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
4856 4859 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
4857 4860 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
4858 4861 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
4859 4862 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
4860 4863
4861 4864 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
4862 4865 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
4863 4866
4864 4867 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4865 4868
4866 4869 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
4867 4870 user config files with os-native line-endings.
4868 4871
4869 4872 * README and manual updates.
4870 4873
4871 4874 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
4872 4875 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
4873 4876
4874 4877 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
4875 4878 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
4876 4879
4877 4880 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
4878 4881 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
4879 4882 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
4880 4883 extension-less files.
4881 4884
4882 4885 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
4883 4886 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
4884 4887 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
4885 4888
4886 4889 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
4887 4890 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
4888 4891
4889 4892 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
4890 4893 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
4891 4894 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
4892 4895 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
4893 4896 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
4894 4897 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
4895 4898 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
4896 4899 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
4897 4900 least make manually a shortcut.
4898 4901
4899 4902 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
4900 4903 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
4901 4904 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
4902 4905 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
4903 4906 runtime, with @colors.
4904 4907 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
4905 4908 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
4906 4909
4907 4910 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4908 4911
4909 4912 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
4910 4913 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
4911 4914 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
4912 4915 read the startup info.
4913 4916
4914 4917 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4915 4918
4916 4919 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
4917 4920 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
4918 4921 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
4919 4922 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
4920 4923 type the better off we are.
4921 4924 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
4922 4925 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
4923 4926 before.
4924 4927
4925 4928 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4926 4929
4927 4930 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
4928 4931 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
4929 4932 this later.
4930 4933
4931 4934 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4932 4935
4933 4936 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
4934 4937 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
4935 4938 (they can be triggered by imported code).
4936 4939
4937 4940 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4938 4941
4939 4942 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
4940 4943 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
4941 4944 spitting out only offset information as before.
4942 4945 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
4943 4946 programs with command line args inside IPython.
4944 4947
4945 4948 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4946 4949
4947 4950 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
4948 4951 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
4949 4952 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
4950 4953 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
4951 4954 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
4952 4955 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
4953 4956 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
4954 4957 macros.
4955 4958
4956 4959 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4957 4960
4958 4961 * Released 0.2.4.
4959 4962
4960 4963 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
4961 4964 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
4962 4965 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
4963 4966 re-execution.
4964 4967
4965 4968 * Updated manual with recent changes.
4966 4969
4967 4970 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
4968 4971 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
4969 4972 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
4970 4973 documented, of course :)
4971 4974 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
4972 4975 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
4973 4976 __call__ info for callable object instances.
4974 4977
4975 4978 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4976 4979
4977 4980 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
4978 4981 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
4979 4982 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
4980 4983
4981 4984 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4982 4985
4983 4986 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
4984 4987 so I wanted an updated release).
4985 4988
4986 4989 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4987 4990
4988 4991 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
4989 4992 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
4990 4993 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
4991 4994 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
4992 4995 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
4993 4996
4994 4997 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4995 4998
4996 4999 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
4997 5000 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
4998 5001
4999 5002 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5000 5003
5001 5004 * Released 0.2.2.
5002 5005
5003 5006 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5004 5007 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5005 5008 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5006 5009 versions.
5007 5010
5008 5011 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5009 5012 (MayaVi author).
5010 5013
5011 5014 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5012 5015
5013 5016 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5014 5017 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5015 5018 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5016 5019 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5017 5020 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5018 5021
5019 5022 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5020 5023 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5021 5024
5022 5025 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5023 5026
5024 5027 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5025 5028 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5026 5029 nice, full-blown manual.
5027 5030
5028 5031 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5029 5032 trivially simple for end-users.
5030 5033
5031 5034 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5032 5035
5033 5036 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5034 5037 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5035 5038
5036 5039 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5037 5040 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5038 5041
5039 5042 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5040 5043
5041 5044 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5042 5045 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5043 5046 people to later upgrade versions.
5044 5047
5045 5048 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5046 5049 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5047 5050 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5048 5051 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5049 5052 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5050 5053 SystemExit).
5051 5054
5052 5055 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5053 5056 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5054 5057 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5055 5058 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5056 5059 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5057 5060
5058 5061 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5059 5062 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5060 5063 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5061 5064
5062 5065 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5063 5066
5064 5067 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5065 5068 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5066 5069
5067 5070 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5068 5071 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5069 5072 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5070 5073 html docs out of it will be found).
5071 5074
5072 5075 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5073 5076
5074 5077 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5075 5078 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5076 5079
5077 5080 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5078 5081
5079 5082 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5080 5083 visiting any directory in _dh.
5081 5084
5082 5085 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5083 5086 it out with numbers.
5084 5087
5085 5088 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5086 5089
5087 5090 * Released 0.1.22
5088 5091
5089 5092 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5090 5093 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5091 5094
5092 5095 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5093 5096 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5094 5097 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5095 5098 screen the necessary mail command.
5096 5099
5097 5100 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5098 5101 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5099 5102 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5100 5103
5101 5104 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5102 5105
5103 5106 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5104 5107 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5105 5108 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5106 5109 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5107 5110 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5108 5111 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5109 5112 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5110 5113 its name).
5111 5114
5112 5115 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5113 5116 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5114 5117 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5115 5118 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5116 5119
5117 5120 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5118 5121
5119 5122 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5120 5123 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5121 5124
5122 5125 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5123 5126 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5124 5127
5125 5128 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5126 5129 completion of @-starting lines.
5127 5130
5128 5131 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5129 5132 info that other files can read from.
5130 5133
5131 5134 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5132 5135 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5133 5136 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5134 5137 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5135 5138 restores produce less errors.
5136 5139
5137 5140 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5138 5141 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5139 5142 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5140 5143 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5141 5144 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5142 5145
5143 5146 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5144 5147 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5145 5148 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5146 5149 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5147 5150 with this, finally...
5148 5151
5149 5152 * Small documentation updates.
5150 5153
5151 5154 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5152 5155 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5153 5156 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5154 5157
5155 5158 * File renaming:
5156 5159 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5157 5160 ipplib --> iplib
5158 5161 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5159 5162
5160 5163 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5161 5164 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5162 5165 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5163 5166
5164 5167 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5165 5168 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5166 5169 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5167 5170
5168 5171 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5169 5172
5170 5173 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5171 5174 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5172 5175 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5173 5176 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5174 5177
5175 5178 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5176 5179 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5177 5180 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5178 5181
5179 5182 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5180 5183 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5181 5184 road.
5182 5185
5183 5186 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5184 5187 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5185 5188 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5186 5189 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5187 5190
5188 5191 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5189 5192
5190 5193 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5191 5194 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5192 5195 file accordingly.
5193 5196
5194 5197 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5195 5198 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5196 5199 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5197 5200 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5198 5201 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5199 5202 separators and proper padding and justification.
5200 5203
5201 5204 * Released 0.1.20
5202 5205
5203 5206 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5204 5207 copy operation was missing).
5205 5208
5206 5209 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5207 5210 its output is always quite long.
5208 5211
5209 5212 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5210 5213 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5211 5214 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5212 5215 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5213 5216
5214 5217 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5215 5218 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5216 5219 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5217 5220 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5218 5221
5219 5222 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5220 5223
5221 5224 * Released 0.1.19
5222 5225
5223 5226 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5224 5227 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5225 5228
5226 5229 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5227 5230 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5228 5231 comment on 'macros').
5229 5232
5230 5233 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5231 5234
5232 5235 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5233 5236 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5234 5237 statements and takes parameters.
5235 5238
5236 5239 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5237 5240
5238 5241 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5239 5242
5240 5243 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5241 5244
5242 5245 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5243 5246 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5244 5247
5245 5248 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5246 5249 ipythonrc-* samples.
5247 5250
5248 5251 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5249 5252 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5250 5253
5251 5254 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5252 5255 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5253 5256
5254 5257 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5255 5258
5256 5259 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5257 5260 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5258 5261 convention.
5259 5262
5260 5263 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5261 5264 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5262 5265
5263 5266 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5264 5267
5265 5268 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5266 5269 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5267 5270
5268 5271 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5269 5272 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5270 5273 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5271 5274 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5272 5275 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5273 5276 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5274 5277 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5275 5278 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5276 5279 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5277 5280 works.
5278 5281
5279 5282 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5280 5283
5281 5284 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5282 5285 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5283 5286 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5284 5287 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5285 5288 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5286 5289 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5287 5290 all the editors, less does that.
5288 5291
5289 5292 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5290 5293
5291 5294 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5292 5295 crash IPython.
5293 5296
5294 5297 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5295 5298
5296 5299 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5297 5300
5298 5301 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5299 5302 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5300 5303 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5301 5304 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5302 5305 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5303 5306 work in _ofind.
5304 5307
5305 5308 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5306 5309 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5307 5310 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5308 5311 (famous last words).
5309 5312
5310 5313 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5311 5314 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5312 5315 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5313 5316 windows).
5314 5317
5315 5318 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5316 5319 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5317 5320
5318 5321 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5319 5322 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5320 5323 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5321 5324 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5322 5325
5323 5326 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5324 5327 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5325 5328 licences and announce it.
5326 5329
5327 5330 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5328 5331 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5329 5332 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5330 5333 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5331 5334
5332 5335 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5333 5336
5334 5337 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5335 5338 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5336 5339 lists.
5337 5340
5338 5341 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5339 5342 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5340 5343 are ok.
5341 5344
5342 5345 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5343 5346 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5344 5347
5345 5348 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5346 5349 this to Nathan.
5347 5350
5348 5351 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5349 5352
5350 5353 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5351 5354 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5352 5355 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5353 5356
5354 5357 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5355 5358 accepted). Cleaner.
5356 5359
5357 5360 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5358 5361 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5359 5362 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5360 5363 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5361 5364 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5362 5365
5363 5366 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5364 5367
5365 5368 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5366 5369 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5367 5370 history after a log replay.
5368 5371
5369 5372 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5370 5373 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5371 5374 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5372 5375 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5373 5376 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5374 5377 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5375 5378
5376 5379 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5377 5380 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5378 5381 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5379 5382 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5380 5383 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5381 5384
5382 5385 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5383 5386
5384 5387 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5385 5388 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5386 5389 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5387 5390 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5388 5391 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5389 5392 one: cache_size.
5390 5393
5391 5394 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5392 5395 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5393 5396 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5394 5397 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5395 5398
5396 5399 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5397 5400 @ or not).
5398 5401
5399 5402 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5400 5403 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5401 5404 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5402 5405 about licensing).
5403 5406
5404 5407 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5405 5408
5406 5409 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5407 5410 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5408 5411
5409 5412 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5410 5413 screen size for page() operations.
5411 5414
5412 5415 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5413 5416 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
5414 5417 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
5415 5418 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
5416 5419
5417 5420 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
5418 5421 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
5419 5422 option name tables are clearer.
5420 5423
5421 5424 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
5422 5425 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
5423 5426 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
5424 5427 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
5425 5428 was also changed a little to align better.
5426 5429
5427 5430 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
5428 5431 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
5429 5432
5430 5433 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
5431 5434 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
5432 5435 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
5433 5436
5434 5437 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
5435 5438 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
5436 5439 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
5437 5440 he needs it.
5438 5441
5439 5442 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
5440 5443
5441 5444 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
5442 5445 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
5443 5446 warning on it.
5444 5447
5445 5448 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
5446 5449 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
5447 5450 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
5448 5451 was too long).
5449 5452
5450 5453 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
5451 5454 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
5452 5455 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
5453 5456
5454 5457 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
5455 5458 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
5456 5459 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
5457 5460 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
5458 5461 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
5459 5462 function for the same task.
5460 5463
5461 5464 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5462 5465
5463 5466 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
5464 5467
5465 5468 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
5466 5469 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
5467 5470 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
5468 5471
5469 5472 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
5470 5473 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
5471 5474 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
5472 5475
5473 5476 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
5474 5477 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
5475 5478 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
5476 5479
5477 5480 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5478 5481
5479 5482 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
5480 5483
5481 5484 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
5482 5485 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
5483 5486 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
5484 5487
5485 5488 * Made prompt separators configurable.
5486 5489
5487 5490 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5488 5491
5489 5492 * Small bugfixes in many places.
5490 5493
5491 5494 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
5492 5495 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
5493 5496 maintain.
5494 5497
5495 5498 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
5496 5499 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
5497 5500 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
5498 5501 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
5499 5502 compiled and startup is much faster.
5500 5503
5501 5504 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
5502 5505 while without messing too much more with the code.
5503 5506
5504 5507 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5505 5508
5506 5509 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
5507 5510
5508 5511 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
5509 5512 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
5510 5513 *a lot* easier in some cases.
5511 5514
5512 5515 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
5513 5516 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
5514 5517
5515 5518 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
5516 5519 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
5517 5520 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
5518 5521 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
5519 5522 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
5520 5523 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
5521 5524
5522 5525 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
5523 5526 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
5524 5527
5525 5528 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
5526 5529 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
5527 5530
5528 5531 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
5529 5532 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
5530 5533 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
5531 5534 excessive.
5532 5535
5533 5536 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
5534 5537 types (only first word was displayed).
5535 5538
5536 5539 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5537 5540
5538 5541 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
5539 5542
5540 5543 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
5541 5544 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
5542 5545 travel along many directories.
5543 5546
5544 5547 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
5545 5548 arguments with default values.
5546 5549
5547 5550 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5548 5551
5549 5552 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
5550 5553 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
5551 5554
5552 5555 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
5553 5556
5554 5557 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
5555 5558 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
5556 5559 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
5557 5560
5558 5561 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5559 5562
5560 5563 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
5561 5564 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
5562 5565 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
5563 5566 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
5564 5567 from the outside and implement extensions for special
5565 5568 purposes.
5566 5569
5567 5570 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
5568 5571 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
5569 5572 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
5570 5573 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
5571 5574 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
5572 5575 one can simply say
5573 5576 a = 4.2 m/s**2
5574 5577 or even
5575 5578 a = 4.2 m/s^2
5576 5579
5577 5580 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
5578 5581 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
5579 5582 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
5580 5583
5581 5584 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
5582 5585 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
5583 5586 they were defined in
5584 5587
5585 5588 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
5586 5589
5587 5590 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
5588 5591 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
5589 5592 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
5590 5593 these to show the same information.
5591 5594
5592 5595 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
5593 5596
5594 5597 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
5595 5598 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
5596 5599 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
5597 5600 backtracked on the whole class!)
5598 5601
5599 5602 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
5600 5603 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
5601 5604 everything works as before).
5602 5605
5603 5606 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
5604 5607 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
5605 5608 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
5606 5609 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
5607 5610
5608 5611 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5609 5612
5610 5613 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
5611 5614
5612 5615 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
5613 5616 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
5614 5617
5615 5618 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
5616 5619 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
5617 5620 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
5618 5621 this later.
5619 5622
5620 5623 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
5621 5624
5622 5625 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
5623 5626 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
5624 5627 line option.
5625 5628
5626 5629 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
5627 5630 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
5628 5631 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
5629 5632 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
5630 5633 didn't return a result).
5631 5634
5632 5635 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
5633 5636
5634 5637 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
5635 5638
5636 5639 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
5637 5640 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
5638 5641 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
5639 5642 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
5640 5643
5641 5644 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5642 5645
5643 5646 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
5644 5647
5645 5648 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
5646 5649 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
5647 5650
5648 5651 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
5649 5652 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
5650 5653 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
5651 5654 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
5652 5655 in with the next entry:
5653 5656
5654 5657 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
5655 5658 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
5656 5659 handling.
5657 5660
5658 5661 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
5659 5662 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
5660 5663 namespace protection and documentation.
5661 5664
5662 5665 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5663 5666
5664 5667 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
5665 5668 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
5666 5669
5667 5670 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
5668 5671
5669 5672 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5670 5673
5671 5674 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
5672 5675
5673 5676 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
5674 5677 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
5675 5678 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
5676 5679 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
5677 5680 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
5678 5681
5679 5682 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
5680 5683 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
5681 5684 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
5682 5685
5683 5686 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
5684 5687
5685 5688 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
5686 5689 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
5687 5690
5688 5691 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5689 5692
5690 5693 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
5691 5694
5692 5695 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
5693 5696 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
5694 5697 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
5695 5698 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
5696 5699 ScientificPython.
5697 5700
5698 5701 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5699 5702
5700 5703 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
5701 5704 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
5702 5705 when called with no args.
5703 5706
5704 5707 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
5705 5708 closely.
5706 5709
5707 5710 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
5708 5711 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
5709 5712 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
5710 5713 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
5711 5714 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
5712 5715
5713 5716 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5714 5717
5715 5718 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
5716 5719 customizations there and access them via import.
5717 5720
5718 5721 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5719 5722
5720 5723 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
5721 5724
5722 5725 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
5723 5726 Nathan and Janko.
5724 5727
5725 5728 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
5726 5729
5727 5730 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
5728 5731 too long.
5729 5732
5730 5733 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
5731 5734
5732 5735 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
5733 5736 ?sin and sin?
5734 5737 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
5735 5738 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
5736 5739 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
5737 5740 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
5738 5741
5739 5742 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5740 5743
5741 5744 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
5742 5745
5743 5746 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
5744 5747 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
5745 5748
5746 5749 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
5747 5750 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
5748 5751 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
5749 5752 me).
5750 5753
5751 5754 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
5752 5755 protected (reasonably).
5753 5756
5754 5757 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
5755 5758 note through it (it was too long).
5756 5759
5757 5760 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
5758 5761 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
5759 5762 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
5760 5763 parameters.
5761 5764
5762 5765
5763 5766 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5764 5767
5765 5768 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
5766 5769 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
5767 5770 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
5768 5771
5769 5772 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
5770 5773 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
5771 5774 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
5772 5775
5773 5776 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
5774 5777
5775 5778 Changes to InteractiveShell:
5776 5779
5777 5780 - Made the usage message a parameter.
5778 5781
5779 5782 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
5780 5783 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
5781 5784 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
5782 5785 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
5783 5786 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
5784 5787 break.
5785 5788
5786 5789 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
5787 5790 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
5788 5791 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
5789 5792 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
5790 5793 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
5791 5794 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
5792 5795
5793 5796 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
5794 5797 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
5795 5798 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
5796 5799 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
5797 5800 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
5798 5801 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
5799 5802 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
5800 5803 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
5801 5804 trick.
5802 5805
5803 5806 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
5804 5807 session restoring.
5805 5808
5806 5809 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
5807 5810 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
5808 5811 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
5809 5812 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
5810 5813 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
5811 5814
5812 5815 * Started ChangeLog.
