Merge branch 'cleanup-old-code' of http://github.com/takowl/ipython into takowl-cleanup-old-code

Various cleanups of old and deprecated modules, this helps keep the
code tidier for the py3k branch and future migration.

Closes gh-180 (pull request).

         This method keeps said reference in a private dict, keyed by the

       otherwise kill their mainloop. This is a bother for IPython

       Normally, IPython sets sys.excepthook to a CrashHandler instance, so if

       regular traceback using our InteractiveTB.  In this fashion, apps which
       call sys.excepthook will generate a regular-looking exception from
       IPython, and the CrashHandler will only be triggered by real IPython

 ultratb.py -- Spice up your tracebacks!
 
 * ColorTB
 I've always found it a bit hard to visually parse tracebacks in Python.  The
 ColorTB class is a solution to that problem.  It colors the different parts of a
 traceback in a manner similar to what you would expect from a syntax-highlighting
 text editor.
 
 Installation instructions for ColorTB:
     import sys,ultratb
     sys.excepthook = ultratb.ColorTB()
 
 * VerboseTB  
 I've also included a port of Ka-Ping Yee's "cgitb.py" that produces all kinds
 of useful info when a traceback occurs.  Ping originally had it spit out HTML
 and intended it for CGI programmers, but why should they have all the fun?  I
 altered it to spit out colored text to the terminal.  It's a bit overwhelming,
 but kind of neat, and maybe useful for long-running programs that you believe
 are bug-free.  If a crash *does* occur in that type of program you want details.
 Give it a shot--you'll love it or you'll hate it.
 
 Note:
 
   The Verbose mode prints the variables currently visible where the exception
   happened (shortening their strings if too long). This can potentially be
   very slow, if you happen to have a huge data structure whose string
   representation is complex to compute. Your computer may appear to freeze for
   a while with cpu usage at 100%. If this occurs, you can cancel the traceback
   with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it more than once).
 
   If you encounter this kind of situation often, you may want to use the
   Verbose_novars mode instead of the regular Verbose, which avoids formatting
   variables (but otherwise includes the information and context given by
   Verbose).
   
 
 Installation instructions for ColorTB:
     import sys,ultratb
     sys.excepthook = ultratb.VerboseTB()
 
 Note:  Much of the code in this module was lifted verbatim from the standard
 library module 'traceback.py' and Ka-Ping Yee's 'cgitb.py'.
 
 * Color schemes
 The colors are defined in the class TBTools through the use of the
 ColorSchemeTable class. Currently the following exist:
 
   - NoColor: allows all of this module to be used in any terminal (the color
   escapes are just dummy blank strings).
 
   - Linux: is meant to look good in a terminal like the Linux console (black
   or very dark background).
 
   - LightBG: similar to Linux but swaps dark/light colors to be more readable
   in light background terminals.
 
 You can implement other color schemes easily, the syntax is fairly
 self-explanatory. Please send back new schemes you develop to the author for
 possible inclusion in future releases.

 """String interpolation for Python (by Ka-Ping Yee, 14 Feb 2000).
 
 This module lets you quickly and conveniently interpolate values into
 strings (in the flavour of Perl or Tcl, but with less extraneous
 punctuation).  You get a bit more power than in the other languages,
 because this module allows subscripting, slicing, function calls,
 attribute lookup, or arbitrary expressions.  Variables and expressions
 are evaluated in the namespace of the caller.
 
 The itpl() function returns the result of interpolating a string, and
 printpl() prints out an interpolated string.  Here are some examples:
 
     from Itpl import printpl
     printpl("Here is a $string.")
     printpl("Here is a $module.member.")
     printpl("Here is an $object.member.")
     printpl("Here is a $functioncall(with, arguments).")
     printpl("Here is an ${arbitrary + expression}.")
     printpl("Here is an $array[3] member.")
     printpl("Here is a $dictionary['member'].")
 
 The filter() function filters a file object so that output through it
 is interpolated.  This lets you produce the illusion that Python knows
 how to do interpolation:
 
     import Itpl
     sys.stdout = Itpl.filter()
     f = "fancy"
     print "Is this not $f?"
     print "Standard output has been replaced with a $sys.stdout object."
     sys.stdout = Itpl.unfilter()
     print "Okay, back $to $normal."
 
 Under the hood, the Itpl class represents a string that knows how to
 interpolate values.  An instance of the class parses the string once
 upon initialization; the evaluation and substitution can then be done
 each time the instance is evaluated with str(instance).  For example:
 
     from Itpl import Itpl
     s = Itpl("Here is $foo.")
     foo = 5
     print str(s)
     foo = "bar"
     print str(s)

 """Pexpect is a Python module for spawning child applications and controlling
 them automatically. Pexpect can be used for automating interactive applications
 such as ssh, ftp, passwd, telnet, etc. It can be used to a automate setup
 scripts for duplicating software package installations on different servers. It
 can be used for automated software testing. Pexpect is in the spirit of Don
 Libes' Expect, but Pexpect is pure Python. Other Expect-like modules for Python
 require TCL and Expect or require C extensions to be compiled. Pexpect does not
 use C, Expect, or TCL extensions. It should work on any platform that supports
 the standard Python pty module. The Pexpect interface focuses on ease of use so
 that simple tasks are easy.
 
 There are two main interfaces to Pexpect -- the function, run() and the class,
 spawn. You can call the run() function to execute a command and return the
 output. This is a handy replacement for os.system().
 
 For example::
 
     pexpect.run('ls -la')
 
 The more powerful interface is the spawn class. You can use this to spawn an
 external child command and then interact with the child by sending lines and
 expecting responses.
 
 For example::
 
     child = pexpect.spawn('scp foo [e-mail]:.')
     child.expect ('Password:')
     child.sendline (mypassword)
 
 This works even for commands that ask for passwords or other input outside of
 the normal stdio streams.

     command_output.
 
     The run() function can often be used instead of creating a spawn instance.
     For example, the following code uses spawn::

     Examples
     ========
 
     Start the apache daemon on the local machine::
 
         from pexpect import *
         run ("/usr/local/apache/bin/apachectl start")
 
     Check in a file using SVN::
 
         from pexpect import *
         run ("svn ci -m 'automatic commit' my_file.py")
 
     Run a command and capture exit status::
 
         from pexpect import *
         (command_output, exitstatus) = run ('ls -l /bin', withexitstatus=1)
 
     Tricky Examples
     ===============
 
     The following will run SSH and execute 'ls -l' on the remote machine. The
     password 'secret' will be sent if the '(?i)password' pattern is ever seen::
 
         run ("ssh [e-mail] 'ls -l'", events={'(?i)password':'secret\\n'})
 
     This will start mencoder to rip a video from DVD. This will also display
     progress ticks every 5 seconds as it runs. For example::
 
         from pexpect import *
         def print_ticks(d):
             print d['event_count'],
         run ("mencoder dvd://1 -o video.avi -oac copy -ovc copy", events={TIMEOUT:print_ticks}, timeout=5)
 
     The 'events' argument should be a dictionary of patterns and responses.
     Whenever one of the patterns is seen in the command out run() will send the
     associated response string. Note that you should put newlines in your
     string if Enter is necessary. The responses may also contain callback
     functions. Any callback is function that takes a dictionary as an argument.
     The dictionary contains all the locals from the run() function, so you can
     access the child spawn object or any other variable defined in run()
     (event_count, child, and extra_args are the most useful). A callback may
     return True to stop the current run process otherwise run() continues until
     the next event. A callback may also return a string which will be sent to
     the child. 'extra_args' is not used by directly run(). It provides a way to
     pass data to a callback function through run() through the locals
     dictionary passed to a callback. """

         """This is the constructor. The command parameter may be a string that
         includes a command and any arguments to the command. For example::
 
             child = pexpect.spawn ('/usr/bin/ftp')
             child = pexpect.spawn ('/usr/bin/ssh [e-mail]')
             child = pexpect.spawn ('ls -latr /tmp')
 
         You may also construct it with a list of arguments like so::
 
             child = pexpect.spawn ('/usr/bin/ftp', [])
             child = pexpect.spawn ('/usr/bin/ssh', ['[e-mail]'])
             child = pexpect.spawn ('ls', ['-latr', '/tmp'])
 
         After this the child application will be created and will be ready to
         talk to. For normal use, see expect() and send() and sendline().
 
         Remember that Pexpect does NOT interpret shell meta characters such as
         redirect, pipe, or wild cards (>, |, or *). This is a common mistake.
         If you want to run a command and pipe it through another command then
         you must also start a shell. For example::
 
             child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash -c "ls -l | grep LOG > log_list.txt"')
             child.expect(pexpect.EOF)
 
         The second form of spawn (where you pass a list of arguments) is useful
         in situations where you wish to spawn a command and pass it its own
         argument list. This can make syntax more clear. For example, the
         following is equivalent to the previous example::
 
             shell_cmd = 'ls -l | grep LOG > log_list.txt'
             child = pexpect.spawn('/bin/bash', ['-c', shell_cmd])
             child.expect(pexpect.EOF)
 
         The maxread attribute sets the read buffer size. This is maximum number
         of bytes that Pexpect will try to read from a TTY at one time. Setting
         the maxread size to 1 will turn off buffering. Setting the maxread
         value higher may help performance in cases where large amounts of
         output are read back from the child. This feature is useful in
         conjunction with searchwindowsize.
 
         The searchwindowsize attribute sets the how far back in the incomming
         seach buffer Pexpect will search for pattern matches. Every time
         Pexpect reads some data from the child it will append the data to the
         incomming buffer. The default is to search from the beginning of the
         imcomming buffer each time new data is read from the child. But this is
         very inefficient if you are running a command that generates a large
         amount of data where you want to match The searchwindowsize does not
         effect the size of the incomming data buffer. You will still have
         access to the full buffer after expect() returns.
 
         The logfile member turns on or off logging. All input and output will
         be copied to the given file object. Set logfile to None to stop
         logging. This is the default. Set logfile to sys.stdout to echo
         everything to standard output. The logfile is flushed after each write.
 
         Example log input and output to a file::
 
             child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
             fout = file('mylog.txt','w')
             child.logfile = fout
 
         Example log to stdout::
 
             child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
             child.logfile = sys.stdout
 
         The logfile_read and logfile_send members can be used to separately log
         the input from the child and output sent to the child. Sometimes you
         don't want to see everything you write to the child. You only want to
         log what the child sends back. For example::
 
             child = pexpect.spawn('some_command')
             child.logfile_read = sys.stdout
 
         To separately log output sent to the child use logfile_send::
 
             self.logfile_send = fout
 
         The delaybeforesend helps overcome a weird behavior that many users
         were experiencing. The typical problem was that a user would expect() a
         "Password:" prompt and then immediately call sendline() to send the
         password. The user would then see that their password was echoed back
         to them. Passwords don't normally echo. The problem is caused by the
         fact that most applications print out the "Password" prompt and then
         turn off stdin echo, but if you send your password before the
         application turned off echo, then you get your password echoed.
         Normally this wouldn't be a problem when interacting with a human at a
         real keyboard. If you introduce a slight delay just before writing then
         this seems to clear up the problem. This was such a common problem for
         many users that I decided that the default pexpect behavior should be
         to sleep just before writing to the child application. 1/20th of a
         second (50 ms) seems to be enough to clear up the problem. You can set
         delaybeforesend to 0 to return to the old behavior. Most Linux machines
         don't like this to be below 0.03. I don't know why.
 
         Note that spawn is clever about finding commands on your path.
         It uses the same logic that "which" uses to find executables.
 
         If you wish to get the exit status of the child you must call the
         close() method. The exit or signal status of the child will be stored
         in self.exitstatus or self.signalstatus. If the child exited normally
         then exitstatus will store the exit return code and signalstatus will
         be None. If the child was terminated abnormally with a signal then
         signalstatus will store the signal value and exitstatus will be None.
         If you need more detail you can also read the self.status member which
         stores the status returned by os.waitpid. You can interpret this using
         os.WIFEXITED/os.WEXITSTATUS or os.WIFSIGNALED/os.TERMSIG. """

         """This seeks through the stream until a pattern is matched. The
         pattern is overloaded and may take several types. The pattern can be a
         StringType, EOF, a compiled re, or a list of any of those types.
         Strings will be compiled to re types. This returns the index into the
         pattern list. If the pattern was not a list this returns index 0 on a
         successful match. This may raise exceptions for EOF or TIMEOUT. To
         avoid the EOF or TIMEOUT exceptions add EOF or TIMEOUT to the pattern
         list. That will cause expect to match an EOF or TIMEOUT condition
         instead of raising an exception.
 
         If you pass a list of patterns and more than one matches, the first match
         in the stream is chosen. If more than one pattern matches at that point,
         the leftmost in the pattern list is chosen. For example::
 
             # the input is 'foobar'
             index = p.expect (['bar', 'foo', 'foobar'])
             # returns 1 ('foo') even though 'foobar' is a "better" match
 
         Please note, however, that buffering can affect this behavior, since
         input arrives in unpredictable chunks. For example::
 
             # the input is 'foobar'
             index = p.expect (['foobar', 'foo'])
             # returns 0 ('foobar') if all input is available at once,
             # but returs 1 ('foo') if parts of the final 'bar' arrive late
 
         After a match is found the instance attributes 'before', 'after' and
         'match' will be set. You can see all the data read before the match in
         'before'. You can see the data that was matched in 'after'. The
         re.MatchObject used in the re match will be in 'match'. If an error
         occurred then 'before' will be set to all the data read so far and
         'after' and 'match' will be None.
 
         If timeout is -1 then timeout will be set to the self.timeout value.
 
         A list entry may be EOF or TIMEOUT instead of a string. This will
         catch these exceptions and return the index of the list entry instead
         of raising the exception. The attribute 'after' will be set to the
         exception type. The attribute 'match' will be None. This allows you to
         write code like this::
 
                 index = p.expect (['good', 'bad', pexpect.EOF, pexpect.TIMEOUT])
                 if index == 0:
                     do_something()
                 elif index == 1:
                     do_something_else()
                 elif index == 2:
                     do_some_other_thing()
                 elif index == 3:
                     do_something_completely_different()
 
         instead of code like this::
 
                 try:
                     index = p.expect (['good', 'bad'])
                     if index == 0:
                         do_something()
                     elif index == 1:
                         do_something_else()
                 except EOF:

                 except TIMEOUT:
                     do_something_completely_different()
 
         These two forms are equivalent. It all depends on what you want. You
         can also just expect the EOF if you are waiting for all output of a
         child to finish. For example::
 
                 p = pexpect.spawn('/bin/ls')
                 p.expect (pexpect.EOF)
                 print p.before
