17 17 IPython -- An enhanced Interactive Python
18 18 =========================================
19 19
20 20 A Python shell with automatic history (input and output), dynamic object
21 21 introspection, easier configuration, command completion, access to the system
22 22 shell and more.
23 23
24 24 IPython can also be embedded in running programs. See EMBEDDING below.
25 25
26 26
27 27 USAGE
28 28 ipython [options] files
29 29
30 30 If invoked with no options, it executes all the files listed in
31 31 sequence and drops you into the interpreter while still acknowledging
32 32 any options you may have set in your ipythonrc file. This behavior is
33 33 different from standard Python, which when called as python -i will
34 34 only execute one file and will ignore your configuration setup.
35 35
36 36 Please note that some of the configuration options are not available at
37 37 the command line, simply because they are not practical here. Look into
38 38 your ipythonrc configuration file for details on those. This file
39 39 typically installed in the $HOME/.ipython directory.
40 40
41 41 For Windows users, $HOME resolves to C:\\Documents and
42 42 Settings\\YourUserName in most instances, and _ipython is used instead
43 43 of .ipython, since some Win32 programs have problems with dotted names
44 44 in directories.
45 45
46 46 In the rest of this text, we will refer to this directory as
47 47 IPYTHONDIR.
48 48
49 49
50 50 SPECIAL THREADING OPTIONS
51 51 The following special options are ONLY valid at the beginning of the
52 52 command line, and not later. This is because they control the initial-
53 53 ization of ipython itself, before the normal option-handling mechanism
54 54 is active.
55 55
56 56 -gthread, -qthread, -q4thread, -wthread, -pylab
57 57
58 58 Only ONE of these can be given, and it can only be given as the
59 59 first option passed to IPython (it will have no effect in any
60 60 other position). They provide threading support for the GTK, QT
61 61 and WXWidgets toolkits, and for the matplotlib library.
62 62
63 63 With any of the first four options, IPython starts running a
64 64 separate thread for the graphical toolkit's operation, so that
65 65 you can open and control graphical elements from within an
66 66 IPython command line, without blocking. All four provide
67 67 essentially the same functionality, respectively for GTK, QT3,
68 68 QT4 and WXWidgets (via their Python interfaces).
69 69
70 70 Note that with -wthread, you can additionally use the -wxversion
71 71 option to request a specific version of wx to be used. This
72 72 requires that you have the 'wxversion' Python module installed,
73 73 which is part of recent wxPython distributions.
74 74
75 75 If -pylab is given, IPython loads special support for the mat-
76 76 plotlib library (http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net), allowing
77 77 interactive usage of any of its backends as defined in the
78 78 user's .matplotlibrc file. It automatically activates GTK, QT
79 79 or WX threading for IPyhton if the choice of matplotlib backend
80 80 requires it. It also modifies the %run command to correctly
81 81 execute (without blocking) any matplotlib-based script which
82 82 calls show() at the end.
83 83
84 84 -tk The -g/q/q4/wthread options, and -pylab (if matplotlib is
85 85 configured to use GTK, QT or WX), will normally block Tk
86 86 graphical interfaces. This means that when GTK, QT or WX
87 87 threading is active, any attempt to open a Tk GUI will result in
88 88 a dead window, and possibly cause the Python interpreter to
89 89 crash. An extra option, -tk, is available to address this
90 90 issue. It can ONLY be given as a SECOND option after any of the
91 91 above (-gthread, -qthread, q4thread, -wthread or -pylab).
92 92
93 93 If -tk is given, IPython will try to coordinate Tk threading
94 94 with GTK, QT or WX. This is however potentially unreliable, and
95 95 you will have to test on your platform and Python configuration
96 96 to determine whether it works for you. Debian users have
97 97 reported success, apparently due to the fact that Debian builds
98 98 all of Tcl, Tk, Tkinter and Python with pthreads support. Under
99 99 other Linux environments (such as Fedora Core 2/3), this option
100 100 has caused random crashes and lockups of the Python interpreter.
101 101 Under other operating systems (Mac OSX and Windows), you'll need
102 102 to try it to find out, since currently no user reports are
103 103 available.
104 104
105 105 There is unfortunately no way for IPython to determine at run-
106 106 time whether -tk will work reliably or not, so you will need to
107 107 do some experiments before relying on it for regular work.
108 108
109 109 A WARNING ABOUT SIGNALS AND THREADS
110 110
111 111 When any of the thread systems (GTK, QT or WX) are active, either
112 112 directly or via -pylab with a threaded backend, it is impossible to
113 113 interrupt long-running Python code via Ctrl-C. IPython can not pass
114 114 the KeyboardInterrupt exception (or the underlying SIGINT) across
115 115 threads, so any long-running process started from IPython will run to
116 116 completion, or will have to be killed via an external (OS-based)
117 117 mechanism.
118 118
119 119 To the best of my knowledge, this limitation is imposed by the Python
120 120 interpreter itself, and it comes from the difficulty of writing
121 121 portable signal/threaded code. If any user is an expert on this topic
122 122 and can suggest a better solution, I would love to hear about it. In
123 123 the IPython sources, look at the Shell.py module, and in particular at
124 124 the runcode() method.
125 125
126 126 REGULAR OPTIONS
127 127 After the above threading options have been given, regular options can
128 128 follow in any order. All options can be abbreviated to their shortest
129 129 non-ambiguous form and are case-sensitive. One or two dashes can be
130 130 used. Some options have an alternate short form, indicated after a |.
131 131
132 132 Most options can also be set from your ipythonrc configuration file.
133 133 See the provided examples for assistance. Options given on the comman-
134 134 dline override the values set in the ipythonrc file.
135 135
136 136 All options with a [no] prepended can be specified in negated form
137 137 (using -nooption instead of -option) to turn the feature off.
138 138
139 139 -h, --help
140 140 Show summary of options.
141 141
142 142 -pylab This can only be given as the first option passed to IPython (it
143 143 will have no effect in any other position). It adds special sup-
144 144 port for the matplotlib library (http://matplotlib.source-
145 145 forge.net), allowing interactive usage of any of its backends as
146 146 defined in the user's .matplotlibrc file. It automatically
147 147 activates GTK or WX threading for IPyhton if the choice of mat-
148 148 plotlib backend requires it. It also modifies the @run command
149 149 to correctly execute (without blocking) any matplotlib-based
150 150 script which calls show() at the end.
151 151
152 152 -autocall <val>
153 153 Make IPython automatically call any callable object even if you
154 154 didn't type explicit parentheses. For example, 'str 43' becomes
155 155 'str(43)' automatically. The value can be '0' to disable the
156 156 feature, '1' for 'smart' autocall, where it is not applied if
157 157 there are no more arguments on the line, and '2' for 'full'
158 158 autocall, where all callable objects are automatically called
159 159 (even if no arguments are present). The default is '1'.
160 160
161 161 -[no]autoindent
162 162 Turn automatic indentation on/off.
163 163
164 164 -[no]automagic
165 165 Make magic commands automatic (without needing their first char-
166 166 acter to be %). Type %magic at the IPython prompt for more
167 167 information.
168 168
169 169 -[no]autoedit_syntax
170 170 When a syntax error occurs after editing a file, automatically
171 171 open the file to the trouble causing line for convenient fixing.
172 172
173 173 -[no]banner
174 174 Print the intial information banner (default on).
175 175
176 176 -c <command>
177 177 Execute the given command string, and set sys.argv to ['c'].
178 178 This is similar to the -c option in the normal Python inter-
179 179 preter.
180 180
181 181 -cache_size|cs <n>
182 182 Size of the output cache (maximum number of entries to hold in
183 183 memory). The default is 1000, you can change it permanently in
184 184 your config file. Setting it to 0 completely disables the
185 185 caching system, and the minimum value accepted is 20 (if you
186 186 provide a value less than 20, it is reset to 0 and a warning is
187 187 issued). This limit is defined because otherwise you'll spend
188 188 more time re-flushing a too small cache than working.
189 189
190 190 -classic|cl
191 191 Gives IPython a similar feel to the classic Python prompt.
192 192
193 193 -colors <scheme>
194 194 Color scheme for prompts and exception reporting. Currently
195 195 implemented: NoColor, Linux, and LightBG.
196 196
197 197 -[no]color_info
198 198 IPython can display information about objects via a set of func-
199 199 tions, and optionally can use colors for this, syntax highlight-
200 200 ing source code and various other elements. However, because
201 201 this information is passed through a pager (like 'less') and
202 202 many pagers get confused with color codes, this option is off by
203 203 default. You can test it and turn it on permanently in your
204 204 ipythonrc file if it works for you. As a reference, the 'less'
205 205 pager supplied with Mandrake 8.2 works ok, but that in RedHat
206 206 7.2 doesn't.
207 207
208 208 Test it and turn it on permanently if it works with your system.
209 209 The magic function @color_info allows you to toggle this inter-
210 210 actively for testing.
211 211
212 212 -[no]confirm_exit
213 213 Set to confirm when you try to exit IPython with an EOF (Con-
214 214 trol-D in Unix, Control-Z/Enter in Windows). Note that using the
215 215 magic functions @Exit or @Quit you can force a direct exit,
216 216 bypassing any confirmation.
217 217
218 218 -[no]debug
219 219 Show information about the loading process. Very useful to pin
220 220 down problems with your configuration files or to get details
221 221 about session restores.
222 222
223 223 -[no]deep_reload
224 224 IPython can use the deep_reload module which reloads changes in
225 225 modules recursively (it replaces the reload() function, so you
226 226 don't need to change anything to use it). deep_reload() forces a
227 227 full reload of modules whose code may have changed, which the
228 228 default reload() function does not.
229 229
230 230 When deep_reload is off, IPython will use the normal reload(),
231 231 but deep_reload will still be available as dreload(). This fea-
232 232 ture is off by default [which means that you have both normal
233 233 reload() and dreload()].
234 234
235 235 -editor <name>
236 236 Which editor to use with the @edit command. By default, IPython
237 237 will honor your EDITOR environment variable (if not set, vi is
238 238 the Unix default and notepad the Windows one). Since this editor
239 239 is invoked on the fly by IPython and is meant for editing small
240 240 code snippets, you may want to use a small, lightweight editor
241 241 here (in case your default EDITOR is something like Emacs).
242 242
243 243 -ipythondir <name>
244 244 The name of your IPython configuration directory IPYTHONDIR.
245 245 This can also be specified through the environment variable
246 246 IPYTHONDIR.
247 247
248 248 -log|l Generate a log file of all input. The file is named
249 249 ipython_log.py in your current directory (which prevents logs
250 250 from multiple IPython sessions from trampling each other). You
251 251 can use this to later restore a session by loading your logfile
252 252 as a file to be executed with option -logplay (see below).
253 253
254 254 -logfile|lf
255 255 Specify the name of your logfile.
256 256
257 257 -logplay|lp
258 258 Replay a previous log. For restoring a session as close as pos-
259 259 sible to the state you left it in, use this option (don't just
260 260 run the logfile). With -logplay, IPython will try to reconstruct
261 261 the previous working environment in full, not just execute the
262 262 commands in the logfile.
263 263 When a session is restored, logging is automatically turned on
264 264 again with the name of the logfile it was invoked with (it is
265 265 read from the log header). So once you've turned logging on for
266 266 a session, you can quit IPython and reload it as many times as
267 267 you want and it will continue to log its history and restore
268 268 from the beginning every time.
269 269
270 270 Caveats: there are limitations in this option. The history vari-
271 271 ables _i*,_* and _dh don't get restored properly. In the future
272 272 we will try to implement full session saving by writing and
273 273 retrieving a failed because of inherent limitations of Python's
274 274 Pickle module, so this may have to wait.
275 275
276 276 -[no]messages
277 277 Print messages which IPython collects about its startup process
278 278 (default on).
279 279
280 280 -[no]pdb
281 281 Automatically call the pdb debugger after every uncaught excep-
282 282 tion. If you are used to debugging using pdb, this puts you
283 283 automatically inside of it after any call (either in IPython or
284 284 in code called by it) which triggers an exception which goes
285 285 uncaught.
286 286
287 287 -[no]pprint
288 288 IPython can optionally use the pprint (pretty printer) module
289 289 for displaying results. pprint tends to give a nicer display of
290 290 nested data structures. If you like it, you can turn it on per-
291 291 manently in your config file (default off).
292 292
293 293 -profile|p <name>
294 294 Assume that your config file is ipythonrc-<name> (looks in cur-
295 295 rent dir first, then in IPYTHONDIR). This is a quick way to keep
296 296 and load multiple config files for different tasks, especially
297 297 if you use the include option of config files. You can keep a
298 298 basic IPYTHONDIR/ipythonrc file and then have other 'profiles'
299 299 which include this one and load extra things for particular
300 300 tasks. For example:
301 301
302 302 1) $HOME/.ipython/ipythonrc : load basic things you always want.
303 303 2) $HOME/.ipython/ipythonrc-math : load (1) and basic math-
304 304 related modules.
305 305 3) $HOME/.ipython/ipythonrc-numeric : load (1) and Numeric and
306 306 plotting modules.
307 307
308 308 Since it is possible to create an endless loop by having circu-
309 309 lar file inclusions, IPython will stop if it reaches 15 recur-
310 310 sive inclusions.
311 311
312 312 -prompt_in1|pi1 <string>
313 313 Specify the string used for input prompts. Note that if you are
314 314 using numbered prompts, the number is represented with a '\#' in
315 315 the string. Don't forget to quote strings with spaces embedded
316 316 in them. Default: 'In [\#]: '.
317 317
318 318 Most bash-like escapes can be used to customize IPython's
319 319 prompts, as well as a few additional ones which are IPython-spe-
320 320 cific. All valid prompt escapes are described in detail in the
321 321 Customization section of the IPython HTML/PDF manual.
322 322
323 323 -prompt_in2|pi2 <string>
324 324 Similar to the previous option, but used for the continuation
325 325 prompts. The special sequence '\D' is similar to '\#', but with
326 326 all digits replaced dots (so you can have your continuation
327 327 prompt aligned with your input prompt). Default: ' .\D.: '
328 328 (note three spaces at the start for alignment with 'In [\#]').
329 329
330 330 -prompt_out|po <string>
331 331 String used for output prompts, also uses numbers like
332 332 prompt_in1. Default: 'Out[\#]:'.
333 333
334 334 -quick Start in bare bones mode (no config file loaded).
335 335
336 336 -rcfile <name>
337 337 Name of your IPython resource configuration file. normally
338 338 IPython loads ipythonrc (from current directory) or
339 339 IPYTHONDIR/ipythonrc. If the loading of your config file fails,
340 340 IPython starts with a bare bones configuration (no modules
341 341 loaded at all).
342 342
343 343 -[no]readline
344 344 Use the readline library, which is needed to support name com-
345 345 pletion and command history, among other things. It is enabled
346 346 by default, but may cause problems for users of X/Emacs in
347 347 Python comint or shell buffers.
348 348
349 349 Note that emacs 'eterm' buffers (opened with M-x term) support
350 350 IPython's readline and syntax coloring fine, only 'emacs' (M-x
351 351 shell and C-c !) buffers do not.
352 352
353 353 -screen_length|sl <n>
354 354 Number of lines of your screen. This is used to control print-
355 355 ing of very long strings. Strings longer than this number of
356 356 lines will be sent through a pager instead of directly printed.
357 357
358 358 The default value for this is 0, which means IPython will auto-
359 359 detect your screen size every time it needs to print certain
360 360 potentially long strings (this doesn't change the behavior of
361 361 the 'print' keyword, it's only triggered internally). If for
362 362 some reason this isn't working well (it needs curses support),
363 363 specify it yourself. Otherwise don't change the default.
364 364
365 365 -separate_in|si <string>
366 366 Separator before input prompts. Default '0.
367 367
368 368 -separate_out|so <string>
369 369 Separator before output prompts. Default: 0 (nothing).
370 370
371 371 -separate_out2|so2 <string>
372 372 Separator after output prompts. Default: 0 (nothing).
373 373
374 374 -nosep Shorthand for '-separate_in 0 -separate_out 0 -separate_out2 0'.
375 375 Simply removes all input/output separators.
376 376
377 377 -upgrade
378 378 Allows you to upgrade your IPYTHONDIR configuration when you
379 379 install a new version of IPython. Since new versions may
380 380 include new command lines options or example files, this copies
381 381 updated ipythonrc-type files. However, it backs up (with a .old
382 382 extension) all files which it overwrites so that you can merge
383 383 back any custimizations you might have in your personal files.
384 384
385 385 -Version
386 386 Print version information and exit.
387 387
388 388 -wxversion <string>
389 389 Select a specific version of wxPython (used in conjunction with
390 390 -wthread). Requires the wxversion module, part of recent
391 391 wxPython distributions.
392 392
393 393 -xmode <modename>
394 394 Mode for exception reporting. The valid modes are Plain, Con-
395 395 text, and Verbose.
396 396
397 397 - Plain: similar to python's normal traceback printing.
398 398
399 399 - Context: prints 5 lines of context source code around each
400 400 line in the traceback.
401 401
402 402 - Verbose: similar to Context, but additionally prints the vari-
403 403 ables currently visible where the exception happened (shortening
404 404 their strings if too long). This can potentially be very slow,
405 405 if you happen to have a huge data structure whose string repre-
406 406 sentation is complex to compute. Your computer may appear to
407 407 freeze for a while with cpu usage at 100%. If this occurs, you
408 408 can cancel the traceback with Ctrl-C (maybe hitting it more than
409 409 once).
410 410
411 411
412 412 EMBEDDING
413 413 It is possible to start an IPython instance inside your own Python pro-
414 414 grams. In the documentation example files there are some illustrations
415 415 on how to do this.
416 416
417 417 This feature allows you to evalutate dynamically the state of your
418 418 code, operate with your variables, analyze them, etc. Note however
419 419 that any changes you make to values while in the shell do NOT propagate
420 420 back to the running code, so it is safe to modify your values because
421 421 you won't break your code in bizarre ways by doing so.

428 428 IPython -- An enhanced Interactive Python
429 429 =========================================
430 430
431 431 IPython offers a combination of convenient shell features, special commands
432 432 and a history mechanism for both input (command history) and output (results
433 433 caching, similar to Mathematica). It is intended to be a fully compatible
434 434 replacement for the standard Python interpreter, while offering vastly
435 435 improved functionality and flexibility.
436 436
437 437 At your system command line, type 'ipython -help' to see the command line
438 438 options available. This document only describes interactive features.
439 439
440 440 Warning: IPython relies on the existence of a global variable called __IP which
441 441 controls the shell itself. If you redefine __IP to anything, bizarre behavior
442 442 will quickly occur.
443 443
444 444 MAIN FEATURES
445 445
446 446 * Access to the standard Python help. As of Python 2.1, a help system is
447 447 available with access to object docstrings and the Python manuals. Simply
448 448 type 'help' (no quotes) to access it.
449 449
450 450 * Magic commands: type %magic for information on the magic subsystem.
451 451
452 452 * System command aliases, via the %alias command or the ipythonrc config file.
453 453
454 454 * Dynamic object information:
455 455
456 456 Typing ?word or word? prints detailed information about an object. If
457 457 certain strings in the object are too long (docstrings, code, etc.) they get
458 458 snipped in the center for brevity.
459 459
460 460 Typing ??word or word?? gives access to the full information without
461 461 snipping long strings. Long strings are sent to the screen through the less
462 462 pager if longer than the screen, printed otherwise.
463 463
464 464 The ?/?? system gives access to the full source code for any object (if
465 465 available), shows function prototypes and other useful information.
466 466
467 467 If you just want to see an object's docstring, type '%pdoc object' (without
468 468 quotes, and without % if you have automagic on).
469 469
470 470 Both %pdoc and ?/?? give you access to documentation even on things which are
471 471 not explicitely defined. Try for example typing {}.get? or after import os,
472 472 type os.path.abspath??. The magic functions %pdef, %source and %file operate
473 473 similarly.
474 474
475 475 * Completion in the local namespace, by typing TAB at the prompt.
476 476
477 477 At any time, hitting tab will complete any available python commands or
478 478 variable names, and show you a list of the possible completions if there's
479 479 no unambiguous one. It will also complete filenames in the current directory.
480 480
481 481 This feature requires the readline and rlcomplete modules, so it won't work
482 482 if your Python lacks readline support (such as under Windows).
483 483
484 484 * Search previous command history in two ways (also requires readline):
485 485
486 486 - Start typing, and then use Ctrl-p (previous,up) and Ctrl-n (next,down) to
487 487 search through only the history items that match what you've typed so
488 488 far. If you use Ctrl-p/Ctrl-n at a blank prompt, they just behave like
489 489 normal arrow keys.
490 490
491 491 - Hit Ctrl-r: opens a search prompt. Begin typing and the system searches
492 492 your history for lines that match what you've typed so far, completing as
493 493 much as it can.
494 494
495 495 * Persistent command history across sessions (readline required).
496 496
497 497 * Logging of input with the ability to save and restore a working session.
498 498
499 499 * System escape with !. Typing !ls will run 'ls' in the current directory.
500 500
501 501 * The reload command does a 'deep' reload of a module: changes made to the
502 502 module since you imported will actually be available without having to exit.
503 503
504 504 * Verbose and colored exception traceback printouts. See the magic xmode and
505 505 xcolor functions for details (just type %magic).
506 506
507 507 * Input caching system:
508 508
509 509 IPython offers numbered prompts (In/Out) with input and output caching. All
510 510 input is saved and can be retrieved as variables (besides the usual arrow
511 511 key recall).
512 512
513 513 The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
514 514 _i: stores previous input.
515 515 _ii: next previous.
516 516 _iii: next-next previous.
517 517 _ih : a list of all input _ih[n] is the input from line n.
518 518
519 519 Additionally, global variables named _i<n> are dynamically created (<n>
520 520 being the prompt counter), such that _i<n> == _ih[<n>]
521 521
522 522 For example, what you typed at prompt 14 is available as _i14 and _ih[14].
523 523
524 524 You can create macros which contain multiple input lines from this history,
525 525 for later re-execution, with the %macro function.
526 526
527 527 The history function %hist allows you to see any part of your input history
528 528 by printing a range of the _i variables. Note that inputs which contain
529 529 magic functions (%) appear in the history with a prepended comment. This is
530 530 because they aren't really valid Python code, so you can't exec them.
531 531
532 532 * Output caching system:
533 533
534 534 For output that is returned from actions, a system similar to the input
535 535 cache exists but using _ instead of _i. Only actions that produce a result
536 536 (NOT assignments, for example) are cached. If you are familiar with
537 537 Mathematica, IPython's _ variables behave exactly like Mathematica's %
538 538 variables.
539 539
540 540 The following GLOBAL variables always exist (so don't overwrite them!):
541 541 _ (one underscore): previous output.
542 542 __ (two underscores): next previous.
543 543 ___ (three underscores): next-next previous.
544 544
545 545 Global variables named _<n> are dynamically created (<n> being the prompt
546 546 counter), such that the result of output <n> is always available as _<n>.
547 547
548 548 Finally, a global dictionary named _oh exists with entries for all lines
549 549 which generated output.
550 550
551 551 * Directory history:
552 552
553 553 Your history of visited directories is kept in the global list _dh, and the

556 556 * Auto-parentheses and auto-quotes (adapted from Nathan Gray's LazyPython)
557 557
558 558 1. Auto-parentheses
559 559 Callable objects (i.e. functions, methods, etc) can be invoked like
560 560 this (notice the commas between the arguments):
561 561 >>> callable_ob arg1, arg2, arg3
562 562 and the input will be translated to this:
563 563 --> callable_ob(arg1, arg2, arg3)
564 564 You can force auto-parentheses by using '/' as the first character
565 565 of a line. For example:
566 566 >>> /globals # becomes 'globals()'
567 567 Note that the '/' MUST be the first character on the line! This
568 568 won't work:
569 569 >>> print /globals # syntax error
570 570
571 571 In most cases the automatic algorithm should work, so you should
572 572 rarely need to explicitly invoke /. One notable exception is if you
573 573 are trying to call a function with a list of tuples as arguments (the
574 574 parenthesis will confuse IPython):
575 575 In [1]: zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6) # won't work
576 576 but this will work:
577 577 In [2]: /zip (1,2,3),(4,5,6)
578 578 ------> zip ((1,2,3),(4,5,6))
579 579 Out[2]= [(1, 4), (2, 5), (3, 6)]
580 580
581 581 IPython tells you that it has altered your command line by
582 582 displaying the new command line preceded by -->. e.g.:
583 583 In [18]: callable list
584 584 -------> callable (list)
585 585
586 586 2. Auto-Quoting
587 587 You can force auto-quoting of a function's arguments by using ',' as
588 588 the first character of a line. For example:
589 589 >>> ,my_function /home/me # becomes my_function("/home/me")
590 590
591 591 If you use ';' instead, the whole argument is quoted as a single
592 592 string (while ',' splits on whitespace):
593 593 >>> ,my_function a b c # becomes my_function("a","b","c")
594 594 >>> ;my_function a b c # becomes my_function("a b c")
595 595
596 596 Note that the ',' MUST be the first character on the line! This
597 597 won't work:
598 598 >>> x = ,my_function /home/me # syntax error

148 151
149 152 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_profile_doctest.py: New profile for
150 153 doctest support. It sets prompts/exceptions as similar to
151 154 standard Python as possible, so that ipython sessions in this
152 155 profile can be easily pasted as doctests with minimal
153 156 modifications. It also enables pasting of doctests from external
154 157 sources (even if they have leading whitespace), so that you can
155 158 rerun doctests from existing sources.
156 159
157 160 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix a buglet where after entering
158 161 some whitespace, the prompt would become a continuation prompt
159 162 with no way of exiting it other than Ctrl-C. This fix brings us
160 163 into conformity with how the default python prompt works.
161 164
162 165 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py (prefilter_paste):
163 166 Add support for pasting not only lines that start with '>>>', but
164 167 also with ' >>>'. That is, arbitrary whitespace can now precede
165 168 the prompts. This makes the system useful for pasting doctests
166 169 from docstrings back into a normal session.
167 170
168 171 2007-08-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
169 172
170 173 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): fix bug introduced in
171 174 r1357, which had killed multiple invocations of an embedded
172 175 ipython (this means that example-embed has been broken for over 1
173 176 year!!!). Rather than possibly breaking the batch stuff for which
174 177 the code in iplib.py/interact was introduced, I worked around the
175 178 problem in the embedding class in Shell.py. We really need a
176 179 bloody test suite for this code, I'm sick of finding stuff that
177 180 used to work breaking left and right every time I use an old
178 181 feature I hadn't touched in a few months.
179 182 (kill_embedded): Add a new magic that only shows up in embedded
180 183 mode, to allow users to permanently deactivate an embedded instance.
181 184
182 185 2007-08-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
183 186
184 187 * iplib.py, ipy_profile_sh.py (runlines): Fix the bug where raw
185 188 history gets out of sync on runlines (e.g. when running macros).
186 189
187 190 2007-07-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
188 191
189 192 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_colors): fix win32-related error message
190 193 that could appear under *nix when readline was missing. Patch by
191 194 Scott Jackson, closes #175.
192 195
193 196 2007-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
194 197
195 198 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_traits_completer.py: Add a new custom
196 199 completer that it traits-aware, so that traits objects don't show
197 200 all of their internal attributes all the time.
198 201
199 202 * IPython/genutils.py (dir2): moved this code from inside
200 203 completer.py to expose it publicly, so I could use it in the
201 204 wildcards bugfix.
202 205
203 206 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix a bug reported by
204 207 Stefan with Traits.
205 208
206 209 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): change internal
207 210 var name from 'object' to 'obj', since 'object' is now a builtin
208 211 and this can lead to weird bugs if reusing this code elsewhere.
209 212
210 213 2007-07-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
211 214
212 215 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix small glitches in
213 216 'foo?' and update the code to prevent printing of default
214 217 docstrings that started appearing after I added support for
215 218 new-style classes. The approach I'm using isn't ideal (I just
216 219 special-case those strings) but I'm not sure how to more robustly
217 220 differentiate between truly user-written strings and Python's
218 221 automatic ones.
219 222
220 223 2007-07-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
221 224
222 225 * completer.py: Applied Matthew Neeley's patch:
223 226 Dynamic attributes from trait_names and _getAttributeNames are added
224 227 to the list of tab completions, but when this happens, the attribute
225 228 list is turned into a set, so the attributes are unordered when
226 229 printed, which makes it hard to find the right completion. This patch
227 230 turns this set back into a list and sort it.
228 231
229 232 2007-07-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
230 233
231 234 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add support for new-style
232 235 classes in various inspector functions.
233 236
234 237 2007-06-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
235 238
236 239 * shadowns.py, iplib.py, ipapi.py, OInspect.py:
237 240 Implement "shadow" namespace, and callable aliases that reside there.
238 241 Use them by:
239 242
240 243 _ip.defalias('foo',myfunc) # creates _sh.foo that points to myfunc
241 244
242 245 foo hello world
243 246 (gets translated to:)
244 247 _sh.foo(r"""hello world""")
245 248
246 249 In practice, this kind of alias can take the role of a magic function
247 250
248 251 * New generic inspect_object, called on obj? and obj??
249 252
250 253 2007-06-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
251 254
252 255 * IPython/ultraTB.py (findsource): fix a problem with
253 256 inspect.getfile that can cause crashes during traceback construction.
254 257
255 258 2007-06-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
256 259
257 260 * iplib.py (handle_auto): Try to use ascii for printing "--->"
258 261 autocall rewrite indication, becausesometimes unicode fails to print
259 262 properly (and you get ' - - - '). Use plain uncoloured ---> for
260 263 unicode.
261 264
262 265 * shadow history. Usable through "%hist -g <pat>" and "%rep 0123".
263 266
264 267 . pickleshare 'hash' commands (hget, hset, hcompress,
265 268 hdict) for efficient shadow history storage.
266 269
267 270 2007-06-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
268 271
269 272 * ipapi.py: _ip.to_user_ns(vars, interactive = True).
270 273 Added kw arg 'interactive', tell whether vars should be visible
271 274 with %whos.
272 275
273 276 2007-06-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
274 277
275 278 * pspersistence.py, Magic.py, iplib.py: directory history now saved
276 279 to db
277 280
278 281 * iplib.py: "ipython -c <cmd>" now passes the command through prefilter.
279 282 Also, it exits IPython immediately after evaluating the command (just like
280 283 std python)
281 284
282 285 2007-06-05 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
283 286
284 287 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a new table icap, which executes a
285 288 Python string and captures the output. (Idea and original patch by
286 289 StοΏ½fan van der Walt)
287 290
288 291 2007-06-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
289 292
290 293 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): update printing of
291 294 exception types for Python 2.5 (now all exceptions in the stdlib
292 295 are new-style classes).
293 296
294 297 2007-05-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
295 298
296 299 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add new commands refresh and
297 300 refresh_timer (mapped to "R"/"F5" and to the menu) which restarts
298 301 the iterator once (refresh) or after every x seconds (refresh_timer).
299 302 Add a working implementation of "searchexpression", where the text
300 303 entered is not the text to search for, but an expression that must
301 304 be true. Added display of shortcuts to the menu. Added commands "pickinput"
302 305 and "pickinputattr" that put the object or attribute under the cursor
303 306 in the input line. Split the statusbar to be able to display the currently
304 307 active refresh interval. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)

315 318 * %cpaste: strip + with > from left (diffs).
316 319
317 320 * iplib.py: Fix crash when readline not installed
318 321
319 322 2007-05-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
320 323
321 324 * generics.py: intruduce easy to extend result_display generic
322 325 function (using simplegeneric.py).
323 326
324 327 * Fixed the append functionality of %set.
325 328
326 329 2007-05-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
327 330
328 331 * New magic: %rep (fetch / run old commands from history)
329 332
330 333 * New extension: mglob (%mglob magic), for powerful glob / find /filter
331 334 like functionality
332 335
333 336 % maghistory.py: %hist -g PATTERM greps the history for pattern
334 337
335 338 2007-05-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
336 339
337 340 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Added a Table ihist that can be used to
338 341 browse the IPython input history
339 342
340 343 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Added two command to ibrowse: pickinput
341 344 (mapped to "i") can be used to put the object under the curser in the input
342 345 line. pickinputattr (mapped to "I") does the same for the attribute under
343 346 the cursor.
344 347
345 348 2007-05-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
346 349
347 350 * Grand magic cleansing (changeset [2380]):
348 351
349 352 * Introduce ipy_legacy.py where the following magics were
350 353 moved:
351 354
352 355 pdef pdoc psource pfile rehash dhist Quit p r automagic autocall
353 356
354 357 If you need them, either use default profile or "import ipy_legacy"
355 358 in your ipy_user_conf.py
356 359
357 360 * Move sh and scipy profile to Extensions from UserConfig. this implies
358 361 you should not edit them, but you don't need to run %upgrade when
359 362 upgrading IPython anymore.
360 363
361 364 * %hist/%history now operates in "raw" mode by default. To get the old
362 365 behaviour, run '%hist -n' (native mode).
363 366
364 367 * split ipy_stock_completers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py and
365 368 ipy_app_completers.py. Stock completers (%cd, import, %run) are now
366 369 installed as default.
367 370
368 371 * sh profile now installs ipy_signals.py, for (hopefully) better ctrl+c
369 372 handling.
370 373
371 374 * iplib.py, ipapi.py: _ip.set_next_input(s) sets the next ("default")
372 375 input if readline is available.
373 376
374 377 2007-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
375 378
376 379 * macro.py: %store uses __getstate__ properly
377 380
378 381 * exesetup.py: added new setup script for creating
379 382 standalone IPython executables with py2exe (i.e.
380 383 no python installation required).
381 384
382 385 * Removed ipythonrc-scipy, ipy_profile_scipy.py takes
383 386 its place.
384 387
385 388 * rlineimpl.py, genutils.py (get_home_dir): py2exe support
386 389
387 390 2007-05-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
388 391
389 392 * platutil_win32.py (set_term_title): handle
390 393 failure of 'title' system call properly.
391 394
392 395 2007-05-17 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
393 396
394 397 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix xrepr for ifiles.
395 398 (Bug detected by Paul Mueller).
396 399
397 400 2007-05-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
398 401
399 402 * ipy_profile_sci.py, ipython_win_post_install.py: Create
400 403 new "sci" profile, effectively a modern version of the old
401 404 "scipy" profile (which is now slated for deprecation).
402 405
403 406 2007-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
404 407
405 408 * pycolorize.py, pycolor.1: Paul Mueller's patches that
406 409 make pycolorize read input from stdin when run without arguments.
407 410
408 411 * Magic.py: do not require 'PATH' in %rehash/%rehashx. Closes #155
409 412
410 413 * ipy_rehashdir.py: rename ext_rehashdir to ipy_rehashdir, import
411 414 it in sh profile (instead of ipy_system_conf.py).
412 415
413 416 * Magic.py, ipy_rehashdir.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: System command
414 417 aliases are now lower case on windows (MyCommand.exe => mycommand).
415 418
416 419 * macro.py, ipapi.py, iplib.py, Prompts.py: Macro system rehaul.
417 420 Macros are now callable objects that inherit from ipapi.IPyAutocall,
418 421 i.e. get autocalled regardless of system autocall setting.
419 422
420 423 2007-05-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
421 424
422 425 * IPython/rlineimpl.py: check for clear_history in readline and
423 426 make it a dummy no-op if not available. This function isn't
424 427 guaranteed to be in the API and appeared in Python 2.4, so we need
425 428 to check it ourselves. Also, clean up this file quite a bit.
426 429
427 430 * ipython.1: update man page and full manual with information
428 431 about threads (remove outdated warning). Closes #151.
429 432
430 433 2007-05-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
431 434
432 435 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_constants.py: Add Gael's constants module
433 436 in trunk (note that this made it into the 0.8.1 release already,
434 437 but the changelogs didn't get coordinated). Many thanks to Gael
435 438 Varoquaux <gael.varoquaux-AT-normalesup.org>
436 439
437 440 2007-05-09 *** Released version 0.8.1
438 441
439 442 2007-05-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
440 443
441 444 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Incorporate html help into
442 445 the module, so we don't have to search for the file.
443 446
444 447 2007-05-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
445 448
446 449 * test/test_irunner.py (RunnerTestCase._test_runner): Close #147.
447 450
448 451 2007-04-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
449 452
450 453 * iplib.py: (pre_config_initialization) Catch UnicodeDecodeError if the
451 454 user has illegal (non-ascii) home directory name
452 455
453 456 2007-04-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
454 457
455 458 * platutils_win32.py: implement set_term_title for windows
456 459
457 460 * Update version number
458 461
459 462 * ipy_profile_sh.py: more informative prompt (2 dir levels)
460 463
461 464 2007-04-26 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
462 465
463 466 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (igrid) Fix bug that surfaced
464 467 when the igrid input raised an exception. (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn,
465 468 bug discovered by Ville).
466 469
467 470 2007-04-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
468 471
469 472 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: Olivier's module completer now
470 473 saves the list of root modules if it takes > 4 secs on the first run.
471 474
472 475 * Magic.py (%rehashx): %rehashx now clears the completer cache
473 476
474 477
475 478 2007-04-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
476 479
477 480 * ipython.el: fix incorrect color scheme, reported by Stefan.
478 481 Closes #149.
479 482
480 483 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): fix state-handling
481 484 logic. I still don't like how that code handles state, but at
482 485 least now it should be correct, if inelegant. Closes #146.
483 486
484 487 2007-04-25 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
485 488
486 489 * Extensions/ipy_which.py: added extension for %which magic, works
487 490 a lot like unix 'which' but also finds and expands aliases, and
488 491 allows wildcards.
489 492
490 493 * ipapi.py (expand_alias): Now actually *return* the expanded alias,
491 494 as opposed to returning nothing.
492 495
493 496 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, ipy_profile_sh.py: do not import
494 497 ipy_stock_completers on default profile, do import on sh profile.
495 498
496 499 2007-04-22 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
497 500
498 501 * Fix bug in iplib.py/safe_execfile when launching ipython with a script
499 502 like ipython.py foo.py which raised a IndexError.
500 503
501 504 2007-04-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
502 505
503 506 * Extensions/ipy_extutil.py: added extension to manage other ipython
504 507 extensions. Now only supports 'ls' == list extensions.
505 508
506 509 2007-04-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
507 510
508 511 * IPython/Debugger.py (BdbQuit_excepthook): fix small bug that
509 512 would prevent use of the exception system outside of a running
510 513 IPython instance.
511 514
512 515 2007-04-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
513 516
514 517 * Extensions/ipy_render.py: added extension for easy
515 518 interactive text template rendering (to clipboard). Uses Ka-Ping Yee's
516 519 'Iptl' template notation,
517 520
518 521 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py: introduced Olivier Lauzanne's
519 522 safer & faster 'import' completer.
520 523
521 524 * ipapi.py: Introduced new ipapi methods, _ip.defmacro(name, value)
522 525 and _ip.defalias(name, command).
523 526
524 527 * Extensions/ipy_exportdb.py: New extension for exporting all the
525 528 %store'd data in a portable format (normal ipapi calls like
526 529 defmacro() etc.)
527 530
528 531 2007-04-19 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
529 532
530 533 * upgrade_dir.py: skip junk files like *.pyc
531 534
532 535 * Release.py: version number to 0.8.1
533 536
534 537 2007-04-18 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
535 538
536 539 * iplib.py (safe_execfile): make "ipython foo.py" work with 2.5.1c1
537 540 and later on win32.
538 541
539 542 2007-04-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
540 543
541 544 * iplib.py (showtraceback): Do not crash when running w/o readline.
542 545
543 546 2007-04-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
544 547
545 548 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: (ils) Directoy listings are now
546 549 sorted (case sensitive with files and dirs mixed).
547 550
548 551 2007-04-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
549 552
550 553 * IPython/Release.py (version): Open trunk for 0.8.1 development.
551 554
552 555 2007-04-10 *** Released version 0.8.0
553 556
554 557 2007-04-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
555 558
556 559 * Tag 0.8.0 for release.
557 560
558 561 * IPython/iplib.py (reloadhist): add API function to cleanly
559 562 reload the readline history, which was growing inappropriately on
560 563 every %run call.
561 564
562 565 * win32_manual_post_install.py (run): apply last part of Nicolas
563 566 Pernetty's patch (I'd accidentally applied it in a different
564 567 directory and this particular file didn't get patched).
565 568
566 569 2007-04-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
567 570
568 571 * IPython/Shell.py (MAIN_THREAD_ID): get rid of my stupid hack to
569 572 find the main thread id and use the proper API call. Thanks to
570 573 Stefan for the fix.
571 574
572 575 * test/test_prefilter.py (esc_handler_tests): udpate one of Dan's
573 576 unit tests to reflect fixed ticket #52, and add more tests sent by
574 577 him.
575 578
576 579 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): restore the readline completer
577 580 state on every input, in case third-party code messed it up.
578 581 (_prefilter): revert recent addition of early-escape checks which
579 582 prevent many valid alias calls from working.
580 583
581 584 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): add a tracking
582 585 flag for sigint handler so we don't run a full signal() call on
583 586 each runcode access.
584 587
585 588 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): small improvement to diagnostic
586 589 message.
587 590
588 591 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
589 592
590 593 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): I *THINK* I finally got
591 594 asynchronous exceptions working, i.e., Ctrl-C can actually
592 595 interrupt long-running code in the multithreaded shells.
593 596
594 597 This is using Tomer Filiba's great ctypes-based trick:
595 598 http://sebulba.wikispaces.com/recipe+thread2. I'd already tried
596 599 this in the past, but hadn't been able to make it work before. So
597 600 far it looks like it's actually running, but this needs more
598 601 testing. If it really works, I'll be *very* happy, and we'll owe
599 602 a huge thank you to Tomer. My current implementation is ugly,
600 603 hackish and uses nasty globals, but I don't want to try and clean
601 604 anything up until we know if it actually works.
602 605
603 606 NOTE: this feature needs ctypes to work. ctypes is included in
604 607 Python2.5, but 2.4 users will need to manually install it. This
605 608 feature makes multi-threaded shells so much more usable that it's
606 609 a minor price to pay (ctypes is very easy to install, already a
607 610 requirement for win32 and available in major linux distros).
608 611
609 612 2007-04-04 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
610 613
611 614 * Extensions/ipy_completers.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
612 615 Moved implementations of 'bundled' completers to ipy_completers.py,
613 616 they are only enabled in ipy_stock_completers.py.
614 617
615 618 2007-04-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
616 619
617 620 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.format2): Fix identation of
618 621 colorzied output and return early if color scheme is NoColor, to
619 622 avoid unnecessary and expensive tokenization. Closes #131.
620 623
621 624 2007-04-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
622 625
623 626 * IPython/Debugger.py: disable the use of pydb version 1.17. It
624 627 has a critical bug (a missing import that makes post-mortem not
625 628 work at all). Unfortunately as of this time, this is the version
626 629 shipped with Ubuntu Edgy, so quite a few people have this one. I
627 630 hope Edgy will update to a more recent package.
628 631
629 632 2007-04-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
630 633
631 634 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): close #52, second part of a patch
632 635 set by Stefan (only the first part had been applied before).
633 636
634 637 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (module_completer):
635 638 remove usage of the dangerous pkgutil.walk_packages(). See
636 639 details in comments left in the code.
637 640
638 641 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_whos): add support for numpy arrays
639 642 similar to what we had for Numeric.
640 643
641 644 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): extend the
642 645 complete() call API to support completions by other mechanisms
643 646 than readline. Closes #109.
644 647
645 648 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): add a safeguard under Win32 to
646 649 protect against a bug in Python's execfile(). Closes #123.
647 650
648 651 2007-04-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
649 652
650 653 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): ensure that when splitting
651 654 user input, the part that can be treated as a python name is pure
652 655 ascii (Python identifiers MUST be pure ascii). Part of the
653 656 ongoing Unicode support work.
654 657
655 658 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Add \N for the
656 659 actual prompt number, without any coloring. This allows users to
657 660 produce numbered prompts with their own colors. Added after a
658 661 report/request by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
659 662
660 663 2007-03-31 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
661 664
662 665 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Map the return key
663 666 to enter() and shift-return to enterattr().
664 667
665 668 2007-03-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
666 669
667 670 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): add unicode support by
668 671 encoding to ascii the input, since this routine also only deals
669 672 with valid Python names. Fixes a bug reported by Stefan.
670 673
671 674 2007-03-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
672 675
673 676 * IPython/Magic.py (_inspect): convert unicode input into ascii
674 677 before trying to evaluate it as a Python identifier. This fixes a
675 678 problem that the new unicode support had introduced when analyzing
676 679 long definition lines for functions.
677 680
678 681 2007-03-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
679 682
680 683 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Fix picking. Using
681 684 igrid with wxPython 2.6 and -wthread should work now.
682 685 igrid.display() simply tries to create a frame without
683 686 an application. Only if this fails an application is created.
684 687
685 688 2007-03-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
686 689
687 690 * IPython/Extensions/path.py: Updated to version 2.2.
688 691
689 692 2007-03-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
690 693
691 694 * iplib.py: recursive alias expansion now works better, so that
692 695 cases like 'top' -> 'd:/cygwin/top' -> 'ls :/cygwin/top'
693 696 doesn't trip up the process, if 'd' has been aliased to 'ls'.
694 697
695 698 * Extensions/ipy_gnuglobal.py added, provides %global magic
696 699 for users of http://www.gnu.org/software/global
697 700
698 701 * iplib.py: '!command /?' now doesn't invoke IPython's help system.
699 702 Closes #52. Patch by Stefan van der Walt.
700 703
701 704 2007-03-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
702 705
703 706 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): Small fix to
704 707 respect the __file__ attribute when using %run. Thanks to a bug
705 708 report by Sebastian Rooks <sebastian.rooks-AT-free.fr>.
706 709
707 710 2007-03-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
708 711
709 712 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): Fix mishandling of unicode at
710 713 input. Patch sent by Stefan.
711 714
712 715 2007-03-20 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
713 716 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completer.py
714 717 shlex_split, fix bug in shlex_split. len function
715 718 call was missing an if statement. Caused shlex_split to
716 719 sometimes return "" as last element.
717 720
718 721 2007-03-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
719 722
720 723 * IPython/completer.py
721 724 (IPCompleter.file_matches.single_dir_expand): fix a problem
722 725 reported by Stefan, where directories containign a single subdir
723 726 would be completed too early.
724 727
725 728 * IPython/Shell.py (_load_pylab): Make the execution of 'from
726 729 pylab import *' when -pylab is given be optional. A new flag,
727 730 pylab_import_all controls this behavior, the default is True for
728 731 backwards compatibility.
729 732
730 733 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_formatTracebackLines): Added (slightly
731 734 modified) R. Bernstein's patch for fully syntax highlighted
732 735 tracebacks. The functionality is also available under ultraTB for
733 736 non-ipython users (someone using ultraTB but outside an ipython
734 737 session). They can select the color scheme by setting the
735 738 module-level global DEFAULT_SCHEME. The highlight functionality
736 739 also works when debugging.
737 740
738 741 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.close): small patch by
739 742 R. Bernstein for improved pydb support.
740 743
741 744 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): Added patch by
742 745 DaveS <davls@telus.net> to improve support of debugging under
743 746 NTEmacs, including improved pydb behavior.
744 747
745 748 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix saving of profile info for
746 749 Python 2.5, where the stats object API changed a little. Thanks
747 750 to a bug report by Paul Smith <paul.smith-AT-catugmt.com>.
748 751
749 752 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (InputTermColors.Normal): applied Nicolas
750 753 Pernetty's patch to improve support for (X)Emacs under Win32.
751 754
752 755 2007-03-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
753 756
754 757 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): ipmort WX with current semantics
755 758 to quiet a deprecation warning that fires with Wx 2.8. Thanks to
756 759 a report by Nik Tautenhahn.
757 760
758 761 2007-03-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
759 762
760 763 * setup.py: Add the igrid help files to the list of data files
761 764 to be installed alongside igrid.
762 765 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: (Patch by Nik Tautenhahn)
763 766 Show the input object of the igrid browser as the window tile.
764 767 Show the object the cursor is on in the statusbar.
765 768
766 769 2007-03-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
767 770
768 771 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: Fixed exception
769 772 on mismatching quotes in %run completer. Patch by
770 773 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson. Closes #127.
771 774
772 775 2007-03-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
773 776
774 777 * Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Do not do auto_alias
775 778 in %rehashdir, it clobbers %store'd aliases.
776 779
777 780 * UserConfig/ipy_profile_sh.py: envpersist.py extension
778 781 (beefed up %env) imported for sh profile.
779 782
780 783 2007-03-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
781 784
782 785 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Prefer ibrowse over igrid
783 786 as the default browser.
784 787 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Make a few igrid attributes private.
785 788 As igrid displays all attributes it ever encounters, fetch() (which has
786 789 been renamed to _fetch()) doesn't have to recalculate the display attributes
787 790 every time a new item is fetched. This should speed up scrolling.
788 791
789 792 2007-03-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
790 793
791 794 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix for Alex
792 795 Schmolck's recently reported tab-completion bug (my previous one
793 796 had a problem). Patch by Dan Milstein <danmil-AT-comcast.net>.
794 797
795 798 2007-03-09 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
796 799
797 800 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Patch by Nik Tautenhahn:
798 801 Close help window if exiting igrid.
799 802
800 803 2007-03-02 JοΏ½rgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson@bostream.nu>
801 804
802 805 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_defaults.py: Check if readline is available
803 806 before calling functions from readline.
804 807
805 808 2007-03-02 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
806 809
807 810 * IPython/Extensions/igrid.py: Add Nik Tautenhahns igrid extension.
808 811 igrid is a wxPython-based display object for ipipe. If your system has
809 812 wx installed igrid will be the default display. Without wx ipipe falls
810 813 back to ibrowse (which needs curses). If no curses is installed ipipe
811 814 falls back to idump.
812 815
813 816 2007-03-01 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
814 817
815 818 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
816 819 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
817 820 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
818 821 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.
819 822
820 823 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
821 824
822 825 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
823 826 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
824 827 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
825 828 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
826 829 %magic with explicit % prefix.
827 830
828 831 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
829 832
830 833 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
831 834 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
832 835
833 836 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
834 837
835 838 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
836 839 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
837 840 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
838 841 one wants those instead.
839 842
840 843 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
841 844 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
842 845 instead.
843 846
844 847 2007-02-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
845 848
846 849 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
847 850 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
848 851 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
849 852 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)
850 853
851 854 2007-02-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
852 855
853 856 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.re_stop): make dashes optional in demo
854 857 stop marks.
855 858 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
856 859 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
857 860 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.
858 861
859 862 2007-02-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
860 863
861 864 * IPython/irunner.py (pexpect_monkeypatch): patch pexpect to
862 865 protect against exceptions at Python shutdown time. Patch
863 866 sumbmitted to upstream.
864 867
865 868 2007-02-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
866 869
867 870 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If entering the first object level
868 871 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
869 872 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
870 873 running into an empty levels list later.
871 874
872 875 2007-02-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
873 876
874 877 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Add an xrepr implementation
875 878 for the noitem object.
876 879
877 880 2007-01-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
878 881
879 882 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): Fix small
880 883 tab-completion bug with Enthought Traits objects with units.
881 884 Thanks to a bug report by Tom Denniston
882 885 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.
883 886
884 887 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
885 888
886 889 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
887 890 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
888 891 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
889 892 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
890 893 filenames.
891 894
892 895 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
893 896 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
894 897 out-of-process ipython code.
895 898
896 899 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
897 900 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
898 901 doctesting.
899 902
900 903 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.
901 904
902 905 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
903 906
904 907 * IPython/irunner.py (main): fix small bug where extensions were
905 908 not being correctly recognized.
906 909
907 910 2007-01-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
908 911
909 912 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
910 913 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
911 914 only item.
912 915
913 916 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
914 917 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
915 918 infinite recursion for one line strings).
916 919
917 920 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
918 921
919 922 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
920 923 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
921 924 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
922 925
923 926 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
924 927
925 928 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
926 929 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
927 930 "%env VISUAL=jed".
928 931
929 932 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
930 933
931 934 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
932 935 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
933 936 but I'm not exactly sure why).
934 937
935 938 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
936 939 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
937 940
938 941 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
939 942
940 943 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
941 944 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
942 945
943 946 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
944 947 the time during IPython startup is spent.
945 948
946 949 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
947 950
948 951 * 0.7.3 is out - merge all from 0.7.3 branch to trunk
949 952
950 953 * ipapi.py: Add new ipapi method, expand_alias.
951 954
952 955 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
953 956
954 957 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
955 958
956 959 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
957 960 to work properly on posix too
958 961
959 962 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
960 963
961 964 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
962 965
963 966 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
964 967 prefix + "/scripts".
965 968
966 969 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
967 970
968 971 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
969 972
970 973 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
971 974 if they already exist
972 975
973 976 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
974 977
975 978 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
976 979
977 980 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
978 981
979 982 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
980 983
981 984 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
982 985 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
983 986 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
984 987
985 988 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
986 989
987 990 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
988 991 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
989 992 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
990 993
991 994 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
992 995 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
993 996 in ipy_user_conf.py
994 997
995 998
996 999 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
997 1000 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
998 1001 as IPython script.
999 1002
1000 1003 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
1001 1004
1002 1005 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1003 1006
1004 1007 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
1005 1008 is called before any exception has occurred.
1006 1009
1007 1010 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1008 1011
1009 1012 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
1010 1013 to translate /'s to \'s again.
1011 1014
1012 1015 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
1013 1016 backslash.
1014 1017
1015 1018 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
1016 1019
1017 1020 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1018 1021
1019 1022 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
1020 1023 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
1021 1024 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
1022 1025
1023 1026 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
1024 1027 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
1025 1028
1026 1029 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
1027 1030 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
1028 1031
1029 1032 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
1030 1033
1031 1034 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1032 1035
1033 1036 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
1034 1037 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
1035 1038
1036 1039 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1037 1040 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
1038 1041 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
1039 1042 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
1040 1043 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
1041 1044 mapped to "%" now.
1042 1045 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
1043 1046
1044 1047 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1045 1048
1046 1049 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
1047 1050 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
1048 1051 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
1049 1052 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
1050 1053
1051 1054 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1052 1055
1053 1056 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
1054 1057 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
1055 1058 for shell escapes.
1056 1059
1057 1060 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1058 1061
1059 1062 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
1060 1063 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
1061 1064 vcs_completer.
1062 1065
1063 1066 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1064 1067
1065 1068 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
1066 1069 directly instead!
1067 1070
1068 1071 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
1069 1072
1070 1073 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
1071 1074 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
1072 1075
1073 1076 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
1074 1077 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
1075 1078 explicit.
1076 1079
1077 1080 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
1078 1081 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
1079 1082
1080 1083 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
1081 1084
1082 1085 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
1083 1086
1084 1087 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1085 1088 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
1086 1089 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
1087 1090 implementation for Text is useless.
1088 1091
1089 1092 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
1090 1093
1091 1094 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
1092 1095
1093 1096 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1094 1097
1095 1098 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
1096 1099 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python

1100 1103
1101 1104 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
1102 1105 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
1103 1106
1104 1107 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
1105 1108 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
1106 1109
1107 1110
1108 1111 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1109 1112 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
1110 1113 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
1111 1114
1112 1115 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1113 1116
1114 1117 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
1115 1118 with one from UserConfig.
1116 1119
1117 1120 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
1118 1121 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
1119 1122
1120 1123 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
1121 1124 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
1122 1125 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
1123 1126
1124 1127 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
1125 1128
1126 1129 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
1127 1130
1128 1131 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
1129 1132
1130 1133 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
1131 1134
1132 1135 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
1133 1136
1134 1137 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
1135 1138
1136 1139 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
1137 1140
1138 1141 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1139 1142
1140 1143 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
1141 1144 by eval of expr with dots.
1142 1145
1143 1146 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1144 1147
1145 1148 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
1146 1149 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
1147 1150 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
1148 1151 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
1149 1152 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
1150 1153 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
1151 1154
1152 1155 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1153 1156
1154 1157 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
1155 1158 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
1156 1159 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
1157 1160
1158 1161 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
1159 1162 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
1160 1163 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
1161 1164 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
1162 1165 funtionality in ipconfig.
1163 1166
1164 1167 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
1165 1168 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
1166 1169 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
1167 1170 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.
1168 1171
1169 1172 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1170 1173
1171 1174 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
1172 1175 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
1173 1176 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
1174 1177 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
1175 1178 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
1176 1179 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
1177 1180 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
1178 1181 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
1179 1182 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
1180 1183 descriptors.
1181 1184
1182 1185 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
1183 1186 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
1184 1187
1185 1188 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
1186 1189 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
1187 1190
1188 1191 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
1189 1192
1190 1193 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
1191 1194
1192 1195 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1193 1196
1194 1197 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
1195 1198 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
1196 1199 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
1197 1200
1198 1201 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
1199 1202 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
1200 1203 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
1201 1204
1202 1205 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
1203 1206 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
1204 1207 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
1205 1208 ipy_stock_completers.
1206 1209
1207 1210 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1208 1211
1209 1212 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
1210 1213
1211 1214 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
1212 1215 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
1213 1216 when filtering possible completions.
1214 1217
1215 1218 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
1216 1219
1217 1220 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
1218 1221 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
1219 1222 function
1220 1223
1221 1224
1222 1225 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1223 1226
1224 1227 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
1225 1228 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
1226 1229 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
1227 1230 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
1228 1231 SVN completer.
1229 1232
1230 1233 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
1231 1234 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
1232 1235 name is %led.
1233 1236
1234 1237 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1235 1238
1236 1239 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
1237 1240 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
1238 1241 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
1239 1242
1240 1243 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
1241 1244 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
1242 1245 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
1243 1246 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
1244 1247 hook name is 'complete_command'.
1245 1248
1246 1249 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1247 1250
1248 1251 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
1249 1252 Numeric leftovers.
1250 1253
1251 1254 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
1252 1255 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
1253 1256
1254 1257 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
1255 1258 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
1256 1259
1257 1260 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
1258 1261 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
1259 1262
1260 1263 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
1261 1264 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
1262 1265 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
1263 1266
1264 1267 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1265 1268
1266 1269 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
1267 1270 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
1268 1271 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
1269 1272
1270 1273 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
1271 1274 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
1272 1275
1273 1276 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1274 1277
1275 1278 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
1276 1279 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
1277 1280 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
1278 1281
1279 1282 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1280 1283
1281 1284 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
1282 1285 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
1283 1286 internal crash handler.
1284 1287
1285 1288 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
1286 1289 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
1287 1290 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
1288 1291 at the request of SAGE.
1289 1292
1290 1293 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1291 1294
1292 1295 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
1293 1296 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
1294 1297
1295 1298 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
1296 1299 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
1297 1300 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
1298 1301 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
1299 1302
1300 1303 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
1301 1304 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
1302 1305 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
1303 1306
1304 1307 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1305 1308
1306 1309 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
1307 1310 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
1308 1311 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
1309 1312
1310 1313 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
1311 1314 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
1312 1315
1313 1316 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1314 1317
1315 1318 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
1316 1319 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
1317 1320 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
1318 1321 Stefan.
1319 1322
1320 1323 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1321 1324
1322 1325 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
1323 1326 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
1324 1327 sys.stdout.close().
1325 1328
1326 1329 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1327 1330
1328 1331 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
1329 1332 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
1330 1333 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
1331 1334 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
1332 1335
1333 1336 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
1334 1337 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
1335 1338 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
1336 1339
1337 1340 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
1338 1341 2.5.
1339 1342
1340 1343 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
1341 1344 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
1342 1345 interactively.
1343 1346
1344 1347 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1345 1348
1346 1349 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
1347 1350 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
1348 1351
1349 1352 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1350 1353
1351 1354 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
1352 1355 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
1353 1356 or only files.
1354 1357
1355 1358 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1356 1359
1357 1360 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
1358 1361 they broke unittest
1359 1362
1360 1363 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1361 1364
1362 1365 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
1363 1366 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
1364 1367 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
1365 1368 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
1366 1369
1367 1370 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1368 1371
1369 1372 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
1370 1373 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
1371 1374 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
1372 1375 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
1373 1376 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
1374 1377
1375 1378 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1376 1379
1377 1380 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
1378 1381 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
1379 1382
1380 1383 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1381 1384
1382 1385 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
1383 1386 the mode argument).
1384 1387
1385 1388 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1386 1389
1387 1390 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
1388 1391 not running under IPython.
1389 1392
1390 1393 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
1391 1394 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
1392 1395 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
1393 1396 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
1394 1397 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
1395 1398 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
1396 1399 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
1397 1400 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
1398 1401 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
1399 1402 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
1400 1403 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
1401 1404 are still supported.
1402 1405
1403 1406 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
1404 1407 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
1405 1408 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
1406 1409 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
1407 1410
1408 1411 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
1409 1412 encoding into methods.
1410 1413
1411 1414 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1412 1415
1413 1416 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
1414 1417 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
1415 1418
1416 1419 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1417 1420
1418 1421 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
1419 1422 non existing attributes.
1420 1423
1421 1424 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1422 1425
1423 1426 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
1424 1427 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
1425 1428
1426 1429 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1427 1430
1428 1431 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
1429 1432 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
1430 1433
1431 1434 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1432 1435
1433 1436 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
1434 1437 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
1435 1438 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
1436 1439
1437 1440 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1438 1441
1439 1442 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
1440 1443 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
1441 1444 Stefan van der Walt.
1442 1445
1443 1446 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1444 1447
1445 1448 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
1446 1449 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
1447 1450
1448 1451 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1449 1452
1450 1453 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
1451 1454 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
1452 1455 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
1453 1456
1454 1457 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1455 1458
1456 1459 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
1457 1460 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
1458 1461 attributes.

1460 1463 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1461 1464
1462 1465 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
1463 1466 commands into the methods implementing them.
1464 1467
1465 1468 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1466 1469
1467 1470 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
1468 1471 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
1469 1472 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
1470 1473
1471 1474 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1472 1475
1473 1476 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
1474 1477 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
1475 1478
1476 1479 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1477 1480
1478 1481 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
1479 1482 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
1480 1483
1481 1484 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1482 1485
1483 1486 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
1484 1487 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
1485 1488 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
1486 1489 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
1487 1490 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
1488 1491 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
1489 1492 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
1490 1493 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
1491 1494 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
1492 1495 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
1493 1496 the x key to "delete".
1494 1497
1495 1498 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1496 1499
1497 1500 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
1498 1501 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
1499 1502 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
1500 1503 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
1501 1504
1502 1505 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
1503 1506 prompt
1504 1507
1505 1508 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
1506 1509
1507 1510 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1508 1511
1509 1512 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
1510 1513 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
1511 1514 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
1512 1515 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
1513 1516
1514 1517 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1515 1518
1516 1519 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
1517 1520 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
1518 1521 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
1519 1522 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
1520 1523 doesn't work properly yet.
1521 1524
1522 1525 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1523 1526
1524 1527 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
1525 1528 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
1526 1529 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
1527 1530
1528 1531 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
1529 1532
1530 1533 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
1531 1534 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
1532 1535 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
1533 1536 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
1534 1537 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
1535 1538 execute commands.
1536 1539
1537 1540 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1538 1541
1539 1542 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
1540 1543 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
1541 1544
1542 1545 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1543 1546
1544 1547 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
1545 1548 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
1546 1549
1547 1550 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1548 1551
1549 1552 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
1550 1553 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
1551 1554 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
1552 1555
1553 1556 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
1554 1557
1555 1558 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1556 1559
1557 1560 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
1558 1561 Repo tagged and release cut.
1559 1562
1560 1563 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1561 1564
1562 1565 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
1563 1566 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
1564 1567
1565 1568 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
1566 1569 (for %upgrade)
1567 1570
1568 1571 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1569 1572
1570 1573 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
1571 1574 instead of looping 20 times.
1572 1575
1573 1576 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
1574 1577 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
1575 1578 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
1576 1579
1577 1580 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
1578 1581 testing for release on 06/06.
1579 1582
1580 1583 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1581 1584
1582 1585 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
1583 1586 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
1584 1587 live in people's PATH.
1585 1588
1586 1589 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
1587 1590 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
1588 1591 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
1589 1592 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
1590 1593 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
1591 1594
1592 1595 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
1593 1596 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
1594 1597
1595 1598 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1596 1599
1597 1600 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
1598 1601 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
1599 1602
1600 1603 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1601 1604
1602 1605 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
1603 1606 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
1604 1607 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
1605 1608
1606 1609 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1607 1610
1608 1611 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
1609 1612 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
1610 1613 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
1611 1614 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
1612 1615
1613 1616 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
1614 1617 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
1615 1618 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
1616 1619 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
1617 1620
1618 1621 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
1619 1622 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
1620 1623 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
1621 1624 work.
1622 1625
1623 1626 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1624 1627
1625 1628 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
1626 1629 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
1627 1630
1628 1631 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
1629 1632 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
1630 1633 author William Stein.
1631 1634
1632 1635 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
1633 1636 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
1634 1637 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
1635 1638 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
1636 1639 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
1637 1640 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
1638 1641 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
1639 1642 objects more easily.
1640 1643
1641 1644 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1642 1645
1643 1646 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
1644 1647 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
1645 1648 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
1646 1649 by Jeffrey Collins.
1647 1650
1648 1651 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
1649 1652 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
1650 1653 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
1651 1654 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
1652 1655
1653 1656 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
1654 1657 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
1655 1658 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
1656 1659 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
1657 1660
1658 1661 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
1659 1662 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
1660 1663 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
1661 1664 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
1662 1665 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
1663 1666 compatibility)
1664 1667
1665 1668 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
1666 1669 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
1667 1670 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
1668 1671
1669 1672 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
1670 1673 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
1671 1674 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
1672 1675 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
1673 1676 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
1674 1677
1675 1678 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
1676 1679 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
1677 1680 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
1678 1681
1679 1682 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
1680 1683 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
1681 1684 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
1682 1685 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
1683 1686 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
1684 1687 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
1685 1688 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
1686 1689
1687 1690 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
1688 1691 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
1689 1692 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
1690 1693
1691 1694 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
1692 1695 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
1693 1696 it is a real module. Closes #59.
1694 1697
1695 1698 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
1696 1699 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
1697 1700
1698 1701 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1699 1702
1700 1703 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
1701 1704 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
1702 1705 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
1703 1706 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
1704 1707 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
1705 1708 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
1706 1709 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
1707 1710 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
1708 1711 while running under SAGE.
1709 1712
1710 1713 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1711 1714
1712 1715 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
1713 1716 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
1714 1717 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
1715 1718 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
1716 1719
1717 1720 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1718 1721
1719 1722 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
1720 1723 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
1721 1724 updated.
1722 1725
1723 1726 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
1724 1727 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
1725 1728 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
1726 1729 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
1727 1730 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
1728 1731
1729 1732 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
1730 1733 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
1731 1734 so more testing is needed...
1732 1735
1733 1736 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1734 1737
1735 1738 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
1736 1739 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
1737 1740 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
1738 1741 when doing complex debugging.
1739 1742 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
1740 1743 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
1741 1744 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
1742 1745 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
1743 1746
1744 1747 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1745 1748
1746 1749 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
1747 1750 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
1748 1751 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
1749 1752 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
1750 1753
1751 1754 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1752 1755
1753 1756 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
1754 1757 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
1755 1758
1756 1759 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1757 1760
1758 1761 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
1759 1762 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
1760 1763 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
1761 1764 been the one to acquire it.
1762 1765
1763 1766 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1764 1767
1765 1768 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
1766 1769
1767 1770 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1768 1771
1769 1772 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
1770 1773 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
1771 1774 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
1772 1775
1773 1776 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
1774 1777 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
1775 1778 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
1776 1779 properly flush the output cache.
1777 1780
1778 1781 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
1779 1782 half-success (and fail explicitly).
1780 1783
1781 1784 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1782 1785
1783 1786 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
1784 1787 are quoted
1785 1788
1786 1789 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1787 1790
1788 1791 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
1789 1792 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
1790 1793
1791 1794 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
1792 1795 separator, since space is legal in path names.
1793 1796
1794 1797 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1795 1798
1796 1799 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
1797 1800 %upgrade magic
1798 1801
1799 1802 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
1800 1803
1801 1804 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
1802 1805 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
1803 1806 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1804 1807
1805 1808 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1806 1809
1807 1810 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by

1809 1812
1810 1813 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1811 1814 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1812 1815 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1813 1816 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1814 1817 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1815 1818
1816 1819 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1817 1820
1818 1821 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1819 1822 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1820 1823
1821 1824 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1822 1825
1823 1826 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1824 1827 Torsten Marek.
1825 1828
1826 1829 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1827 1830
1828 1831 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1829 1832 line ranges works again.
1830 1833
1831 1834 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1832 1835
1833 1836 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1834 1837 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1835 1838 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1836 1839 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1837 1840 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1838 1841
1839 1842 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1840 1843 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1841 1844 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1842 1845 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1843 1846 more.
1844 1847
1845 1848 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1846 1849
1847 1850 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1848 1851 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1849 1852
1850 1853 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1851 1854
1852 1855 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1853 1856 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1854 1857
1855 1858 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1856 1859
1857 1860 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1858 1861
1859 1862 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1860 1863
1861 1864 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1862 1865
1863 1866 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1864 1867 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1865 1868 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1866 1869
1867 1870 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1868 1871
1869 1872 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1870 1873 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1871 1874 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1872 1875 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1873 1876
1874 1877 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1875 1878 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1876 1879
1877 1880 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1878 1881 contributed by marienz to close
1879 1882 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1880 1883
1881 1884 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1882 1885
1883 1886 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1884 1887
1885 1888 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1886 1889 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1887 1890 nonsense.
1888 1891
1889 1892 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1890 1893
1891 1894 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1892 1895 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1893 1896
1894 1897 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1895 1898
1896 1899 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1897 1900
1898 1901 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1899 1902 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1900 1903
1901 1904 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1902 1905
1903 1906 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1904 1907 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1905 1908 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1906 1909 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1907 1910 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1908 1911 SAGE team.
1909 1912 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1910 1913 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1911 1914
1912 1915 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1913 1916 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1914 1917 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1915 1918 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1916 1919 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1917 1920
1918 1921 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1919 1922
1920 1923 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1921 1924 correctly now (on Linux)
1922 1925
1923 1926 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1924 1927 warnings
1925 1928
1926 1929 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1927 1930
1928 1931 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1929 1932
1930 1933
1931 1934 2006-01-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1932 1935
1933 1936 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1934 1937 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1935 1938 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1936 1939 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1937 1940 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1938 1941 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1939 1942 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1940 1943 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1941 1944
1942 1945 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1943 1946
1944 1947 * aliases can now be %store'd
1945 1948
1946 1949 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1947 1950 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1948 1951 at __init__.
1949 1952
1950 1953 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1951 1954 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1952 1955
1953 1956 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1954 1957
1955 1958 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1956 1959 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1957 1960 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1958 1961
1959 1962 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1960 1963
1961 1964 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1962 1965
1963 1966 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1964 1967
1965 1968 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1966 1969 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1967 1970 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1968 1971 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1969 1972
1970 1973 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1971 1974 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1972 1975
1973 1976 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1974 1977
1975 1978 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1976 1979 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1977 1980 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1978 1981 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1979 1982
1980 1983 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1981 1984 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1982 1985 usage.
1983 1986
1984 1987 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1985 1988 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1986 1989 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1987 1990
1988 1991 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1989 1992
1990 1993 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1991 1994 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1992 1995
1993 1996 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1994 1997 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1995 1998 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1996 1999
1997 2000 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1998 2001
1999 2002 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
2000 2003
2001 2004 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
2002 2005
2003 2006 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
2004 2007 are now more helpful:
2005 2008 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
2006 2009
2007 2010 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2008 2011
2009 2012 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
2010 2013 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
2011 2014
2012 2015 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2013 2016
2014 2017 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
2015 2018 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
2016 2019
2017 2020 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
2018 2021 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
2019 2022 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
2020 2023
2021 2024 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
2022 2025
2023 2026
2024 2027 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2025 2028
2026 2029 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
2027 2030 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
2028 2031
2029 2032 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
2030 2033
2031 2034 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
2032 2035 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
2033 2036 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
2034 2037 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
2035 2038 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
2036 2039 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
2037 2040
2038 2041 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2039 2042
2040 2043 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2041 2044 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2042 2045 \python24\scripts).
2043 2046
2044 2047 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2045 2048 egg.
2046 2049
2047 2050 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2048 2051
2049 2052 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
2050 2053
2051 2054 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2052 2055
2053 2056 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
2054 2057
2055 2058 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
2056 2059
2057 2060 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
2058 2061 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
2059 2062 \python24\scripts).
2060 2063
2061 2064 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
2062 2065 egg.
2063 2066
2064 2067 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2065 2068
2066 2069 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
2067 2070 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
2068 2071 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
2069 2072
2070 2073 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
2071 2074 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
2072 2075 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
2073 2076 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
2074 2077
2075 2078 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
2076 2079 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
2077 2080 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
2078 2081 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
2079 2082 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
2080 2083 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
2081 2084 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
2082 2085 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
2083 2086 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
2084 2087 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
2085 2088 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
2086 2089 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
2087 2090
2088 2091 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2089 2092
2090 2093 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
2091 2094 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
2092 2095 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
2093 2096 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
2094 2097
2095 2098 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2096 2099
2097 2100 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
2098 2101 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
2099 2102 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
2100 2103 importing extensions easy.
2101 2104
2102 2105 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
2103 2106 classes / instances of those classes.
2104 2107
2105 2108 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
2106 2109 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
2107 2110 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
2108 2111 the user.
2109 2112
2110 2113 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
2111 2114 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
2112 2115 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
2113 2116
2114 2117 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2115 2118
2116 2119 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
2117 2120 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
2118 2121 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
2119 2122 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
2120 2123 others may also catch any problems. Also made
2121 2124 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
2122 2125 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
2123 2126 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
2124 2127 the method.
2125 2128
2126 2129 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2127 2130
2128 2131 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
2129 2132 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
2130 2133
2131 2134 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2132 2135
2133 2136 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
2134 2137 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
2135 2138 Vivian.
2136 2139
2137 2140 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
2138 2141 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
2139 2142 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
2140 2143 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
2141 2144 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
2142 2145
2143 2146 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2144 2147
2145 2148 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
2146 2149 that returns file contents on exit.
2147 2150
2148 2151 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
2149 2152 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
2150 2153 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
2151 2154 sc files=ls
2152 2155 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
2153 2156 print p,p.mtime
2154 2157
2155 2158 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
2156 2159 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
2157 2160 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
2158 2161 instead of syntax error.
2159 2162
2160 2163
2161 2164 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2162 2165
2163 2166 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
2164 2167 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
2165 2168 data.
2166 2169
2167 2170 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
2168 2171 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
2169 2172 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
2170 2173 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
2171 2174
2172 2175 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
2173 2176 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
2174 2177 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
2175 2178 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
2176 2179 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
2177 2180 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
2178 2181
2179 2182 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2180 2183
2181 2184 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
2182 2185 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
2183 2186 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
2184 2187 current dir.
2185 2188
2186 2189 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
2187 2190 had to create new files.
2188 2191
2189 2192 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
2190 2193 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
2191 2194 future.
2192 2195
2193 2196 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
2194 2197 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
2195 2198 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
2196 2199
2197 2200
2198 2201 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2199 2202
2200 2203 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
2201 2204 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
2202 2205 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
2203 2206 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
2204 2207 later.
2205 2208
2206 2209 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
2207 2210 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
2208 2211
2209 2212 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2210 2213
2211 2214 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
2212 2215 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
2213 2216 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
2214 2217 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
2215 2218 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
2216 2219 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
2217 2220
2218 2221 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
2219 2222
2220 2223 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
2221 2224 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
2222 2225 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
2223 2226 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
2224 2227 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
2225 2228 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
2226 2229 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
2227 2230 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
2228 2231 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
2229 2232 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
2230 2233
2231 2234 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
2232 2235 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
2233 2236 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
2234 2237 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
2235 2238
2236 2239 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
2237 2240 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
2238 2241 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
2239 2242 "setup.py install" between changes).
2240 2243
2241 2244 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
2242 2245 if 1:
2243 2246 !ls
2244 2247 !!ls
2245 2248
2246 2249 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2247 2250
2248 2251 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
2249 2252 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
2250 2253 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
2251 2254 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
2252 2255
2253 2256 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
2254 2257 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
2255 2258 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
2256 2259
2257 2260 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2258 2261
2259 2262 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
2260 2263 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
2261 2264 win32.
2262 2265
2263 2266 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
2264 2267
2265 2268 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2266 2269
2267 2270 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
2268 2271 ready for release.
2269 2272
2270 2273 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
2271 2274 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
2272 2275 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
2273 2276 where to copy the info from.
2274 2277
2275 2278 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2276 2279
2277 2280 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
2278 2281 support in the release tools as well.
2279 2282
2280 2283 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2281 2284
2282 2285 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
2283 2286 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
2284 2287 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
2285 2288 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
2286 2289
2287 2290 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2288 2291 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
2289 2292 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
2290 2293
2291 2294 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
2292 2295 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
2293 2296
2294 2297 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
2295 2298 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
2296 2299 printer not to work.
2297 2300
2298 2301 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2299 2302
2300 2303 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
2301 2304 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
2302 2305
2303 2306 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2304 2307
2305 2308 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
2306 2309 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
2307 2310 Moad for help with tracking it down.
2308 2311
2309 2312 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
2310 2313 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
2311 2314 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
2312 2315
2313 2316 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
2314 2317 Ville's patch.
2315 2318
2316 2319 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2317 2320
2318 2321 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
2319 2322 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
2320 2323 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
2321 2324 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
2322 2325 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
2323 2326 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
2324 2327 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
2325 2328
2326 2329 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
2327 2330 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
2328 2331 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
2329 2332
2330 2333 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2331 2334
2332 2335 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
2333 2336 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
2334 2337
2335 2338 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
2336 2339 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
2337 2340 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
2338 2341 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
2339 2342 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
2340 2343 twister).
2341 2344
2342 2345 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
2343 2346 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
2344 2347 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
2345 2348
2346 2349 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
2347 2350 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
2348 2351 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
2349 2352 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
2350 2353 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
2351 2354 something inside the dis module.
2352 2355
2353 2356 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2354 2357
2355 2358 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
2356 2359 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
2357 2360 follows the discussion in
2358 2361 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
2359 2362
2360 2363 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
2361 2364 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
2362 2365 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
2363 2366
2364 2367 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
2365 2368 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
2366 2369 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
2367 2370
2368 2371 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
2369 2372 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
2370 2373 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
2371 2374 speed up this routine.
2372 2375
2373 2376 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
2374 2377 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
2375 2378 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
2376 2379 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
2377 2380 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
2378 2381 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
2379 2382 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
2380 2383 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
2381 2384
2382 2385 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
2383 2386 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
2384 2387 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
2385 2388
2386 2389 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
2387 2390 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
2388 2391 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
2389 2392 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
2390 2393 setters don't do anything).
2391 2394
2392 2395 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2393 2396
2394 2397 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
2395 2398 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
2396 2399 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
2397 2400 falling out of sync...)
2398 2401
2399 2402 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
2400 2403 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
2401 2404 as loops).
2402 2405
2403 2406 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
2404 2407 win32 system access.
2405 2408
2406 2409 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2407 2410
2408 2411 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
2409 2412 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
2410 2413 thread-safe.
2411 2414 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
2412 2415 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
2413 2416 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
2414 2417 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
2415 2418 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
2416 2419 can still happen.
2417 2420 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
2418 2421 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
2419 2422 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
2420 2423 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
2421 2424 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
2422 2425 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
2423 2426 cleanly.
2424 2427
2425 2428 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
2426 2429 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
2427 2430 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
2428 2431 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
2429 2432 users' persisted data.
2430 2433
2431 2434 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
2432 2435 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
2433 2436 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
2434 2437 multiline input (such as macros).
2435 2438
2436 2439 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
2437 2440 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
2438 2441 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
2439 2442 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
2440 2443 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
2441 2444 informative).
2442 2445
2443 2446 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
2444 2447 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
2445 2448
2446 2449 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
2447 2450 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
2448 2451 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
2449 2452
2450 2453 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
2451 2454 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
2452 2455 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
2453 2456 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
2454 2457 2.3-specific features quite yet).
2455 2458 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
2456 2459 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
2457 2460 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
2458 2461 details.
2459 2462
2460 2463 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2461 2464 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
2462 2465 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
2463 2466 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
2464 2467 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
2465 2468
2466 2469 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
2467 2470 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
2468 2471 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
2469 2472 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
2470 2473 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
2471 2474
2472 2475 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
2473 2476 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
2474 2477 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
2475 2478 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
2476 2479 options to %logstart. Closes
2477 2480 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
2478 2481 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
2479 2482
2480 2483 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2481 2484
2482 2485 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
2483 2486 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
2484 2487 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
2485 2488 list:
2486 2489 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
2487 2490
2488 2491 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
2489 2492
2490 2493 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
2491 2494 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
2492 2495 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
2493 2496 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
2494 2497
2495 2498 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
2496 2499 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
2497 2500 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
2498 2501 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
2499 2502 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
2500 2503
2501 2504 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
2502 2505 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
2503 2506 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
2504 2507 true by default.
2505 2508
2506 2509 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
2507 2510 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
2508 2511 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
2509 2512 a special role in the middle of the core code.
2510 2513
2511 2514 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2512 2515
2513 2516 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
2514 2517 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
2515 2518 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
2516 2519 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
2517 2520 version committed).
2518 2521
2519 2522 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
2520 2523 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
2521 2524 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
2522 2525 discussion on the user list.
2523 2526
2524 2527 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
2525 2528 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
2526 2529 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
2527 2530 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
2528 2531
2529 2532 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
2530 2533
2531 2534 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
2532 2535 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
2533 2536 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
2534 2537
2535 2538 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
2536 2539 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
2537 2540 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
2538 2541
2539 2542 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
2540 2543 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
2541 2544 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
2542 2545 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
2543 2546 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
2544 2547 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
2545 2548 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
2546 2549 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
2547 2550 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
2548 2551 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
2549 2552 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
2550 2553 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
2551 2554 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
2552 2555 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
2553 2556 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
2554 2557 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
2555 2558 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
2556 2559 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
2557 2560 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
2558 2561 branch refactoring.
2559 2562
2560 2563 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2561 2564
2562 2565 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
2563 2566 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
2564 2567
2565 2568 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
2566 2569 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
2567 2570 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
2568 2571 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
2569 2572 worked correctly).
2570 2573
2571 2574 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
2572 2575 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
2573 2576 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
2574 2577
2575 2578 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2576 2579
2577 2580 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
2578 2581 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
2579 2582 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
2580 2583 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
2581 2584 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
2582 2585 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
2583 2586 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
2584 2587 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
2585 2588
2586 2589 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2587 2590
2588 2591 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
2589 2592 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
2590 2593 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
2591 2594 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
2592 2595 on this.
2593 2596
2594 2597 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2595 2598
2596 2599 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
2597 2600 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
2598 2601 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
2599 2602 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
2600 2603 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
2601 2604
2602 2605 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2603 2606
2604 2607 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
2605 2608 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
2606 2609 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
2607 2610 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
2608 2611
2609 2612 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2610 2613
2611 2614 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
2612 2615 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
2613 2616 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
2614 2617
2615 2618 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2616 2619
2617 2620 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
2618 2621 startup time.
2619 2622
2620 2623 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
2621 2624 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
2622 2625 it's working in all cases.
2623 2626
2624 2627 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
2625 2628 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
2626 2629 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
2627 2630 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
2628 2631 per-search basis.
2629 2632
2630 2633 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2631 2634
2632 2635 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
2633 2636 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
2634 2637 of a patch by Jorgen.
2635 2638
2636 2639 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2637 2640
2638 2641 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
2639 2642 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
2640 2643 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
2641 2644
2642 2645 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2643 2646
2644 2647 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
2645 2648 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
2646 2649 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
2647 2650 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>
2648 2651
2649 2652 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2650 2653
2651 2654 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
2652 2655 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
2653 2656 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
2654 2657 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
2655 2658 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
2656 2659 implementing this functionality.
2657 2660
2658 2661 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2659 2662
2660 2663 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
2661 2664 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
2662 2665 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
2663 2666 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
2664 2667 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
2665 2668 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
2666 2669 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
2667 2670
2668 2671 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2669 2672
2670 2673 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
2671 2674 reported by Stephen Walton.
2672 2675
2673 2676 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2674 2677
2675 2678 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
2676 2679
2677 2680 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
2678 2681 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
2679 2682
2680 2683 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2681 2684
2682 2685 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
2683 2686 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
2684 2687
2685 2688 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
2686 2689 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
2687 2690
2688 2691 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2689 2692
2690 2693 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
2691 2694 finishing.
2692 2695
2693 2696 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
2694 2697 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
2695 2698
2696 2699 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
2697 2700 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
2698 2701 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
2699 2702
2700 2703 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
2701 2704 code, handy in general.
2702 2705
2703 2706 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
2704 2707 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
2705 2708 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
2706 2709
2707 2710 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2708 2711
2709 2712 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
2710 2713 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
2711 2714 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
2712 2715 testing, though.
2713 2716 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
2714 2717 like this before...
2715 2718
2716 2719 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
2717 2720 non-dirs in win32 registry.
2718 2721
2719 2722 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
2720 2723 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
2721 2724
2722 2725 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2723 2726
2724 2727 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
2725 2728 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
2726 2729 F. Mantegazza.
2727 2730
2728 2731 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2729 2732
2730 2733 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
2731 2734 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
2732 2735 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
2733 2736
2734 2737 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
2735 2738 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
2736 2739 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
2737 2740 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
2738 2741 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
2739 2742 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
2740 2743
2741 2744 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2742 2745
2743 2746 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
2744 2747 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
2745 2748 beyond readline-based environments.
2746 2749
2747 2750 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2748 2751
2749 2752 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
2750 2753
2751 2754 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
2752 2755 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
2753 2756 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
2754 2757 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
2755 2758 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
2756 2759
2757 2760 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2758 2761
2759 2762 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
2760 2763 contains non-string attribute. Closes
2761 2764 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
2762 2765
2763 2766 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2764 2767
2765 2768 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
2766 2769
2767 2770 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2768 2771
2769 2772 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
2770 2773 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
2771 2774 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
2772 2775 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
2773 2776 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
2774 2777 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
2775 2778
2776 2779 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
2777 2780
2778 2781 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
2779 2782
2780 2783 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2781 2784
2782 2785 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
2783 2786 invalid $HOME under win32.
2784 2787
2785 2788 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2786 2789
2787 2790 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
2788 2791 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
2789 2792 simpler and a bit faster.
2790 2793
2791 2794 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
2792 2795 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
2793 2796 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
2794 2797 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
2795 2798 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
2796 2799
2797 2800 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
2798 2801 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
2799 2802 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
2800 2803
2801 2804 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
2802 2805 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
2803 2806
2804 2807 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2805 2808 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2806 2809 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2807 2810 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2808 2811 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2809 2812 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2810 2813 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2811 2814
2812 2815 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2813 2816
2814 2817 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2815 2818
2816 2819 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2817 2820
2818 2821 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2819 2822 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2820 2823
2821 2824 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2822 2825
2823 2826 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2824 2827 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2825 2828 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2826 2829 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2827 2830 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2828 2831 for the contribution.
2829 2832
2830 2833 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2831 2834 slightly modified version of the patch in
2832 2835 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2833 2836 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2834 2837 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.

2836 2839 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2837 2840
2838 2841 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2839 2842 I/O a bit more.
2840 2843
2841 2844 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2842 2845 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2843 2846
2844 2847 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15

2846 2849 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2847 2850
2848 2851 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2849 2852 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2850 2853 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2851 2854 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2852 2855
2853 2856 readline_remove_delims -/~

2859 2862
2860 2863 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2861 2864 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2862 2865 <eli@gondolin.net>
2863 2866
2864 2867 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2865 2868
2866 2869 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2867 2870 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2868 2871
2869 2872 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2870 2873
2871 2874 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2872 2875 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2873 2876 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.

2876 2879
2877 2880 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2878 2881 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2879 2882
2880 2883 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2881 2884
2882 2885 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2883 2886 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2884 2887
2885 2888 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2886 2889 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2887 2890 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2888 2891 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2889 2892 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2890 2893 for more details.
2891 2894
2892 2895 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2893 2896 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2894 2897 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2895 2898 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2896 2899
2897 2900 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2898 2901
2899 2902 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2900 2903 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2901 2904 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2902 2905 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2903 2906 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2904 2907
2905 2908 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2906 2909 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2907 2910 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2908 2911
2909 2912 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2910 2913
2911 2914 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2912 2915
2913 2916 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2914 2917
2915 2918 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2916 2919 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2917 2920 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2918 2921 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2919 2922 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2920 2923
2921 2924 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2922 2925
2923 2926 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2924 2927
2925 2928 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2926 2929 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2927 2930 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2928 2931 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2929 2932 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2930 2933
2931 2934 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2932 2935 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2933 2936 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2934 2937 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2935 2938 take the text parameter.
2936 2939
2937 2940 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2938 2941 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2939 2942 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2940 2943 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2941 2944 pysh profile to include the line
2942 2945
2943 2946 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2944 2947
2945 2948 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2946 2949 delete pysh.py and the line
2947 2950
2948 2951 execfile pysh.py
2949 2952
2950 2953 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2951 2954
2952 2955 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2953 2956 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2954 2957 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2955 2958 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2956 2959 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2957 2960
2958 2961 * pysh.py:
2959 2962
2960 2963 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2961 2964
2962 2965 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2963 2966 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2964 2967 want it can still turn it off.
2965 2968
2966 2969 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2967 2970 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2968 2971 off by default.
2969 2972
2970 2973 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2971 2974 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2972 2975 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2973 2976 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2974 2977 calls.
2975 2978
2976 2979 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2977 2980
2978 2981 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2979 2982 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2980 2983 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2981 2984
2982 2985 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2983 2986
2984 2987 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2985 2988 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2986 2989 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2987 2990 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2988 2991
2989 2992 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2990 2993 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2991 2994 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2992 2995 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2993 2996
2994 2997 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2995 2998
2996 2999 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2997 3000 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2998 3001
2999 3002 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
3000 3003 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
3001 3004 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
3002 3005 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
3003 3006 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
3004 3007 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
3005 3008 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
3006 3009 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.
3007 3010
3008 3011 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3009 3012
3010 3013 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
3011 3014 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
3012 3015 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
3013 3016 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
3014 3017 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3015 3018 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3016 3019 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
3017 3020 add new completers at runtime.
3018 3021
3019 3022 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3020 3023
3021 3024 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
3022 3025 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
3023 3026 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
3024 3027 ? system.
3025 3028
3026 3029 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
3027 3030 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
3028 3031 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
3029 3032 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
3030 3033 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
3031 3034 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
3032 3035 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
3033 3036 conveninent, so not all is lost.
3034 3037
3035 3038 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
3036 3039
3037 3040 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
3038 3041 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
3039 3042 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
3040 3043 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
3041 3044 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
3042 3045
3043 3046 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
3044 3047 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
3045 3048 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
3046 3049 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
3047 3050 add:
3048 3051
3049 3052 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
3050 3053 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward
3051 3054
3052 3055 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3053 3056
3054 3057 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
3055 3058 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
3056 3059 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
3057 3060 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
3058 3061
3059 3062 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
3060 3063 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
3061 3064 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
3062 3065 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
3063 3066 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
3064 3067 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
3065 3068 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
3066 3069 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
3067 3070 further, simply bind them to any other name.
3068 3071
3069 3072 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3070 3073
3071 3074 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
3072 3075 prompt namespace handling.
3073 3076
3074 3077 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3075 3078
3076 3079 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
3077 3080 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
3078 3081 trips the emacs python mode).
3079 3082 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
3080 3083 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
3081 3084 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
3082 3085 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
3083 3086 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
3084 3087 calls will be made at runtime.
3085 3088
3086 3089 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3087 3090
3088 3091 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
3089 3092 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
3090 3093 the call to %history.
3091 3094
3092 3095 2005-03-02 *** Released version 0.6.12
3093 3096
3094 3097 2005-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3095 3098
3096 3099 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
3097 3100 ipmagic() function calls.
3098 3101
3099 3102 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
3100 3103 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
3101 3104
3102 3105 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3103 3106
3104 3107 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
3105 3108 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
3106 3109 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
3107 3110 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
3108 3111 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
3109 3112 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
3110 3113 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
3111 3114 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
3112 3115
3113 3116 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3114 3117
3115 3118 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
3116 3119 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
3117 3120 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
3118 3121 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
3119 3122 Ville Vainio.
3120 3123
3121 3124 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3122 3125
3123 3126 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
3124 3127 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
3125 3128 define the ones they personally like.
3126 3129
3127 3130 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3128 3131
3129 3132 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
3130 3133 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
3131 3134
3132 3135 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3133 3136
3134 3137 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
3135 3138 into keys (for prompts, for example).
3136 3139
3137 3140 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
3138 3141 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
3139 3142 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
3140 3143 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
3141 3144 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
3142 3145 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
3143 3146 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
3144 3147 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
3145 3148
3146 3149 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
3147 3150 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
3148 3151 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
3149 3152 modified version of the original Debian patch at
3150 3153 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.
3151 3154
3152 3155 2005-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3153 3156
3154 3157 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
3155 3158 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
3156 3159 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
3157 3160
3158 3161 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
3159 3162 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
3160 3163 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
3161 3164
3162 3165 2005-02-15 *** Released version 0.6.11
3163 3166
3164 3167 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3165 3168
3166 3169 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
3167 3170 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
3168 3171 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
3169 3172 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
3170 3173 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
3171 3174 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
3172 3175 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
3173 3176 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
3174 3177 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
3175 3178 system is a separate implementation).
3176 3179
3177 3180 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
3178 3181 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
3179 3182 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
3180 3183 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
3181 3184 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
3182 3185 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
3183 3186 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
3184 3187 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
3185 3188 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
3186 3189 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
3187 3190 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

3189 3192 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3190 3193
3191 3194 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
3192 3195 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
3193 3196 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
3194 3197 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
3195 3198 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
3196 3199 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
3197 3200 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
3198 3201 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).
3199 3202
3200 3203 2005-02-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3201 3204
3202 3205 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
3203 3206 previous call produced a syntax error.
3204 3207
3205 3208 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3206 3209 classes without constructor.
3207 3210
3208 3211 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3209 3212
3210 3213 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
3211 3214 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
3212 3215 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
3213 3216 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
3214 3217 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
3215 3218 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
3216 3219 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

3219 3222
3220 3223 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
3221 3224 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).

3225 3228 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
3226 3229 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
3227 3230 optimizations.
3228 3231
3229 3232 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
3230 3233 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
3231 3234
3232 3235 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3233 3236
3234 3237 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
3235 3238 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
3236 3239 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
3237 3240 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
3238 3241 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
3239 3242 avoid annoying the lists further.
3240 3243
3241 3244 2005-01-27 *** Released version 0.6.10
3242 3245
3243 3246 2005-01-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3244 3247
3245 3248 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
3246 3249 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
3247 3250 norm definitions.
3248 3251 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
3249 3252 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
3250 3253 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
3251 3254
3252 3255 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
3253 3256 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
3254 3257 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
3255 3258 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
3256 3259 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
3257 3260
3258 3261 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
3259 3262 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
3260 3263 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
3261 3264 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
3262 3265
3263 3266 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
3264 3267 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
3265 3268 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
3266 3269 fixes.
3267 3270
3268 3271 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
3269 3272 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
3270 3273 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
3271 3274 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
3272 3275 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
3273 3276 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
3274 3277 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.
3275 3278
3276 3279 2005-01-26 *** Released version 0.6.9
3277 3280
3278 3281 2005-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3279 3282
3280 3283 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
3281 3284 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
3282 3285 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
3283 3286 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
3284 3287 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
3285 3288 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
3286 3289 Panel.
3287 3290
3288 3291 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
3289 3292 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
3290 3293 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
3291 3294 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
3292 3295 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
3293 3296
3294 3297 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3295 3298
3296 3299 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
3297 3300 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.
3298 3301
3299 3302 2005-01-23 *** Released version 0.6.8
3300 3303
3301 3304 2005-01-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3302 3305
3303 3306 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
3304 3307 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
3305 3308 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
3306 3309 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
3307 3310 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
3308 3311 python shell.
3309 3312
3310 3313 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
3311 3314 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
3312 3315 on assignments. This closes
3313 3316 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
3314 3317 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
3315 3318 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.
3316 3319
3317 3320 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3318 3321
3319 3322 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.magic_run): Fix the %run
3320 3323 docstring under pylab so it doesn't mask the original.
3321 3324
3322 3325 2005-01-21 *** Released version 0.6.7
3323 3326
3324 3327 2005-01-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3325 3328
3326 3329 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Trap a crash with
3327 3330 signal handling for win32 users in multithreaded mode.
3328 3331
3329 3332 2005-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3330 3333
3331 3334 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
3332 3335 instances with no __init__. After a crash report by Norbert Nemec
3333 3336 <Norbert-AT-nemec-online.de>.
3334 3337
3335 3338 2005-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3336 3339
3337 3340 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix bug in reporting of
3338 3341 names for verbose exceptions, when multiple dotted names and the
3339 3342 'parent' object were present on the same line.
3340 3343
3341 3344 2005-01-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3342 3345
3343 3346 * IPython/genutils.py (flag_calls): new utility to trap and flag
3344 3347 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
3345 3348 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
3346 3349
3347 3350 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
3348 3351 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
3349 3352 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
3350 3353
3351 3354 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3352 3355
3353 3356 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
3354 3357 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
3355 3358
3356 3359 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3357 3360
3358 3361 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
3359 3362 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
3360 3363 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
3361 3364
3362 3365 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3363 3366
3364 3367 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
3365 3368 reported by Prabhu.
3366 3369 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
3367 3370 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
3368 3371 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
3369 3372
3370 3373 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
3371 3374 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
3372 3375
3373 3376 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
3374 3377 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
3375 3378 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
3376 3379 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
3377 3380 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
3378 3381 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
3379 3382
3380 3383 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
3381 3384
3382 3385 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3383 3386
3384 3387 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
3385 3388 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
3386 3389 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
3387 3390 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
3388 3391
3389 3392 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
3390 3393 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
3391 3394
3392 3395 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
3393 3396 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
3394 3397 typed at the IPython cmd line.
3395 3398 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
3396 3399 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
3397 3400 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
3398 3401 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
3399 3402
3400 3403 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
3401 3404 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
3402 3405 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
3403 3406
3404 3407 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
3405 3408 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
3406 3409 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
3407 3410 before.
3408 3411
3409 3412 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3410 3413
3411 3414 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
3412 3415 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
3413 3416 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
3414 3417 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
3415 3418
3416 3419 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
3417 3420 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
3418 3421 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
3419 3422 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
3420 3423 timing very short-running code.
3421 3424
3422 3425 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
3423 3426 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
3424 3427 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
3425 3428 utility.
3426 3429
3427 3430 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
3428 3431 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
3429 3432 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
3430 3433 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
3431 3434 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
3432 3435 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
3433 3436 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
3434 3437 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
3435 3438
3436 3439 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
3437 3440 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
3438 3441 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
3439 3442
3440 3443 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
3441 3444 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
3442 3445 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
3443 3446 is for).
3444 3447
3445 3448 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
3446 3449 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
3447 3450 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
3448 3451 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
3449 3452 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
3450 3453
3451 3454 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3452 3455
3453 3456 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
3454 3457 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
3455 3458 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
3456 3459 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
3457 3460 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
3458 3461
3459 3462 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
3460 3463 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
3461 3464 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
3462 3465 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
3463 3466 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
3464 3467 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
3465 3468
3466 3469 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3467 3470
3468 3471 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
3469 3472 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
3470 3473
3471 3474 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3472 3475
3473 3476 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
3474 3477 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
3475 3478 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
3476 3479 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
3477 3480
3478 3481 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
3479 3482
3480 3483 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3481 3484
3482 3485 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
3483 3486 setting with -d option.
3484 3487
3485 3488 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
3486 3489 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
3487 3490 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
3488 3491 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
3489 3492
3490 3493 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3491 3494
3492 3495 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
3493 3496 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
3494 3497
3495 3498 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
3496 3499 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
3497 3500 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
3498 3501 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
3499 3502 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
3500 3503 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
3501 3504 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
3502 3505 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
3503 3506 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
3504 3507 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
3505 3508 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
3506 3509
3507 3510 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3508 3511
3509 3512 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
3510 3513 cache when empty lines were present.
3511 3514
3512 3515 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3513 3516
3514 3517 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
3515 3518 options for WX and GTK.
3516 3519
3517 3520 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3518 3521
3519 3522 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
3520 3523 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
3521 3524 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
3522 3525 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
3523 3526 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
3524 3527 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
3525 3528 limitations, this is a great improvement.
3526 3529
3527 3530 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
3528 3531 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
3529 3532
3530 3533 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3531 3534
3532 3535 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
3533 3536 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
3534 3537 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
3535 3538 many thanks.
3536 3539
3537 3540 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
3538 3541 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
3539 3542 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
3540 3543
3541 3544 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3542 3545
3543 3546 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
3544 3547 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
3545 3548 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
3546 3549

3549 3552 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3550 3553
3551 3554 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
3552 3555 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
3553 3556 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
3554 3557
3555 3558 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3556 3559
3557 3560 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
3558 3561 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
3559 3562
3560 3563 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3561 3564
3562 3565 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
3563 3566 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
3564 3567 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
3565 3568 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
3566 3569 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
3567 3570 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
3568 3571 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3569 3572
3570 3573 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3571 3574
3572 3575 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
3573 3576 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
3574 3577 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
3575 3578 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
3576 3579
3577 3580 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
3578 3581 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
3579 3582
3580 3583 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3581 3584
3582 3585 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
3583 3586 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
3584 3587
3585 3588 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
3586 3589 use throughout ipython.
3587 3590
3588 3591 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
3589 3592 OInspect.getdoc() function.
3590 3593
3591 3594 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
3592 3595 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
3593 3596 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
3594 3597 handling cross-thread exceptions).
3595 3598
3596 3599 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3597 3600
3598 3601 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
3599 3602 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
3600 3603 report by Francesc Alted.
3601 3604
3602 3605 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3603 3606
3604 3607 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
3605 3608 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
3606 3609
3607 3610 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3608 3611
3609 3612 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
3610 3613 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
3611 3614 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
3612 3615 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
3613 3616 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
3614 3617 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
3615 3618 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
3616 3619 correctly set.
3617 3620
3618 3621 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3619 3622
3620 3623 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
3621 3624 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
3622 3625 import requirement of PEP-328.
3623 3626
3624 3627 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
3625 3628 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
3626 3629 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
3627 3630 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
3628 3631
3629 3632 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
3630 3633
3631 3634 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3632 3635
3633 3636 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
3634 3637 via a normal python function call.
3635 3638
3636 3639 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
3637 3640 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
3638 3641 2.4.
3639 3642
3640 3643 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3641 3644
3642 3645 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
3643 3646 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
3644 3647 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
3645 3648 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
3646 3649 is given to the user).
3647 3650
3648 3651 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3649 3652
3650 3653 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
3651 3654 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
3652 3655 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
3653 3656 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
3654 3657
3655 3658 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
3656 3659 python 2.2.
3657 3660
3658 3661 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
3659 3662 banner arg for embedded customization.
3660 3663
3661 3664 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
3662 3665 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
3663 3666 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
3664 3667 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
3665 3668 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
3666 3669 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
3667 3670
3668 3671 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
3669 3672 minor changes to debian dir.
3670 3673
3671 3674 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
3672 3675 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
3673 3676 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
3674 3677 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
3675 3678
3676 3679 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3677 3680
3678 3681 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
3679 3682 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
3680 3683 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
3681 3684 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
3682 3685 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
3683 3686
3684 3687 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3685 3688
3686 3689 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
3687 3690 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
3688 3691
3689 3692 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3690 3693
3691 3694 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
3692 3695 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
3693 3696
3694 3697 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
3695 3698
3696 3699 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3697 3700
3698 3701 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
3699 3702 updated.
3700 3703
3701 3704 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3702 3705
3703 3706 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
3704 3707 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
3705 3708 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
3706 3709 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
3707 3710 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
3708 3711
3709 3712 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
3710 3713 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
3711 3714 split regexp. Closes
3712 3715 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
3713 3716 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
3714 3717 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
3715 3718 extensions.
3716 3719
3717 3720 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
3718 3721 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
3719 3722 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
3720 3723 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
3721 3724 for generic code and for matplotlib.
3722 3725
3723 3726 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
3724 3727 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
3725 3728 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
3726 3729 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
3727 3730
3728 3731 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
3729 3732 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
3730 3733
3731 3734 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
3732 3735 fine-tune banner.
3733 3736
3734 3737 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
3735 3738 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
3736 3739
3737 3740 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3738 3741
3739 3742 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
3740 3743 were missing.
3741 3744
3742 3745 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
3743 3746 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
3744 3747 valid at the command line.
3745 3748
3746 3749 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
3747 3750 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
3748 3751
3749 3752 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3750 3753
3751 3754 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
3752 3755 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
3753 3756 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
3754 3757
3755 3758 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3756 3759
3757 3760 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
3758 3761 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
3759 3762 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
3760 3763 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
3761 3764 continue to use the standard profiler.
3762 3765
3763 3766 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3764 3767
3765 3768 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
3766 3769 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
3767 3770 close.
3768 3771
3769 3772 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3770 3773
3771 3774 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
3772 3775 in Magic and ultraTB.
3773 3776
3774 3777 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
3775 3778
3776 3779 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
3777 3780 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
3778 3781 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
3779 3782 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
3780 3783
3781 3784 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
3782 3785 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
3783 3786 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
3784 3787 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
3785 3788 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
3786 3789 infrastructure in place.
3787 3790
3788 3791 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3789 3792
3790 3793 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
3791 3794
3792 3795 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
3793 3796 the pylab profile.
3794 3797
3795 3798 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
3796 3799
3797 3800 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3798 3801
3799 3802 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
3800 3803 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
3801 3804 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
3802 3805 itself.
3803 3806
3804 3807 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3805 3808 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3806 3809 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3807 3810 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3808 3811 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3809 3812 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3810 3813 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3811 3814 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3812 3815
3813 3816 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3814 3817 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3815 3818
3816 3819 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3817 3820
3818 3821 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3819 3822 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3820 3823 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3821 3824
3822 3825 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3823 3826
3824 3827 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3825 3828 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3826 3829
3827 3830 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3828 3831
3829 3832 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3830 3833
3831 3834 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3832 3835
3833 3836 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3834 3837
3835 3838 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3836 3839 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3837 3840 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3838 3841
3839 3842 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3840 3843
3841 3844 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3842 3845 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3843 3846 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3844 3847 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3845 3848 works.
3846 3849
3847 3850 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3848 3851 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3849 3852 practice.
3850 3853
3851 3854 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3852 3855
3853 3856 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3854 3857 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3855 3858 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3856 3859
3857 3860 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3858 3861
3859 3862 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3860 3863 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3861 3864 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3862 3865 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3863 3866
3864 3867 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3865 3868
3866 3869 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3867 3870 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3868 3871 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3869 3872 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3870 3873
3871 3874 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3872 3875
3873 3876 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3874 3877
3875 3878 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3876 3879 fail for any number.
3877 3880 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3878 3881 empty bookmarks.
3879 3882
3880 3883 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3881 3884
3882 3885 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3883 3886
3884 3887 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3885 3888
3886 3889 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3887 3890 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3888 3891
3889 3892 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3890 3893 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3891 3894
3892 3895 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3893 3896
3894 3897 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3895 3898 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3896 3899 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3897 3900 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3898 3901 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3899 3902
3900 3903 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3901 3904
3902 3905 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3903 3906 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3904 3907
3905 3908 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3906 3909
3907 3910 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3908 3911 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3909 3912 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3910 3913 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3911 3914
3912 3915 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3913 3916 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3914 3917 Schmolck.
3915 3918
3916 3919 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3917 3920
3918 3921 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3919 3922
3920 3923 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3921 3924 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3922 3925
3923 3926 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3924 3927 optimizations.
3925 3928
3926 3929 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3927 3930 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:

3937 3940 can be done for other cases.
3938 3941 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3939 3942 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3940 3943 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3941 3944
3942 3945 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3943 3946 --added logfile rotation
3944 3947 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3945 3948
3946 3949 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3947 3950 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3948 3951 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3949 3952 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3950 3953 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3951 3954 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3952 3955 --added global logfile option
3953 3956 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3954 3957 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3955 3958
3956 3959 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3957 3960 --added a README
3958 3961 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3959 3962 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3960 3963 bug or feature.
3961 3964 --changed rc file for new behavior
3962 3965
3963 3966 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3964 3967
3965 3968 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3966 3969 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3967 3970 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3968 3971
3969 3972 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3970 3973 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3971 3974
3972 3975 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3973 3976
3974 3977 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3975 3978 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3976 3979 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3977 3980 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3978 3981 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3979 3982 and prepended with a #.
3980 3983
3981 3984 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3982 3985 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3983 3986
3984 3987 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3985 3988
3986 3989 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3987 3990 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3988 3991
3989 3992 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3990 3993
3991 3994 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3992 3995 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3993 3996
3994 3997 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3995 3998
3996 3999 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3997 4000 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3998 4001 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3999 4002
4000 4003 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4001 4004
4002 4005 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
4003 4006 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
4004 4007
4005 4008 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
4006 4009 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
4007 4010 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
4008 4011 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
4009 4012 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
4010 4013 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
4011 4014 be implemented later).
4012 4015
4013 4016 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
4014 4017 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
4015 4018 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
4016 4019 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
4017 4020
4018 4021 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
4019 4022 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
4020 4023 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
4021 4024
4022 4025 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
4023 4026 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
4024 4027
4025 4028 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
4026 4029 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
4027 4030 readline make it impossible to go further.
4028 4031
4029 4032 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4030 4033
4031 4034 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
4032 4035 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
4033 4036
4034 4037 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4035 4038
4036 4039 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
4037 4040 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
4038 4041 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
4039 4042 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
4040 4043
4041 4044 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
4042 4045 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
4043 4046 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
4044 4047 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
4045 4048
4046 4049 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
4047 4050 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
4048 4051 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
4049 4052 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
4050 4053 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
4051 4054 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
4052 4055 problem.
4053 4056
4054 4057 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
4055 4058 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
4056 4059
4057 4060 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
4058 4061 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
4059 4062 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
4060 4063
4061 4064 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4062 4065
4063 4066 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
4064 4067 continue prompts.
4065 4068
4066 4069 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
4067 4070 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
4068 4071 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
4069 4072 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
4070 4073 byte-compilation saves time.
4071 4074
4072 4075 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4073 4076
4074 4077 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
4075 4078 -NUM', which was recently broken.
4076 4079
4077 4080 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
4078 4081 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
4079 4082
4080 4083 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
4081 4084 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
4082 4085 common cases where it's a problem.
4083 4086
4084 4087 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4085 4088
4086 4089 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
4087 4090 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
4088 4091 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
4089 4092 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
4090 4093 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
4091 4094 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
4092 4095
4093 4096 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4094 4097
4095 4098 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
4096 4099 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
4097 4100
4098 4101 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
4099 4102 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
4100 4103 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
4101 4104 structure as win_exec_ext.
4102 4105
4103 4106 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
4104 4107 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
4105 4108
4106 4109 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
4107 4110 delete aliases.
4108 4111
4109 4112 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
4110 4113 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
4111 4114
4112 4115 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4113 4116
4114 4117 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
4115 4118 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
4116 4119
4117 4120 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4118 4121
4119 4122 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
4120 4123 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
4121 4124
4122 4125 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
4123 4126 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
4124 4127
4125 4128 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
4126 4129 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
4127 4130 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
4128 4131 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
4129 4132 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
4130 4133 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
4131 4134
4132 4135 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
4133 4136 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
4134 4137 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
4135 4138
4136 4139 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
4137 4140 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
4138 4141 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
4139 4142
4140 4143 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
4141 4144 via an extra $. For example:
4142 4145
4143 4146 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
4144 4147
4145 4148 In [8]: !echo $PATH
4146 4149 a python variable
4147 4150
4148 4151 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
4149 4152 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
4150 4153
4151 4154 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
4152 4155 things prematurely.
4153 4156
4154 4157 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
4155 4158 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
4156 4159
4157 4160 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
4158 4161 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
4159 4162 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
4160 4163 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
4161 4164 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
4162 4165 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
4163 4166 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
4164 4167 programs in the user's path is obtained.
4165 4168
4166 4169 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
4167 4170 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
4168 4171 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
4169 4172 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
4170 4173 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
4171 4174 with the old system).
4172 4175
4173 4176 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4174 4177
4175 4178 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
4176 4179 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
4177 4180
4178 4181 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
4179 4182 call to eval.
4180 4183 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
4181 4184 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
4182 4185 in.
4183 4186
4184 4187 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4185 4188
4186 4189 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
4187 4190 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
4188 4191 confusion).
4189 4192
4190 4193 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
4191 4194 check for Windows users.
4192 4195
4193 4196 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
4194 4197 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
4195 4198 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
4196 4199 download it.
4197 4200
4198 4201 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4199 4202
4200 4203 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
4201 4204 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
4202 4205 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
4203 4206 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
4204 4207 of IDLE's out).
4205 4208
4206 4209 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
4207 4210 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
4208 4211 eventually.
4209 4212 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
4210 4213
4211 4214 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4212 4215
4213 4216 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
4214 4217 list of auto-defined aliases.
4215 4218
4216 4219 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4217 4220
4218 4221 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
4219 4222 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
4220 4223 things under Windows).
4221 4224
4222 4225 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4223 4226
4224 4227 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
4225 4228 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
4226 4229 reported by Thorsten.
4227 4230
4228 4231 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4229 4232
4230 4233 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
4231 4234 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
4232 4235 for all examples and the manual as well.
4233 4236
4234 4237 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4235 4238
4236 4239 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
4237 4240 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
4238 4241 inherit from BasePrompt.
4239 4242
4240 4243 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
4241 4244 with python version (since paths are fixed).
4242 4245
4243 4246 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
4244 4247 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
4245 4248 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
4246 4249 defaults.
4247 4250 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
4248 4251 this fix manually!
4249 4252
4250 4253 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
4251 4254 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
4252 4255 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
4253 4256 distutils).
4254 4257
4255 4258 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
4256 4259 usage of new '\D' escape.
4257 4260
4258 4261 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
4259 4262 lacks os.getuid())
4260 4263 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
4261 4264 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
4262 4265 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
4263 4266 handling mechanism.
4264 4267 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
4265 4268 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
4266 4269 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
4267 4270 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
4268 4271 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
4269 4272 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
4270 4273 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
4271 4274
4272 4275 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4273 4276
4274 4277 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
4275 4278 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
4276 4279 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
4277 4280
4278 4281 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
4279 4282 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
4280 4283 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
4281 4284 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
4282 4285 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
4283 4286 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
4284 4287 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
4285 4288 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4286 4289
4287 4290 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
4288 4291 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
4289 4292 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
4290 4293 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
4291 4294 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
4292 4295 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
4293 4296 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
4294 4297 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
4295 4298
4296 4299 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
4297 4300 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
4298 4301 functions uniform.
4299 4302 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
4300 4303
4301 4304 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
4302 4305 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
4303 4306 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
4304 4307 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
4305 4308 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
4306 4309 use to parse their options.
4307 4310
4308 4311 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
4309 4312 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
4310 4313 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
4311 4314
4312 4315 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
4313 4316 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
4314 4317 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
4315 4318 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
4316 4319 via the prompt_specials.
4317 4320
4318 4321 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4319 4322
4320 4323 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
4321 4324 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
4322 4325 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
4323 4326 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
4324 4327 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
4325 4328 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
4326 4329 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
4327 4330 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
4328 4331
4329 4332 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4330 4333
4331 4334 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
4332 4335 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
4333 4336 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
4334 4337
4335 4338 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4336 4339
4337 4340 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
4338 4341 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
4339 4342
4340 4343 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4341 4344
4342 4345 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
4343 4346 parens would get passed to the shell.
4344 4347
4345 4348 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4346 4349
4347 4350 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
4348 4351 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
4349 4352
4350 4353 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
4351 4354 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
4352 4355 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
4353 4356 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
4354 4357 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
4355 4358
4356 4359 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
4357 4360 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
4358 4361 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
4359 4362 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
4360 4363
4361 4364 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
4362 4365
4363 4366 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4364 4367
4365 4368 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
4366 4369 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
4367 4370 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4368 4371
4369 4372 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
4370 4373 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
4371 4374 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
4372 4375 official documentation.
4373 4376
4374 4377 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4375 4378
4376 4379 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
4377 4380 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
4378 4381 explicit filename.
4379 4382
4380 4383 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4381 4384
4382 4385 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
4383 4386 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
4384 4387 case.
4385 4388
4386 4389 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
4387 4390 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
4388 4391 updated the new_design doc a bit.
4389 4392
4390 4393 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
4391 4394
4392 4395 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4393 4396
4394 4397 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
4395 4398 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
4396 4399 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
4397 4400 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
4398 4401 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
4399 4402 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
4400 4403 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
4401 4404 any changes to python proper.
4402 4405
4403 4406 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
4404 4407 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
4405 4408 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
4406 4409 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
4407 4410 Schmolck.
4408 4411
4409 4412 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4410 4413
4411 4414 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
4412 4415 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
4413 4416 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
4414 4417 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.
4415 4418
4416 4419 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4417 4420
4418 4421 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
4419 4422 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
4420 4423 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
4421 4424 name).
4422 4425
4423 4426 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
4424 4427 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
4425 4428 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
4426 4429 Francois Pinard.
4427 4430
4428 4431 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4429 4432
4430 4433 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
4431 4434 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
4432 4435 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
4433 4436 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
4434 4437 not work.
4435 4438
4436 4439 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4437 4440
4438 4441 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
4439 4442 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
4440 4443 distinguishes stdout/err.
4441 4444
4442 4445 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
4443 4446 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
4444 4447 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
4445 4448 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
4446 4449 the standard library.
4447 4450
4448 4451 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
4449 4452 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
4450 4453
4451 4454 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
4452 4455 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
4453 4456
4454 4457 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4455 4458
4456 4459 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
4457 4460 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
4458 4461 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
4459 4462 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
4460 4463 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
4461 4464 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
4462 4465
4463 4466 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4464 4467
4465 4468 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
4466 4469 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
4467 4470 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
4468 4471 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
4469 4472
4470 4473 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4471 4474
4472 4475 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
4473 4476 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
4474 4477 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
4475 4478 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
4476 4479
4477 4480 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4478 4481
4479 4482 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
4480 4483 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
4481 4484 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
4482 4485 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
4483 4486 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
4484 4487 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
4485 4488 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
4486 4489 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
4487 4490
4488 4491 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4489 4492
4490 4493 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
4491 4494 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
4492 4495
4493 4496 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4494 4497
4495 4498 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
4496 4499 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
4497 4500 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
4498 4501 very short.
4499 4502
4500 4503 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4501 4504
4502 4505 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
4503 4506 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
4504 4507 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
4505 4508 this before making it permanent.
4506 4509
4507 4510 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
4508 4511 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
4509 4512 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
4510 4513 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
4511 4514
4512 4515 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4513 4516
4514 4517 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
4515 4518 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
4516 4519
4517 4520 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4518 4521
4519 4522 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
4520 4523 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
4521 4524 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
4522 4525 cases I've missed.
4523 4526
4524 4527 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4525 4528
4526 4529 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
4527 4530 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
4528 4531 system would be triggered for @p.
4529 4532
4530 4533 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
4531 4534 cleanups, code unmodified.
4532 4535
4533 4536 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
4534 4537 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
4535 4538 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
4536 4539 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
4537 4540 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
4538 4541 The actual changes affect many files.
4539 4542
4540 4543 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4541 4544
4542 4545 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
4543 4546 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
4544 4547 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
4545 4548
4546 4549 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4547 4550
4548 4551 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
4549 4552 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
4550 4553
4551 4554 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4552 4555
4553 4556 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
4554 4557 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
4555 4558 numpy list.
4556 4559
4557 4560 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4558 4561
4559 4562 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
4560 4563 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
4561 4564 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
4562 4565 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
4563 4566
4564 4567 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4565 4568
4566 4569 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
4567 4570 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
4568 4571 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
4569 4572 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
4570 4573
4571 4574 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
4572 4575 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
4573 4576
4574 4577 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4575 4578
4576 4579 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
4577 4580 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
4578 4581 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
4579 4582 Collins.
4580 4583
4581 4584 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
4582 4585
4583 4586 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4584 4587
4585 4588 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
4586 4589 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
4587 4590 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
4588 4591
4589 4592 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4590 4593
4591 4594 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
4592 4595 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
4593 4596 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
4594 4597 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
4595 4598
4596 4599 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
4597 4600 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
4598 4601 __getitem__ and __call__.
4599 4602
4600 4603 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
4601 4604
4602 4605 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4603 4606
4604 4607 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
4605 4608 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
4606 4609 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
4607 4610 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
4608 4611
4609 4612 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
4610 4613 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
4611 4614 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
4612 4615 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
4613 4616 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
4614 4617 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
4615 4618 necessary.
4616 4619
4617 4620 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
4618 4621 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
4619 4622 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
4620 4623
4621 4624 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
4622 4625 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
4623 4626 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
4624 4627 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
4625 4628
4626 4629 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
4627 4630 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
4628 4631 generators.
4629 4632
4630 4633 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
4631 4634 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
4632 4635 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
4633 4636 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
4634 4637 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
4635 4638 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
4636 4639 potentially dangerous eval() again.
4637 4640
4638 4641 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
4639 4642 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
4640 4643 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
4641 4644 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
4642 4645 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
4643 4646
4644 4647 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
4645 4648 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
4646 4649 edit under some circumstances.
4647 4650 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
4648 4651 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
4649 4652 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
4650 4653 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
4651 4654 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
4652 4655 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
4653 4656 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
4654 4657 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
4655 4658 need more testing.

4658 4661
4659 4662 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
4660 4663 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
4661 4664 and simpler code.
4662 4665
4663 4666 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4664 4667
4665 4668 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
4666 4669 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
4667 4670 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
4668 4671 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
4669 4672 even if they were contiguous.
4670 4673 (l1norm): Added this function.
4671 4674 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
4672 4675 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
4673 4676 and speed.
4674 4677
4675 4678 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4676 4679
4677 4680 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
4678 4681 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
4679 4682 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
4680 4683
4681 4684 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4682 4685
4683 4686 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
4684 4687 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
4685 4688 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
4686 4689
4687 4690 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
4688 4691 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
4689 4692 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
4690 4693
4691 4694 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4692 4695
4693 4696 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
4694 4697 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
4695 4698 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
4696 4699 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
4697 4700 activity.
4698 4701
4699 4702 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4700 4703
4701 4704 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
4702 4705 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
4703 4706 Numeric.identity)
4704 4707
4705 4708 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4706 4709
4707 4710 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
4708 4711 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
4709 4712 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
4710 4713
4711 4714 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4712 4715
4713 4716 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
4714 4717 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
4715 4718 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
4716 4719 ipython behaves like normal python does.
4717 4720
4718 4721 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
4719 4722 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
4720 4723 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
4721 4724 is implemented).
4722 4725
4723 4726 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4724 4727
4725 4728 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
4726 4729 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
4727 4730 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
4728 4731
4729 4732 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
4730 4733 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
4731 4734 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
4732 4735 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
4733 4736 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>

4737 4740 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4738 4741
4739 4742 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
4740 4743 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
4741 4744 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
4742 4745
4743 4746 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4744 4747
4745 4748 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
4746 4749 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
4747 4750 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
4748 4751
4749 4752 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
4750 4753 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
4751 4754 crash report from Prabhu.
4752 4755
4753 4756 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4754 4757
4755 4758 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
4756 4759 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
4757 4760 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
4758 4761 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4759 4762 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
4760 4763 also be useful in other cases.
4761 4764
4762 4765 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
4763 4766 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
4764 4767 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
4765 4768
4766 4769 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
4767 4770
4768 4771 2003-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4769 4772
4770 4773 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
4771 4774 installing for a new user under Windows.
4772 4775
4773 4776 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4774 4777
4775 4778 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
4776 4779 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
4777 4780 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
4778 4781 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
4779 4782 there.
4780 4783
4781 4784 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
4782 4785 info to crash reports.
4783 4786
4784 4787 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
4785 4788 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
4786 4789 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
4787 4790 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
4788 4791
4789 4792 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4790 4793
4791 4794 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
4792 4795 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
4793 4796 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
4794 4797 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
4795 4798
4796 4799 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4797 4800
4798 4801 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
4799 4802 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
4800 4803
4801 4804 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4802 4805
4803 4806 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4804 4807 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4805 4808
4806 4809 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4807 4810
4808 4811 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4809 4812
4810 4813 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4811 4814 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4812 4815 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4813 4816
4814 4817 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4815 4818 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4816 4819 with the new auto-indent option.
4817 4820
4818 4821 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4819 4822
4820 4823 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4821 4824 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4822 4825 this class from the main Shell class.
4823 4826
4824 4827 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4825 4828 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4826 4829 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4827 4830 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4828 4831 option).
4829 4832
4830 4833 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4831 4834 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4832 4835 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4833 4836 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4834 4837 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4835 4838
4836 4839 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4837 4840 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4838 4841 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4839 4842
4840 4843 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4841 4844 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4842 4845 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4843 4846 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4844 4847 tracebacks.
4845 4848
4846 4849 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4847 4850 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4848 4851 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>

4851 4854
4852 4855 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4853 4856 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4854 4857 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4855 4858 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4856 4859
4857 4860 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4858 4861
4859 4862 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4860 4863 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4861 4864 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4862 4865 for the bug report.

4864 4867 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4865 4868
4866 4869 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4867 4870 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4868 4871 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4869 4872 report.
4870 4873
4871 4874 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4872 4875
4873 4876 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4874 4877 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4875 4878 end).
4876 4879
4877 4880 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4878 4881 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4879 4882 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4880 4883
4881 4884 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4882 4885
4883 4886 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4884 4887 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4885 4888 for the patch.
4886 4889
4887 4890 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4888 4891
4889 4892 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4890 4893 functions.

4895 4898
4896 4899 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4897 4900 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4898 4901 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4899 4902 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4900 4903 private fix.
4901 4904
4902 4905 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4903 4906 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4904 4907 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4905 4908 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4906 4909 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4907 4910 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4908 4911 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4909 4912 fixed for this setup.
4910 4913
4911 4914 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4912 4915 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4913 4916

4917 4920
4918 4921 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4919 4922 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4920 4923 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4921 4924 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4922 4925 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4923 4926 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4924 4927 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4925 4928 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4926 4929 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4927 4930
4928 4931 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4929 4932 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4930 4933 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4931 4934

4933 4936
4934 4937 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4935 4938
4936 4939 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4937 4940 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4938 4941 pickle-related issue in @run).
4939 4942
4940 4943 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4941 4944
4942 4945 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4943 4946 the autocall option at runtime.
4944 4947 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4945 4948 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4946 4949 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4947 4950 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4948 4951 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4949 4952 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4950 4953 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4951 4954 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4952 4955 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4953 4956 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4954 4957 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4955 4958 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4956 4959 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4957 4960 pickles to save something sensible.
4958 4961
4959 4962 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4960 4963
4961 4964 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4962 4965 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4963 4966 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4964 4967
4965 4968 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4966 4969
4967 4970 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4968 4971 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4969 4972
4970 4973 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4971 4974
4972 4975 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4973 4976 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4974 4977 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4975 4978 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.

4977 4980 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4978 4981
4979 4982 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4980 4983 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4981 4984 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4982 4985 array is non-contiguous.

4984 4987 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4985 4988
4986 4989 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4987 4990 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4988 4991 executed).
4989 4992 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4990 4993 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4991 4994 output.
4992 4995 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4993 4996 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4994 4997 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4995 4998 changing.

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

6874 6877 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6875 6878
6876 6879 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6877 6880
6878 6881 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6879 6882 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6880 6883
6881 6884 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6882 6885 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6883 6886 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6884 6887 this later.
6885 6888
6886 6889 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6887 6890
6888 6891 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6889 6892 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6890 6893 line option.
6891 6894
6892 6895 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6893 6896 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6894 6897 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6895 6898 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6896 6899 didn't return a result).
6897 6900
6898 6901 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6899 6902
6900 6903 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6901 6904
6902 6905 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6903 6906 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6904 6907 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6905 6908 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6906 6909
6907 6910 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6908 6911
6909 6912 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6910 6913
6911 6914 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6912 6915 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6913 6916
6914 6917 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6915 6918 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6916 6919 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6917 6920 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6918 6921 in with the next entry:
6919 6922
6920 6923 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6921 6924 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6922 6925 handling.
6923 6926
6924 6927 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6925 6928 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6926 6929 namespace protection and documentation.
6927 6930
6928 6931 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6929 6932
6930 6933 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6931 6934 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6932 6935
6933 6936 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6934 6937
6935 6938 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6936 6939
6937 6940 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6938 6941
6939 6942 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6940 6943 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6941 6944 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6942 6945 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6943 6946 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6944 6947
6945 6948 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6946 6949 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6947 6950 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6948 6951
6949 6952 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6950 6953
6951 6954 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6952 6955 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6953 6956
6954 6957 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6955 6958
6956 6959 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6957 6960
6958 6961 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6959 6962 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6960 6963 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6961 6964 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6962 6965 ScientificPython.
6963 6966
6964 6967 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6965 6968
6966 6969 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6967 6970 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6968 6971 when called with no args.
6969 6972
6970 6973 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6971 6974 closely.
6972 6975
6973 6976 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6974 6977 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6975 6978 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6976 6979 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6977 6980 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.
6978 6981
6979 6982 2001-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6980 6983
6981 6984 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6982 6985 customizations there and access them via import.
6983 6986
6984 6987 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6985 6988
6986 6989 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6987 6990
6988 6991 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6989 6992 Nathan and Janko.
6990 6993
6991 6994 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6992 6995
6993 6996 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6994 6997 too long.
6995 6998
6996 6999 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6997 7000
6998 7001 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6999 7002 ?sin and sin?
7000 7003 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
7001 7004 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
7002 7005 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
7003 7006 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
7004 7007
7005 7008 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7006 7009
7007 7010 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
7008 7011
7009 7012 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
7010 7013 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
7011 7014
7012 7015 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
7013 7016 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
7014 7017 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
7015 7018 me).
7016 7019
7017 7020 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
7018 7021 protected (reasonably).
7019 7022
7020 7023 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
7021 7024 note through it (it was too long).
7022 7025
7023 7026 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
7024 7027 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
7025 7028 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
7026 7029 parameters.
7027 7030
7028 7031
7029 7032 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
7030 7033
7031 7034 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
7032 7035 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
7033 7036 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
7034 7037
7035 7038 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
7036 7039 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
7037 7040 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
7038 7041
7039 7042 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
7040 7043
7041 7044 Changes to InteractiveShell:
7042 7045
7043 7046 - Made the usage message a parameter.
7044 7047
7045 7048 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
7046 7049 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
7047 7050 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
7048 7051 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
7049 7052 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
7050 7053 break.
7051 7054
7052 7055 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
7053 7056 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
7054 7057 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
7055 7058 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
7056 7059 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
7057 7060 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
7058 7061
7059 7062 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
7060 7063 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
7061 7064 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
7062 7065 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
7063 7066 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
7064 7067 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
7065 7068 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
7066 7069 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
7067 7070 trick.
7068 7071
7069 7072 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
7070 7073 session restoring.
7071 7074
7072 7075 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
7073 7076 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
7074 7077 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
7075 7078 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
7076 7079 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
7077 7080
7078 7081 * Started ChangeLog.
