1 2007-07-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2
3 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_colors): fix win32-related error message
4 that could appear under *nix when readline was missing. Patch by
5 Scott Jackson, closes #175.
6
1 7 2007-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2 8
3 9 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_traits_completer.py: Add a new custom
4 10 completer that it traits-aware, so that traits objects don't show
5 11 all of their internal attributes all the time.
6 12
7 13 * IPython/genutils.py (dir2): moved this code from inside
8 14 completer.py to expose it publicly, so I could use it in the
9 15 wildcards bugfix.
10 16
11 17 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix a bug reported by
12 18 Stefan with Traits.
13 19
14 20 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): change internal
15 21 var name from 'object' to 'obj', since 'object' is now a builtin
16 22 and this can lead to weird bugs if reusing this code elsewhere.
17 23
18 24 2007-07-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
19 25
20 26 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix small glitches in
21 27 'foo?' and update the code to prevent printing of default
22 28 docstrings that started appearing after I added support for
23 29 new-style classes. The approach I'm using isn't ideal (I just
24 30 special-case those strings) but I'm not sure how to more robustly
25 31 differentiate between truly user-written strings and Python's
26 32 automatic ones.
27 33
28 34 2007-07-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
29 35
30 36 * completer.py: Applied Matthew Neeley's patch:
31 37 Dynamic attributes from trait_names and _getAttributeNames are added
32 38 to the list of tab completions, but when this happens, the attribute
33 39 list is turned into a set, so the attributes are unordered when
34 40 printed, which makes it hard to find the right completion. This patch
35 41 turns this set back into a list and sort it.
36 42
37 43 2007-07-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
38 44
39 45 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add support for new-style
40 46 classes in various inspector functions.
41 47
42 48 2007-06-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
43 49
44 50 * shadowns.py, iplib.py, ipapi.py, OInspect.py:
45 51 Implement "shadow" namespace, and callable aliases that reside there.
46 52 Use them by:
47 53
48 54 _ip.defalias('foo',myfunc) # creates _sh.foo that points to myfunc
49 55
50 56 foo hello world
51 57 (gets translated to:)
52 58 _sh.foo(r"""hello world""")
53 59
54 60 In practice, this kind of alias can take the role of a magic function
55 61
56 62 * New generic inspect_object, called on obj? and obj??
57 63
58 64 2007-06-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
59 65
60 66 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): fix a problem with
61 67 inspect.getfile that can cause crashes during traceback construction.
62 68
63 69 2007-06-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
64 70
65 71 * iplib.py (handle_auto): Try to use ascii for printing "--->"
66 72 autocall rewrite indication, becausesometimes unicode fails to print
67 73 properly (and you get ' - - - '). Use plain uncoloured ---> for
68 74 unicode.
69 75
70 76 * shadow history. Usable through "%hist -g <pat>" and "%rep 0123".
71 77
72 78 . pickleshare 'hash' commands (hget, hset, hcompress,
73 79 hdict) for efficient shadow history storage.
74 80
75 81 2007-06-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
76 82
77 83 * ipapi.py: _ip.to_user_ns(vars, interactive = True).
78 84 Added kw arg 'interactive', tell whether vars should be visible
79 85 with %whos.
80 86
81 87 2007-06-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
82 88
83 89 * pspersistence.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: directory history now saved
84 90 to db
85 91
86 92 * iplib.py: "ipython -c <cmd>" now passes the command through prefilter.
87 93 Also, it exits IPython immediately after evaluating the command (just like
88 94 std python)
89 95
90 96 2007-06-05 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
91 97
92 98 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a new table icap, which executes a
93 99 Python string and captures the output. (Idea and original patch by
94 100 StοΏ½fan van der Walt)
95 101
96 102 2007-06-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
97 103
98 104 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): update printing of
99 105 exception types for Python 2.5 (now all exceptions in the stdlib
100 106 are new-style classes).
101 107
102 108 2007-05-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
103 109
104 110 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add new commands refresh and
105 111 refresh_timer (mapped to "R"/"F5" and to the menu) which restarts
106 112 the iterator once (refresh) or after every x seconds (refresh_timer).
107 113 Add a working implementation of "searchexpression", where the text
108 114 entered is not the text to search for, but an expression that must
109 115 be true. Added display of shortcuts to the menu. Added commands "pickinput"
110 116 and "pickinputattr" that put the object or attribute under the cursor
111 117 in the input line. Split the statusbar to be able to display the currently
112 118 active refresh interval. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
113 119
114 120 2007-05-29 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
115 121
116 122 * fixing set_term_title to use ctypes as default
117 123
118 124 * fixing set_term_title fallback to work when curent dir
119 125 is on a windows network share
120 126
121 127 2007-05-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
122 128
123 129 * %cpaste: strip + with > from left (diffs).
124 130
125 131 * iplib.py: Fix crash when readline not installed
126 132
127 133 2007-05-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
128 134
129 135 * generics.py: intruduce easy to extend result_display generic
130 136 function (using simplegeneric.py).
131 137
132 138 * Fixed the append functionality of %set.
133 139
134 140 2007-05-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
135 141
136 142 * New magic: %rep (fetch / run old commands from history)
137 143
138 144 * New extension: mglob (%mglob magic), for powerful glob / find /filter
139 145 like functionality
140 146
141 147 % maghistory.py: %hist -g PATTERM greps the history for pattern
142 148
143 149 2007-05-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
144 150
145 151 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a Table ihist that can be used to
146 152 browse the IPython input history
147 153
148 154 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Added two command to ibrowse: pickinput
149 155 (mapped to "i") can be used to put the object under the curser in the input
150 156 line. pickinputattr (mapped to "I") does the same for the attribute under
151 157 the cursor.
152 158
153 159 2007-05-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
154 160
155 161 * Grand magic cleansing (changeset [2380]):
156 162
157 163 * Introduce ipy_legacy.py where the following magics were
158 164 moved:
159 165
160 166 pdef pdoc psource pfile rehash dhist Quit p r automagic autocall
161 167
162 168 If you need them, either use default profile or "import ipy_legacy"
163 169 in your ipy_user_conf.py
164 170
165 171 * Move sh and scipy profile to Extensions from UserConfig. this implies
166 172 you should not edit them, but you don't need to run %upgrade when
167 173 upgrading IPython anymore.
168 174
169 175 * %hist/%history now operates in "raw" mode by default. To get the old
170 176 behaviour, run '%hist -n' (native mode).
171 177
172 178 * split ipy_stock_completers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py and
173 179 ipy_app_completers.py. Stock completers (%cd, import, %run) are now
174 180 installed as default.
175 181
176 182 * sh profile now installs ipy_signals.py, for (hopefully) better ctrl+c
177 183 handling.
178 184
179 185 * iplib.py, ipapi.py: _ip.set_next_input(s) sets the next ("default")
180 186 input if readline is available.
181 187
182 188 2007-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
183 189
184 190 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
185 191
186 192 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
187 193 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
188 194 no python installation required).
189 195
190 196 * Removed ipythonrc-scipy, ipy_profile_scipy.py takes
191 197 its place.
192 198
193 199 * rlineimpl.py, genutils.py (get_home_dir): py2exe support
194 200
195 201 2007-05-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
196 202
197 203 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
198 204 failure of 'title' system call properly.
199 205
200 206 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
201 207
202 208 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
203 209 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
204 210
205 211 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
206 212
207 213 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
208 214 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
209 215 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
210 216
211 217 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
212 218
213 219 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
214 220 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
215 221
216 222 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
217 223
218 224 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
219 225 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
220 226
221 227 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
222 228 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
223 229
224 230 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
225 231 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
226 232 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
227 233
228 234 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
229 235
230 236 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
231 237 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
232 238 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
233 239 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
234 240
235 241 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
236 242 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
237 243
238 244 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
239 245
240 246 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
241 247 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
242 248 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
243 249 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
244 250
245 251 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
246 252
247 253 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
248 254
249 255 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
250 256 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
251 257
252 258 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
253 259
254 260 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
255 261
256 262 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
257 263
258 264 * iplib.py: (pre_config_initialization) Catch UnicodeDecodeError if the
259 265 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
260 266
261 267 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
262 268
263 269 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
264 270
265 271 * Update version number
266 272
267 273 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
268 274
269 275 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
270 276
271 277 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
272 278 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
273 279 bug discovered by Ville).
274 280
275 281 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
276 282
277 283 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
278 284 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
279 285
280 286 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
281 287
282 288
283 289 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
284 290
285 291 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
286 292 Closes #149.
287 293
288 294 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
289 295 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
290 296 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
291 297
292 298 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
293 299
294 300 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
295 301 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
296 302 allows wildcards.
297 303
298 304 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
299 305 as opposed to returning nothing.
300 306
301 307 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
302 308 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
303 309
304 310 2007-04-22 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
305 311
306 312 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
307 313 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
308 314
309 315 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
310 316
311 317 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
312 318 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
313 319
314 320 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
315 321
316 322 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
317 323 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
318 324 IPython instance.
319 325
320 326 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
321 327
322 328 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
323 329 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
324 330 'Iptl' template notation,
325 331
326 332 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
327 333 safer & faster 'import' completer.
328 334
329 335 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
330 336 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
331 337
332 338 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
333 339 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
334 340 defmacro() etc.)
335 341
336 342 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
337 343
338 344 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
339 345
340 346 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
341 347
342 348 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
343 349
344 350 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
345 351 and later on win32.
346 352
347 353 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
348 354
349 355 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
350 356
351 357 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
352 358
353 359 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
354 360 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
355 361
356 362 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
357 363
358 364 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
359 365
360 366 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
361 367
362 368 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
363 369
364 370 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
365 371
366 372 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
367 373 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
368 374 every %run call.
369 375
370 376 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
371 377 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
372 378 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
373 379
374 380 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
375 381
376 382 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
377 383 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
378 384 Stefan for the fix.
379 385
380 386 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
381 387 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
382 388 him.
383 389
384 390 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
385 391 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
386 392 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
387 393 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
388 394
389 395 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
390 396 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
391 397 each runcode access.
392 398
393 399 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
394 400 message.
395 401
396 402 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
397 403
398 404 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
399 405 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
400 406 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
401 407
402 408 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
403 409 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
404 410 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
405 411 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
406 412 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
407 413 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
408 414 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
409 415 anything up until we know if it actually works.
410 416
411 417 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
412 418 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
413 419 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
414 420 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
415 421 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).

417 423 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
418 424
419 425 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
420 426 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
421 427 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
422 428
423 429 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
424 430
425 431 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
426 432 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
427 433 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
428 434
429 435 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
430 436
431 437 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
432 438 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
433 439 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
434 440 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
435 441 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
436 442
437 443 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
438 444
439 445 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
440 446 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
441 447
442 448 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
443 449 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
444 450 details in comments left in the code.
445 451
446 452 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
447 453 similar to what we had for Numeric.
448 454
449 455 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
450 456 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
451 457 than readline. Closes #109.
452 458
453 459 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
454 460 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
455 461
456 462 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
457 463
458 464 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
459 465 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
460 466 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
461 467 ongoing Unicode support work.
462 468
463 469 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
464 470 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
465 471 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
466 472 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
467 473
468 474 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
469 475
470 476 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
471 477 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
472 478
473 479 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
474 480
475 481 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
476 482 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
477 483 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
478 484
479 485 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
480 486
481 487 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
482 488 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
483 489 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
484 490 long definition lines for functions.
485 491
486 492 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
487 493
488 494 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
489 495 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
490 496 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
491 497 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
492 498
493 499 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
494 500
495 501 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
496 502
497 503 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
498 504
499 505 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
500 506 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
501 507 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
502 508
503 509 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
504 510 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
505 511
506 512 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
507 513 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
508 514
509 515 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
510 516
511 517 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
512 518 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
513 519 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
514 520
515 521 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
516 522
517 523 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
518 524 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
519 525
520 526 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
521 527 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
522 528 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
523 529 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
524 530 sometimes return "" as last element.
525 531
526 532 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
527 533
528 534 * IPython/completer.py
529 535 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
530 536 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
531 537 would be completed too early.
532 538
533 539 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
534 540 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
535 541 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
536 542 backwards compatibility.
537 543
538 544 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
539 545 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
540 546 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
541 547 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
542 548 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
543 549 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
544 550 also works when debugging.
545 551
546 552 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
547 553 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
548 554
549 555 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
550 556 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
551 557 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
552 558
553 559 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
554 560 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
555 561 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
556 562
557 563 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
558 564 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
559 565
560 566 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
561 567
562 568 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
563 569 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
564 570 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
565 571
566 572 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
567 573
568 574 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
569 575 to be installed alongside igrid.
570 576 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
571 577 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
572 578 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
573 579
574 580 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
575 581
576 582 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
577 583 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
578 584 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
579 585
580 586 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
581 587
582 588 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
583 589 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
584 590
585 591 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
586 592 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
587 593
588 594 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
589 595
590 596 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
591 597 as the default browser.
592 598 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
593 599 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
594 600 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
595 601 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
596 602
597 603 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
598 604
599 605 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
600 606 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
601 607 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
602 608
603 609 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
604 610
605 611 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
606 612 Close help window if exiting igrid.
607 613
608 614 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
609 615
610 616 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
611 617 before calling functions from readline.
612 618
613 619 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
614 620
615 621 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
616 622 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
617 623 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
618 624 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
619 625 falls back to idump.
620 626
621 627 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
622 628
623 629 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
624 630 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
625 631 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
626 632 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
627 633
628 634 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
629 635
630 636 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
631 637 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
632 638 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
633 639 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
634 640 %magic with explicit % prefix.
635 641
636 642 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
637 643
638 644 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
639 645 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
640 646
641 647 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
642 648
643 649 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
644 650 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
645 651 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
646 652 one wants those instead.
647 653
648 654 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
649 655 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
650 656 instead.
651 657
652 658 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
653 659
654 660 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
655 661 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
656 662 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
657 663 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
658 664
659 665 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
660 666
661 667 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
662 668 stop marks.
663 669 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
664 670 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
665 671 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
666 672
667 673 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
668 674
669 675 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
670 676 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
671 677 sumbmitted to upstream.
672 678
673 679 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
674 680
675 681 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
676 682 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
677 683 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
678 684 running into an empty levels list later.
679 685
680 686 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
681 687
682 688 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
683 689 for the noitem object.
684 690
685 691 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
686 692
687 693 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
688 694 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
689 695 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
690 696 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
691 697
692 698 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
693 699
694 700 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
695 701 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
696 702 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
697 703 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
698 704 filenames.
699 705
700 706 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
701 707 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
702 708 out-of-process ipython code.
703 709
704 710 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
705 711 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
706 712 doctesting.
707 713
708 714 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
709 715
710 716 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
711 717
712 718 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
713 719 not being correctly recognized.
714 720
715 721 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
716 722
717 723 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
718 724 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
719 725 only item.
720 726
721 727 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
722 728 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
723 729 infinite recursion for one line strings).
724 730
725 731 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
726 732
727 733 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
728 734 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
729 735 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
730 736
731 737 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
732 738
733 739 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
734 740 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
735 741 "%env VISUAL=jed".
736 742
737 743 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
738 744
739 745 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
740 746 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
741 747 but I'm not exactly sure why).
742 748
743 749 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
744 750 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
745 751
746 752 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
747 753
748 754 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
749 755 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
750 756
751 757 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
752 758 the time during IPython startup is spent.
753 759
754 760 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
755 761
756 762 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
757 763
758 764 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
759 765
760 766 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
761 767
762 768 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
763 769
764 770 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
765 771 to work properly on posix too
766 772
767 773 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
768 774
769 775 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
770 776
771 777 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
772 778 prefix + "/scripts".
773 779
774 780 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
775 781
776 782 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
777 783
778 784 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
779 785 if they already exist
780 786
781 787 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
782 788
783 789 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
784 790
785 791 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
786 792
787 793 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
788 794
789 795 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
790 796 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
791 797 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
792 798
793 799 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
794 800
795 801 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
796 802 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
797 803 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
798 804
799 805 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
800 806 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
801 807 in ipy_user_conf.py
802 808
803 809
804 810 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
805 811 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
806 812 as IPython script.
807 813
808 814 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
809 815
810 816 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
811 817
812 818 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
813 819 is called before any exception has occurred.
814 820
815 821 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
816 822
817 823 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
818 824 to translate /'s to \'s again.
819 825
820 826 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
821 827 backslash.
822 828
823 829 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
824 830
825 831 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
826 832
827 833 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
828 834 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
829 835 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
830 836
831 837 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
832 838 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
833 839
834 840 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
835 841 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
836 842
837 843 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
838 844
839 845 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
840 846
841 847 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
842 848 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
843 849
844 850 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
845 851 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
846 852 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
847 853 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
848 854 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
849 855 mapped to "%" now.
850 856 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
851 857
852 858 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
853 859
854 860 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
855 861 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
856 862 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
857 863 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
858 864
859 865 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
860 866
861 867 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
862 868 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
863 869 for shell escapes.
864 870
865 871 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
866 872
867 873 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
868 874 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
869 875 vcs_completer.
870 876
871 877 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
872 878
873 879 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
874 880 directly instead!
875 881
876 882 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
877 883
878 884 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
879 885 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
880 886
881 887 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
882 888 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
883 889 explicit.
884 890
885 891 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
886 892 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
887 893
888 894 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
889 895
890 896 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
891 897
892 898 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
893 899 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
894 900 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
895 901 implementation for Text is useless.
896 902
897 903 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
898 904
899 905 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
900 906
901 907 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
902 908
903 909 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
904 910 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
905 911 "profile"
906 912
907 913 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
908 914
909 915 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
910 916 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
911 917
912 918 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
913 919 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
914 920
915 921
916 922 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
917 923 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
918 924 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
919 925
920 926 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
921 927
922 928 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
923 929 with one from UserConfig.
924 930
925 931 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
926 932 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
927 933
928 934 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
929 935 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
930 936 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
931 937
932 938 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
933 939
934 940 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
935 941
936 942 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
937 943
938 944 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
939 945
940 946 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
941 947
942 948 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
943 949
944 950 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
945 951
946 952 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
947 953
948 954 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
949 955 by eval of expr with dots.
950 956
951 957 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
952 958
953 959 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
954 960 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
955 961 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
956 962 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
957 963 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
958 964 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
959 965
960 966 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
961 967
962 968 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
963 969 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
964 970 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
965 971
966 972 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
967 973 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
968 974 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
969 975 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
970 976 funtionality in ipconfig.
971 977
972 978 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
973 979 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
974 980 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
975 981 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
976 982
977 983 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
978 984
979 985 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
980 986 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
981 987 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
982 988 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
983 989 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
984 990 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
985 991 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
986 992 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
987 993 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
988 994 descriptors.
989 995
990 996 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
991 997 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
992 998
993 999 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
994 1000 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
995 1001
996 1002 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
997 1003
998 1004 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
999 1005
1000 1006 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1001 1007
1002 1008 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
1003 1009 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
1004 1010 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
1005 1011
1006 1012 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
1007 1013 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
1008 1014 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
1009 1015
1010 1016 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1011 1017 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
1012 1018 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
1013 1019 ipy_stock_completers.
1014 1020
1015 1021 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1016 1022
1017 1023 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
1018 1024
1019 1025 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
1020 1026 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
1021 1027 when filtering possible completions.
1022 1028
1023 1029 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
1024 1030
1025 1031 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
1026 1032 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
1027 1033 function
1028 1034
1029 1035
1030 1036 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1031 1037
1032 1038 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
1033 1039 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
1034 1040 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
1035 1041 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
1036 1042 SVN completer.
1037 1043
1038 1044 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
1039 1045 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
1040 1046 name is %led.
1041 1047
1042 1048 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1043 1049
1044 1050 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
1045 1051 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
1046 1052 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
1047 1053
1048 1054 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
1049 1055 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
1050 1056 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
1051 1057 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
1052 1058 hook name is 'complete_command'.
1053 1059
1054 1060 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1055 1061
1056 1062 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
1057 1063 Numeric leftovers.
1058 1064
1059 1065 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
1060 1066 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
1061 1067
1062 1068 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
1063 1069 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
1064 1070
1065 1071 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
1066 1072 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
1067 1073
1068 1074 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
1069 1075 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
1070 1076 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
1071 1077
1072 1078 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1073 1079
1074 1080 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
1075 1081 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
1076 1082 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
1077 1083
1078 1084 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
1079 1085 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
1080 1086
1081 1087 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1082 1088
1083 1089 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
1084 1090 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
1085 1091 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
1086 1092
1087 1093 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1088 1094
1089 1095 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
1090 1096 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
1091 1097 internal crash handler.
1092 1098
1093 1099 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
1094 1100 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
1095 1101 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
1096 1102 at the request of SAGE.
1097 1103
1098 1104 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1099 1105
1100 1106 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
1101 1107 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
1102 1108
1103 1109 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
1104 1110 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
1105 1111 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
1106 1112 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
1107 1113
1108 1114 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
1109 1115 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
1110 1116 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
1111 1117
1112 1118 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1113 1119
1114 1120 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
1115 1121 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
1116 1122 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
1117 1123
1118 1124 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
1119 1125 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
1120 1126
1121 1127 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1122 1128
1123 1129 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
1124 1130 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
1125 1131 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
1126 1132 Stefan.
1127 1133
1128 1134 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1129 1135
1130 1136 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
1131 1137 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
1132 1138 sys.stdout.close().
1133 1139
1134 1140 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1135 1141
1136 1142 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
1137 1143 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
1138 1144 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
1139 1145 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
1140 1146
1141 1147 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
1142 1148 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
1143 1149 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
1144 1150
1145 1151 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
1146 1152 2.5.
1147 1153
1148 1154 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
1149 1155 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
1150 1156 interactively.
1151 1157
1152 1158 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1153 1159
1154 1160 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
1155 1161 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
1156 1162
1157 1163 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1158 1164
1159 1165 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
1160 1166 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
1161 1167 or only files.
1162 1168
1163 1169 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1164 1170
1165 1171 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
1166 1172 they broke unittest
1167 1173
1168 1174 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1169 1175
1170 1176 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
1171 1177 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
1172 1178 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
1173 1179 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
1174 1180
1175 1181 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1176 1182
1177 1183 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
1178 1184 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
1179 1185 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
1180 1186 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
1181 1187 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
1182 1188
1183 1189 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1184 1190
1185 1191 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
1186 1192 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
1187 1193
1188 1194 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1189 1195
1190 1196 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1191 1197 the mode argument).
1192 1198
1193 1199 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1194 1200
1195 1201 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1196 1202 not running under IPython.
1197 1203
1198 1204 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1199 1205 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1200 1206 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1201 1207 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1202 1208 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1203 1209 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1204 1210 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1205 1211 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1206 1212 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1207 1213 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1208 1214 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1209 1215 are still supported.
1210 1216
1211 1217 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1212 1218 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1213 1219 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1214 1220 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1215 1221
1216 1222 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1217 1223 encoding into methods.
1218 1224
1219 1225 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1220 1226
1221 1227 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1222 1228 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1223 1229
1224 1230 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1225 1231
1226 1232 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1227 1233 non existing attributes.
1228 1234
1229 1235 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1230 1236
1231 1237 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1232 1238 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1233 1239
1234 1240 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1235 1241
1236 1242 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1237 1243 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1238 1244
1239 1245 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1240 1246
1241 1247 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1242 1248 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1243 1249 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1244 1250
1245 1251 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1246 1252
1247 1253 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1248 1254 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1249 1255 Stefan van der Walt.
1250 1256
1251 1257 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1252 1258
1253 1259 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1254 1260 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1255 1261
1256 1262 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1257 1263
1258 1264 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1259 1265 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1260 1266 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1261 1267
1262 1268 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1263 1269
1264 1270 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1265 1271 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1266 1272 attributes.
1267 1273
1268 1274 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1269 1275
1270 1276 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1271 1277 commands into the methods implementing them.
1272 1278
1273 1279 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1274 1280
1275 1281 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1276 1282 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1277 1283 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1278 1284
1279 1285 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1280 1286
1281 1287 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1282 1288 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1283 1289
1284 1290 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1285 1291
1286 1292 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1287 1293 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1288 1294
1289 1295 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1290 1296
1291 1297 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1292 1298 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1293 1299 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1294 1300 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1295 1301 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1296 1302 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1297 1303 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1298 1304 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1299 1305 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1300 1306 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1301 1307 the x key to "delete".
1302 1308
1303 1309 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1304 1310
1305 1311 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1306 1312 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1307 1313 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1308 1314 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1309 1315
1310 1316 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1311 1317 prompt
1312 1318
1313 1319 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1314 1320
1315 1321 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1316 1322
1317 1323 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1318 1324 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1319 1325 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1320 1326 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1321 1327
1322 1328 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1323 1329
1324 1330 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1325 1331 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1326 1332 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1327 1333 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1328 1334 doesn't work properly yet.
1329 1335
1330 1336 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1331 1337
1332 1338 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1333 1339 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1334 1340 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1335 1341
1336 1342 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1337 1343
1338 1344 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1339 1345 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1340 1346 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1341 1347 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1342 1348 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1343 1349 execute commands.
1344 1350
1345 1351 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1346 1352
1347 1353 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1348 1354 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1349 1355
1350 1356 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1351 1357
1352 1358 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1353 1359 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1354 1360
1355 1361 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1356 1362
1357 1363 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1358 1364 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1359 1365 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1360 1366
1361 1367 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1362 1368
1363 1369 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1364 1370
1365 1371 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1366 1372 Repo tagged and release cut.
1367 1373
1368 1374 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1369 1375
1370 1376 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1371 1377 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1372 1378
1373 1379 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1374 1380 (for %upgrade)
1375 1381
1376 1382 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1377 1383
1378 1384 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1379 1385 instead of looping 20 times.
1380 1386
1381 1387 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1382 1388 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1383 1389 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1384 1390
1385 1391 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1386 1392 testing for release on 06/06.
1387 1393
1388 1394 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1389 1395
1390 1396 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1391 1397 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1392 1398 live in people's PATH.
1393 1399
1394 1400 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1395 1401 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1396 1402 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1397 1403 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1398 1404 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1399 1405
1400 1406 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1401 1407 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1402 1408
1403 1409 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1404 1410
1405 1411 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1406 1412 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1407 1413
1408 1414 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1409 1415
1410 1416 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1411 1417 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1412 1418 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1413 1419
1414 1420 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1415 1421
1416 1422 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1417 1423 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1418 1424 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1419 1425 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1420 1426
1421 1427 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1422 1428 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1423 1429 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1424 1430 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1425 1431
1426 1432 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1427 1433 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1428 1434 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1429 1435 work.
1430 1436
1431 1437 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1432 1438
1433 1439 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1434 1440 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1435 1441
1436 1442 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1437 1443 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1438 1444 author William Stein.
1439 1445
1440 1446 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1441 1447 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1442 1448 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1443 1449 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1444 1450 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1445 1451 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1446 1452 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1447 1453 objects more easily.
1448 1454
1449 1455 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1450 1456
1451 1457 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1452 1458 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1453 1459 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1454 1460 by Jeffrey Collins.
1455 1461
1456 1462 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1457 1463 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1458 1464 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1459 1465 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1460 1466
1461 1467 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1462 1468 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1463 1469 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1464 1470 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1465 1471
1466 1472 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1467 1473 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1468 1474 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1469 1475 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1470 1476 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1471 1477 compatibility)
1472 1478
1473 1479 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1474 1480 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1475 1481 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1476 1482
1477 1483 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1478 1484 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1479 1485 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1480 1486 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1481 1487 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1482 1488
1483 1489 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1484 1490 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1485 1491 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1486 1492
1487 1493 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1488 1494 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1489 1495 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1490 1496 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1491 1497 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1492 1498 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1493 1499 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1494 1500
1495 1501 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1496 1502 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1497 1503 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1498 1504
1499 1505 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1500 1506 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1501 1507 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1502 1508
1503 1509 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1504 1510 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1505 1511
1506 1512 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1507 1513
1508 1514 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1509 1515 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1510 1516 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1511 1517 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1512 1518 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1513 1519 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1514 1520 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1515 1521 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1516 1522 while running under SAGE.
1517 1523
1518 1524 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1519 1525
1520 1526 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1521 1527 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1522 1528 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1523 1529 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1524 1530
1525 1531 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1526 1532
1527 1533 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1528 1534 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1529 1535 updated.
1530 1536
1531 1537 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1532 1538 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1533 1539 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1534 1540 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1535 1541 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1536 1542
1537 1543 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1538 1544 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1539 1545 so more testing is needed...
1540 1546
1541 1547 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1542 1548
1543 1549 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1544 1550 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1545 1551 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1546 1552 when doing complex debugging.
1547 1553 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1548 1554 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1549 1555 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1550 1556 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1551 1557
1552 1558 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1553 1559
1554 1560 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1555 1561 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1556 1562 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1557 1563 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1558 1564
1559 1565 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1560 1566
1561 1567 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1562 1568 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1563 1569
1564 1570 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1565 1571
1566 1572 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1567 1573 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1568 1574 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1569 1575 been the one to acquire it.
1570 1576
1571 1577 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1572 1578
1573 1579 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1574 1580
1575 1581 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1576 1582
1577 1583 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1578 1584 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1579 1585 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1580 1586
1581 1587 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1582 1588 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1583 1589 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1584 1590 properly flush the output cache.
1585 1591
1586 1592 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1587 1593 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1588 1594
1589 1595 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1590 1596
1591 1597 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1592 1598 are quoted
1593 1599
1594 1600 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1595 1601
1596 1602 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1597 1603 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1598 1604
1599 1605 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1600 1606 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1601 1607
1602 1608 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1603 1609
1604 1610 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1605 1611 %upgrade magic
1606 1612
1607 1613 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1608 1614
1609 1615 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1610 1616 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1611 1617 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1612 1618
1613 1619 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1614 1620
1615 1621 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1616 1622 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1617 1623
1618 1624 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1619 1625 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1620 1626 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1621 1627 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1622 1628 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1623 1629
1624 1630 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1625 1631
1626 1632 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1627 1633 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1628 1634
1629 1635 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1630 1636
1631 1637 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1632 1638 Torsten Marek.
1633 1639
1634 1640 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1635 1641
1636 1642 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1637 1643 line ranges works again.
1638 1644
1639 1645 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1640 1646
1641 1647 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1642 1648 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1643 1649 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1644 1650 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1645 1651 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1646 1652
1647 1653 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1648 1654 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1649 1655 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1650 1656 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1651 1657 more.
1652 1658
1653 1659 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1654 1660
1655 1661 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1656 1662 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1657 1663
1658 1664 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1659 1665
1660 1666 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1661 1667 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1662 1668
1663 1669 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1664 1670
1665 1671 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1666 1672
1667 1673 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1668 1674
1669 1675 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1670 1676
1671 1677 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1672 1678 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1673 1679 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1674 1680
1675 1681 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1676 1682
1677 1683 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1678 1684 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1679 1685 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1680 1686 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1681 1687
1682 1688 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1683 1689 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1684 1690
1685 1691 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1686 1692 contributed by marienz to close
1687 1693 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1688 1694
1689 1695 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1690 1696
1691 1697 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1692 1698
1693 1699 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1694 1700 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1695 1701 nonsense.
1696 1702
1697 1703 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1698 1704
1699 1705 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1700 1706 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1701 1707
1702 1708 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1703 1709
1704 1710 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1705 1711
1706 1712 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1707 1713 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1708 1714
1709 1715 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1710 1716
1711 1717 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1712 1718 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1713 1719 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1714 1720 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1715 1721 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1716 1722 SAGE team.
1717 1723 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1718 1724 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1719 1725
1720 1726 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1721 1727 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1722 1728 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1723 1729 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1724 1730 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1725 1731
1726 1732 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1727 1733
1728 1734 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1729 1735 correctly now (on Linux)
1730 1736
1731 1737 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1732 1738 warnings
1733 1739
1734 1740 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1735 1741
1736 1742 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1737 1743
1738 1744
1739 1745 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1740 1746
1741 1747 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1742 1748 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1743 1749 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1744 1750 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1745 1751 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1746 1752 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1747 1753 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1748 1754 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1749 1755
1750 1756 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1751 1757
1752 1758 * aliases can now be %store'd
1753 1759
1754 1760 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1755 1761 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1756 1762 at __init__.
1757 1763
1758 1764 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1759 1765 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1760 1766
1761 1767 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1762 1768
1763 1769 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1764 1770 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1765 1771 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1766 1772
1767 1773 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1768 1774
1769 1775 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1770 1776
1771 1777 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1772 1778
1773 1779 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1774 1780 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1775 1781 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1776 1782 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1777 1783
1778 1784 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1779 1785 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1780 1786
1781 1787 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1782 1788
1783 1789 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1784 1790 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1785 1791 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1786 1792 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1787 1793
1788 1794 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1789 1795 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1790 1796 usage.
1791 1797
1792 1798 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1793 1799 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1794 1800 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1795 1801
1796 1802 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1797 1803
1798 1804 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1799 1805 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1800 1806
1801 1807 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1802 1808 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1803 1809 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1804 1810
1805 1811 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1806 1812
1807 1813 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1808 1814
1809 1815 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1810 1816
1811 1817 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1812 1818 are now more helpful:
1813 1819 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1814 1820
1815 1821 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1816 1822
1817 1823 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1818 1824 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1819 1825
1820 1826 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1821 1827
1822 1828 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1823 1829 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1824 1830
1825 1831 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1826 1832 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1827 1833 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1828 1834
1829 1835 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1830 1836
1831 1837
1832 1838 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1833 1839
1834 1840 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1835 1841 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1836 1842
1837 1843 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1838 1844
1839 1845 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1840 1846 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1841 1847 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1842 1848 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1843 1849 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1844 1850 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1845 1851
1846 1852 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1847 1853
1848 1854 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1849 1855 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1850 1856 \python24\scripts).
1851 1857
1852 1858 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1853 1859 egg.
1854 1860
1855 1861 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1856 1862
1857 1863 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1858 1864
1859 1865 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1860 1866
1861 1867 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1862 1868
1863 1869 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1864 1870
1865 1871 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1866 1872 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1867 1873 \python24\scripts).
1868 1874
1869 1875 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1870 1876 egg.
1871 1877
1872 1878 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1873 1879
1874 1880 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1875 1881 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1876 1882 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1877 1883
1878 1884 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1879 1885 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1880 1886 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1881 1887 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1882 1888
1883 1889 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1884 1890 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1885 1891 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1886 1892 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1887 1893 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1888 1894 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1889 1895 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1890 1896 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1891 1897 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1892 1898 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1893 1899 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1894 1900 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.

1896 1902 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1897 1903
1898 1904 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1899 1905 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1900 1906 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1901 1907 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1902 1908
1903 1909 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1904 1910
1905 1911 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1906 1912 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1907 1913 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1908 1914 importing extensions easy.
1909 1915
1910 1916 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1911 1917 classes / instances of those classes.
1912 1918
1913 1919 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1914 1920 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1915 1921 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1916 1922 the user.
1917 1923
1918 1924 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1919 1925 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1920 1926 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1921 1927
1922 1928 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1923 1929
1924 1930 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1925 1931 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1926 1932 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1927 1933 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1928 1934 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1929 1935 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1930 1936 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1931 1937 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1932 1938 the method.
1933 1939
1934 1940 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1935 1941
1936 1942 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1937 1943 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1938 1944
1939 1945 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1940 1946
1941 1947 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1942 1948 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1943 1949 Vivian.
1944 1950
1945 1951 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1946 1952 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1947 1953 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1948 1954 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1949 1955 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1950 1956
1951 1957 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1952 1958
1953 1959 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1954 1960 that returns file contents on exit.
1955 1961
1956 1962 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1957 1963 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1958 1964 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1959 1965 sc files=ls
1960 1966 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1961 1967 print p,p.mtime
1962 1968
1963 1969 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1964 1970 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1965 1971 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1966 1972 instead of syntax error.
1967 1973
1968 1974
1969 1975 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1970 1976
1971 1977 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1972 1978 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1973 1979 data.
1974 1980
1975 1981 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1976 1982 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1977 1983 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1978 1984 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1979 1985
1980 1986 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1981 1987 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1982 1988 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1983 1989 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1984 1990 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1985 1991 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1986 1992
1987 1993 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1988 1994
1989 1995 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1990 1996 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1991 1997 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1992 1998 current dir.
1993 1999
1994 2000 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1995 2001 had to create new files.
1996 2002
1997 2003 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1998 2004 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1999 2005 future.
2000 2006
2001 2007 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
2002 2008 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
2003 2009 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
2004 2010
2005 2011
2006 2012 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2007 2013
2008 2014 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
2009 2015 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
2010 2016 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
2011 2017 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
2012 2018 later.
2013 2019
2014 2020 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
2015 2021 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
2016 2022
2017 2023 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2018 2024
2019 2025 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
2020 2026 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
2021 2027 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
2022 2028 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
2023 2029 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
2024 2030 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
2025 2031
2026 2032 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2027 2033
2028 2034 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
2029 2035 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
2030 2036 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
2031 2037 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
2032 2038 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
2033 2039 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
2034 2040 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
2035 2041 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
2036 2042 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
2037 2043 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
2038 2044
2039 2045 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
2040 2046 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
2041 2047 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
2042 2048 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
2043 2049
2044 2050 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
2045 2051 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
2046 2052 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
2047 2053 "setup.py install" between changes).
2048 2054
2049 2055 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
2050 2056 if 1:
2051 2057 !ls
2052 2058 !!ls
2053 2059
2054 2060 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2055 2061
2056 2062 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
2057 2063 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
2058 2064 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
2059 2065 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
2060 2066
2061 2067 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
2062 2068 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
2063 2069 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
2064 2070
2065 2071 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2066 2072
2067 2073 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
2068 2074 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
2069 2075 win32.
2070 2076
2071 2077 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
2072 2078
2073 2079 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2074 2080
2075 2081 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
2076 2082 ready for release.
2077 2083
2078 2084 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
2079 2085 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
2080 2086 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
2081 2087 where to copy the info from.
2082 2088
2083 2089 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2084 2090
2085 2091 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
2086 2092 support in the release tools as well.
2087 2093
2088 2094 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2089 2095
2090 2096 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
2091 2097 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
2092 2098 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
2093 2099 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
2094 2100
2095 2101 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2096 2102 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
2097 2103 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
2098 2104
2099 2105 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
2100 2106 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
2101 2107
2102 2108 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
2103 2109 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
2104 2110 printer not to work.
2105 2111
2106 2112 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2107 2113
2108 2114 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
2109 2115 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
2110 2116
2111 2117 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2112 2118
2113 2119 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
2114 2120 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
2115 2121 Moad for help with tracking it down.
2116 2122
2117 2123 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
2118 2124 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
2119 2125 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
2120 2126
2121 2127 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
2122 2128 Ville's patch.
2123 2129
2124 2130 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2125 2131
2126 2132 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
2127 2133 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
2128 2134 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
2129 2135 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
2130 2136 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
2131 2137 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
2132 2138 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
2133 2139
2134 2140 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
2135 2141 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
2136 2142 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
2137 2143
2138 2144 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2139 2145
2140 2146 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
2141 2147 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
2142 2148
2143 2149 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
2144 2150 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
2145 2151 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
2146 2152 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
2147 2153 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
2148 2154 twister).
2149 2155
2150 2156 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
2151 2157 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
2152 2158 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
2153 2159
2154 2160 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
2155 2161 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
2156 2162 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
2157 2163 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
2158 2164 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
2159 2165 something inside the dis module.
2160 2166
2161 2167 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2162 2168
2163 2169 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
2164 2170 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
2165 2171 follows the discussion in
2166 2172 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
2167 2173
2168 2174 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
2169 2175 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
2170 2176 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
2171 2177
2172 2178 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
2173 2179 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
2174 2180 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
2175 2181
2176 2182 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
2177 2183 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
2178 2184 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
2179 2185 speed up this routine.
2180 2186
2181 2187 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
2182 2188 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
2183 2189 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
2184 2190 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
2185 2191 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
2186 2192 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
2187 2193 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
2188 2194 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
2189 2195
2190 2196 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2191 2197 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2192 2198 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2193 2199
2194 2200 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2195 2201 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2196 2202 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2197 2203 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2198 2204 setters don't do anything).
2199 2205
2200 2206 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2201 2207
2202 2208 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2203 2209 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2204 2210 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2205 2211 falling out of sync...)
2206 2212
2207 2213 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2208 2214 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2209 2215 as loops).
2210 2216
2211 2217 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2212 2218 win32 system access.
2213 2219
2214 2220 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2215 2221
2216 2222 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2217 2223 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2218 2224 thread-safe.
2219 2225 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2220 2226 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2221 2227 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2222 2228 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2223 2229 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2224 2230 can still happen.
2225 2231 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2226 2232 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2227 2233 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2228 2234 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2229 2235 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2230 2236 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2231 2237 cleanly.
2232 2238
2233 2239 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2234 2240 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2235 2241 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2236 2242 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2237 2243 users' persisted data.
2238 2244
2239 2245 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2240 2246 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2241 2247 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2242 2248 multiline input (such as macros).
2243 2249
2244 2250 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2245 2251 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2246 2252 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2247 2253 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2248 2254 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2249 2255 informative).
2250 2256
2251 2257 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2252 2258 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2253 2259
2254 2260 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2255 2261 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2256 2262 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2257 2263
2258 2264 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2259 2265 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2260 2266 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2261 2267 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2262 2268 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2263 2269 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2264 2270 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2265 2271 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2266 2272 details.
2267 2273
2268 2274 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2269 2275 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2270 2276 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2271 2277 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2272 2278 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2273 2279
2274 2280 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2275 2281 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2276 2282 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2277 2283 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2278 2284 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2279 2285
2280 2286 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2281 2287 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2282 2288 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2283 2289 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2284 2290 options to %logstart. Closes
2285 2291 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2286 2292 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2287 2293
2288 2294 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2289 2295
2290 2296 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2291 2297 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2292 2298 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2293 2299 list:
2294 2300 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2295 2301
2296 2302 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2297 2303
2298 2304 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2299 2305 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2300 2306 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2301 2307 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2302 2308
2303 2309 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2304 2310 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2305 2311 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2306 2312 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2307 2313 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2308 2314
2309 2315 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2310 2316 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2311 2317 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2312 2318 true by default.
2313 2319
2314 2320 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2315 2321 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2316 2322 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2317 2323 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2318 2324
2319 2325 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2320 2326
2321 2327 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2322 2328 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2323 2329 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2324 2330 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2325 2331 version committed).
2326 2332
2327 2333 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2328 2334 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2329 2335 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2330 2336 discussion on the user list.
2331 2337
2332 2338 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2333 2339 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2334 2340 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2335 2341 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2336 2342
2337 2343 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2338 2344
2339 2345 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2340 2346 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2341 2347 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2342 2348
2343 2349 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2344 2350 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2345 2351 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2346 2352
2347 2353 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2348 2354 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2349 2355 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2350 2356 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2351 2357 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2352 2358 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2353 2359 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2354 2360 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2355 2361 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2356 2362 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2357 2363 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2358 2364 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2359 2365 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2360 2366 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2361 2367 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2362 2368 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2363 2369 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2364 2370 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2365 2371 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2366 2372 branch refactoring.
2367 2373
2368 2374 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2369 2375
2370 2376 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2371 2377 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2372 2378
2373 2379 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2374 2380 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2375 2381 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2376 2382 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2377 2383 worked correctly).
2378 2384
2379 2385 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2380 2386 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2381 2387 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2382 2388
2383 2389 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2384 2390
2385 2391 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2386 2392 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2387 2393 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2388 2394 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2389 2395 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2390 2396 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2391 2397 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2392 2398 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2393 2399
2394 2400 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2395 2401
2396 2402 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2397 2403 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2398 2404 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2399 2405 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2400 2406 on this.
2401 2407
2402 2408 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2403 2409
2404 2410 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2405 2411 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2406 2412 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2407 2413 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2408 2414 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2409 2415
2410 2416 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2411 2417
2412 2418 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2413 2419 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2414 2420 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2415 2421 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2416 2422
2417 2423 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2418 2424
2419 2425 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2420 2426 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2421 2427 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2422 2428
2423 2429 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2424 2430
2425 2431 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2426 2432 startup time.
2427 2433
2428 2434 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2429 2435 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2430 2436 it's working in all cases.
2431 2437
2432 2438 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2433 2439 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2434 2440 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2435 2441 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2436 2442 per-search basis.
2437 2443
2438 2444 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2439 2445
2440 2446 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2441 2447 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2442 2448 of a patch by Jorgen.
2443 2449
2444 2450 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2445 2451
2446 2452 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2447 2453 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2448 2454 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2449 2455
2450 2456 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2451 2457
2452 2458 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2453 2459 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2454 2460 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2455 2461 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2456 2462
2457 2463 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2458 2464
2459 2465 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2460 2466 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2461 2467 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2462 2468 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2463 2469 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2464 2470 implementing this functionality.
2465 2471
2466 2472 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2467 2473
2468 2474 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2469 2475 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2470 2476 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2471 2477 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2472 2478 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2473 2479 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2474 2480 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2475 2481
2476 2482 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2477 2483
2478 2484 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2479 2485 reported by Stephen Walton.
2480 2486
2481 2487 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2482 2488
2483 2489 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2484 2490
2485 2491 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2486 2492 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2487 2493
2488 2494 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2489 2495
2490 2496 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2491 2497 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2492 2498
2493 2499 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2494 2500 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2495 2501
2496 2502 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2497 2503
2498 2504 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2499 2505 finishing.
2500 2506
2501 2507 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2502 2508 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2503 2509
2504 2510 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2505 2511 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2506 2512 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2507 2513
2508 2514 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2509 2515 code, handy in general.
2510 2516
2511 2517 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2512 2518 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2513 2519 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2514 2520
2515 2521 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2516 2522
2517 2523 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2518 2524 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2519 2525 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2520 2526 testing, though.
2521 2527 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2522 2528 like this before...
2523 2529
2524 2530 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2525 2531 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2526 2532
2527 2533 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2528 2534 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2529 2535
2530 2536 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2531 2537
2532 2538 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2533 2539 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2534 2540 F. Mantegazza.
2535 2541
2536 2542 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2537 2543
2538 2544 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2539 2545 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2540 2546 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2541 2547
2542 2548 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2543 2549 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2544 2550 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2545 2551 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2546 2552 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2547 2553 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2548 2554
2549 2555 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2550 2556
2551 2557 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2552 2558 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2553 2559 beyond readline-based environments.
2554 2560
2555 2561 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2556 2562
2557 2563 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2558 2564
2559 2565 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2560 2566 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2561 2567 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2562 2568 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2563 2569 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2564 2570
2565 2571 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2566 2572
2567 2573 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2568 2574 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2569 2575 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2570 2576
2571 2577 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2572 2578
2573 2579 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2574 2580
2575 2581 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2576 2582
2577 2583 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2578 2584 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2579 2585 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2580 2586 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2581 2587 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2582 2588 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2583 2589
2584 2590 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2585 2591
2586 2592 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2587 2593
2588 2594 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2589 2595
2590 2596 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2591 2597 invalid $HOME under win32.
2592 2598
2593 2599 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2594 2600
2595 2601 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2596 2602 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2597 2603 simpler and a bit faster.
2598 2604
2599 2605 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2600 2606 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2601 2607 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2602 2608 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2603 2609 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2604 2610
2605 2611 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2606 2612 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2607 2613 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2608 2614
2609 2615 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2610 2616 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2611 2617
2612 2618 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2613 2619 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2614 2620 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2615 2621 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2616 2622 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2617 2623 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2618 2624 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2619 2625
2620 2626 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2621 2627
2622 2628 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2623 2629
2624 2630 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2625 2631
2626 2632 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2627 2633 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2628 2634
2629 2635 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2630 2636
2631 2637 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2632 2638 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2633 2639 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2634 2640 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2635 2641 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2636 2642 for the contribution.
2637 2643
2638 2644 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2639 2645 slightly modified version of the patch in
2640 2646 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2641 2647 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2642 2648 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.

2644 2650 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2645 2651
2646 2652 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2647 2653 I/O a bit more.
2648 2654
2649 2655 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2650 2656 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2651 2657
2652 2658 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15

2654 2660 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2655 2661
2656 2662 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2657 2663 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2658 2664 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2659 2665 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2660 2666
2661 2667 readline_remove_delims -/~

2667 2673
2668 2674 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2669 2675 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2670 2676 <eli@gondolin.net>
2671 2677
2672 2678 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2673 2679
2674 2680 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2675 2681 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2676 2682
2677 2683 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2678 2684
2679 2685 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2680 2686 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2681 2687 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2682 2688
2683 2689 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2684 2690
2685 2691 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2686 2692 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2687 2693
2688 2694 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2689 2695
2690 2696 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2691 2697 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2692 2698
2693 2699 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2694 2700 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2695 2701 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2696 2702 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2697 2703 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2698 2704 for more details.
2699 2705
2700 2706 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2701 2707 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2702 2708 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2703 2709 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2704 2710
2705 2711 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2706 2712
2707 2713 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2708 2714 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2709 2715 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2710 2716 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2711 2717 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2712 2718
2713 2719 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2714 2720 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2715 2721 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2716 2722
2717 2723 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2718 2724
2719 2725 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2720 2726
2721 2727 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2722 2728
2723 2729 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2724 2730 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2725 2731 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2726 2732 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2727 2733 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2728 2734
2729 2735 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2730 2736
2731 2737 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2732 2738
2733 2739 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2734 2740 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2735 2741 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2736 2742 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2737 2743 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2738 2744
2739 2745 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2740 2746 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2741 2747 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2742 2748 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2743 2749 take the text parameter.
2744 2750
2745 2751 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2746 2752 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2747 2753 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2748 2754 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2749 2755 pysh profile to include the line
2750 2756
2751 2757 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2752 2758
2753 2759 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2754 2760 delete pysh.py and the line
2755 2761
2756 2762 execfile pysh.py
2757 2763
2758 2764 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2759 2765
2760 2766 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2761 2767 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2762 2768 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2763 2769 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2764 2770 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2765 2771
2766 2772 * pysh.py:
2767 2773
2768 2774 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2769 2775
2770 2776 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2771 2777 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2772 2778 want it can still turn it off.
2773 2779
2774 2780 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2775 2781 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2776 2782 off by default.
2777 2783
2778 2784 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2779 2785 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2780 2786 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2781 2787 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2782 2788 calls.
2783 2789
2784 2790 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2785 2791
2786 2792 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2787 2793 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2788 2794 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2789 2795
2790 2796 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2791 2797
2792 2798 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2793 2799 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2794 2800 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2795 2801 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2796 2802
2797 2803 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2798 2804 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2799 2805 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2800 2806 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2801 2807
2802 2808 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2803 2809
2804 2810 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2805 2811 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2806 2812
2807 2813 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2808 2814 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2809 2815 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2810 2816 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2811 2817 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2812 2818 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2813 2819 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2814 2820 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
2815 2821
2816 2822 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2817 2823
2818 2824 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2819 2825 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2820 2826 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2821 2827 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2822 2828 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2823 2829 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2824 2830 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2825 2831 add new completers at runtime.
2826 2832
2827 2833 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2828 2834
2829 2835 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2830 2836 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2831 2837 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2832 2838 ? system.
2833 2839
2834 2840 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2835 2841 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2836 2842 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2837 2843 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2838 2844 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2839 2845 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2840 2846 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2841 2847 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2842 2848
2843 2849 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2844 2850
2845 2851 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2846 2852 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2847 2853 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2848 2854 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2849 2855 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2850 2856
2851 2857 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2852 2858 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2853 2859 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2854 2860 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2855 2861 add:
2856 2862
2857 2863 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2858 2864 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
2859 2865
2860 2866 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2861 2867
2862 2868 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2863 2869 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2864 2870 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2865 2871 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2866 2872
2867 2873 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2868 2874 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2869 2875 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2870 2876 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2871 2877 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2872 2878 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2873 2879 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2874 2880 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2875 2881 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2876 2882
2877 2883 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2878 2884
2879 2885 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2880 2886 prompt namespace handling.
2881 2887
2882 2888 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2883 2889
2884 2890 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2885 2891 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2886 2892 trips the emacs python mode).
2887 2893 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2888 2894 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2889 2895 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2890 2896 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2891 2897 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2892 2898 calls will be made at runtime.
2893 2899
2894 2900 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2895 2901
2896 2902 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2897 2903 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2898 2904 the call to %history.
2899 2905
2900 2906 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
2901 2907
2902 2908 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2903 2909
2904 2910 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2905 2911 ipmagic() function calls.
2906 2912
2907 2913 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2908 2914 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2909 2915
2910 2916 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2911 2917
2912 2918 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2913 2919 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2914 2920 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2915 2921 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2916 2922 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2917 2923 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2918 2924 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2919 2925 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2920 2926
2921 2927 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2922 2928
2923 2929 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2924 2930 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2925 2931 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2926 2932 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2927 2933 Ville Vainio.
2928 2934
2929 2935 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2930 2936
2931 2937 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2932 2938 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2933 2939 define the ones they personally like.
2934 2940
2935 2941 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2936 2942
2937 2943 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2938 2944 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2939 2945
2940 2946 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2941 2947
2942 2948 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2943 2949 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2944 2950
2945 2951 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2946 2952 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2947 2953 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2948 2954 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2949 2955 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2950 2956 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2951 2957 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2952 2958 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2953 2959
2954 2960 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2955 2961 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2956 2962 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2957 2963 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2958 2964 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

2960 2966 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2961 2967
2962 2968 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2963 2969 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2964 2970 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2965 2971
2966 2972 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2967 2973 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2968 2974 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2969 2975
2970 2976 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
2971 2977
2972 2978 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2973 2979
2974 2980 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2975 2981 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2976 2982 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2977 2983 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2978 2984 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2979 2985 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2980 2986 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2981 2987 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2982 2988 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2983 2989 system is a separate implementation).
2984 2990
2985 2991 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2986 2992 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2987 2993 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2988 2994 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2989 2995 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2990 2996 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2991 2997 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2992 2998 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2993 2999 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2994 3000 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2995 3001 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.
2996 3002
2997 3003 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2998 3004
2999 3005 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
3000 3006 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
3001 3007 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
3002 3008 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
3003 3009 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
3004 3010 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
3005 3011 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
3006 3012 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
3007 3013
3008 3014 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3009 3015
3010 3016 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
3011 3017 previous call produced a syntax error.
3012 3018
3013 3019 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3014 3020 classes without constructor.
3015 3021
3016 3022 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3017 3023
3018 3024 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
3019 3025 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
3020 3026 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
3021 3027 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
3022 3028 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
3023 3029 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
3024 3030 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3025 3031
3026 3032 2005-02-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3027 3033
3028 3034 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
3029 3035 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
3030 3036
3031 3037 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3032 3038
3033 3039 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
3034 3040 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
3035 3041 optimizations.
3036 3042
3037 3043 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
3038 3044 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
3039 3045
3040 3046 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3041 3047
3042 3048 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
3043 3049 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
3044 3050 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
3045 3051 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
3046 3052 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
3047 3053 avoid annoying the lists further.
3048 3054
3049 3055 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
3050 3056
3051 3057 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3052 3058
3053 3059 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
3054 3060 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
3055 3061 norm definitions.
3056 3062 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
3057 3063 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
3058 3064 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
3059 3065
3060 3066 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
3061 3067 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
3062 3068 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
3063 3069 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
3064 3070 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
3065 3071
3066 3072 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
3067 3073 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
3068 3074 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
3069 3075 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
3070 3076
3071 3077 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
3072 3078 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
3073 3079 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
3074 3080 fixes.
3075 3081
3076 3082 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
3077 3083 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
3078 3084 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
3079 3085 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
3080 3086 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
3081 3087 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
3082 3088 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
3083 3089
3084 3090 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
3085 3091
3086 3092 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3087 3093
3088 3094 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
3089 3095 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
3090 3096 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
3091 3097 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
3092 3098 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
3093 3099 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
3094 3100 Panel.
3095 3101
3096 3102 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
3097 3103 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
3098 3104 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
3099 3105 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
3100 3106 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
3101 3107
3102 3108 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3103 3109
3104 3110 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
3105 3111 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
3106 3112
3107 3113 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
3108 3114
3109 3115 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3110 3116
3111 3117 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
3112 3118 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
3113 3119 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
3114 3120 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
3115 3121 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
3116 3122 python shell.
3117 3123
3118 3124 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
3119 3125 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
3120 3126 on assignments. This closes
3121 3127 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
3122 3128 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
3123 3129 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
3124 3130
3125 3131 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3126 3132
3127 3133 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
3128 3134 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
3129 3135
3130 3136 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
3131 3137
3132 3138 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3133 3139
3134 3140 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
3135 3141 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
3136 3142
3137 3143 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3138 3144
3139 3145 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3140 3146 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
3141 3147 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
3142 3148
3143 3149 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3144 3150
3145 3151 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
3146 3152 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
3147 3153 'parent' object were present on the same line.
3148 3154
3149 3155 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3150 3156
3151 3157 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
3152 3158 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
3153 3159 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
3154 3160
3155 3161 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
3156 3162 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
3157 3163 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
3158 3164
3159 3165 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3160 3166
3161 3167 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
3162 3168 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
3163 3169
3164 3170 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3165 3171
3166 3172 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
3167 3173 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
3168 3174 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
3169 3175
3170 3176 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3171 3177
3172 3178 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
3173 3179 reported by Prabhu.
3174 3180 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
3175 3181 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
3176 3182 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
3177 3183
3178 3184 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
3179 3185 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
3180 3186
3181 3187 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
3182 3188 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
3183 3189 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
3184 3190 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
3185 3191 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
3186 3192 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
3187 3193
3188 3194 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
3189 3195
3190 3196 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3191 3197
3192 3198 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3193 3199 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3194 3200 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3195 3201 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3196 3202
3197 3203 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3198 3204 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3199 3205
3200 3206 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3201 3207 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3202 3208 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3203 3209 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3204 3210 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3205 3211 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3206 3212 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3207 3213
3208 3214 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3209 3215 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3210 3216 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3211 3217
3212 3218 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3213 3219 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3214 3220 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3215 3221 before.
3216 3222
3217 3223 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3218 3224
3219 3225 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3220 3226 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3221 3227 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3222 3228 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3223 3229
3224 3230 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3225 3231 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3226 3232 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3227 3233 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3228 3234 timing very short-running code.
3229 3235
3230 3236 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3231 3237 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3232 3238 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3233 3239 utility.
3234 3240
3235 3241 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3236 3242 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3237 3243 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3238 3244 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3239 3245 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3240 3246 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3241 3247 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3242 3248 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3243 3249
3244 3250 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3245 3251 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3246 3252 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3247 3253
3248 3254 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3249 3255 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3250 3256 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3251 3257 is for).
3252 3258
3253 3259 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3254 3260 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3255 3261 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3256 3262 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3257 3263 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3258 3264
3259 3265 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3260 3266
3261 3267 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3262 3268 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3263 3269 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3264 3270 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3265 3271 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3266 3272
3267 3273 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3268 3274 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3269 3275 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3270 3276 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3271 3277 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3272 3278 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3273 3279
3274 3280 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3275 3281
3276 3282 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3277 3283 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3278 3284
3279 3285 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3280 3286
3281 3287 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3282 3288 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3283 3289 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3284 3290 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3285 3291

3288 3294 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3289 3295
3290 3296 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3291 3297 setting with -d option.
3292 3298
3293 3299 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3294 3300 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3295 3301 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3296 3302 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!

3298 3304 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3299 3305
3300 3306 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3301 3307 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3302 3308
3303 3309 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3304 3310 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3305 3311 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3306 3312 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3307 3313 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3308 3314 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3309 3315 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3310 3316 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3311 3317 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3312 3318 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3313 3319 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3314 3320
3315 3321 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3316 3322
3317 3323 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3318 3324 cache when empty lines were present.
3319 3325
3320 3326 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3321 3327
3322 3328 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3323 3329 options for WX and GTK.
3324 3330
3325 3331 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3326 3332
3327 3333 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3328 3334 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3329 3335 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3330 3336 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3331 3337 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3332 3338 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3333 3339 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3334 3340
3335 3341 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3336 3342 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3337 3343
3338 3344 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3339 3345
3340 3346 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3341 3347 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3342 3348 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3343 3349 many thanks.
3344 3350
3345 3351 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3346 3352 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3347 3353 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3348 3354
3349 3355 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3350 3356
3351 3357 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3352 3358 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3353 3359 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3354 3360
3355 3361 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
3356 3362
3357 3363 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3358 3364
3359 3365 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3360 3366 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3361 3367 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3362 3368
3363 3369 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3364 3370
3365 3371 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3366 3372 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3367 3373
3368 3374 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3369 3375
3370 3376 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3371 3377 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3372 3378 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3373 3379 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3374 3380 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3375 3381 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3376 3382 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3377 3383
3378 3384 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3379 3385
3380 3386 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3381 3387 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3382 3388 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3383 3389 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3384 3390
3385 3391 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3386 3392 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3387 3393
3388 3394 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3389 3395
3390 3396 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3391 3397 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3392 3398
3393 3399 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3394 3400 use throughout ipython.
3395 3401
3396 3402 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3397 3403 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3398 3404
3399 3405 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3400 3406 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3401 3407 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3402 3408 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3403 3409
3404 3410 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3405 3411
3406 3412 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3407 3413 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3408 3414 report by Francesc Alted.
3409 3415
3410 3416 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3411 3417
3412 3418 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3413 3419 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3414 3420
3415 3421 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3416 3422
3417 3423 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3418 3424 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3419 3425 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3420 3426 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3421 3427 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3422 3428 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3423 3429 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3424 3430 correctly set.
3425 3431
3426 3432 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3427 3433
3428 3434 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3429 3435 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3430 3436 import requirement of PEP-328.
3431 3437
3432 3438 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3433 3439 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3434 3440 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3435 3441 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3436 3442
3437 3443 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3438 3444
3439 3445 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3440 3446
3441 3447 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3442 3448 via a normal python function call.
3443 3449
3444 3450 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3445 3451 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3446 3452 2.4.
3447 3453
3448 3454 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3449 3455
3450 3456 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3451 3457 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3452 3458 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3453 3459 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3454 3460 is given to the user).
3455 3461
3456 3462 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3457 3463
3458 3464 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3459 3465 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3460 3466 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3461 3467 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3462 3468
3463 3469 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3464 3470 python 2.2.
3465 3471
3466 3472 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3467 3473 banner arg for embedded customization.
3468 3474
3469 3475 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3470 3476 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3471 3477 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3472 3478 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3473 3479 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3474 3480 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3475 3481
3476 3482 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3477 3483 minor changes to debian dir.
3478 3484
3479 3485 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3480 3486 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3481 3487 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3482 3488 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3483 3489
3484 3490 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3485 3491
3486 3492 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3487 3493 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3488 3494 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3489 3495 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3490 3496 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3491 3497
3492 3498 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3493 3499
3494 3500 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3495 3501 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3496 3502
3497 3503 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3498 3504
3499 3505 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3500 3506 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3501 3507
3502 3508 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3503 3509
3504 3510 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3505 3511
3506 3512 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3507 3513 updated.
3508 3514
3509 3515 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3510 3516
3511 3517 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3512 3518 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3513 3519 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3514 3520 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3515 3521 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3516 3522
3517 3523 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3518 3524 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3519 3525 split regexp. Closes
3520 3526 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3521 3527 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3522 3528 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3523 3529 extensions.
3524 3530
3525 3531 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3526 3532 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3527 3533 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3528 3534 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3529 3535 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3530 3536
3531 3537 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3532 3538 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3533 3539 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3534 3540 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3535 3541
3536 3542 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3537 3543 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3538 3544
3539 3545 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3540 3546 fine-tune banner.
3541 3547
3542 3548 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3543 3549 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3544 3550
3545 3551 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3546 3552
3547 3553 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3548 3554 were missing.
3549 3555
3550 3556 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3551 3557 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3552 3558 valid at the command line.
3553 3559
3554 3560 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3555 3561 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3556 3562
3557 3563 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3558 3564
3559 3565 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3560 3566 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3561 3567 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3562 3568
3563 3569 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3564 3570
3565 3571 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3566 3572 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3567 3573 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3568 3574 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3569 3575 continue to use the standard profiler.
3570 3576
3571 3577 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3572 3578
3573 3579 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3574 3580 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3575 3581 close.
3576 3582
3577 3583 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3578 3584
3579 3585 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3580 3586 in Magic and ultraTB.
3581 3587
3582 3588 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3583 3589
3584 3590 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3585 3591 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3586 3592 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3587 3593 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3588 3594
3589 3595 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3590 3596 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3591 3597 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3592 3598 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3593 3599 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3594 3600 infrastructure in place.
3595 3601
3596 3602 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3597 3603
3598 3604 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3599 3605
3600 3606 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3601 3607 the pylab profile.
3602 3608
3603 3609 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3604 3610
3605 3611 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3606 3612
3607 3613 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3608 3614 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3609 3615 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3610 3616 itself.
3611 3617
3612 3618 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3613 3619 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3614 3620 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3615 3621 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3616 3622 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3617 3623 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3618 3624 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3619 3625 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3620 3626
3621 3627 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3622 3628 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3623 3629
3624 3630 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3625 3631
3626 3632 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3627 3633 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3628 3634 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3629 3635
3630 3636 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3631 3637
3632 3638 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3633 3639 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3634 3640
3635 3641 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3636 3642
3637 3643 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3638 3644
3639 3645 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3640 3646
3641 3647 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3642 3648
3643 3649 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3644 3650 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3645 3651 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3646 3652
3647 3653 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3648 3654
3649 3655 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3650 3656 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3651 3657 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3652 3658 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3653 3659 works.
3654 3660
3655 3661 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3656 3662 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3657 3663 practice.

3660 3666
3661 3667 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3662 3668 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3663 3669 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3664 3670
3665 3671 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3666 3672
3667 3673 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3668 3674 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3669 3675 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3670 3676 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3671 3677
3672 3678 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3673 3679
3674 3680 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3675 3681 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3676 3682 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3677 3683 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3678 3684
3679 3685 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3680 3686
3681 3687 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3682 3688
3683 3689 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3684 3690 fail for any number.
3685 3691 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3686 3692 empty bookmarks.
3687 3693
3688 3694 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3689 3695
3690 3696 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3691 3697
3692 3698 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3693 3699
3694 3700 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3695 3701 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3696 3702
3697 3703 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3698 3704 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3699 3705
3700 3706 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3701 3707
3702 3708 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3703 3709 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3704 3710 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3705 3711 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3706 3712 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3707 3713
3708 3714 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3709 3715
3710 3716 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3711 3717 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3712 3718
3713 3719 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3714 3720
3715 3721 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3716 3722 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3717 3723 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3718 3724 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3719 3725
3720 3726 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3721 3727 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3722 3728 Schmolck.
3723 3729
3724 3730 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3725 3731
3726 3732 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3727 3733
3728 3734 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3729 3735 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3730 3736
3731 3737 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3732 3738 optimizations.
3733 3739
3734 3740 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3735 3741 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3736 3742
3737 3743 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3738 3744 --Started changelog.
3739 3745 --make clear do what it say it does
3740 3746 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3741 3747 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3742 3748 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3743 3749 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3744 3750 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3745 3751 can be done for other cases.
3746 3752 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3747 3753 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3748 3754 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3749 3755
3750 3756 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3751 3757 --added logfile rotation
3752 3758 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3753 3759
3754 3760 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3755 3761 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3756 3762 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3757 3763 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3758 3764 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3759 3765 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3760 3766 --added global logfile option
3761 3767 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3762 3768 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3763 3769
3764 3770 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3765 3771 --added a README
3766 3772 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3767 3773 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3768 3774 bug or feature.
3769 3775 --changed rc file for new behavior
3770 3776
3771 3777 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3772 3778
3773 3779 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3774 3780 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3775 3781 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3776 3782
3777 3783 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3778 3784 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3779 3785
3780 3786 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3781 3787
3782 3788 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3783 3789 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3784 3790 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3785 3791 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3786 3792 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3787 3793 and prepended with a #.
3788 3794
3789 3795 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3790 3796 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3791 3797
3792 3798 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3793 3799
3794 3800 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3795 3801 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3796 3802
3797 3803 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3798 3804
3799 3805 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3800 3806 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3801 3807
3802 3808 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3803 3809
3804 3810 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3805 3811 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3806 3812 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3807 3813
3808 3814 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3809 3815
3810 3816 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3811 3817 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3812 3818
3813 3819 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3814 3820 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3815 3821 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3816 3822 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3817 3823 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3818 3824 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3819 3825 be implemented later).
3820 3826
3821 3827 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3822 3828 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3823 3829 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3824 3830 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3825 3831
3826 3832 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3827 3833 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3828 3834 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3829 3835
3830 3836 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3831 3837 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3832 3838
3833 3839 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3834 3840 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3835 3841 readline make it impossible to go further.
3836 3842
3837 3843 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3838 3844
3839 3845 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3840 3846 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3841 3847
3842 3848 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3843 3849
3844 3850 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3845 3851 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3846 3852 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3847 3853 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3848 3854
3849 3855 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3850 3856 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3851 3857 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3852 3858 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3853 3859
3854 3860 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3855 3861 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3856 3862 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3857 3863 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3858 3864 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3859 3865 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3860 3866 problem.
3861 3867
3862 3868 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3863 3869 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3864 3870
3865 3871 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3866 3872 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3867 3873 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3868 3874
3869 3875 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3870 3876
3871 3877 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3872 3878 continue prompts.
3873 3879
3874 3880 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3875 3881 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3876 3882 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3877 3883 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3878 3884 byte-compilation saves time.
3879 3885
3880 3886 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3881 3887
3882 3888 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3883 3889 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3884 3890
3885 3891 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3886 3892 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3887 3893
3888 3894 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3889 3895 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3890 3896 common cases where it's a problem.
3891 3897
3892 3898 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3893 3899
3894 3900 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3895 3901 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3896 3902 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3897 3903 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3898 3904 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3899 3905 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3900 3906
3901 3907 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3902 3908
3903 3909 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3904 3910 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3905 3911
3906 3912 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3907 3913 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3908 3914 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3909 3915 structure as win_exec_ext.
3910 3916
3911 3917 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3912 3918 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3913 3919
3914 3920 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3915 3921 delete aliases.
3916 3922
3917 3923 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3918 3924 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3919 3925
3920 3926 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3921 3927
3922 3928 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3923 3929 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3924 3930
3925 3931 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3926 3932
3927 3933 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3928 3934 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3929 3935
3930 3936 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3931 3937 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3932 3938
3933 3939 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3934 3940 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3935 3941 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3936 3942 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3937 3943 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3938 3944 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3939 3945
3940 3946 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3941 3947 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3942 3948 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3943 3949
3944 3950 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3945 3951 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3946 3952 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3947 3953
3948 3954 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3949 3955 via an extra $. For example:
3950 3956
3951 3957 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3952 3958
3953 3959 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3954 3960 a python variable
3955 3961
3956 3962 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3957 3963 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3958 3964
3959 3965 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3960 3966 things prematurely.
3961 3967
3962 3968 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3963 3969 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3964 3970
3965 3971 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3966 3972 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3967 3973 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3968 3974 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3969 3975 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3970 3976 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3971 3977 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3972 3978 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3973 3979
3974 3980 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3975 3981 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3976 3982 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3977 3983 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3978 3984 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3979 3985 with the old system).
3980 3986
3981 3987 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3982 3988
3983 3989 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3984 3990 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3985 3991
3986 3992 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3987 3993 call to eval.
3988 3994 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3989 3995 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3990 3996 in.
3991 3997
3992 3998 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3993 3999
3994 4000 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3995 4001 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3996 4002 confusion).
3997 4003
3998 4004 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3999 4005 check for Windows users.
4000 4006
4001 4007 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
4002 4008 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
4003 4009 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
4004 4010 download it.
4005 4011
4006 4012 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4007 4013
4008 4014 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
4009 4015 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
4010 4016 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
4011 4017 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
4012 4018 of IDLE's out).
4013 4019
4014 4020 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
4015 4021 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
4016 4022 eventually.
4017 4023 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
4018 4024
4019 4025 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4020 4026
4021 4027 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
4022 4028 list of auto-defined aliases.
4023 4029
4024 4030 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4025 4031
4026 4032 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
4027 4033 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
4028 4034 things under Windows).
4029 4035
4030 4036 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4031 4037
4032 4038 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
4033 4039 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
4034 4040 reported by Thorsten.
4035 4041
4036 4042 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4037 4043
4038 4044 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
4039 4045 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
4040 4046 for all examples and the manual as well.
4041 4047
4042 4048 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4043 4049
4044 4050 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
4045 4051 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
4046 4052 inherit from BasePrompt.
4047 4053
4048 4054 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
4049 4055 with python version (since paths are fixed).
4050 4056
4051 4057 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
4052 4058 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
4053 4059 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
4054 4060 defaults.
4055 4061 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
4056 4062 this fix manually!
4057 4063
4058 4064 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
4059 4065 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
4060 4066 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
4061 4067 distutils).
4062 4068
4063 4069 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
4064 4070 usage of new '\D' escape.
4065 4071
4066 4072 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
4067 4073 lacks os.getuid())
4068 4074 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
4069 4075 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
4070 4076 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
4071 4077 handling mechanism.
4072 4078 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
4073 4079 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
4074 4080 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
4075 4081 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
4076 4082 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
4077 4083 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
4078 4084 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
4079 4085
4080 4086 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4081 4087
4082 4088 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
4083 4089 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
4084 4090 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
4085 4091
4086 4092 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
4087 4093 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
4088 4094 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
4089 4095 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
4090 4096 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
4091 4097 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
4092 4098 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
4093 4099 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4094 4100
4095 4101 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
4096 4102 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
4097 4103 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
4098 4104 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
4099 4105 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
4100 4106 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
4101 4107 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
4102 4108 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
4103 4109
4104 4110 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
4105 4111 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
4106 4112 functions uniform.
4107 4113 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
4108 4114
4109 4115 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
4110 4116 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
4111 4117 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
4112 4118 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
4113 4119 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
4114 4120 use to parse their options.
4115 4121
4116 4122 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
4117 4123 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
4118 4124 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
4119 4125
4120 4126 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
4121 4127 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
4122 4128 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
4123 4129 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
4124 4130 via the prompt_specials.
4125 4131
4126 4132 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4127 4133
4128 4134 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
4129 4135 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
4130 4136 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
4131 4137 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
4132 4138 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
4133 4139 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4134 4140 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
4135 4141 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
4136 4142
4137 4143 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4138 4144
4139 4145 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
4140 4146 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
4141 4147 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
4142 4148
4143 4149 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4144 4150
4145 4151 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
4146 4152 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
4147 4153
4148 4154 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4149 4155
4150 4156 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
4151 4157 parens would get passed to the shell.
4152 4158
4153 4159 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4154 4160
4155 4161 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
4156 4162 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
4157 4163
4158 4164 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
4159 4165 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
4160 4166 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
4161 4167 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
4162 4168 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
4163 4169
4164 4170 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
4165 4171 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
4166 4172 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
4167 4173 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
4168 4174
4169 4175 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
4170 4176
4171 4177 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4172 4178
4173 4179 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
4174 4180 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
4175 4181 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4176 4182
4177 4183 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
4178 4184 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
4179 4185 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
4180 4186 official documentation.
4181 4187
4182 4188 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4183 4189
4184 4190 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
4185 4191 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
4186 4192 explicit filename.
4187 4193
4188 4194 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4189 4195
4190 4196 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4191 4197 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4192 4198 case.
4193 4199
4194 4200 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4195 4201 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4196 4202 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4197 4203
4198 4204 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
4199 4205
4200 4206 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4201 4207
4202 4208 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4203 4209 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4204 4210 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4205 4211 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4206 4212 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4207 4213 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4208 4214 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4209 4215 any changes to python proper.
4210 4216
4211 4217 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4212 4218 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4213 4219 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4214 4220 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4215 4221 Schmolck.
4216 4222
4217 4223 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4218 4224
4219 4225 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4220 4226 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4221 4227 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4222 4228 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4223 4229
4224 4230 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4225 4231
4226 4232 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4227 4233 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4228 4234 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4229 4235 name).
4230 4236
4231 4237 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4232 4238 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4233 4239 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4234 4240 Francois Pinard.
4235 4241
4236 4242 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4237 4243
4238 4244 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4239 4245 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4240 4246 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4241 4247 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4242 4248 not work.
4243 4249
4244 4250 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4245 4251
4246 4252 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4247 4253 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4248 4254 distinguishes stdout/err.
4249 4255
4250 4256 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4251 4257 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4252 4258 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4253 4259 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4254 4260 the standard library.
4255 4261
4256 4262 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4257 4263 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4258 4264
4259 4265 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4260 4266 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4261 4267
4262 4268 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4263 4269
4264 4270 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4265 4271 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4266 4272 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4267 4273 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4268 4274 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4269 4275 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4270 4276
4271 4277 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4272 4278
4273 4279 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4274 4280 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4275 4281 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4276 4282 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4277 4283
4278 4284 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4279 4285
4280 4286 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4281 4287 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4282 4288 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4283 4289 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4284 4290
4285 4291 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4286 4292
4287 4293 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4288 4294 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4289 4295 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4290 4296 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4291 4297 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4292 4298 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4293 4299 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4294 4300 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4295 4301
4296 4302 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4297 4303
4298 4304 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4299 4305 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4300 4306
4301 4307 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4302 4308
4303 4309 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4304 4310 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4305 4311 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4306 4312 very short.
4307 4313
4308 4314 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4309 4315
4310 4316 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4311 4317 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4312 4318 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4313 4319 this before making it permanent.
4314 4320
4315 4321 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4316 4322 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4317 4323 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4318 4324 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4319 4325
4320 4326 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4321 4327
4322 4328 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4323 4329 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4324 4330
4325 4331 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4326 4332
4327 4333 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4328 4334 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4329 4335 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4330 4336 cases I've missed.
4331 4337
4332 4338 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4333 4339
4334 4340 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4335 4341 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4336 4342 system would be triggered for @p.
4337 4343
4338 4344 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4339 4345 cleanups, code unmodified.
4340 4346
4341 4347 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4342 4348 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4343 4349 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4344 4350 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4345 4351 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4346 4352 The actual changes affect many files.
4347 4353
4348 4354 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4349 4355
4350 4356 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4351 4357 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4352 4358 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4353 4359
4354 4360 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4355 4361
4356 4362 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4357 4363 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4358 4364
4359 4365 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4360 4366
4361 4367 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4362 4368 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4363 4369 numpy list.
4364 4370
4365 4371 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4366 4372
4367 4373 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4368 4374 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4369 4375 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4370 4376 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.

4372 4378 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4373 4379
4374 4380 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4375 4381 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4376 4382 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4377 4383 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4378 4384
4379 4385 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4380 4386 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4381 4387
4382 4388 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4383 4389
4384 4390 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4385 4391 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4386 4392 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4387 4393 Collins.
4388 4394
4389 4395 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0

4391 4397 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4392 4398
4393 4399 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4394 4400 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4395 4401 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4396 4402
4397 4403 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4398 4404
4399 4405 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4400 4406 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4401 4407 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4402 4408 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4403 4409
4404 4410 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4405 4411 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4406 4412 __getitem__ and __call__.
4407 4413
4408 4414 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4409 4415
4410 4416 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4411 4417
4412 4418 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4413 4419 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4414 4420 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4415 4421 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4416 4422
4417 4423 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4418 4424 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4419 4425 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4420 4426 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4421 4427 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4422 4428 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4423 4429 necessary.
4424 4430
4425 4431 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4426 4432 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4427 4433 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4428 4434
4429 4435 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4430 4436 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4431 4437 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4432 4438 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4433 4439
4434 4440 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4435 4441 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4436 4442 generators.
4437 4443
4438 4444 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4439 4445 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4440 4446 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4441 4447 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4442 4448 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4443 4449 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4444 4450 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4445 4451
4446 4452 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4447 4453 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4448 4454 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4449 4455 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4450 4456 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4451 4457
4452 4458 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4453 4459 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4454 4460 edit under some circumstances.
4455 4461 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4456 4462 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4457 4463 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4458 4464 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4459 4465 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4460 4466 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4461 4467 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4462 4468 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4463 4469 need more testing.
4464 4470
4465 4471 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4466 4472
4467 4473 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4468 4474 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4469 4475 and simpler code.
4470 4476
4471 4477 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4472 4478
4473 4479 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4474 4480 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4475 4481 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4476 4482 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4477 4483 even if they were contiguous.
4478 4484 (l1norm): Added this function.
4479 4485 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4480 4486 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4481 4487 and speed.
4482 4488
4483 4489 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4484 4490
4485 4491 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4486 4492 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4487 4493 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4488 4494
4489 4495 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4490 4496
4491 4497 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4492 4498 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4493 4499 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4494 4500
4495 4501 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4496 4502 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4497 4503 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4498 4504
4499 4505 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4500 4506
4501 4507 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4502 4508 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4503 4509 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4504 4510 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4505 4511 activity.
4506 4512
4507 4513 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4508 4514
4509 4515 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4510 4516 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4511 4517 Numeric.identity)
4512 4518
4513 4519 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4514 4520
4515 4521 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4516 4522 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4517 4523 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4518 4524
4519 4525 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4520 4526
4521 4527 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4522 4528 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4523 4529 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4524 4530 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4525 4531
4526 4532 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4527 4533 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4528 4534 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4529 4535 is implemented).
4530 4536
4531 4537 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4532 4538
4533 4539 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4534 4540 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4535 4541 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4536 4542
4537 4543 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4538 4544 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4539 4545 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4540 4546 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4541 4547 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
4542 4548
4543 4549 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
4544 4550
4545 4551 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4546 4552
4547 4553 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4548 4554 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4549 4555 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4550 4556
4551 4557 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4552 4558
4553 4559 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4554 4560 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4555 4561 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4556 4562
4557 4563 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4558 4564 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4559 4565 crash report from Prabhu.
4560 4566
4561 4567 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4562 4568
4563 4569 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4564 4570 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4565 4571 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4566 4572 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4567 4573 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4568 4574 also be useful in other cases.
4569 4575
4570 4576 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4571 4577 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4572 4578 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4573 4579
4574 4580 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4575 4581
4576 4582 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4577 4583
4578 4584 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4579 4585 installing for a new user under Windows.
4580 4586
4581 4587 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4582 4588
4583 4589 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4584 4590 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4585 4591 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4586 4592 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4587 4593 there.
4588 4594
4589 4595 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4590 4596 info to crash reports.
4591 4597
4592 4598 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4593 4599 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4594 4600 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4595 4601 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4596 4602
4597 4603 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4598 4604
4599 4605 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4600 4606 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4601 4607 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4602 4608 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4603 4609
4604 4610 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4605 4611
4606 4612 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4607 4613 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4608 4614
4609 4615 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4610 4616
4611 4617 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4612 4618 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4613 4619
4614 4620 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4615 4621
4616 4622 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4617 4623
4618 4624 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4619 4625 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4620 4626 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4621 4627
4622 4628 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4623 4629 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4624 4630 with the new auto-indent option.
4625 4631
4626 4632 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4627 4633
4628 4634 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4629 4635 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4630 4636 this class from the main Shell class.
4631 4637
4632 4638 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4633 4639 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4634 4640 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4635 4641 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4636 4642 option).
4637 4643
4638 4644 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4639 4645 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4640 4646 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4641 4647 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4642 4648 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4643 4649
4644 4650 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4645 4651 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4646 4652 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4647 4653
4648 4654 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4649 4655 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4650 4656 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4651 4657 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4652 4658 tracebacks.
4653 4659
4654 4660 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4655 4661 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4656 4662 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>

4658 4664 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4659 4665
4660 4666 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4661 4667 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4662 4668 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4663 4669 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4664 4670
4665 4671 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4666 4672
4667 4673 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4668 4674 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4669 4675 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4670 4676 for the bug report.

4672 4678 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4673 4679
4674 4680 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4675 4681 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4676 4682 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4677 4683 report.
4678 4684
4679 4685 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4680 4686
4681 4687 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4682 4688 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4683 4689 end).
4684 4690
4685 4691 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4686 4692 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4687 4693 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4688 4694
4689 4695 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4690 4696
4691 4697 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4692 4698 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4693 4699 for the patch.
4694 4700
4695 4701 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4696 4702
4697 4703 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4698 4704 functions.

4703 4709
4704 4710 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4705 4711 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4706 4712 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4707 4713 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4708 4714 private fix.
4709 4715
4710 4716 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4711 4717 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4712 4718 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4713 4719 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4714 4720 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4715 4721 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4716 4722 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4717 4723 fixed for this setup.
4718 4724
4719 4725 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4720 4726 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.

4725 4731
4726 4732 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4727 4733 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4728 4734 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4729 4735 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4730 4736 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4731 4737 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4732 4738 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4733 4739 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4734 4740 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4735 4741
4736 4742 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4737 4743 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4738 4744 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.

4741 4747
4742 4748 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4743 4749
4744 4750 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4745 4751 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4746 4752 pickle-related issue in @run).
4747 4753
4748 4754 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4749 4755
4750 4756 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4751 4757 the autocall option at runtime.
4752 4758 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4753 4759 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4754 4760 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4755 4761 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4756 4762 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4757 4763 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4758 4764 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4759 4765 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4760 4766 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4761 4767 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4762 4768 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4763 4769 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4764 4770 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4765 4771 pickles to save something sensible.
4766 4772
4767 4773 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4768 4774
4769 4775 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4770 4776 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4771 4777 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4772 4778
4773 4779 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4774 4780
4775 4781 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4776 4782 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4777 4783
4778 4784 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4779 4785
4780 4786 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4781 4787 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4782 4788 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4783 4789 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4784 4790
4785 4791 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4786 4792
4787 4793 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4788 4794 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4789 4795 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4790 4796 array is non-contiguous.
4791 4797
4792 4798 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4793 4799
4794 4800 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4795 4801 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4796 4802 executed).
4797 4803 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4798 4804 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4799 4805 output.
4800 4806 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4801 4807 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4802 4808 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4803 4809 changing.
4804 4810
4805 4811 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4806 4812
4807 4813 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4808 4814
4809 4815 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4810 4816 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4811 4817 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4812 4818 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4813 4819 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4814 4820 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4815 4821 like a normal command-line.
4816 4822
4817 4823 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4818 4824 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4819 4825 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4820 4826 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4821 4827
4822 4828 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4823 4829
4824 4830 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4825 4831 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4826 4832 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4827 4833 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4828 4834
4829 4835 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4830 4836
4831 4837 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4832 4838 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4833 4839 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4834 4840 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4835 4841 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4836 4842 think it's worth doing.

4840 4846 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4841 4847
4842 4848 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4843 4849 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4844 4850
4845 4851 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4846 4852 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4847 4853 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4848 4854 also work ok.
4849 4855
4850 4856 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4851 4857
4852 4858 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4853 4859
4854 4860 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4855 4861
4856 4862 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4857 4863 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4858 4864 of gnuplot data files.
4859 4865
4860 4866 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4861 4867
4862 4868 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4863 4869 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4864 4870
4865 4871 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4866 4872
4867 4873 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4868 4874 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4869 4875 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4870 4876 for pointing this out.
4871 4877
4872 4878 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4873 4879
4874 4880 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4875 4881
4876 4882 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4877 4883 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4878 4884 Interactive.
4879 4885
4880 4886 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4881 4887 being imported from iplib.
4882 4888
4883 4889 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4884 4890 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4885 4891 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4886 4892 common name.
4887 4893
4888 4894 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4889 4895 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4890 4896
4891 4897 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4892 4898 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4893 4899
4894 4900 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4895 4901 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4896 4902 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4897 4903 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4898 4904 docstrings).
4899 4905
4900 4906 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4901 4907
4902 4908 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4903 4909 (inconsistent with options).
4904 4910
4905 4911 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4906 4912 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4907 4913 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4908 4914 eps output.
4909 4915
4910 4916 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4911 4917
4912 4918 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4913 4919 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4914 4920 Pinard.
4915 4921
4916 4922 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4917 4923
4918 4924 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4919 4925 history file for new users.
4920 4926 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4921 4927 user running in the .ipython dir.
4922 4928 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4923 4929 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4924 4930 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4925 4931
4926 4932 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4927 4933 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4928 4934 consistently.
4929 4935
4930 4936 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4931 4937 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4932 4938 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4933 4939 libraries I don't have access to.
4934 4940
4935 4941 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4936 4942 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4937 4943 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4938 4944 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4939 4945 report.
4940 4946
4941 4947 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4942 4948
4943 4949 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4944 4950 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4945 4951 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4946 4952 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4947 4953
4948 4954 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4949 4955
4950 4956 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4951 4957 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4952 4958 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4953 4959 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4954 4960 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4955 4961 instance has been created.
4956 4962
4957 4963 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4958 4964 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4959 4965 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4960 4966 dict by hand.
4961 4967
4962 4968 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4963 4969
4964 4970 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4965 4971 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4966 4972 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4967 4973 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4968 4974 broken.
4969 4975
4970 4976 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4971 4977 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4972 4978 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4973 4979 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4974 4980
4975 4981 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4976 4982 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4977 4983 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4978 4984 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4979 4985 is a valid one.
4980 4986
4981 4987 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4982 4988 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4983 4989 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4984 4990
4985 4991 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4986 4992 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4987 4993 simply leftover junk.
4988 4994
4989 4995 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4990 4996
4991 4997 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4992 4998 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4993 4999 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4994 5000
4995 5001 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4996 5002 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4997 5003 exceptions.
4998 5004
4999 5005 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5000 5006
5001 5007 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
5002 5008 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
5003 5009 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
5004 5010 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
5005 5011 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
5006 5012
5007 5013 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
5008 5014 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
5009 5015
5010 5016 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
5011 5017 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
5012 5018 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
5013 5019 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
5014 5020 problem mentioned below.
5015 5021
5016 5022 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5017 5023
5018 5024 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
5019 5025 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
5020 5026
5021 5027 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
5022 5028 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
5023 5029 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
5024 5030 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
5025 5031 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
5026 5032
5027 5033 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
5028 5034 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
5029 5035 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
5030 5036 actual function names.
5031 5037
5032 5038 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
5033 5039 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
5034 5040 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
5035 5041 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
5036 5042 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
5037 5043 really be only function/method names.
5038 5044
5039 5045 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5040 5046
5041 5047 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
5042 5048 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
5043 5049 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
5044 5050
5045 5051 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5046 5052
5047 5053 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
5048 5054 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
5049 5055 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
5050 5056
5051 5057 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
5052 5058 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
5053 5059
5054 5060 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
5055 5061 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
5056 5062 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
5057 5063
5058 5064 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
5059 5065 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
5060 5066 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
5061 5067
5062 5068 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
5063 5069 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
5064 5070 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
5065 5071
5066 5072 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5067 5073
5068 5074 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
5069 5075 Gnuplot.File objects.
5070 5076
5071 5077 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5072 5078
5073 5079 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
5074 5080 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
5075 5081 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().

5079 5085 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
5080 5086 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
5081 5087
5082 5088 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
5083 5089 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
5084 5090
5085 5091 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
5086 5092 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
5087 5093
5088 5094 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5089 5095
5090 5096 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
5091 5097 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
5092 5098 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
5093 5099 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
5094 5100
5095 5101 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5096 5102
5097 5103 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
5098 5104 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
5099 5105 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
5100 5106
5101 5107 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5102 5108
5103 5109 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
5104 5110 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
5105 5111 workaround).
5106 5112
5107 5113 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5108 5114
5109 5115 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
5110 5116 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
5111 5117
5112 5118 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5113 5119
5114 5120 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
5115 5121 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
5116 5122
5117 5123 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
5118 5124 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
5119 5125 .strip() is called on it.
5120 5126
5121 5127
5122 5128 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5123 5129
5124 5130 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
5125 5131 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
5126 5132 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
5127 5133
5128 5134 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
5129 5135 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
5130 5136
5131 5137 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
5132 5138 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
5133 5139 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
5134 5140
5135 5141 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5136 5142
5137 5143 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
5138 5144 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
5139 5145 __main__.
5140 5146
5141 5147 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
5142 5148 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
5143 5149
5144 5150 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
5145 5151 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
5146 5152 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
5147 5153 Mathematica behaves.
5148 5154
5149 5155 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5150 5156
5151 5157 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
5152 5158 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
5153 5159
5154 5160 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
5155 5161 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
5156 5162 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
5157 5163
5158 5164 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
5159 5165 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
5160 5166
5161 5167 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5162 5168
5163 5169 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
5164 5170 underflow problems in Numeric.
5165 5171 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
5166 5172 for exact integer powers of 2.
5167 5173
5168 5174 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
5169 5175 properly.
5170 5176
5171 5177 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5172 5178
5173 5179 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
5174 5180 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
5175 5181
5176 5182 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5177 5183
5178 5184 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
5179 5185 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
5180 5186
5181 5187 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5182 5188
5183 5189 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
5184 5190 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
5185 5191 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
5186 5192 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
5187 5193 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
5188 5194 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
5189 5195 times).
5190 5196
5191 5197 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
5192 5198 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
5193 5199 been redirected by user this gets honored.
5194 5200
5195 5201 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5196 5202
5197 5203 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
5198 5204 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
5199 5205 embedded code.
5200 5206
5201 5207 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
5202 5208 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
5203 5209 PYTHONSTARTUP.
5204 5210
5205 5211 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
5206 5212 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
5207 5213 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
5208 5214 less special-casing to remember.
5209 5215
5210 5216 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5211 5217
5212 5218 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
5213 5219 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
5214 5220 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
5215 5221 arg is not a defined object.
5216 5222 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
5217 5223 a Mike Heeter idea.
5218 5224
5219 5225 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
5220 5226 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
5221 5227 interactive use.
5222 5228
5223 5229 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
5224 5230 filenames.
5225 5231
5226 5232 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5227 5233
5228 5234 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
5229 5235 initialization via another struct.
5230 5236
5231 5237 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
5232 5238 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
5233 5239
5234 5240 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5235 5241
5236 5242 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
5237 5243 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
5238 5244 too big).
5239 5245
5240 5246 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5241 5247
5242 5248 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
5243 5249 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
5244 5250 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
5245 5251 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
5246 5252
5247 5253 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5248 5254
5249 5255 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
5250 5256 macros having broken.
5251 5257
5252 5258 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5253 5259
5254 5260 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
5255 5261 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
5256 5262 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
5257 5263 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
5258 5264 not to lists.
5259 5265
5260 5266 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5261 5267
5262 5268 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
5263 5269 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
5264 5270 classes needs some serious overhauling.
5265 5271
5266 5272 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
5267 5273 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
5268 5274
5269 5275 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
5270 5276 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
5271 5277 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
5272 5278
5273 5279 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
5274 5280 triple-quoted strings.
5275 5281
5276 5282 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
5277 5283 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
5278 5284 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
5279 5285 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
5280 5286 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
5281 5287 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
5282 5288
5283 5289 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5284 5290
5285 5291 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
5286 5292 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
5287 5293 ultraTB).
5288 5294
5289 5295 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5290 5296
5291 5297 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5292 5298 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
5293 5299 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
5294 5300 user's 'g' variables).
5295 5301
5296 5302 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
5297 5303 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
5298 5304 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
5299 5305 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
5300 5306 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
5301 5307 macros.
5302 5308
5303 5309 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5304 5310
5305 5311 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
5306 5312 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
5307 5313
5308 5314 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
5309 5315 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
5310 5316 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
5311 5317
5312 5318 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5313 5319
5314 5320 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
5315 5321 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
5316 5322 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
5317 5323 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
5318 5324 aliases.
5319 5325
5320 5326 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5321 5327
5322 5328 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
5323 5329 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
5324 5330 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
5325 5331 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
5326 5332
5327 5333 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5328 5334
5329 5335 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
5330 5336 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
5331 5337 user-defined functions overrode them.
5332 5338
5333 5339 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5334 5340
5335 5341 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
5336 5342 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
5337 5343
5338 5344 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5339 5345
5340 5346 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
5341 5347 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
5342 5348 IPython.
5343 5349
5344 5350 * Released 0.2.13
5345 5351
5346 5352 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
5347 5353 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
5348 5354 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
5349 5355 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
5350 5356
5351 5357 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5352 5358
5353 5359 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
5354 5360 magic properly formatted for screen.
5355 5361
5356 5362 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
5357 5363 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
5358 5364
5359 5365 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
5360 5366 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
5361 5367 etc.)
5362 5368
5363 5369 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5364 5370
5365 5371 * Released 0.2.12
5366 5372
5367 5373 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5368 5374
5369 5375 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
5370 5376 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
5371 5377 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
5372 5378 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
5373 5379 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
5374 5380 an alias to @run -i.
5375 5381
5376 5382 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
5377 5383 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
5378 5384
5379 5385 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
5380 5386
5381 5387 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
5382 5388 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
5383 5389 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
5384 5390
5385 5391 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
5386 5392 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
5387 5393 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
5388 5394 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
5389 5395 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
5390 5396 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
5391 5397 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
5392 5398
5393 5399 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5394 5400
5395 5401 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
5396 5402 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
5397 5403 printed).
5398 5404
5399 5405 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
5400 5406 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
5401 5407 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
5402 5408
5403 5409 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
5404 5410 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
5405 5411
5406 5412 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
5407 5413 handle magic commands in them.
5408 5414 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
5409 5415 ~/mylog' now works.
5410 5416
5411 5417 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
5412 5418 '/' would be completed as magic names.
5413 5419
5414 5420 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5415 5421
5416 5422 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
5417 5423 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
5418 5424
5419 5425 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
5420 5426 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
5421 5427 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
5422 5428 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
5423 5429 variables are in the context of an exception.
5424 5430 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
5425 5431 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
5426 5432
5427 5433 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
5428 5434 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
5429 5435
5430 5436 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5431 5437
5432 5438 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
5433 5439 magics can parse options easier.
5434 5440 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
5435 5441 suggested by Chris Hart.
5436 5442 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
5437 5443 directory actually is in history.
5438 5444
5439 5445 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
5440 5446 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
5441 5447 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
5442 5448
5443 5449 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
5444 5450 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
5445 5451 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
5446 5452 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
5447 5453
5448 5454 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5449 5455
5450 5456 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
5451 5457 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
5452 5458
5453 5459 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
5454 5460 text (was a bug).
5455 5461
5456 5462 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5457 5463
5458 5464 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
5459 5465 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
5460 5466 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
5461 5467
5462 5468 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5463 5469
5464 5470 * Released 0.2.10
5465 5471
5466 5472 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
5467 5473
5468 5474 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
5469 5475 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
5470 5476
5471 5477 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5472 5478
5473 5479 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
5474 5480 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
5475 5481
5476 5482 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5477 5483
5478 5484 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
5479 5485 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
5480 5486 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
5481 5487 __init__.py)
5482 5488
5483 5489 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5484 5490
5485 5491 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
5486 5492 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
5487 5493 test for being inside IPython.
5488 5494
5489 5495 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
5490 5496 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
5491 5497 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
5492 5498 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
5493 5499
5494 5500 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5495 5501
5496 5502 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
5497 5503 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
5498 5504 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
5499 5505
5500 5506 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
5501 5507 embedding example to standard user directory for
5502 5508 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
5503 5509
5504 5510 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
5505 5511 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
5506 5512 hidden global).
5507 5513
5508 5514 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
5509 5515 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
5510 5516 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
5511 5517 case.
5512 5518
5513 5519 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5514 5520
5515 5521 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
5516 5522 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
5517 5523 start.
5518 5524
5519 5525 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
5520 5526 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
5521 5527 Numeric or math.
5522 5528
5523 5529 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
5524 5530 provided profiles. Now we have:
5525 5531 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
5526 5532 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
5527 5533 -physics -> same as before
5528 5534
5529 5535 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
5530 5536 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
5531 5537 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
5532 5538 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
5533 5539 string adds).
5534 5540
5535 5541 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
5536 5542 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
5537 5543 line with the gnuplot code).
5538 5544
5539 5545 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5540 5546
5541 5547 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
5542 5548 all included files change.
5543 5549
5544 5550 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
5545 5551 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
5546 5552
5547 5553 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
5548 5554 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
5549 5555 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
5550 5556
5551 5557 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
5552 5558 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
5553 5559
5554 5560 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
5555 5561 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
5556 5562
5557 5563 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
5558 5564 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
5559 5565 now accessible.
5560 5566
5561 5567 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
5562 5568 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
5563 5569 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
5564 5570 removed.
5565 5571 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
5566 5572 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
5567 5573 don't crash.
5568 5574 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
5569 5575 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
5570 5576 remains available.
5571 5577
5572 5578 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5573 5579
5574 5580 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
5575 5581
5576 5582 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5577 5583
5578 5584 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
5579 5585 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
5580 5586 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
5581 5587 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
5582 5588
5583 5589 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5584 5590
5585 5591 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
5586 5592 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
5587 5593 sync with the output counter.
5588 5594
5589 5595 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
5590 5596 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
5591 5597
5592 5598 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5593 5599
5594 5600 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
5595 5601 readline, fix it back after each call.
5596 5602
5597 5603 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
5598 5604 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
5599 5605 traceback references are properly deleted.
5600 5606
5601 5607 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
5602 5608 improve printing when pprint is in use.
5603 5609
5604 5610 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5605 5611
5606 5612 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
5607 5613 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
5608 5614 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
5609 5615 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
5610 5616 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
5611 5617 to catch SystemExit).
5612 5618
5613 5619 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5614 5620 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5615 5621 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5616 5622 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5617 5623 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5618 5624 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5619 5625
5620 5626 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5621 5627
5622 5628 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5623 5629 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5624 5630 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5625 5631
5626 5632 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5627 5633 configurable (it should have always been so).
5628 5634
5629 5635 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5630 5636
5631 5637 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5632 5638 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5633 5639 done in a more elegant way.
5634 5640
5635 5641 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5636 5642
5637 5643 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5638 5644 win9x also.
5639 5645
5640 5646 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5641 5647
5642 5648 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5643 5649 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5644 5650
5645 5651 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5646 5652
5647 5653 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5648 5654
5649 5655 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5650 5656 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5651 5657
5652 5658 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5653 5659 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5654 5660
5655 5661 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5656 5662 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5657 5663
5658 5664 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5659 5665 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5660 5666
5661 5667 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5662 5668
5663 5669 * Released 0.2.8
5664 5670
5665 5671 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5666 5672 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5667 5673 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5668 5674 on' so that the first tab completes.
5669 5675 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5670 5676 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5671 5677
5672 5678 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5673 5679 installation.
5674 5680
5675 5681 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5676 5682 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5677 5683
5678 5684 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5679 5685
5680 5686 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5681 5687 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5682 5688 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5683 5689
5684 5690 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5685 5691 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5686 5692
5687 5693 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5688 5694 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5689 5695 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5690 5696 suggestion.
5691 5697
5692 5698 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5693 5699 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5694 5700 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5695 5701
5696 5702 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5697 5703 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5698 5704
5699 5705 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5700 5706
5701 5707 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5702 5708 which properly handles things for windows users.
5703 5709
5704 5710 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5705 5711
5706 5712 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5707 5713 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5708 5714 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5709 5715 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5710 5716 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5711 5717
5712 5718 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5713 5719
5714 5720 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5715 5721
5716 5722 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5717 5723 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5718 5724
5719 5725 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5720 5726
5721 5727 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5722 5728 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5723 5729 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5724 5730 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5725 5731 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5726 5732 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5727 5733
5728 5734 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5729 5735
5730 5736 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5731 5737 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5732 5738
5733 5739 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5734 5740 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5735 5741 cache at 20 values.
5736 5742
5737 5743 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5738 5744 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5739 5745 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5740 5746 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5741 5747
5742 5748 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5743 5749 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5744 5750 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5745 5751 'file show').
5746 5752
5747 5753 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5748 5754 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5749 5755
5750 5756 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5751 5757 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5752 5758 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5753 5759
5754 5760 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5755 5761 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5756 5762 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5757 5763 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5758 5764
5759 5765 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5760 5766 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5761 5767 the prompt strings.
5762 5768
5763 5769 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5764 5770
5765 5771 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5766 5772 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5767 5773
5768 5774 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5769 5775 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5770 5776 either globally or at each call.
5771 5777
5772 5778 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5773 5779 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5774 5780 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5775 5781 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5776 5782
5777 5783 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5778 5784
5779 5785 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5780 5786 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5781 5787
5782 5788 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5783 5789
5784 5790 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5785 5791 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5786 5792 learning some lisp...
5787 5793
5788 5794 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5789 5795
5790 5796 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5791 5797 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5792 5798 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5793 5799 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5794 5800
5795 5801 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5796 5802 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5797 5803 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5798 5804
5799 5805 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5800 5806
5801 5807 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5802 5808 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5803 5809 control to emacs users.
5804 5810
5805 5811 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5806 5812 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5807 5813 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5808 5814 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5809 5815 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5810 5816 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5811 5817
5812 5818 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5813 5819
5814 5820 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5815 5821
5816 5822 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5817 5823 @logstate magic was created.
5818 5824
5819 5825 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5820 5826 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5821 5827
5822 5828 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5823 5829
5824 5830 * Released 0.2.6.
5825 5831
5826 5832 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5827 5833 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5828 5834
5829 5835 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5830 5836 SciPy.
5831 5837
5832 5838 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5833 5839 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5834 5840 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5835 5841 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5836 5842 the section on embedding and the example file.
5837 5843
5838 5844 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5839 5845 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5840 5846 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5841 5847
5842 5848 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5843 5849 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5844 5850 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5845 5851
5846 5852 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5847 5853 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5848 5854 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5849 5855 for this to work.
5850 5856
5851 5857 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5852 5858
5853 5859 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5854 5860 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5855 5861 well inside Emacs buffers.
5856 5862 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5857 5863 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5858 5864 same bug in iplib.
5859 5865
5860 5866 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5861 5867
5862 5868 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5863 5869 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5864 5870
5865 5871 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5866 5872 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5867 5873 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5868 5874
5869 5875 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5870 5876 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5871 5877 display is done.
5872 5878
5873 5879 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5874 5880 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5875 5881
5876 5882 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5877 5883 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5878 5884 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5879 5885 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5880 5886 like in Octave.
5881 5887
5882 5888 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5883 5889 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5884 5890
5885 5891 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5886 5892
5887 5893 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5888 5894 whole file a little.
5889 5895
5890 5896 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5891 5897 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5892 5898 end-user distro.
5893 5899
5894 5900 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5895 5901 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5896 5902 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5897 5903
5898 5904 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5899 5905 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5900 5906
5901 5907 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5902 5908 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5903 5909 for @file.
5904 5910
5905 5911 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5906 5912 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5907 5913 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5908 5914 the code a bit easier.
5909 5915
5910 5916 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5911 5917 information to crash reports.
5912 5918
5913 5919 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5914 5920
5915 5921 * Released 0.2.5.
5916 5922
5917 5923 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5918 5924
5919 5925 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5920 5926 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5921 5927 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5922 5928
5923 5929 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5924 5930
5925 5931 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5926 5932 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5927 5933 have thigs work as expected.
5928 5934
5929 5935 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5930 5936 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5931 5937 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5932 5938 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5933 5939 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5934 5940
5935 5941 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5936 5942 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5937 5943
5938 5944 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5939 5945
5940 5946 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5941 5947 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5942 5948
5943 5949 * README and manual updates.
5944 5950
5945 5951 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5946 5952 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5947 5953
5948 5954 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5949 5955 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5950 5956
5951 5957 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5952 5958 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5953 5959 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5954 5960 extension-less files.
5955 5961
5956 5962 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5957 5963 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5958 5964 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5959 5965
5960 5966 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5961 5967 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5962 5968
5963 5969 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5964 5970 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5965 5971 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5966 5972 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5967 5973 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5968 5974 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5969 5975 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5970 5976 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5971 5977 least make manually a shortcut.
5972 5978
5973 5979 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5974 5980 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5975 5981 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5976 5982 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5977 5983 runtime, with @colors.
5978 5984 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5979 5985 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5980 5986
5981 5987 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5982 5988
5983 5989 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5984 5990 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5985 5991 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5986 5992 read the startup info.
5987 5993
5988 5994 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5989 5995
5990 5996 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5991 5997 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5992 5998 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5993 5999 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5994 6000 type the better off we are.
5995 6001 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5996 6002 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5997 6003 before.
5998 6004
5999 6005 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6000 6006
6001 6007 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
6002 6008 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
6003 6009 this later.
6004 6010
6005 6011 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6006 6012
6007 6013 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
6008 6014 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
6009 6015 (they can be triggered by imported code).
6010 6016
6011 6017 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6012 6018
6013 6019 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
6014 6020 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
6015 6021 spitting out only offset information as before.
6016 6022 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
6017 6023 programs with command line args inside IPython.
6018 6024
6019 6025 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6020 6026
6021 6027 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
6022 6028 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
6023 6029 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
6024 6030 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
6025 6031 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
6026 6032 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
6027 6033 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
6028 6034 macros.
6029 6035
6030 6036 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6031 6037
6032 6038 * Released 0.2.4.
6033 6039
6034 6040 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
6035 6041 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
6036 6042 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
6037 6043 re-execution.
6038 6044
6039 6045 * Updated manual with recent changes.
6040 6046
6041 6047 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
6042 6048 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
6043 6049 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
6044 6050 documented, of course :)
6045 6051 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
6046 6052 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
6047 6053 __call__ info for callable object instances.
6048 6054
6049 6055 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6050 6056
6051 6057 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
6052 6058 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
6053 6059 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
6054 6060
6055 6061 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6056 6062
6057 6063 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
6058 6064 so I wanted an updated release).
6059 6065
6060 6066 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6061 6067
6062 6068 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
6063 6069 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
6064 6070 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
6065 6071 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
6066 6072 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
6067 6073
6068 6074 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6069 6075
6070 6076 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
6071 6077 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
6072 6078
6073 6079 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6074 6080
6075 6081 * Released 0.2.2.
6076 6082
6077 6083 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
6078 6084 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
6079 6085 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
6080 6086 versions.
6081 6087
6082 6088 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
6083 6089 (MayaVi author).
6084 6090
6085 6091 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6086 6092
6087 6093 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
6088 6094 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
6089 6095 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
6090 6096 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
6091 6097 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
6092 6098
6093 6099 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
6094 6100 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
6095 6101
6096 6102 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6097 6103
6098 6104 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
6099 6105 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
6100 6106 nice, full-blown manual.
6101 6107
6102 6108 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
6103 6109 trivially simple for end-users.
6104 6110
6105 6111 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6106 6112
6107 6113 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
6108 6114 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
6109 6115
6110 6116 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
6111 6117 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
6112 6118
6113 6119 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6114 6120
6115 6121 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
6116 6122 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
6117 6123 people to later upgrade versions.
6118 6124
6119 6125 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
6120 6126 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
6121 6127 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
6122 6128 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
6123 6129 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
6124 6130 SystemExit).
6125 6131
6126 6132 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
6127 6133 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
6128 6134 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
6129 6135 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
6130 6136 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
6131 6137
6132 6138 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
6133 6139 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
6134 6140 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
6135 6141
6136 6142 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6137 6143
6138 6144 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
6139 6145 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
6140 6146
6141 6147 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
6142 6148 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
6143 6149 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
6144 6150 html docs out of it will be found).
6145 6151
6146 6152 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
6147 6153
6148 6154 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
6149 6155 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
6150 6156
6151 6157 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
6152 6158
6153 6159 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
6154 6160 visiting any directory in _dh.
6155 6161
6156 6162 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
6157 6163 it out with numbers.
6158 6164
6159 6165 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6160 6166
6161 6167 * Released 0.1.22
6162 6168
6163 6169 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
6164 6170 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
6165 6171
6166 6172 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
6167 6173 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
6168 6174 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
6169 6175 screen the necessary mail command.
6170 6176
6171 6177 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
6172 6178 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
6173 6179 guess we should at least give them something readable.
6174 6180
6175 6181 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6176 6182
6177 6183 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
6178 6184 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
6179 6185 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
6180 6186 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
6181 6187 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
6182 6188 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
6183 6189 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
6184 6190 its name).
6185 6191
6186 6192 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
6187 6193 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
6188 6194 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
6189 6195 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.

6191 6197 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6192 6198
6193 6199 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
6194 6200 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
6195 6201
6196 6202 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
6197 6203 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
6198 6204
6199 6205 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
6200 6206 completion of @-starting lines.
6201 6207
6202 6208 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
6203 6209 info that other files can read from.
6204 6210
6205 6211 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
6206 6212 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
6207 6213 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
6208 6214 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
6209 6215 restores produce less errors.
6210 6216
6211 6217 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
6212 6218 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
6213 6219 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
6214 6220 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
6215 6221 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
6216 6222
6217 6223 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
6218 6224 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
6219 6225 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
6220 6226 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
6221 6227 with this, finally...
6222 6228
6223 6229 * Small documentation updates.
6224 6230
6225 6231 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
6226 6232 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
6227 6233 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
6228 6234
6229 6235 * File renaming:
6230 6236 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
6231 6237 ipplib --> iplib
6232 6238 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
6233 6239
6234 6240 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
6235 6241 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
6236 6242 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
6237 6243
6238 6244 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
6239 6245 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
6240 6246 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
6241 6247
6242 6248 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6243 6249
6244 6250 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
6245 6251 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
6246 6252 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
6247 6253 the ad-hoc mess we had).
6248 6254
6249 6255 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
6250 6256 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
6251 6257 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
6252 6258
6253 6259 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
6254 6260 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
6255 6261 road.
6256 6262
6257 6263 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
6258 6264 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
6259 6265 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
6260 6266 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
6261 6267
6262 6268 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6263 6269
6264 6270 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
6265 6271 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
6266 6272 file accordingly.
6267 6273
6268 6274 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
6269 6275 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
6270 6276 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
6271 6277 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
6272 6278 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
6273 6279 separators and proper padding and justification.
6274 6280
6275 6281 * Released 0.1.20
6276 6282
6277 6283 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
6278 6284 copy operation was missing).
6279 6285
6280 6286 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
6281 6287 its output is always quite long.
6282 6288
6283 6289 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
6284 6290 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
6285 6291 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
6286 6292 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
6287 6293
6288 6294 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
6289 6295 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
6290 6296 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
6291 6297 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
6292 6298
6293 6299 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6294 6300
6295 6301 * Released 0.1.19
6296 6302
6297 6303 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
6298 6304 easier to copy/paste code this way.
6299 6305
6300 6306 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
6301 6307 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
6302 6308 comment on 'macros').
6303 6309
6304 6310 * Small fixes and doc updates.
6305 6311
6306 6312 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
6307 6313 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
6308 6314 statements and takes parameters.
6309 6315
6310 6316 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6311 6317
6312 6318 * Version 0.1.18 released.
6313 6319
6314 6320 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
6315 6321
6316 6322 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
6317 6323 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
6318 6324
6319 6325 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
6320 6326 ipythonrc-* samples.
6321 6327
6322 6328 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
6323 6329 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
6324 6330
6325 6331 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
6326 6332 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
6327 6333
6328 6334 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6329 6335
6330 6336 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
6331 6337 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
6332 6338 convention.
6333 6339
6334 6340 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
6335 6341 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
6336 6342
6337 6343 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
6338 6344
6339 6345 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
6340 6346 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
6341 6347
6342 6348 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
6343 6349 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
6344 6350 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
6345 6351 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
6346 6352 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
6347 6353 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
6348 6354 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
6349 6355 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
6350 6356 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
6351 6357 works.
6352 6358
6353 6359 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6354 6360
6355 6361 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
6356 6362 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
6357 6363 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
6358 6364 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
6359 6365 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
6360 6366 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
6361 6367 all the editors, less does that.
6362 6368
6363 6369 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
6364 6370
6365 6371 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
6366 6372 crash IPython.
6367 6373
6368 6374 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6369 6375
6370 6376 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
6371 6377
6372 6378 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
6373 6379 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
6374 6380 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
6375 6381 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
6376 6382 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
6377 6383 work in _ofind.
6378 6384
6379 6385 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
6380 6386 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
6381 6387 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
6382 6388 (famous last words).
6383 6389
6384 6390 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
6385 6391 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
6386 6392 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
6387 6393 windows).
6388 6394
6389 6395 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
6390 6396 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
6391 6397
6392 6398 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
6393 6399 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
6394 6400 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
6395 6401 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
6396 6402
6397 6403 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
6398 6404 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
6399 6405 licences and announce it.
6400 6406
6401 6407 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
6402 6408 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
6403 6409 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
6404 6410 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
6405 6411
6406 6412 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6407 6413
6408 6414 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
6409 6415 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
6410 6416 lists.
6411 6417
6412 6418 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
6413 6419 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
6414 6420 are ok.
6415 6421
6416 6422 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
6417 6423 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
6418 6424
6419 6425 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
6420 6426 this to Nathan.
6421 6427
6422 6428 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
6423 6429
6424 6430 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
6425 6431 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
6426 6432 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
6427 6433
6428 6434 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
6429 6435 accepted). Cleaner.
6430 6436
6431 6437 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
6432 6438 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
6433 6439 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
6434 6440 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
6435 6441 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
6436 6442
6437 6443 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
6438 6444
6439 6445 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
6440 6446 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
6441 6447 history after a log replay.
6442 6448
6443 6449 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
6444 6450 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
6445 6451 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
6446 6452 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
6447 6453 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
6448 6454 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
6449 6455
6450 6456 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
6451 6457 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
6452 6458 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
6453 6459 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
6454 6460 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
6455 6461
6456 6462 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
6457 6463
6458 6464 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
6459 6465 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
6460 6466 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
6461 6467 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
6462 6468 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
6463 6469 one: cache_size.
6464 6470
6465 6471 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
6466 6472 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
6467 6473 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
6468 6474 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
6469 6475
6470 6476 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
6471 6477 @ or not).
6472 6478
6473 6479 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
6474 6480 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
6475 6481 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
6476 6482 about licensing).
6477 6483
6478 6484 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6479 6485
6480 6486 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
6481 6487 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
6482 6488
6483 6489 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
6484 6490 screen size for page() operations.
6485 6491
6486 6492 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
6487 6493 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
6488 6494 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
6489 6495 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
6490 6496
6491 6497 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
6492 6498 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
6493 6499 option name tables are clearer.
6494 6500
6495 6501 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
6496 6502 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
6497 6503 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
6498 6504 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
6499 6505 was also changed a little to align better.
6500 6506
6501 6507 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
6502 6508 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
6503 6509
6504 6510 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
6505 6511 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
6506 6512 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
6507 6513
6508 6514 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
6509 6515 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
6510 6516 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
6511 6517 he needs it.
6512 6518
6513 6519 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
6514 6520
6515 6521 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
6516 6522 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
6517 6523 warning on it.
6518 6524
6519 6525 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
6520 6526 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
6521 6527 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
6522 6528 was too long).
6523 6529
6524 6530 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
6525 6531 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
6526 6532 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
6527 6533
6528 6534 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
6529 6535 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
6530 6536 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
6531 6537 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
6532 6538 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
6533 6539 function for the same task.
6534 6540
6535 6541 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6536 6542
6537 6543 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
6538 6544
6539 6545 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
6540 6546 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
6541 6547 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
6542 6548
6543 6549 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
6544 6550 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
6545 6551 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
6546 6552
6547 6553 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
6548 6554 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
6549 6555 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
6550 6556
6551 6557 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6552 6558
6553 6559 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
6554 6560
6555 6561 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
6556 6562 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
6557 6563 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
6558 6564
6559 6565 * Made prompt separators configurable.
6560 6566
6561 6567 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6562 6568
6563 6569 * Small bugfixes in many places.
6564 6570
6565 6571 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
6566 6572 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
6567 6573 maintain.
6568 6574
6569 6575 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
6570 6576 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
6571 6577 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
6572 6578 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
6573 6579 compiled and startup is much faster.
6574 6580
6575 6581 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
6576 6582 while without messing too much more with the code.
6577 6583
6578 6584 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6579 6585
6580 6586 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
6581 6587
6582 6588 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
6583 6589 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
6584 6590 *a lot* easier in some cases.
6585 6591
6586 6592 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
6587 6593 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
6588 6594
6589 6595 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
6590 6596 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
6591 6597 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
6592 6598 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
6593 6599 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
6594 6600 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
6595 6601
6596 6602 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
6597 6603 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
6598 6604
6599 6605 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
6600 6606 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
6601 6607
6602 6608 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
6603 6609 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
6604 6610 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
6605 6611 excessive.
6606 6612
6607 6613 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
6608 6614 types (only first word was displayed).
6609 6615
6610 6616 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6611 6617
6612 6618 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6613 6619
6614 6620 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6615 6621 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6616 6622 travel along many directories.
6617 6623
6618 6624 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6619 6625 arguments with default values.
6620 6626
6621 6627 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6622 6628
6623 6629 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6624 6630 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6625 6631
6626 6632 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6627 6633
6628 6634 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6629 6635 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6630 6636 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6631 6637
6632 6638 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6633 6639
6634 6640 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6635 6641 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6636 6642 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6637 6643 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6638 6644 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6639 6645 purposes.
6640 6646
6641 6647 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6642 6648 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6643 6649 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6644 6650 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6645 6651 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6646 6652 one can simply say
6647 6653 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6648 6654 or even
6649 6655 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6650 6656
6651 6657 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6652 6658 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6653 6659 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6654 6660
6655 6661 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6656 6662 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6657 6663 they were defined in
6658 6664
6659 6665 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6660 6666
6661 6667 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6662 6668 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6663 6669 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6664 6670 these to show the same information.
6665 6671
6666 6672 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6667 6673
6668 6674 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6669 6675 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6670 6676 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6671 6677 backtracked on the whole class!)
6672 6678
6673 6679 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6674 6680 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6675 6681 everything works as before).
6676 6682
6677 6683 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6678 6684 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6679 6685 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6680 6686 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6681 6687
6682 6688 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6683 6689
6684 6690 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6685 6691
6686 6692 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6687 6693 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6688 6694
6689 6695 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6690 6696 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6691 6697 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6692 6698 this later.
6693 6699
6694 6700 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6695 6701
6696 6702 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6697 6703 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6698 6704 line option.
6699 6705
6700 6706 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6701 6707 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6702 6708 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6703 6709 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6704 6710 didn't return a result).
6705 6711
6706 6712 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6707 6713
6708 6714 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6709 6715
6710 6716 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6711 6717 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6712 6718 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6713 6719 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6714 6720
6715 6721 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6716 6722
6717 6723 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6718 6724
6719 6725 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6720 6726 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6721 6727
6722 6728 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6723 6729 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6724 6730 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6725 6731 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6726 6732 in with the next entry:
6727 6733
6728 6734 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6729 6735 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6730 6736 handling.
6731 6737
6732 6738 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6733 6739 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6734 6740 namespace protection and documentation.
6735 6741
6736 6742 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6737 6743
6738 6744 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6739 6745 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6740 6746
6741 6747 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6742 6748
6743 6749 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6744 6750
6745 6751 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6746 6752
6747 6753 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6748 6754 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6749 6755 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6750 6756 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6751 6757 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6752 6758
6753 6759 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6754 6760 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6755 6761 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6756 6762
6757 6763 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6758 6764
6759 6765 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6760 6766 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6761 6767
6762 6768 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6763 6769
6764 6770 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6765 6771
6766 6772 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6767 6773 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6768 6774 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6769 6775 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6770 6776 ScientificPython.
6771 6777
6772 6778 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6773 6779
6774 6780 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6775 6781 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6776 6782 when called with no args.
6777 6783
6778 6784 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6779 6785 closely.
6780 6786
6781 6787 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6782 6788 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6783 6789 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6784 6790 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6785 6791 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6786 6792
6787 6793 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6788 6794
6789 6795 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6790 6796 customizations there and access them via import.
6791 6797
6792 6798 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6793 6799
6794 6800 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6795 6801
6796 6802 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6797 6803 Nathan and Janko.
6798 6804
6799 6805 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6800 6806
6801 6807 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6802 6808 too long.
6803 6809
6804 6810 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6805 6811
6806 6812 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6807 6813 ?sin and sin?
6808 6814 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6809 6815 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6810 6816 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6811 6817 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6812 6818
6813 6819 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6814 6820
6815 6821 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6816 6822
6817 6823 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6818 6824 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6819 6825
6820 6826 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6821 6827 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6822 6828 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6823 6829 me).
6824 6830
6825 6831 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6826 6832 protected (reasonably).
6827 6833
6828 6834 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6829 6835 note through it (it was too long).
6830 6836
6831 6837 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6832 6838 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6833 6839 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6834 6840 parameters.
6835 6841
6836 6842
6837 6843 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6838 6844
6839 6845 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6840 6846 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6841 6847 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6842 6848
6843 6849 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6844 6850 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6845 6851 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6846 6852
6847 6853 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6848 6854
6849 6855 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6850 6856
6851 6857 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6852 6858
6853 6859 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6854 6860 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6855 6861 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6856 6862 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6857 6863 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6858 6864 break.
6859 6865
6860 6866 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6861 6867 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6862 6868 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6863 6869 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6864 6870 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6865 6871 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6866 6872
6867 6873 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6868 6874 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6869 6875 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6870 6876 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6871 6877 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6872 6878 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6873 6879 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6874 6880 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6875 6881 trick.
6876 6882
6877 6883 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6878 6884 session restoring.
6879 6885
6880 6886 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6881 6887 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6882 6888 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6883 6889 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6884 6890 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6885 6891
6886 6892 * Started ChangeLog.
