11 16 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_inputBROKEN): temporarily disable
12 17 my changes from yesterday, they introduced bugs. Will reactivate
13 18 once I get a correct solution, which will be much easier thanks to
14 19 Dan Milstein's new prefilter test suite.

16 21 2007-02-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
17 22
18 23 * IPython/iplib.py (split_user_input): fix input splitting so we
19 24 don't attempt attribute accesses on things that can't possibly be
20 25 valid Python attributes. After a bug report by Alex Schmolck.
21 26 (InteractiveShell.__init__): brown-paper bag fix; regexp broke
22 27 %magic with explicit % prefix.

24 29 2007-02-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
25 30
26 31 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): update threads calls to
27 32 avoid a DeprecationWarning from GTK.
28 33
29 34 2007-02-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
30 35
31 36 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): I modified clock() to return total
32 37 time, user+system. This is a more commonly needed metric. I also
33 38 introduced the new clocku/clocks to get only user/system time if
34 39 one wants those instead.
35 40
36 41 ***WARNING: API CHANGE*** clock() used to return only user time,
37 42 so if you want exactly the same results as before, use clocku
38 43 instead.

42 47 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_p4.py: Extension for improved
43 48 p4 (perforce version control system) experience.
44 49 Adds %p4 magic with p4 command completion and
45 50 automatic -G argument (marshall output as python dict)

50 55 stop marks.
51 56 (ClearingMixin): a simple mixin to easily make a Demo class clear
52 57 the screen in between blocks and have empty marquees. The
53 58 ClearDemo and ClearIPDemo classes that use it are included.

64 69 (i.e. the object for which the browser has been started) fails,
65 70 now the error is raised directly (aborting the browser) instead of
66 71 running into an empty levels list later.

78 83 <tom.denniston-AT-alum.dartmouth.org>.

80 85 2007-01-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
81 86
82 87 * IPython/Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py (runlistpy): fix a
83 88 bug where only .ipy or .py would be completed. Once the first
84 89 argument to %run has been given, all completions are valid because
85 90 they are the arguments to the script, which may well be non-python
86 91 filenames.
87 92
88 93 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): major updates
89 94 to irunner to allow it to correctly support real doctesting of
90 95 out-of-process ipython code.
91 96
92 97 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): Make the setting of the terminal
93 98 title an option (-noterm_title) because it completely breaks
94 99 doctesting.
95 100
96 101 * IPython/demo.py: fix IPythonDemo class that was not actually working.

98 103 2007-01-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>

104 109
105 110 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (xiter): Make sure that iterating
106 111 a string containing a single line yields the string itself as the
107 112 only item.
108 113
109 114 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (ibrowse): Avoid entering an
110 115 object if it's the same as the one on the last level (This avoids
111 116 infinite recursion for one line strings).
112 117
113 118 2007-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
114 119
115 120 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): properly flush
116 121 all output streams before printing tracebacks. This ensures that
117 122 user output doesn't end up interleaved with traceback output.
118 123
119 124 2007-01-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
120 125
121 126 * Extensions/envpersist.py: Turbocharged %env that remembers
122 127 env vars across sessions; e.g. "%env PATH+=;/opt/scripts" or
123 128 "%env VISUAL=jed".
124 129
125 130 2007-01-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
126 131
127 132 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): ensure that we correctly call
128 133 custom handlers in all cases (some with pdb were slipping through,
129 134 but I'm not exactly sure why).
130 135
131 136 * IPython/Debugger.py (Tracer.__init__): added new class to
132 137 support set_trace-like usage of IPython's enhanced debugger.
133 138
134 139 2006-12-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
135 140
136 141 * ipmaker.py: more informative message when ipy_user_conf
137 142 import fails (suggest running %upgrade).
138 143
139 144 * tools/run_ipy_in_profiler.py: Utility to see where
140 145 the time during IPython startup is spent.
141 146
142 147 2006-12-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
143 148

147 152
148 153 * Release.py: Bump up version to 0.7.4.svn
149 154
150 155 2006-12-17 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
151 156
152 157 * Extensions/jobctrl.py: Fixed &cmd arg arg...
153 158 to work properly on posix too
154 159
155 160 * Release.py: Update revnum (version is still just 0.7.3).
156 161
157 162 2006-12-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
158 163
159 164 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: create ipython.py in
160 165 prefix + "/scripts".
161 166
162 167 * Release.py: Update version to 0.7.3.
163 168
164 169 2006-12-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
165 170
166 171 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install: Overwrite old shortcuts
167 172 if they already exist
168 173
169 174 * Release.py: release 0.7.3rc2
170 175
171 176 2006-12-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
172 177
173 178 * Branch and update Release.py for 0.7.3rc1
174 179
175 180 2006-12-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
176 181
177 182 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX): update for current WX naming
178 183 conventions, to avoid a deprecation warning with current WX
179 184 versions. Thanks to a report by Danny Shevitz.
180 185
181 186 2006-12-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
182 187
183 188 * ipmaker.py: apply david cournapeau's patch to make
184 189 import_some work properly even when ipythonrc does
185 190 import_some on empty list (it was an old bug!).
186 191
187 192 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py, UserConfig/ipythonrc:
188 193 Add deprecation note to ipythonrc and a url to wiki
189 194 in ipy_user_conf.py
190 195
191 196
192 197 * Magic.py (%run): %run myscript.ipy now runs myscript.ipy
193 198 as if it was typed on IPython command prompt, i.e.
194 199 as IPython script.
195 200
196 201 * example-magic.py, magic_grepl.py: remove outdated examples
197 202
198 203 2006-12-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
199 204
200 205 * IPython/iplib.py (debugger): prevent a nasty traceback if %debug
201 206 is called before any exception has occurred.
202 207
203 208 2006-12-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
204 209
205 210 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer
206 211 to translate /'s to \'s again.
207 212
208 213 * completer.py: prevent traceback on file completions w/
209 214 backslash.
210 215
211 216 * Release.py: Update release number to 0.7.3b3 for release
212 217
213 218 2006-12-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
214 219
215 220 * Extensions/ipy_signals.py: Ignore ctrl+C in IPython process
216 221 while executing external code. Provides more shell-like behaviour
217 222 and overall better response to ctrl + C / ctrl + break.
218 223
219 224 * tools/make_tarball.py: new script to create tarball straight from svn
220 225 (setup.py sdist doesn't work on win32).
221 226
222 227 * Extensions/ipy_stock_completers.py: fix cd completer to give up
223 228 on dirnames with spaces and use the default completer instead.
224 229
225 230 * Revision.py: Change version to 0.7.3b2 for release.
226 231
227 232 2006-12-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
228 233
229 234 * Magic.py, iplib.py, completer.py: Apply R. Bernstein's
230 235 pydb patch 4 (rm debug printing, py 2.5 checking)
231 236
232 237 2006-11-30 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
233 238 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to ibrowse:
234 239 "refresh" (mapped to "r") refreshes the screen by restarting the iterator.
235 240 "refreshfind" (mapped to "R") does the same but tries to go back to the same
236 241 object the cursor was on before the refresh. The command "markrange" is
237 242 mapped to "%" now.
238 243 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make igrpentry and ipwdentry comparable.
239 244
240 245 2006-11-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
241 246
242 247 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_debug): new %debug magic to activate the
243 248 interactive debugger on the last traceback, without having to call
244 249 %pdb and rerun your code. Made minor changes in various modules,
245 250 should automatically recognize pydb if available.
246 251
247 252 2006-11-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
248 253
249 254 * completer.py: If the text start with !, show file completions
250 255 properly. This helps when trying to complete command name
251 256 for shell escapes.
252 257
253 258 2006-11-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
254 259
255 260 * ipy_stock_completers.py: bzr completer submitted by Stefan van
256 261 der Walt. Clean up svn and hg completers by using a common
257 262 vcs_completer.
258 263
259 264 2006-11-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
260 265
261 266 * Remove ipconfig and %config; you should use _ip.options structure
262 267 directly instead!
263 268
264 269 * genutils.py: add wrap_deprecated function for deprecating callables
265 270
266 271 * iplib.py: deprecate ipmagic, ipsystem, ipalias. Use _ip.magic and
267 272 _ip.system instead. ipalias is redundant.
268 273
269 274 * Magic.py: %rehashdir no longer aliases 'cmdname' to 'cmdname.exe' on
270 275 win32, but just 'cmdname'. Other extensions (non-'exe') are still made
271 276 explicit.
272 277
273 278 * ipy_stock_completers.py: 'hg' (mercurial VCS) now has a custom
274 279 completer. Try it by entering 'hg ' and pressing tab.
275 280
276 281 * macro.py: Give Macro a useful __repr__ method
277 282
278 283 * Magic.py: %whos abbreviates the typename of Macro for brevity.
279 284
280 285 2006-11-24 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
281 286 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Do a relative import of ipipe, so that
282 287 we don't get a duplicate ipipe module, where registration of the xrepr
283 288 implementation for Text is useless.
284 289
285 290 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix __xrepr__() implementation for ils.
286 291
287 292 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fix keymapping for the enter command.
288 293
289 294 2006-11-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
290 295
291 296 * Magic.py, manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch:
292 297 try to use "cProfile" instead of the slower pure python
293 298 "profile"
294 299
295 300 2006-11-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
296 301
297 302 * manual_base.lyx: Kirill Smelkov patch: Fix wrong
298 303 Qt+IPython+Designer link in documentation.
299 304
300 305 * Extensions/ipy_pydb.py: R. Bernstein's patch for passing
301 306 correct Pdb object to %pydb.
302 307
303 308
304 309 2006-11-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
305 310 * IPython/Extensions/astyle.py: Text needs it's own implemenation of the
306 311 generic xrepr(), otherwise the list implementation would kick in.
307 312
308 313 2006-11-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
309 314
310 315 * upgrade_dir.py: Now actually overwrites a nonmodified user file
311 316 with one from UserConfig.
312 317
313 318 * ipy_profile_sh.py: Add dummy "depth" to var_expand lambda,
314 319 it was missing which broke the sh profile.
315 320
316 321 * completer.py: file completer now uses explicit '/' instead
317 322 of os.path.join, expansion of 'foo' was broken on win32
318 323 if there was one directory with name 'foobar'.
319 324
320 325 * A bunch of patches from Kirill Smelkov:
321 326
322 327 * [patch 9/9] doc: point bug-tracker URL to IPythons trac-tickets.
323 328
324 329 * [patch 7/9] Implement %page -r (page in raw mode) -
325 330
326 331 * [patch 5/9] ScientificPython webpage has moved
327 332
328 333 * [patch 4/9] The manual mentions %ds, should be %dhist
329 334
330 335 * [patch 3/9] Kill old bits from %prun doc.
331 336
332 337 * [patch 1/9] Fix typos here and there.
333 338
334 339 2006-11-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
335 340
336 341 * completer.py (attr_matches): catch all exceptions raised
337 342 by eval of expr with dots.
338 343
339 344 2006-11-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
340 345
341 346 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): Prepend an 'if 1:' to the user
342 347 input if it starts with whitespace. This allows you to paste
343 348 indented input from any editor without manually having to type in
344 349 the 'if 1:', which is convenient when working interactively.
345 350 Slightly modifed version of a patch by Bo Peng
346 351 <bpeng-AT-rice.edu>.
347 352
348 353 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
349 354
350 355 * IPython/irunner.py (main): modified irunner so it automatically
351 356 recognizes the right runner to use based on the extension (.py for
352 357 python, .ipy for ipython and .sage for sage).
353 358
354 359 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.ipconfig): new builtin, also
355 360 visible in ipapi as ip.config(), to programatically control the
356 361 internal rc object. There's an accompanying %config magic for
357 362 interactive use, which has been enhanced to match the
358 363 funtionality in ipconfig.
359 364
360 365 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_system_verbose): Change %system_verbose
361 366 so it's not just a toggle, it now takes an argument. Add support
362 367 for a customizable header when making system calls, as the new
363 368 system_header variable in the ipythonrc file.

365 370 2006-11-03 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
366 371
367 372 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: xrepr(), xiter() and xattrs() are now
368 373 generic functions (using Philip J. Eby's simplegeneric package).
369 374 This makes it possible to customize the display of third-party classes
370 375 without having to monkeypatch them. xiter() no longer supports a mode
371 376 argument and the XMode class has been removed. The same functionality can
372 377 be implemented via IterAttributeDescriptor and IterMethodDescriptor.
373 378 One consequence of the switch to generic functions is that xrepr() and
374 379 xattrs() implementation must define the default value for the mode
375 380 argument themselves and xattrs() implementations must return real
376 381 descriptors.
377 382
378 383 * IPython/external: This new subpackage will contain all third-party
379 384 packages that are bundled with IPython. (The first one is simplegeneric).
380 385
381 386 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile/ils): Readd output of the parent
382 387 directory which as been dropped in r1703.
383 388
384 389 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (iless): Fixed.
385 390
386 391 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse: Fixed sorting under Python 2.3.
387 392
388 393 2006-11-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
389 394
390 395 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.var_expand): fix stack
391 396 handling in variable expansion so that shells and magics recognize
392 397 function local scopes correctly. Bug reported by Brian.
393 398
394 399 * scripts/ipython: remove the very first entry in sys.path which
395 400 Python auto-inserts for scripts, so that sys.path under IPython is
396 401 as similar as possible to that under plain Python.
397 402
398 403 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.file_matches): Fix
399 404 tab-completion so that quotes are not closed unless the completion
400 405 is unambiguous. After a request by Stefan. Minor cleanups in
401 406 ipy_stock_completers.
402 407
403 408 2006-11-02 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
404 409
405 410 * ipy_stock_completers.py: Add %run and %cd completers.
406 411
407 412 * completer.py: Try running custom completer for both
408 413 "foo" and "%foo" if the command is just "foo". Ignore case
409 414 when filtering possible completions.
410 415
411 416 * UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py: install stock completers as default
412 417
413 418 * iplib.py (history_saving_wrapper), debugger(), ipy_pydb.py:
414 419 simplified readline history save / restore through a wrapper
415 420 function
416 421
417 422
418 423 2006-10-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
419 424
420 425 * strdispatch.py, completer.py, ipy_stock_completers.py:
421 426 Allow str_key ("command") in completer hooks. Implement
422 427 trivial completer for 'import' (stdlib modules only). Rename
423 428 ipy_linux_package_managers.py to ipy_stock_completers.py.
424 429 SVN completer.
425 430
426 431 * Extensions/ledit.py: %magic line editor for easily and
427 432 incrementally manipulating lists of strings. The magic command
428 433 name is %led.
429 434
430 435 2006-10-30 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
431 436
432 437 * Debugger.py, iplib.py (debugger()): Add last set of Rocky
433 438 Bernsteins's patches for pydb integration.
434 439 http://bashdb.sourceforge.net/pydb/
435 440
436 441 * strdispatch.py, iplib.py, completer.py, IPython/__init__.py,
437 442 Extensions/ipy_linux_package_managers.py, hooks.py: Implement
438 443 custom completer hook to allow the users to implement their own
439 444 completers. See ipy_linux_package_managers.py for example. The
440 445 hook name is 'complete_command'.
441 446
442 447 2006-10-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
443 448
444 449 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy: minor cleanups to remove old
445 450 Numeric leftovers.
446 451
447 452 * ipython.el (py-execute-region): apply Stefan's patch to fix
448 453 garbled results if the python shell hasn't been previously started.
449 454
450 455 * IPython/genutils.py (arg_split): moved to genutils, since it's a
451 456 pretty generic function and useful for other things.
452 457
453 458 * IPython/OInspect.py (getsource): Add customizable source
454 459 extractor. After a request/patch form W. Stein (SAGE).
455 460
456 461 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): reset tty
457 462 window size to a more reasonable value from what pexpect does,
458 463 since their choice causes wrapping bugs with long input lines.
459 464
460 465 2006-10-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
461 466
462 467 * Magic.py (%run): Save and restore the readline history from
463 468 file around %run commands to prevent side effects from
464 469 %runned programs that might use readline (e.g. pydb).
465 470
466 471 * extensions/ipy_pydb.py: Adds %pydb magic when imported, for
467 472 invoking the pydb enhanced debugger.
468 473
469 474 2006-10-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
470 475
471 476 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ifile): Remove all methods that
472 477 call the base class method and propagate the return value to
473 478 ifile. This is now done by path itself.
474 479
475 480 2006-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
476 481
477 482 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Added new entry to public
478 483 api: set_crash_handler(), to expose the ability to change the
479 484 internal crash handler.
480 485
481 486 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__init__): abstract out
482 487 the various parameters of the crash handler so that apps using
483 488 IPython as their engine can customize crash handling. Ipmlemented
484 489 at the request of SAGE.
485 490
486 491 2006-10-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
487 492
488 493 * Magic.py, ipython.el: applied first "safe" part of Rocky
489 494 Bernstein's patch set for pydb integration.
490 495
491 496 * Magic.py (%unalias, %alias): %store'd aliases can now be
492 497 removed with '%unalias'. %alias w/o args now shows most
493 498 interesting (stored / manually defined) aliases last
494 499 where they catch the eye w/o scrolling.
495 500
496 501 * Magic.py (%rehashx), ext_rehashdir.py: files with
497 502 'py' extension are always considered executable, even
498 503 when not in PATHEXT environment variable.
499 504
500 505 2006-10-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
501 506
502 507 * jobctrl.py: Add new "jobctrl" extension for spawning background
503 508 processes with "&find /". 'import jobctrl' to try it out. Requires
504 509 'subprocess' module, standard in python 2.4+.
505 510
506 511 * iplib.py (expand_aliases, handle_alias): Aliases expand transitively,
507 512 so if foo -> bar and bar -> baz, then foo -> baz.
508 513
509 514 2006-10-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
510 515
511 516 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): add a new posix option
512 517 to allow parsing of input args in magics that doesn't strip quotes
513 518 (if posix=False). This also closes %timeit bug reported by
514 519 Stefan.
515 520
516 521 2006-10-03 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
517 522
518 523 * iplib.py (raw_input, interact): Return ValueError catching for
519 524 raw_input. Fixes infinite loop for sys.stdin.close() or
520 525 sys.stdout.close().
521 526
522 527 2006-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
523 528
524 529 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.run_source): small fixes
525 530 to help in handling doctests. irunner is now pretty useful for
526 531 running standalone scripts and simulate a full interactive session
527 532 in a format that can be then pasted as a doctest.
528 533
529 534 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Install exit/quit
530 535 on top of the default (useless) ones. This also fixes the nasty
531 536 way in which 2.5's Quitter() exits (reverted [1785]).
532 537
533 538 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix ipdb to work with python
534 539 2.5.
535 540
536 541 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TBTools.set_colors): Make sure that ipdb
537 542 color scheme is updated as well when color scheme is changed
538 543 interactively.
539 544
540 545 2006-09-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
541 546
542 547 * iplib.py (raw_input): python 2.5 closes stdin on quit -> avoid
543 548 infinite loop and just exit. It's a hack, but will do for a while.
544 549
545 550 2006-08-25 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
546 551
547 552 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ils): Add arguments dirs and files to
548 553 the constructor, this makes it possible to get a list of only directories
549 554 or only files.
550 555
551 556 2006-08-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
552 557
553 558 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: Reverted 2006-08-11 mods,
554 559 they broke unittest
555 560
556 561 2006-08-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
557 562
558 563 * Fakemodule.py, OInspect.py: remove 2006-08-09 monkepatch
559 564 by resolving issue properly, i.e. by inheriting FakeModule
560 565 from types.ModuleType. Pickling ipython interactive data
561 566 should still work as usual (testing appreciated).
562 567
563 568 2006-08-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
564 569
565 570 * IPython/OInspect.py: monkeypatch inspect from the stdlib if
566 571 running under python 2.3 with code from 2.4 to fix a bug with
567 572 help(). Reported by the Debian maintainers, Norbert Tretkowski
568 573 <norbert-AT-tretkowski.de> and Alexandre Fayolle
569 574 <afayolle-AT-debian.org>.
570 575
571 576 2006-08-04 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
572 577
573 578 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Fixed the help message in the footer
574 579 (which was displaying "quit" twice).
575 580
576 581 2006-07-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
577 582
578 583 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix isort.__iter__() (was still using
579 584 the mode argument).
580 585
581 586 2006-07-27 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
582 587
583 588 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Fix getglobals() if we're
584 589 not running under IPython.
585 590
586 591 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Rename XAttr to AttributeDetail
587 592 and make it iterable (iterating over the attribute itself). Add two new
588 593 magic strings for __xattrs__(): If the string starts with "-", the attribute
589 594 will not be displayed in ibrowse's detail view (but it can still be
590 595 iterated over). This makes it possible to add attributes that are large
591 596 lists or generator methods to the detail view. Replace magic attribute names
592 597 and _attrname() and _getattr() with "descriptors": For each type of magic
593 598 attribute name there's a subclass of Descriptor: None -> SelfDescriptor();
594 599 "foo" -> AttributeDescriptor("foo"); "foo()" -> MethodDescriptor("foo");
595 600 "-foo" -> IterAttributeDescriptor("foo"); "-foo()" -> IterMethodDescriptor("foo");
596 601 foo() -> FunctionDescriptor(foo). Magic strings returned from __xattrs__()
597 602 are still supported.
598 603
599 604 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: If fetching the next row from the input
600 605 fails in ibrowse.fetch(), the exception object is added as the last item
601 606 and item fetching is canceled. This prevents ibrowse from aborting if e.g.
602 607 a generator throws an exception midway through execution.
603 608
604 609 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py: Turn ifile's properties mimetype and
605 610 encoding into methods.
606 611
607 612 2006-07-26 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
608 613
609 614 * iplib.py: history now stores multiline input as single
610 615 history entries. Patch by Jorgen Cederlof.
611 616
612 617 2006-07-18 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
613 618
614 619 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Make cursor visible over
615 620 non existing attributes.
616 621
617 622 2006-07-14 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
618 623
619 624 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (ix): Use os.popen4() so that the
620 625 error output of the running command doesn't mess up the screen.
621 626
622 627 2006-07-13 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
623 628
624 629 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (isort): Make isort usable without
625 630 argument. This sorts the items themselves.
626 631
627 632 2006-07-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
628 633
629 634 * IPython/Extensions/ipipe.py (eval, ifilter, isort, ieval):
630 635 Compile expression strings into code objects. This should speed
631 636 up ifilter and friends somewhat.
632 637
633 638 2006-07-08 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
634 639
635 640 * Magic.py: %cpaste now strips > from the beginning of lines
636 641 to ease pasting quoted code from emails. Contributed by
637 642 Stefan van der Walt.
638 643
639 644 2006-06-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
640 645
641 646 * ipmaker.py, Shell.py: qt4agg matplotlib backend support for pylab
642 647 mode, patch contributed by Darren Dale. NEEDS TESTING!
643 648
644 649 2006-06-28 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
645 650
646 651 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Give the ibrowse cursor row
647 652 a blue background. Fix fetching new display rows when the browser
648 653 scrolls more than a screenful (e.g. by using the goto command).
649 654
650 655 2006-06-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
651 656
652 657 * Magic.py (_inspect, _ofind) Apply David Huard's
653 658 patch for displaying the correct docstring for 'property'
654 659 attributes.
655 660
656 661 2006-06-23 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
657 662
658 663 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Put the documentation of the keyboard
659 664 commands into the methods implementing them.
660 665
661 666 2006-06-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
662 667
663 668 * ipython.el (ipython-indentation-hook): cleanup patch, submitted
664 669 by Kov Chai <tchaikov-AT-gmail.com>. He notes that the original
665 670 autoindent support was authored by Jin Liu.
666 671
667 672 2006-06-22 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
668 673
669 674 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Replace the plain dictionaries used
670 675 for keymaps with a custom class that simplifies handling.
671 676
672 677 2006-06-19 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
673 678
674 679 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: ibrowse now properly handles terminal
675 680 resizing. This requires Python 2.5 to work.
676 681
677 682 2006-06-16 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
678 683
679 684 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add two new commands to
680 685 ibrowse: "hideattr" (mapped to "h") hides the attribute under
681 686 the cursor. "unhiderattrs" (mapped to "H") reveals all hidden
682 687 attributes again. Remapped the help command to "?". Display
683 688 keycodes in the range 0x01-0x1F as CTRL-xx. Add CTRL-a and CTRL-e
684 689 as keys for the "home" and "end" commands. Add three new commands
685 690 to the input mode for "find" and friends: "delend" (CTRL-K)
686 691 deletes to the end of line. "incsearchup" searches upwards in the
687 692 command history for an input that starts with the text before the cursor.
688 693 "incsearchdown" does the same downwards. Removed a bogus mapping of
689 694 the x key to "delete".
690 695
691 696 2006-06-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
692 697
693 698 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added new generate_prompt hook that can be
694 699 used to create prompts dynamically, instead of the "old" way of
695 700 assigning "magic" strings to prompt_in1 and prompt_in2. The old
696 701 way still works (it's invoked by the default hook), of course.
697 702
698 703 * Prompts.py: added generate_output_prompt hook for altering output
699 704 prompt
700 705
701 706 * Release.py: Changed version string to 0.7.3.svn.
702 707
703 708 2006-06-15 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
704 709
705 710 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Change _BrowserLevel.moveto() so that
706 711 the call to fetch() always tries to fetch enough data for at least one
707 712 full screen. This makes it possible to simply call moveto(0,0,True) in
708 713 the constructor. Fix typos and removed the obsolete goto attribute.
709 714
710 715 2006-06-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
711 716
712 717 * ipy_profile_sh.py: applied Krisha Mohan Gundu's patch for
713 718 allowing $variable interpolation within multiline statements,
714 719 though so far only with "sh" profile for a testing period.
715 720 The patch also enables splitting long commands with \ but it
716 721 doesn't work properly yet.
717 722
718 723 2006-06-12 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
719 724
720 725 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py (_dodisplay): Display the length of the
721 726 input history and the position of the cursor in the input history for
722 727 the find, findbackwards and goto command.
723 728
724 729 2006-06-10 Walter Doerwald <walter@livinglogic.de>
725 730
726 731 * IPython/Extensions/ibrowse.py: Add a class _CommandInput that
727 732 implements the basic functionality of browser commands that require
728 733 input. Reimplement the goto, find and findbackwards commands as
729 734 subclasses of _CommandInput. Add an input history and keymaps to those
730 735 commands. Add "\r" as a keyboard shortcut for the enterdefault and
731 736 execute commands.
732 737
733 738 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
734 739
735 740 * iplib.py: ipython mybatch.ipy exits ipython immediately after
736 741 running the batch files instead of leaving the session open.
737 742
738 743 2006-06-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
739 744
740 745 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): update BSD fix, as
741 746 the original fix was incomplete. Patch submitted by W. Maier.
742 747
743 748 2006-06-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
744 749
745 750 * iplib.py,Magic.py, ipmaker.py (magic_rehashx):
746 751 Confirmation prompts can be supressed by 'quiet' option.
747 752 _ip.options.quiet = 1 means "assume yes for all yes/no queries".
748 753
749 754 2006-06-06 *** Released version 0.7.2
750 755
751 756 2006-06-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
752 757
753 758 * IPython/Release.py (version): Made 0.7.2 final for release.
754 759 Repo tagged and release cut.
755 760
756 761 2006-06-05 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
757 762
758 763 * Magic.py (magic_rehashx): Honor no_alias list earlier in
759 764 %rehashx, to avoid clobbering builtins in ipy_profile_sh.py
760 765
761 766 * upgrade_dir.py: try import 'path' module a bit harder
762 767 (for %upgrade)
763 768
764 769 2006-06-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
765 770
766 771 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): treat EOF as a default answer
767 772 instead of looping 20 times.
768 773
769 774 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): honor -ipythondir flag
770 775 correctly at initialization time. Bug reported by Krishna Mohan
771 776 Gundu <gkmohan-AT-gmail.com> on the user list.
772 777
773 778 * IPython/Release.py (version): Mark 0.7.2 version to start
774 779 testing for release on 06/06.
775 780
776 781 2006-05-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
777 782
778 783 * scripts/irunner: thin script interface so users don't have to
779 784 find the module and call it as an executable, since modules rarely
780 785 live in people's PATH.
781 786
782 787 * IPython/irunner.py (InteractiveRunner.__init__): added
783 788 delaybeforesend attribute to control delays with newer versions of
784 789 pexpect. Thanks to detailed help from pexpect's author, Noah
785 790 Spurrier <noah-AT-noah.org>. Noted how to use the SAGE runner
786 791 correctly (it works in NoColor mode).
787 792
788 793 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix nasty crash reported on
789 794 SAGE list, from improper log() calls.
790 795
791 796 2006-05-31 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
792 797
793 798 * upgrade_dir.py, Magic.py (magic_upgrade): call upgrade_dir
794 799 with args in parens to work correctly with dirs that have spaces.
795 800
796 801 2006-05-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
797 802
798 803 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstart): add option to log raw input
799 804 instead of the processed one. A -r flag was added to the
800 805 %logstart magic used for controlling logging.
801 806
802 807 2006-05-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
803 808
804 809 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add check for the
805 810 *BSDs to omit --color from all 'ls' aliases, since *BSD ls doesn't
806 811 recognize the option. After a bug report by Will Maier. This
807 812 closes #64 (will do it after confirmation from W. Maier).
808 813
809 814 * IPython/irunner.py: New module to run scripts as if manually
810 815 typed into an interactive environment, based on pexpect. After a
811 816 submission by Ken Schutte <kschutte-AT-csail.mit.edu> on the
812 817 ipython-user list. Simple unittests in the tests/ directory.
813 818
814 819 * tools/release: add Will Maier, OpenBSD port maintainer, to
815 820 recepients list. We are now officially part of the OpenBSD ports:
816 821 http://www.openbsd.org/ports.html ! Many thanks to Will for the
817 822 work.
818 823
819 824 2006-05-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
820 825
821 826 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): modify sys.argv fix (below)
822 827 so that it doesn't break tkinter apps.
823 828
824 829 * IPython/iplib.py (_prefilter): fix bug where aliases would
825 830 shadow variables when autocall was fully off. Reported by SAGE
826 831 author William Stein.
827 832
828 833 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.__init__): add a flag to control
829 834 at what detail level strings are computed when foo? is requested.
830 835 This allows users to ask for example that the string form of an
831 836 object is only computed when foo?? is called, or even never, by
832 837 setting the object_info_string_level >= 2 in the configuration
833 838 file. This new option has been added and documented. After a
834 839 request by SAGE to be able to control the printing of very large
835 840 objects more easily.
836 841
837 842 2006-05-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
838 843
839 844 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove the ipython call path
840 845 from sys.argv, to be 100% consistent with how Python itself works
841 846 (as seen for example with python -i file.py). After a bug report
842 847 by Jeffrey Collins.
843 848
844 849 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix
845 850 nasty bug which was preventing custom namespaces with -pylab,
846 851 reported by M. Foord. Minor cleanup, remove old matplotlib.matlab
847 852 compatibility (long gone from mpl).
848 853
849 854 * IPython/ipapi.py (make_session): name change: create->make. We
850 855 use make in other places (ipmaker,...), it's shorter and easier to
851 856 type and say, etc. I'm trying to clean things before 0.7.2 so
852 857 that I can keep things stable wrt to ipapi in the chainsaw branch.
853 858
854 859 * ipython.el: fix the py-pdbtrack-input-prompt variable so that
855 860 python-mode recognizes our debugger mode. Add support for
856 861 autoindent inside (X)emacs. After a patch sent in by Jin Liu
857 862 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> originally written by
858 863 doxgen-AT-newsmth.net (with minor modifications for xemacs
859 864 compatibility)
860 865
861 866 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.format_stack_entry): fix formatting of
862 867 tracebacks when walking the stack so that the stack tracking system
863 868 in emacs' python-mode can identify the frames correctly.
864 869
865 870 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the internal (and
866 871 default config) autoedit_syntax value false by default. Too many
867 872 users have complained to me (both on and off-list) about problems
868 873 with this option being on by default, so I'm making it default to
869 874 off. It can still be enabled by anyone via the usual mechanisms.
870 875
871 876 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add support for
872 877 PyCrust-style _getAttributeNames magic method. Patch contributed
873 878 by <mscott-AT-goldenspud.com>. Closes #50.
874 879
875 880 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): remove the
876 881 deletion of exit/quit from __builtin__, which can break
877 882 third-party tools like the Zope debugging console. The
878 883 %exit/%quit magics remain. In general, it's probably a good idea
879 884 not to delete anything from __builtin__, since we never know what
880 885 that will break. In any case, python now (for 2.5) will support
881 886 'real' exit/quit, so this issue is moot. Closes #55.
882 887
883 888 * IPython/genutils.py (with_obj): rename the 'with' function to
884 889 'withobj' to avoid incompatibilities with Python 2.5, where 'with'
885 890 becomes a language keyword. Closes #53.
886 891
887 892 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): add a proper
888 893 __file__ attribute to this so it fools more things into thinking
889 894 it is a real module. Closes #59.
890 895
891 896 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add -n option to open the editor
892 897 at a specific line number. After a patch by Stefan van der Walt.
893 898
894 899 2006-05-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
895 900
896 901 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): fix crash when for some
897 902 reason the file could not be opened. After automatic crash
898 903 reports sent by James Graham <jgraham-AT-ast.cam.ac.uk> and
899 904 Charles Dolan <charlespatrickdolan-AT-yahoo.com>.
900 905 (_should_recompile): Don't fire editor if using %bg, since there
901 906 is no file in the first place. From the same report as above.
902 907 (raw_input): protect against faulty third-party prefilters. After
903 908 an automatic crash report sent by Dirk Laurie <dirk-AT-sun.ac.za>
904 909 while running under SAGE.
905 910
906 911 2006-05-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
907 912
908 913 * ipapi.py: Stripped down ip.to_user_ns() to work only as
909 914 ip.to_user_ns("x1 y1"), which exposes vars x1 and y1. ipapi.get()
910 915 now returns None (again), unless dummy is specifically allowed by
911 916 ipapi.get(allow_dummy=True).
912 917
913 918 2006-05-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
914 919
915 920 * IPython: remove all 2.2-compatibility objects and hacks from
916 921 everywhere, since we only support 2.3 at this point. Docs
917 922 updated.
918 923
919 924 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.__init__): Cleanup of all getters.
920 925 Anything requiring extra validation can be turned into a Python
921 926 property in the future. I used a property for the db one b/c
922 927 there was a nasty circularity problem with the initialization
923 928 order, which right now I don't have time to clean up.
924 929
925 930 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Fix, I think,
926 931 another locking bug reported by Jorgen. I'm not 100% sure though,
927 932 so more testing is needed...
928 933
929 934 2006-05-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
930 935
931 936 * IPython/ipapi.py (IPApi.to_user_ns): New function to inject
932 937 local variables from any routine in user code (typically executed
933 938 with %run) directly into the interactive namespace. Very useful
934 939 when doing complex debugging.
935 940 (IPythonNotRunning): Changed the default None object to a dummy
936 941 whose attributes can be queried as well as called without
937 942 exploding, to ease writing code which works transparently both in
938 943 and out of ipython and uses some of this API.
939 944
940 945 2006-05-16 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
941 946
942 947 * IPython/hooks.py (result_display): Fix the fact that our display
943 948 hook was using str() instead of repr(), as the default python
944 949 console does. This had gone unnoticed b/c it only happened if
945 950 %Pprint was off, but the inconsistency was there.
946 951
947 952 2006-05-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
948 953
949 954 * Oinspect.py: Only show docstring for nonexisting/binary files
950 955 when doing object??, closing ticket #62
951 956
952 957 2006-05-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
953 958
954 959 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Fix threading
955 960 bug, closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue55. A lock
956 961 was being released in a routine which hadn't checked if it had
957 962 been the one to acquire it.
958 963
959 964 2006-05-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
960 965
961 966 * IPython/Release.py (version): put out 0.7.2.rc1 for testing.
962 967
963 968 2006-04-11 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
964 969
965 970 * iplib.py, ipmaker.py: .ipy extension now means "ipython batch file"
966 971 in command line. E.g. "ipython test.ipy" runs test.ipy with ipython
967 972 prefilters, allowing stuff like magics and aliases in the file.
968 973
969 974 * Prompts.py, Extensions/clearcmd.py, ipy_system_conf.py: %clear magic
970 975 added. Supported now are "%clear in" and "%clear out" (clear input and
971 976 output history, respectively). Also fixed CachedOutput.flush to
972 977 properly flush the output cache.
973 978
974 979 * Extensions/pspersistence.py: Fix %store to avoid "%store obj.attr"
975 980 half-success (and fail explicitly).
976 981
977 982 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
978 983
979 984 * iplib.py: Fix quoting of aliases so that only argless ones
980 985 are quoted
981 986
982 987 2006-03-28 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
983 988
984 989 * iplib.py: Quote aliases with spaces in the name.
985 990 "c:\program files\blah\bin" is now legal alias target.
986 991
987 992 * ext_rehashdir.py: Space no longer allowed as arg
988 993 separator, since space is legal in path names.
989 994
990 995 2006-03-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
991 996
992 997 * upgrade_dir.py: Take path.py from Extensions, correcting
993 998 %upgrade magic
994 999
995 1000 * ipmaker.py: Suggest using %upgrade if ipy_user_conf.py isn't found.
996 1001
997 1002 * hooks.py: Only enclose editor binary in quotes if legal and
998 1003 necessary (space in the name, and is an existing file). Fixes a bug
999 1004 reported by Zachary Pincus.
1000 1005
1001 1006 2006-03-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1002 1007
1003 1008 * Manual: thanks to a tip on proper color handling for Emacs, by
1004 1009 Eric J Haywiser <ejh1-AT-MIT.EDU>.
1005 1010
1006 1011 * ipython.el: close http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue57
1007 1012 by applying the provided patch. Thanks to Liu Jin
1008 1013 <m.liu.jin-AT-gmail.com> for the contribution. No problems under
1009 1014 XEmacs/Linux, I'm trusting the submitter that it actually helps
1010 1015 under win32/GNU Emacs. Will revisit if any problems are reported.
1011 1016
1012 1017 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1013 1018
1014 1019 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (_FileClass): update for current Gnuplot.py
1015 1020 from SVN, thanks to a patch by Ryan Woodard <rywo@bas.ac.uk>.
1016 1021
1017 1022 2006-03-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1018 1023
1019 1024 * Magic.py (magic_timeit): Added %timeit magic, contributed by
1020 1025 Torsten Marek.
1021 1026
1022 1027 2006-03-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1023 1028
1024 1029 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_macro): fix so that the n1-n2 syntax for
1025 1030 line ranges works again.
1026 1031
1027 1032 2006-03-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1028 1033
1029 1034 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): add back sys.last_traceback
1030 1035 and friends, after a discussion with Zach Pincus on ipython-user.
1031 1036 I'm not 100% sure, but after thinking about it quite a bit, it may
1032 1037 be OK. Testing with the multithreaded shells didn't reveal any
1033 1038 problems, but let's keep an eye out.
1034 1039
1035 1040 In the process, I fixed a few things which were calling
1036 1041 self.InteractiveTB() directly (like safe_execfile), which is a
1037 1042 mistake: ALL exception reporting should be done by calling
1038 1043 self.showtraceback(), which handles state and tab-completion and
1039 1044 more.
1040 1045
1041 1046 2006-03-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1042 1047
1043 1048 * Extensions/ipipe.py: Added Walter Doerwald's "ipipe" module.
1044 1049 To use, do "from ipipe import *".
1045 1050
1046 1051 2006-02-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1047 1052
1048 1053 * Magic.py, upgrade_dir.py: %upgrade magic added. Does things more
1049 1054 "cleanly" and safely than the older upgrade mechanism.
1050 1055
1051 1056 2006-02-21 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1052 1057
1053 1058 * Magic.py: %save works again.
1054 1059
1055 1060 2006-02-15 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1056 1061
1057 1062 * Magic.py: %Pprint works again
1058 1063
1059 1064 * Extensions/ipy_sane_defaults.py: Provide everything provided
1060 1065 in default ipythonrc, to make it possible to have a completely empty
1061 1066 ipythonrc (and thus completely rc-file free configuration)
1062 1067
1063 1068 2006-02-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1064 1069
1065 1070 * IPython/hooks.py (editor): quote the call to the editor command,
1066 1071 to allow commands with spaces in them. Problem noted by watching
1067 1072 Ian Oswald's video about textpad under win32 at
1068 1073 http://showmedo.com/videoListPage?listKey=PythonIPythonSeries
1069 1074
1070 1075 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Replace @ signs with % when
1071 1076 describing magics (we haven't used @ for a loong time).
1072 1077
1073 1078 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text.text_repr): Added patch
1074 1079 contributed by marienz to close
1075 1080 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue53.
1076 1081
1077 1082 2006-02-10 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1078 1083
1079 1084 * genutils.py: getoutput now works in win32 too
1080 1085
1081 1086 * completer.py: alias and magic completion only invoked
1082 1087 at the first "item" in the line, to avoid "cd %store"
1083 1088 nonsense.
1084 1089
1085 1090 2006-02-09 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1086 1091
1087 1092 * test/*: Added a unit testing framework (finally).
1088 1093 '%run runtests.py' to run test_*.
1089 1094
1090 1095 * ipapi.py: Exposed runlines and set_custom_exc
1091 1096
1092 1097 2006-02-07 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1093 1098
1094 1099 * iplib.py: don't split "f 1 2" to "f(1,2)" in autocall,
1095 1100 instead use "f(1 2)" as before.
1096 1101
1097 1102 2006-02-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1098 1103
1099 1104 * IPython/demo.py (IPythonDemo): Add new classes to the demo
1100 1105 facilities, for demos processed by the IPython input filter
1101 1106 (IPythonDemo), and for running a script one-line-at-a-time as a
1102 1107 demo, both for pure Python (LineDemo) and for IPython-processed
1103 1108 input (IPythonLineDemo). After a request by Dave Kohel, from the
1104 1109 SAGE team.
1105 1110 (Demo.edit): added an edit() method to the demo objects, to edit
1106 1111 the in-memory copy of the last executed block.
1107 1112
1108 1113 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): add '-r' option for 'raw'
1109 1114 processing to %edit, %macro and %save. These commands can now be
1110 1115 invoked on the unprocessed input as it was typed by the user
1111 1116 (without any prefilters applied). After requests by the SAGE team
1112 1117 at SAGE days 2006: http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage/days1/schedule.html.
1113 1118
1114 1119 2006-02-01 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1115 1120
1116 1121 * setup.py, eggsetup.py: easy_install ipython==dev works
1117 1122 correctly now (on Linux)
1118 1123
1119 1124 * ipy_user_conf,ipmaker: user config changes, removed spurious
1120 1125 warnings
1121 1126
1122 1127 * iplib: if rc.banner is string, use it as is.
1123 1128
1124 1129 * Magic: %pycat accepts a string argument and pages it's contents.
1125 1130

1129 1134 * pickleshare,pspersistence,ipapi,Magic: persistence overhaul.
1130 1135 Now %store and bookmarks work through PickleShare, meaning that
1131 1136 concurrent access is possible and all ipython sessions see the
1132 1137 same database situation all the time, instead of snapshot of
1133 1138 the situation when the session was started. Hence, %bookmark
1134 1139 results are immediately accessible from othes sessions. The database
1135 1140 is also available for use by user extensions. See:
1136 1141 http://www.python.org/pypi/pickleshare
1137 1142
1138 1143 * hooks.py: Two new hooks, 'shutdown_hook' and 'late_startup_hook'.
1139 1144
1140 1145 * aliases can now be %store'd
1141 1146
1142 1147 * path.py moved to Extensions so that pickleshare does not need
1143 1148 IPython-specific import. Extensions added to pythonpath right
1144 1149 at __init__.
1145 1150
1146 1151 * iplib.py: ipalias deprecated/redundant; aliases are converted and
1147 1152 called with _ip.system and the pre-transformed command string.
1148 1153
1149 1154 2006-01-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1150 1155
1151 1156 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Fix that we were not catching
1152 1157 KeyboardInterrupt exceptions properly. I'm not quite sure why the
1153 1158 logic here had to change, but it's fixed now.
1154 1159
1155 1160 2006-01-29 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1156 1161
1157 1162 * iplib.py: Try to import pyreadline on Windows.
1158 1163
1159 1164 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1160 1165
1161 1166 * iplib.py: Expose ipapi as _ip in builtin namespace.
1162 1167 Makes ipmagic (-> _ip.magic), ipsystem (-> _ip.system)
1163 1168 and ip_set_hook (-> _ip.set_hook) redundant. % and !
1164 1169 syntax now produce _ip.* variant of the commands.
1165 1170
1166 1171 * "_ip.options().autoedit_syntax = 2" automatically throws
1167 1172 user to editor for syntax error correction without prompting.
1168 1173
1169 1174 2006-01-27 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1170 1175
1171 1176 * ipmaker.py: Give "realistic" sys.argv for scripts (without
1172 1177 'ipython' at argv[0]) executed through command line.
1173 1178 NOTE: this DEPRECATES calling ipython with multiple scripts
1174 1179 ("ipython a.py b.py c.py")
1175 1180
1176 1181 * iplib.py, hooks.py: Added configurable input prefilter,
1177 1182 named 'input_prefilter'. See ext_rescapture.py for example
1178 1183 usage.
1179 1184
1180 1185 * ext_rescapture.py, Magic.py: Better system command output capture
1181 1186 through 'var = !ls' (deprecates user-visible %sc). Same notation
1182 1187 applies for magics, 'var = %alias' assigns alias list to var.
1183 1188
1184 1189 * ipapi.py: added meta() for accessing extension-usable data store.
1185 1190
1186 1191 * iplib.py: added InteractiveShell.getapi(). New magics should be
1187 1192 written doing self.getapi() instead of using the shell directly.
1188 1193
1189 1194 * Magic.py: %store now allows doing %store foo > ~/myfoo.txt and
1190 1195 %store foo >> ~/myfoo.txt to store variables to files (in clean
1191 1196 textual form, not a restorable pickle).
1192 1197
1193 1198 * ipmaker.py: now import ipy_profile_PROFILENAME automatically
1194 1199
1195 1200 * usage.py, Magic.py: added %quickref
1196 1201
1197 1202 * iplib.py: ESC_PAREN fixes: /f 1 2 -> f(1,2), not f(1 2).
1198 1203
1199 1204 * GetoptErrors when invoking magics etc. with wrong args
1200 1205 are now more helpful:
1201 1206 GetoptError: option -l not recognized (allowed: "qb" )
1202 1207
1203 1208 2006-01-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1204 1209
1205 1210 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.show): Flush stdout after each block, so
1206 1211 computationally intensive blocks don't appear to stall the demo.
1207 1212
1208 1213 2006-01-24 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1209 1214
1210 1215 * iplib.py, hooks.py: 'result_display' hook can return a non-None
1211 1216 value to manipulate resulting history entry.
1212 1217
1213 1218 * ipapi.py: Moved TryNext here from hooks.py. Moved functions
1214 1219 to instance methods of IPApi class, to make extending an embedded
1215 1220 IPython feasible. See ext_rehashdir.py for example usage.
1216 1221
1217 1222 * Merged 1071-1076 from branches/0.7.1
1218 1223
1219 1224
1220 1225 2006-01-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1221 1226
1222 1227 * tools/release (daystamp): Fix build tools to use the new
1223 1228 eggsetup.py script to build lightweight eggs.
1224 1229
1225 1230 * Applied changesets 1062 and 1064 before 0.7.1 release.
1226 1231
1227 1232 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): Add '-r' option to %hist, to
1228 1233 see the raw input history (without conversions like %ls ->
1229 1234 ipmagic("ls")). After a request from W. Stein, SAGE
1230 1235 (http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage) developer. This information is
1231 1236 stored in the input_hist_raw attribute of the IPython instance, so
1232 1237 developers can access it if needed (it's an InputList instance).
1233 1238
1234 1239 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1235 1240
1236 1241 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1237 1242 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1238 1243 \python24\scripts).
1239 1244
1240 1245 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1241 1246 egg.
1242 1247
1243 1248 2006-01-23 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1244 1249
1245 1250 * Added %cpaste magic for pasting python code
1246 1251
1247 1252 2006-01-22 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1248 1253
1249 1254 * Merge from branches/0.7.1 into trunk, revs 1052-1057
1250 1255
1251 1256 * Versionstring = 0.7.2.svn
1252 1257
1253 1258 * eggsetup.py: A separate script for constructing eggs, creates
1254 1259 proper launch scripts even on Windows (an .exe file in
1255 1260 \python24\scripts).
1256 1261
1257 1262 * ipapi.py: launch_new_instance, launch entry point needed for the
1258 1263 egg.
1259 1264
1260 1265 2006-01-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1261 1266
1262 1267 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): fix bug where foo?? or
1263 1268 %pfile foo would print the file for foo even if it was a binary.
1264 1269 Now, extensions '.so' and '.dll' are skipped.
1265 1270
1266 1271 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): Fix threading
1267 1272 bug, where macros would fail in all threaded modes. I'm not 100%
1268 1273 sure, so I'm going to put out an rc instead of making a release
1269 1274 today, and wait for feedback for at least a few days.
1270 1275
1271 1276 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): fix (finally? somehow I doubt
1272 1277 it...) the handling of pasting external code with autoindent on.
1273 1278 To get out of a multiline input, the rule will appear for most
1274 1279 users unchanged: two blank lines or change the indent level
1275 1280 proposed by IPython. But there is a twist now: you can
1276 1281 add/subtract only *one or two spaces*. If you add/subtract three
1277 1282 or more (unless you completely delete the line), IPython will
1278 1283 accept that line, and you'll need to enter a second one of pure
1279 1284 whitespace. I know it sounds complicated, but I can't find a
1280 1285 different solution that covers all the cases, with the right
1281 1286 heuristics. Hopefully in actual use, nobody will really notice
1282 1287 all these strange rules and things will 'just work'.
1283 1288
1284 1289 2006-01-21 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1285 1290
1286 1291 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): catch exceptions which can be
1287 1292 triggered asynchronously by signal handlers. Thanks to an
1288 1293 automatic crash report, submitted by Colin Kingsley
1289 1294 <tercel-AT-gentoo.org>.
1290 1295
1291 1296 2006-01-20 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1292 1297
1293 1298 * Ipython/Extensions/ext_rehashdir.py: Created a usable example
1294 1299 (%rehashdir, very useful, try it out) of how to extend ipython
1295 1300 with new magics. Also added Extensions dir to pythonpath to make
1296 1301 importing extensions easy.
1297 1302
1298 1303 * %store now complains when trying to store interactively declared
1299 1304 classes / instances of those classes.
1300 1305
1301 1306 * Extensions/ipy_system_conf.py, UserConfig/ipy_user_conf.py,
1302 1307 ipmaker.py: Config rehaul. Now ipy_..._conf.py are always imported
1303 1308 if they exist, and ipy_user_conf.py with some defaults is created for
1304 1309 the user.
1305 1310
1306 1311 * Startup rehashing done by the config file, not InterpreterExec.
1307 1312 This means system commands are available even without selecting the
1308 1313 pysh profile. It's the sensible default after all.
1309 1314
1310 1315 2006-01-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1311 1316
1312 1317 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): I _think_ I got the pasting of
1313 1318 multiline code with autoindent on working. But I am really not
1314 1319 sure, so this needs more testing. Will commit a debug-enabled
1315 1320 version for now, while I test it some more, so that Ville and
1316 1321 others may also catch any problems. Also made
1317 1322 self.indent_current_str() a method, to ensure that there's no
1318 1323 chance of the indent space count and the corresponding string
1319 1324 falling out of sync. All code needing the string should just call
1320 1325 the method.
1321 1326
1322 1327 2006-01-18 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1323 1328
1324 1329 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): fix check for when users don't
1325 1330 save their output files, the try/except was in the wrong section.
1326 1331
1327 1332 2006-01-17 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1328 1333
1329 1334 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix __file__ global missing from
1330 1335 script's namespace when executed via %run. After a report by
1331 1336 Vivian.
1332 1337
1333 1338 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Fix breakage with '%run -d'
1334 1339 when using python 2.4. The parent constructor changed in 2.4, and
1335 1340 we need to track it directly (we can't call it, as it messes up
1336 1341 readline and tab-completion inside our pdb would stop working).
1337 1342 After a bug report by R. Bernstein <rocky-AT-panix.com>.
1338 1343
1339 1344 2006-01-16 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1340 1345
1341 1346 * Ipython/magic.py: Reverted back to old %edit functionality
1342 1347 that returns file contents on exit.
1343 1348
1344 1349 * IPython/path.py: Added Jason Orendorff's "path" module to
1345 1350 IPython tree, http://www.jorendorff.com/articles/python/path/.
1346 1351 You can get path objects conveniently through %sc, and !!, e.g.:
1347 1352 sc files=ls
1348 1353 for p in files.paths: # or files.p
1349 1354 print p,p.mtime
1350 1355
1351 1356 * Ipython/iplib.py:"," and ";" autoquoting-upon-autocall
1352 1357 now work again without considering the exclusion regexp -
1353 1358 hence, things like ',foo my/path' turn to 'foo("my/path")'
1354 1359 instead of syntax error.
1355 1360
1356 1361
1357 1362 2006-01-14 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1358 1363
1359 1364 * IPython/ipapi.py (ashook, asmagic, options): Added convenience
1360 1365 ipapi decorators for python 2.4 users, options() provides access to rc
1361 1366 data.
1362 1367
1363 1368 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): %cd now accepts backslashes
1364 1369 as path separators (even on Linux ;-). Space character after
1365 1370 backslash (as yielded by tab completer) is still space;
1366 1371 "%cd long\ name" works as expected.
1367 1372
1368 1373 * IPython/ipapi.py,hooks.py,iplib.py: Hooks now implemented
1369 1374 as "chain of command", with priority. API stays the same,
1370 1375 TryNext exception raised by a hook function signals that
1371 1376 current hook failed and next hook should try handling it, as
1372 1377 suggested by Walter DΓΆrwald <walter@livinglogic.de>. Walter also
1373 1378 requested configurable display hook, which is now implemented.
1374 1379
1375 1380 2006-01-13 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1376 1381
1377 1382 * IPython/platutils*.py: platform specific utility functions,
1378 1383 so far only set_term_title is implemented (change terminal
1379 1384 label in windowing systems). %cd now changes the title to
1380 1385 current dir.
1381 1386
1382 1387 * IPython/Release.py: Added myself to "authors" list,
1383 1388 had to create new files.
1384 1389
1385 1390 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fixed logical flaw in
1386 1391 shell escape; not a known bug but had potential to be one in the
1387 1392 future.
1388 1393
1389 1394 * IPython/ipapi.py (added),OInspect.py,iplib.py: "Public"
1390 1395 extension API for IPython! See the module for usage example. Fix
1391 1396 OInspect for docstring-less magic functions.
1392 1397
1393 1398
1394 1399 2006-01-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1395 1400
1396 1401 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): temporarily deactivate all
1397 1402 attempts at allowing pasting of code with autoindent on. It
1398 1403 introduced bugs (reported by Prabhu) and I can't seem to find a
1399 1404 robust combination which works in all cases. Will have to revisit
1400 1405 later.
1401 1406
1402 1407 * IPython/genutils.py: remove isspace() function. We've dropped
1403 1408 2.2 compatibility, so it's OK to use the string method.
1404 1409
1405 1410 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1406 1411
1407 1412 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix regexp
1408 1413 matching what NOT to autocall on, to include all python binary
1409 1414 operators (including things like 'and', 'or', 'is' and 'in').
1410 1415 Prompted by a bug report on 'foo & bar', but I realized we had
1411 1416 many more potential bug cases with other operators. The regexp is
1412 1417 self.re_exclude_auto, it's fairly commented.
1413 1418
1414 1419 2006-01-12 Ville Vainio <vivainio@gmail.com>
1415 1420
1416 1421 * IPython/iplib.py (make_quoted_expr,handle_shell_escape):
1417 1422 Prettified and hardened string/backslash quoting with ipsystem(),
1418 1423 ipalias() and ipmagic(). Now even \ characters are passed to
1419 1424 %magics, !shell escapes and aliases exactly as they are in the
1420 1425 ipython command line. Should improve backslash experience,
1421 1426 particularly in Windows (path delimiter for some commands that
1422 1427 won't understand '/'), but Unix benefits as well (regexps). %cd
1423 1428 magic still doesn't support backslash path delimiters, though. Also
1424 1429 deleted all pretense of supporting multiline command strings in
1425 1430 !system or %magic commands. Thanks to Jerry McRae for suggestions.
1426 1431
1427 1432 * doc/build_doc_instructions.txt added. Documentation on how to
1428 1433 use doc/update_manual.py, added yesterday. Both files contributed
1429 1434 by JΓΆrgen Stenarson <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>. This slates
1430 1435 doc/*.sh for deprecation at a later date.
1431 1436
1432 1437 * /ipython.py Added ipython.py to root directory for
1433 1438 zero-installation (tar xzvf ipython.tgz; cd ipython; python
1434 1439 ipython.py) and development convenience (no need to keep doing
1435 1440 "setup.py install" between changes).
1436 1441
1437 1442 * Made ! and !! shell escapes work (again) in multiline expressions:
1438 1443 if 1:
1439 1444 !ls
1440 1445 !!ls
1441 1446
1442 1447 2006-01-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1443 1448
1444 1449 * IPython/ipstruct.py (Struct): Rename IPython.Struct to
1445 1450 IPython.ipstruct, to avoid local shadowing of the stdlib 'struct'
1446 1451 module in case-insensitive installation. Was causing crashes
1447 1452 under win32. Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue49.
1448 1453
1449 1454 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): Fix pycat, patch by Marien Zwart
1450 1455 <marienz-AT-gentoo.org>, closes
1451 1456 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue51.
1452 1457
1453 1458 2006-01-11 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1454 1459
1455 1460 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.on_timer): Finally fix the
1456 1461 problem of excessive CPU usage under *nix and keyboard lag under
1457 1462 win32.
1458 1463
1459 1464 2006-01-10 *** Released version 0.7.0
1460 1465
1461 1466 2006-01-10 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1462 1467
1463 1468 * IPython/Release.py (revision): tag version number to 0.7.0,
1464 1469 ready for release.
1465 1470
1466 1471 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Add print statement to %edit so
1467 1472 it informs the user of the name of the temp. file used. This can
1468 1473 help if you decide later to reuse that same file, so you know
1469 1474 where to copy the info from.
1470 1475
1471 1476 2006-01-09 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1472 1477
1473 1478 * setup_bdist_egg.py: little script to build an egg. Added
1474 1479 support in the release tools as well.
1475 1480
1476 1481 2006-01-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1477 1482
1478 1483 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): add support for WXPython
1479 1484 version selection (new -wxversion command line and ipythonrc
1480 1485 parameter). Patch contributed by Arnd Baecker
1481 1486 <arnd.baecker-AT-web.de>.
1482 1487
1483 1488 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1484 1489 embedded instances, for variables defined at the interactive
1485 1490 prompt of the embedded ipython. Reported by Arnd.
1486 1491
1487 1492 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_autocall): Fix %autocall magic. Now
1488 1493 it can be used as a (stateful) toggle, or with a direct parameter.
1489 1494
1490 1495 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): remove debug assert which
1491 1496 could be triggered in certain cases and cause the traceback
1492 1497 printer not to work.
1493 1498
1494 1499 2006-01-07 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1495 1500
1496 1501 * IPython/iplib.py (_should_recompile): Small fix, closes
1497 1502 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue48. Patch by Scott.
1498 1503
1499 1504 2006-01-04 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1500 1505
1501 1506 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix bug in the GTK
1502 1507 backend for matplotlib (100% cpu utiliziation). Thanks to Charlie
1503 1508 Moad for help with tracking it down.
1504 1509
1505 1510 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fix autocall handling for
1506 1511 objects which support BOTH __getitem__ and __call__ (so that f [x]
1507 1512 is left alone, instead of becoming f([x]) automatically).
1508 1513
1509 1514 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_cd): fix crash when cd -b was used.
1510 1515 Ville's patch.
1511 1516
1512 1517 2006-01-03 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1513 1518
1514 1519 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): changed autocall semantics to
1515 1520 include 'smart' mode, where the autocall transformation is NOT
1516 1521 applied if there are no arguments on the line. This allows you to
1517 1522 just type 'foo' if foo is a callable to see its internal form,
1518 1523 instead of having it called with no arguments (typically a
1519 1524 mistake). The old 'full' autocall still exists: for that, you
1520 1525 need to set the 'autocall' parameter to 2 in your ipythonrc file.
1521 1526
1522 1527 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): add
1523 1528 tab-completion support for Enthoughts' traits. After a report by
1524 1529 Arnd and a patch by Prabhu.
1525 1530
1526 1531 2006-01-02 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1527 1532
1528 1533 * IPython/ultraTB.py (_fixed_getinnerframes): added Alex
1529 1534 Schmolck's patch to fix inspect.getinnerframes().
1530 1535
1531 1536 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): significant fixes
1532 1537 for embedded instances, regarding handling of namespaces and items
1533 1538 added to the __builtin__ one. Multiple embedded instances and
1534 1539 recursive embeddings should work better now (though I'm not sure
1535 1540 I've got all the corner cases fixed, that code is a bit of a brain
1536 1541 twister).
1537 1542
1538 1543 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): added support to edit in-memory
1539 1544 macros (automatically creates the necessary temp files). %edit
1540 1545 also doesn't return the file contents anymore, it's just noise.
1541 1546
1542 1547 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): revert change to
1543 1548 complete only on attributes listed in __all__. I realized it
1544 1549 cripples the tab-completion system as a tool for exploring the
1545 1550 internals of unknown libraries (it renders any non-__all__
1546 1551 attribute off-limits). I got bit by this when trying to see
1547 1552 something inside the dis module.
1548 1553
1549 1554 2005-12-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1550 1555
1551 1556 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add .meta
1552 1557 namespace for users and extension writers to hold data in. This
1553 1558 follows the discussion in
1554 1559 http://projects.scipy.org/ipython/ipython/wiki/RefactoringIPython.
1555 1560
1556 1561 * IPython/completer.py (IPCompleter.complete): small patch to help
1557 1562 tab-completion under Emacs, after a suggestion by John Barnard
1558 1563 <barnarj-AT-ccf.org>.
1559 1564
1560 1565 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.extract_input_slices): added support for
1561 1566 the slice notation in magics to use N-M to represent numbers N...M
1562 1567 (closed endpoints). This is used by %macro and %save.
1563 1568
1564 1569 * IPython/completer.py (Completer.attr_matches): for modules which
1565 1570 define __all__, complete only on those. After a patch by Jeffrey
1566 1571 Collins <jcollins_boulder-AT-earthlink.net>. Also, clean up and
1567 1572 speed up this routine.
1568 1573
1569 1574 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix a history handling bug. I
1570 1575 don't know if this is the end of it, but the behavior now is
1571 1576 certainly much more correct. Note that coupled with macros,
1572 1577 slightly surprising (at first) behavior may occur: a macro will in
1573 1578 general expand to multiple lines of input, so upon exiting, the
1574 1579 in/out counters will both be bumped by the corresponding amount
1575 1580 (as if the macro's contents had been typed interactively). Typing
1576 1581 %hist will reveal the intermediate (silently processed) lines.
1577 1582
1578 1583 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): fix a subtle bug which could cause
1579 1584 pickle to fail (%run was overwriting __main__ and not restoring
1580 1585 it, but pickle relies on __main__ to operate).
1581 1586
1582 1587 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell): fix pdb calling: I'm now
1583 1588 using properties, but forgot to make the main InteractiveShell
1584 1589 class a new-style class. Properties fail silently, and
1585 1590 mysteriously, with old-style class (getters work, but
1586 1591 setters don't do anything).
1587 1592
1588 1593 2005-12-30 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1589 1594
1590 1595 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): fix history reporting bug (I
1591 1596 know some nasties are still there, I just can't seem to find a
1592 1597 reproducible test case to track them down; the input history is
1593 1598 falling out of sync...)
1594 1599
1595 1600 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): fix bug where both
1596 1601 aliases and system accesses where broken for indented code (such
1597 1602 as loops).
1598 1603
1599 1604 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): fix small but critical bug for
1600 1605 win32 system access.
1601 1606
1602 1607 2005-12-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1603 1608
1604 1609 * IPython/iplib.py (showtraceback): remove use of the
1605 1610 sys.last_{type/value/traceback} structures, which are non
1606 1611 thread-safe.
1607 1612 (_prefilter): change control flow to ensure that we NEVER
1608 1613 introspect objects when autocall is off. This will guarantee that
1609 1614 having an input line of the form 'x.y', where access to attribute
1610 1615 'y' has side effects, doesn't trigger the side effect TWICE. It
1611 1616 is important to note that, with autocall on, these side effects
1612 1617 can still happen.
1613 1618 (ipsystem): new builtin, to complete the ip{magic/alias/system}
1614 1619 trio. IPython offers these three kinds of special calls which are
1615 1620 not python code, and it's a good thing to have their call method
1616 1621 be accessible as pure python functions (not just special syntax at
1617 1622 the command line). It gives us a better internal implementation
1618 1623 structure, as well as exposing these for user scripting more
1619 1624 cleanly.
1620 1625
1621 1626 * IPython/macro.py (Macro.__init__): moved macros to a standalone
1622 1627 file. Now that they'll be more likely to be used with the
1623 1628 persistance system (%store), I want to make sure their module path
1624 1629 doesn't change in the future, so that we don't break things for
1625 1630 users' persisted data.
1626 1631
1627 1632 * IPython/iplib.py (autoindent_update): move indentation
1628 1633 management into the _text_ processing loop, not the keyboard
1629 1634 interactive one. This is necessary to correctly process non-typed
1630 1635 multiline input (such as macros).
1631 1636
1632 1637 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.format_latex): patch by Stefan van der
1633 1638 Walt <stefan-AT-sun.ac.za> to fix latex formatting of docstrings,
1634 1639 which was producing problems in the resulting manual.
1635 1640 (magic_whos): improve reporting of instances (show their class,
1636 1641 instead of simply printing 'instance' which isn't terribly
1637 1642 informative).
1638 1643
1639 1644 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): commit Jorgen Stenarson's patch
1640 1645 (minor mods) to support network shares under win32.
1641 1646
1642 1647 * IPython/winconsole.py (get_console_size): add new winconsole
1643 1648 module and fixes to page_dumb() to improve its behavior under
1644 1649 win32. Contributed by Alexander Belchenko <bialix-AT-ukr.net>.
1645 1650
1646 1651 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro): simplified Macro class to just
1647 1652 subclass list. We've had only 2.2 compatibility for a very long
1648 1653 time, yet I was still avoiding subclassing the builtin types. No
1649 1654 more (I'm also starting to use properties, though I won't shift to
1650 1655 2.3-specific features quite yet).
1651 1656 (magic_store): added Ville's patch for lightweight variable
1652 1657 persistence, after a request on the user list by Matt Wilkie
1653 1658 <maphew-AT-gmail.com>. The new %store magic's docstring has full
1654 1659 details.
1655 1660
1656 1661 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1657 1662 changed the default logfile name from 'ipython.log' to
1658 1663 'ipython_log.py'. These logs are real python files, and now that
1659 1664 we have much better multiline support, people are more likely to
1660 1665 want to use them as such. Might as well name them correctly.
1661 1666
1662 1667 * IPython/Magic.py: substantial cleanup. While we can't stop
1663 1668 using magics as mixins, due to the existing customizations 'out
1664 1669 there' which rely on the mixin naming conventions, at least I
1665 1670 cleaned out all cross-class name usage. So once we are OK with
1666 1671 breaking compatibility, the two systems can be separated.
1667 1672
1668 1673 * IPython/Logger.py: major cleanup. This one is NOT a mixin
1669 1674 anymore, and the class is a fair bit less hideous as well. New
1670 1675 features were also introduced: timestamping of input, and logging
1671 1676 of output results. These are user-visible with the -t and -o
1672 1677 options to %logstart. Closes
1673 1678 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue11 and a request by
1674 1679 William Stein (SAGE developer - http://modular.ucsd.edu/sage).
1675 1680
1676 1681 2005-12-28 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1677 1682
1678 1683 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_shell_escape): add Ville's patch to
1679 1684 better handle backslashes in paths. See the thread 'More Windows
1680 1685 questions part 2 - \/ characters revisited' on the iypthon user
1681 1686 list:
1682 1687 http://scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-user/2005-June/000907.html
1683 1688
1684 1689 (InteractiveShell.__init__): fix tab-completion bug in threaded shells.
1685 1690
1686 1691 (InteractiveShell.__init__): change threaded shells to not use the
1687 1692 ipython crash handler. This was causing more problems than not,
1688 1693 as exceptions in the main thread (GUI code, typically) would
1689 1694 always show up as a 'crash', when they really weren't.
1690 1695
1691 1696 The colors and exception mode commands (%colors/%xmode) have been
1692 1697 synchronized to also take this into account, so users can get
1693 1698 verbose exceptions for their threaded code as well. I also added
1694 1699 support for activating pdb inside this exception handler as well,
1695 1700 so now GUI authors can use IPython's enhanced pdb at runtime.
1696 1701
1697 1702 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the autoedit_syntax flag
1698 1703 true by default, and add it to the shipped ipythonrc file. Since
1699 1704 this asks the user before proceeding, I think it's OK to make it
1700 1705 true by default.
1701 1706
1702 1707 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_exit): make new exit/quit magics instead
1703 1708 of the previous special-casing of input in the eval loop. I think
1704 1709 this is cleaner, as they really are commands and shouldn't have
1705 1710 a special role in the middle of the core code.
1706 1711
1707 1712 2005-12-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1708 1713
1709 1714 * IPython/iplib.py (edit_syntax_error): added support for
1710 1715 automatically reopening the editor if the file had a syntax error
1711 1716 in it. Thanks to scottt who provided the patch at:
1712 1717 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue36 (slightly modified
1713 1718 version committed).
1714 1719
1715 1720 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_normal): add suport for multi-line
1716 1721 input with emtpy lines. This fixes
1717 1722 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue43 and a similar
1718 1723 discussion on the user list.
1719 1724
1720 1725 WARNING: a behavior change is necessarily introduced to support
1721 1726 blank lines: now a single blank line with whitespace does NOT
1722 1727 break the input loop, which means that when autoindent is on, by
1723 1728 default hitting return on the next (indented) line does NOT exit.
1724 1729
1725 1730 Instead, to exit a multiline input you can either have:
1726 1731
1727 1732 - TWO whitespace lines (just hit return again), or
1728 1733 - a single whitespace line of a different length than provided
1729 1734 by the autoindent (add or remove a space).
1730 1735
1731 1736 * IPython/completer.py (MagicCompleter.__init__): new 'completer'
1732 1737 module to better organize all readline-related functionality.
1733 1738 I've deleted FlexCompleter and put all completion clases here.
1734 1739
1735 1740 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input): improve indentation management.
1736 1741 It is now possible to paste indented code with autoindent on, and
1737 1742 the code is interpreted correctly (though it still looks bad on
1738 1743 screen, due to the line-oriented nature of ipython).
1739 1744 (MagicCompleter.complete): change behavior so that a TAB key on an
1740 1745 otherwise empty line actually inserts a tab, instead of completing
1741 1746 on the entire global namespace. This makes it easier to use the
1742 1747 TAB key for indentation. After a request by Hans Meine
1743 1748 <hans_meine-AT-gmx.net>
1744 1749 (_prefilter): add support so that typing plain 'exit' or 'quit'
1745 1750 does a sensible thing. Originally I tried to deviate as little as
1746 1751 possible from the default python behavior, but even that one may
1747 1752 change in this direction (thread on python-dev to that effect).
1748 1753 Regardless, ipython should do the right thing even if CPython's
1749 1754 '>>>' prompt doesn't.
1750 1755 (InteractiveShell): removed subclassing code.InteractiveConsole
1751 1756 class. By now we'd overridden just about all of its methods: I've
1752 1757 copied the remaining two over, and now ipython is a standalone
1753 1758 class. This will provide a clearer picture for the chainsaw
1754 1759 branch refactoring.
1755 1760
1756 1761 2005-12-26 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1757 1762
1758 1763 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): harden reporting against
1759 1764 failures for objects which break when dir() is called on them.
1760 1765
1761 1766 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.__init__): Added support for
1762 1767 distinct local and global namespaces in the completer API. This
1763 1768 change allows us to properly handle completion with distinct
1764 1769 scopes, including in embedded instances (this had never really
1765 1770 worked correctly).
1766 1771
1767 1772 Note: this introduces a change in the constructor for
1768 1773 MagicCompleter, as a new global_namespace parameter is now the
1769 1774 second argument (the others were bumped one position).
1770 1775
1771 1776 2005-12-25 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1772 1777
1773 1778 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): fix tab-completion in
1774 1779 embedded instances (which can be done now thanks to Vivian's
1775 1780 frame-handling fixes for pdb).
1776 1781 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix namespace handling problem in
1777 1782 embedded instances. We were overwriting __main__ unconditionally,
1778 1783 and this should only be done for 'full' (non-embedded) IPython;
1779 1784 embedded instances must respect the caller's __main__. Thanks to
1780 1785 a bug report by Yaroslav Bulatov <yaroslavvb-AT-gmail.com>
1781 1786
1782 1787 2005-12-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1783 1788
1784 1789 * setup.py: added download_url to setup(). This registers the
1785 1790 download address at PyPI, which is not only useful to humans
1786 1791 browsing the site, but is also picked up by setuptools (the Eggs
1787 1792 machinery). Thanks to Ville and R. Kern for the info/discussion
1788 1793 on this.
1789 1794
1790 1795 2005-12-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1791 1796
1792 1797 * IPython/Debugger.py (Pdb.__init__): Major pdb mode enhancements.
1793 1798 This brings a lot of nice functionality to the pdb mode, which now
1794 1799 has tab-completion, syntax highlighting, and better stack handling
1795 1800 than before. Many thanks to Vivian De Smedt
1796 1801 <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com> for the original patches.
1797 1802
1798 1803 2005-12-08 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1799 1804
1800 1805 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): fix mainloop() calling
1801 1806 sequence to consistently accept the banner argument. The
1802 1807 inconsistency was tripping SAGE, thanks to Gary Zablackis
1803 1808 <gzabl-AT-yahoo.com> for the report.
1804 1809
1805 1810 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1806 1811
1807 1812 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
1808 1813 Fix bug where a naked 'alias' call in the ipythonrc file would
1809 1814 cause a crash. Bug reported by Jorgen Stenarson.
1810 1815
1811 1816 2005-11-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1812 1817
1813 1818 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): cleanups which should improve
1814 1819 startup time.
1815 1820
1816 1821 * IPython/iplib.py (runcode): my globals 'fix' for embedded
1817 1822 instances had introduced a bug with globals in normal code. Now
1818 1823 it's working in all cases.
1819 1824
1820 1825 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): Finish wildcard cleanup and
1821 1826 API changes. A new ipytonrc option, 'wildcards_case_sensitive'
1822 1827 has been introduced to set the default case sensitivity of the
1823 1828 searches. Users can still select either mode at runtime on a
1824 1829 per-search basis.
1825 1830
1826 1831 2005-11-13 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1827 1832
1828 1833 * IPython/wildcard.py (NameSpace.__init__): fix resolution of
1829 1834 attributes in wildcard searches for subclasses. Modified version
1830 1835 of a patch by Jorgen.
1831 1836
1832 1837 2005-11-12 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1833 1838
1834 1839 * IPython/iplib.py (embed_mainloop): Fix handling of globals for
1835 1840 embedded instances. I added a user_global_ns attribute to the
1836 1841 InteractiveShell class to handle this.
1837 1842
1838 1843 2005-10-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>

1840 1845 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Change timeout_add to
1841 1846 idle_add, which fixes horrible keyboard lag problems under gtk 2.6
1842 1847 (reported under win32, but may happen also in other platforms).
1843 1848 Bug report and fix courtesy of Sean Moore <smm-AT-logic.bm>

1845 1850 2005-10-15 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1846 1851
1847 1852 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_psearch): new support for wildcard
1848 1853 patterns. Now, typing ?a*b will list all names which begin with a
1849 1854 and end in b, for example. The %psearch magic has full
1850 1855 docstrings. Many thanks to JΓΆrgen Stenarson
1851 1856 <jorgen.stenarson-AT-bostream.nu>, author of the patches
1852 1857 implementing this functionality.

1854 1859 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1855 1860
1856 1861 * Manual: fixed long-standing annoyance of double-dashes (as in
1857 1862 --prefix=~, for example) being stripped in the HTML version. This
1858 1863 is a latex2html bug, but a workaround was provided. Many thanks
1859 1864 to George K. Thiruvathukal <gthiruv-AT-luc.edu> for the detailed
1860 1865 help, and Michael Tobis <mtobis-AT-gmail.com> for getting the ball
1861 1866 rolling. This seemingly small issue had tripped a number of users
1862 1867 when first installing, so I'm glad to see it gone.
1863 1868
1864 1869 2005-09-27 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1865 1870
1866 1871 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py: fix missing import,
1867 1872 reported by Stephen Walton.
1868 1873
1869 1874 2005-09-24 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1870 1875
1871 1876 * IPython/demo.py: finish demo module, fully documented now.
1872 1877
1873 1878 * IPython/genutils.py (file_read): simple little utility to read a
1874 1879 file and ensure it's closed afterwards.
1875 1880
1876 1881 2005-09-23 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1877 1882
1878 1883 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for individually
1879 1884 tagging blocks for automatic execution.
1880 1885
1881 1886 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_pycat): new %pycat magic for showing
1882 1887 syntax-highlighted python sources, requested by John.
1883 1888
1884 1889 2005-09-22 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1885 1890
1886 1891 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.again): fix bug where again() blocks after
1887 1892 finishing.
1888 1893
1889 1894 * IPython/genutils.py (shlex_split): moved from Magic to here,
1890 1895 where all 2.2 compatibility stuff lives. I needed it for demo.py.
1891 1896
1892 1897 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): added support for silent
1893 1898 blocks, improved marks as regexps, docstrings written.
1894 1899 (Demo.__init__): better docstring, added support for sys.argv.
1895 1900
1896 1901 * IPython/genutils.py (marquee): little utility used by the demo
1897 1902 code, handy in general.
1898 1903
1899 1904 * IPython/demo.py (Demo.__init__): new class for interactive
1900 1905 demos. Not documented yet, I just wrote it in a hurry for
1901 1906 scipy'05. Will docstring later.
1902 1907
1903 1908 2005-09-20 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1904 1909
1905 1910 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Drastic simplification which
1906 1911 also seems to make Ctrl-C work correctly across threads! This is
1907 1912 so simple, that I can't beleive I'd missed it before. Needs more
1908 1913 testing, though.
1909 1914 (KBINT): Never mind, revert changes. I'm sure I'd tried something
1910 1915 like this before...
1911 1916
1912 1917 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): add protection against
1913 1918 non-dirs in win32 registry.
1914 1919
1915 1920 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_validate): fix
1916 1921 bug where dict was mutated while iterating (pysh crash).
1917 1922
1918 1923 2005-09-06 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1919 1924
1920 1925 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix inconsistency arising from
1921 1926 spurious newlines added by this routine. After a report by
1922 1927 F. Mantegazza.
1923 1928
1924 1929 2005-09-05 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1925 1930
1926 1931 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_gtk): remove pygtk.require("2.0")
1927 1932 calls. These were a leftover from the GTK 1.x days, and can cause
1928 1933 problems in certain cases (after a report by John Hunter).
1929 1934
1930 1935 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Trap exception if
1931 1936 os.getcwd() fails at init time. Thanks to patch from David Remahl
1932 1937 <chmod007-AT-mac.com>.
1933 1938 (InteractiveShell.__init__): prevent certain special magics from
1934 1939 being shadowed by aliases. Closes
1935 1940 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue41.
1936 1941
1937 1942 2005-08-31 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1938 1943
1939 1944 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.complete): Added new
1940 1945 top-level completion method to expose the completion mechanism
1941 1946 beyond readline-based environments.
1942 1947
1943 1948 2005-08-19 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1944 1949
1945 1950 * tools/ipsvnc (svnversion): fix svnversion capture.
1946 1951
1947 1952 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Add has_readline
1948 1953 attribute to self, which was missing. Before, it was set by a
1949 1954 routine which in certain cases wasn't being called, so the
1950 1955 instance could end up missing the attribute. This caused a crash.
1951 1956 Closes http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue40.
1952 1957
1953 1958 2005-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1954 1959
1955 1960 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): don't crash if object
1956 1961 contains non-string attribute. Closes
1957 1962 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue38.
1958 1963
1959 1964 2005-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1960 1965
1961 1966 * tools/ipsvnc: Minor improvements, to add changeset info.
1962 1967
1963 1968 2005-08-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1964 1969
1965 1970 * IPython/iplib.py (runsource): remove self.code_to_run_src
1966 1971 attribute. I realized this is nothing more than
1967 1972 '\n'.join(self.buffer), and having the same data in two different
1968 1973 places is just asking for synchronization bugs. This may impact
1969 1974 people who have custom exception handlers, so I need to warn
1970 1975 ipython-dev about it (F. Mantegazza may use them).
1971 1976
1972 1977 2005-07-29 Fernando Perez <Fernando.Perez@colorado.edu>
1973 1978
1974 1979 * IPython/genutils.py: fix 2.2 compatibility (generators)
1975 1980
1976 1981 2005-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1977 1982
1978 1983 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): fix to help users with
1979 1984 invalid $HOME under win32.
1980 1985
1981 1986 2005-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
1982 1987
1983 1988 * IPython/Prompts.py (str_safe): Make unicode-safe. Also remove
1984 1989 some old hacks and clean up a bit other routines; code should be
1985 1990 simpler and a bit faster.
1986 1991
1987 1992 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): removed some last-resort attempts
1988 1993 to survive broken stdout/stderr. That code was only making it
1989 1994 harder to abstract out the i/o (necessary for gui integration),
1990 1995 and the crashes it could prevent were extremely rare in practice
1991 1996 (besides being fully user-induced in a pretty violent manner).
1992 1997
1993 1998 * IPython/genutils.py (IOStream.__init__): Simplify the i/o stuff.
1994 1999 Nothing major yet, but the code is simpler to read; this should
1995 2000 make it easier to do more serious modifications in the future.
1996 2001
1997 2002 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix auto-quoting in pysh,
1998 2003 which broke in .15 (thanks to a report by Ville).
1999 2004
2000 2005 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__init__): add unicode support (it may not
2001 2006 be quite correct, I know next to nothing about unicode). This
2002 2007 will allow unicode strings to be used in prompts, amongst other
2003 2008 cases. It also will prevent ipython from crashing when unicode
2004 2009 shows up unexpectedly in many places. If ascii encoding fails, we
2005 2010 assume utf_8. Currently the encoding is not a user-visible
2006 2011 setting, though it could be made so if there is demand for it.
2007 2012
2008 2013 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): remove old 2.1-specific hack.
2009 2014
2010 2015 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.merge): switch keys() to iterator.
2011 2016
2012 2017 * IPython/background_jobs.py: moved 2.2 compatibility to genutils.
2013 2018
2014 2019 * IPython/genutils.py: Add 2.2 compatibility here, so all other
2015 2020 code can work transparently for 2.2/2.3.
2016 2021
2017 2022 2005-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2018 2023
2019 2024 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ExceptionColors): Make a global variable
2020 2025 out of the color scheme table used for coloring exception
2021 2026 tracebacks. This allows user code to add new schemes at runtime.
2022 2027 This is a minimally modified version of the patch at
2023 2028 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue35, many thanks to pabw
2024 2029 for the contribution.
2025 2030
2026 2031 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Add a
2027 2032 slightly modified version of the patch in
2028 2033 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue34, which also allows me
2029 2034 to remove the previous try/except solution (which was costlier).
2030 2035 Thanks to Gaetan Lehmann <gaetan.lehmann-AT-jouy.inra.fr> for the fix.
2031 2036
2032 2037 2005-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2033 2038
2034 2039 * IPython/iplib.py (write/write_err): Add methods to abstract all
2035 2040 I/O a bit more.
2036 2041
2037 2042 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): Fix GTK deprecation
2038 2043 warning, reported by Aric Hagberg, fix by JD Hunter.
2039 2044
2040 2045 2005-06-02 *** Released version 0.6.15
2041 2046
2042 2047 2005-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2043 2048
2044 2049 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.file_matches): Fix
2045 2050 tab-completion of filenames within open-quoted strings. Note that
2046 2051 this requires that in ~/.ipython/ipythonrc, users change the
2047 2052 readline delimiters configuration to read:
2048 2053
2049 2054 readline_remove_delims -/~
2050 2055
2051 2056
2052 2057 2005-05-31 *** Released version 0.6.14
2053 2058
2054 2059 2005-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2055 2060
2056 2061 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix crash for tracebacks
2057 2062 with files not on the filesystem. Reported by Eliyahu Sandler
2058 2063 <eli@gondolin.net>
2059 2064
2060 2065 2005-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2061 2066
2062 2067 * IPython/iplib.py: Fix a few crashes in the --upgrade option.
2063 2068 After an initial report by LUK ShunTim <shuntim.luk@polyu.edu.hk>.
2064 2069
2065 2070 2005-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2066 2071
2067 2072 * IPython/iplib.py (safe_execfile): close a file which could be
2068 2073 left open (causing problems in win32, which locks open files).
2069 2074 Thanks to a bug report by D Brown <dbrown2@yahoo.com>.
2070 2075
2071 2076 2005-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2072 2077
2073 2078 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): pass all
2074 2079 keyword arguments correctly to safe_execfile().
2075 2080
2076 2081 2005-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2077 2082
2078 2083 * ipython.1: Added info about Qt to manpage, and threads warning
2079 2084 to usage page (invoked with --help).
2080 2085
2081 2086 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_func_kw_matches): Added
2082 2087 new matcher (it goes at the end of the priority list) to do
2083 2088 tab-completion on named function arguments. Submitted by George
2084 2089 Sakkis <gsakkis-AT-eden.rutgers.edu>. See the thread at
2085 2090 http://www.scipy.net/pipermail/ipython-dev/2005-April/000436.html
2086 2091 for more details.
2087 2092
2088 2093 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -e flag to ignore
2089 2094 SystemExit exceptions in the script being run. Thanks to a report
2090 2095 by danny shevitz <danny_shevitz-AT-yahoo.com>, about this
2091 2096 producing very annoying behavior when running unit tests.
2092 2097
2093 2098 2005-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2094 2099
2095 2100 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): fixed auto-quoting and parens,
2096 2101 which I'd broken (again) due to a changed regexp. In the process,
2097 2102 added ';' as an escape to auto-quote the whole line without
2098 2103 splitting its arguments. Thanks to a report by Jerry McRae
2099 2104 <qrs0xyc02-AT-sneakemail.com>.
2100 2105
2101 2106 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): protect against rare but
2102 2107 possible crashes caused by a TokenError. Reported by Ed Schofield
2103 2108 <schofield-AT-ftw.at>.
2104 2109
2105 2110 2005-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2106 2111
2107 2112 * IPython/Shell.py (hijack_wx): Fix to work with WX v.2.6.
2108 2113
2109 2114 2005-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2110 2115
2111 2116 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellQt): Thanks to Denis Rivière
2112 2117 <nudz-AT-free.fr>, Yann Cointepas <yann-AT-sapetnioc.org> and Benjamin
2113 2118 Thyreau <Benji2-AT-decideur.info>, we now have a -qthread option
2114 2119 which provides support for Qt interactive usage (similar to the
2115 2120 existing one for WX and GTK). This had been often requested.
2116 2121
2117 2122 2005-04-14 *** Released version 0.6.13
2118 2123
2119 2124 2005-04-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2120 2125
2121 2126 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): remove docstring evaluation
2122 2127 from _ofind, which gets called on almost every input line. Now,
2123 2128 we only try to get docstrings if they are actually going to be
2124 2129 used (the overhead of fetching unnecessary docstrings can be
2125 2130 noticeable for certain objects, such as Pyro proxies).
2126 2131
2127 2132 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): Change the API
2128 2133 for completers. For some reason I had been passing them the state
2129 2134 variable, which completers never actually need, and was in
2130 2135 conflict with the rlcompleter API. Custom completers ONLY need to
2131 2136 take the text parameter.
2132 2137
2133 2138 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py: Fix regexp so that magics
2134 2139 work correctly in pysh. I've also moved all the logic which used
2135 2140 to be in pysh.py here, which will prevent problems with future
2136 2141 upgrades. However, this time I must warn users to update their
2137 2142 pysh profile to include the line
2138 2143
2139 2144 import_all IPython.Extensions.InterpreterExec
2140 2145
2141 2146 because otherwise things won't work for them. They MUST also
2142 2147 delete pysh.py and the line
2143 2148
2144 2149 execfile pysh.py
2145 2150
2146 2151 from their ipythonrc-pysh.
2147 2152
2148 2153 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): Make more
2149 2154 robust in the face of objects whose dir() returns non-strings
2150 2155 (which it shouldn't, but some broken libs like ITK do). Thanks to
2151 2156 a patch by John Hunter (implemented differently, though). Also
2152 2157 minor improvements by using .extend instead of + on lists.
2153 2158
2154 2159 * pysh.py:
2155 2160
2156 2161 2005-04-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2157 2162
2158 2163 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Make multi_line_specials on
2159 2164 by default, so that all users benefit from it. Those who don't
2160 2165 want it can still turn it off.
2161 2166
2162 2167 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add multi_line_specials to the
2163 2168 config file, I'd forgotten about this, so users were getting it
2164 2169 off by default.
2165 2170
2166 2171 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): big overhaul of the magic system for
2167 2172 consistency. Now magics can be called in multiline statements,
2168 2173 and python variables can be expanded in magic calls via $var.
2169 2174 This makes the magic system behave just like aliases or !system
2170 2175 calls.
2171 2176
2172 2177 2005-03-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2173 2178
2174 2179 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): cleanup to use %s instead of
2175 2180 expensive string additions for building command. Add support for
2176 2181 trailing ';' when autocall is used.
2177 2182
2178 2183 2005-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2179 2184
2180 2185 * ipython.el: Fix http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue31.
2181 2186 Bugfix by A. Schmolck, the ipython.el maintainer. Also make
2182 2187 ipython.el robust against prompts with any number of spaces
2183 2188 (including 0) after the ':' character.
2184 2189
2185 2190 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): Fix spurious space in
2186 2191 continuation prompt, which misled users to think the line was
2187 2192 already indented. Closes debian Bug#300847, reported to me by
2188 2193 Norbert Tretkowski <tretkowski-AT-inittab.de>.
2189 2194
2190 2195 2005-03-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2191 2196
2192 2197 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.__str__): Make sure that prompts are
2193 2198 properly aligned if they have embedded newlines.
2194 2199
2195 2200 * IPython/iplib.py (runlines): Add a public method to expose
2196 2201 IPython's code execution machinery, so that users can run strings
2197 2202 as if they had been typed at the prompt interactively.
2198 2203 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added getoutput() to the __IPYTHON__
2199 2204 methods which can call the system shell, but with python variable
2200 2205 expansion. The three such methods are: __IPYTHON__.system,
2201 2206 .getoutput and .getoutputerror. These need to be documented in a
2202 2207 'public API' section (to be written) of the manual.

2204 2209 2005-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2205 2210
2206 2211 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.set_custom_exc): new system
2207 2212 for custom exception handling. This is quite powerful, and it
2208 2213 allows for user-installable exception handlers which can trap
2209 2214 custom exceptions at runtime and treat them separately from
2210 2215 IPython's default mechanisms. At the request of FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2211 2216 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2212 2217 (InteractiveShell.set_custom_completer): public API function to
2213 2218 add new completers at runtime.
2214 2219
2215 2220 2005-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2216 2221
2217 2222 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): Add a call to obj.getdoc(), to
2218 2223 allow objects which provide their docstrings via non-standard
2219 2224 mechanisms (like Pyro proxies) to still be inspected by ipython's
2220 2225 ? system.
2221 2226
2222 2227 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): back off the _o/_e
2223 2228 automatic capture system. I tried quite hard to make it work
2224 2229 reliably, and simply failed. I tried many combinations with the
2225 2230 subprocess module, but eventually nothing worked in all needed
2226 2231 cases (not blocking stdin for the child, duplicating stdout
2227 2232 without blocking, etc). The new %sc/%sx still do capture to these
2228 2233 magical list/string objects which make shell use much more
2229 2234 conveninent, so not all is lost.
2230 2235
2231 2236 XXX - FIX MANUAL for the change above!
2232 2237
2233 2238 (runsource): I copied code.py's runsource() into ipython to modify
2234 2239 it a bit. Now the code object and source to be executed are
2235 2240 stored in ipython. This makes this info accessible to third-party
2236 2241 tools, like custom exception handlers. After a request by FrΓ©dΓ©ric
2237 2242 Mantegazza <mantegazza-AT-ill.fr>.
2238 2243
2239 2244 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Add up/down arrow keys to
2240 2245 history-search via readline (like C-p/C-n). I'd wanted this for a
2241 2246 long time, but only recently found out how to do it. For users
2242 2247 who already have their ipythonrc files made and want this, just
2243 2248 add:
2244 2249
2245 2250 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[A": history-search-backward
2246 2251 readline_parse_and_bind "\e[B": history-search-forward

2248 2253 2005-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2249 2254
2250 2255 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_sc): %sc and %sx now use the fancy
2251 2256 LSString and SList classes which allow transparent conversions
2252 2257 between list mode and whitespace-separated string.
2253 2258 (magic_r): Fix recursion problem in %r.
2254 2259
2255 2260 * IPython/genutils.py (LSString): New class to be used for
2256 2261 automatic storage of the results of all alias/system calls in _o
2257 2262 and _e (stdout/err). These provide a .l/.list attribute which
2258 2263 does automatic splitting on newlines. This means that for most
2259 2264 uses, you'll never need to do capturing of output with %sc/%sx
2260 2265 anymore, since ipython keeps this always done for you. Note that
2261 2266 only the LAST results are stored, the _o/e variables are
2262 2267 overwritten on each call. If you need to save their contents
2263 2268 further, simply bind them to any other name.
2264 2269
2265 2270 2005-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2266 2271
2267 2272 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.cwd_filt): a few more fixes for
2268 2273 prompt namespace handling.
2269 2274
2270 2275 2005-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2271 2276
2272 2277 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Fix default and
2273 2278 classic prompts to be '>>> ' (final space was missing, and it
2274 2279 trips the emacs python mode).
2275 2280 (BasePrompt.__str__): Added safe support for dynamic prompt
2276 2281 strings. Now you can set your prompt string to be '$x', and the
2277 2282 value of x will be printed from your interactive namespace. The
2278 2283 interpolation syntax includes the full Itpl support, so
2279 2284 ${foo()+x+bar()} is a valid prompt string now, and the function
2280 2285 calls will be made at runtime.
2281 2286
2282 2287 2005-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2283 2288
2284 2289 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_history): renamed %hist to %history, to
2285 2290 avoid name clashes in pylab. %hist still works, it just forwards
2286 2291 the call to %history.

2291 2296
2292 2297 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_magic): log magic calls properly as
2293 2298 ipmagic() function calls.
2294 2299
2295 2300 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): Improved %time to support
2296 2301 statements and provide wall-clock as well as CPU time.
2297 2302
2298 2303 2005-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2299 2304
2300 2305 * IPython/hooks.py: New hooks module, to expose user-modifiable
2301 2306 IPython functionality in a clean manner. For now only the editor
2302 2307 hook is actually written, and other thigns which I intend to turn
2303 2308 into proper hooks aren't yet there. The display and prefilter
2304 2309 stuff, for example, should be hooks. But at least now the
2305 2310 framework is in place, and the rest can be moved here with more
2306 2311 time later. IPython had had a .hooks variable for a long time for
2307 2312 this purpose, but I'd never actually used it for anything.
2308 2313
2309 2314 2005-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2310 2315
2311 2316 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): make the default ipython
2312 2317 directory be called _ipython under win32, to follow more the
2313 2318 naming peculiarities of that platform (where buggy software like
2314 2319 Visual Sourcesafe breaks with .named directories). Reported by
2315 2320 Ville Vainio.

2317 2322 2005-02-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2318 2323
2319 2324 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): removed a few
2320 2325 auto_aliases for win32 which were causing problems. Users can
2321 2326 define the ones they personally like.
2322 2327
2323 2328 2005-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2324 2329
2325 2330 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_time): new magic to time execution of
2326 2331 expressions. After a request by Charles Moad <cmoad-AT-indiana.edu>.
2327 2332
2328 2333 2005-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2329 2334
2330 2335 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Allow empty strings
2331 2336 into keys (for prompts, for example).
2332 2337
2333 2338 * IPython/Prompts.py (BasePrompt.set_p_str): Fix to allow empty
2334 2339 prompts in case users want them. This introduces a small behavior
2335 2340 change: ipython does not automatically add a space to all prompts
2336 2341 anymore. To get the old prompts with a space, users should add it
2337 2342 manually to their ipythonrc file, so for example prompt_in1 should
2338 2343 now read 'In [\#]: ' instead of 'In [\#]:'.
2339 2344 (BasePrompt.__init__): New option prompts_pad_left (only in rc
2340 2345 file) to control left-padding of secondary prompts.
2341 2346
2342 2347 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.profile_missing_notice): Don't crash if
2343 2348 the profiler can't be imported. Fix for Debian, which removed
2344 2349 profile.py because of License issues. I applied a slightly
2345 2350 modified version of the original Debian patch at
2346 2351 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=294500.

2349 2354
2350 2355 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): Fix bug which would
2351 2356 cause improper line-ends under win32 b/c I was not opening files
2352 2357 in binary mode. Bug report and fix thanks to Ville.
2353 2358
2354 2359 * IPython/iplib.py (handle_auto): Fix bug which I introduced when
2355 2360 trying to catch spurious foo[1] autocalls. My fix actually broke
2356 2361 ',/' autoquote/call with explicit escape (bad regexp).
2357 2362

2359 2364
2360 2365 2005-02-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2361 2366
2362 2367 * IPython/background_jobs.py: New background job management
2363 2368 subsystem. This is implemented via a new set of classes, and
2364 2369 IPython now provides a builtin 'jobs' object for background job
2365 2370 execution. A convenience %bg magic serves as a lightweight
2366 2371 frontend for starting the more common type of calls. This was
2367 2372 inspired by discussions with B. Granger and the BackgroundCommand
2368 2373 class described in the book Python Scripting for Computational
2369 2374 Science, by H. P. Langtangen: http://folk.uio.no/hpl/scripting
2370 2375 (although ultimately no code from this text was used, as IPython's
2371 2376 system is a separate implementation).
2372 2377
2373 2378 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.python_matches): add new option
2374 2379 to control the completion of single/double underscore names
2375 2380 separately. As documented in the example ipytonrc file, the
2376 2381 readline_omit__names variable can now be set to 2, to omit even
2377 2382 single underscore names. Thanks to a patch by Brian Wong
2378 2383 <BrianWong-AT-AirgoNetworks.Com>.
2379 2384 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix bug which would cause foo[1] to
2380 2385 be autocalled as foo([1]) if foo were callable. A problem for
2381 2386 things which are both callable and implement __getitem__.
2382 2387 (init_readline): Fix autoindentation for win32. Thanks to a patch
2383 2388 by Vivian De Smedt <vivian-AT-vdesmedt.com>.

2385 2390 2005-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2386 2391
2387 2392 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Disabled the stout traps
2388 2393 which I had written long ago to sort out user error messages which
2389 2394 may occur during startup. This seemed like a good idea initially,
2390 2395 but it has proven a disaster in retrospect. I don't want to
2391 2396 change much code for now, so my fix is to set the internal 'debug'
2392 2397 flag to true everywhere, whose only job was precisely to control
2393 2398 this subsystem. This closes issue 28 (as well as avoiding all
2394 2399 sorts of strange hangups which occur from time to time).

2397 2402
2398 2403 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_edit): Fix 'ed -p' not working when the
2399 2404 previous call produced a syntax error.
2400 2405
2401 2406 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when inspecting
2402 2407 classes without constructor.

2404 2409 2005-02-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2405 2410
2406 2411 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Extend the list of
2407 2412 completions with the results of each matcher, so we return results
2408 2413 to the user from all namespaces. This breaks with ipython
2409 2414 tradition, but I think it's a nicer behavior. Now you get all
2410 2415 possible completions listed, from all possible namespaces (python,
2411 2416 filesystem, magics...) After a request by John Hunter
2412 2417 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.

2415 2420
2416 2421 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where prun would fail if
2417 2422 the call had quote characters in it (the quotes were stripped).
2418 2423
2419 2424 2005-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2420 2425
2421 2426 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): reduce reliance on
2422 2427 Itpl.itpl() to make the code more robust against psyco
2423 2428 optimizations.
2424 2429
2425 2430 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): Use a _getframe() call instead
2426 2431 of causing an exception. Quicker, cleaner.
2427 2432
2428 2433 2005-01-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2429 2434
2430 2435 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): hardcode
2431 2436 sys.prefix+'python.exe' as the executable path. It turns out that
2432 2437 during the post-installation run, sys.executable resolves to the
2433 2438 name of the binary installer! I should report this as a distutils
2434 2439 bug, I think. I updated the .10 release with this tiny fix, to
2435 2440 avoid annoying the lists further.

2440 2445
2441 2446 * IPython/numutils.py (norm): Added 'inf' as optional name for
2442 2447 L-infinity norm, included references to mathworld.com for vector
2443 2448 norm definitions.
2444 2449 (amin/amax): added amin/amax for array min/max. Similar to what
2445 2450 pylab ships with after the recent reorganization of names.
2446 2451 (spike/spike_odd): removed deprecated spike/spike_odd functions.
2447 2452
2448 2453 * ipython.el: committed Alex's recent fixes and improvements.
2449 2454 Tested with python-mode from CVS, and it looks excellent. Since
2450 2455 python-mode hasn't released anything in a while, I'm temporarily
2451 2456 putting a copy of today's CVS (v 4.70) of python-mode in:
2452 2457 http://ipython.scipy.org/tmp/python-mode.el
2453 2458
2454 2459 * scripts/ipython_win_post_install.py (install): Win32 fix to use
2455 2460 sys.executable for the executable name, instead of assuming it's
2456 2461 called 'python.exe' (the post-installer would have produced broken
2457 2462 setups on systems with a differently named python binary).
2458 2463
2459 2464 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): change explicit '\n'
2460 2465 references to os.linesep, to make the code more
2461 2466 platform-independent. This is also part of the win32 coloring
2462 2467 fixes.
2463 2468
2464 2469 * IPython/genutils.py (page_dumb): Remove attempts to chop long
2465 2470 lines, which actually cause coloring bugs because the length of
2466 2471 the line is very difficult to correctly compute with embedded
2467 2472 escapes. This was the source of all the coloring problems under
2468 2473 Win32. I think that _finally_, Win32 users have a properly
2469 2474 working ipython in all respects. This would never have happened
2470 2475 if not for Gary Bishop and Viktor Ransmayr's great help and work.

2475 2480
2476 2481 * setup.py: finally, we have a true Windows installer, thanks to
2477 2482 the excellent work of Viktor Ransmayr
2478 2483 <viktor.ransmayr-AT-t-online.de>. The docs have been updated for
2479 2484 Windows users. The setup routine is quite a bit cleaner thanks to
2480 2485 this, and the post-install script uses the proper functions to
2481 2486 allow a clean de-installation using the standard Windows Control
2482 2487 Panel.
2483 2488
2484 2489 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): changed to use the $HOME
2485 2490 environment variable under all OSes (including win32) if
2486 2491 available. This will give consistency to win32 users who have set
2487 2492 this variable for any reason. If os.environ['HOME'] fails, the
2488 2493 previous policy of using HOMEDRIVE\HOMEPATH kicks in.
2489 2494
2490 2495 2005-01-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2491 2496
2492 2497 * IPython/numutils.py (empty_like): add empty_like(), similar to
2493 2498 zeros_like() but taking advantage of the new empty() Numeric routine.

2498 2503
2499 2504 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): I removed the
2500 2505 automatic show() calls. After discussing things with JDH, it
2501 2506 turns out there are too many corner cases where this can go wrong.
2502 2507 It's best not to try to be 'too smart', and simply have ipython
2503 2508 reproduce as much as possible the default behavior of a normal
2504 2509 python shell.
2505 2510
2506 2511 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Modified the
2507 2512 line-splitting regexp and _prefilter() to avoid calling getattr()
2508 2513 on assignments. This closes
2509 2514 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue24. Note that Python's
2510 2515 readline uses getattr(), so a simple <TAB> keypress is still
2511 2516 enough to trigger getattr() calls on an object.

2540 2545 calls in functions. I need it to clean up matplotlib support.
2541 2546 Also removed some deprecated code in genutils.
2542 2547
2543 2548 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec): small fix so
2544 2549 that matplotlib scripts called with %run, which don't call show()
2545 2550 themselves, still have their plotting windows open.
2546 2551
2547 2552 2005-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2548 2553
2549 2554 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.__init__): Patch by Andrew Straw
2550 2555 <astraw-AT-caltech.edu>, to fix gtk deprecation warnings.
2551 2556
2552 2557 2004-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2553 2558
2554 2559 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runcode): Get rid of
2555 2560 parent_runcode, which was an eyesore. The same result can be
2556 2561 obtained with Python's regular superclass mechanisms.
2557 2562
2558 2563 2004-12-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2559 2564
2560 2565 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Fix quote stripping problem
2561 2566 reported by Prabhu.
2562 2567 (Magic.magic_sx): direct all errors to Term.cerr (defaults to
2563 2568 sys.stderr) instead of explicitly calling sys.stderr. This helps
2564 2569 maintain our I/O abstractions clean, for future GUI embeddings.
2565 2570
2566 2571 * IPython/genutils.py (info): added new utility for sys.stderr
2567 2572 unified info message handling (thin wrapper around warn()).
2568 2573
2569 2574 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix misreported global
2570 2575 composite (dotted) names on verbose exceptions.
2571 2576 (VerboseTB.nullrepr): harden against another kind of errors which
2572 2577 Python's inspect module can trigger, and which were crashing
2573 2578 IPython. Thanks to a report by Marco Lombardi
2574 2579 <mlombard-AT-ma010192.hq.eso.org>.
2575 2580
2576 2581 2004-12-13 *** Released version 0.6.6
2577 2582
2578 2583 2004-12-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2579 2584
2580 2585 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): catch RuntimeErrors
2581 2586 generated by pygtk upon initialization if it was built without
2582 2587 threads (for matplotlib users). After a crash reported by
2583 2588 Leguijt, Jaap J SIEP-EPT-RES <Jaap.Leguijt-AT-shell.com>.
2584 2589
2585 2590 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fix small bug in the
2586 2591 import_some parameter for multiple imports.
2587 2592
2588 2593 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): simplified the interface of
2589 2594 ipmagic() to take a single string argument, just as it would be
2590 2595 typed at the IPython cmd line.
2591 2596 (ipalias): Added new ipalias() with an interface identical to
2592 2597 ipmagic(). This completes exposing a pure python interface to the
2593 2598 alias and magic system, which can be used in loops or more complex
2594 2599 code where IPython's automatic line mangling is not active.
2595 2600
2596 2601 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): changed interface of timing to
2597 2602 simply run code once, which is the most common case. timings()
2598 2603 remains unchanged, for the cases where you want multiple runs.
2599 2604
2600 2605 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase._matplotlib_config): Fix a
2601 2606 bug where Python2.2 crashes with exec'ing code which does not end
2602 2607 in a single newline. Python 2.3 is OK, so I hadn't noticed this
2603 2608 before.
2604 2609
2605 2610 2004-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2606 2611
2607 2612 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed name of option from
2608 2613 -t to -T, to accomodate the new -t flag in %run (the %run and
2609 2614 %prun options are kind of intermixed, and it's not easy to change
2610 2615 this with the limitations of python's getopt).
2611 2616
2612 2617 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added new -t option to time
2613 2618 the execution of scripts. It's not as fine-tuned as timeit.py,
2614 2619 but it works from inside ipython (and under 2.2, which lacks
2615 2620 timeit.py). Optionally a number of runs > 1 can be given for
2616 2621 timing very short-running code.
2617 2622
2618 2623 * IPython/genutils.py (uniq_stable): new routine which returns a
2619 2624 list of unique elements in any iterable, but in stable order of
2620 2625 appearance. I needed this for the ultraTB fixes, and it's a handy
2621 2626 utility.
2622 2627
2623 2628 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Fix proper reporting of
2624 2629 dotted names in Verbose exceptions. This had been broken since
2625 2630 the very start, now x.y will properly be printed in a Verbose
2626 2631 traceback, instead of x being shown and y appearing always as an
2627 2632 'undefined global'. Getting this to work was a bit tricky,
2628 2633 because by default python tokenizers are stateless. Saved by
2629 2634 python's ability to easily add a bit of state to an arbitrary
2630 2635 function (without needing to build a full-blown callable object).
2631 2636
2632 2637 Also big cleanup of this code, which had horrendous runtime
2633 2638 lookups of zillions of attributes for colorization. Moved all
2634 2639 this code into a few templates, which make it cleaner and quicker.
2635 2640
2636 2641 Printout quality was also improved for Verbose exceptions: one
2637 2642 variable per line, and memory addresses are printed (this can be
2638 2643 quite handy in nasty debugging situations, which is what Verbose
2639 2644 is for).
2640 2645
2641 2646 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Do NOT execute files named in
2642 2647 the command line as scripts to be loaded by embedded instances.
2643 2648 Doing so has the potential for an infinite recursion if there are
2644 2649 exceptions thrown in the process. This fixes a strange crash
2645 2650 reported by Philippe MULLER <muller-AT-irit.fr>.
2646 2651
2647 2652 2004-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2648 2653
2649 2654 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Change pylab support
2650 2655 to reflect new names in matplotlib, which now expose the
2651 2656 matlab-compatible interface via a pylab module instead of the
2652 2657 'matlab' name. The new code is backwards compatible, so users of
2653 2658 all matplotlib versions are OK. Patch by J. Hunter.
2654 2659
2655 2660 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Add to object? printing
2656 2661 of __init__ docstrings for instances (class docstrings are already
2657 2662 automatically printed). Instances with customized docstrings
2658 2663 (indep. of the class) are also recognized and all 3 separate
2659 2664 docstrings are printed (instance, class, constructor). After some
2660 2665 comments/suggestions by J. Hunter.
2661 2666
2662 2667 2004-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2663 2668
2664 2669 * IPython/iplib.py (MagicCompleter.complete): Remove annoying
2665 2670 warnings when tab-completion fails and triggers an exception.
2666 2671
2667 2672 2004-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2668 2673
2669 2674 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_prun): Fix bug where an exception would
2670 2675 be triggered when using 'run -p'. An incorrect option flag was
2671 2676 being set ('d' instead of 'D').
2672 2677 (manpage): fix missing escaped \- sign.
2673 2678
2674 2679 2004-11-30 *** Released version 0.6.5
2675 2680
2676 2681 2004-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2677 2682
2678 2683 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Fix bug in breakpoint
2679 2684 setting with -d option.
2680 2685
2681 2686 * setup.py (docfiles): Fix problem where the doc glob I was using
2682 2687 was COMPLETELY BROKEN. It was giving the right files by pure
2683 2688 accident, but failed once I tried to include ipython.el. Note:
2684 2689 glob() does NOT allow you to do exclusion on multiple endings!
2685 2690
2686 2691 2004-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2687 2692
2688 2693 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): cleaned up usage docstring, by using
2689 2694 the manpage as the source. Better formatting & consistency.
2690 2695
2691 2696 * IPython/Magic.py (magic_run): Added new -d option, to run
2692 2697 scripts under the control of the python pdb debugger. Note that
2693 2698 this required changing the %prun option -d to -D, to avoid a clash
2694 2699 (since %run must pass options to %prun, and getopt is too dumb to
2695 2700 handle options with string values with embedded spaces). Thanks
2696 2701 to a suggestion by Matthew Arnison <maffew-AT-cat.org.au>.
2697 2702 (magic_who_ls): added type matching to %who and %whos, so that one
2698 2703 can filter their output to only include variables of certain
2699 2704 types. Another suggestion by Matthew.
2700 2705 (magic_whos): Added memory summaries in kb and Mb for arrays.
2701 2706 (magic_who): Improve formatting (break lines every 9 vars).
2702 2707
2703 2708 2004-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2704 2709
2705 2710 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fix bug in syncing the input
2706 2711 cache when empty lines were present.
2707 2712
2708 2713 2004-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2709 2714
2710 2715 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): document the re-activated threading
2711 2716 options for WX and GTK.
2712 2717
2713 2718 2004-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2714 2719
2715 2720 * IPython/Shell.py (start): Added Prabhu's big patch to reactivate
2716 2721 the -wthread and -gthread options, along with a new -tk one to try
2717 2722 and coordinate Tk threading with wx/gtk. The tk support is very
2718 2723 platform dependent, since it seems to require Tcl and Tk to be
2719 2724 built with threads (Fedora1/2 appears NOT to have it, but in
2720 2725 Prabhu's Debian boxes it works OK). But even with some Tk
2721 2726 limitations, this is a great improvement.
2722 2727
2723 2728 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials_color): Added \t for time
2724 2729 info in user prompts. Patch by Prabhu.
2725 2730
2726 2731 2004-11-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2727 2732
2728 2733 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): Add check for a max of 20
2729 2734 EOFErrors and bail, to avoid infinite loops if a non-terminating
2730 2735 file is fed into ipython. Patch submitted in issue 19 by user,
2731 2736 many thanks.
2732 2737
2733 2738 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): do NOT trigger
2734 2739 autoquote/parens in continuation prompts, which can cause lots of
2735 2740 problems. Closes roundup issue 20.
2736 2741
2737 2742 2004-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2738 2743
2739 2744 * debian/control (Build-Depends-Indep): Fix dpatch dependency,
2740 2745 reported as debian bug #280505. I'm not sure my local changelog
2741 2746 entry has the proper debian format (Jack?).
2742 2747
2743 2748 2004-11-08 *** Released version 0.6.4
2744 2749
2745 2750 2004-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2746 2751
2747 2752 * IPython/iplib.py (init_readline): Fix exit message for Windows
2748 2753 when readline is active. Thanks to a report by Eric Jones
2749 2754 <eric-AT-enthought.com>.
2750 2755
2751 2756 2004-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2752 2757
2753 2758 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Add a trap for OSError exceptions,
2754 2759 sometimes seen by win2k/cygwin users.
2755 2760
2756 2761 2004-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2757 2762
2758 2763 * IPython/iplib.py (interact): Change the handling of %Exit from
2759 2764 trying to propagate a SystemExit to an internal ipython flag.
2760 2765 This is less elegant than using Python's exception mechanism, but
2761 2766 I can't get that to work reliably with threads, so under -pylab
2762 2767 %Exit was hanging IPython. Cross-thread exception handling is
2763 2768 really a bitch. Thaks to a bug report by Stephen Walton
2764 2769 <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
2765 2770
2766 2771 2004-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2767 2772
2768 2773 * IPython/iplib.py (raw_input_original): store a pointer to the
2769 2774 true raw_input to harden against code which can modify it
2770 2775 (wx.py.PyShell does this and would otherwise crash ipython).
2771 2776 Thanks to a bug report by Jim Flowers <james.flowers-AT-lgx.com>.
2772 2777
2773 2778 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.runsource): Cleaner fix for
2774 2779 Ctrl-C problem, which does not mess up the input line.
2775 2780
2776 2781 2004-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2777 2782
2778 2783 * IPython/Release.py: Changed licensing to BSD, in all files.
2779 2784 (name): lowercase name for tarball/RPM release.
2780 2785
2781 2786 * IPython/OInspect.py (getdoc): wrap inspect.getdoc() safely for
2782 2787 use throughout ipython.
2783 2788
2784 2789 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Switch to using the new
2785 2790 OInspect.getdoc() function.
2786 2791
2787 2792 * IPython/Shell.py (sigint_handler): Hack to ignore the execution
2788 2793 of the line currently being canceled via Ctrl-C. It's extremely
2789 2794 ugly, but I don't know how to do it better (the problem is one of
2790 2795 handling cross-thread exceptions).
2791 2796
2792 2797 2004-10-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2793 2798
2794 2799 * IPython/Shell.py (signal_handler): add signal handlers to trap
2795 2800 SIGINT and SIGSEGV in threaded code properly. Thanks to a bug
2796 2801 report by Francesc Alted.
2797 2802
2798 2803 2004-10-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2799 2804
2800 2805 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Fix @
2801 2806 to % for pysh syntax extensions.
2802 2807
2803 2808 2004-10-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2804 2809
2805 2810 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_whos): modify output of Numeric
2806 2811 arrays to print a more useful summary, without calling str(arr).
2807 2812 This avoids the problem of extremely lengthy computations which
2808 2813 occur if arr is large, and appear to the user as a system lockup
2809 2814 with 100% cpu activity. After a suggestion by Kristian Sandberg
2810 2815 <Kristian.Sandberg@colorado.edu>.
2811 2816 (Magic.__init__): fix bug in global magic escapes not being
2812 2817 correctly set.
2813 2818
2814 2819 2004-10-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2815 2820
2816 2821 * IPython/Magic.py (__license__): change to absolute imports of
2817 2822 ipython's own internal packages, to start adapting to the absolute
2818 2823 import requirement of PEP-328.
2819 2824
2820 2825 * IPython/genutils.py (__author__): Fix coding to utf-8 on all
2821 2826 files, and standardize author/license marks through the Release
2822 2827 module instead of having per/file stuff (except for files with
2823 2828 particular licenses, like the MIT/PSF-licensed codes).
2824 2829
2825 2830 * IPython/Debugger.py: remove dead code for python 2.1
2826 2831
2827 2832 2004-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2828 2833
2829 2834 * IPython/iplib.py (ipmagic): New function for accessing magics
2830 2835 via a normal python function call.
2831 2836
2832 2837 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Change the magic escape
2833 2838 from '@' to '%', to accomodate the new @decorator syntax of python
2834 2839 2.4.
2835 2840
2836 2841 2004-09-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2837 2842
2838 2843 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.use): Added a wrapper to
2839 2844 matplotlib.use to prevent running scripts which try to switch
2840 2845 interactive backends from within ipython. This will just crash
2841 2846 the python interpreter, so we can't allow it (but a detailed error
2842 2847 is given to the user).
2843 2848
2844 2849 2004-09-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2845 2850
2846 2851 * IPython/Shell.py (MatplotlibShellBase.mplot_exec):
2847 2852 matplotlib-related fixes so that using @run with non-matplotlib
2848 2853 scripts doesn't pop up spurious plot windows. This requires
2849 2854 matplotlib >= 0.63, where I had to make some changes as well.
2850 2855
2851 2856 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): update version requirement to
2852 2857 python 2.2.
2853 2858
2854 2859 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Add an optional
2855 2860 banner arg for embedded customization.
2856 2861
2857 2862 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.__init__): big cleanup to remove all
2858 2863 explicit uses of __IP as the IPython's instance name. Now things
2859 2864 are properly handled via the shell.name value. The actual code
2860 2865 is a bit ugly b/c I'm doing it via a global in Magic.py, but this
2861 2866 is much better than before. I'll clean things completely when the
2862 2867 magic stuff gets a real overhaul.
2863 2868
2864 2869 * ipython.1: small fixes, sent in by Jack Moffit. He also sent in
2865 2870 minor changes to debian dir.
2866 2871
2867 2872 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix adding a
2868 2873 pointer to the shell itself in the interactive namespace even when
2869 2874 a user-supplied dict is provided. This is needed for embedding
2870 2875 purposes (found by tests with Michel Sanner).
2871 2876
2872 2877 2004-09-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2873 2878
2874 2879 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: remove []{} from
2875 2880 readline_remove_delims, so that things like [modname.<TAB> do
2876 2881 proper completion. This disables [].TAB, but that's a less common
2877 2882 case than module names in list comprehensions, for example.
2878 2883 Thanks to a report by Andrea Riciputi.
2879 2884
2880 2885 2004-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2881 2886
2882 2887 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.mainloop): reorder to avoid
2883 2888 blocking problems in win32 and osx. Fix by John.
2884 2889
2885 2890 2004-09-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2886 2891
2887 2892 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.OnInit): Fix output redirection bug
2888 2893 for Win32 and OSX. Fix by John Hunter.
2889 2894
2890 2895 2004-08-30 *** Released version 0.6.3
2891 2896
2892 2897 2004-08-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2893 2898
2894 2899 * setup.py (isfile): Add manpages to list of dependent files to be
2895 2900 updated.
2896 2901
2897 2902 2004-08-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2898 2903
2899 2904 * IPython/Shell.py (start): I've disabled -wthread and -gthread
2900 2905 for now. They don't really work with standalone WX/GTK code
2901 2906 (though matplotlib IS working fine with both of those backends).
2902 2907 This will neeed much more testing. I disabled most things with
2903 2908 comments, so turning it back on later should be pretty easy.
2904 2909
2905 2910 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Fix accidental
2906 2911 autocalling of expressions like r'foo', by modifying the line
2907 2912 split regexp. Closes
2908 2913 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue18, reported by Nicholas
2909 2914 Riley <ipythonbugs-AT-sabi.net>.
2910 2915 (InteractiveShell.mainloop): honor --nobanner with banner
2911 2916 extensions.
2912 2917
2913 2918 * IPython/Shell.py: Significant refactoring of all classes, so
2914 2919 that we can really support ALL matplotlib backends and threading
2915 2920 models (John spotted a bug with Tk which required this). Now we
2916 2921 should support single-threaded, WX-threads and GTK-threads, both
2917 2922 for generic code and for matplotlib.
2918 2923
2919 2924 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Changed -mpthread option to
2920 2925 -pylab, to simplify things for users. Will also remove the pylab
2921 2926 profile, since now all of matplotlib configuration is directly
2922 2927 handled here. This also reduces startup time.
2923 2928
2924 2929 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellGTK.run): Fixed bug where mainloop() of
2925 2930 shell wasn't being correctly called. Also in IPShellWX.
2926 2931
2927 2932 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added option to
2928 2933 fine-tune banner.
2929 2934
2930 2935 * IPython/numutils.py (spike): Deprecate these spike functions,
2931 2936 delete (long deprecated) gnuplot_exec handler.
2932 2937
2933 2938 2004-08-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2934 2939
2935 2940 * ipython.1: Update for threading options, plus some others which
2936 2941 were missing.
2937 2942
2938 2943 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -wthread option for
2939 2944 wxpython thread handling. Make sure threading options are only
2940 2945 valid at the command line.
2941 2946
2942 2947 * scripts/ipython: moved shell selection into a factory function
2943 2948 in Shell.py, to keep the starter script to a minimum.
2944 2949
2945 2950 2004-08-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2946 2951
2947 2952 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.wxexit): fixes to WX threading, by
2948 2953 John. Along with some recent changes he made to matplotlib, the
2949 2954 next versions of both systems should work very well together.
2950 2955
2951 2956 2004-08-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2952 2957
2953 2958 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): cleanup some dead code. I
2954 2959 tried to switch the profiling to using hotshot, but I'm getting
2955 2960 strange errors from prof.runctx() there. I may be misreading the
2956 2961 docs, but it looks weird. For now the profiling code will
2957 2962 continue to use the standard profiler.
2958 2963
2959 2964 2004-08-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2960 2965
2961 2966 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellWX.__init__): Improvements to the WX
2962 2967 threaded shell, by John Hunter. It's not quite ready yet, but
2963 2968 close.
2964 2969
2965 2970 2004-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2966 2971
2967 2972 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): tab cleanups, also
2968 2973 in Magic and ultraTB.
2969 2974
2970 2975 * ipython.1: document threading options in manpage.
2971 2976
2972 2977 * scripts/ipython: Changed name of -thread option to -gthread,
2973 2978 since this is GTK specific. I want to leave the door open for a
2974 2979 -wthread option for WX, which will most likely be necessary. This
2975 2980 change affects usage and ipmaker as well.
2976 2981
2977 2982 * IPython/Shell.py (matplotlib_shell): Add a factory function to
2978 2983 handle the matplotlib shell issues. Code by John Hunter
2979 2984 <jdhunter-AT-nitace.bsd.uchicago.edu>.
2980 2985 (IPShellMatplotlibWX.__init__): Rudimentary WX support. It's
2981 2986 broken (and disabled for end users) for now, but it puts the
2982 2987 infrastructure in place.
2983 2988
2984 2989 2004-08-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2985 2990
2986 2991 * ipythonrc-pylab: Add matplotlib support.
2987 2992
2988 2993 * matplotlib_config.py: new files for matplotlib support, part of
2989 2994 the pylab profile.
2990 2995
2991 2996 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): documented the threading options.
2992 2997
2993 2998 2004-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
2994 2999
2995 3000 * ipython: Modified the main calling routine to handle the -thread
2996 3001 and -mpthread options. This needs to be done as a top-level hack,
2997 3002 because it determines which class to instantiate for IPython
2998 3003 itself.
2999 3004
3000 3005 * IPython/Shell.py (MTInteractiveShell.__init__): New set of
3001 3006 classes to support multithreaded GTK operation without blocking,
3002 3007 and matplotlib with all backends. This is a lot of still very
3003 3008 experimental code, and threads are tricky. So it may still have a
3004 3009 few rough edges... This code owes a lot to
3005 3010 http://aspn.activestate.com/ASPN/Cookbook/Python/Recipe/65109, by
3006 3011 Brian # McErlean and John Finlay, to Antoon Pardon for fixes, and
3007 3012 to John Hunter for all the matplotlib work.
3008 3013
3009 3014 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added -thread and -mpthread
3010 3015 options for gtk thread and matplotlib support.
3011 3016
3012 3017 2004-08-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3013 3018
3014 3019 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): don't trigger
3015 3020 autocall for things like p*q,p/q,p+q,p-q, when p is callable. Bug
3016 3021 reported by Stephen Walton <stephen.walton-AT-csun.edu>.
3017 3022
3018 3023 2004-08-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3019 3024
3020 3025 * setup.py (isfile): Fix build so documentation gets updated for
3021 3026 rpms (it was only done for .tgz builds).
3022 3027
3023 3028 2004-08-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3024 3029
3025 3030 * genutils.py (Term): Fix misspell of stdin stream (sin->cin).
3026 3031
3027 3032 * iplib.py : Silence syntax error exceptions in tab-completion.
3028 3033
3029 3034 2004-08-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3030 3035
3031 3036 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): Fix incorrectly set
3032 3037 'color off' mark for continuation prompts. This was causing long
3033 3038 continuation lines to mis-wrap.
3034 3039
3035 3040 2004-08-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3036 3041
3037 3042 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Allow the shell class used
3038 3043 for building ipython to be a parameter. All this is necessary
3039 3044 right now to have a multithreaded version, but this insane
3040 3045 non-design will be cleaned up soon. For now, it's a hack that
3041 3046 works.
3042 3047
3043 3048 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Stop using mutable default
3044 3049 args in various places. No bugs so far, but it's a dangerous
3045 3050 practice.
3046 3051
3047 3052 2004-07-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3048 3053
3049 3054 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): ignore SyntaxError exceptions to
3050 3055 fix completion of files with dots in their names under most
3051 3056 profiles (pysh was OK because the completion order is different).
3052 3057
3053 3058 2004-07-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3054 3059
3055 3060 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): build dict of
3056 3061 keywords manually, b/c the one in keyword.py was removed in python
3057 3062 2.4. Patch by Anakim Border <aborder-AT-users.sourceforge.net>.
3058 3063 This is NOT a bug under python 2.3 and earlier.
3059 3064
3060 3065 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3061 3066
3062 3067 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.text): Add another
3063 3068 linecache.checkcache() call to try to prevent inspect.py from
3064 3069 crashing under python 2.3. I think this fixes
3065 3070 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue17.
3066 3071
3067 3072 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.2
3068 3073
3069 3074 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3070 3075
3071 3076 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fix bug where 'cd -N' would
3072 3077 fail for any number.
3073 3078 (Magic.magic_bookmark): Fix bug where 'bookmark -l' would fail for
3074 3079 empty bookmarks.
3075 3080
3076 3081 2004-07-26 *** Released version 0.6.1
3077 3082
3078 3083 2004-07-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3079 3084
3080 3085 * ipython_win_post_install.py (run): Added pysh shortcut for Windows.
3081 3086
3082 3087 * IPython/iplib.py (protect_filename): Applied Ville's patch for
3083 3088 escaping '()[]{}' in filenames.
3084 3089
3085 3090 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): Fix handling of '*' and '?' for
3086 3091 Python 2.2 users who lack a proper shlex.split.
3087 3092
3088 3093 2004-07-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3089 3094
3090 3095 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Add support
3091 3096 for reading readline's init file. I follow the normal chain:
3092 3097 $INPUTRC is honored, otherwise ~/.inputrc is used. Thanks to a
3093 3098 report by Mike Heeter. This closes
3094 3099 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue16.
3095 3100
3096 3101 2004-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3097 3102
3098 3103 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): Add better handling of '\' under
3099 3104 Win32 for filenames. After a patch by Ville.
3100 3105
3101 3106 2004-07-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3102 3107
3103 3108 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3104 3109 autocalling would be triggered for 'foo is bar' if foo is
3105 3110 callable. I also cleaned up the autocall detection code to use a
3106 3111 regexp, which is faster. Bug reported by Alexander Schmolck.
3107 3112
3108 3113 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pinfo): Fix bug where strings with
3109 3114 '?' in them would confuse the help system. Reported by Alex
3110 3115 Schmolck.
3111 3116
3112 3117 2004-07-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3113 3118
3114 3119 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (__all__): added plot2.
3115 3120
3116 3121 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot2): added new function for
3117 3122 plotting dictionaries, lists or tuples of 1d arrays.
3118 3123
3119 3124 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small clenaups and
3120 3125 optimizations.
3121 3126
3122 3127 * IPython/iplib.py:Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is
3123 3128 the information which was there from Janko's original IPP code:
3124 3129
3125 3130 03.05.99 20:53 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3126 3131 --Started changelog.
3127 3132 --make clear do what it say it does
3128 3133 --added pretty output of lines from inputcache
3129 3134 --Made Logger a mixin class, simplifies handling of switches
3130 3135 --Added own completer class. .string<TAB> expands to last history
3131 3136 line which starts with string. The new expansion is also present
3132 3137 with Ctrl-r from the readline library. But this shows, who this
3133 3138 can be done for other cases.
3134 3139 --Added convention that all shell functions should accept a
3135 3140 parameter_string This opens the door for different behaviour for
3136 3141 each function. @cd is a good example of this.
3137 3142
3138 3143 04.05.99 12:12 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3139 3144 --added logfile rotation
3140 3145 --added new mainloop method which freezes first the namespace
3141 3146
3142 3147 07.05.99 21:24 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3143 3148 --added the docreader classes. Now there is a help system.
3144 3149 -This is only a first try. Currently it's not easy to put new
3145 3150 stuff in the indices. But this is the way to go. Info would be
3146 3151 better, but HTML is every where and not everybody has an info
3147 3152 system installed and it's not so easy to change html-docs to info.
3148 3153 --added global logfile option
3149 3154 --there is now a hook for object inspection method pinfo needs to
3150 3155 be provided for this. Can be reached by two '??'.
3151 3156
3152 3157 08.05.99 20:51 porto.ifm.uni-kiel.de
3153 3158 --added a README
3154 3159 --bug in rc file. Something has changed so functions in the rc
3155 3160 file need to reference the shell and not self. Not clear if it's a
3156 3161 bug or feature.
3157 3162 --changed rc file for new behavior
3158 3163
3159 3164 2004-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3160 3165
3161 3166 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fixed recent bug where the input
3162 3167 cache was falling out of sync in bizarre manners when multi-line
3163 3168 input was present. Minor optimizations and cleanup.
3164 3169
3165 3170 (Logger): Remove old Changelog info for cleanup. This is the
3166 3171 information which was there from Janko's original code:
3167 3172
3168 3173 Changes to Logger: - made the default log filename a parameter
3169 3174
3170 3175 - put a check for lines beginning with !@? in log(). Needed
3171 3176 (even if the handlers properly log their lines) for mid-session
3172 3177 logging activation to work properly. Without this, lines logged
3173 3178 in mid session, which get read from the cache, would end up
3174 3179 'bare' (with !@? in the open) in the log. Now they are caught
3175 3180 and prepended with a #.
3176 3181
3177 3182 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): added check
3178 3183 in case MagicCompleter fails to be defined, so we don't crash.
3179 3184
3180 3185 2004-07-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3181 3186
3182 3187 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): add automatic generation
3183 3188 of EPS if the requested filename ends in '.eps'.
3184 3189
3185 3190 2004-07-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3186 3191
3187 3192 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): Fix
3188 3193 escaping of quotes when calling the shell.
3189 3194
3190 3195 2004-07-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3191 3196
3192 3197 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.update): Fix problem with
3193 3198 gettext not working because we were clobbering '_'. Fixes
3194 3199 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue6.
3195 3200
3196 3201 2004-07-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3197 3202
3198 3203 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): integrated bookmark handling
3199 3204 into @cd. Patch by Ville.
3200 3205
3201 3206 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.post_config_initialization):
3202 3207 new function to store things after ipmaker runs. Patch by Ville.
3203 3208 Eventually this will go away once ipmaker is removed and the class
3204 3209 gets cleaned up, but for now it's ok. Key functionality here is
3205 3210 the addition of the persistent storage mechanism, a dict for
3206 3211 keeping data across sessions (for now just bookmarks, but more can
3207 3212 be implemented later).
3208 3213
3209 3214 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_bookmark): New bookmark system,
3210 3215 persistent across sections. Patch by Ville, I modified it
3211 3216 soemwhat to allow bookmarking arbitrary dirs other than CWD. Also
3212 3217 added a '-l' option to list all bookmarks.
3213 3218
3214 3219 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.atexit_operations): new
3215 3220 center for cleanup. Registered with atexit.register(). I moved
3216 3221 here the old exit_cleanup(). After a patch by Ville.
3217 3222
3218 3223 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): added '~' to the accepted
3219 3224 characters in the hacked shlex_split for python 2.2.
3220 3225
3221 3226 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): more fixes to filenames with
3222 3227 whitespace in them. It's not perfect, but limitations in python's
3223 3228 readline make it impossible to go further.
3224 3229
3225 3230 2004-06-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3226 3231
3227 3232 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): escape whitespace correctly in
3228 3233 filename completions. Bug reported by Ville.
3229 3234
3230 3235 2004-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3231 3236
3232 3237 * IPython/ipmaker.py (__call__): Added per-profile histories. Now
3233 3238 the history file will be called 'history-PROFNAME' (or just
3234 3239 'history' if no profile is loaded). I was getting annoyed at
3235 3240 getting my Numerical work history clobbered by pysh sessions.
3236 3241
3237 3242 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Internal
3238 3243 getoutputerror() function so that we can honor the system_verbose
3239 3244 flag for _all_ system calls. I also added escaping of #
3240 3245 characters here to avoid confusing Itpl.
3241 3246
3242 3247 * IPython/Magic.py (shlex_split): removed call to shell in
3243 3248 parse_options and replaced it with shlex.split(). The annoying
3244 3249 part was that in Python 2.2, shlex.split() doesn't exist, so I had
3245 3250 to backport it from 2.3, with several frail hacks (the shlex
3246 3251 module is rather limited in 2.2). Thanks to a suggestion by Ville
3247 3252 Vainio <vivainio@kolumbus.fi>. For Python 2.3 there should be no
3248 3253 problem.
3249 3254
3250 3255 (Magic.magic_system_verbose): new toggle to print the actual
3251 3256 system calls made by ipython. Mainly for debugging purposes.
3252 3257
3253 3258 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gnu_out): fix bug for cygwin, which
3254 3259 doesn't support persistence. Reported (and fix suggested) by
3255 3260 Travis Caldwell <travis_caldwell2000@yahoo.com>.
3256 3261
3257 3262 2004-06-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3258 3263
3259 3264 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): fix to handle correctly empty
3260 3265 continue prompts.
3261 3266
3262 3267 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (pysh): moved the pysh()
3263 3268 function (basically a big docstring) and a few more things here to
3264 3269 speedup startup. pysh.py is now very lightweight. We want because
3265 3270 it gets execfile'd, while InterpreterExec gets imported, so
3266 3271 byte-compilation saves time.
3267 3272
3268 3273 2004-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3269 3274
3270 3275 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_cd): Fixed to restore usage of 'cd
3271 3276 -NUM', which was recently broken.
3272 3277
3273 3278 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): allow !
3274 3279 in multi-line input (but not !!, which doesn't make sense there).
3275 3280
3276 3281 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: made autoindent on by default.
3277 3282 It's just too useful, and people can turn it off in the less
3278 3283 common cases where it's a problem.
3279 3284
3280 3285 2004-06-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3281 3286
3282 3287 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): big change -
3283 3288 special syntaxes (like alias calling) is now allied in multi-line
3284 3289 input. This is still _very_ experimental, but it's necessary for
3285 3290 efficient shell usage combining python looping syntax with system
3286 3291 calls. For now it's restricted to aliases, I don't think it
3287 3292 really even makes sense to have this for magics.
3288 3293
3289 3294 2004-06-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3290 3295
3291 3296 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell): Added
3292 3297 $var=cmd <=> @sc var=cmd and $$var=cmd <=> @sc -l var=cmd.
3293 3298
3294 3299 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehashx): modified to handle
3295 3300 extensions under Windows (after code sent by Gary Bishop). The
3296 3301 extensions considered 'executable' are stored in IPython's rc
3297 3302 structure as win_exec_ext.
3298 3303
3299 3304 * IPython/genutils.py (shell): new function, like system() but
3300 3305 without return value. Very useful for interactive shell work.
3301 3306
3302 3307 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_unalias): New @unalias function to
3303 3308 delete aliases.
3304 3309
3305 3310 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.alias_table_update): make
3306 3311 sure that the alias table doesn't contain python keywords.
3307 3312
3308 3313 2004-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3309 3314
3310 3315 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): Fix crash when
3311 3316 non-existent items are found in $PATH. Reported by Thorsten.
3312 3317
3313 3318 2004-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3314 3319
3315 3320 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): modified the completer so that the
3316 3321 order of priorities can be easily changed at runtime.
3317 3322
3318 3323 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterExec.py (prefilter_shell):
3319 3324 Modified to auto-execute all lines beginning with '~', '/' or '.'.
3320 3325
3321 3326 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified @sc and @sx to
3322 3327 expand Python variables prepended with $ in all system calls. The
3323 3328 same was done to InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape. Now all
3324 3329 system access mechanisms (!, !!, @sc, @sx and aliases) allow the
3325 3330 expansion of python variables and expressions according to the
3326 3331 syntax of PEP-215 - http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0215.html.
3327 3332
3328 3333 Though PEP-215 has been rejected, a similar (but simpler) one
3329 3334 seems like it will go into Python 2.4, PEP-292 -
3330 3335 http://www.python.org/peps/pep-0292.html.
3331 3336
3332 3337 I'll keep the full syntax of PEP-215, since IPython has since the
3333 3338 start used Ka-Ping Yee's reference implementation discussed there
3334 3339 (Itpl), and I actually like the powerful semantics it offers.
3335 3340
3336 3341 In order to access normal shell variables, the $ has to be escaped
3337 3342 via an extra $. For example:
3338 3343
3339 3344 In [7]: PATH='a python variable'
3340 3345
3341 3346 In [8]: !echo $PATH
3342 3347 a python variable
3343 3348
3344 3349 In [9]: !echo $$PATH
3345 3350 /usr/local/lf9560/bin:/usr/local/intel/compiler70/ia32/bin:...
3346 3351
3347 3352 (Magic.parse_options): escape $ so the shell doesn't evaluate
3348 3353 things prematurely.
3349 3354
3350 3355 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): added the
3351 3356 ability for aliases to expand python variables via $.
3352 3357
3353 3358 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_rehash): based on the new alias
3354 3359 system, now there's a @rehash/@rehashx pair of magics. These work
3355 3360 like the csh rehash command, and can be invoked at any time. They
3356 3361 build a table of aliases to everything in the user's $PATH
3357 3362 (@rehash uses everything, @rehashx is slower but only adds
3358 3363 executable files). With this, the pysh.py-based shell profile can
3359 3364 now simply call rehash upon startup, and full access to all
3360 3365 programs in the user's path is obtained.
3361 3366
3362 3367 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.call_alias): The new alias
3363 3368 functionality is now fully in place. I removed the old dynamic
3364 3369 code generation based approach, in favor of a much lighter one
3365 3370 based on a simple dict. The advantage is that this allows me to
3366 3371 now have thousands of aliases with negligible cost (unthinkable
3367 3372 with the old system).
3368 3373
3369 3374 2004-06-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3370 3375
3371 3376 * IPython/iplib.py (__init__): extended MagicCompleter class to
3372 3377 also complete (last in priority) on user aliases.
3373 3378
3374 3379 * IPython/Itpl.py (Itpl.__str__): fixed order of globals/locals in
3375 3380 call to eval.
3376 3381 (ItplNS.__init__): Added a new class which functions like Itpl,
3377 3382 but allows configuring the namespace for the evaluation to occur
3378 3383 in.
3379 3384
3380 3385 2004-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3381 3386
3382 3387 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): modify to print a
3383 3388 better message when 'exit' or 'quit' are typed (a common newbie
3384 3389 confusion).
3385 3390
3386 3391 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_colors): Added the runtime color
3387 3392 check for Windows users.
3388 3393
3389 3394 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): removed
3390 3395 disabling of colors for Windows. I'll test at runtime and issue a
3391 3396 warning if Gary's readline isn't found, as to nudge users to
3392 3397 download it.
3393 3398
3394 3399 2004-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3395 3400
3396 3401 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): changed to print errors
3397 3402 to sys.stderr. I had a circular dependency here. Now it's
3398 3403 possible to run ipython as IDLE's shell (consider this pre-alpha,
3399 3404 since true stdout things end up in the starting terminal instead
3400 3405 of IDLE's out).
3401 3406
3402 3407 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_colors): prevent crashes for
3403 3408 users who haven't # updated their prompt_in2 definitions. Remove
3404 3409 eventually.
3405 3410 (multiple_replace): added credit to original ASPN recipe.
3406 3411
3407 3412 2004-06-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3408 3413
3409 3414 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): add 'cp' to the
3410 3415 list of auto-defined aliases.
3411 3416
3412 3417 2004-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3413 3418
3414 3419 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Don't trigger win_post_install unless an
3415 3420 install was really requested (so setup.py can be used for other
3416 3421 things under Windows).
3417 3422
3418 3423 2004-06-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3419 3424
3420 3425 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Manually remove any old
3421 3426 backup, since os.remove may fail under Windows. Fixes bug
3422 3427 reported by Thorsten.
3423 3428
3424 3429 2004-06-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3425 3430
3426 3431 * examples/example-embed.py: fixed all references to %n (replaced
3427 3432 with \\# for ps1/out prompts and with \\D for ps2 prompts). Done
3428 3433 for all examples and the manual as well.
3429 3434
3430 3435 2004-06-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3431 3436
3432 3437 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2.set_p_str): fixed all prompt
3433 3438 alignment and color management. All 3 prompt subsystems now
3434 3439 inherit from BasePrompt.
3435 3440
3436 3441 * tools/release: updates for windows installer build and tag rpms
3437 3442 with python version (since paths are fixed).
3438 3443
3439 3444 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: modified to use \# instead of %n,
3440 3445 which will become eventually obsolete. Also fixed the default
3441 3446 prompt_in2 to use \D, so at least new users start with the correct
3442 3447 defaults.
3443 3448 WARNING: Users with existing ipythonrc files will need to apply
3444 3449 this fix manually!
3445 3450
3446 3451 * setup.py: make windows installer (.exe). This is finally the
3447 3452 integration of an old patch by Cory Dodt <dodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us>,
3448 3453 which I hadn't included because it required Python 2.3 (or recent
3449 3454 distutils).
3450 3455
3451 3456 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): update docs (and manpage) to reflect
3452 3457 usage of new '\D' escape.
3453 3458
3454 3459 * IPython/Prompts.py (ROOT_SYMBOL): Small fix for Windows (which
3455 3460 lacks os.getuid())
3456 3461 (CachedOutput.set_colors): Added the ability to turn coloring
3457 3462 on/off with @colors even for manually defined prompt colors. It
3458 3463 uses a nasty global, but it works safely and via the generic color
3459 3464 handling mechanism.
3460 3465 (Prompt2.__init__): Introduced new escape '\D' for continuation
3461 3466 prompts. It represents the counter ('\#') as dots.
3462 3467 *** NOTE *** THIS IS A BACKWARDS-INCOMPATIBLE CHANGE. Users will
3463 3468 need to update their ipythonrc files and replace '%n' with '\D' in
3464 3469 their prompt_in2 settings everywhere. Sorry, but there's
3465 3470 otherwise no clean way to get all prompts to properly align. The
3466 3471 ipythonrc shipped with IPython has been updated.
3467 3472
3468 3473 2004-06-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3469 3474
3470 3475 * setup.py (isfile): Pass local_icons option to latex2html, so the
3471 3476 resulting HTML file is self-contained. Thanks to
3472 3477 dryice-AT-liu.com.cn for the tip.
3473 3478
3474 3479 * pysh.py: I created a new profile 'shell', which implements a
3475 3480 _rudimentary_ IPython-based shell. This is in NO WAY a realy
3476 3481 system shell, nor will it become one anytime soon. It's mainly
3477 3482 meant to illustrate the use of the new flexible bash-like prompts.
3478 3483 I guess it could be used by hardy souls for true shell management,
3479 3484 but it's no tcsh/bash... pysh.py is loaded by the 'shell'
3480 3485 profile. This uses the InterpreterExec extension provided by
3481 3486 W.J. van der Laan <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3482 3487
3483 3488 * IPython/Prompts.py (PromptOut.__str__): now it will correctly
3484 3489 auto-align itself with the length of the previous input prompt
3485 3490 (taking into account the invisible color escapes).
3486 3491 (CachedOutput.__init__): Large restructuring of this class. Now
3487 3492 all three prompts (primary1, primary2, output) are proper objects,
3488 3493 managed by the 'parent' CachedOutput class. The code is still a
3489 3494 bit hackish (all prompts share state via a pointer to the cache),
3490 3495 but it's overall far cleaner than before.
3491 3496
3492 3497 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): modified to add verbose,
3493 3498 debug and header options. This makes the interface of all getout*
3494 3499 functions uniform.
3495 3500 (SystemExec.getoutputerror): added getoutputerror to SystemExec.
3496 3501
3497 3502 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.default_option): added a function to
3498 3503 allow registering default options for any magic command. This
3499 3504 makes it easy to have profiles which customize the magics globally
3500 3505 for a certain use. The values set through this function are
3501 3506 picked up by the parse_options() method, which all magics should
3502 3507 use to parse their options.
3503 3508
3504 3509 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): modified the warnings framework to
3505 3510 use the Term I/O class. I'm trying to slowly unify all of
3506 3511 IPython's I/O operations to pass through Term.
3507 3512
3508 3513 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt2._str_other): Added functionality in
3509 3514 the secondary prompt to correctly match the length of the primary
3510 3515 one for any prompt. Now multi-line code will properly line up
3511 3516 even for path dependent prompts, such as the new ones available
3512 3517 via the prompt_specials.
3513 3518
3514 3519 2004-06-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3515 3520
3516 3521 * IPython/Prompts.py (prompt_specials): Added the ability to have
3517 3522 bash-like special sequences in the prompts, which get
3518 3523 automatically expanded. Things like hostname, current working
3519 3524 directory and username are implemented already, but it's easy to
3520 3525 add more in the future. Thanks to a patch by W.J. van der Laan
3521 3526 <gnufnork-AT-hetdigitalegat.nl>
3522 3527 (prompt_specials): Added color support for prompt strings, so
3523 3528 users can define arbitrary color setups for their prompts.
3524 3529
3525 3530 2004-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3526 3531
3527 3532 * IPython/genutils.py (Term.reopen_all): Added Windows-specific
3528 3533 code to load Gary Bishop's readline and configure it
3529 3534 automatically. Thanks to Gary for help on this.
3530 3535
3531 3536 2004-06-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3532 3537
3533 3538 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix bug for logging
3534 3539 with no filename (previous fix was incomplete).
3535 3540
3536 3541 2004-05-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3537 3542
3538 3543 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): fix bug where naked
3539 3544 parens would get passed to the shell.
3540 3545
3541 3546 2004-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3542 3547
3543 3548 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): changed default profile
3544 3549 sort order to 'time' (the more common profiling need).
3545 3550
3546 3551 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): flush the inspect cache
3547 3552 so that source code shown is guaranteed in sync with the file on
3548 3553 disk (also changed in psource). Similar fix to the one for
3549 3554 ultraTB on 2004-05-06. Thanks to a bug report by Yann Le Du
3550 3555 <yann.ledu-AT-noos.fr>.
3551 3556
3552 3557 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Fixed bug where commands
3553 3558 with a single option would not be correctly parsed. Closes
3554 3559 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue14. This bug had been
3555 3560 introduced in 0.6.0 (on 2004-05-06).
3556 3561
3557 3562 2004-05-13 *** Released version 0.6.0
3558 3563
3559 3564 2004-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3560 3565
3561 3566 * debian/: Added debian/ directory to CVS, so that debian support
3562 3567 is publicly accessible. The debian package is maintained by Jack
3563 3568 Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
3564 3569
3565 3570 * Documentation: included the notes about an ipython-based system
3566 3571 shell (the hypothetical 'pysh') into the new_design.pdf document,
3567 3572 so that these ideas get distributed to users along with the
3568 3573 official documentation.
3569 3574
3570 3575 2004-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3571 3576
3572 3577 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): fix recently introduced
3573 3578 bug (misindented line) where logstart would fail when not given an
3574 3579 explicit filename.
3575 3580
3576 3581 2004-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3577 3582
3578 3583 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): skip system call when
3579 3584 there are no options to look for. Faster, cleaner for the common
3580 3585 case.
3581 3586
3582 3587 * Documentation: many updates to the manual: describing Windows
3583 3588 support better, Gnuplot updates, credits, misc small stuff. Also
3584 3589 updated the new_design doc a bit.
3585 3590
3586 3591 2004-05-06 *** Released version 0.6.0.rc1
3587 3592
3588 3593 2004-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3589 3594
3590 3595 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ListTB.text): modified a ton of string +=
3591 3596 operations to use the vastly more efficient list/''.join() method.
3592 3597 (FormattedTB.text): Fix
3593 3598 http://www.scipy.net/roundup/ipython/issue12 - exception source
3594 3599 extract not updated after reload. Thanks to Mike Salib
3595 3600 <msalib-AT-mit.edu> for pinning the source of the problem.
3596 3601 Fortunately, the solution works inside ipython and doesn't require
3597 3602 any changes to python proper.
3598 3603
3599 3604 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): Improved to process the
3600 3605 argument list as a true shell would (by actually using the
3601 3606 underlying system shell). This way, all @magics automatically get
3602 3607 shell expansion for variables. Thanks to a comment by Alex
3603 3608 Schmolck.
3604 3609
3605 3610 2004-04-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3606 3611
3607 3612 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added a special
3608 3613 trap for a debugger quit exception, which is basically impossible
3609 3614 to handle by normal mechanisms, given what pdb does to the stack.
3610 3615 This fixes a crash reported by <fgibbons-AT-llama.med.harvard.edu>.

3612 3617 2004-04-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3613 3618
3614 3619 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): Standardized the names of the Term
3615 3620 class streams to cin/cout/cerr, following C++ naming conventions
3616 3621 (I can't use in/out/err because 'in' is not a valid attribute
3617 3622 name).
3618 3623
3619 3624 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): don't increment
3620 3625 the prompt if there's no user input. By Daniel 'Dang' Griffith
3621 3626 <pythondev-dang-AT-lazytwinacres.net>, after a suggestion from
3622 3627 Francois Pinard.

3624 3629 2004-04-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3625 3630
3626 3631 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Modified to survive at
3627 3632 least importing in contexts where stdin/out/err aren't true file
3628 3633 objects, such as PyCrust (they lack fileno() and mode). However,
3629 3634 the recovery facilities which rely on these things existing will
3630 3635 not work.
3631 3636
3632 3637 2004-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3633 3638
3634 3639 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): modified (as well as @sc) to
3635 3640 use the new getoutputerror() function, so it properly
3636 3641 distinguishes stdout/err.
3637 3642
3638 3643 * IPython/genutils.py (getoutputerror): added a function to
3639 3644 capture separately the standard output and error of a command.
3640 3645 After a comment from dang on the mailing lists. This code is
3641 3646 basically a modified version of commands.getstatusoutput(), from
3642 3647 the standard library.
3643 3648
3644 3649 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_escape): added
3645 3650 '!!' as a special syntax (shorthand) to access @sx.
3646 3651
3647 3652 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sx): new magic, to execute a shell
3648 3653 command and return its output as a list split on '\n'.
3649 3654
3650 3655 2004-03-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3651 3656
3652 3657 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__init__): added __nonzero__
3653 3658 method to dictionaries used as FakeModule instances if they lack
3654 3659 it. At least pydoc in python2.3 breaks for runtime-defined
3655 3660 functions without this hack. At some point I need to _really_
3656 3661 understand what FakeModule is doing, because it's a gross hack.
3657 3662 But it solves Arnd's problem for now...
3658 3663
3659 3664 2004-02-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3660 3665
3661 3666 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.create_log): Fix bug where 'rotate'
3662 3667 mode would behave erratically. Also increased the number of
3663 3668 possible logs in rotate mod to 999. Thanks to Rod Holland
3664 3669 <rhh@StructureLABS.com> for the report and fixes.
3665 3670
3666 3671 2004-02-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3667 3672
3668 3673 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Check that the curses module really
3669 3674 has the initscr attribute before trying to use it. For some
3670 3675 reason, the Solaris curses module is missing this. I think this
3671 3676 should be considered a Solaris python bug, but I'm not sure.
3672 3677
3673 3678 2004-01-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3674 3679
3675 3680 * IPython/genutils.py (Stream.__init__): Changes to try to make
3676 3681 ipython robust against stdin/out/err being closed by the user.
3677 3682 This is 'user error' (and blocks a normal python session, at least
3678 3683 the stdout case). However, Ipython should be able to survive such
3679 3684 instances of abuse as gracefully as possible. To simplify the
3680 3685 coding and maintain compatibility with Gary Bishop's Term
3681 3686 contributions, I've made use of classmethods for this. I think
3682 3687 this introduces a dependency on python 2.2.
3683 3688
3684 3689 2004-01-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3685 3690
3686 3691 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): simplified the code a bit and
3687 3692 removed the need for importing the kinds module altogether.
3688 3693
3689 3694 2004-01-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3690 3695
3691 3696 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_sc): Made the shell capture system
3692 3697 a magic function instead, after some community feedback. No
3693 3698 special syntax will exist for it, but its name is deliberately
3694 3699 very short.
3695 3700
3696 3701 2003-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3697 3702
3698 3703 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_shell_assign): Added
3699 3704 new functionality, to automagically assign the result of a shell
3700 3705 command to a variable. I'll solicit some community feedback on
3701 3706 this before making it permanent.
3702 3707
3703 3708 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): Fix crash when info was
3704 3709 requested about callables for which inspect couldn't obtain a
3705 3710 proper argspec. Thanks to a crash report sent by Etienne
3706 3711 Posthumus <etienne-AT-apple01.cs.vu.nl>.
3707 3712
3708 3713 2003-12-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3709 3714
3710 3715 * IPython/genutils.py (page): patch for the pager to work across
3711 3716 various versions of Windows. By Gary Bishop.
3712 3717
3713 3718 2003-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3714 3719
3715 3720 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItems): Fixes for working with
3716 3721 Gnuplot.py version 1.7, whose internal names changed quite a bit.
3717 3722 While I tested this and it looks ok, there may still be corner
3718 3723 cases I've missed.
3719 3724
3720 3725 2003-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3721 3726
3722 3727 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed a bug
3723 3728 where a line like 'p,q=1,2' would fail because the automagic
3724 3729 system would be triggered for @p.
3725 3730
3726 3731 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): Tab-related
3727 3732 cleanups, code unmodified.
3728 3733
3729 3734 * IPython/genutils.py (Term): added a class for IPython to handle
3730 3735 output. In most cases it will just be a proxy for stdout/err, but
3731 3736 having this allows modifications to be made for some platforms,
3732 3737 such as handling color escapes under Windows. All of this code
3733 3738 was contributed by Gary Bishop, with minor modifications by me.
3734 3739 The actual changes affect many files.
3735 3740
3736 3741 2003-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3737 3742
3738 3743 * IPython/iplib.py (file_matches): new completion code, courtesy
3739 3744 of Jeff Collins. This enables filename completion again under
3740 3745 python 2.3, which disabled it at the C level.
3741 3746
3742 3747 2003-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3743 3748
3744 3749 * IPython/numutils.py (amap): Added amap() fn. Simple shorthand
3745 3750 for Numeric.array(map(...)), but often convenient.
3746 3751
3747 3752 2003-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3748 3753
3749 3754 * IPython/numutils.py (frange): Changed a call from int() to
3750 3755 int(round()) to prevent a problem reported with arange() in the
3751 3756 numpy list.
3752 3757
3753 3758 2003-10-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3754 3759
3755 3760 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.processArguments): changed to
3756 3761 prevent crashes if sys lacks an argv attribute (it happens with
3757 3762 embedded interpreters which build a bare-bones sys module).
3758 3763 Thanks to a report/bugfix by Adam Hupp <hupp-AT-cs.wisc.edu>.
3759 3764
3760 3765 2003-09-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3761 3766
3762 3767 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): blanket except around getattr()
3763 3768 to protect against poorly written user objects where __getattr__
3764 3769 raises exceptions other than AttributeError. Thanks to a bug
3765 3770 report by Oliver Sander <osander-AT-gmx.de>.
3766 3771
3767 3772 * IPython/FakeModule.py (FakeModule.__repr__): this method was
3768 3773 missing. Thanks to bug report by Ralf Schmitt <ralf-AT-brainbot.com>.
3769 3774
3770 3775 2003-09-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3771 3776
3772 3777 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fix bug where
3773 3778 unpacking a list whith a callable as first element would
3774 3779 mistakenly trigger autocalling. Thanks to a bug report by Jeffery
3775 3780 Collins.
3776 3781
3777 3782 2003-08-25 *** Released version 0.5.0
3778 3783
3779 3784 2003-08-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3780 3785
3781 3786 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Improved handling of
3782 3787 improperly defined user exceptions. Thanks to feedback from Mark
3783 3788 Russell <mrussell-AT-verio.net>.
3784 3789
3785 3790 2003-08-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3786 3791
3787 3792 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): changed String Form
3788 3793 printing so that it would print multi-line string forms starting
3789 3794 with a new line. This way the formatting is better respected for
3790 3795 objects which work hard to make nice string forms.
3791 3796
3792 3797 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_auto): Fix bug where
3793 3798 autocall would overtake data access for objects with both
3794 3799 __getitem__ and __call__.
3795 3800
3796 3801 2003-08-19 *** Released version 0.5.0-rc1
3797 3802
3798 3803 2003-08-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3799 3804
3800 3805 * IPython/deep_reload.py (load_tail): single tiny change here
3801 3806 seems to fix the long-standing bug of dreload() failing to work
3802 3807 for dotted names. But this module is pretty tricky, so I may have
3803 3808 missed some subtlety. Needs more testing!.
3804 3809
3805 3810 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): harden against user
3806 3811 exceptions which have badly implemented __str__ methods.
3807 3812 (VerboseTB.text): harden against inspect.getinnerframes crashing,
3808 3813 which I've been getting reports about from Python 2.3 users. I
3809 3814 wish I had a simple test case to reproduce the problem, so I could
3810 3815 either write a cleaner workaround or file a bug report if
3811 3816 necessary.
3812 3817
3813 3818 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed bug where after
3814 3819 making a class 'foo', file 'foo.py' couldn't be edited. Thanks to
3815 3820 a bug report by Tjabo Kloppenburg.
3816 3821
3817 3822 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): hardened against pdb
3818 3823 crashes. Wrapped the pdb call in a blanket try/except, since pdb
3819 3824 seems rather unstable. Thanks to a bug report by Tjabo
3820 3825 Kloppenburg <tjabo.kloppenburg-AT-unix-ag.uni-siegen.de>.
3821 3826
3822 3827 * IPython/Release.py (version): release 0.5.0-rc1. I want to put
3823 3828 this out soon because of the critical fixes in the inner loop for
3824 3829 generators.
3825 3830
3826 3831 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.getargspec): removed. This (and
3827 3832 _get_def) have been obsoleted by OInspect for a long time, I
3828 3833 hadn't noticed that they were dead code.
3829 3834 (Magic._ofind): restored _ofind functionality for a few literals
3830 3835 (those in ["''",'""','[]','{}','()']). But it won't work anymore
3831 3836 for things like "hello".capitalize?, since that would require a
3832 3837 potentially dangerous eval() again.
3833 3838
3834 3839 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reorganized the
3835 3840 logic a bit more to clean up the escapes handling and minimize the
3836 3841 use of _ofind to only necessary cases. The interactive 'feel' of
3837 3842 IPython should have improved quite a bit with the changes in
3838 3843 _prefilter and _ofind (besides being far safer than before).
3839 3844
3840 3845 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed old bug (but rather
3841 3846 obscure, never reported). Edit would fail to find the object to
3842 3847 edit under some circumstances.
3843 3848 (Magic._ofind): CRITICAL FIX. Finally removed the eval() calls
3844 3849 which were causing double-calling of generators. Those eval calls
3845 3850 were _very_ dangerous, since code with side effects could be
3846 3851 triggered. As they say, 'eval is evil'... These were the
3847 3852 nastiest evals in IPython. Besides, _ofind is now far simpler,
3848 3853 and it should also be quite a bit faster. Its use of inspect is
3849 3854 also safer, so perhaps some of the inspect-related crashes I've
3850 3855 seen lately with Python 2.3 might be taken care of. That will
3851 3856 need more testing.
3852 3857
3853 3858 2003-08-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3854 3859
3855 3860 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): significant
3856 3861 simplifications to the logic for handling user escapes. Faster
3857 3862 and simpler code.
3858 3863
3859 3864 2003-08-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3860 3865
3861 3866 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): rewrote to be non-recursive.
3862 3867 Now it requires O(N) storage (N=size(a)) for non-contiguous input,
3863 3868 but it should be quite a bit faster. And the recursive version
3864 3869 generated O(log N) intermediate storage for all rank>1 arrays,
3865 3870 even if they were contiguous.
3866 3871 (l1norm): Added this function.
3867 3872 (norm): Added this function for arbitrary norms (including
3868 3873 l-infinity). l1 and l2 are still special cases for convenience
3869 3874 and speed.
3870 3875
3871 3876 2003-08-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3872 3877
3873 3878 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Removed all remaining string
3874 3879 exceptions, which now raise PendingDeprecationWarnings in Python
3875 3880 2.3. There were some in Magic and some in Gnuplot2.
3876 3881
3877 3882 2003-06-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3878 3883
3879 3884 * IPython/genutils.py (page): modified to call curses only for
3880 3885 terminals where TERM=='xterm'. After problems under many other
3881 3886 terminals were reported by Keith Beattie <KSBeattie-AT-lbl.gov>.
3882 3887
3883 3888 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): removed spurious 'print "IE"' which
3884 3889 would be triggered when readline was absent. This was just an old
3885 3890 debugging statement I'd forgotten to take out.
3886 3891
3887 3892 2003-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3888 3893
3889 3894 * IPython/genutils.py (clock): modified to return only user time
3890 3895 (not counting system time), after a discussion on scipy. While
3891 3896 system time may be a useful quantity occasionally, it may much
3892 3897 more easily be skewed by occasional swapping or other similar
3893 3898 activity.
3894 3899
3895 3900 2003-06-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3896 3901
3897 3902 * IPython/numutils.py (identity): new function, for building
3898 3903 arbitrary rank Kronecker deltas (mostly backwards compatible with
3899 3904 Numeric.identity)
3900 3905
3901 3906 2003-06-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3902 3907
3903 3908 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): protect
3904 3909 arguments passed to magics with spaces, to allow trailing '\' to
3905 3910 work normally (mainly for Windows users).
3906 3911
3907 3912 2003-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3908 3913
3909 3914 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Load site._Helper() as help
3910 3915 instead of pydoc.help. This fixes a bizarre behavior where
3911 3916 printing '%s' % locals() would trigger the help system. Now
3912 3917 ipython behaves like normal python does.
3913 3918
3914 3919 Note that if one does 'from pydoc import help', the bizarre
3915 3920 behavior returns, but this will also happen in normal python, so
3916 3921 it's not an ipython bug anymore (it has to do with how pydoc.help
3917 3922 is implemented).
3918 3923
3919 3924 2003-05-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3920 3925
3921 3926 * IPython/FlexCompleter.py (Completer.attr_matches): fixed to
3922 3927 return [] instead of None when nothing matches, also match to end
3923 3928 of line. Patch by Gary Bishop.
3924 3929
3925 3930 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Added same sys.excepthook
3926 3931 protection as before, for files passed on the command line. This
3927 3932 prevents the CrashHandler from kicking in if user files call into
3928 3933 sys.excepthook (such as PyQt and WxWindows have a nasty habit of
3929 3934 doing). After a report by Kasper Souren <Kasper.Souren-AT-ircam.fr>
3930 3935
3931 3936 2003-05-20 *** Released version 0.4.0
3932 3937
3933 3938 2003-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3934 3939
3935 3940 * setup.py: added support for manpages. It's a bit hackish b/c of
3936 3941 a bug in the way the bdist_rpm distutils target handles gzipped
3937 3942 manpages, but it works. After a patch by Jack.
3938 3943
3939 3944 2003-05-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3940 3945
3941 3946 * IPython/numutils.py: added a mockup of the kinds module, since
3942 3947 it was recently removed from Numeric. This way, numutils will
3943 3948 work for all users even if they are missing kinds.
3944 3949
3945 3950 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Harden against an inspect
3946 3951 failure, which can occur with SWIG-wrapped extensions. After a
3947 3952 crash report from Prabhu.
3948 3953
3949 3954 2003-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3950 3955
3951 3956 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.excepthook): New method to
3952 3957 protect ipython from user code which may call directly
3953 3958 sys.excepthook (this looks like an ipython crash to the user, even
3954 3959 when it isn't). After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3955 3960 This is especially important to help users of WxWindows, but may
3956 3961 also be useful in other cases.
3957 3962
3958 3963 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): Changed to allow
3959 3964 an optional tb_offset to be specified, and to preserve exception
3960 3965 info if given. After a patch by Gary Bishop <gb-AT-cs.unc.edu>.
3961 3966
3962 3967 * ipython.1 (Default): Thanks to Jack's work, we now have manpages!
3963 3968

3966 3971 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fix crash when
3967 3972 installing for a new user under Windows.
3968 3973
3969 3974 2003-05-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3970 3975
3971 3976 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_emacs): New line
3972 3977 handler for Emacs comint-based lines. Currently it doesn't do
3973 3978 much (but importantly, it doesn't update the history cache). In
3974 3979 the future it may be expanded if Alex needs more functionality
3975 3980 there.
3976 3981
3977 3982 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): Added platform
3978 3983 info to crash reports.
3979 3984
3980 3985 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.mainloop): Added -c option,
3981 3986 just like Python's -c. Also fixed crash with invalid -color
3982 3987 option value at startup. Thanks to Will French
3983 3988 <wfrench-AT-bestweb.net> for the bug report.
3984 3989
3985 3990 2003-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3986 3991
3987 3992 * IPython/genutils.py (EvalDict.__getitem__): Renamed EvalString
3988 3993 to EvalDict (it's a mapping, after all) and simplified its code
3989 3994 quite a bit, after a nice discussion on c.l.py where Gustavo
3990 3995 CΓ³rdova <gcordova-AT-sismex.com> suggested the new version.
3991 3996
3992 3997 2003-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3993 3998
3994 3999 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): modified it to reduce its
3995 4000 overhead in the common reps==1 case.
3996 4001
3997 4002 2003-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
3998 4003
3999 4004 * IPython/genutils.py (timings_out): Modified to use the resource
4000 4005 module, which avoids the wraparound problems of time.clock().
4001 4006
4002 4007 2003-04-17 *** Released version 0.2.15pre4
4003 4008
4004 4009 2003-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4005 4010
4006 4011 * setup.py (scriptfiles): Split windows-specific stuff over to a
4007 4012 separate file, in an attempt to have a Windows GUI installer.
4008 4013 That didn't work, but part of the groundwork is done.
4009 4014
4010 4015 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc: Added M-i, M-o and M-I for
4011 4016 indent/unindent with 4 spaces. Particularly useful in combination
4012 4017 with the new auto-indent option.
4013 4018
4014 4019 2003-04-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4015 4020
4016 4021 * IPython/Magic.py: various replacements of self.rc for
4017 4022 self.shell.rc. A lot more remains to be done to fully disentangle
4018 4023 this class from the main Shell class.
4019 4024
4020 4025 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: added checks for mouse support so
4021 4026 that we don't try to enable it if the current gnuplot doesn't
4022 4027 really support it. Also added checks so that we don't try to
4023 4028 enable persist under Windows (where Gnuplot doesn't recognize the
4024 4029 option).
4025 4030
4026 4031 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added optional
4027 4032 auto-indenting code, after a patch by King C. Shu
4028 4033 <kingshu-AT-myrealbox.com>. It's off by default because it doesn't
4029 4034 get along well with pasting indented code. If I ever figure out
4030 4035 how to make that part go well, it will become on by default.
4031 4036
4032 4037 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixed bug which would
4033 4038 crash ipython if there was an unmatched '%' in the user's prompt
4034 4039 string. Reported by Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4035 4040
4036 4041 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): removed the
4037 4042 ability to ask the user whether he wants to crash or not at the
4038 4043 'last line' exception handler. Calling functions at that point
4039 4044 changes the stack, and the error reports would have incorrect
4040 4045 tracebacks.
4041 4046
4042 4047 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_page): Added new @page magic, to
4043 4048 pass through a peger a pretty-printed form of any object. After a
4044 4049 contribution by Olivier Aubert <oaubert-AT-bat710.univ-lyon1.fr>
4045 4050
4046 4051 2003-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4047 4052
4048 4053 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): Fixed bug where
4049 4054 all files in ~ would be modified at first install (instead of
4050 4055 ~/.ipython). This could be potentially disastrous, as the
4051 4056 modification (make line-endings native) could damage binary files.
4052 4057
4053 4058 2003-04-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4054 4059
4055 4060 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_help): Modified to
4056 4061 handle only lines which are invalid python. This now means that
4057 4062 lines like 'x=1 #?' execute properly. Thanks to Jeffery Collins
4058 4063 for the bug report.
4059 4064
4060 4065 2003-04-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4061 4066
4062 4067 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): Fixed bug
4063 4068 where failing to set sys.last_traceback would crash pdb.pm().
4064 4069 Thanks to Jeffery D. Collins <Jeff.Collins-AT-vexcel.com> for the bug
4065 4070 report.
4066 4071
4067 4072 2003-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4068 4073
4069 4074 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): rstrip() output of profiler
4070 4075 before printing it (it had a lot of spurious blank lines at the
4071 4076 end).
4072 4077
4073 4078 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): fixed bug where lpr
4074 4079 output would be sent 21 times! Obviously people don't use this
4075 4080 too often, or I would have heard about it.
4076 4081
4077 4082 2003-03-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4078 4083
4079 4084 * setup.py (scriptfiles): renamed the data_files parameter from
4080 4085 'base' to 'data' to fix rpm build issues. Thanks to Ralf Ahlbrink
4081 4086 for the patch.
4082 4087
4083 4088 2003-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4084 4089
4085 4090 * IPython/genutils.py (error): added error() and fatal()
4086 4091 functions.
4087 4092
4088 4093 2003-03-18 *** Released version 0.2.15pre3
4089 4094
4090 4095 2003-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4091 4096
4092 4097 * setupext/install_data_ext.py
4093 4098 (install_data_ext.initialize_options): Class contributed by Jack
4094 4099 Moffit for fixing the old distutils hack. He is sending this to
4095 4100 the distutils folks so in the future we may not need it as a
4096 4101 private fix.
4097 4102
4098 4103 * MANIFEST.in: Extensive reorganization, based on Jack Moffit's
4099 4104 changes for Debian packaging. See his patch for full details.
4100 4105 The old distutils hack of making the ipythonrc* files carry a
4101 4106 bogus .py extension is gone, at last. Examples were moved to a
4102 4107 separate subdir under doc/, and the separate executable scripts
4103 4108 now live in their own directory. Overall a great cleanup. The
4104 4109 manual was updated to use the new files, and setup.py has been
4105 4110 fixed for this setup.
4106 4111
4107 4112 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.usage): made non-executable and
4108 4113 created a pycolor wrapper around it to be included as a script.
4109 4114
4110 4115 2003-03-12 *** Released version 0.2.15pre2
4111 4116
4112 4117 2003-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4113 4118
4114 4119 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (make_color_table): Finally fixed the
4115 4120 long-standing problem with garbage characters in some terminals.
4116 4121 The issue was really that the \001 and \002 escapes must _only_ be
4117 4122 passed to input prompts (which call readline), but _never_ to
4118 4123 normal text to be printed on screen. I changed ColorANSI to have
4119 4124 two classes: TermColors and InputTermColors, each with the
4120 4125 appropriate escapes for input prompts or normal text. The code in
4121 4126 Prompts.py got slightly more complicated, but this very old and
4122 4127 annoying bug is finally fixed.
4123 4128
4124 4129 All the credit for nailing down the real origin of this problem
4125 4130 and the correct solution goes to Jack Moffit <jack-AT-xiph.org>.
4126 4131 *Many* thanks to him for spending quite a bit of effort on this.
4127 4132
4128 4133 2003-03-05 *** Released version 0.2.15pre1
4129 4134
4130 4135 2003-03-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4131 4136
4132 4137 * IPython/FakeModule.py: Moved the former _FakeModule to a
4133 4138 separate file, because it's also needed by Magic (to fix a similar
4134 4139 pickle-related issue in @run).
4135 4140
4136 4141 2003-03-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4137 4142
4138 4143 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_autocall): new magic to control
4139 4144 the autocall option at runtime.
4140 4145 (Magic.magic_dhist): changed self.user_ns to self.shell.user_ns
4141 4146 across Magic.py to start separating Magic from InteractiveShell.
4142 4147 (Magic._ofind): Fixed to return proper namespace for dotted
4143 4148 names. Before, a dotted name would always return 'not currently
4144 4149 defined', because it would find the 'parent'. s.x would be found,
4145 4150 but since 'x' isn't defined by itself, it would get confused.
4146 4151 (Magic.magic_run): Fixed pickling problems reported by Ralf
4147 4152 Ahlbrink <RAhlbrink-AT-RosenInspection.net>. The fix was similar to
4148 4153 that I'd used when Mike Heeter reported similar issues at the
4149 4154 top-level, but now for @run. It boils down to injecting the
4150 4155 namespace where code is being executed with something that looks
4151 4156 enough like a module to fool pickle.dump(). Since a pickle stores
4152 4157 a named reference to the importing module, we need this for
4153 4158 pickles to save something sensible.
4154 4159
4155 4160 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added an autocall option.
4156 4161
4157 4162 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): reordered all of
4158 4163 the auto-eval code. Now autocalling is an option, and the code is
4159 4164 also vastly safer. There is no more eval() involved at all.
4160 4165
4161 4166 2003-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4162 4167
4163 4168 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): Changed interface to return a
4164 4169 dict with named keys instead of a tuple.
4165 4170
4166 4171 * IPython: Started using CVS for IPython as of 0.2.15pre1.
4167 4172
4168 4173 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixed message about directories
4169 4174 created during Windows installation (the directories were ok, just
4170 4175 the printed message was misleading). Thanks to Chris Liechti
4171 4176 <cliechti-AT-gmx.net> for the heads up.
4172 4177
4173 4178 2003-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4174 4179
4175 4180 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed catching
4176 4181 of ValueError exception when checking for auto-execution. This
4177 4182 one is raised by things like Numeric arrays arr.flat when the
4178 4183 array is non-contiguous.
4179 4184
4180 4185 2003-01-31 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4181 4186
4182 4187 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.bq): Fixed bug where bq would
4183 4188 not return any value at all (even though the command would get
4184 4189 executed).
4185 4190 (xsys): Flush stdout right after printing the command to ensure
4186 4191 proper ordering of commands and command output in the total
4187 4192 output.
4188 4193 (SystemExec/xsys/bq): Switched the names of xsys/bq and
4189 4194 system/getoutput as defaults. The old ones are kept for
4190 4195 compatibility reasons, so no code which uses this library needs
4191 4196 changing.
4192 4197
4193 4198 2003-01-27 *** Released version 0.2.14
4194 4199
4195 4200 2003-01-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4196 4201
4197 4202 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): Fixed problem where
4198 4203 functions defined in previous edit sessions could not be re-edited
4199 4204 (because the temp files were immediately removed). Now temp files
4200 4205 are removed only at IPython's exit.
4201 4206 (Magic.magic_run): Improved @run to perform shell-like expansions
4202 4207 on its arguments (~users and $VARS). With this, @run becomes more
4203 4208 like a normal command-line.
4204 4209
4205 4210 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.__call__): Fixed a bunch of small
4206 4211 bugs related to embedding and cleaned up that code. A fairly
4207 4212 important one was the impossibility to access the global namespace
4208 4213 through the embedded IPython (only local variables were visible).
4209 4214
4210 4215 2003-01-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4211 4216
4212 4217 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Fixed
4213 4218 auto-calling to be a bit more conservative. Now it doesn't get
4214 4219 triggered if any of '!=()<>' are in the rest of the input line, to
4215 4220 allow comparing callables. Thanks to Alex for the heads up.
4216 4221
4217 4222 2003-01-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4218 4223
4219 4224 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed estimation of the number of
4220 4225 lines in a string to be paged to simply count newlines. This
4221 4226 prevents over-guessing due to embedded escape sequences. A better
4222 4227 long-term solution would involve stripping out the control chars
4223 4228 for the count, but it's potentially so expensive I just don't
4224 4229 think it's worth doing.
4225 4230
4226 4231 2002-12-19 *** Released version 0.2.14pre50
4227 4232
4228 4233 2002-12-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4229 4234
4230 4235 * tools/release (version): Changed release scripts to inform
4231 4236 Andrea and build a NEWS file with a list of recent changes.
4232 4237
4233 4238 * IPython/ColorANSI.py (__all__): changed terminal detection
4234 4239 code. Seems to work better for xterms without breaking
4235 4240 konsole. Will need more testing to determine if WinXP and Mac OSX
4236 4241 also work ok.
4237 4242
4238 4243 2002-12-18 *** Released version 0.2.14pre49
4239 4244
4240 4245 2002-12-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4241 4246
4242 4247 * Docs: added new info about Mac OSX, from Andrea.
4243 4248
4244 4249 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (String): Added a String PlotItem class to
4245 4250 allow direct plotting of python strings whose format is the same
4246 4251 of gnuplot data files.
4247 4252
4248 4253 2002-12-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4249 4254
4250 4255 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): fixed default (y)
4251 4256 value of exit question to be acknowledged.
4252 4257
4253 4258 2002-12-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4254 4259
4255 4260 * IPython/ipmaker.py: removed generators, which had been added
4256 4261 by mistake in an earlier debugging run. This was causing trouble
4257 4262 to users of python 2.1.x. Thanks to Abel Daniel <abli-AT-freemail.hu>
4258 4263 for pointing this out.
4259 4264
4260 4265 2002-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4261 4266
4262 4267 * Manual: updated the Gnuplot section.
4263 4268
4264 4269 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: refactored a lot all this code, with
4265 4270 a much better split of what goes in Runtime and what goes in
4266 4271 Interactive.
4267 4272
4268 4273 * IPython/ipmaker.py: fixed bug where import_fail_info wasn't
4269 4274 being imported from iplib.
4270 4275
4271 4276 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gpc): renamed @gp to @gpc
4272 4277 for command-passing. Now the global Gnuplot instance is called
4273 4278 'gp' instead of 'g', which was really a far too fragile and
4274 4279 common name.
4275 4280
4276 4281 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (eps_fix_bbox): added this to fix broken
4277 4282 bounding boxes generated by Gnuplot for square plots.
4278 4283
4279 4284 * IPython/genutils.py (popkey): new function added. I should
4280 4285 suggest this on c.l.py as a dict method, it seems useful.
4281 4286
4282 4287 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.plot): Overhauled plot and replot
4283 4288 to transparently handle PostScript generation. MUCH better than
4284 4289 the previous plot_eps/replot_eps (which I removed now). The code
4285 4290 is also fairly clean and well documented now (including
4286 4291 docstrings).
4287 4292
4288 4293 2002-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4289 4294
4290 4295 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_edit): fixed docstring
4291 4296 (inconsistent with options).
4292 4297
4293 4298 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (Gnuplot.hardcopy): hardcopy had been
4294 4299 manually disabled, I don't know why. Fixed it.
4295 4300 (Gnuplot._plot_eps): added new plot_eps/replot_eps to get directly
4296 4301 eps output.
4297 4302
4298 4303 2002-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4299 4304
4300 4305 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): trap EOF and ^C so that they
4301 4306 don't propagate up to caller. Fixes crash reported by François
4302 4307 Pinard.
4303 4308
4304 4309 2002-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4305 4310
4306 4311 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed problem with writing
4307 4312 history file for new users.
4308 4313 (make_IPython): fixed bug where initial install would leave the
4309 4314 user running in the .ipython dir.
4310 4315 (make_IPython): fixed bug where config dir .ipython would be
4311 4316 created regardless of the given -ipythondir option. Thanks to Cory
4312 4317 Dodt <cdodt-AT-fcoe.k12.ca.us> for the bug report.
4313 4318
4314 4319 * IPython/genutils.py (ask_yes_no): new function for asking yes/no
4315 4320 type confirmations. Will need to use it in all of IPython's code
4316 4321 consistently.
4317 4322
4318 4323 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed the
4319 4324 context to print 31 lines instead of the default 5. This will make
4320 4325 the crash reports extremely detailed in case the problem is in
4321 4326 libraries I don't have access to.
4322 4327
4323 4328 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): changed the 'last
4324 4329 line of defense' code to still crash, but giving users fair
4325 4330 warning. I don't want internal errors to go unreported: if there's
4326 4331 an internal problem, IPython should crash and generate a full
4327 4332 report.
4328 4333
4329 4334 2002-11-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4330 4335
4331 4336 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added code to trap
4332 4337 otherwise uncaught exceptions which can appear if people set
4333 4338 sys.stdout to something badly broken. Thanks to a crash report
4334 4339 from henni-AT-mail.brainbot.com.
4335 4340
4336 4341 2002-11-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4337 4342
4338 4343 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added
4339 4344 __IPYTHON__active to the builtins. It's a flag which goes on when
4340 4345 the interaction starts and goes off again when it stops. This
4341 4346 allows embedding code to detect being inside IPython. Before this
4342 4347 was done via __IPYTHON__, but that only shows that an IPython
4343 4348 instance has been created.
4344 4349
4345 4350 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_env): I realized that in a
4346 4351 UserDict, instance.data holds the data as a normal dict. So I
4347 4352 modified @env to return os.environ.data instead of rebuilding a
4348 4353 dict by hand.
4349 4354
4350 4355 2002-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4351 4356
4352 4357 * IPython/genutils.py (warn): changed so that level 1 prints no
4353 4358 header. Level 2 is now the default (with 'WARNING' header, as
4354 4359 before). I think I tracked all places where changes were needed in
4355 4360 IPython, but outside code using the old level numbering may have
4356 4361 broken.
4357 4362
4358 4363 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.runcode): added this to
4359 4364 handle the tracebacks in SystemExit traps correctly. The previous
4360 4365 code (through interact) was printing more of the stack than
4361 4366 necessary, showing IPython internal code to the user.
4362 4367
4363 4368 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Made confirm_exit 1 by
4364 4369 default. Now that the default at the confirmation prompt is yes,
4365 4370 it's not so intrusive. François' argument that ipython sessions
4366 4371 tend to be complex enough not to lose them from an accidental C-d,
4367 4372 is a valid one.
4368 4373
4369 4374 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): added a
4370 4375 showtraceback() call to the SystemExit trap, and modified the exit
4371 4376 confirmation to have yes as the default.
4372 4377
4373 4378 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: removed 'session' option from
4374 4379 this file. It's been gone from the code for a long time, this was
4375 4380 simply leftover junk.
4376 4381
4377 4382 2002-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4378 4383
4379 4384 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: new confirm_exit option
4380 4385 added. If set, IPython now traps EOF and asks for
4381 4386 confirmation. After a request by François Pinard.
4382 4387
4383 4388 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_Exit): New @Exit and @Quit instead
4384 4389 of @abort, and with a new (better) mechanism for handling the
4385 4390 exceptions.
4386 4391
4387 4392 2002-10-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4388 4393
4389 4394 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): updated the --help information and
4390 4395 the ipythonrc file to indicate that -log generates
4391 4396 ./ipython.log. Also fixed the corresponding info in @logstart.
4392 4397 This and several other fixes in the manuals thanks to reports by
4393 4398 François Pinard <pinard-AT-iro.umontreal.ca>.
4394 4399
4395 4400 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Fixed error message to
4396 4401 refer to @logstart (instead of @log, which doesn't exist).
4397 4402
4398 4403 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): fixed
4399 4404 AttributeError crash. Thanks to Christopher Armstrong
4400 4405 <radix-AT-twistedmatrix.com> for the report/fix. This bug had been
4401 4406 introduced recently (in 0.2.14pre37) with the fix to the eval
4402 4407 problem mentioned below.
4403 4408
4404 4409 2002-10-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4405 4410
4406 4411 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): Fixes for Windows
4407 4412 installation. Thanks to Leonardo Santagada <retype-AT-terra.com.br>.
4408 4413
4409 4414 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Many changes to
4410 4415 this function to fix a problem reported by Alex Schmolck. He saw
4411 4416 it with list comprehensions and generators, which were getting
4412 4417 called twice. The real problem was an 'eval' call in testing for
4413 4418 automagic which was evaluating the input line silently.
4414 4419
4415 4420 This is a potentially very nasty bug, if the input has side
4416 4421 effects which must not be repeated. The code is much cleaner now,
4417 4422 without any blanket 'except' left and with a regexp test for
4418 4423 actual function names.
4419 4424
4420 4425 But an eval remains, which I'm not fully comfortable with. I just
4421 4426 don't know how to find out if an expression could be a callable in
4422 4427 the user's namespace without doing an eval on the string. However
4423 4428 that string is now much more strictly checked so that no code
4424 4429 slips by, so the eval should only happen for things that can
4425 4430 really be only function/method names.
4426 4431
4427 4432 2002-10-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4428 4433
4429 4434 * Updated LyX to 1.2.1 so I can work on the docs again. Added Mac
4430 4435 OSX information to main manual, removed README_Mac_OSX file from
4431 4436 distribution. Also updated credits for recent additions.
4432 4437
4433 4438 2002-10-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4434 4439
4435 4440 * README_Mac_OSX: Added a README for Mac OSX users for fixing
4436 4441 terminal-related issues. Many thanks to Andrea Riciputi
4437 4442 <andrea.riciputi-AT-libero.it> for writing it.
4438 4443
4439 4444 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: Fixes to various small issues,
4440 4445 thanks to Thorsten Kampe <thorsten-AT-thorstenkampe.de>.
4441 4446
4442 4447 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Fixes for Windows installation. Thanks
4443 4448 to Fredrik Kant <fredrik.kant-AT-front.com> and Syver Enstad
4444 4449 <syver-en-AT-online.no> who both submitted patches for this problem.
4445 4450
4446 4451 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Patch for
4447 4452 global embedding to make sure that things don't overwrite user
4448 4453 globals accidentally. Thanks to Richard <rxe-AT-renre-europe.com>
4449 4454
4450 4455 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (gp): Patch for Gnuplot.py 1.6
4451 4456 compatibility. Thanks to Hayden Callow
4452 4457 <h.callow-AT-elec.canterbury.ac.nz>
4453 4458
4454 4459 2002-10-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4455 4460
4456 4461 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (PlotItem): Added 'index' option for
4457 4462 Gnuplot.File objects.
4458 4463
4459 4464 2002-07-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4460 4465
4461 4466 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): Added timings() and timing() for
4462 4467 quick access to the most commonly needed data, the execution
4463 4468 times. Old timing() renamed to timings_out().
4464 4469
4465 4470 2002-07-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4466 4471
4467 4472 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShellEmbed.restore_system_completer): fixed
4468 4473 bug with nested instances disrupting the parent's tab completion.
4469 4474
4470 4475 * IPython/iplib.py (all_completions): Added Alex Schmolck's
4471 4476 all_completions code to begin the emacs integration.
4472 4477
4473 4478 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): Added optional 'titles'
4474 4479 argument to allow titling individual arrays when plotting.
4475 4480
4476 4481 2002-07-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4477 4482
4478 4483 * setup.py (make_shortcut): changed to retrieve the value of
4479 4484 'Program Files' directory from the registry (this value changes in
4480 4485 non-english versions of Windows). Thanks to Thomas Fanslau
4481 4486 <tfanslau-AT-gmx.de> for the report.
4482 4487
4483 4488 2002-07-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4484 4489
4485 4490 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.debugger): enabled workaround for
4486 4491 a bug in pdb, which crashes if a line with only whitespace is
4487 4492 entered. Bug report submitted to sourceforge.
4488 4493
4489 4494 2002-07-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4490 4495
4491 4496 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.nullrepr): fixed rare crash when
4492 4497 reporting exceptions (it's a bug in inspect.py, I just set a
4493 4498 workaround).
4494 4499
4495 4500 2002-07-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4496 4501
4497 4502 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): fixed reference to
4498 4503 __IPYTHON__ in __builtins__ to show up in user_ns.
4499 4504
4500 4505 2002-07-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4501 4506
4502 4507 * IPython/GnuplotInteractive.py (magic_gp_set_default): changed
4503 4508 name from @gp_set_instance to @gp_set_default.
4504 4509
4505 4510 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): default editor value set to
4506 4511 '0' (a string), to match the rc file. Otherwise will crash when
4507 4512 .strip() is called on it.
4508 4513
4509 4514
4510 4515 2002-06-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4511 4516
4512 4517 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): fix importing
4513 4518 of files in current directory when a file is executed via
4514 4519 @run. Patch also by RA <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>.
4515 4520
4516 4521 * setup.py (manfiles): fix for rpm builds, submitted by RA
4517 4522 <ralf_ahlbrink-AT-web.de>. Now we have RPMs!
4518 4523
4519 4524 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed lookup of default
4520 4525 editor when set to '0'. Problem was, '0' evaluates to True (it's a
4521 4526 string!). A. Schmolck caught this one.
4522 4527
4523 4528 2002-06-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4524 4529
4525 4530 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed bug when running user
4526 4531 defined files at the cmd line. __name__ wasn't being set to
4527 4532 __main__.
4528 4533
4529 4534 * IPython/Gnuplot2.py (zip_items): improved it so it can plot also
4530 4535 regular lists and tuples besides Numeric arrays.
4531 4536
4532 4537 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Added output
4533 4538 supression for input ending with ';'. Similar to Mathematica and
4534 4539 Matlab. The _* vars and Out[] list are still updated, just like
4535 4540 Mathematica behaves.
4536 4541
4537 4542 2002-06-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4538 4543
4539 4544 * IPython/ConfigLoader.py (ConfigLoader.load): fixed checking of
4540 4545 .ini extensions for profiels under Windows.
4541 4546
4542 4547 * IPython/OInspect.py (Inspector.pinfo): improved alignment of
4543 4548 string form. Fix contributed by Alexander Schmolck
4544 4549 <a.schmolck-AT-gmx.net>
4545 4550
4546 4551 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py (gp_new): new function. Returns a
4547 4552 pre-configured Gnuplot instance.
4548 4553
4549 4554 2002-06-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4550 4555
4551 4556 * IPython/numutils.py (exp_safe): new function, works around the
4552 4557 underflow problems in Numeric.
4553 4558 (log2): New fn. Safe log in base 2: returns exact integer answer
4554 4559 for exact integer powers of 2.
4555 4560
4556 4561 * IPython/Magic.py (get_py_filename): fixed it not expanding '~'
4557 4562 properly.
4558 4563
4559 4564 2002-06-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4560 4565
4561 4566 * IPython/genutils.py (timing): new function like
4562 4567 Mathematica's. Similar to time_test, but returns more info.
4563 4568
4564 4569 2002-06-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4565 4570
4566 4571 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_save): modified @save and @r
4567 4572 according to Mike Heeter's suggestions.
4568 4573
4569 4574 2002-06-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4570 4575
4571 4576 * IPython/GnuplotRuntime.py: Massive overhaul to the Gnuplot
4572 4577 system. GnuplotMagic is gone as a user-directory option. New files
4573 4578 make it easier to use all the gnuplot stuff both from external
4574 4579 programs as well as from IPython. Had to rewrite part of
4575 4580 hardcopy() b/c of a strange bug: often the ps files simply don't
4576 4581 get created, and require a repeat of the command (often several
4577 4582 times).
4578 4583
4579 4584 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): changed to
4580 4585 resolve output channel at call time, so that if sys.stderr has
4581 4586 been redirected by user this gets honored.
4582 4587
4583 4588 2002-06-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4584 4589
4585 4590 * IPython/Shell.py (IPShell.__init__): Changed IPythonShell to
4586 4591 IPShell. Kept a copy with the old names to avoid breaking people's
4587 4592 embedded code.
4588 4593
4589 4594 * IPython/ipython: simplified it to the bare minimum after
4590 4595 Holger's suggestions. Added info about how to use it in
4591 4596 PYTHONSTARTUP.
4592 4597
4593 4598 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShell): changed the options passing
4594 4599 from a string with funky %s replacements to a straight list. Maybe
4595 4600 a bit more typing, but it follows sys.argv conventions, so there's
4596 4601 less special-casing to remember.
4597 4602
4598 4603 2002-06-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4599 4604
4600 4605 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_r): new magic auto-repeat
4601 4606 command. Thanks to a suggestion by Mike Heeter.
4602 4607 (Magic.magic_pfile): added behavior to look at filenames if given
4603 4608 arg is not a defined object.
4604 4609 (Magic.magic_save): New @save function to save code snippets. Also
4605 4610 a Mike Heeter idea.
4606 4611
4607 4612 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (plot): Improvements to
4608 4613 plot() and replot(). Much more convenient now, especially for
4609 4614 interactive use.
4610 4615
4611 4616 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Added .py automatically to
4612 4617 filenames.
4613 4618
4614 4619 2002-06-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4615 4620
4616 4621 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__init__): modified to admit
4617 4622 initialization via another struct.
4618 4623
4619 4624 * IPython/genutils.py (SystemExec.__init__): New stateful
4620 4625 interface to xsys and bq. Useful for writing system scripts.
4621 4626
4622 4627 2002-05-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4623 4628
4624 4629 * MANIFEST.in: Changed docfile selection to exclude all the lyx
4625 4630 documents. This will make the user download smaller (it's getting
4626 4631 too big).
4627 4632
4628 4633 2002-05-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4629 4634
4630 4635 * IPython/iplib.py (_FakeModule.__init__): New class introduced to
4631 4636 fix problems with shelve and pickle. Seems to work, but I don't
4632 4637 know if corner cases break it. Thanks to Mike Heeter
4633 4638 <korora-AT-SDF.LONESTAR.ORG> for the bug reports and test cases.
4634 4639
4635 4640 2002-05-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4636 4641
4637 4642 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): fixed magics embedded in
4638 4643 macros having broken.
4639 4644
4640 4645 2002-05-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4641 4646
4642 4647 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): fixed recently
4643 4648 introduced logging bug: all history before logging started was
4644 4649 being written one character per line! This came from the redesign
4645 4650 of the input history as a special list which slices to strings,
4646 4651 not to lists.
4647 4652
4648 4653 2002-05-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4649 4654
4650 4655 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): made the color table
4651 4656 be an attribute of all classes in this module. The design of these
4652 4657 classes needs some serious overhauling.
4653 4658
4654 4659 * IPython/DPyGetOpt.py (DPyGetOpt.setPosixCompliance): fixed bug
4655 4660 which was ignoring '_' in option names.
4656 4661
4657 4662 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Changed
4658 4663 'Verbose_novars' to 'Context' and made it the new default. It's a
4659 4664 bit more readable and also safer than verbose.
4660 4665
4661 4666 * IPython/PyColorize.py (Parser.__call__): Fixed coloring of
4662 4667 triple-quoted strings.
4663 4668
4664 4669 * IPython/OInspect.py (__all__): new module exposing the object
4665 4670 introspection facilities. Now the corresponding magics are dummy
4666 4671 wrappers around this. Having this module will make it much easier
4667 4672 to put these functions into our modified pdb.
4668 4673 This new object inspector system uses the new colorizing module,
4669 4674 so source code and other things are nicely syntax highlighted.
4670 4675
4671 4676 2002-05-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4672 4677
4673 4678 * IPython/ColorANSI.py: Split the coloring tools into a separate
4674 4679 module so I can use them in other code easier (they were part of
4675 4680 ultraTB).
4676 4681
4677 4682 2002-05-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4678 4683
4679 4684 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4680 4685 fixed it to set the global 'g' also to the called instance, as
4681 4686 long as 'g' was still a gnuplot instance (so it doesn't overwrite
4682 4687 user's 'g' variables).
4683 4688
4684 4689 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added In/Out
4685 4690 global variables (aliases to _ih,_oh) so that users which expect
4686 4691 In[5] or Out[7] to work aren't unpleasantly surprised.
4687 4692 (InputList.__getslice__): new class to allow executing slices of
4688 4693 input history directly. Very simple class, complements the use of
4689 4694 macros.
4690 4695
4691 4696 2002-05-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4692 4697
4693 4698 * setup.py (docdirbase): make doc directory be just doc/IPython
4694 4699 without version numbers, it will reduce clutter for users.
4695 4700
4696 4701 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): Add explicit local dict to
4697 4702 execfile call to prevent possible memory leak. See for details:
4698 4703 http://mail.python.org/pipermail/python-list/2002-February/088476.html
4699 4704
4700 4705 2002-05-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4701 4706
4702 4707 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_psource): made the object
4703 4708 introspection names be more standard: pdoc, pdef, pfile and
4704 4709 psource. They all print/page their output, and it makes
4705 4710 remembering them easier. Kept old names for compatibility as
4706 4711 aliases.
4707 4712
4708 4713 2002-05-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4709 4714
4710 4715 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: I think I finally understood
4711 4716 what the mouse problem was. The trick is to use gnuplot with temp
4712 4717 files and NOT with pipes (for data communication), because having
4713 4718 both pipes and the mouse on is bad news.
4714 4719
4715 4720 2002-05-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4716 4721
4717 4722 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic._ofind): fixed namespace order search
4718 4723 bug. Information would be reported about builtins even when
4719 4724 user-defined functions overrode them.
4720 4725
4721 4726 2002-05-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4722 4727
4723 4728 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed FlexCompleter from
4724 4729 __all__ so that things don't fail in platforms without readline.
4725 4730
4726 4731 2002-05-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4727 4732
4728 4733 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): removed numutils from __all__ b/c
4729 4734 it requires Numeric, effectively making Numeric a dependency for
4730 4735 IPython.
4731 4736
4732 4737 * Released 0.2.13
4733 4738
4734 4739 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_prun): big overhaul to the
4735 4740 profiler interface. Now all the major options from the profiler
4736 4741 module are directly supported in IPython, both for single
4737 4742 expressions (@prun) and for full programs (@run -p).
4738 4743
4739 4744 2002-05-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4740 4745
4741 4746 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_doc): fixed to show docstrings of
4742 4747 magic properly formatted for screen.
4743 4748
4744 4749 * setup.py (make_shortcut): Changed things to put pdf version in
4745 4750 doc/ instead of doc/manual (had to change lyxport a bit).
4746 4751
4747 4752 * IPython/Magic.py (Profile.string_stats): made profile runs go
4748 4753 through pager (they are long and a pager allows searching, saving,
4749 4754 etc.)
4750 4755
4751 4756 2002-05-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4752 4757
4753 4758 * Released 0.2.12
4754 4759
4755 4760 2002-05-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4756 4761
4757 4762 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_hist): small bug fixed (recently
4758 4763 introduced); 'hist n1 n2' was broken.
4759 4764 (Magic.magic_pdb): added optional on/off arguments to @pdb
4760 4765 (Magic.magic_run): added option -i to @run, which executes code in
4761 4766 the IPython namespace instead of a clean one. Also added @irun as
4762 4767 an alias to @run -i.
4763 4768
4764 4769 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp_set_instance):
4765 4770 fixed (it didn't really do anything, the namespaces were wrong).
4766 4771
4767 4772 * IPython/Debugger.py (__init__): Added workaround for python 2.1
4768 4773
4769 4774 * IPython/__init__.py (__all__): Fixed package namespace, now
4770 4775 'import IPython' does give access to IPython.<all> as
4771 4776 expected. Also renamed __release__ to Release.
4772 4777
4773 4778 * IPython/Debugger.py (__license__): created new Pdb class which
4774 4779 functions like a drop-in for the normal pdb.Pdb but does NOT
4775 4780 import readline by default. This way it doesn't muck up IPython's
4776 4781 readline handling, and now tab-completion finally works in the
4777 4782 debugger -- sort of. It completes things globally visible, but the
4778 4783 completer doesn't track the stack as pdb walks it. That's a bit
4779 4784 tricky, and I'll have to implement it later.
4780 4785
4781 4786 2002-05-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4782 4787
4783 4788 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): fixed formatting bug for
4784 4789 magic docstrings when printed via ? (explicit \'s were being
4785 4790 printed).
4786 4791
4787 4792 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixed namespace
4788 4793 identification bug. Now variables loaded via logs or command-line
4789 4794 files are recognized in the interactive namespace by @who.
4790 4795
4791 4796 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): Fixed bug in
4792 4797 log replay system stemming from the string form of Structs.
4793 4798
4794 4799 * IPython/Magic.py (Macro.__init__): improved macros to properly
4795 4800 handle magic commands in them.
4796 4801 (Magic.magic_logstart): usernames are now expanded so 'logstart
4797 4802 ~/mylog' now works.
4798 4803
4799 4804 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): fixed bug where paths starting with
4800 4805 '/' would be completed as magic names.
4801 4806
4802 4807 2002-05-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4803 4808
4804 4809 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added options -p and -f to
4805 4810 allow running full programs under the profiler's control.
4806 4811
4807 4812 * IPython/ultraTB.py (FormattedTB.__init__): Added Verbose_novars
4808 4813 mode to report exceptions verbosely but without formatting
4809 4814 variables. This addresses the issue of ipython 'freezing' (it's
4810 4815 not frozen, but caught in an expensive formatting loop) when huge
4811 4816 variables are in the context of an exception.
4812 4817 (VerboseTB.text): Added '--->' markers at line where exception was
4813 4818 triggered. Much clearer to read, especially in NoColor modes.
4814 4819
4815 4820 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): bugfix: -n option had been
4816 4821 implemented in reverse when changing to the new parse_options().
4817 4822
4818 4823 2002-05-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4819 4824
4820 4825 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.parse_options): new function so that
4821 4826 magics can parse options easier.
4822 4827 (Magic.magic_prun): new function similar to profile.run(),
4823 4828 suggested by Chris Hart.
4824 4829 (Magic.magic_cd): fixed behavior so that it only changes if
4825 4830 directory actually is in history.
4826 4831
4827 4832 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): added information about potential
4828 4833 slowness of Verbose exception mode when there are huge data
4829 4834 structures to be formatted (thanks to Archie Paulson).
4830 4835
4831 4836 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Changed default logging
4832 4837 (when simply called with -log) to use curr_dir/ipython.log in
4833 4838 rotate mode. Fixed crash which was occuring with -log before
4834 4839 (thanks to Jim Boyle).
4835 4840
4836 4841 2002-05-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4837 4842
4838 4843 * Released 0.2.11 for these fixes (mainly the ultraTB one which
4839 4844 was nasty -- though somewhat of a corner case).
4840 4845
4841 4846 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.text): renamed __text to
4842 4847 text (was a bug).
4843 4848
4844 4849 2002-04-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4845 4850
4846 4851 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py (magic_gp): Minor fix to add
4847 4852 a print after ^D or ^C from the user so that the In[] prompt
4848 4853 doesn't over-run the gnuplot one.
4849 4854
4850 4855 2002-04-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4851 4856
4852 4857 * Released 0.2.10
4853 4858
4854 4859 * IPython/__release__.py (version): get date dynamically.
4855 4860
4856 4861 * Misc. documentation updates thanks to Arnd's comments. Also ran
4857 4862 a full spellcheck on the manual (hadn't been done in a while).
4858 4863
4859 4864 2002-04-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4860 4865
4861 4866 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Fixed bug where
4862 4867 starting a log in mid-session would reset the input history list.
4863 4868
4864 4869 2002-04-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4865 4870
4866 4871 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.wait): Fixed bug where not
4867 4872 all files were being included in an update. Now anything in
4868 4873 UserConfig that matches [A-Za-z]*.py will go (this excludes
4869 4874 __init__.py)
4870 4875
4871 4876 2002-04-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4872 4877
4873 4878 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __IPYTHON__
4874 4879 to __builtins__ so that any form of embedded or imported code can
4875 4880 test for being inside IPython.
4876 4881
4877 4882 * IPython/UserConfig/GnuplotMagic.py: (magic_gp_set_instance):
4878 4883 changed to GnuplotMagic because it's now an importable module,
4879 4884 this makes the name follow that of the standard Gnuplot module.
4880 4885 GnuplotMagic can now be loaded at any time in mid-session.
4881 4886
4882 4887 2002-04-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4883 4888
4884 4889 * IPython/numutils.py: removed SIUnits. It doesn't properly set
4885 4890 the globals (IPython has its own namespace) and the
4886 4891 PhysicalQuantity stuff is much better anyway.
4887 4892
4888 4893 * IPython/UserConfig/example-gnuplot.py (g2): Added gnuplot
4889 4894 embedding example to standard user directory for
4890 4895 distribution. Also put it in the manual.
4891 4896
4892 4897 * IPython/numutils.py (gnuplot_exec): Changed to take a gnuplot
4893 4898 instance as first argument (so it doesn't rely on some obscure
4894 4899 hidden global).
4895 4900
4896 4901 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc.py: put () back in accepted
4897 4902 delimiters. While it prevents ().TAB from working, it allows
4898 4903 completions in open (... expressions. This is by far a more common
4899 4904 case.
4900 4905
4901 4906 2002-04-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4902 4907
4903 4908 * IPython/Extensions/InterpreterPasteInput.py: new
4904 4909 syntax-processing module for pasting lines with >>> or ... at the
4905 4910 start.
4906 4911
4907 4912 * IPython/Extensions/PhysicalQ_Interactive.py
4908 4913 (PhysicalQuantityInteractive.__int__): fixed to work with either
4909 4914 Numeric or math.
4910 4915
4911 4916 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-numeric.py: reorganized the
4912 4917 provided profiles. Now we have:
4913 4918 -math -> math module as * and cmath with its own namespace.
4914 4919 -numeric -> Numeric as *, plus gnuplot & grace
4915 4920 -physics -> same as before
4916 4921
4917 4922 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_magic): Fixed bug where
4918 4923 user-defined magics wouldn't be found by @magic if they were
4919 4924 defined as class methods. Also cleaned up the namespace search
4920 4925 logic and the string building (to use %s instead of many repeated
4921 4926 string adds).
4922 4927
4923 4928 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic.py (magic_foo): updated example
4924 4929 of user-defined magics to operate with class methods (cleaner, in
4925 4930 line with the gnuplot code).
4926 4931
4927 4932 2002-04-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4928 4933
4929 4934 * setup.py: updated dependency list so that manual is updated when
4930 4935 all included files change.
4931 4936
4932 4937 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): Fixed bug which was ignoring
4933 4938 the delimiter removal option (the fix is ugly right now).
4934 4939
4935 4940 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-physics.py: simplified not to load
4936 4941 all of the math profile (quicker loading, no conflict between
4937 4942 g-9.8 and g-gnuplot).
4938 4943
4939 4944 * IPython/CrashHandler.py (CrashHandler.__call__): changed default
4940 4945 name of post-mortem files to IPython_crash_report.txt.
4941 4946
4942 4947 * Cleanup/update of the docs. Added all the new readline info and
4943 4948 formatted all lists as 'real lists'.
4944 4949
4945 4950 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): removed now-obsolete
4946 4951 tab-completion options, since the full readline parse_and_bind is
4947 4952 now accessible.
4948 4953
4949 4954 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Changed
4950 4955 handling of readline options. Now users can specify any string to
4951 4956 be passed to parse_and_bind(), as well as the delimiters to be
4952 4957 removed.
4953 4958 (InteractiveShell.__init__): Added __name__ to the global
4954 4959 namespace so that things like Itpl which rely on its existence
4955 4960 don't crash.
4956 4961 (InteractiveShell._prefilter): Defined the default with a _ so
4957 4962 that prefilter() is easier to override, while the default one
4958 4963 remains available.
4959 4964
4960 4965 2002-04-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4961 4966
4962 4967 * Added information about pdb in the docs.
4963 4968
4964 4969 2002-04-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4965 4970
4966 4971 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added rc_override option to
4967 4972 allow passing config options at creation time which may override
4968 4973 anything set in the config files or command line. This is
4969 4974 particularly useful for configuring embedded instances.
4970 4975
4971 4976 2002-04-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4972 4977
4973 4978 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.log): Fixed a nasty bug which could
4974 4979 crash embedded instances because of the input cache falling out of
4975 4980 sync with the output counter.
4976 4981
4977 4982 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): added a debug
4978 4983 mode which calls pdb after an uncaught exception in IPython itself.
4979 4984
4980 4985 2002-04-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4981 4986
4982 4987 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): pdb mucks up
4983 4988 readline, fix it back after each call.
4984 4989
4985 4990 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__text): made text a private
4986 4991 method to force all access via __call__(), which guarantees that
4987 4992 traceback references are properly deleted.
4988 4993
4989 4994 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): minor fixes to
4990 4995 improve printing when pprint is in use.
4991 4996
4992 4997 2002-04-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
4993 4998
4994 4999 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): SystemExit
4995 5000 exceptions aren't caught anymore. If the user triggers one, he
4996 5001 should know why he's doing it and it should go all the way up,
4997 5002 just like any other exception. So now @abort will fully kill the
4998 5003 embedded interpreter and the embedding code (unless that happens
4999 5004 to catch SystemExit).
5000 5005
5001 5006 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.__init__): added a call_pdb flag
5002 5007 and a debugger() method to invoke the interactive pdb debugger
5003 5008 after printing exception information. Also added the corresponding
5004 5009 -pdb option and @pdb magic to control this feature, and updated
5005 5010 the docs. After a suggestion from Christopher Hart
5006 5011 (hart-AT-caltech.edu).
5007 5012
5008 5013 2002-04-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5009 5014
5010 5015 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): modified to use
5011 5016 the exception handlers defined by the user (not the CrashHandler)
5012 5017 so that user exceptions don't trigger an ipython bug report.
5013 5018
5014 5019 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorTB.__init__): made the color scheme
5015 5020 configurable (it should have always been so).
5016 5021
5017 5022 2002-03-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5018 5023
5019 5024 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): many changes here
5020 5025 and there to fix embedding namespace issues. This should all be
5021 5026 done in a more elegant way.
5022 5027
5023 5028 2002-03-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5024 5029
5025 5030 * IPython/genutils.py (get_home_dir): Try to make it work under
5026 5031 win9x also.
5027 5032
5028 5033 2002-03-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5029 5034
5030 5035 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__init__): leave
5031 5036 sys.displayhook untouched upon __init__.
5032 5037
5033 5038 2002-03-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5034 5039
5035 5040 * Released 0.2.9 (for embedding bug, basically).
5036 5041
5037 5042 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): Trap SystemExit
5038 5043 exceptions so that enclosing shell's state can be restored.
5039 5044
5040 5045 * Changed magic_gnuplot.py to magic-gnuplot.py to standardize
5041 5046 naming conventions in the .ipython/ dir.
5042 5047
5043 5048 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): removed '-'
5044 5049 from delimiters list so filenames with - in them get expanded.
5045 5050
5046 5051 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.__call__): fixed bug with
5047 5052 sys.displayhook not being properly restored after an embedded call.
5048 5053
5049 5054 2002-03-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5050 5055
5051 5056 * Released 0.2.8
5052 5057
5053 5058 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): fixed bug where
5054 5059 some files weren't being included in a -upgrade.
5055 5060 (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Added 'set show-all-if-ambiguous
5056 5061 on' so that the first tab completes.
5057 5062 (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug with spaces around
5058 5063 quotes breaking many magic commands.
5059 5064
5060 5065 * setup.py: added note about ignoring the syntax error messages at
5061 5066 installation.
5062 5067
5063 5068 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py (magic_gp): finished
5064 5069 streamlining the gnuplot interface, now there's only one magic @gp.
5065 5070
5066 5071 2002-03-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5067 5072
5068 5073 * IPython/UserConfig/magic_gnuplot.py: new name for the
5069 5074 example-magic_pm.py file. Much enhanced system, now with a shell
5070 5075 for communicating directly with gnuplot, one command at a time.
5071 5076
5072 5077 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_run): added option -n to prevent
5073 5078 setting __name__=='__main__'.
5074 5079
5075 5080 * IPython/UserConfig/example-magic_pm.py (magic_pm): Added
5076 5081 mini-shell for accessing gnuplot from inside ipython. Should
5077 5082 extend it later for grace access too. Inspired by Arnd's
5078 5083 suggestion.
5079 5084
5080 5085 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.handle_magic): fixed bug when
5081 5086 calling magic functions with () in their arguments. Thanks to Arnd
5082 5087 Baecker for pointing this to me.
5083 5088
5084 5089 * IPython/numutils.py (sum_flat): fixed bug. Would recurse
5085 5090 infinitely for integer or complex arrays (only worked with floats).
5086 5091
5087 5092 2002-03-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5088 5093
5089 5094 * setup.py: Merged setup and setup_windows into a single script
5090 5095 which properly handles things for windows users.
5091 5096
5092 5097 2002-03-15 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5093 5098
5094 5099 * Big change to the manual: now the magics are all automatically
5095 5100 documented. This information is generated from their docstrings
5096 5101 and put in a latex file included by the manual lyx file. This way
5097 5102 we get always up to date information for the magics. The manual
5098 5103 now also has proper version information, also auto-synced.
5099 5104
5100 5105 For this to work, an undocumented --magic_docstrings option was added.
5101 5106
5102 5107 2002-03-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5103 5108
5104 5109 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): fixed problem with dark colors
5105 5110 under CDE terminals. An explicit ;2 color reset is needed in the escapes.
5106 5111
5107 5112 2002-03-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5108 5113
5109 5114 * IPython/ultraTB.py (TermColors): changed color escapes again to
5110 5115 fix the (old, reintroduced) line-wrapping bug. Basically, if
5111 5116 \001..\002 aren't given in the color escapes, lines get wrapped
5112 5117 weirdly. But giving those screws up old xterms and emacs terms. So
5113 5118 I added some logic for emacs terms to be ok, but I can't identify old
5114 5119 xterms separately ($TERM=='xterm' for many terminals, like konsole).
5115 5120
5116 5121 2002-03-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5117 5122
5118 5123 * IPython/usage.py (__doc__): Various documentation cleanups and
5119 5124 updates, both in usage docstrings and in the manual.
5120 5125
5121 5126 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.set_colors): cleanups for
5122 5127 handling of caching. Set minimum acceptabe value for having a
5123 5128 cache at 20 values.
5124 5129
5125 5130 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.user_setup): moved the
5126 5131 install_first_time function to a method, renamed it and added an
5127 5132 'upgrade' mode. Now people can update their config directory with
5128 5133 a simple command line switch (-upgrade, also new).
5129 5134
5130 5135 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_pfile): Made @pfile an alias to
5131 5136 @file (convenient for automagic users under Python >= 2.2).
5132 5137 Removed @files (it seemed more like a plural than an abbrev. of
5133 5138 'file show').
5134 5139
5135 5140 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Fixed crash if there were
5136 5141 backup files ('~') in .ipython/ install directory.
5137 5142
5138 5143 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): fixes for new prompt
5139 5144 system. Things look fine, but these changes are fairly
5140 5145 intrusive. Test them for a few days.
5141 5146
5142 5147 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__init__): Massive rewrite of
5143 5148 the prompts system. Now all in/out prompt strings are user
5144 5149 controllable. This is particularly useful for embedding, as one
5145 5150 can tag embedded instances with particular prompts.
5146 5151
5147 5152 Also removed global use of sys.ps1/2, which now allows nested
5148 5153 embeddings without any problems. Added command-line options for
5149 5154 the prompt strings.
5150 5155
5151 5156 2002-03-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5152 5157
5153 5158 * IPython/UserConfig/example-embed-short.py (ipshell): added
5154 5159 example file with the bare minimum code for embedding.
5155 5160
5156 5161 * IPython/Shell.py (IPythonShellEmbed.set_dummy_mode): added
5157 5162 functionality for the embeddable shell to be activated/deactivated
5158 5163 either globally or at each call.
5159 5164
5160 5165 * IPython/Prompts.py (Prompt1.auto_rewrite): Fixes the problem of
5161 5166 rewriting the prompt with '--->' for auto-inputs with proper
5162 5167 coloring. Now the previous UGLY hack in handle_auto() is gone, and
5163 5168 this is handled by the prompts class itself, as it should.
5164 5169
5165 5170 2002-03-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5166 5171
5167 5172 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_logstart): Changed @log to
5168 5173 @logstart to avoid name clashes with the math log function.
5169 5174
5170 5175 * Big updates to X/Emacs section of the manual.
5171 5176
5172 5177 * Removed ipython_emacs. Milan explained to me how to pass
5173 5178 arguments to ipython through Emacs. Some day I'm going to end up
5174 5179 learning some lisp...
5175 5180
5176 5181 2002-03-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5177 5182
5178 5183 * IPython/ipython_emacs: Created script to be used as the
5179 5184 py-python-command Emacs variable so we can pass IPython
5180 5185 parameters. I can't figure out how to tell Emacs directly to pass
5181 5186 parameters to IPython, so a dummy shell script will do it.
5182 5187
5183 5188 Other enhancements made for things to work better under Emacs'
5184 5189 various types of terminals. Many thanks to Milan Zamazal
5185 5190 <pdm-AT-zamazal.org> for all the suggestions and pointers.
5186 5191
5187 5192 2002-03-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5188 5193
5189 5194 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a --readline! option so
5190 5195 that loading of readline is now optional. This gives better
5191 5196 control to emacs users.
5192 5197
5193 5198 * IPython/ultraTB.py (__date__): Modified color escape sequences
5194 5199 and now things work fine under xterm and in Emacs' term buffers
5195 5200 (though not shell ones). Well, in emacs you get colors, but all
5196 5201 seem to be 'light' colors (no difference between dark and light
5197 5202 ones). But the garbage chars are gone, and also in xterms. It
5198 5203 seems that now I'm using 'cleaner' ansi sequences.
5199 5204
5200 5205 2002-02-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5201 5206
5202 5207 * Released 0.2.7 (mainly to publish the scoping fix).
5203 5208
5204 5209 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.logstate): added. A corresponding
5205 5210 @logstate magic was created.
5206 5211
5207 5212 * IPython/Magic.py: fixed nested scoping problem under Python
5208 5213 2.1.x (automagic wasn't working).
5209 5214
5210 5215 2002-02-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5211 5216
5212 5217 * Released 0.2.6.
5213 5218
5214 5219 * IPython/OutputTrap.py (OutputTrap.__init__): added a 'quiet'
5215 5220 option so that logs can come out without any headers at all.
5216 5221
5217 5222 * IPython/UserConfig/ipythonrc-scipy.py: created a profile for
5218 5223 SciPy.
5219 5224
5220 5225 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.embed_mainloop): Changed so
5221 5226 that embedded IPython calls don't require vars() to be explicitly
5222 5227 passed. Now they are extracted from the caller's frame (code
5223 5228 snatched from Eric Jones' weave). Added better documentation to
5224 5229 the section on embedding and the example file.
5225 5230
5226 5231 * IPython/genutils.py (page): Changed so that under emacs, it just
5227 5232 prints the string. You can then page up and down in the emacs
5228 5233 buffer itself. This is how the builtin help() works.
5229 5234
5230 5235 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput.__call__): Fixed issue with
5231 5236 macro scoping: macros need to be executed in the user's namespace
5232 5237 to work as if they had been typed by the user.
5233 5238
5234 5239 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_macro): Changed macros so they
5235 5240 execute automatically (no need to type 'exec...'). They then
5236 5241 behave like 'true macros'. The printing system was also modified
5237 5242 for this to work.
5238 5243
5239 5244 2002-02-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5240 5245
5241 5246 * IPython/genutils.py (page_file): new function for paging files
5242 5247 in an OS-independent way. Also necessary for file viewing to work
5243 5248 well inside Emacs buffers.
5244 5249 (page): Added checks for being in an emacs buffer.
5245 5250 (page): fixed bug for Windows ($TERM isn't set in Windows). Fixed
5246 5251 same bug in iplib.
5247 5252
5248 5253 2002-02-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5249 5254
5250 5255 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): modified use
5251 5256 of readline so that IPython can work inside an Emacs buffer.
5252 5257
5253 5258 * IPython/ultraTB.py (AutoFormattedTB.__call__): some fixes to
5254 5259 method signatures (they weren't really bugs, but it looks cleaner
5255 5260 and keeps PyChecker happy).
5256 5261
5257 5262 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added hooks Struct to __IP
5258 5263 for implementing various user-defined hooks. Currently only
5259 5264 display is done.
5260 5265
5261 5266 * IPython/Prompts.py (CachedOutput._display): changed display
5262 5267 functions so that they can be dynamically changed by users easily.
5263 5268
5264 5269 * IPython/Extensions/numeric_formats.py (num_display): added an
5265 5270 extension for printing NumPy arrays in flexible manners. It
5266 5271 doesn't do anything yet, but all the structure is in
5267 5272 place. Ultimately the plan is to implement output format control
5268 5273 like in Octave.
5269 5274
5270 5275 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.lsmagic): changed so that bound magic
5271 5276 methods are found at run-time by all the automatic machinery.
5272 5277
5273 5278 2002-02-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5274 5279
5275 5280 * setup_Windows.py (make_shortcut): documented. Cleaned up the
5276 5281 whole file a little.
5277 5282
5278 5283 * ToDo: closed this document. Now there's a new_design.lyx
5279 5284 document for all new ideas. Added making a pdf of it for the
5280 5285 end-user distro.
5281 5286
5282 5287 * IPython/Logger.py (Logger.switch_log): Created this to replace
5283 5288 logon() and logoff(). It also fixes a nasty crash reported by
5284 5289 Philip Hisley <compsys-AT-starpower.net>. Many thanks to him.
5285 5290
5286 5291 * IPython/iplib.py (complete): got auto-completion to work with
5287 5292 automagic (I had wanted this for a long time).
5288 5293
5289 5294 * IPython/Magic.py (Magic.magic_files): Added @files as an alias
5290 5295 to @file, since file() is now a builtin and clashes with automagic
5291 5296 for @file.
5292 5297
5293 5298 * Made some new files: Prompts, CrashHandler, Magic, Logger. All
5294 5299 of this was previously in iplib, which had grown to more than 2000
5295 5300 lines, way too long. No new functionality, but it makes managing
5296 5301 the code a bit easier.
5297 5302
5298 5303 * IPython/iplib.py (IPythonCrashHandler.__call__): Added version
5299 5304 information to crash reports.
5300 5305
5301 5306 2002-02-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5302 5307
5303 5308 * Released 0.2.5.
5304 5309
5305 5310 2002-02-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5306 5311
5307 5312 * Wrote a relatively complete Windows installer. It puts
5308 5313 everything in place, creates Start Menu entries and fixes the
5309 5314 color issues. Nothing fancy, but it works.
5310 5315
5311 5316 2002-02-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5312 5317
5313 5318 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): added an
5314 5319 os.path.expanduser() call so that we can type @run ~/myfile.py and
5315 5320 have thigs work as expected.
5316 5321
5317 5322 * IPython/genutils.py (page): fixed exception handling so things
5318 5323 work both in Unix and Windows correctly. Quitting a pager triggers
5319 5324 an IOError/broken pipe in Unix, and in windows not finding a pager
5320 5325 is also an IOError, so I had to actually look at the return value
5321 5326 of the exception, not just the exception itself. Should be ok now.
5322 5327
5323 5328 * IPython/ultraTB.py (ColorSchemeTable.set_active_scheme):
5324 5329 modified to allow case-insensitive color scheme changes.
5325 5330
5326 5331 2002-02-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5327 5332
5328 5333 * IPython/genutils.py (native_line_ends): new function to leave
5329 5334 user config files with os-native line-endings.
5330 5335
5331 5336 * README and manual updates.
5332 5337
5333 5338 * IPython/genutils.py: fixed unicode bug: use types.StringTypes
5334 5339 instead of StringType to catch Unicode strings.
5335 5340
5336 5341 * IPython/genutils.py (filefind): fixed bug for paths with
5337 5342 embedded spaces (very common in Windows).
5338 5343
5339 5344 * IPython/ipmaker.py (make_IPython): added a '.ini' to the rc
5340 5345 files under Windows, so that they get automatically associated
5341 5346 with a text editor. Windows makes it a pain to handle
5342 5347 extension-less files.
5343 5348
5344 5349 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.init_readline): Made the
5345 5350 warning about readline only occur for Posix. In Windows there's no
5346 5351 way to get readline, so why bother with the warning.
5347 5352
5348 5353 * IPython/Struct.py (Struct.__str__): fixed to use self.__dict__
5349 5354 for __str__ instead of dir(self), since dir() changed in 2.2.
5350 5355
5351 5356 * Ported to Windows! Tested on XP, I suspect it should work fine
5352 5357 on NT/2000, but I don't think it will work on 98 et al. That
5353 5358 series of Windows is such a piece of junk anyway that I won't try
5354 5359 porting it there. The XP port was straightforward, showed a few
5355 5360 bugs here and there (fixed all), in particular some string
5356 5361 handling stuff which required considering Unicode strings (which
5357 5362 Windows uses). This is good, but hasn't been too tested :) No
5358 5363 fancy installer yet, I'll put a note in the manual so people at
5359 5364 least make manually a shortcut.
5360 5365
5361 5366 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_colors): Unified the color options
5362 5367 into a single one, "colors". This now controls both prompt and
5363 5368 exception color schemes, and can be changed both at startup
5364 5369 (either via command-line switches or via ipythonrc files) and at
5365 5370 runtime, with @colors.
5366 5371 (Magic.magic_run): renamed @prun to @run and removed the old
5367 5372 @run. The two were too similar to warrant keeping both.
5368 5373
5369 5374 2002-02-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5370 5375
5371 5376 * IPython/iplib.py (install_first_time): Added comment on how to
5372 5377 configure the color options for first-time users. Put a <return>
5373 5378 request at the end so that small-terminal users get a chance to
5374 5379 read the startup info.
5375 5380
5376 5381 2002-01-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5377 5382
5378 5383 * IPython/iplib.py (CachedOutput.update): Changed output memory
5379 5384 variable names from _o,_oo,_ooo,_o<n> to simply _,__,___,_<n>. For
5380 5385 input history we still use _i. Did this b/c these variable are
5381 5386 very commonly used in interactive work, so the less we need to
5382 5387 type the better off we are.
5383 5388 (Magic.magic_prun): updated @prun to better handle the namespaces
5384 5389 the file will run in, including a fix for __name__ not being set
5385 5390 before.
5386 5391
5387 5392 2002-01-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5388 5393
5389 5394 * IPython/ultraTB.py (VerboseTB.linereader): Fixed printing of
5390 5395 extra garbage for Python 2.2. Need to look more carefully into
5391 5396 this later.
5392 5397
5393 5398 2002-01-19 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5394 5399
5395 5400 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.showtraceback): fixed to
5396 5401 display SyntaxError exceptions properly formatted when they occur
5397 5402 (they can be triggered by imported code).
5398 5403
5399 5404 2002-01-18 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5400 5405
5401 5406 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): now
5402 5407 SyntaxError exceptions are reported nicely formatted, instead of
5403 5408 spitting out only offset information as before.
5404 5409 (Magic.magic_prun): Added the @prun function for executing
5405 5410 programs with command line args inside IPython.
5406 5411
5407 5412 2002-01-16 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5408 5413
5409 5414 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_hist): Changed @hist and @dhist
5410 5415 to *not* include the last item given in a range. This brings their
5411 5416 behavior in line with Python's slicing:
5412 5417 a[n1:n2] -> a[n1]...a[n2-1]
5413 5418 It may be a bit less convenient, but I prefer to stick to Python's
5414 5419 conventions *everywhere*, so users never have to wonder.
5415 5420 (Magic.magic_macro): Added @macro function to ease the creation of
5416 5421 macros.
5417 5422
5418 5423 2002-01-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5419 5424
5420 5425 * Released 0.2.4.
5421 5426
5422 5427 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_pdef):
5423 5428 (InteractiveShell.safe_execfile): report magic lines and error
5424 5429 lines without line numbers so one can easily copy/paste them for
5425 5430 re-execution.
5426 5431
5427 5432 * Updated manual with recent changes.
5428 5433
5429 5434 * IPython/iplib.py (Magic.magic_oinfo): added constructor
5430 5435 docstring printing when class? is called. Very handy for knowing
5431 5436 how to create class instances (as long as __init__ is well
5432 5437 documented, of course :)
5433 5438 (Magic.magic_doc): print both class and constructor docstrings.
5434 5439 (Magic.magic_pdef): give constructor info if passed a class and
5435 5440 __call__ info for callable object instances.
5436 5441
5437 5442 2002-01-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5438 5443
5439 5444 * Made deep_reload() off by default. It doesn't always work
5440 5445 exactly as intended, so it's probably safer to have it off. It's
5441 5446 still available as dreload() anyway, so nothing is lost.
5442 5447
5443 5448 2002-01-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5444 5449
5445 5450 * Released 0.2.3 (contacted R.Singh at CU about biopython course,
5446 5451 so I wanted an updated release).
5447 5452
5448 5453 2001-12-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5449 5454
5450 5455 * IPython/iplib.py (InteractiveShell.interact): Added the original
5451 5456 code from 'code.py' for this module in order to change the
5452 5457 handling of a KeyboardInterrupt. This was necessary b/c otherwise
5453 5458 the history cache would break when the user hit Ctrl-C, and
5454 5459 interact() offers no way to add any hooks to it.
5455 5460
5456 5461 2001-12-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5457 5462
5458 5463 * setup.py: added check for 'MANIFEST' before trying to remove
5459 5464 it. Thanks to Sean Reifschneider.
5460 5465
5461 5466 2001-12-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5462 5467
5463 5468 * Released 0.2.2.
5464 5469
5465 5470 * Finished (reasonably) writing the manual. Later will add the
5466 5471 python-standard navigation stylesheets, but for the time being
5467 5472 it's fairly complete. Distribution will include html and pdf
5468 5473 versions.
5469 5474
5470 5475 * Bugfix: '.' wasn't being added to sys.path. Thanks to Prabhu
5471 5476 (MayaVi author).
5472 5477
5473 5478 2001-12-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5474 5479
5475 5480 * Released 0.2.1. Barring any nasty bugs, this is it as far as a
5476 5481 good public release, I think (with the manual and the distutils
5477 5482 installer). The manual can use some work, but that can go
5478 5483 slowly. Otherwise I think it's quite nice for end users. Next
5479 5484 summer, rewrite the guts of it...
5480 5485
5481 5486 * Changed format of ipythonrc files to use whitespace as the
5482 5487 separator instead of an explicit '='. Cleaner.
5483 5488
5484 5489 2001-12-20 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5485 5490
5486 5491 * Started a manual in LyX. For now it's just a quick merge of the
5487 5492 various internal docstrings and READMEs. Later it may grow into a
5488 5493 nice, full-blown manual.
5489 5494
5490 5495 * Set up a distutils based installer. Installation should now be
5491 5496 trivially simple for end-users.
5492 5497
5493 5498 2001-12-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5494 5499
5495 5500 * Released 0.2.0. First public release, announced it at
5496 5501 comp.lang.python. From now on, just bugfixes...
5497 5502
5498 5503 * Went through all the files, set copyright/license notices and
5499 5504 cleaned up things. Ready for release.
5500 5505
5501 5506 2001-12-10 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5502 5507
5503 5508 * Changed the first-time installer not to use tarfiles. It's more
5504 5509 robust now and less unix-dependent. Also makes it easier for
5505 5510 people to later upgrade versions.
5506 5511
5507 5512 * Changed @exit to @abort to reflect the fact that it's pretty
5508 5513 brutal (a sys.exit()). The difference between @abort and Ctrl-D
5509 5514 becomes significant only when IPyhton is embedded: in that case,
5510 5515 C-D closes IPython only, but @abort kills the enclosing program
5511 5516 too (unless it had called IPython inside a try catching
5512 5517 SystemExit).
5513 5518
5514 5519 * Created Shell module which exposes the actuall IPython Shell
5515 5520 classes, currently the normal and the embeddable one. This at
5516 5521 least offers a stable interface we won't need to change when
5517 5522 (later) the internals are rewritten. That rewrite will be confined
5518 5523 to iplib and ipmaker, but the Shell interface should remain as is.
5519 5524
5520 5525 * Added embed module which offers an embeddable IPShell object,
5521 5526 useful to fire up IPython *inside* a running program. Great for
5522 5527 debugging or dynamical data analysis.
5523 5528
5524 5529 2001-12-08 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5525 5530
5526 5531 * Fixed small bug preventing seeing info from methods of defined
5527 5532 objects (incorrect namespace in _ofind()).
5528 5533
5529 5534 * Documentation cleanup. Moved the main usage docstrings to a
5530 5535 separate file, usage.py (cleaner to maintain, and hopefully in the
5531 5536 future some perlpod-like way of producing interactive, man and
5532 5537 html docs out of it will be found).
5533 5538
5534 5539 * Added @profile to see your profile at any time.
5535 5540
5536 5541 * Added @p as an alias for 'print'. It's especially convenient if
5537 5542 using automagic ('p x' prints x).
5538 5543
5539 5544 * Small cleanups and fixes after a pychecker run.
5540 5545
5541 5546 * Changed the @cd command to handle @cd - and @cd -<n> for
5542 5547 visiting any directory in _dh.
5543 5548
5544 5549 * Introduced _dh, a history of visited directories. @dhist prints
5545 5550 it out with numbers.
5546 5551
5547 5552 2001-12-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5548 5553
5549 5554 * Released 0.1.22
5550 5555
5551 5556 * Made initialization a bit more robust against invalid color
5552 5557 options in user input (exit, not traceback-crash).
5553 5558
5554 5559 * Changed the bug crash reporter to write the report only in the
5555 5560 user's .ipython directory. That way IPython won't litter people's
5556 5561 hard disks with crash files all over the place. Also print on
5557 5562 screen the necessary mail command.
5558 5563
5559 5564 * With the new ultraTB, implemented LightBG color scheme for light
5560 5565 background terminals. A lot of people like white backgrounds, so I
5561 5566 guess we should at least give them something readable.
5562 5567
5563 5568 2001-12-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5564 5569
5565 5570 * Modified the structure of ultraTB. Now there's a proper class
5566 5571 for tables of color schemes which allow adding schemes easily and
5567 5572 switching the active scheme without creating a new instance every
5568 5573 time (which was ridiculous). The syntax for creating new schemes
5569 5574 is also cleaner. I think ultraTB is finally done, with a clean
5570 5575 class structure. Names are also much cleaner (now there's proper
5571 5576 color tables, no need for every variable to also have 'color' in
5572 5577 its name).
5573 5578
5574 5579 * Broke down genutils into separate files. Now genutils only
5575 5580 contains utility functions, and classes have been moved to their
5576 5581 own files (they had enough independent functionality to warrant
5577 5582 it): ConfigLoader, OutputTrap, Struct.
5578 5583
5579 5584 2001-12-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5580 5585
5581 5586 * IPython turns 21! Released version 0.1.21, as a candidate for
5582 5587 public consumption. If all goes well, release in a few days.
5583 5588
5584 5589 * Fixed path bug (files in Extensions/ directory wouldn't be found
5585 5590 unless IPython/ was explicitly in sys.path).
5586 5591
5587 5592 * Extended the FlexCompleter class as MagicCompleter to allow
5588 5593 completion of @-starting lines.
5589 5594
5590 5595 * Created __release__.py file as a central repository for release
5591 5596 info that other files can read from.
5592 5597
5593 5598 * Fixed small bug in logging: when logging was turned on in
5594 5599 mid-session, old lines with special meanings (!@?) were being
5595 5600 logged without the prepended comment, which is necessary since
5596 5601 they are not truly valid python syntax. This should make session
5597 5602 restores produce less errors.
5598 5603
5599 5604 * The namespace cleanup forced me to make a FlexCompleter class
5600 5605 which is nothing but a ripoff of rlcompleter, but with selectable
5601 5606 namespace (rlcompleter only works in __main__.__dict__). I'll try
5602 5607 to submit a note to the authors to see if this change can be
5603 5608 incorporated in future rlcompleter releases (Dec.6: done)
5604 5609
5605 5610 * More fixes to namespace handling. It was a mess! Now all
5606 5611 explicit references to __main__.__dict__ are gone (except when
5607 5612 really needed) and everything is handled through the namespace
5608 5613 dicts in the IPython instance. We seem to be getting somewhere
5609 5614 with this, finally...
5610 5615
5611 5616 * Small documentation updates.
5612 5617
5613 5618 * Created the Extensions directory under IPython (with an
5614 5619 __init__.py). Put the PhysicalQ stuff there. This directory should
5615 5620 be used for all special-purpose extensions.
5616 5621
5617 5622 * File renaming:
5618 5623 ipythonlib --> ipmaker
5619 5624 ipplib --> iplib
5620 5625 This makes a bit more sense in terms of what these files actually do.
5621 5626
5622 5627 * Moved all the classes and functions in ipythonlib to ipplib, so
5623 5628 now ipythonlib only has make_IPython(). This will ease up its
5624 5629 splitting in smaller functional chunks later.
5625 5630
5626 5631 * Cleaned up (done, I think) output of @whos. Better column
5627 5632 formatting, and now shows str(var) for as much as it can, which is
5628 5633 typically what one gets with a 'print var'.
5629 5634
5630 5635 2001-12-04 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5631 5636
5632 5637 * Fixed namespace problems. Now builtin/IPyhton/user names get
5633 5638 properly reported in their namespace. Internal namespace handling
5634 5639 is finally getting decent (not perfect yet, but much better than
5635 5640 the ad-hoc mess we had).
5636 5641
5637 5642 * Removed -exit option. If people just want to run a python
5638 5643 script, that's what the normal interpreter is for. Less
5639 5644 unnecessary options, less chances for bugs.
5640 5645
5641 5646 * Added a crash handler which generates a complete post-mortem if
5642 5647 IPython crashes. This will help a lot in tracking bugs down the
5643 5648 road.
5644 5649
5645 5650 * Fixed nasty bug in auto-evaluation part of prefilter(). Names
5646 5651 which were boud to functions being reassigned would bypass the
5647 5652 logger, breaking the sync of _il with the prompt counter. This
5648 5653 would then crash IPython later when a new line was logged.
5649 5654
5650 5655 2001-12-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5651 5656
5652 5657 * Made IPython a package. This means people don't have to clutter
5653 5658 their sys.path with yet another directory. Changed the INSTALL
5654 5659 file accordingly.
5655 5660
5656 5661 * Cleaned up the output of @who_ls, @who and @whos. @who_ls now
5657 5662 sorts its output (so @who shows it sorted) and @whos formats the
5658 5663 table according to the width of the first column. Nicer, easier to
5659 5664 read. Todo: write a generic table_format() which takes a list of
5660 5665 lists and prints it nicely formatted, with optional row/column
5661 5666 separators and proper padding and justification.
5662 5667
5663 5668 * Released 0.1.20
5664 5669
5665 5670 * Fixed bug in @log which would reverse the inputcache list (a
5666 5671 copy operation was missing).
5667 5672
5668 5673 * Code cleanup. @config was changed to use page(). Better, since
5669 5674 its output is always quite long.
5670 5675
5671 5676 * Itpl is back as a dependency. I was having too many problems
5672 5677 getting the parametric aliases to work reliably, and it's just
5673 5678 easier to code weird string operations with it than playing %()s
5674 5679 games. It's only ~6k, so I don't think it's too big a deal.
5675 5680
5676 5681 * Found (and fixed) a very nasty bug with history. !lines weren't
5677 5682 getting cached, and the out of sync caches would crash
5678 5683 IPython. Fixed it by reorganizing the prefilter/handlers/logger
5679 5684 division of labor a bit better. Bug fixed, cleaner structure.
5680 5685
5681 5686 2001-12-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5682 5687
5683 5688 * Released 0.1.19
5684 5689
5685 5690 * Added option -n to @hist to prevent line number printing. Much
5686 5691 easier to copy/paste code this way.
5687 5692
5688 5693 * Created global _il to hold the input list. Allows easy
5689 5694 re-execution of blocks of code by slicing it (inspired by Janko's
5690 5695 comment on 'macros').
5691 5696
5692 5697 * Small fixes and doc updates.
5693 5698
5694 5699 * Rewrote @history function (was @h). Renamed it to @hist, @h is
5695 5700 much too fragile with automagic. Handles properly multi-line
5696 5701 statements and takes parameters.
5697 5702
5698 5703 2001-11-30 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5699 5704
5700 5705 * Version 0.1.18 released.
5701 5706
5702 5707 * Fixed nasty namespace bug in initial module imports.
5703 5708
5704 5709 * Added copyright/license notes to all code files (except
5705 5710 DPyGetOpt). For the time being, LGPL. That could change.
5706 5711
5707 5712 * Rewrote a much nicer README, updated INSTALL, cleaned up
5708 5713 ipythonrc-* samples.
5709 5714
5710 5715 * Overall code/documentation cleanup. Basically ready for
5711 5716 release. Only remaining thing: licence decision (LGPL?).
5712 5717
5713 5718 * Converted load_config to a class, ConfigLoader. Now recursion
5714 5719 control is better organized. Doesn't include the same file twice.
5715 5720
5716 5721 2001-11-29 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5717 5722
5718 5723 * Got input history working. Changed output history variables from
5719 5724 _p to _o so that _i is for input and _o for output. Just cleaner
5720 5725 convention.
5721 5726
5722 5727 * Implemented parametric aliases. This pretty much allows the
5723 5728 alias system to offer full-blown shell convenience, I think.
5724 5729
5725 5730 * Version 0.1.17 released, 0.1.18 opened.
5726 5731
5727 5732 * dot_ipython/ipythonrc (alias): added documentation.
5728 5733 (xcolor): Fixed small bug (xcolors -> xcolor)
5729 5734
5730 5735 * Changed the alias system. Now alias is a magic command to define
5731 5736 aliases just like the shell. Rationale: the builtin magics should
5732 5737 be there for things deeply connected to IPython's
5733 5738 architecture. And this is a much lighter system for what I think
5734 5739 is the really important feature: allowing users to define quickly
5735 5740 magics that will do shell things for them, so they can customize
5736 5741 IPython easily to match their work habits. If someone is really
5737 5742 desperate to have another name for a builtin alias, they can
5738 5743 always use __IP.magic_newname = __IP.magic_oldname. Hackish but
5739 5744 works.
5740 5745
5741 5746 2001-11-28 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5742 5747
5743 5748 * Changed @file so that it opens the source file at the proper
5744 5749 line. Since it uses less, if your EDITOR environment is
5745 5750 configured, typing v will immediately open your editor of choice
5746 5751 right at the line where the object is defined. Not as quick as
5747 5752 having a direct @edit command, but for all intents and purposes it
5748 5753 works. And I don't have to worry about writing @edit to deal with
5749 5754 all the editors, less does that.
5750 5755
5751 5756 * Version 0.1.16 released, 0.1.17 opened.
5752 5757
5753 5758 * Fixed some nasty bugs in the page/page_dumb combo that could
5754 5759 crash IPython.
5755 5760
5756 5761 2001-11-27 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5757 5762
5758 5763 * Version 0.1.15 released, 0.1.16 opened.
5759 5764
5760 5765 * Finally got ? and ?? to work for undefined things: now it's
5761 5766 possible to type {}.get? and get information about the get method
5762 5767 of dicts, or os.path? even if only os is defined (so technically
5763 5768 os.path isn't). Works at any level. For example, after import os,
5764 5769 os?, os.path?, os.path.abspath? all work. This is great, took some
5765 5770 work in _ofind.
5766 5771
5767 5772 * Fixed more bugs with logging. The sanest way to do it was to add
5768 5773 to @log a 'mode' parameter. Killed two in one shot (this mode
5769 5774 option was a request of Janko's). I think it's finally clean
5770 5775 (famous last words).
5771 5776
5772 5777 * Added a page_dumb() pager which does a decent job of paging on
5773 5778 screen, if better things (like less) aren't available. One less
5774 5779 unix dependency (someday maybe somebody will port this to
5775 5780 windows).
5776 5781
5777 5782 * Fixed problem in magic_log: would lock of logging out if log
5778 5783 creation failed (because it would still think it had succeeded).
5779 5784
5780 5785 * Improved the page() function using curses to auto-detect screen
5781 5786 size. Now it can make a much better decision on whether to print
5782 5787 or page a string. Option screen_length was modified: a value 0
5783 5788 means auto-detect, and that's the default now.
5784 5789
5785 5790 * Version 0.1.14 released, 0.1.15 opened. I think this is ready to
5786 5791 go out. I'll test it for a few days, then talk to Janko about
5787 5792 licences and announce it.
5788 5793
5789 5794 * Fixed the length of the auto-generated ---> prompt which appears
5790 5795 for auto-parens and auto-quotes. Getting this right isn't trivial,
5791 5796 with all the color escapes, different prompt types and optional
5792 5797 separators. But it seems to be working in all the combinations.
5793 5798
5794 5799 2001-11-26 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5795 5800
5796 5801 * Wrote a regexp filter to get option types from the option names
5797 5802 string. This eliminates the need to manually keep two duplicate
5798 5803 lists.
5799 5804
5800 5805 * Removed the unneeded check_option_names. Now options are handled
5801 5806 in a much saner manner and it's easy to visually check that things
5802 5807 are ok.
5803 5808
5804 5809 * Updated version numbers on all files I modified to carry a
5805 5810 notice so Janko and Nathan have clear version markers.
5806 5811
5807 5812 * Updated docstring for ultraTB with my changes. I should send
5808 5813 this to Nathan.
5809 5814
5810 5815 * Lots of small fixes. Ran everything through pychecker again.
5811 5816
5812 5817 * Made loading of deep_reload an cmd line option. If it's not too
5813 5818 kosher, now people can just disable it. With -nodeep_reload it's
5814 5819 still available as dreload(), it just won't overwrite reload().
5815 5820
5816 5821 * Moved many options to the no| form (-opt and -noopt
5817 5822 accepted). Cleaner.
5818 5823
5819 5824 * Changed magic_log so that if called with no parameters, it uses
5820 5825 'rotate' mode. That way auto-generated logs aren't automatically
5821 5826 over-written. For normal logs, now a backup is made if it exists
5822 5827 (only 1 level of backups). A new 'backup' mode was added to the
5823 5828 Logger class to support this. This was a request by Janko.
5824 5829
5825 5830 * Added @logoff/@logon to stop/restart an active log.
5826 5831
5827 5832 * Fixed a lot of bugs in log saving/replay. It was pretty
5828 5833 broken. Now special lines (!@,/) appear properly in the command
5829 5834 history after a log replay.
5830 5835
5831 5836 * Tried and failed to implement full session saving via pickle. My
5832 5837 idea was to pickle __main__.__dict__, but modules can't be
5833 5838 pickled. This would be a better alternative to replaying logs, but
5834 5839 seems quite tricky to get to work. Changed -session to be called
5835 5840 -logplay, which more accurately reflects what it does. And if we
5836 5841 ever get real session saving working, -session is now available.
5837 5842
5838 5843 * Implemented color schemes for prompts also. As for tracebacks,
5839 5844 currently only NoColor and Linux are supported. But now the
5840 5845 infrastructure is in place, based on a generic ColorScheme
5841 5846 class. So writing and activating new schemes both for the prompts
5842 5847 and the tracebacks should be straightforward.
5843 5848
5844 5849 * Version 0.1.13 released, 0.1.14 opened.
5845 5850
5846 5851 * Changed handling of options for output cache. Now counter is
5847 5852 hardwired starting at 1 and one specifies the maximum number of
5848 5853 entries *in the outcache* (not the max prompt counter). This is
5849 5854 much better, since many statements won't increase the cache
5850 5855 count. It also eliminated some confusing options, now there's only
5851 5856 one: cache_size.
5852 5857
5853 5858 * Added 'alias' magic function and magic_alias option in the
5854 5859 ipythonrc file. Now the user can easily define whatever names he
5855 5860 wants for the magic functions without having to play weird
5856 5861 namespace games. This gives IPython a real shell-like feel.
5857 5862
5858 5863 * Fixed doc/?/?? for magics. Now all work, in all forms (explicit
5859 5864 @ or not).
5860 5865
5861 5866 This was one of the last remaining 'visible' bugs (that I know
5862 5867 of). I think if I can clean up the session loading so it works
5863 5868 100% I'll release a 0.2.0 version on c.p.l (talk to Janko first
5864 5869 about licensing).
5865 5870
5866 5871 2001-11-25 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5867 5872
5868 5873 * Rewrote somewhat oinfo (?/??). Nicer, now uses page() and
5869 5874 there's a cleaner distinction between what ? and ?? show.
5870 5875
5871 5876 * Added screen_length option. Now the user can define his own
5872 5877 screen size for page() operations.
5873 5878
5874 5879 * Implemented magic shell-like functions with automatic code
5875 5880 generation. Now adding another function is just a matter of adding
5876 5881 an entry to a dict, and the function is dynamically generated at
5877 5882 run-time. Python has some really cool features!
5878 5883
5879 5884 * Renamed many options to cleanup conventions a little. Now all
5880 5885 are lowercase, and only underscores where needed. Also in the code
5881 5886 option name tables are clearer.
5882 5887
5883 5888 * Changed prompts a little. Now input is 'In [n]:' instead of
5884 5889 'In[n]:='. This allows it the numbers to be aligned with the
5885 5890 Out[n] numbers, and removes usage of ':=' which doesn't exist in
5886 5891 Python (it was a Mathematica thing). The '...' continuation prompt
5887 5892 was also changed a little to align better.
5888 5893
5889 5894 * Fixed bug when flushing output cache. Not all _p<n> variables
5890 5895 exist, so their deletion needs to be wrapped in a try:
5891 5896
5892 5897 * Figured out how to properly use inspect.formatargspec() (it
5893 5898 requires the args preceded by *). So I removed all the code from
5894 5899 _get_pdef in Magic, which was just replicating that.
5895 5900
5896 5901 * Added test to prefilter to allow redefining magic function names
5897 5902 as variables. This is ok, since the @ form is always available,
5898 5903 but whe should allow the user to define a variable called 'ls' if
5899 5904 he needs it.
5900 5905
5901 5906 * Moved the ToDo information from README into a separate ToDo.
5902 5907
5903 5908 * General code cleanup and small bugfixes. I think it's close to a
5904 5909 state where it can be released, obviously with a big 'beta'
5905 5910 warning on it.
5906 5911
5907 5912 * Got the magic function split to work. Now all magics are defined
5908 5913 in a separate class. It just organizes things a bit, and now
5909 5914 Xemacs behaves nicer (it was choking on InteractiveShell b/c it
5910 5915 was too long).
5911 5916
5912 5917 * Changed @clear to @reset to avoid potential confusions with
5913 5918 the shell command clear. Also renamed @cl to @clear, which does
5914 5919 exactly what people expect it to from their shell experience.
5915 5920
5916 5921 Added a check to the @reset command (since it's so
5917 5922 destructive, it's probably a good idea to ask for confirmation).
5918 5923 But now reset only works for full namespace resetting. Since the
5919 5924 del keyword is already there for deleting a few specific
5920 5925 variables, I don't see the point of having a redundant magic
5921 5926 function for the same task.
5922 5927
5923 5928 2001-11-24 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5924 5929
5925 5930 * Updated the builtin docs (esp. the ? ones).
5926 5931
5927 5932 * Ran all the code through pychecker. Not terribly impressed with
5928 5933 it: lots of spurious warnings and didn't really find anything of
5929 5934 substance (just a few modules being imported and not used).
5930 5935
5931 5936 * Implemented the new ultraTB functionality into IPython. New
5932 5937 option: xcolors. This chooses color scheme. xmode now only selects
5933 5938 between Plain and Verbose. Better orthogonality.
5934 5939
5935 5940 * Large rewrite of ultraTB. Much cleaner now, with a separation of
5936 5941 mode and color scheme for the exception handlers. Now it's
5937 5942 possible to have the verbose traceback with no coloring.
5938 5943
5939 5944 2001-11-23 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5940 5945
5941 5946 * Version 0.1.12 released, 0.1.13 opened.
5942 5947
5943 5948 * Removed option to set auto-quote and auto-paren escapes by
5944 5949 user. The chances of breaking valid syntax are just too high. If
5945 5950 someone *really* wants, they can always dig into the code.
5946 5951
5947 5952 * Made prompt separators configurable.
5948 5953
5949 5954 2001-11-22 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5950 5955
5951 5956 * Small bugfixes in many places.
5952 5957
5953 5958 * Removed the MyCompleter class from ipplib. It seemed redundant
5954 5959 with the C-p,C-n history search functionality. Less code to
5955 5960 maintain.
5956 5961
5957 5962 * Moved all the original ipython.py code into ipythonlib.py. Right
5958 5963 now it's just one big dump into a function called make_IPython, so
5959 5964 no real modularity has been gained. But at least it makes the
5960 5965 wrapper script tiny, and since ipythonlib is a module, it gets
5961 5966 compiled and startup is much faster.
5962 5967
5963 5968 This is a reasobably 'deep' change, so we should test it for a
5964 5969 while without messing too much more with the code.
5965 5970
5966 5971 2001-11-21 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5967 5972
5968 5973 * Version 0.1.11 released, 0.1.12 opened for further work.
5969 5974
5970 5975 * Removed dependency on Itpl. It was only needed in one place. It
5971 5976 would be nice if this became part of python, though. It makes life
5972 5977 *a lot* easier in some cases.
5973 5978
5974 5979 * Simplified the prefilter code a bit. Now all handlers are
5975 5980 expected to explicitly return a value (at least a blank string).
5976 5981
5977 5982 * Heavy edits in ipplib. Removed the help system altogether. Now
5978 5983 obj?/?? is used for inspecting objects, a magic @doc prints
5979 5984 docstrings, and full-blown Python help is accessed via the 'help'
5980 5985 keyword. This cleans up a lot of code (less to maintain) and does
5981 5986 the job. Since 'help' is now a standard Python component, might as
5982 5987 well use it and remove duplicate functionality.
5983 5988
5984 5989 Also removed the option to use ipplib as a standalone program. By
5985 5990 now it's too dependent on other parts of IPython to function alone.
5986 5991
5987 5992 * Fixed bug in genutils.pager. It would crash if the pager was
5988 5993 exited immediately after opening (broken pipe).
5989 5994
5990 5995 * Trimmed down the VerboseTB reporting a little. The header is
5991 5996 much shorter now and the repeated exception arguments at the end
5992 5997 have been removed. For interactive use the old header seemed a bit
5993 5998 excessive.
5994 5999
5995 6000 * Fixed small bug in output of @whos for variables with multi-word
5996 6001 types (only first word was displayed).
5997 6002
5998 6003 2001-11-17 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
5999 6004
6000 6005 * Version 0.1.10 released, 0.1.11 opened for further work.
6001 6006
6002 6007 * Modified dirs and friends. dirs now *returns* the stack (not
6003 6008 prints), so one can manipulate it as a variable. Convenient to
6004 6009 travel along many directories.
6005 6010
6006 6011 * Fixed bug in magic_pdef: would only work with functions with
6007 6012 arguments with default values.
6008 6013
6009 6014 2001-11-14 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6010 6015
6011 6016 * Added the PhysicsInput stuff to dot_ipython so it ships as an
6012 6017 example with IPython. Various other minor fixes and cleanups.
6013 6018
6014 6019 * Version 0.1.9 released, 0.1.10 opened for further work.
6015 6020
6016 6021 * Added sys.path to the list of directories searched in the
6017 6022 execfile= option. It used to be the current directory and the
6018 6023 user's IPYTHONDIR only.
6019 6024
6020 6025 2001-11-13 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6021 6026
6022 6027 * Reinstated the raw_input/prefilter separation that Janko had
6023 6028 initially. This gives a more convenient setup for extending the
6024 6029 pre-processor from the outside: raw_input always gets a string,
6025 6030 and prefilter has to process it. We can then redefine prefilter
6026 6031 from the outside and implement extensions for special
6027 6032 purposes.
6028 6033
6029 6034 Today I got one for inputting PhysicalQuantity objects
6030 6035 (from Scientific) without needing any function calls at
6031 6036 all. Extremely convenient, and it's all done as a user-level
6032 6037 extension (no IPython code was touched). Now instead of:
6033 6038 a = PhysicalQuantity(4.2,'m/s**2')
6034 6039 one can simply say
6035 6040 a = 4.2 m/s**2
6036 6041 or even
6037 6042 a = 4.2 m/s^2
6038 6043
6039 6044 I use this, but it's also a proof of concept: IPython really is
6040 6045 fully user-extensible, even at the level of the parsing of the
6041 6046 command line. It's not trivial, but it's perfectly doable.
6042 6047
6043 6048 * Added 'add_flip' method to inclusion conflict resolver. Fixes
6044 6049 the problem of modules being loaded in the inverse order in which
6045 6050 they were defined in
6046 6051
6047 6052 * Version 0.1.8 released, 0.1.9 opened for further work.
6048 6053
6049 6054 * Added magics pdef, source and file. They respectively show the
6050 6055 definition line ('prototype' in C), source code and full python
6051 6056 file for any callable object. The object inspector oinfo uses
6052 6057 these to show the same information.
6053 6058
6054 6059 * Version 0.1.7 released, 0.1.8 opened for further work.
6055 6060
6056 6061 * Separated all the magic functions into a class called Magic. The
6057 6062 InteractiveShell class was becoming too big for Xemacs to handle
6058 6063 (de-indenting a line would lock it up for 10 seconds while it
6059 6064 backtracked on the whole class!)
6060 6065
6061 6066 FIXME: didn't work. It can be done, but right now namespaces are
6062 6067 all messed up. Do it later (reverted it for now, so at least
6063 6068 everything works as before).
6064 6069
6065 6070 * Got the object introspection system (magic_oinfo) working! I
6066 6071 think this is pretty much ready for release to Janko, so he can
6067 6072 test it for a while and then announce it. Pretty much 100% of what
6068 6073 I wanted for the 'phase 1' release is ready. Happy, tired.
6069 6074
6070 6075 2001-11-12 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6071 6076
6072 6077 * Version 0.1.6 released, 0.1.7 opened for further work.
6073 6078
6074 6079 * Fixed bug in printing: it used to test for truth before
6075 6080 printing, so 0 wouldn't print. Now checks for None.
6076 6081
6077 6082 * Fixed bug where auto-execs increase the prompt counter by 2 (b/c
6078 6083 they have to call len(str(sys.ps1)) ). But the fix is ugly, it
6079 6084 reaches by hand into the outputcache. Think of a better way to do
6080 6085 this later.
6081 6086
6082 6087 * Various small fixes thanks to Nathan's comments.
6083 6088
6084 6089 * Changed magic_pprint to magic_Pprint. This way it doesn't
6085 6090 collide with pprint() and the name is consistent with the command
6086 6091 line option.
6087 6092
6088 6093 * Changed prompt counter behavior to be fully like
6089 6094 Mathematica's. That is, even input that doesn't return a result
6090 6095 raises the prompt counter. The old behavior was kind of confusing
6091 6096 (getting the same prompt number several times if the operation
6092 6097 didn't return a result).
6093 6098
6094 6099 * Fixed Nathan's last name in a couple of places (Gray, not Graham).
6095 6100
6096 6101 * Fixed -Classic mode (wasn't working anymore).
6097 6102
6098 6103 * Added colored prompts using Nathan's new code. Colors are
6099 6104 currently hardwired, they can be user-configurable. For
6100 6105 developers, they can be chosen in file ipythonlib.py, at the
6101 6106 beginning of the CachedOutput class def.
6102 6107
6103 6108 2001-11-11 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6104 6109
6105 6110 * Version 0.1.5 released, 0.1.6 opened for further work.
6106 6111
6107 6112 * Changed magic_env to *return* the environment as a dict (not to
6108 6113 print it). This way it prints, but it can also be processed.
6109 6114
6110 6115 * Added Verbose exception reporting to interactive
6111 6116 exceptions. Very nice, now even 1/0 at the prompt gives a verbose
6112 6117 traceback. Had to make some changes to the ultraTB file. This is
6113 6118 probably the last 'big' thing in my mental todo list. This ties
6114 6119 in with the next entry:
6115 6120
6116 6121 * Changed -Xi and -Xf to a single -xmode option. Now all the user
6117 6122 has to specify is Plain, Color or Verbose for all exception
6118 6123 handling.
6119 6124
6120 6125 * Removed ShellServices option. All this can really be done via
6121 6126 the magic system. It's easier to extend, cleaner and has automatic
6122 6127 namespace protection and documentation.
6123 6128
6124 6129 2001-11-09 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6125 6130
6126 6131 * Fixed bug in output cache flushing (missing parameter to
6127 6132 __init__). Other small bugs fixed (found using pychecker).
6128 6133
6129 6134 * Version 0.1.4 opened for bugfixing.
6130 6135
6131 6136 2001-11-07 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6132 6137
6133 6138 * Version 0.1.3 released, mainly because of the raw_input bug.
6134 6139
6135 6140 * Fixed NASTY bug in raw_input: input line wasn't properly parsed
6136 6141 and when testing for whether things were callable, a call could
6137 6142 actually be made to certain functions. They would get called again
6138 6143 once 'really' executed, with a resulting double call. A disaster
6139 6144 in many cases (list.reverse() would never work!).
6140 6145
6141 6146 * Removed prefilter() function, moved its code to raw_input (which
6142 6147 after all was just a near-empty caller for prefilter). This saves
6143 6148 a function call on every prompt, and simplifies the class a tiny bit.
6144 6149
6145 6150 * Fix _ip to __ip name in magic example file.
6146 6151
6147 6152 * Changed 'tar -x -f' to 'tar xvf' in auto-installer. This should
6148 6153 work with non-gnu versions of tar.
6149 6154
6150 6155 2001-11-06 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6151 6156
6152 6157 * Version 0.1.2. Just to keep track of the recent changes.
6153 6158
6154 6159 * Fixed nasty bug in output prompt routine. It used to check 'if
6155 6160 arg != None...'. Problem is, this fails if arg implements a
6156 6161 special comparison (__cmp__) which disallows comparing to
6157 6162 None. Found it when trying to use the PhysicalQuantity module from
6158 6163 ScientificPython.
6159 6164
6160 6165 2001-11-05 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6161 6166
6162 6167 * Also added dirs. Now the pushd/popd/dirs family functions
6163 6168 basically like the shell, with the added convenience of going home
6164 6169 when called with no args.
6165 6170
6166 6171 * pushd/popd slightly modified to mimic shell behavior more
6167 6172 closely.
6168 6173
6169 6174 * Added env,pushd,popd from ShellServices as magic functions. I
6170 6175 think the cleanest will be to port all desired functions from
6171 6176 ShellServices as magics and remove ShellServices altogether. This
6172 6177 will provide a single, clean way of adding functionality
6173 6178 (shell-type or otherwise) to IP.

6176 6181
6177 6182 * Added .ipython/ directory to sys.path. This way users can keep
6178 6183 customizations there and access them via import.
6179 6184
6180 6185 2001-11-03 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6181 6186
6182 6187 * Opened version 0.1.1 for new changes.
6183 6188
6184 6189 * Changed version number to 0.1.0: first 'public' release, sent to
6185 6190 Nathan and Janko.
6186 6191
6187 6192 * Lots of small fixes and tweaks.
6188 6193
6189 6194 * Minor changes to whos format. Now strings are shown, snipped if
6190 6195 too long.
6191 6196
6192 6197 * Changed ShellServices to work on __main__ so they show up in @who
6193 6198
6194 6199 * Help also works with ? at the end of a line:
6195 6200 ?sin and sin?
6196 6201 both produce the same effect. This is nice, as often I use the
6197 6202 tab-complete to find the name of a method, but I used to then have
6198 6203 to go to the beginning of the line to put a ? if I wanted more
6199 6204 info. Now I can just add the ? and hit return. Convenient.
6200 6205
6201 6206 2001-11-02 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6202 6207
6203 6208 * Python version check (>=2.1) added.
6204 6209
6205 6210 * Added LazyPython documentation. At this point the docs are quite
6206 6211 a mess. A cleanup is in order.
6207 6212
6208 6213 * Auto-installer created. For some bizarre reason, the zipfiles
6209 6214 module isn't working on my system. So I made a tar version
6210 6215 (hopefully the command line options in various systems won't kill
6211 6216 me).
6212 6217
6213 6218 * Fixes to Struct in genutils. Now all dictionary-like methods are
6214 6219 protected (reasonably).
6215 6220
6216 6221 * Added pager function to genutils and changed ? to print usage
6217 6222 note through it (it was too long).
6218 6223
6219 6224 * Added the LazyPython functionality. Works great! I changed the
6220 6225 auto-quote escape to ';', it's on home row and next to '. But
6221 6226 both auto-quote and auto-paren (still /) escapes are command-line
6222 6227 parameters.
6223 6228
6224 6229
6225 6230 2001-11-01 Fernando Perez <fperez@colorado.edu>
6226 6231
6227 6232 * Version changed to 0.0.7. Fairly large change: configuration now
6228 6233 is all stored in a directory, by default .ipython. There, all
6229 6234 config files have normal looking names (not .names)
6230 6235
6231 6236 * Version 0.0.6 Released first to Lucas and Archie as a test
6232 6237 run. Since it's the first 'semi-public' release, change version to
6233 6238 > 0.0.6 for any changes now.
6234 6239
6235 6240 * Stuff I had put in the ipplib.py changelog:
6236 6241
6237 6242 Changes to InteractiveShell:
6238 6243
6239 6244 - Made the usage message a parameter.
6240 6245
6241 6246 - Require the name of the shell variable to be given. It's a bit
6242 6247 of a hack, but allows the name 'shell' not to be hardwired in the
6243 6248 magic (@) handler, which is problematic b/c it requires
6244 6249 polluting the global namespace with 'shell'. This in turn is
6245 6250 fragile: if a user redefines a variable called shell, things
6246 6251 break.
6247 6252
6248 6253 - magic @: all functions available through @ need to be defined
6249 6254 as magic_<name>, even though they can be called simply as
6250 6255 @<name>. This allows the special command @magic to gather
6251 6256 information automatically about all existing magic functions,
6252 6257 even if they are run-time user extensions, by parsing the shell
6253 6258 instance __dict__ looking for special magic_ names.
6254 6259
6255 6260 - mainloop: added *two* local namespace parameters. This allows
6256 6261 the class to differentiate between parameters which were there
6257 6262 before and after command line initialization was processed. This
6258 6263 way, later @who can show things loaded at startup by the
6259 6264 user. This trick was necessary to make session saving/reloading
6260 6265 really work: ideally after saving/exiting/reloading a session,
6261 6266 *everything* should look the same, including the output of @who. I
6262 6267 was only able to make this work with this double namespace
6263 6268 trick.
6264 6269
6265 6270 - added a header to the logfile which allows (almost) full
6266 6271 session restoring.
6267 6272
6268 6273 - prepend lines beginning with @ or !, with a and log
6269 6274 them. Why? !lines: may be useful to know what you did @lines:
6270 6275 they may affect session state. So when restoring a session, at
6271 6276 least inform the user of their presence. I couldn't quite get
6272 6277 them to properly re-execute, but at least the user is warned.
6273 6278
6274 6279 * Started ChangeLog.
